In Day 191 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that while human beings are given dominion over creation, that authority carries responsibility. Animals were created to serve mankind—not because they are unimportant, but because humanity possesses something infinitely greater: an eternal soul. We are commanded to treat animals with compassion and even feed them before ourselves, yet our unique role is to elevate creation through our relationship with Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes the extraordinary greatness of the neshamah. Before birth, the soul exists in a realm of perfect spiritual clarity, but at birth it becomes enclosed within a physical body. The crying of a newborn symbolizes the soul's transition from unlimited closeness to Hashem into a world of confusion and physical limitations. Throughout life, the soul longs to return to that closeness, while the body constantly seeks physical gratification. Our task is to allow the soul—not the body—to direct our choices.Using the metaphor of a rider and a horse, Rabbi Wolbe teaches that the neshamah must hold the reins while the body serves merely as its vehicle. The body is necessary to perform mitzvot and acts of kindness, but it must remain subordinate to the soul's higher purpose. When the soul guides the body, every physical action becomes elevated into something eternal.The lesson also explores why Judaism teaches the future resurrection of the dead. Both the soul and the body contribute to a life of righteousness: the soul inspires holiness, while the body performs the mitzvot. Therefore, both ultimately share in the eternal reward when they are reunited in the World to Come.Finally, Rabbi Wolbe explains that the vast universe—the sun, moon, stars, and all of creation—exists not for the temporary body but for the eternal soul. Every aspect of creation is designed to inspire us to recognize Hashem's greatness and draw closer to Him. The purpose of enjoying this world is not indulgence but elevation: to use every blessing Hashem gives us as a means of strengthening our relationship with Him._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 14, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Dr. Daniel Chong has spent years helping patients understand their true cardiovascular risk and take meaningful action to prevent heart attacks and strokes.In this episode, Rip and Dr. Chong dig into the confusing, often polarizing world of cholesterol and heart disease. Is LDL cholesterol really important? How low should it go? Is ApoB a better marker? What about calcium scores, lipoprotein(a), statins, saturated fat, and the growing noise around keto and carnivore diets?Dr. Chong offers a grounded, practical, and highly nuanced perspective. He explains why standard LDL cholesterol is only part of the picture, why ApoB and LDL particle number may provide a clearer view of risk, and why cardiovascular disease is never about one single factor. Instead, it is about the full internal environment: inflammation, endothelial function, blood flow, plaque stability, lifestyle, and diet.Rip and Dr. Chong also explore the limits of coronary artery calcium scores, the risks of relying on a “zero” score too early in life, and why soft plaque can still pose a serious threat even when calcified plaque is not detected.They also discuss saturated fat, heme iron, blood viscosity, hydration, testosterone therapy's potential effect on red blood cell count, and the fascinating protective layer inside our blood vessels known as the glycocalyx.This conversation is a reminder that cardiovascular prevention is about building a body that supports vitality from the inside out.You'll Learn:LDL cholesterol matters, but ApoB and LDL particle number may offer a more precise picture of cardiovascular risk.The longer LDL particles remain elevated, the greater the potential risk over time.Saturated fat can interfere with the body's ability to clear LDL particles from the bloodstream.Coronary artery calcium scores can be useful, but they do not detect soft, non-calcified plaque.A calcium score of zero does not always mean “clean arteries,” especially in younger people.Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is an important marker to test at least once.Dr. Chong recommends looking at a broader cardiovascular panel, including lipids, ApoB, Lp(a), A1C, and hs-CRP.Heme iron from red meat is absorbed differently than non-heme iron from plants and may contribute to oxidative stress when elevated.Blood viscosity — or how “thick” your blood is — can influence endothelial function and plaque formation.Hydration, plant foods, and, in some cases, blood donation may help support healthier blood viscosity.The glycocalyx is a delicate, hair-like protective layer that supports endothelial function.A whole food, plant-based lifestyle remains one of the most powerful foundations for vascular health.Learn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrongevents.com/ Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyLearn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrong.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotifyWatch on YouTubeEpisode Webpage

God is a jealous God, and His covenant love is revealed through one of the Bible's most misunderstood passages—the law of jealousy. Our relationship with Jesus mirrors the covenant of marriage, where He is the faithful Husband, and we are His beloved bride.In episode 10 of "Jesus – Our Hero Husband", Duane Sheriff uncovers the biblical meaning of the law of jealousy found in Numbers 5 and reveals how this mysterious Old Testament law points directly to Christ and His Church. The test of a wife's faithfulness through a bitter cup becomes a powerful picture of the trials and sufferings believers face today. Rather than random hardships, these "bitter cups" reveal and strengthen our loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion to Christ.Discover why God is called a jealous God, how friendship with the world threatens our covenant relationship with Him, and why keeping Jesus as our first love causes every other relationship to flourish. Transform how you view suffering, faithfulness, and God's unwavering commitment.

