Passage: Numbers 16:1 -50 Date: August 3, 2025 Overview: A man named Korah leads an outright rebellion against Moses (and the LORD). He defiantly thought he could do better than Moses (and God).  This mindset does nothing but bring utter destruction to you and your family. 

Did you hear the one about the professional poker player who co-founded and became the chief operating officer of a lottery, bingo and gaming company? Well, we hadn't until seeing an announcement in early June of a new partnership between Random State and Oakville-based Delta Bingo & Gaming. That happened mere weeks after the Swedish-based businessreceived its supplier's licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario. So, we invited Adam Fonsica to be our guest on the latest episode of the Gaming News Canada Show. Fonsica, whom we first met in June 2024 at the Canadian Gaming Summit, talked us through his journey from playing poker to running an online lottery and bingo business. The one-time Miljonlotteriet executive also discussed Random State's interest in Ontario and the rest of Canada, the Delta partnership, the impact of the digital world on lottery and bingo, and also provided his insight on regulated gambling in his homeland.

Passage: Numbers 14:39-45 Date: July 27, 2025 Overview: False assurance is such a dangerous reality. The people assumed God was with them. Moses told them He wasn't because of their rebellion. But they still thought they could get their blessing despite their lack of faith. They were wrong. They went without the Lord and were intensely defeated. We can't make up for our sins on our own. We need the Savior.

Hi Parents! What if helping your anxious teen build confidence had less to do with what you say, and more to do with how they move their body? In today's episode, I'm joined by Neil Sheppard, founder of the Inner Athlete system, to explore the powerful connection between movement and mental health. Neil shares how strength training, structure, and intentional physical activity can help teens manage anxiety, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their sense of self. More About Neil: Neil Sheppard is a performance coach, the founder of the Inner Athlete system, and owner of Dynamic Sport Group in Oakville, Ontario. With a strong foundation in youth development, physical literacy, and strength and conditioning, Neil helps teens and athletes develop confidence, resilience, and a sense of emotional well-being through movement. His approach was born from personal experience - after years of high-level sport and physical labor, Neil faced multiple injuries and a loss of athletic identity. Stuck in the in-between of not injured enough for therapy, but not strong enough to train, he began rebuilding both physically and emotionally. That process laid the groundwork for the Inner Athlete system, which bridges the gap between rehab and performance. Today, Neil helps young people tap into the power of their bodies as a path to self-trust, mental strength, and long-term growth. We'll dive into why movement can be such a powerful tool for self-regulation, how it boosts self-trust, and why progress is the mindset teens need most right now. Whether your teen is an athlete or just trying to feel more comfortable in their own skin, this conversation offers a fresh, practical lens on what it really takes to feel strong, physically and emotionally.

Passage: Numbers 13:1-14:38 Date: July 20, 2025 Overview: God commanded spies to be sent to scout out the land of Canaan. They had made it there. But the spies came back with a warning in their report about the size and strength of the inhabitants. Only two – Joshua and Caleb- recommended seizing the land as the Lord had said. The rest didn't. The people rebelled. God was angered. Judgement came. – 40 years of wandering. They let fear overwhelm their faith.

Passage: Numbers 12:1-16 Date: July 13, 2025 Overview: Miriam and Aaron complain against Moses. Last week we saw the people, driven by wanting more, complained.  That complaining syndrome infects Miriam and Aaron as well.  Now, we see them and their pride contrasted against Moses and his humility.  Pride will always make us wander – especially as leaders.

Lyndsay Hoopes has a lot on her plate—and it's not just wine. Napa County has hit Hoopes Vineyard with a public nuisance complaint over everything from tastings and visitation to a small animal sanctuary on the property. Now, they're demanding nearly $8.7 million, a figure the family simply doesn't have. In this conversation, Lyndsay breaks down the murky regulations at the heart of the dispute and shares her frustration over what feels like selective enforcement. “There is no definition of visitor. There is no definition of retail,” she points out, raising fair questions about how anyone is supposed to play by the rules when the rules aren't clearly written. Meanwhile, the wines—crafted from prime Oakville fruit by winemaker Aaron Pott—are stellar. But behind every glass, there's a story of one woman fighting for her business, her land, and some straight answers. [EP 377] Hoopesvineyard.com @hoopesvineyard

Passage: Numbers 11:1-35 Date: July 6, 2025 Overview: Beware of wanting more and not being content.  Whenever our wants replace our contentment our faith begins to wander.   

