The Profound Power of Unity and Obedience Join Dr. Edith Davis as she dives into the essential, non-optional nature of unity for the body of Christ. She begins by celebrating God's love for diversity—seen everywhere from tropical rainforests to deserts—and explains that this diversity is a reflection of life at its most prolific. True unity in the Church, she asserts, is found not in conformity, but in universal acceptance of Christ Jesus as both Savior and Lord. This powerful teaching covers critical areas for every believer: -- The Call to Lordship: Not everyone wants Jesus to be their Lord, but obedience to Him is always for our good. -- Checking Your Foundation: Divisiveness, strife, and envy are "works of the enemy," which should prompt a check of one's salvation, as being saved should mean operating in the Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, meekness, and self-control). -- The True Meaning of Meekness: It is not weakness, but power and authority under submission to the Lord God, Holy Spirit. -- Supernatural Love: We are commanded to love one another, our neighbors, and our enemies—a feat that is supernatural and requires the power of the Holy Spirit. -- The Example of Stephen: The first martyr's prayer for his persecutors led directly to the conversion and mighty ministry of Saul (Paul) of Tarsus, demonstrating the powerful consequences of obedience and love. -- Walking in Authority: As sons and daughters of the King, believers have been given the authority and power to rule and reign and to destroy the works of the enemy, including sickness, disease, lack, and poverty. -- The Necessity of Intimacy: To walk in unity and power, we must prioritize intimacy with Christ Jesus—spending personal time with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to feed our own spirit from the overflow. Dr. Davis concludes with a call to action to walk unified and be about the Father's business, warning that we "cannot afford to be offended, period." Scriptures for Further Study -- Galatians 5:22-23 (Fruits of the Spirit) -- Acts 7:59-60 (Stephen's prayer for his enemies) -- Acts 9:1-22 (The conversion of Saul of Tarsus) -- Proverbs 3:5-6 (Trust in the Lord with all your heart) This is episode 379. +++++++ Check out my new website: https://www.enterthegloryzone.org/ MY AUDIO BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE You can Divorce Proof Your Marriage by understanding the Secret Keys of Love.

  Hooked rugs are humble things made of recycled cloth and worn out textiles, originally born of need and lack: and yet they have come to mean much more to the communities that produced and enjoyed them. In America they have become an emblem of homespun pioneer thrift and self-reliance and an important element in the definition of a certain kind of national values.   Handmade hooked rugs are the stuff of everyday life, but in Canada they became a vital form of income for impoverished seafaring families in Labrador and Newfoundland. And in northern England and southern Scotland they brightened up the hearth of many rural and urban working-class homes.   But in the far north of the British Isles a very different tradition developed where sewn pile rugs came to play a role as vital protection for sleeping bodies against night time trolls and witches.   Join us as we explore the many forms of hooky, proggy, proddy, clooty, clippy, stobby, and bodgy rugs that have spread around the world.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/

Welcome to Day 2725 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2725 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 89:30-37 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2725 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2725 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 of this Wisdom-Trek is: Covenant and Correction – The Unfailing Promise Beyond Sin Today, we continue our deep exploration of the magnificent Psalm Eighty-nine, focusing on the pivotal verses thirty through thirty-seven in the New Living Translation. This psalm is a grand meditation on the Davidic Covenant, which we covered in detail in our previous trek. We heard God's unbreakable oath to David, promising an eternal dynasty, an unwavering hand of support, and the title of "firstborn, the mightiest of all kings on earth." The core message was the perpetuity of the throne, guaranteed by God's eternal Unfailing Love  (ḥesed). Now, the psalm addresses the inevitable question that hangs over any covenant involving human beings: What happens when David's descendants sin? This section provides the powerful, compassionate, and definitive answer. God assures the Davidic line that while sin will bring discipline and punishment, it will never break the covenant itself. This distinction between temporary discipline and eternal covenant is the central theological assurance of this passage, and it's vital for anchoring our hope. So, let's open our hearts and minds to this profound divine teaching on the nature of grace, discipline, and eternal commitment. The first section is: The Reality of Sin and the Necessity of Discipline Psalm Eighty-nine: thirty through thirty-two  "But if your descendants forsake my instructions and fail to live by my regulations, if they ignore my decrees and disobey my commands, then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their rebellion with whipping." God, who speaks through the prophetic vision in this psalm, moves directly to the problem of human failure. This is a realistic covenant; God knows that David's descendants, like all human rulers, will be prone to failure: "But if your descendants forsake my instructions and fail to live by my regulations..." The "But if" introduces the conditional clause, the possibility of covenant violation by the human party. The psalmist emphasizes the deliberate nature of their potential disobedience. They don't just forget; they "forsake" God's instructions (tōrôt, the divine teaching or law), and they "fail to live by my regulations" (mishpaṭîm, the divine judgments or legal decrees). This is a profound failure of both heart and deed. They ignore the wisdom that we seek here on the trek! The condition of sin is...

