Giving Tuesday has become a global moment to celebrate generosity. But for believers, it can be much more than a once-a-year opportunity to give. It can become a catalyst to cultivate a lifestyle of intentional, joy-filled stewardship all year long.Today, we explore how to give with both heart and wisdom—so that our generosity reflects God's purposes, not merely the moment. Joining the conversation is Al Mueller, founder and CEO of Excellence in Giving and former executive with Morgan Stanley and UBS.Beyond the Moment: What Giving Tuesday Really RepresentsFor Al Mueller, Giving Tuesday is more than a charitable trend—it's an invitation.“Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to begin acting on generosity,” he says, “but it's also a moment to pause and align with God's purposes.” Al reminds us of Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.”In other words, generosity is more than an impulse. It is an act of worship. Giving Tuesday can be a spark, but intentional stewardship is the flame that keeps burning throughout the year.Al summarizes biblical giving with a simple idea: “God gave us both a head and a heart—He didn't say pick one.”Wise stewardship holds both together:The heart expresses compassion, joy, and worship.The head evaluates impact, effectiveness, and alignment with God's purposes.Stewardship looks at the Kingdom outcomes we long to see and asks how we can best contribute to them. Some giving is planned, some spontaneous—but all of it can be intentional.Helping Donors Give With ExcellenceAt Excellence in Giving, Al and his team equip high-capacity givers—often those giving $1 million or more annually—to make well-informed, impactful decisions. They offer research, due diligence, and accountability that help donors shift from reactive to proactive giving.But these principles, Al emphasizes, are not reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Everyone can do their own homework,” he says. “Everyone can ask good questions. Everyone can give intentionally.”Whether you're giving $50 or $50,000, evaluating ministries wisely matters. Al recommends starting with three core questions:What problem is the ministry trying to solve?What do they believe is the root cause of that problem?What measurable results have they seen?Healthy ministries provide clear reporting, measurable outcomes, and transparent leadership. They welcome questions and view accountability as part of discipleship.Key indicators to review include:Leadership stabilityDonor and staff retentionClear communicationTransparent financial practicesEvidence of life changeStrong ministries don't hide their results—they celebrate them.Red Flags: When to Think TwiceJust as there are markers of strong ministries, there are warning signs that should prompt caution:Vague vision without a clear planEmotional pressure or over-spiritualizing resultsLack of reporting or unwillingness to share outcomesOver-dependence on a single donorRepeated urgent appeals for fundsAl calls vague visions “ministry hallucinations”—dreams without blueprints. Just as you wouldn't build a house without plans, you shouldn't fund ministry without clarity.A Growing Trend: Collaborative GivingOne of the most exciting developments in philanthropy today is collaborative giving—donors pooling resources to make a larger, more strategic impact.Pooling resources:Helps ministries secure larger grantsReduces duplicationSaves ministries' valuable timeStrengthens unity within the body of Christ“This model lets donors and ministries accomplish something bigger together,” Al explains.No donor wants to micromanage, and no ministry seeks to be controlled. But accountability doesn't mean control—it means clarity.Al puts it this way: “Accountability is information given, not control taken.”Trust grows when ministries offer clear plans, measurable results, and honest reporting—what Al calls “a form of blessing” to donors.The Next Generation of GiversYounger donors give differently than their parents do. They are:More global in perspectiveMore results-orientedMore experiential—they want site visits and direct engagementMotivated by conviction rather than obligationPassionate about transparency and impactAl believes this next generation will reshape Christian generosity—mainly as significant wealth transfers occur in the coming decades.Al concludes with a powerful insight: there is a meaningful difference between being generous and being a steward.In the first century, a steward managed the household, finances, and fields on behalf of the master. The steward's job was simple: to know the heart of the master and act accordingly.Stewardship today means:Recognizing God owns it allSeeking His desires for His resourcesGiving with discernmentAiming to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Generosity is beautiful—but stewardship is a calling.Growing in Intentional GenerosityWhether you're giving on Giving Tuesday or cultivating lifelong generosity, the call is the same: give with joy, wisdom, and purpose.If you want to explore tools to help you give more strategically, you can learn more at ExcellenceInGiving.com.