In Day 190 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the three dimensions of the human soul: the nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. While animals possess the drives of the nefesh and ruach, only human beings are endowed with the neshamah—the uniquely Divine intellect that enables us to discern truth from falsehood, develop wisdom, and elevate ourselves spiritually. Unlike the physical body, the wisdom acquired by the neshamah accompanies a person beyond this world.The central message of the lesson is that our lives are shaped by whichever part of ourselves we choose to nourish. Rabbi Wolbe compares the neshamah to a vacuum cleaner that is constantly searching to be filled. If we fail to satisfy it with holiness, Torah, mitzvot, and acts of kindness, it will desperately seek fulfillment elsewhere through material pursuits that can never truly satisfy. Wealth, pleasure, fame, and possessions may entertain the body, but only closeness to Hashem nourishes the soul.Rabbi Wolbe also explains that although the neshamah originates in the intellect, its goal is to transform the heart. The heart is the source of both positive and negative inclinations, and every person chooses which side to strengthen. By allowing the mind and the neshamah to guide the heart, a person redirects powerful emotions and desires toward holiness rather than selfish gratification. The same passion that can drive destructive behavior can also become the engine for tremendous righteousness.Finally, the lesson teaches that wisdom is the key to understanding both the physical and spiritual worlds. Torah enables a person to distinguish between what merely appears attractive and what genuinely brings eternal value. Every advancement, talent, and technology can be used either for holiness or for destruction. The responsibility lies with us to allow our neshamah to lead our choices so that, when we ultimately stand before Hashem, we can answer that we invested our lives in what truly mattered._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles Guest(s): Ken Roberts and Tatiana Panzardi Published: August 13, 2026 Length: ~35 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary The latest U.S. trade numbers are in—and they reveal an economy being reshaped by artificial intelligence, tariffs, changing supply chains, and new patterns in global commerce. In this quarterly trade update, Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome back trade-data expert Ken Roberts, joined by Tatiana Panzardi of WorldCity, to unpack U.S. Census Bureau trade data through the first six months of 2026. The numbers tell a fascinating story. U.S. trade is up, Mexico is firmly positioned as the nation's leading trading partner, and Port Laredo has returned to the top among U.S. trade gateways by value. But perhaps the biggest shift is happening in technology: computer imports have surged as companies pour billions into AI infrastructure and data centers, changing rankings that were historically dominated by oil and automobiles. At the same time, passenger-vehicle imports and exports are feeling the effects of tariffs and changing automotive policy. Beyond the statistics, this episode asks the question that matters to trade professionals and business leaders: What do these numbers mean for your sourcing, markets, contracts, and growth strategy? Main Topic / Discussion U.S. trade is undergoing a structural shift. Ken and Tatiana walk through the latest trade data and explain how AI investment, tariffs, energy, automotive trade, and supply-chain realignment are changing which commodities, countries, and ports dominate U.S. commerce. One of the clearest signals is the extraordinary growth in computer imports. Through the first six months of 2026, the episode reports computer imports at approximately $194.4 billion, compared with roughly $101.4 billion during the same period in 2025. Much of that growth is tied to servers and infrastructure supporting AI data centers. Meanwhile, Mexico remains central to U.S. trade, while Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, and other Asian economies are becoming increasingly important within changing global supply chains. The automotive story looks different. Passenger-vehicle imports have declined amid tariffs, while exports to several major markets have also weakened. The discussion explores what that means for specialized automotive ports and for companies navigating higher costs and shifting demand. Ultimately, the hosts bring the data back to business strategy: understanding trade trends can help companies identify new export markets, rethink sourcing, anticipate supply-chain changes, and spot opportunities before competitors do. Key Takeaways • AI is rewriting the U.S. import rankings. Massive investment in servers and data-center infrastructure has pushed computers ahead of categories such as passenger vehicles and oil, illustrating how quickly AI investment is affecting physical trade flows. • Mexico's importance continues to grow. Mexico ranks as the leading U.S. trade partner in the data discussed, including its critical role in both imports and exports, while Port Laredo has again become the nation's leading trade gateway by value. • Supply chains continue shifting away from China. Taiwan, Vietnam, South Korea, and other Asian markets are taking increasingly prominent positions as tariffs, technology investment, and sourcing strategies reshape longstanding trade patterns. • Trade data should be a business-development tool. Importers, exporters, executives, and small-business owners can use commodity, country, and port data to identify growing markets, sourcing opportunities, emerging demand, and potential risks.

