In this episode of Daily Creative, we sit down with Jesse Cole, the founder of the Savannah Bananas—a phenomenon that's redefining what it means to have fun at a baseball game. We share Jesse's incredible journey from feeling uninspired in a “dream job” to igniting a revolution in sports entertainment. Bored with the traditional, slow-moving experience of baseball, Jesse asked the pivotal question: “How could we make this fun every time?”We explore how Jesse leaned into bold ideas, ditched the predictable playbook, and replaced blandness with pure creative energy. Drawing inspiration from visionaries like Walt Disney and P.T. Barnum, Jesse made it his mission to build a show fans couldn't stop talking about—complete with dancing staff, wild rules, and a sense of spectacle that makes every moment count. From the struggles of his early days as a young general manager, turning around a failing team with empty stadiums, to the sold-out, wildly viral success of the Savannah Bananas, Jesse reveals how continuous innovation and fan-first thinking can transform not only an experience, but an entire industry.We go behind the scenes to unearth the Bananas' creative process, from weekly idea pitching sessions inspired by Saturday Night Live to relentless experimentation and audience feedback. Jesse shares how his commitment to fun, learning from outside his industry, and obsession with new ideas keeps the Bananas experience fresh, exciting, and unforgettable night after night.Five Key Learnings from This Episode:Create What You Love: The most remarkable creators, like Jesse, build experiences that they themselves would truly enjoy. If it doesn't excite you, it's unlikely to excite your fans.Embrace the “What If” Question: Growth and innovation come from questioning industry assumptions and daring to envision something completely different, even if it sounds “too much” at first.Learn Across Industries: Pull the best ideas from outside your field. Parallel thinking and adaptation of concepts (from Disney to the circus to WWE) helped make Banana Ball truly unique.Prioritize Experience Over Promotion: People must experience your difference—not just hear about it. The Bananas invest in the fan experience, letting viral moments and word-of-mouth do the marketing.Iterate Fast and Learn Relentlessly: The Bananas test new ideas every night, seek feedback, and adjust constantly to create moments audiences will remember and want to relive.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

In Episode 137 of Baseless Conspiracies, Zak "RedPill78" Paine and Jon Herold unravel the layers of predictive programming embedded in pop culture, examining how Hollywood, media, and even children's content have long hinted at present-day chaos. They explore whether these narratives are seeded by intelligence agencies or spiritual forces, and how to tell the difference. The conversation turns to Mike Pence's role in the 2020 election, with new scrutiny on his loyalties and potential participation in a larger scripted operation. They also revisit the drops, highlighting relevant posts in light of current events and Trump's ongoing strategic moves. With commentary on narrative timing, global symbolism, and spiritual manipulation, this episode explores how the war being fought isn't just political, it's psychological, informational, and deeply spiritual.