When these three pillars align, outcomes improve and trust increases across populations.Telehealth is not a compromise; it's often the safest, most accessible option. For many people, digital care is the only environment where they feel safe, respected, and willing to seek support.AI can either transform healthcare or exacerbate and dangerously amplify inequality. Without careful oversight and representative data, large language models can reinforce harmful misinformation.Affirming care is a clinical and financial necessity, not a niche service. Avoiding preventive care can lead to dangerous delays and significantly higher system costs.Demographic shifts make inclusive care a strategic imperative. With a quarter of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQIA+, employers and payers who invest early will capture long-term loyalty and economic value.Resources:Connect with and follow Liana Guzmán on LinkedIn.Follow FOLX Health on LinkedIn and Instagram, and visit their website.
AI is helping doctors treat patients in American hospitals. But many new doctors say they haven't been trained in how to use it. Now, Stanford University is mandating AI training for all its medical students.

As Israel's conquest of the land concludes in Joshua 11–12, God calls His people to remember His victories, obey His commands, and never forget the source of their blessings. Pastor Matthew used the closing of Joshua's battles to challenge believers to stay humble, thankful, and faithful — not just at Thanksgiving, but every day of life. Opening and Thanksgiving Reflection Pastor began with a prayer of gratitude, urging believers to reflect on the blessings of life and freedom. “May we not get complacent or presumptuous — all we have is today, and that day is a gift from God.” He reminded the congregation that none of us are promised tomorrow, and that gratitude should guard our hearts from pride and forgetfulness. Joshua's Obedience and God's Commands (Joshua 11:12–23) Joshua followed exactly what God commanded Moses, leaving “nothing undone of all the Lord had commanded.” Pastor emphasized that faithfulness means following God's Word, not reinventing it. “You don't get to become a Christian and play by your own rules — God doesn't need your ideas.” Many want to hear God's voice but won't read His Word; yet Scripture itself is the contract between Christ the Groom and His Bride, the Church. Application: God reveals Himself through His Word. If you want direction, open the Book before asking for new revelation. God's Sovereignty and Human Accountability Pastor addressed the difficult truth of divine judgment: God hardened the hearts of nations that continually rejected Him. He compared this to Pharaoh's hardened heart — a consequence of repeated rebellion. “The most fearful verse in the Bible is not in Revelation — it's where it says, ‘The Spirit of the Lord left Samson, and he knew it not.'” The warning: don't resist God so long that conviction disappears. The most terrifying state is when the Holy Spirit withdraws and a person no longer feels remorse. Lesson: “Conviction is a gift — if you can sin without feeling it, something's wrong.” The Nature of Sin and Boundaries of Love Pastor explained that God sets boundaries because He loves us, just as parents set boundaries for their children. From the Garden of Eden onward, sin began when man doubted God's goodness and believed He was holding out on them. “The devil convinced Eve that God was keeping her from something better — that's the same lie today.” Every sin still begins with mistrust of God's intentions. Remembering God's Victories (Joshua 12) God listed all 31 kings Israel defeated — not to glorify Joshua, but to remind the people of every battle God had already won. “When you're in a new fight, remember how many victories God has already given you.” Pastor urged believers to stop panicking in new trials: “You've already watched God feed you, heal you, and deliver you. Don't fall apart now — the same God is still fighting for you.” Forgetting past victories leads to unbelief, which Scripture calls evil, not immaturity. Deuteronomy 8 — The Call to Remember Pastor turned to Deuteronomy 8 to explain why God told Israel to remember: God humbled them in the wilderness to test their hearts, provide manna, and teach them dependence on His Word. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.” Their clothes never wore out; their feet never swelled — a sign of constant divine provision. He connected this to modern blessings: “No nation has been as blessed as Israel — except America. But we're in danger of forgetting who made it that way.” The Danger of Forgetfulness and Prosperity When life gets comfortable — full houses, steady income, security — people forget God. He quoted Habakkuk, rebuking Israel for caring for their own houses while neglecting God's. “You'll live better on 90% honoring God than 100% stealing from Him.” Forgetting God leads to pride, and pride leads to destruction. Key Reminder: “When you're full, don't forget who filled your table.” God's Discipline and the Training of Faith Pastor compared spiritual growth to training in a weight room — hardships strengthen believers for future battles. “God's taking you into His gym to build your endurance. He's preparing you for the fourth quarter.” Trials are not punishments but preparation, teaching us dependence and perseverance. The Next Generation and God's Trustworthiness Parents cannot shield children from every hardship. “You can't fight all their battles — God's using those struggles to build them.” He warned against over-sheltering and fear-driven parenting: “Trust God's plan for your children. He's a better protector than you.” Like Jochebed with Moses, sometimes faith means letting go and trusting God's purpose. The Source of Blessing and True Prosperity God alone gives the power to get wealth — to establish His covenant, not to glorify ourselves. “If God doesn't open the door, you won't get anything done. It's His power that gives you ability.” Pastor cautioned against idolatry of money, possessions, or success — anything that displaces God's primacy. Final Exhortation — Do Not Forget the Lord Forgetfulness leads to destruction: “If you forget the Lord and follow other gods, you shall surely perish.” False gods are powerless — Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius remain in the grave, but Jesus is risen. “Until someone else rises from the dead, I'm sticking with the One who did.” The graves will one day burst open as the final testimony of Christ's power, proving again that He is who He says He is. Closing Challenge and Prayer Stop running your own life; it only leads to exhaustion and emptiness. Surrender daily and thank God for every battle already won. “When the next battle comes, don't tell God how big your problem is — tell your problem how big your God is.” The service ended with the Lord's Prayer, sealing the message in gratitude and worship. Core Message Remember what God has already done. Obey His Word — partial obedience is disobedience. Be thankful in every season. Don't forget the Lord who gives life, strength, and blessing. Trust God with your future, your children, and your battles — He never fails.