We're talking about reproductive freedom — history, facts, nuance, and feelings. Rebecca Grant — journalist and author of Birth and Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom — breaks down how we got here (pre-Roe to post-Dobbs), what “the abortion underground” actually means today, and why medication abortion has completely reshaped access and agency. We wade into myths (nope, bans don't end abortion), maternal health reality, and the hard-to-hold truth that multiple truths can coexist — while still standing firm that choice is the point. Our stance? You are the decider. Full stop. (Also, rage-posting is not a strategy. Not sorry.) What we cover: A clear timeline from TRAP laws to Dobbs — and the movements before Roe that built today's playbook. What “abortion underground” includes now (from shield-law telemedicine to community networks) and what's legal vs. scare-tactic theater. Why medication abortion changed the game — and why clinics and trained providers still absolutely matter. Maternal health in America (it's not pretty) and how bans ripple into care for everyone who can become pregnant. Myth-busting: who actually has abortions, safety data, and why “my choice ≠ everyone's choice” is the adult take. Together, these insights remind us that reproductive freedom isn't a political talking point — it's the foundation of equality, autonomy, and what it truly means to define woman's work on our own terms.

Climate Migration Is Inevitable: The Global South, the Four Horsemen, and the Necessity of Movement. Gaia Vince's book, Nomad Century: How Climate Migration Will Reshape Our World, examines the statistics warning that the climate of the near future will be dramatically different. Vince emphasizes that climate migration is "very much underway" and inevitable, highlighting the plight of Abel Cruz, a farmer in rural Peru who moved to Lima due to drought but became part of the growing global south slums. The phenomenon of the global south moving north is overwhelming, as the tropics are becoming dangerous and unlivable, compelling people to move to higher latitudes in the northern temperate zone, which are generally wealthier and better equipped to adapt. Vince refers to the primary threats that force movement as the "four horsemen of the Anthropocene": fire, heat, flood, and drought, which destroy livelihoods and property. 1956

What does a career path look like when it's guided by necessity, unconventional experiences, and a deep respect for place? This week, we're joined by David Sellers, founder of Hawaii Off-Grid Architecture and Engineering and Surf Block, whose journey embodies designing within limits to create smarter, self-sustaining systems.David shares his non-traditional path, from working as a mechanic and on Alaskan fishing boats to studying architecture in the Netherlands. These experiences fueled a fascination with self-sufficient systems, inspired by observing the integrated mechanics of boats. This led him to Hawaii, where high energy costs and resource constraints created the perfect environment to build a multidisciplinary practice focused on net-zero and off-grid projects. His firm, Hawaii Off-Grid, now mandates that all new buildings be at least net-zero, driven by both environmental values and a compelling economic proposition for clients.The conversation also dives into Surf Block, a startup born from observing the sheer volume of surfboard foam waste filling local landfills. Inspired by insulated composite concrete forms (ICCFs), David saw an opportunity to turn this waste into a high-performance, resilient building material - resistant to hurricanes, mold, mildew, and termites - perfectly suited for Hawaii's climate and challenges. Now, Surf Block is playing a crucial role in the rebuilding efforts in Lahaina. David's hope is that his work inspires others to find similar opportunities in their own backyards. “Necessity - that's been the story of my life ever since. And I think that part of our architecture practice is rooted in necessity. There's a necessity for us to have climate responsive design, because we're seeing a shift in vernacular architecture.” - David SellersThis episode concludes with a powerful reminder that innovation often stems from constraints and necessity. David's story showcases how diverse experiences outside traditional architecture can enrich design thinking and lead to ventures with profound environmental and community impact. He demonstrates that architects' next frontier may lie not in grand scale, but in developing intelligent, self-sufficient systems that respond directly to the unique challenges of their place, ultimately inspiring others to find and create value in unexpected ways.GuestDavid Sellers is the founder of Hawaii Off-Grid Architecture and Engineering and the co-founder of Surf Block. With an unconventional background that includes working as a mechanic, on fishing boats, and studying architecture internationally, David brings a unique systems-thinking approach to sustainable design. His practice in Hawaii focuses on net-zero, off-grid, and climate-responsive projects driven by the unique environmental and economic necessities of the islands. Through Surf Block, he is pioneering the use of recycled surfboard foam waste to create innovative, resilient building materials for communities like Lahaina.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You are interested in off-grid, net-zero, and sustainable design practices. ✅ You believe necessity and constraints can be powerful drivers of innovation.✅ You are inspired by unconventional career paths within and beyond architecture. ✅ You want to learn about innovative approaches to waste stream utilization and sustainable materials. ✅ You are looking for examples of architecture practices with a strong quadruple bottom line focus (community, environment, global impact, career progress).

