A New Mission Field Opened | Acts 16:12-40 | 16 July 2025 - Wednesday Evening | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor

My guest today is Aaron Hurst, founder of the Taproot Foundation and author of The Purpose Economy. He's spent decades helping people and organizations find deeper meaning in their work. Today, he's tackling two urgent issues: bridging the tech gap in nonprofits through Board.Dev, and strengthening civic life through the U.S. Chamber of Connection.He joins us now to reflect on the deeper threads that have guided his journey and to share what he's learning as he builds the next wave of impact.

Jenna Poste, a former tech executive, was once at the forefront of innovation at Blackberry, helping to build products during the rise of the “always on” movement – a time that felt brimming with excitement and productivity. However, as engagement metrics and data collection became the true engines of tech growth, Big Tech extended its reach beyond businesses and into childhood. The consequences are now all too clear: addiction, isolation, anxiety, depression, and more.With deep insight into how these platforms are designed, Jenna has made a deliberate choice to keep her young children offline and prioritize real-world connections. As a co-founder of the Nova Scotia chapter of Unplugged Canada, she's advocating for healthier childhoods by delaying smartphone use and encouraging mindful technology habits–for kids and parents alike. “If I am on my phone in front of them, I tell them why…like, ‘I'm looking up a recipe for dinner or answering an important work call'.”In this episode, Jenna and Nicki of Scrolling 2 Death share their perspectives on raising kids in a hyper-connected world, why they chose a different path, and how families can reclaim balance in their lives.About Jenna PosteJenna Poste is a tech executive, mom of two and co-founder of the Nova Scotia chapter of Unplugged Canada—a national parent-led movement working to raise awareness about the impacts of smartphones and social media on kids' mental health and development and advocating for parents to delay.With nearly two decades of experience in the tech industry, Jenna has built products at BlackBerry, led safety initiatives in social media and developed tools focused on well-being. Today, she's using that experience to advocate for healthier childhoods - delaying smartphones, promoting real-world connection, and pushing for policy change across Canada.

In early 2025, new mission presidents and their wives were called to serve in 167 missions around the world. In June, these new mission leadership couples gathered at the Provo Missionary Training Center to receive counsel and instruction from each member of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as well as other members of the Missionary Executive Council, before they reported to their missions in July. This episode of the Church News podcast features excerpts from these messages shared during the four-day seminar, which focused on inviting others to come unto Christ, the power that comes from studying the Book of Mormon and other sacred scriptures, and the need to develop deep and personal conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Acts 9:1–6 NLT1 Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord's followers. So he went to the high priest.2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains.3 As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him.4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”5 “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting!6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” KEY #1 - NEW LIGHT.

Jared Halverson hosts the Unshaken podcast, going verse by verse through the Come Follow Me curriculum. https://www.youtube.com/@Unshaken In his public and private efforts to create unshaken faith in the LDS community, he discusses  two themes ad nauseam: the 3 stages of creation, fall and atonement in lived experience, and the proving of contraries to find the truth, or, to find what is needed in any given situation. The Fall and Atonement are, of course, themselves contraries. Why is Jared so fixated on the idea of opposites? How is he using them to help people? In this episode, I theorize that he is being guided to study the language of the minds of the people God is preparing to receive the restored Gospel, just as he has been in the past. The restored Church of Jesus Christ has already filled North and South America and Europe, and will reach every nation on earth. Is Jared preparing the language of the Saints to bring the gospel to minds trained in taoism and the yin yang?He has served as an Institute teacher. From 1999 to 2005, he taught at the Institute of Religion in Provo, Utah. Later, he held various roles within the Church Educational System, including positions as an instructor and assistant director at the University of Utah Institute of Religion from 2014 to 2022. He also served as the director of the Westminster Institute of Religion between 2018 and 2020 .In addition to his teaching roles, Halverson has been involved in curriculum development and interfaith dialogue. He has also contributed to various publications and has been a featured speaker in both devotional and academic settings. Currently, he is an associate professor of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University.His landmark devotional on the utility of opposites in discipleship (or contraries) is called “Seeking Truth Devotional Featuring Jared Halverson” and was posted on the Highland Utah East Stake YouTube Channel on January 9, 2022. It currently has 230K views. The title of his talk was “Finding Faith in an Age of Doubt.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY9_bN7EFOc&t=6sI made a commentary on that fireside:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u16ruPNRRUA&t=1sGet affordable, continuous help for those chronic pain points in your key relationships here: https://bit.ly/monthlyrelationshipcoachingExtend our reach✔️ PayPal: https://paypal.me/eekbin?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US✔️ Venmo: @justinmbirdThe Relationship textbook

Brand New, part 4

We do all our own stunts on our podcasts and so does Tom Cruise. That's why we're starting with "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning." It's something to do with AI run amok, plus Tom walks on an airplane wing and takes his shirt off a lot. We watched all 2 hours and 49 minutes of it. Did we like it? You'll have to listen. We've also got the latest Marvel movie "Thunderbolts" which may very well help reinvigorate a franchise. Neil (finally) caught up with "Your Friends and Neighbors"  and Bill McCuddy tells us about holding on to something belonging to Gary Cooper. What, pray tell, could that be? Bill M also aught up with a Tom Hardy movie and Bill Bregoli (of course) tells us about a teen sex comedy starring SNL's Chloe Fineman (it's on Hulu) called "Summer of 69." Notice the lack of apostrophe -  it's very telling. Somehow Neil was let back onto Broadway again and he swears he saw "this year's 'Hamilton.'" He also watched a Mathew Perry documentary and read a book about Nora Epron. Where does he find the time? And for those who like real crime documentaries we've go "Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer" on Netflix. There's a lot here so listen in!