How long can the current sports card market keep going up, and what could finally bring it back down? In Part 5 of our Sports Cards Live conversation, we look ahead at the next six months and ask whether the hobby's current momentum is sustainable, whether a correction is inevitable, and what could potentially trigger it. Could an MLB work stoppage ripple through the hobby? Could a broader recession force collectors to sell? What happens when the biggest buyers finally reach the limits of their budgets? And could a major grading scandal create an entirely different kind of disruption? Chris McGill breaks down the hobby's "capital ecosystem" and explains why he's watching where new money is coming from, who's spending it, and what happens when that capital stops expanding and begins rotating instead. Then, during the show, breaking news: the controversial restored and reconstructed T206 Honus Wagner closes at Love of the Game for approximately $1.336 million including buyer's premium. Was that a strong result for a dramatically restored Wagner, or an underwhelming one given the attention surrounding the card? From there, the conversation gets heated. Gary Vaynerchuk's recent comments about vintage fictional and non-sports cards bring us into a much larger debate about influence, pumping and market manipulation. If someone with a massive audience talks publicly about a card they believe is undervalued and demand suddenly explodes, is that unhealthy? Josh Adams argues that artificially accelerated price increases can eventually hurt the collectors buying at the top and drive people out of the hobby when prices inevitably fall. Jeremy pushes back. What if the card really WAS overlooked? What if increased exposure simply introduces thousands of collectors to something they didn't previously know existed? And what if those new collectors genuinely fall in love with it? Is that pumping, or is it price discovery? We also discuss collectors owning dozens of copies of the same card, when collecting becomes investing, why some collectors actually WANT prices to come down, and whether there's such a thing as a "natural" increase in a card's value anymore. Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

Nationwide, students, teachers, and parents are gearing up for the school year.And measles is spreading. The U.S. has already logged more cases this year than in all of 2025. It's the highest count in 35 years. That's in large part because measles vaccination rates have slipped below 95 percent – the threshold public health experts say is needed to stop community spread.  Last week on CNN, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said children should be vaccinated for measles after being pressed on-camera, even as he used the same interview to push a debunked claim about respiratory syncytial virus.  And on Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at upending the childhood vaccine schedule, including changes to the measles vaccine and others.

“Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:11 NLT) It’s not unusual for sincere believers to have days of doubt, discouragement, and despair. Even the heroes of the faith struggled in these areas. Moses was handpicked by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery and to deliver the Ten Commandments. Yet, on at least one occasion, he was so overwhelmed by the consistent complaining of the Israelites that he said to the Lord, “I can’t carry all these people by myself! The load is far too heavy! If this is how you intend to treat me, just go ahead and kill me. Do me a favor and spare me this misery!” (Numbers 11:14–15 NLT). Elijah, after his contest with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, heard that Queen Jezebel had put a contract out on his life. He was so overwhelmed by his circumstances, so discouraged, so uncertain, and so filled with doubt that he said to God, “I have had enough, Lord. . . . Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died” (1 Kings 19:4 NLT). The prophet Jeremiah struggled as well. He was ridiculed and harassed for communicating the Word of God. Because he was tired of the pressure he was facing, it made him want to stop communicating God’s Word altogether. He said, “When I speak, the words burst out. ‘Violence and destruction!’ I shout. So these messages from the Lord have made me a household joke” (Jeremiah 20:8 NLT). Even the apostle Paul had moments when he was discouraged. He wrote to the church at Corinth, “We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it” (2 Corinthians 1:8 NLT). So, if we ever feel overwhelmed, the first thing we need to understand is that we’re in good company. Wrestling with doubt or uncertainty or being perplexed as to why God didn’t work in a certain way doesn’t set us apart from other believers. The second thing we need to understand is that fear and faith are separated by a very thin line, one that often gets blurred during our walk with Christ. One moment we say, “Everything will be fine—no problem.” Then the next moment we can look at the same circumstances and find ourselves in absolute despair. So, what’s the answer? We must recognize that we’re human, just like the great people of Scripture. We must cast our burdens on God and pray for the strength to place our problems in their proper perspective. The psalmist had that perspective when he wrote, “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!” (Psalm 42:11 NLT). We can’t see the big picture of God’s work in this world. And our limited perspective is bound to cause some heightened emotions. That’s why we must place our trust in the One who can see everything and is working it all for good.