In this episode, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham, along with Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management, dive into the Replicat process in Oracle GoldenGate 23ai. They discuss how Replicat applies changes to the target database, highlighting the different types: Classic, Coordinated, and Parallel Replicat.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hi everyone! If you've been listening to us these last few weeks, you'll know we've been discussing the fundamentals of GoldenGate 23ai. Today is going to be all about the Replicat process. Again, this is something we've discussed briefly in earlier episodes, but just to recap, the Replicat process applies changes from the source database to the target database. It's responsible for reading trail files and applying the changes to the target system. 01:04 Lois: That's right, Niki. And we'll be chatting with Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for Oracle GoldenGate. Hi Nick! Thanks for joining us again today. Let's get straight into it. Can you give us an overview of the Replicat process? Nick: One thing that's very important is the Replicat is extremely chatty with that target database. So it's going to be going in and trying to make lots of little transactions on that system. The Replicat process only issues single row DML. So if you can imagine a source database that's generating hundreds of thousands of changes per second, we're going to have to have a Replicat process that can do 100,000 changes per second on that target site. That means that it's going to have to send a lot of little one record commands. And so we've got a lot of ways to optimize that. But in all situations you're really going to want very, very low ping time between that Replicat process and that target database. This often means that if you're going to be running GoldenGate in a cloud, you're going to want the Cloud GoldenGate environment to be running in that target data center, wherever that target database is. 02:06 Lois: What are the key characteristics of the process, Nick? Nick: Replicat process is going to read the changes from the trail file and then apply them to the target system, just like any database user would. It's not doing anything special where it's going under the covers and trying to apply directly to the database blocks. It's just applying regular standard insert, update, delete, and DDL statements to that target database. A single trail file does support high volume of data replication activity depending on the type of Replicat. Replicats do preserve the boundary of their transactions. So in the situations, by default, a transaction that's on the source, let's say five inserts followed by a commit will remain five inserts followed by a commit on the target site. There are some operations and changes that do affect this, but they're not turned on by default. There are things like group transactions that allows you to group multiple transactions into a single commit. This one could actually improve performance in some cases. We also have batch SQL that can change the boundaries of a transaction as well. And then in a Parallel Replicat, you actually have the ability to split a large transaction into multiple chunks and apply those chunks in Parallel. So again, by default, it's going to preserve the boundaries, but there are ways to change that. And then the Replicats use a checkpoint table to help with recovery and to know where they're applying data and what they've done. The other thing in here is, like an Extract process can write to multiple trails and write subsets of data to each one, a Replicat can only process a single set of trail files at once. So it's going to be attached to a specific trail file like trail file AB, and will only be able to read changes from trail file AB. If I have multiple trails that need to be applied into a target system, then I have to set up multiple Replicats to handle that. 03:54 Nikita: So, what are the different Replicat types, Nick? Nick: We have three types in the product today. We have Classic Replicat, which should really only be used for testing purposes or in environments that don't support any of the other specialized Replicats. We have Coordinated Replicat, which is a high speed apply mechanism to apply data into a target system. It does have some parallelism in it, but it's user defined parallelism. And then we have our flagship and that's Parallel Replicat. And this is the most performant lowest latency Replicat that we have. 04:25 Lois: Ok. Let's dive a little deeper into each of them, starting with the Classic Replicat. How does it work? Nick: It's pretty straightforward. You're going to have a process that reads the trail files, and then in a single threaded fashion it's going to take the trail file logical change record, convert it to an insert, update, or delete, and then apply it into that target database. Each transaction that it does is preceded by a change to the checkpoint table. So when the transaction that the Replicat is currently doing is committed, that checkpoint table update also gets committed. That way when the Replicat restarts, it knows exactly what transaction it left off and how it last applied the record. And all the Replicats work the same way with regards to checkpoint tables. They each have their own little method of ensuring that the transaction they're applying is also reflected within the checkpoint table so that when it restarts, it knows exactly where it happened. That way, if a Replicat dies in the middle of a transaction, it can be restarted without any duplicate data or without missing data. 05:29 Did you know that Oracle University offers free courses on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? You'll find training on everything from multicloud, database, networking, and security to artificial intelligence and machine learning, all free for our subscribers. So, what are you waiting for? Pick a topic, head over to mylearn.oracle.com, and get started. 