Leviticus 25:8-22 The second message in the series: GIVE IT A REST! This sermon talks about rest and the best way to relax into the good promises of God and the healing boundaries he has set for us. We want the church that can only be built by his power, and we see his power best when we are still and waiting on him. This message looks further into Leviticus 25 and the concept of Jubilee. This chapter teaches us that we periodically need a clean slate and a fresh start together; we need to tare the scales!
What does it really mean to make a new starting with God? And what does it look like to stop trusting in ourselves and completely trust in Christ? Watch as Pastor Oscar Martinez takes us through A New Start in week 2 of Made New!
Have you ever needed a new start? In this week’s message, Guest Speaker Bob Merritt shares a powerful message about what happens when our choices leave us feeling stuck, broken, or far from God. Through the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Bob reminds us that we all have moments when we find ourselves in a “glorious mess”—but our mess does not have to be the end of our story. Sin often begins with a thought, moves into action, and eventually brings pain and loss. But even in our deepest moments, there is an opportunity for redemption. The good news is that one good decision can begin to change everything. Like the prodigal son who chose to go back home to his father, we can take a step toward God—even when we feel unworthy or unsure where to begin. And when we turn toward the Father, we discover that He is waiting for us. His response is compassion, restoration, belonging, and love. No matter what you’ve done or how far you’ve wandered, there is a way home. You may be in a glorious ruin, but God is not finished with your story.

Ca$h Carter has been a Crip since he was 8 years old. Growing up in New York City with his father out of the picture, his mother battling addiction, and a foster mother raising him, the Harlem Crip set became the family he found in the streets. More than 20 years later, Cash has cycled through juvenile detention, Rikers Island, and multiple stints in New York State prison. He survived Rikers as a Crip, navigating gang politics, violence, and the realities that come with carrying that identity behind the wall. _____________________________________________ #crimenews #newyork #prison #harlem #rikersisland _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

CAPTION 1945 Hiroshima inspectionThe he collapse of traditional arms treaties.Peter Huessy, fellow at the National Institute for Deterrence Studies and the Gold Institute for International Strategy, outlines several critical perspectives on the modern landscape of nuclear weapons and the collapse of traditional arms treaties. Huessy argues that a trilateral arms control agreement between the US, Russia, and China is highly unlikely: the US Senate would not approve a treaty that permits Russia and China to hold a combined 3,000 warheads while restricting the US to 1,500, and neither adversary would agree to a deal where the US matches their combined total. Instead of numerical limits, he believes any future progress would have to focus on banning specific destabilizing systems, like multiple-warhead land-based ICBMs or space-based weapons. According to Huessy, Russia's core objectives have remained unchanged since the creation of NATO: to dismantle the NATO alliance and neutralize American missile defense. He explains that Russia utilized past bilateral treaties, such as the Moscow Treaty and New START, as a tactical pause to "catch up" and build up its arsenal. A major security threat is Russia's implementation of a 1999 decree to build highly accurate, low-yield theater nuclear weapons meant to win conventional battlefield conflicts; he warns that Russia (and increasingly China) uses these weapons as tools of nuclear blackmail to coerce the West into standing down. Unlike the US, which maintains a strict separation between conventional and nuclear platforms, both Russia and China deploy dual-capable systems that can easily be converted to carry nuclear payloads, and Russia has actively developed unconstrained, exotic technologies, including hypersonic glide vehicles, nuclear-armed satellites, nuclear-powered long-range cruise missiles, and an underwater system designed to generate massive tidal waves. Ultimately, Huessy emphasizes a fundamental divergence in nuclear philosophy: while the US views its nuclear triad strictly as a defensive extended deterrent to prevent war, Russia and China view their nuclear forces as tools of coercion designed to carve out "sanctuaries" to commit conventional aggression.