This week on Bitcoin Policy Hour, Zack Cohen, Zack Shapiro, and Ken Egan break down a change in U.S. financial policy: the Bitcoin for America Act, a bill that could allow Americans to pay taxes in bitcoin and fund a strategic national bitcoin reserve. We also explore Middle East Bitcoin adoption, why Harvard's endowment just made BTC its largest equity position, and the economic crisis facing young Americans — with new research showing it may take $140,000 a year just to survive in 2024.

In this episode The Remarkable Retail Podcast's co-host Michael LeBlanc's guest is with Lauren Price, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing for COS North America discussing her impressive career trajectory and work positioning the H&M-owned brand for growth in a competitive, fast-moving fashion retail landscape.Lauren's career began in the early days of luxury e-commerce at Createthe Group, building first-generation online stores for high-end brands . Her path included consulting with Demandware and L2 (Scott Galloway's firm), leading to her first in-house brand role at J.Crew before joining COS—a globally recognized fashion brand known for exceptional quality, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.At COS, Lauren oversees North American marketing and digital commerce, a key growth market. She explains how COS benefits from the resources of a global parent company while operating with the agility of a smaller regional business. This unique position allows for strategic experimentation while maintaining the brand's commitment to premium quality.A highlight from the conversation is COS's viral marketing moment: a $45 T-shirt compared on TikTok to a $15 Uniqlo tee, with the influencer praising COS's superior quality and construction. This sparked organic buzz and significant new customer acquisition, prompting Lauren's team to launch a targeted influencer gifting campaign. The lesson: seize authentic, organic momentum quickly and amplify it with campaigns that focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and product education—especially to win over savvy Gen Z shoppers.Lauren also tackles the emerging challenge of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), advising brands to prepare product catalogs for AI-driven search while maintaining current SEO performance. She predicts AI search adoption will accelerate faster than previous digital shifts, urging retailers to run both short-term and long-term optimization in parallel.As the discussion turns to holiday planning, Lauren offers several pieces of practical, results-focused advice.

What happens when fans learn their beloved Star Trek is returning, but not the way they expect? This week on The Trek Files, we take a mid-season dive into the pre-internet letter-writing era of fandom with a look at Interstat #109, a Star Trek "LOC-zine" published just after the announcement of The Next Generation in late 1986. With Mission Log host and producer John Champion joining Larry, we revisit that first wave of passionate, skeptical, and sometimes prophetic reactions from fans adjusting to the idea of Star Trek without Kirk, Spock, or the original cast. From fears about recasting to early excitement about a new crew, these letters reveal a fandom both resistant to change and deeply hopeful for Trek's future. And while the tone may be more thoughtful than today's drive-by social media culture, the underlying emotions haven't changed. Together, John and Larry reflect on how fandom evolves, why backlash often masks deep investment, and how publications like Interstat helped shape the Trek we know today—slowly, one stamp at a time.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1284 Artificial Intelligence and the War for the Human Soul Former CIA Operations Officer and combat veteran Adam Hardage spent years running covert influence operations across the Middle East and Europe, mastering the dark art of bending minds without firing a shot. Now he reveals the terrifying truth: the same psychological warfare playbook once aimed at foreign adversaries has been turned inward—on us. Through artificial intelligence, Big Tech, and a hidden intelligence apparatus, a silent battle is being waged for your thoughts, your children's future, and humanity's soul. Tonight, Hardage exposes the architecture of control and shows how faith and fierce parenting can still win the war. GUEST: Adam Hardage is a former CIA Operations Officer, combat veteran, and fluent Arabic speaker who executed covert missions across the Middle East and Europe. Trained in the black arts of psychological warfare and influence operations, he watched nations and cultures bend under invisible pressure. Today he warns that those same tools—now supercharged by artificial intelligence—are being deployed domestically to reprogram consciousness itself. Author of the explosive new book The Alpha Blueprint: Preparing the Next Generation for an A.I. Future, Adam is a patriot, a man of deep Christian faith, and an urgent voice calling families to raise warriors, not dependents, in the ultimate battle for the human soul.