Send us a textWhoever controls the dictionary controls you. And if you lose the meaning of major beliefs or values, you lose the beliefs and values themselves. It's massively important to not only call ourselves the right thing, but it's equally important to be able to articulate what those right things are. If we can't do that, we lose our anchor to reality itself and we'll be pulled around wherever the culture wants to take us. Which is never anywhere good.In this episode I discuss how we should think about, and be able to define, the components of our worldview, and I give 3 major examples that should be important for Christian Conservatives.Support the showSupport the Show! https://www.patreon.com/sparenoarrowsCheck out the video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@sparenoarrowsConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spare_no_arrows/Spare no Arrows on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6CqhvtMWRItkoiv8ZrJ6zVSpare no Arrows on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spare-no-arrows/id1528869516

Dry Kill Logic is one of those Nu-Metal bands that seemed to slip through the cracks during the heyday of the early to mid 2000s, but their catalog was far ahead of its time in terms of sound, songwriting, aesthetics, and performance. Today, the band is back and experiencing a big resurgence, and I'm so grateful I got to speak with vocalist Cliff Rigano on the show. He's an incredibly kind, gracious, and articulate guy with so much wisdom to impart, and we spoke about topics like staying true to the courage of your convictions in life, the necessity to change and adapt to the events around you, what the most profound transformation of his life was, and so much more. Big thank you to Cliff for being so open, and go see Dry Kill Logic when they arrive in your area!

In this message, Benjamin ties together the necessity of having a Psalm 27 lifestyle in order to truly grasp the power behind the tools we have been given in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: rejoicing always, praying continually, and giving thanks in all things. A lifestyle rooted deeply in Psalm 27 is the foundation needed in order to know how to use these tools to keep and protect the soil of our heart.

Pastor Iain begins our new series on prayer by asking a key question—why do we need prayer in our lives as Christians?

As promised, today we're bringing you a full-length interview with Steven Pinker about his new book, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows . . .: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life. What is common knowledge? For Steve, it is not conventional wisdom. Instead, it's when everyone knows something and everyone knows that and everyone knows it. That may sound loopy, but the implications of common knowledge — how it's produced, sustained, and manipulated — are profound. “It's common knowledge,” Steve tells Rufus, “that makes humans human. Humans are not solitary. What makes humans humans is that we coordinate in groups — from couples to nations to, in some cases, the entire world — and I think common knowledge is the underpinning, the cement, the foundation of that ability to coordinate.” (8:00) Why “coffee” doesn't just mean coffee (14:40) What blushes and laughter unintentionally reveal (30:39) The real reason brands spend millions on Super Bowl ads (35:00) How common knowledge explains cancel culture (48:43) What happens to society when norms collapse? —