In this episode, James Maude sits down with Jane Frankland, MBE, founder of Newstart and author of the bestselling book InSecurity, whose career in cybersecurity spans nearly thirty years and began not in tech but in art and design. She shares the hard lessons learned building one of the UK's first penetration testing companies from the ground up. Reflects on how that experience shaped a book arguing that the absence of women in cybersecurity is a risk problem, not a diversity checkbox.Jane breaks down her framework, based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, for why most security teams are chasing tools while ignoring leadership, culture and governance, and shares the surprising incompetence she has seen from seasoned practitioners in real world incident simulations. She also describes the motivation for her upcoming second book and why she believes cybersecurity has been solving the wrong problem all along.

This Sunday, Pastor Mike Nolen delivers a message titled, "New Heart, New Start," based on Jeremiah 31.
In this episode, my guest is Dr. Roger Seheult, MD, is a physician quadruple board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, critical care medicine, and sleep medicine, an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University, and the co-founder of MedCram. Today, he explains why vitamin D levels strongly predicted COVID-19 outcomes while vitamin D supplementation largely failed to reproduce the benefit, and makes the case that vitamin D is a marker for sunlight exposure rather than the primary mechanism behind it. He describes the near-infrared portion of sunlight which penetrates through the human body, and the hypothesis that it stimulates melatonin produced inside mitochondria, where it acts as a local antioxidant. We discuss randomized trials of infrared light in hospitalized and ICU patients, why greenery reflects infrared while concrete absorbs it, the Green Heart Louisville tree-planting trial, evidence that bright light at night predicts higher mortality, the NEWSTART framework, the Adventist Health Study, and published research on faith, forgiveness, and health.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-5-2026.Michael Bernstam discusses how August is historically a "month of curses" for Russia, citing the 1991 coup and the 1914 start of WWI. Currently, Russia is facing a severe fiscal and production crisis driven by Ukrainian drone strikes that have crippled 25% of its oil refining capacity. Additionally, Ukrainian drones recently destroyed a massive Wildberrieswarehouse—Russia's equivalent to Amazon—stripping a million vendors of their livelihoods and stressing the banking sector. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is in fiscal trouble due to its $1.5 trillion "The Line" project and Houthi attacks on its pipelines. This pressure is leading the Saudis to urge the Trump administration toward concessions with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and stabilize oil flows. Bernstam notes that while the EU has frozen the Russian oil price cap at $44.10, the real impact on Russian revenues will come from any reduction in world oil prices. (1)Bob Zimmerman highlights the rapid evolution of the commercial space industry, comparing it to the early 20th-century auto boom. A major milestone includes SpaceX successfully retrieving a Starship stage from the Indian Ocean to analyze its thermal protection tiles. Zimmerman notes that the FAA is proposing to exempt spaceports from 13 environmental laws to curb "mission creep" and "lawfare." In the satellite market, Starlink's dominance has forced competitors like Hughes into bankruptcy. Internationally, Zimmerman criticizes the European Union Space Act as a regulatory disaster that could drive U.S. and Chinese businesses away from the EU market. Other notable developments include Spain's $1 billion offer to move the Thirty Meter Telescope to the Canary Islands and new evidence that near-surface ice is ubiquitous on Mars, simplifying future colonization. He also mentions the mapping of 200,000 supermassive black holes. (2)James Holmes and Gordon Chang address the critical lack of frigates in the U.S. Navy, which Holmes describes as essential low-cost platforms for monitoring adversaries. The current fleet is "top-heavy," relying on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are overworked. Holmes explains that the new Constellation-class frigate program has been delayed because the Navy continues to "monkey with the designs," resulting in vessels that are destroyer-sized but under-armed. Meanwhile, China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises since 2005 to improve interoperability and provide military options in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Holmes suggests the U.S. should consider leveraging the superior shipbuilding capacity of allies like South Korea, which claims it could produce five Arleigh Burkes annually, whereas the U.S. struggles to build two. The focus remains on regaining the ability to build plentiful, cost-effective combatants. (3)Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang explore the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) "long arm" influence in the U.S., specifically regarding a Purdue University professor pressured to cancel a speech at a Catholic conference. Tozzi explains that the CCP uses "patriotic churches" to "sinicize" Catholicism, which involves forcing the religion to conform to Party dictates. Tozzi criticizes the Vatican's "accommodationist approach" under the 2018 Sino-Vatican Accord, noting it neglects the persecuted "underground" church. He highlights that figures like Cardinal Zen and Archbishop Cordileone have been vocal defenders of figures like Jimmy