What does it truly mean to worship God? In this message, Andy unpacks Romans 12:1-2 and challenges our modern view of worship. Worship isn't just songs, music or emotions—it's presenting our whole lives to God as a living sacrifice. From the mess of our lives to the depths of our pain, God calls us to the altar—not to shame us, but to transform us.“Bring your mess to the altar.” Why? Because whoever touches Jesus' altar can become holy. (Exodus 29:37We explore:- Why God takes a Fatherly pleasure in you, even in your imperfections- The danger and beauty of the altar- How repentance is more than a guilty feeling—it's the gateway to a transformed mind- Why many of us resist God's altar despite needing to let go of our junk

I'm incredibly honored to share a conversation with someone whose work has had a massive influence on my own jiu-jitsu journey, from the earliest stages right up to today—Rob Biernacki.Rob is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and the head instructor at Island Top Team in Nanaimo, British Columbia. He's also the mastermind behind BJJ Concepts, the groundbreaking instructional platform that redefined the way so many of us—me included—think about learning jiu-jitsu.Rob's approach is rooted in logic, structure, and conceptual clarity. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by technique after technique, his material gives you a framework to understand jiu-jitsu. His teachings on alignment, structure, and posture-based control completely changed how I see the art, and I know I'm not alone.In this episode, Rob and I discuss his evolution as a coach, The Roadhouse Choke, and how to develop a game built on principles, not memorization. We get into his thoughts on the direction of the sport, the pitfalls of conventional training, and what keeps him excited to keep exploring and teaching.Rob's one of the few voices in the BJJ world that consistently advocates smarter, more efficient learning. I can't overstate how much his content has shaped how I train and communicate about Jiu-Jitsu to others.Links:https://www.instagram.com/islandtopteamhttps://islandtopteam.com/https://bjjconcepts.net/Become a VIP member for only .99 a month, get ad-free, uncensored, early episodes https://is.gd/GytgXMInstagram @foreverwhitebeltshow.Go buy your Forever White Belt merchandise at teespring.com/forever-white-belt.Linktree https://linktr.ee/foreverwhitebeltBuy Salt Electrolytes  @SaltElectrolytes  use code FWB for 15% off. https://saltelectrolytes.com/?fwb #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsu #grappling #bjj

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - I volunteered for the NDP Party during the 1968 election. Aside from that, the only campaign headquarters I've stepped inside was Elizabeth May's Salt Spring Island office in 2019. So when in the midst of doing errands in Campbell River, I found myself with more than an hour to spare, it seemed like a fun idea to visit a campaign headquarters. Somebody told me the ‘red guys' are behind Save On Foods, which is how I ended up at Jennifer Lash's headquarters. After returning home, I learned that yet another poll has been conducted in our riding. The first two were not connected to any political party, but the LIberals comissioned #3. Like poll #2 which was not their's, it shows the Liberals having taken over the second place slot. After contacting 318 voters in North Island Powell River between April 20 and 21, Spadina Strategies reported that 37% intended to vote for the Conservatives, 30% for the Liberals, 25% for the NDP, 5% Green and 2% were undecided. The projection website Poliwave is also reporting a shift in voter intention. On April 18, they stated the #2 party in our riding was the NDP. Their latest projection, published on Wednesday April 23, showed the Conservatives at 45%, the Liberals trailing at 29%, the NDP at 20% and the Green's at 5%. This is not what I intended to report, when I dropped in at the Liberal Party's Campbell River office on Friday. Jennifer Lash was away, knocking on doors, but there were five people gathered in the entrance when I arrived. A young woman immediately detached herself from their conversation. She was one of the four staffers from Ottawa who are working on the Liberal campaign. Sarah Manney gave me permission  to walk around the office taking pictures and interviewing people. I started with her.  Sarah Manney: “Well, I'm Sarah, I'm the campaign manager. I was working in Ottawa, but grew up in Comox. My family's in Nanaimo. When I found out that Jen was running, I knew her in Ottawa and I said, ‘this is the candidate I've always dreamed of for my hometown.' What better person could I ask for to represent the people I grew up with.' So it was just a dream to be able to come work for her and try to make that a reality here in North Island Powell River.” “My whole family's been knocking on doors. We have Jen's family. We have at least five times the number of volunteers that we've ever had in this riding. It's amazing just to see the energy. The other day someone remarked, ‘I've never seen so many Liberals in one place.' It was just this magical feeling like we've all waited for this moment to have someone like Jen to rally around.” The next person I interviewed looked a lot like Jennifer Lash, for good reason. “My name is Wendy Lash. I am Jennifer's sister.”  Cortes Currents: How did you end up working for her in a campaign office?  Wendy had not been expecting that question, but after a few hesitant seconds she suddenly sounded like an old pro. “Well, how can you not support somebody when they're living their purpose? Jen has had a fabulous career of doing good for many people and many things in Canada, but right now -  this is an important time for us! She's bravely taken this on and she's doing a fabulous job. When we heard that she was going to be doing this,  as a family, we knew we needed to support her. So we booked our tickets and we've come from Ontario. We are thrilled to be here and in action.” Cortes Currents: Whereabouts in Ontario are you from?  Wendy Lash: “My husband and I are from Barrie.  Our sister Catherine is coming from Toronto. Jen's kids  are coming back from Ontario and they're also here with us.”