In this lesson from the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the deeper structure of the human soul through the concepts of nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. Drawing from the teachings of Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that the nefesh is associated with physical desire, the ruach with emotion, honor, and ego, and the neshamah with the intellect and our highest spiritual aspirations. These three forces operate simultaneously within every person, creating the lifelong struggle between immediate physical gratification and the soul's desire for closeness to Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that reality extends far beyond what our physical eyes can perceive. Spiritual causes and consequences may exist even when they are hidden from us. Through a story involving a businessman who sought guidance from a Kabbalistic sage, he illustrates the Torah perspective that our spiritual choices can influence aspects of life in ways that are not visible on the surface. The broader lesson is that Judaism asks us to look beyond the purely material world and recognize that our actions affect both the physical and spiritual dimensions of existence.The lesson then focuses on the central battle between intellect and emotion. The heart may crave what feels pleasurable in the moment, even when the mind knows that the choice is harmful. Rabbi Wolbe uses the example of someone warned by a doctor to avoid unhealthy food who nevertheless places himself in a tempting environment and gradually rationalizes giving in. Spiritual maturity requires training the mind to govern the heart rather than allowing emotions and impulses to dictate our choices.Rabbi Wolbe concludes by describing life as an ongoing contest between the physical forces that pursue pleasure, wealth, honor, and comfort and the neshamah that continually asks a deeper question: What will bring me closer to Hashem? Whichever side we strengthen becomes more powerful. When physical desires dominate, spiritual sensitivity weakens. When the neshamah leads, humility, wisdom, and closeness to God flourish. The struggle itself is the purpose of life—and every choice gives us another opportunity to allow the highest part of ourselves to lead._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 12, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

What if the story you're telling yourself isn't the whole story?Quiet leaders often spend a lot of time thinking, processing, and trying to understand what's happening around them. But sometimes that thoughtful processing can turn into assumptions... about what someone meant, why they didn't respond, what they're thinking, or what a situation says about us.In this episode of Strength in Numbers, Jilann continues the Quiet Strength: The Power of Heart Postures series by exploring the power of choosing curiosity over assumption. You'll discover how an open heart allows us to pause, ask better questions, and stay open to perspectives we may not have considered.Using the Enneagram's Hornevian Stances - Dutiful, Assertive, and Withdrawn - Jilann explores the different ways we may naturally respond when we're uncertain or trying to make sense of other people. You'll learn how your natural stance can influence the assumptions you make and how curiosity can help you communicate more clearly and lead with greater openness.In this episode, you'll discover:Why we so easily fill in the blanks when we don't have all the informationHow assumptions can affect leadership and relationshipsHow the Enneagram's three Stances influence the way we process uncertaintyWhy quiet leaders can sometimes process internally instead of communicating outwardlyHow to replace assumptions with curiosity and better questionsThree simple questions to help you pause before creating a story about someone elseIf you've ever replayed a conversation, wondered what someone really meant, or realized you may have made assumptions without having all the information, this episode offers a practical way to stay open, communicate more clearly, and lead with greater confidence.Would you like to join us for our next Quiet Strength Gathering?