Lai. Tozzi argues that the Catholic hierarchy must understand the totalitarian nature of the CCP, which seeks absolute control over all institutions. The discussion emphasizes that Chinese officials use intimidation to project dominance even within American universities and religious organizations. (4)Steve Yates and Gordon Chang discuss the proposed ban on Chinese components in U.S. data centers, warning that these devices allow for foreign sabotage of critical infrastructure. Yates notes that the CCP often fuels "astroturf" protests in rural America to block data center construction and slow U.S. AI development. Regarding Taiwan, Yates reports that security cooperation is becoming more transparent, moving away from "strategic ambiguity" to reassure allies and deter China. However, he notes a delay in a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, suggesting that some in Washington still prioritize "walking on eggshells" to preserve the relationship with Xi Jinping. Yates argues for a shift toward helping partners buy and use their own deterrent capabilities. He concludes that U.S. leadership in compute power is a vital strategic advantage that China is actively trying to undermine through influence operations. (5)Peter Huessy provides a historical overview of nuclear arms control, starting with the 1972 SALT I agreement, which actually codified a buildup of weapons while banning missile defenses. He describes the "window of vulnerability" in the 1980s when Soviet SS-18 missiles threatened a first strike. The START I and START II treaties in the 1990s achieved the first real reductions, with START II aiming to ban destabilizing multiple-warhead (MIRV) land-based missiles. However, START II unraveled when Russia demanded limits on U.S. missile defenses. Following the Moscow Treatyand the 2010 New START, the arms control regime has effectively collapsed. Huessy emphasizes that today, there is no active treaty governing nuclear weapons between the U.S. and Russia. He underscores the importance of past verification measures, like "portal monitoring" in missile factories, which are no longer in place. (6)Humberto Briceño describes Venezuela as a state captured by a transnational alliance of criminal organizations, including colectivos (paramilitaries) and narco-traffickers. He criticizes the decision to leave "gangsters" like Delcy Rodríguez in power while attempting to rebuild democracy. Briceño argues that the judiciary and military must be entirely replaced, as they currently serve only as agents of the regime. Despite $13 billion in recent oil earnings, massive corruption has left the funds unaccounted for. He maintains that free elections, ideally by March 2027, are impossible without first dismantling the criminal infrastructure and placing the military under civil authority. Briceño praises the leadership of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, noting the Venezuelan people are desperate for transformation after three decades of state-sponsored violence and economic collapse. (7)Simon Constable reports on the extreme weather and energy pressures facing Europe, with Brent crude prices up 12% and natural gas up 22% in a single month. He details a "semi-invasion" of Spain, where 60,000 migrants recently attempted to cross from Morocco, and the controversy in the UK over using the Royal Navy to return migrant boats to France. Constable describes the lack of logic in French police allowing these dangerous rubber rafts to depart. Switching to his "data center quiz," he reveals that 67% of new data centers are planned for rural areas, which often brings both high local resistance and significant tax revenue. He identifies labor shortages—particularly for electricians—and tariff uncertainties as the primary barriers to U.S. data center construction. Constable notes that within five miles of an operational data center, a significant portion of the U.S. population now resides. (8)Mary Kissel analyzes the "stuck" state of global diplomacy, arguing that China and Russia are actively judging the strength of U.S. deterrence in the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine. She disputes the idea that China is a neutral bystander, noting that Beijing benefits from Russian energy, Iranian markets, and the depletion of U.S. military assets like Patriotmissiles. Kissel asserts that the "merging" of the wars in Ukraine and Iran actually happened years ago through long-standing regime cooperation. She warns that a "halfway house" deal with Iran would only grant the regime more leverage and threaten European population centers with ballistic missiles. NATO must recognize a "condominium of countries"—China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—that are aligning against Western security. Kissel emphasizes that these regimes' interference in U.S. domestic politics is a strategic tool used to promote their own ends. (9)Colonel Grant Newsham challenges the assumption of inevitable Chinese dominance, labeling it a "fake it till you make it" strategy intended to intimidate foreigners. He points out that China's property market is a "crater" and its currency is not freely convertible, forcing the CCP to aggressively export overcapacity to earn the dollars needed for raw materials. Newsham highlights that over 600 million Chinese citizens live on less than $5 a day, and even the CCP elite, including Xi Jinping, keep wealth overseas as a hedge against the system's future. He argues that China's high-tech focus on AI and robotics does not solve its massive youth unemployment. Newsham concludes that China is a "big power but not a great one," functioning as a "rigged casino" without property rights or the rule of law, which is increasingly deterring foreign direct investment.