Just two years ago, AI was a shiny new object in L&D, with most professionals dabbling in small pilots and content creation experiments. The latest findings reveal an inflection point: the majority of L&D teams are now actively using AI, not merely testing it.This week, on the podcast are Donald H. Taylor and Eglė Vinauskaitė, the minds behind a groundbreaking new report, "AI & Learning 2025: Race for Impact." We're exploring the rapid changes AI is bringing to Learning and Development (L&D), from early experimentation to widespread implementation, and what it means for the future of work.In this conversation, you'll hear about the three distinct futures for L&D departments, how AI is moving beyond simple content creation into qualitative analytics and adaptive learning, and why team culture and leadership are crucial for success. We also dig into some big philosophical questions: How do we keep humans at the center of tech-driven workplaces? And how will AI reshape the very definition of value in L&D?This episode is packed with insights, data, and stories from organizations at the forefront of change. So, get ready to rethink how learning happens and how impactful workplace transformation can be.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] How AI is transforming Learning and Development.[05:40] Transition from experimentation to mainstream implementation of AI in L&D.[13:31] Debunking the maturity model.[16:03] AI integration culture in organizations.[25:07] AI's impact on L&D values.[38:54] Necessity for L&D to demonstrate clear impact and unique value beyond content.[47:36] Leadership Beyond the L&D silo.[52:25] Introduction of the “transformation triangle”: three potential strategic futures.The Rapid Evolution of AI in L&DAI usage still predominantly supports content creation and design, but there's an intriguing rise in more sophisticated applications, especially data analysis, dynamic feedback, and even AI-driven coaching. For L&D leaders, the big question is no longer “should we use AI?” but “how can we use it to unlock deeper value for our organizations?”What Sets Successful L&D Teams Apart?A critical insight from the report is the role of mindset and organizational culture in successful AI adoption. Teams thriving with AI aren't necessarily bigger or better-resourced; they are “open” teams, led by individuals who embrace risk, imperfect information, and proactive change. These leaders are comfortable experimenting without knowing all the answers, an essential trait for the current landscape.True transformation requires more than tech skills; it demands business acumen, a robust understanding of performance, and an ability to integrate learning with business strategy. L&D teams must move from being passive order-takers to strategic partners, actively shaping how people develop and perform.AI: Threat or Opportunity for Traditional L&D Roles?For some, the rise of AI in learning is unnerving. Tasks once considered core, like instructional design or content creation, can increasingly be automated, often cheaper and faster than before. Taylor cautions that unless L&D professionals shift their value proposition from content production to driving true impact, their roles risk being diminished or redefined.But there is an opportunity for L&D to expand its influence. Rather than being relegated to the background, teams can now focus on performance support, skills stewardship, and facilitating human growth, areas where strategic thinking and deep expertise are critical and cannot be automated away.Three Futures for L&D: Skills Authority, Enablement Partner, Adaptation EnginePerhaps the most provocative segment of the episode introduced three possible “futures” for L&D roles in the AI era:Skills Authority: L&D becomes the custodian of skills, owning skill taxonomies, plumbing, and strategic workforce development. This future demands advanced expertise in identifying, building, and tracking capabilities crucial to business success.Enablement Partner: Here, L&D empowers employees across the organization to create their own learning solutions. The team shifts from direct content delivery to building infrastructure, processes, and trust, letting expertise flourish where it's needed most.Adaptation Engine: The most radical scenario, where L&D is absorbed into cross-functional teams focused on rapid business adaptation. Learning professionals blend with design, tech, and operations to solve holistic problems, making learning indistinguishable from broader performance improvement.While AI will eventually become as invisible as electricity, the human element in learning, facilitation, creativity, and stewardship remains paramount. The priority for leaders now is to harness AI thoughtfully, ensuring it serves genuine learning and performance goals rather than just delivering faster horses. Resources & People MentionedAI in L&D: The Race For ImpactAI in L&D (4 Reports) Connect with Donald H.

Blaise Agüera y Arcas explores some mind-bending ideas about what intelligence and life really are—and why they might be more similar than we think (filmed at ALIFE conference, 2025 - https://2025.alife.org/).Life and intelligence are both fundamentally computational (he says). From the very beginning, living things have been running programs. Your DNA? It's literally a computer program, and the ribosomes in your cells are tiny universal computers building you according to those instructions.**SPONSOR MESSAGES**—Prolific - Quality data.

In this raw members-only rant, he debriefs the San Diego Operator Training Summit, breaks down the PT standard panic in the Air Force, and flame-throws the idiocy of “Blues Mondays.” From watching 38 candidates grind it out to eviscerating the armchair critics of “warrior ethos,” this episode is a spicy casserole of truth bombs, sarcasm, and unsolicited leadership advice. Plus, why some folks are mad about "our boys" and how social media outrage might just be one big bot-fueled joke. Buckle up, because Jared's mic is hot and his patience is not.