What does "rare" actually mean in the sports card hobby anymore? A Michael Jordan Molten Metal Fusion Titanium numbered to just 40 copies reportedly sells privately for nearly $1 million, sparking a fascinating debate. To an ultra-modern collector accustomed to cards numbered to 10, 5 or even one-of-ones, is /40 really rare? To a 90s collector, /40 can be extraordinarily rare. And to a vintage collector, rarity may have an entirely different meaning. Chris McGill of Card Ladder brings the question to the Sports Cards Live panel and we go deep. We discuss manufactured scarcity versus organic rarity, print runs versus actual surviving populations, how often a card actually becomes available, and the enormous difference between a card being technically rare and being truly scarce. We also explore the importance of substitutes. There may only be 40 copies of one particular Michael Jordan card, but how many other desirable Jordan cards exist from that same season? Compare that to vintage icons where collectors may have far fewer alternatives. Then we add condition and eye appeal to the equation. Can an otherwise common card become effectively rare simply because exceptionally attractive copies almost never surface? Joe Poirot explains why owning a one-of-one has changed his entire perspective on rarity, while Jeff Hart, David Chase, Joshua Adams and Jeremy Lee bring their own collecting philosophies into the debate. Then we make it personal: What is the one card you simply wouldn't sell? From a Roberto Clemente rookie purchased as a teenager to an in-person Luka Doncic autograph tied to a special memory, a playing-era autographed Bill Russell rookie and Jeremy's Superman, Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio cards, everyone has a different reason why certain pieces become irreplaceable. Plus, we discuss the psychology of "not-for-sale" prices, Michael Jordan cards reaching astonishing new levels, whether collectors should actually WANT card prices to fall, and why sometimes loving the card matters more than loving the money. Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

In this episode, the hosts examine Charles Spurgeon's sermon “Walking in the Light of the Lord,” preached from Isaiah 2:5: “O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.” The discussion begins by placing a widely shared Spurgeon quote about the Jews back into its original sermon context, then expands into a challenging Bible study on Israel, the church, the Gentiles, Zionism, dispensationalism, prophecy, and Christian political influence.The hosts read Isaiah 2:1–5 and consider whether the passage points to the millennial reign, the future restoration of Israel, and a time when the nations will seek the teaching of the Lord. They discuss the distinction between natural Israel and the spiritual people of God, the grafted olive tree, the rejection of the Messiah, and Spurgeon's call for Christians to pray for the conversion and ingathering of the Jewish people.A major question runs throughout the episode: What does it actually mean to “bless Israel”? The conversation compares modern political and military support for Israel with the biblical call to seek a people's true good through repentance, salvation, and faith in Jesus Christ. Passages and concepts include Genesis 12, Numbers 22–24 and Balaam, Numbers 24:9, Galatians 3, Jacob and Esau, covenant blessings and curses, the birthright, and the Messiah as the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham.The episode also explores whether politics flows downstream from culture, how churches shape political narratives, Donald Trump's populist movement, the Epstein files, propaganda, MKUltra, and the tension between political power and the local mission of the church. In the final section, Spurgeon's sermon turns toward evangelism, the joy of seeing converts come to Christ, the meaning of blessing God, free will, Christian service, house-church fellowship, new converts, spiritual zeal, Luke 5 and the old wine, and the danger of becoming lukewarm inside religious institutions.How should Christians think biblically about Israel without surrendering discernment to either political extreme?

Da er det snart valg igjen i USA, og vi kan merke hvordan all oppmerksomhet og offentlighet trekkes mot dette rare landet med denne ubegripelige lederen, som alltid klarere å være nyhetenes både diskokule og svarte hull på samme tid. For å kanskje bli litt klokere på hva som foregår i USA for tiden så har Lars slått av en prat med Hilde Eliassen Restad, førsteamanuensis ved Oslo Nye Høyskole, som har forsket på og skrevet flere bøker om temaet amerikansk politikk. Vi snakker om amerikansk kultur, eksepsjonalisme, hva som er typisk amerikansk, det pågående 250-årsjubileet, om hvordan Trump kunne bli gjenvalgt, de lange historiske trendene som har ledet landet dit det er idag, hva som har skjedd med det republikanske partiet, problemer i det demokratiske partiet, penger i politikk og valg, hva som skjer etter Trump, USAs rolle i verden, det kommende mellomvalget, og litt mer. Men før vi kommer til hoveddelen av dagens episode får vi høre fra Cornelius Jakhelln og Ole Johan Moe, som står bak filosofifestivalen Tvisofi, som går av stabelen i Kristiansand 21-23.august.