Damien Blotzke on Martial Arts as a Life Pivot, Competition, and Self-Mastery Host Pete Deeley opens by promoting the Momentum Martial Arts competition team, joking about "submission coffee" as a performance enhancer, and announcing the ad-free My Jiu-Jitsu Journey app with a small monthly fee. He then interviews fighter Damien Blotzke, who says martial arts shaped his identity and gave him tools for learning, problem-solving, listening, and self-control. Blotzke describes being adopted by his brother Darian and moving to Nevada on short notice as a pivotal fork in the road that placed him in a strong learning environment and allowed him to pursue fighting. He cites Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings and discusses competition as mental, spiritual, and physical, emphasizing breathwork to quiet his inner critic and fight camp as preparation. He recounts memorable bouts, including his first amateur loss at 16, later success, and a five-round fight where he dominated. Deeley shares his own early competition experience and they discuss Momentum's supportive culture. Blotzke suggests the superhero name "Spike Elbow" and shares social links: dthekidmma and Momentum Martial Arts. 00:00 Welcome and Sponsors 01:24 Meet Damien Blotzke 02:18 Adoption and New Start 07:34 When Martial Arts Clicked 10:49 Musashi and Life Lessons 13:08 Competition and Inner Voice 16:56 Most Memorable Fights 20:17 Host Competition Story 24:21 Momentum Community Impact 27:43 Spike Elbow Superhero 28:52 Where to Follow Damien 29:26 Final Thanks and Wrap Up

Ryan Bloom grew up in a good family in Oklahoma with dreams of becoming a dentist. Life took a different turn and he built an electrical contracting business instead. When the business lost a major contract he turned to a small bank for help — and got pulled into a high interest invoice lending situation that ultimately left him owing over $2 million and forced to declare bankruptcy. Ryan thought everything he was doing was completely legitimate. Then the feds came for him. He was indicted for bank fraud — and discovered the prosecutor had a conflict of interest with the bank. He fought back. He spent almost $500,000 in attorney fees. And he beat the federal government. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ryan breaks down the complete story — from the business collapse to the bankruptcy to the federal indictment to the courtroom victory that cost him everything financially but gave him his freedom. _____________________________________________ #fraud #TrueCrime #arrest _____________________________________________ Connect with Ryan Bloom: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdbloom _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Early Life 01:52 Family Background and Childhood 03:23 College Dreams and Choosing a Career 04:44 Joining and Growing the Family Business 05:46 Family Infighting and Company's Downfall 06:34 New Start in Oil & Gas, Launching Own Business 07:46 Launching Pathfinder HDD and Business Pivot 08:22 Business Growth and Early Successes 09:14 Winning Big Contracts and Facing Setbacks 10:19 Losing Major Contracts and Transitioning to EV 11:16 Cash Flow Issues and Getting Hustled 13:06 Switching to Riskier Clients & Financial Mistakes 14:55 Survival Strategies and Bank Loans 16:46 Entering the Bank's Business Manager Program 19:09 Struggling with Loan Terms and Shrinking Cash Flow 23:32 Business Hits a Wall and Approaching Insolvency 26:00 Personal Consequences & Potential Bankruptcy 28:29 Winding Down Operations and Filing Bankruptcy 31:06 Bankruptcy Process and Asset Liquidation 35:51 Personal Impact and Family Resilience 39:03 Navigating Bankruptcy Exemptions 41:02 Life After Bankruptcy: Rebuilding 44:41 Facing Litigation and Bank's Aggressive Tactics 46:58 Legal Uncertainty and Approaching Discharge 50:02 Arrest by FBI and Shock of Indictment 54:41 Processing the Arrest and Immediate Aftermath 59:30 Public Reaction and Family Support 01:02:44 Beginning the Legal Battle 01:05:12 Prosecution's Case Building and Strange Accusations 01:10:01 Defending Against