That's suspicious....This episode we discuss the Oakville Blobs, Bigfoot, and the Dyatlov Pass incident. These three topics create an episode you don't want to miss!! Oh! And it's also our 100th episode!! Thank you so much for your continued support. We wouldn't be here without you!! Here's to at least 100 more ❤️On August 7, 1994, Oakville, Washington experienced some weird gelatinous rain. These blobs were uniform in shape and cause human & animal sicknesses. Over the next month it happened 7 more times, only in Oakville. Luckily, the next 7 rainfalls didn't cause any illnesses in humans or animals. Even weirder, the samples collected disappeared so no one knows what these blobs were. Bigfoot, a cryptid that is a common character in American & Canadian folklore. He has been seen off and on since the 1800s in North America and there have been sightings all over the world under different names. There are many different types of Bigfoot, some of which we explore in this episode. Ten experienced ski hikers, 8 men and 2 women, set out to embark on a 14 day expedition in the northern Ural Mountains in Russia on January 27, 1959. They never returned and the investigation into their deaths has been weird, to say the least. Between radioactive clothing, unexplained injuries, and a guy wearing two watches stopped at two different times, this story is wild!!Interested in learning more about when WTF releases new episodes, contests, and more?

Passage: Exodus 32:1-35 / 24:12-18Date: June 29, 2025Overview: Moses goes up on Mt. Sinai to meet with the Lord. But when he comes down, he sees all the people worshiping… the golden calf. They already break the first several commandments! This is a lesson on worship and how we're created to worship but who we worship is of the first importance!

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has just launched a constitutional challenge against legislation in the city of Vaughan known as a “bubble zone” bylaw. It restricts protest within 100 metres of a place of worship, school, daycare, hospital or care facility. Advocates say that in a time of rising extremism and hate crimes, the bylaws are necessary to protect vulnerable groups' access to these spaces.Toronto and the nearby town of Oakville also passed bubble zone bylaws last month, and several other Ontario municipalities, including Ottawa, are considering similar legislation of their own.But the CCLA argues the bylaws are unnecessary and infringe on free expression rights, while other critics have argued they're being used to silence dissent — in particular pro-Palestinian protest. Today, producer Allie Jaynes looks at the surprising history of bubble zones, the cases for and against them, and whether they're being used to chill peaceful protest.This episode references another Front Burner episode, from May 2024, on protests outside a synagogue in Vaughan, Ontario.

Exodus 20:12-21 June 8, 2025 As the first four commandments pertain to our love for God, the last six delve into the commands for us to love each other. These commands teach us how we're to love and how love relationships are sacred to God and an extension of our love for God.

Exodus 20:1-11June 1, 2025Moses receives the Ten Commandments from God to instruct Israel on what it looks like to be a part of God's people. The first four of the ten commandments describe what our love for God is to look like.

On the evening of June 1, a synagogue in Mississauga, Ont., will officially welcome nine new members of the Jewish faith, during Shavuot services. The conversion candidates have been studying for months, having undergone ritual baths and—in some cases—symbolic circumcisions, all to join the Tribe. The timing of the ceremony for these “Jews by choice” harkens back to the Biblical story we read on Shavuot about Ruth, a Moabite woman who joined the Israelites through marriage, and whose descendants included King David and Jesus Christ. For months, Canadian rabbis of all denominations have been reporting heightened levels of interest in conversions. Some candidates are looking to commit for their Jewish spouse; others proceeded solo on their own spiritual journeys. However, one thing many had in common: Oct. 7 has a lot to do with it. Why would anyone want to become Jewish, you ask, when antisemitism and anti-Zionism are becoming increasingly mainstream? We get answers on today's episode of The CJN Daily. Rabbis Taylor Baruchel of Holy Blossom Temple, the largest Reform congregation in Canada, and Stephen Wise, the spiritual leader of Shaarei-Beth El Congregation, in Oakville, join to explain the phenomenon.

Exodus 19:5-6May 25, 2025All of us long to hear that we're valued and treasured. That we're important and have dignity. However, far too often we look for those words in all the wrong places – and for the wrong reasons. Yet, God has those exact kinds of words to say to His people.

Luke 18:15-17 May 18, 2025 In much of American society, children are seen as annoyances, bothers, burdens, necessary frustrations for the greater good. The disciples saw children this way to as a burden to be managed, not blessings to be celebrated. Jesus welcomed the little children and commands us to not hinder them. Jesus makes “I'm a burden” untrue for all children, everywhere.

Genesis 38, 44 May 11, 2025 (Mother's Day) Every parent has blown it. We've all done things we wish we could take back and that our children would forget. But unfortunately, we've all failed – just like Judah. And far too often, we let our mistakes, instead of our Messiah's perfections, define us and direct us. Through the forgiveness of Jesus and power of the resurrection, “I'm a failure,” is made untrue, and the definition and direction for every person and parent can change.