What are the numbers behind Tottenham Hotspur's extraordinary stadium, and could the technology that makes it such a commercial success have an unexpected downside? We are joined by Patrick from By the Numbers' instagram account to dig into the business, science and technology behind modern football. We look at Spurs' incredible retractable pitch, how it disappears beneath the South Stand in around 30 minutes, and how the stadium has helped transform Tottenham's commercial potential. But there's another side to the numbers. With Spurs suffering a succession of serious injuries, could the unusual construction of the pitch be playing a part, or is the evidence simply not there? And just how much does an injured Premier League player actually cost a football club? Football, by the numbers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this lesson from the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the powerful parable of the royal soul. The human neshamah is compared to the daughter of a king—pure, precious, and lofty—yet placed inside a physical body filled with earthly desires. The body wants comfort, food, pleasure, materialism, and immediate gratification, while the soul longs for holiness and closeness to Hashem. This tension between body and soul is not a defect in creation; it is the very arena in which human greatness is achieved.Rabbi Wolbe explains that our mission is not to reject the physical world, but to elevate it. Physical experiences can become extraordinarily holy when directed properly. He illustrates this through marriage and intimacy: what the outside world may treat as merely physical can, within the sanctity of a Jewish marriage, become one of the holiest expressions of Divine service. Torah awakens the soul to remember its royalty and teaches us not to “sell ourselves cheaply” by living beneath our spiritual dignity.The lesson then turns to the unique privilege and responsibility of the Jewish people. Hashem gave us Torah and mitzvos as the means through which we recognize His greatness, develop Yirat Shamayim, and draw closer to Him. Looking at the heavens, the earth, the sun, moon, and stars can awaken awareness of the Creator—but Torah gives that awareness clarity and direction. Through learning and mitzvah observance, we begin to understand not only that Hashem exists, but what He wants from us.Rabbi Wolbe concludes by describing Yirat Shamayim as Hashem's greatest treasure. Gold, silver, possessions, and worldly success cannot compare to the clarity of knowing our relationship with God. The more we invest in Torah, mitzvos, and Hashem's wisdom, the more we awaken the royal soul within and recognize how privileged we are to live in a personal relationship with the Creator._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 16, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 11, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

True operational scale requires more than expanding a business model—it demands scaling the human capital and personal leadership of the founder behind it. In this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to explore how a humble garage project evolved into an international movement addressing an invisible community crisis. Luke shares the origin story of delivering his first bunk bed to a six-year-old girl named Haley—a single act of compassion that sparked a organization now spanning over 440 chapters, 130,000 volunteers, and 300,000 beds delivered to kids in need. The conversation dives into the business strategies and human capital dynamics behind managing a massive, decentralized workforce. Luke breaks down how coining the term "child bedlessness" brought clarity to a hidden problem to drive corporate support, how to maintain strict product quality across hundreds of autonomous chapters, and why high-touch assembly-line experiences turn casual sweat equity into lifelong brand loyalty. Luke also tackles the painful personal hurdles of rapid growth, pulling back the curtain on "Founder Syndrome" and identity fusion. He candidly shares how he recognized he was becoming an operational bottleneck, offering a preview of his Founder Syndrome Survival Course designed to help leaders navigate governance shifts, prevent burnout, and transition smoothly from frontline operator to strategic visionary. Listeners will gain actionable insights on evaluating success through a true valuation mindset—reframing ROI to include long-term developmental outcomes for children and deep psychological returns for volunteers. Whether you are scaling a business, leading a non-profit, or seeking to align purpose with execution, this episode delivers a masterclass on turning a simple act of service into a high-impact movement. About Our Guest: Luke Mickelson is the founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), the largest bed-building charity in the world, with a mission built on a simple but powerful truth: child bedlessness may not be a real word, but it's a real problem. In 2012, Luke built a bunk bed in his garage for a local family in need. What happened next changed everything. That single act of service sparked a movement—one that has since grown into a nationwide and international network of volunteers who have delivered hundreds of thousands of beds to children who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor. Luke's work has been recognized nationally, including being named a CNN Hero, and featured on Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, and Mike Rowe's Returning the Favor. But for Luke, the true reward isn't recognition—it's the impact created when ordinary people choose to act. Today, Luke brings that same message to stages across the country. His keynote, Making Passion Purpose, challenges audiences to recognize the “tiny moments” in their own lives—the small opportunities to serve, lead, and make a difference. Because those moments, when acted upon, don't just change someone else's world… they can change your own. In addition to his work with SHP, Luke speaks and teaches on the realities of the founder's journey, including the challenges of identity, growth, and letting go. His insights on Founder's Syndrome and leadership evolution help leaders move from building something meaningful… to building something that lasts.