Fraud Allegations 01:17:01 Legal Strategy and Conflict of Interest 01:21:59 Superseding Indictment and Witness Tampering 01:27:53 Bank's Insurance Claim and Motivations for Prosecution 01:32:00 Preparing for Trial and Hiring Top Defense 01:39:13 Conflict of Interest, Disqualifying the Prosecutor 01:46:07 Case Dismissal and Pre-Trial Diversion 01:50:01 Financial Ruin and Emotional Toll 01:53:02 Life Lessons, Resilience, and Moving On 02:03:40 Advice on Integrity and Closing Thoughts _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Marquess grew up inside a reality most people only glimpse in headlines. Raised by a meth cook and heroin addict, his childhood was less about homework and more about survival. By eighth grade, violence had already entered the story. By his teens, he was moving through a world of escorts, hustles, and whatever could be stolen, stripped, and sold. PCP showed up early. Heroin followed. At one point, he even called his own mother to learn how to shoot it.The crash was inevitable. Jail forced a brutal detox and a confrontation with everything he had been outrunning. What came next was not a clean, cinematic turnaround but something more interesting. He started rebuilding from a place he had abandoned long ago: his childhood creativity.Dave tapped back into his artistic instincts and turned them into something functional, designing a game specifically for people in recovery. Not as a gimmick, but as a tool. A way to engage addicts in their own healing using strategy, storytelling, and choice. The same mind that once engineered survival in the streets now builds systems for growth.This conversation moves through trauma, accountability, and the strange alchemy of turning pain into purpose. It is about what happens when someone stops trying to escape their story and instead rewrites the rules of the game entirely.Check out Dave's games hereConnect with Dave on InstagramDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

Hey Heal Squad! Today is one of those conversations where the sun is finally going to make a lot of sense. We're sitting down with Dr. Roger Seheult, a quadruple board-certified physician and the co-founder of MedCram, a platform that's helped millions understand complex medical topics in such an easy way. And that's exactly what happens in this episode! Dr. Seheult explains why our bodies are designed to run on light cues, how modern life is disrupting our natural circadian rhythm, and why so many of us are struggling with sleep… but more importantly, what we can actually do about it.We talk about simple shifts like getting morning sunlight as soon as you wake up, dimming lights and limiting screens at night, and creating a real wind-down routine so your body knows it's safe to sleep. He shares how even small changes (like stepping outside during the day or reducing bright light after sunset) can start to reset your rhythm almost immediately. He also introduces something the Heal Squad has never heard before: the NEWSTART philosophy. These are 8 simple rules for health ...Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust…that you can start layering into your life one by one. And yes… we even go deeper into why spirituality, trust, and letting go can actually impact your physical health more than you think. Get ready for a lot of aha moments, Heal Squad…we're so excited for you to hear this one. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS NEWSTART is your health blueprint: Real healing isn't complicated, it's foundational. Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust all work together to strengthen the body. Sunlight is not optional, it's essential: It's not just about vitamin D. Sunlight is a full-spectrum signal that tells your body how to function, impacting your energy, mood, immune system, and even long-term disease risk. Sleep is when your body does the real work: Your body repairs, detoxifies, and resets while you sleep, but only if your circadian rhythm is aligned. The right light during the day and less light at night is what makes deep, restorative sleep possible.
