Ten Baltic and Scandinavian (and the UK) have agreed to come together to form a multi-national maritime force for crisis response around Northern Europe, specifically on the maritime border with Russia. All parties are NATO members, and members of the Joint Expeditionary Force – itself a NATO framework organisation. Ed Arnold from the D Group explains why this is about operationalising the JEF when the politics of it is wandering. But the credibility of the UK is being pressed hard when command commitments are growing, diverse, geographically spread, and rely on too few qualified and experienced people. Why should the UK command? Why should others follow? Why is Northwood the right place? And, how will the UK balance the long-standing habit of using US C2 systems with an announcement that declares an intent to command on whatever system European Allies favour? Ed Arnold answers all these questions and queries. Underlying the discussion sits some uncomfortable concerns about UK command credibility, the need for continued momentum if the Northern Navies Initiative is to survive, and the desperate need for some form of political prioritisation of tasks from London.

Pastor Harald continues in Matthew 21 explaining God's will for us through prayer and scripture.

On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz take a trip to 1800's New Hampshire as they talk about potential serial killer Franklin B. Evans. In 1872, Franklin murdered his 13-year-old grand-niece in Northwood, New Hampshire by luring her into the woods on the guise of helping him check snare traps. When Franklin led investigators to her body, she was found strangled and badly mutilated with some of her organs missing. After a short trial found him guilty of her murder, Franklin began to be connected to a handful of other murders that occurred around New England. Tune in to hear the details of the odd and eccentric man who always seemed to be at the scene of the crime. 

Pastor Harald shares the believer's calling as a citizen of heaven.

If you get into a scrape involving local government in North Dakota -- say a garbage truck side swipes your car, or you get hurt on park district property -- the organization you'd likely seek relief through is the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund. This is an entity created by local governments, and funded by local tax dollars, which acts essentially like an insurance company. But the organization has come under fire, with critics saying NDIRF can be ruthless when it comes to claims filed by the public, even as the organization passes along millions in conferments to its members. On this episode of Plain Talk, NDIRF CEO Keith Pic said the organization serves North Dakota by keeping costs down for local governments. "I think the important part here is that the coverages that we provide are unique to North Dakota," he said. "We can be responsive to North Dakota. We don't have the entire United States impacting the rates that would be charged for the risk that our political subdivisions have." I recently wrote an article critical of NDIRF over the organization's handling of the Northwood school bus crash, where dozens of students were injured. That happened back in 2023, but the litigation around it is still lingering, with some families and legal representatives blaming NDIRF for bogging the process down. "The easy thing for NDIRF in that situation would have been to just pay the $300,000 and just be done with it," Pic said, referring to the underinsured motorist coverage for the school district that is at issue. "But I think there would have been some major inequities that would happen or would have happened from that global settlement if we had participated in it. And here you had kids that were still treating well into 2025. Well, we don't know the extent of those injuries in 2024 when that global mediation happened." Pic also argued that the millions in conferments the organization has made back to local governments have nothing to do with claims decisions. "There's no thought as to how is this going to affect our financials. Our claims adjusters are very much examining, what is the legal liability? What's a legal standard as to what can make up this claim and is it an allowable claim to be paid?" he said. "Ultimately, the claims decisions are made afterwards after the year's over. We have an actuarial analysis that's completed to make sure that our our liabilities are set. So I think it's a misconception that there's this incentive uh to make that happen." Pic says he's an "open book" for critics. "I'm certainly hopeful that I can help resolve some of the issues that have come up. Every day is a day of improvement, little by little, and hopefully we can regain the public trust in what we do." Also on this episode, we talk about political troll Brandon Prichard directing inquiries about his organizations campaign finance disclosures to Saul Goodman, and the reality of North Dakota's three political parties.

Pastor Harald continues the Matthew series on to whom should we listen to from Matthew 17: 1-9.

Pastor Harald teaches about the important decision we need to make.

In season 2 of COLD, one of our bonus episodes touched on a cult called The Zion Society. Now, there's a new podcast available that goes deeper on the story, with survivors of the cult. COLD host Dave Cawley asked Aaron Mason, host of Gardens of Evil from the Gamut Podcast Network, to share the first episode of this new show with us. Here's how Aaron describes episode 1: A young couple moves into the Northwood sub-division. The yards are impeccably landscaped, and a group of neighbors soon become like family. But not everything is as it seems… Years later, Erin, a 23-year-old woman walks into the county attorney’s office and makes an astonishing confession: She’s part of a cult and would like to report abuse. Find the rest of Gardens of Evil: Inside the Zion Society Cult wherever you listen to podcasts.

The media descends on Northwood. The Zion Society children are interviewed, but many refuse to cooperate. Mike King gets a surprise call from Cedar City. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pastor Harold Bjerga talks from Matthew 13 about being a citizen of heaven.

Seventy Ogden police officers gather in the dark and move into Northwood at dawn, hitting multiple Zion Society homes at the exact same moment. The plan is simple on paper and terrifying in practice: secure the children, secure the evidence, and arrest the “head of the snake.” Inside the spotless houses and perfectly manicured yards, investigators find signs of a militant system built on control—hidden portals, stockpiles, meticulously organized drawers of lingerie, and evidence meant to corroborate witness accounts of sexual exploitation.Social workers rush the children into protective custody, but the emotional reality is more complicated than the outside world expects: some of the kids don't experience the raid as a rescue at all. And just as the case seems to crack open, one urgent question threatens everything that comes next—where is Arvin Shreeve?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jason continues the Matthew series about not letting religion take away from God's mercy.

In this episode, Tommy and Trey talk about what makes the Northwood Family of Churches unique.

Jeff Peterson has spent years trying to pull his kids out of the Zion Society - until the cult's hunger for money creates an opening. When his ex-wife Carla asks for help selling the group's lingerie line, “Sweet Things,” Jeff hires a private investigator to pose as a Las Vegas buyer and go undercover inside Northwood.What she captures on camera changes everything. But there's a catch: Jeff's custody deal comes with a vow of silence - until Detective Mike King's investigation collides with Jeff's case, freeing him to talk. With corroboration in hand and the clock ticking, Mike prepares to raid the quiet neighborhood at dawn.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Pastor Harald Bjerga talks about living out His lifestyle - His Rhythm and practices of life for His purposes. "DON'T YANK AGAINST THE YOKE." Walk with Jesus and He'll carry the weight.

This holiday season is one filled with contradictions for retail real estate. Consumer confidence has plummeted, but their spending is at all-time highs. Leasing is bustling and vacancy is tight, but store closures are outpacing openings.On this episode, Northwood Retail President Ward Kampf joins the show to unpack the uncertainty surrounding the asset class, which has also been deeply impact by tariffs, artificial intelligence and vast changes in behavior between generations.“Young kids today, they eat different and don't drink as much as we did when we were young,” he said on the show. “They are much healthier than we were. We ate whatever we wanted and drank a lot.”Kampf also discusses what is expected to be a bumpy 2026, predicting even more closures, potential drugstore bankruptcy and backlash to $20 salads and burritos.“The key word going forward, doesn't matter your political slant, right or left, is affordability,” he said. “People are really conscious of that.”