Numbers 12:1-15; Matthew 7:1-5 David Wilson // Senior Pastor

Can your birth date really reveal who you are, who you're meant to become and even when major changes could happen in your life? I'll be honest: before this conversation, I knew absolutely nothing about numerology. And I had a LOT of questions. In this episode of A Millennial Mind, I'm joined by numerologist and spiritual teacher Kaitlyn Kaerhart to understand what numerology actually is, why people believe our lives move through nine-year cycles, and whether numbers can really tell us anything about our relationships, careers, money and future. Kaitlyn even decodes my own numbers, including why she believes this year makes sense for marriage, pregnancy and family and some of what she told me genuinely surprised me. But I also wanted to challenge it. Where is the evidence? Why do some descriptions resonate while others don't? Are angel numbers actually meaningful? And is there a danger in allowing spiritual tools to make our decisions for us? In this episode, we discuss: ✨How to calculate your Life Path Number ✨ What Life Path Numbers 1–9 mean ✨ The Master Numbers 11, 22 & 33 ✨ My own numerology reading ✨ Life Path vs Life Destiny Numbers ✨ What "karmic debt" means in numerology ✨ The nine-year cycles Kaitlyn uses to interpret love, money and career ✨ Why Year 6 is associated with relationships ✨ Why Year 8 is associated with money ✨ 11:11, 777 and the truth about "angel numbers" ✨ Whether numerology can really predict the future ✨ The danger of becoming too dependent on spiritual tools ✨ How Kaitlyn uses numerology alongside intuition and manifestation Whether you're deeply spiritual, completely sceptical or simply curious, this conversation isn't about telling you what to believe. It's about asking whether the patterns we notice in our lives can teach us something about ourselves. Let me know in the comments: what's your Life Path Number and does it actually sound like you? And if you enjoy conversations that challenge the way you think about yourself and your life, make sure you're subscribed to A Millennial Mind.

Why does a card sit relatively unnoticed for years and then suddenly explode? And more importantly, can you spot it before everybody else does? In Part 3 of our Sports Cards Live conversation, Jeff Hart joins Jeremy Lee and David Chase to explore the idea of a card having its "moment." Sometimes it's an influencer bringing attention to something overlooked. Sometimes it's a record sale. Sometimes collectors get priced out of one card and start looking for the next logical alternative. And sometimes a sleeping giant simply reaches the critical mass required for the hobby to finally notice it. We get into the cards and categories we believe could still be hiding in plain sight. Jeremy explains why he recently bought the 1977 Star Wars Princess Leia, why he believes vintage Exquisite football featuring all-time greats like Peyton Manning and Barry Sanders may be dramatically underappreciated compared to basketball, and how getting priced out of one card can lead collectors toward the next opportunity. David takes the same approach to Larry Doby, Satchel Paige, Sandy Koufax and Roberto Clemente, and explains why he believes Diego Maradona may be lagging behind the other giants of soccer collecting. We also discuss the rise of 1935 Mickey Mouse and 1940 Superman, Jackie Robinson and the growing importance of eye appeal, the role of social media and influential collectors, and whether it's actually possible to identify these hobby movements before the masses arrive. Then Chris McGill and Josh Adams join the panel and we return to the National pricing debate from a different perspective. Are collectors complaining about high prices actually a healthy sign? Why do collectors hold tighter when markets are rising? And when a truly rare card finally becomes available, does the last comp even matter? Ultimately, it leads to a very simple question: Do you like the cards more than you like the money? Featuring Jeremy Lee, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

