Please join us along with Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, Ashira Darwish, Rae Abileah, Shahd Abusalama, Omid Safi, Reverend Michael Yoshii, and Iyas Sartawari for a reckoning. A collective refusal. A gathering of those who cannot stay silent while genocide is livestreamed. We do not come together to be informed. We come because we already know. We come because we refuse to normalize atrocity. We come to grieve every stolen Palestinian life—every child starved, every family erased. We come to grieve the collapse of our shared humanity—and to ignite what remains. This grief is not weakness. It is fire. It is clarity. It is a declaration: we will not look away.

Opening Remarks and Introduction A message from Psalms will be shared. Trust in God is essential. Like when the song was played, trusting God is key. Reading Psalms 5:11-12. Those who trust in God should rejoice and shout for joy. God defends them and brings joy to those who believe in His name. God blesses the righteous with favor, surrounding them like a shield. The Significance of "Because" "Because" introduces an expectation, whether good or bad. The word itself is indifferent to the nature of what follows. It sets up an understanding that reasons will follow. There are countless reasons to consider what God is saying. There are a thousand reasons to consider what God has done. We only glean handfuls of purpose that God shares. Rejoicing in God is essential because what He does is eternal. God redeemed from a dark place and set feet on solid rock. The devil can't undo that. God's goodness outweighs any bad. People of God should rejoice, worship, and have joy because of God's goodness. We haven't earned anything, but God pours out goodness. Salvation is eternal. Saved on best and worst days. God doesn't change, even if we waver. Hope and Rejoicing Hope comes from truth, not worldly circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: Rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. Reasons to rejoice despite hard circumstances. God is still in heaven and able to help. Paul and Silas in jail: Even beaten and chained, they praised God. The Holy Ghost filled the jail cell with hope. Rejoicing is a commandment to the people of God. Perspective should be focused on God, not worldly circumstances. God has always been good. Focusing on Him changes the heart's position. The Power of Prayer and Gratitude To experience God's power, don't quit praying. Pray continually throughout the day. Rejoice in hard times by conversing with God. In everything give thanks, for this is God's will. Trust in God with all your heart, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. A hard conversation with a friend who lost his job. The friend chose to look up instead of down. It's better to be better than bitter. There's nothing in this world that keeps me here. Longing for a fairer land where everything is right. The Word "Because" in Scripture The word "because" is used over 1200 times in the Bible. Sometimes followed by bad reasons, sometimes good. David in the Psalms: Motivated by good and bad things. God has always been good, in ups and downs. God is the hope of salvation and the joy in every circumstance. Reasons to rejoice, pray, and give thanks. Trusting God's Plan We don't know what's best for us. Born into a family of God that knows what we need. God has been faithful through everything. 1 John 4:19: We love Him because He first loved us. God's love is unconditional, unlike human love. He loves us in spite of ourselves. God's love saved an unworthy soul. Goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives. God doesn't do bad things; it's our perspective that categorizes them as such. God is good even when we think it's bad or over. Rejoice always. Whatever has come to you, I'm not exempt from it. If you know what I know, you've still got something to shout about. Rejoicing in God's Defense Psalms 5:11: Let those who trust in God rejoice and shout for joy because He defends them. Story of defending from bullies as a child. The father went with him to fight the bully. God is always there defending. God puts you in the fight, but He's there. He won't let the enemy get over His children. Rejoice because He defends me. Good news for those who worry and can't sleep. God defends even while we sleep. David and Goliath: David knew God would deliver him. Rejoice because God defends you. No enemy can strike without God's knowledge and control...

Thank you for joining us for this in-depth solo lecture from Dr. John Vervaeke, where he continues his exploration of cognition, meaning, and spirit from the perspective of relevance realization and predictive processing. In this talk, John takes us on a journey through the architecture of the mind, explaining how voluntary necessity, scientific idealization, and porous participation form the basis of how we understand ourselves and the world. He unpacks the imaginal dimension of cognition, the deep entanglement of anticipation and rationality, and how the fellowship of the spirit provides an existential framework for collective meaning-making. Drawing from philosophers like Spinoza, Merleau-Ponty, Charles Taylor, and William Desmond, and cognitive scientists like Carl Friston and Andy Clark, John interweaves modern theory with ancient insight to offer a profound vision of how reason, imagination, and love can coexist.

What makes culture so powerful, and why do so many organizations get it wrong? Kevin sits down with organizational psychologist Laura Hamill to discuss the disconnect between the practice of culture and the science of culture. Laura defines culture not just as what's visible on the surface, but as the underlying "collective set of reasons why" behaviors occur in organizations. She explains why leaders must bridge the gap between aspirational values and actual workplace experiences and introduces the concept of cultural betrayal. The discussion also covers the difference between culture and climate, the role of middle managers in operationalizing values, and how behaviors and norms shape what is truly valued in the workplace.