Like many cities in Canada, Nanaimo has a housing crisis. As rent prices have surged, so has homelessness. According to the city's last official count, there are 515 unhoused people in Nanaimo at any given time. By population, that is a higher homelessness rate than the city of Vancouver. The second episode in our series, IDEAS for a Better Canada (produced in partnership with the Samara Centre for Democracy), explores how homelessness affects the health of our democracy and why long-term solutions are so hard to achieve.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Bob Chamberlain, former Vice President of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs  and former elected chief of the Kwikwasut'inuxw Haxwa'mis First Nation is endorsing NDP candidate Tanille Johnson in North Island Powell River.  “I just hope that your listeners are understanding and supportive of justice for First Nations people.”  “I hope they'll vote for the NDP. I say that because I've been NDP my whole life. Back here I've got a sign when I ran for the NDP in Nanaimo." "I hope that they will recognize that only the Liberals and the Conservatives have ever formed government in Canada federally. The situation we're trying to deal with and correct today is a result of red and blue. I have no faith that they'll do what's right,  from Prime Minister Trudeau's tearful acceptance of  the missing murdered indigenous women's report and the Truth and Reconciliation report - which he then did nothing with.” “That's why I would encourage people to support Tanille. She's from here. She's got the lived experience of the North island, she understands .She's  very articulate, and has high concerns for the environment and employment. To me, she's an ideal candidate because she's First Nations, but she's not limited to that focus. Looking at what economy would make good sense, what does the environment need given the current global warming crisis, and what we need to do in our little area of the world to look after our environment.” 

Ever wondered what really happens when a U.S. citizen inherits assets from their Canadian parents?Spoiler: it's not as simple as you'd think.In today's episode, host Gerry Scott sits down with Aaron Dawes, cross-border tax expert from Smythe LLP, to unpack the increasingly common—but often misunderstood—scenario of U.S. individuals inheriting Canadian assets. With more families living cross-border lifestyles and adult children relocating south, questions around tax, compliance, and estate planning have taken on a whole new level of complexity.Aaron breaks down what Americans need to know when it comes to Canadian inheritances—covering everything from brokerage accounts and real estate to RRSPs and even mutual funds (hello, PFIC reporting!). He also shares important guidance for Canadian parents who want to ensure their U.S.-based children don't end up tangled in unnecessary tax trouble.Plus, they touch on the rise of dual-country living, why California residents often get the short end of the treaty stick, and what both sides of the border can do to minimize the risk of double taxation.Whether you're the beneficiary, the planner, or somewhere in between, this episode will give you a better understanding of the tax landscape and how to protect your assets—and your sanity.Key Takeaways:What U.S. beneficiaries need to report when inheriting Canadian assetsWhy Canadian mutual funds can trigger complicated (and costly) U.S. tax filingsHow the Canada–U.S. tax treaty works—and when it doesn'tThe role of executors and why residency mattersSteps Canadian parents can take now to ease the future burden on their U.S. childrenAbout the Guest:Aaron Dawes, CPA, is a partner at Smythe LLP, a British Columbia-based accounting firm with offices in Vancouver, Langley, and Nanaimo. Specializing in U.S.-Canada cross-border taxation, Aaron works closely with families and business owners navigating complex estate, income, and compliance matters across borders.Next Episode Teaser:Stay tuned for part two, where we flip the script: What Canadian beneficiaries need to know when inheriting from U.S. parents—especially when irrevocable trusts come into play.