Property management accounting problems rarely announce themselves. They build quietly, through reconciliation shortcuts, commingled funds, and data spread across systems that were never designed to talk to each other. By the time the damage shows up in a report, the decisions based on bad numbers have already been made. In this episode, Mo Hussein, CEO of Balanced Asset Solutions, breaks down why property management accounting systems break as portfolios grow, what bad data is actually costing operators, and how the next generation of AI tools is changing what oversight looks like at scale. About Mo Hussein Mo Hussein is the CEO and founder of Balanced Asset Solutions, a CPA-led consulting firm specializing in property management accounting, software optimization, and operational performance. Before founding BAS, Mo held roles at AppFolio and Yardi, giving him a front-row view of how these systems are built, where they get misused, and what breaks when operators scale without the right controls. He is also building PropStrata, an AI-powered platform designed to sit on top of property management systems and unify data, automate workflows, and surface operational bottlenecks across the tools operators are already using. What We Cover in This Episode Why property management accounting breaks as portfolios grow The difference between a system of record and a system of action Why AppFolio, Yardi, and RealPage are built differently than QuickBooks and when each is appropriate What "source of truth" means in property management and why most operators get it wrong Why operating off bank accounts or Excel instead of your PM software creates serious risk How commingled funds and weak accounting controls open the door to embezzlement Trust accounting compliance requirements and the regulatory exposure of getting it wrong What legacy property management software does well and where AI is creating the gap How PropStrata is building a layer that sits above systems of record to standardize data and automate repetitive workflows Why verticalized AI built for real estate will outperform general AI tools in this space What automating the eviction dossier process looks like at 1,000 units What property management operations could look like in three to five years Key Insight Mo makes a point that most operators don't want to hear: embezzlement in property management is more common than people think, and weak accounting controls are the reason. When funds get commingled, reconciliations get skipped, and permissions aren't set correctly, the exposure isn't just financial sloppiness. It's a direct invitation to fraud. Proper trust accounting guardrails in platforms like AppFolio and Yardi aren't just good practice. In states like California, they're a regulatory requirement, and operating outside them can cost you your broker license. Why This Episode Matters If your reports can't explain what caused a change in performance, you are making decisions with incomplete information. Mo's framework for treating your property management software as the actual source of truth for every operational and financial decision is one of the clearest articulations of this problem we've had on the show. If you're growing a portfolio and still reconciling in Excel or running financials out of QuickBooks, this episode is a direct challenge to how you're operating.

What does God actually think about the way we worship Him? In Malachi chapter one, God brings a direct charge against His people for offering Him their leftovers while reserving their best for everything else. The priests were bringing blind, lame, and sick animals as sacrifices, and God called it evil. His question cuts straight to the heart: Where is my honor? This message digs into one of the most convicting passages in the Old Testament and asks a question that is just as relevant today. Are we giving God our best, or are we showing up with a whatever attitude? Are we treating worship as a privilege or a burden? Key topics covered include: what the book of Malachi is about and why it still matters, how a whatever attitude creeps into our worship without us realizing it, why God said He would rather close the temple doors than receive defiled worship, what right worship actually looks like according to Malachi chapter two, how worship connects to everyday holy living, and what happens when we get worship right. The passage also draws a powerful connection to the story of Moses at the rock in Numbers chapter twenty, showing that how we approach God matters in every moment, not just on Sundays. Whether you are exploring what the Bible says about worship, studying the book of Malachi, or asking honest questions about your own spiritual life, this message offers both a challenge and a clear path forward.

In part two of the “Rent Free” series, Pastor Chad Veach preaches a message titled “No Turning Back,” challenging believers to stop romanticizing the very things God delivered them from. Using the Israelites in Numbers 11, he shows how they were physically free from Egypt but still craved their old life. Pastor Chad explains that freedom is received, freedom is learned, and freedom is fought for—and learning to live free means refusing to linger in old relationships, habits, mindsets, lusts, and patterns. “God can get you out of Egypt, but it take a long time to get Egypt out of you.” Drawing from Lot's wife, Paul's instruction to flee youthful lusts, and his own experiences, Pastor Chad urges the church to “don't look back and don't stir up.” Instead of constantly revisiting the past, believers are called to throw off their old life and embrace the new life Jesus has given them. He challenges listeners to examine what needs to be removed during 21 days of prayer and fasting—old attitudes, thinking patterns, speech, relationships, and anything else pulling them away from God. As he puts it, “Don't tolerate where you're going. Celebrate where you're going.” Ultimately, Pastor Chad calls believers to “feed your future.” Rather than sowing back into the life God rescued us from, we should invest in where God is taking us: “Sow where you wanna go.” Staying free isn't accomplished through human effort alone, but by continually being filled with the Holy Spirit. The same God who delivered you is faithful to sustain you and complete the work He started. Your past may explain where you've been, but it doesn't determine where you're going—there's no turning back.

Sal shares the summer he met powerlifters at 15 and gained 17 pounds of lean mass, and the story of his ER doctor friend Justin who went up 40 pounds on bench in 4 weeks wondering why it felt so easy.