Christin Fejervary serves at the National Christian Foundation, where she helps understand generous Christians and the patterns shaping their stewardship. Coming from a background in research before joining NCF, Christin has helped execute numerous large studies which have helped shape the current understanding of Christian givers. This past year, Christin helped lead NCF in some of the most comprehensive research on millennial Christians through the NextGen Stewardship Study, a comprehensive study focused on how young Christians, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, approach wealth and generosity. Christin explains the enormity of the Great Wealth Transfer, projected at $124 trillion to be passed on to these generations by 2048, and the need to understand their unique characteristics and motivations. Her work highlights how agency, shared family values, and hands-on involvement are shaping this rising generation, as well as the unique opportunities emerging as women inherit a growing share of global wealth. She also describes the practical ways families can cultivate unity through generosity and why younger Christians are eager to bring their whole lives, not just their finances, into God's work. Whether you are a next generation giver or are navigating how to enable the next generation yourself, you'll find this episode packed with insight. Major Topics Include: How agency shapes stewardship and spiritual growth Differences between wealth creators, inheritors, and hybrids Generational contrasts in trust, involvement, and giving patterns The rising influence and needs of next-gen women Family unity formed through shared passions and giving Tips for preparing for the Great Wealth Transfer wisely Practicing stewardship through small, hands-on decisions Unlocking whole-life generosity beyond liquid assets Advice for organizations who are trying to engage multiple generations God's invitation to women in stewardship QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I was learning how to pursue a relationship with Jesus in the everyday. It wasn't just about going to church on Sundays. It was really about bringing Jesus into every part of my life.” “In my 20s, when I started to understand this relationship with Jesus, it was something where I could actually have conversations with Jesus and ask for help.” “God just showed up. He provided so much in those early years when we didn't feel like we had much money.” “Faith is the guiding principle in stewarding wealth for all generations.” “The attribute that was most correlated to positivity about wealth was seeing it as responsibility, that it's about God's work in the world and joining God's work in the world.” “Taking action helps your faith. It helps you grow closer to your family. It helps you grow closer to your purpose.” “Women at large and the cohort of next-gen women are more likely to be collaborative, they're more likely to do giving circles, and they're looking for a journey more than a transaction.” “Women and mothers are the biggest influences of generosity in the home.” “Women, especially women inheritors, struggle to find their voice. They don't feel like they have a voice at the table of wealth transfer and those conversations.” “Younger generations want to see the data. They want to see the impact and the numbers. They want to get personally involved because they feel they can make the difference.” “We're seeing more and more people give from the ninety percent of their wealth, not just the ten percent they hold in liquid assets.” “I think God is showing up in tangible ways and urging people to give from all of their wealth and not just their liquid assets.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW National Christian Foundation (see our interview with President Emeritus, David Wills) The NCF Next Gen Stewardship Study Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well (see our past interview here) Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Impact Foundation (see our interview with Founder, Aimee Minnich) The Millennial Impact Report Lilly Family School of Philanthropy – Lake Institute on Faith & Giving The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Luke 21:1–4 | The Widow's Offering Luke 8:1–3 | Women Supporting Jesus's Ministry WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

The Rock Church - Weekend Messages w/ Pastor Miles McPherson (Audio)
Pastor Miles challenges us to think about the legacy we're building and how our choices shape the next generation. He reminds us that God's principle of sowing and reaping is always at work—what we plant in faith, obedience, and love will return to us in greater measure. Even when the harvest feels delayed, God promises a due season for those who don't give up. This message will stir your heart to sow intentionally, love sacrificially, and invest spiritually in the people coming behind you. If you're ready to discover how your daily choices can impact generations, this sermon is for you.
In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon unpacks Psalm 78:1–8 and shows why every generation plays a crucial role in passing on faith to the next. We dive into why younger generations are often misunderstood, how spiritual apathy creeps into our lives, and what we can do to model a faith worth following.You'll hear real stories of what God is doing through Gen Z and Gen Alpha, the impact of FCA and Hope City Youth, and an interview with Pastor Meagan about raising faith-filled kids.No matter your age or stage, YOU have influence—and the next generation needs it. Let's be a church that fights apathy, builds legacy, and chooses to be FOR the Next Generation.