The episode dives into the intriguing dynamics between the United States and Canada, particularly surrounding trade and intellectual property (IP). As US President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Canadian goods, a discussion emerged on how Canada could respond strategically. The central theme revolves around the underappreciated power of intellectual property as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations, particularly for a smaller nation like Canada. Michael Mulligan, a Barrister with Mulligan Defence Lawyers, emphasized that tariffs, often seen as the primary retaliatory measure, could ultimately harm Canadian consumers more than US producers. Understanding the intricate mechanisms of tariffs is key to grasping the broader consequences they can have on the economy. For instance, imposing a tariff on imported orange juice or motorcycles from the US would lead to inflated prices for Canadian consumers, while the US would experience only a minor economic sting. Thus, the discussion shifted toward a more sophisticated method of retaliation, focusing on IP laws established followin the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its successor, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Mulligan pointed out that the core of US-Canada trade discussions for many years has centred on IP protections, effectively making them a focal point of economic dependence.Mulligan explored real-world examples from Brazil and Antigua, which successfully leveraged their own IP protections in previous trade disputes with the US. Brazil's complaint regarding US cotton subsidies led to the approved threat of revoking US IP protections, which ultimately resulted in the US conceding to pay Brazil $130 million per year. Similarly, Antigua exploited online gambling disputes with the US, illustrating how the threat of losing IP protection led to fruitful negotiations. This approach illustrates how Canada might consider the strategic use of IP law to apply pressure on the US, particularly given the reliance of many American industries on these legal protections.The latter part of the episode transitioned dramatically into a more sombre topic: a first-degree murder case in Nanaimo. The gruesome details of the crime revealed a complex tapestry of intimate partner violence and the psychological implications associated with it. Michael discussed how the defendant's appeal to self-defence was complicated by the admissibility of expert evidence related to intimate partner violence. The case set off a significant dialogue about the complexities of legal definitions surrounding self-defence and the importance of integrating expert insights into judicial proceedings.The legal intricacies presented in the murder case add depth to the episode. The issue of admitting expert evidence played a crucial role, with the judge having to determine if the proposed testimony would be more prejudicial than probative. Mulligan explained that understanding the nuances of intimate partner violence can be vital to a fair trial, as conventional wisdom often fails to capture the complex emotional and psychological realities victims face. The juxtaposition of trade strategies and legal defences in murder cases provides a compelling lens through which to understand both the legal landscape and the very human stories behind it.Ultimately, this podcast episode not only sheds light on the legal frameworks governing trade but also emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of the legal system to understand and acknowledge trauma in criminal cases. It stands as a poignant reminder of how law intersects with both international affairs and personal struggles, illustrating the multifaceted nature of legal advocacy today.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Amber Manthorne was last seen in her Vancouver Island community of Port Alberni on July 7, 2022, leaving her loved ones and the community searching for answers. Her white 2021 Jeep Compass was found abandoned two days later, near a logging road outside Nanaimo. In a chilling twist, security footage shows her ex-boyfriend, Justin Hall, driving her vehicle and struggling with a suitcase and a large plastic tote in the early hours of July 8. The large black plastic tote seen in the footage has never been recovered.The RCMP now believe that Amber was likely the victim of foul play, with Hall as a key person of interest. Yet Hall's own death in Merritt last year has left police with more questions than answers, and Amber's family still waits for closure. In this episode, we speak with Laura Palmer, host of the podcast Island Crime, who covered Amber's case in-depth. Together, we examine the events surrounding Amber's disappearance, the disturbing details caught on camera, and the lingering questions that haunt those still hoping for answers.RCMP Press Release: https://bc-cb.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=2136&languageId=1&contentId=85797Check out "Island Crime": https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/island-crime/id1513479877Finding Amber Manthorne Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1407755686318181--This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Why does God need a name in the first place? John Mark argues that it's because there are many "gods". He surveys scripture passages relating to gods and demonic beings, not only warning us that they are real and should never be worshipped, but that Yahweh is the one true creator God and is higher than them all. Key Scripture Passages: Exodus 34v6-7, Exodus 12v12, Exodus 15v11, Exodus 20v2-4, Psalm 82, Mark 5v1-13, Ephesians 6v10-12This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

Sherry Corrigal, a 22-year-old woman from Nanaimo, has been missing since September 2023. Her disappearance is considered suspicious and deeply troubling by the Nanaimo RCMP, who have been actively investigating her case. Sherry was last seen in the downtown area of Nanaimo, and her lack of contact with family and friends is highly unusual.Sherry is described as being 5 feet tall, weighing around 90 pounds, with long dark hair, and distinctive tattoos on her arms, hands, and back. Despite numerous searches, interviews, and the review of CCTV footage, there have been no significant leads. Her case remains a high priority for the investigators, who are urging anyone with information to come forward directly to the police, rather than sharing unverified details on social media.Join us as we sit down with Jami, one of Sherry's foster mothers, who shares insights into Sherry's life and the emotional journey her loved ones have endured since her disappearance.--Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpodFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