In August 1994, Oakville, Washington, was the target of a strange, unexplained event: a shower of translucent blobs, not rain, fell from the sky. The gooey substance coated everything in sight, from windshields to grass, leaving residents and animals sick with inexplicable symptoms. Was it a freak weather anomaly or something more disturbing? Theories have swirled for years, from bombed jellyfish to secret military experiments. But despite numerous investigations, the true origin of the blobs remains a mystery. Now, with reports of similar occurrences just a few miles away in 2025, the question lingers: What really fell from the sky that summer? In this episode, we dig into the chilling details of the Oakville blob incident and the questions that still haunt the small town, and could possibly reveal a much darker truth.Edited by Maxwell Holechek

John 4 May 4, 2025 (Student Sunday) Everyone has a past. Everyone is ashamed. Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin screams that we are not worthy. But the resurrection declares Jesus is worthy and through Jesus we can be made worthy. So in light of the resurrection regardless of our sin, our shame, our past, or how others see us, in Christ “I'm not worthy” is untrue.

Darren was born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan. With 25 years of experience in the fire service, he has taught and mentored at various level, always striving to pass on his knowledge and passion for the job. For the Past 16 years, Darren has been a proud member of Oakville Fire. He began as a training Officer, where he helped shape the next generation of firefighters through recruit training, firefighter survival programs, and the development and delivery of technical rescue disciplines. Now serving in Operations, Darren continues to protect the community of Oakville with the same drive and heart that brought him to the service all those years ago. Darrens love for teaching and mentoring lives on beyond his department. He is an instructor at the South West Fire Academy, where he works hands-on with firefighter boot camps and technical rescue training, and he also teaches technical rescue for the Ontario Fire Marshel's Office. His mission is simple to give back to the job he loves by preparing others to thrive in it. Before joining Oakville Fire, Darren spent 18 years in the Canadian Armed Forces first 9 years with the Princess Patrica Canadian Light Infantry (P.P.C.L.I.) and 9 years as a military Firefighter. It was during this time that he discovered his passion for the fire service. Fitness and performance have always been central to Darren's dedication. He has proudly represented both the military and Oakville Fire in the Firefighter Combat Challenge, becoming a Muti-time national and world champion. For Darren, its not just about competition, its about pushing limits, leading by example, and showing what's possible when passion meets purpose. Outside of work, Darren enjoys spending time with his wife and two beautiful daughters. He is an avid outdoorsman who loves hunting, fishing, and camping, and he keeps active playing hockey in his spare time. Whether he's on a call, in the classroom, or out in the woods, Darren lives everyday with heart, grit, and gratitude for the career that has given him so much, and for the opportunity to keep paying it forward. @dvanzandbergen Sponsorship: @southwest_fire_academy Editing: @bradshea Marketing: @m.pletz Administration: @haileygreenfitness Partnership: @firefighternationhq

2 Corinthians 5:21 April 27, 2025 It's true, no one on their own can truly change. But Jesus changes everything including eternity and including us. Christianity is about transformation through relationship, not information and behavior modification. Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God can change anyone – even you. Therefore, because of the empty tomb “no one can change” is untrue.

In the chaotic early months of his second term, Donald Trump has attacked the Canadian economy and mused about turning Canada into the “51st state.” Now, after decades of close allyship with the U.S., our relationship with America has suddenly become fraught. Which means that Canadians are now starting to ask what a more sovereign Canada might look like – a question Jim Balsillie has been thinking about for 30 years. Balsillie is the former co-CEO of Research in Motion, the company that developed the Blackberry, and is one of the most successful business people in Canada. He's also one of the patriotic, which makes his recent criticism of our country that much more meaningful. As Balsillie has pointed out, our GDP per capita is currently about 70% of what it is in the U.S., our productivity growth has been abysmal for years, and our high cost of living means that 1 in 4 Canadians are now food insecure.But, according to Balsillie, none of this can be blamed on Trump. He thinks that over the last thirty years we've clung to an outdated economic model and have allowed our politics to be captured by corporate interests.So, with less than a week to go before the federal election, I thought it was the perfect time to sit down with Jim and ask him how we might build a stronger, more sovereign Canada.Mentioned:“Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS),” The World Trade Organization“Reinforcing Canada's security and sovereignty in the Arctic,” Prime Minister of Canada“Ontario Welcomes Siemens' $150 Million Investment to Establish New Technology Centre in Oakville,” news release from the Government of OntarioFurther Reading:“We are all economic nationalists now,” by Jim Balsillie (National Post)

This is our first ever head-to-head battle between Trader Joe's and Costco wines, and what a doozy it was. A true battle of equals - the same year, same price, same varietal, same region, same specific area, and same top tier of each retailers' private label wines. Plus, these wines are from Oakville in Napa - one of the most revered wine growing areas in America. And our verdict? Well, we're not going to give it away here, but let's just say the final winner came down to the final bell. A TKO rather than a true knockout. Both Costco and Trader Joe's have an exclusive tier of their private label wines - Diamond Reserve for Trader Joe's, Signature Series for Costco - and they both charge a premium for them, but the real question comes down to this - is the higher price worth it? We also dig into how these wines are made, and by whom, so you can get a sense of whether or not you want to seek them out. Let's get ready to rumble!