05:53 Nikita: Welcome back! Moving on, what about Coordinated Replicat? Nick: The Coordinated Replicat is going to read from a set of trail files. It's going to have multiple threads that do this. So you have your base thread, your coordinated thread that's going to be thread 1. It's going to process the data and apply it into that target database. You then have thread 2, 4, 5, 6, and so on. When you set up your Replicat parameter file for a Coordinated Replicat, the map commands that maps from one table on the source to a table on the target has an additional option. So you'll have an option called a range or thread range. With the range and thread range option, you can actually tell which table to go into which thread. 06:38 Lois: Can you give us an example of this? Nick: So I could say map Scott.M into thread 1 and I want Scott.Dept into thread 2. Well, this is fantastic until you realize that Scott.M and Scott.Dept have a foreign key between them or a child dependencies, parent-child relationships. What that means is that now I'm going to have to disable that foreign key on the target site, because there's no way for GoldenGate to coordinate the changes in one thread to another thread. And so you really have to be careful on how you pair your tables together. If you don't have any referential integrity on that target database, then you can use parallel coordinated Replicat to really high degrees of parallelism, and you get some very good performance out of it. Let's say that you have a table that's really got too much data for even a single thread to process, that's where the thread range comes in. And thread range command will use something like the table's primary key to split transactions on that table across multiple threads. So I can say, hey, take my table Scott.M and I want to spread transactions across threads 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 and then spread them evenly based on the primary key. And Coordinated Replicat will do that. So you can get some very high performance numbers out of it and you can really fine tune the tables, especially if you know the amount of data coming into each one. While this does work great, we observed that a lot of customers really don't know their applications to that level of detail, and so we needed a different method to push data into that target database, where we could define the parallelism based on the database expectations. So instead of the customer having to try and figure out what are the parent-child relationships, why can't GoldenGate do it for me? And that led to Parallel Replicat. 08:26 Nikita: And what are the benefits and features of the Parallel Replicat process? Nick: So Parallel Replicat has been around for quite a few years now. It supports most targets, it was Oracle initially, but now it's been expanded out to a lot of the non-Oracle targets and even some of the nonrelational database targets. It has absolutely the best performance of any Replicat process out there. You can use it to split large transactions as well. So if all of a sudden you have a batch job that does a million inserts followed by a single commit, I can split that across 10 threads, each thread doing 100,000 inserts. And it's aware of your transaction dependencies, that's the cool thing. So in Coordinated Replicat, you had to worry about how to split your tables up, in Parallel Replicat, we do it for you. 09:11 Lois: And how does Parallel Replicat work? Nick: So there's three main processes to the Parallel Replicat. You have your first is the mapper process. This is going to be responsible for taking the data out of the trail files and putting them into kind of our collator and scheduler box. As transactions go from the trail file, they get put into this box in memory where they're processed. There's a collator process that will look at these processes and go, OK, as they're coming in, let me read some of the data in them to determine how they can be applied in Parallel or not. And so the collator process understands the foreign key dependencies on that target database. And it's able to say, hey, I know that my two tables are these two tables, have a parent-child relationship, I need to make sure that changes on those tables go in the correct order. And so if all of a sudden you see an insert using the parent record and then another insert into the child record and they're mapped together, GoldenGate will ensure that those two transactions go serially and not parallel where they could get applied out of order. There's then a scheduler process that's going to look at this and say, OK, now that I'm taking transactions from the collator process, who's already identified whether or not transactions can be applied in parallel or serial, and I'm going to feed them off to applier processes that are ready and waiting for me to apply those changes into the database. And then the applier process is waiting for the scheduler process to send its transactions and say, OK, what's my next one? Where's the next transaction I should be working on and applying? And then the applier process is the one actually applying the changes into that target database, again, just using standard DML operations. So there's a lot of benefits to this one. You don't need to worry about your foreign key dependencies, you can leave all your foreign keys enabled. The collator process will actually use information within the trail file to determine which transactions can be applied in parallel, and which one needs to be applied serially. 11:13 Lois: Thank you, Nick, for this insightful conversation. There's loads more to discover about the Replicat process, and you can do that by heading over to mylearn.oracle.com and searching for the Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals course.

Pauline Voss ist Buchautorin und seit Kurzem Chefreporterin für Debatten beim Online-Medium News. Nach einer journalistischen Ausbildung mit Volontariat bei der NZZ, wo sie insgesamt drei Jahre arbeitete, hat sie sich durch kritische Analysen profiliert. Parallel dazu hat sie das Buch „Generation Krokodilstränen“ über die Machttechniken der Woke-Bewegung veröffentlicht. Im Gespräch erläutert Pauline Voss die Hintergründe ihrer jüngsten Doku „NGO-Komplex“ und stellt die provokante Frage: Wie unabhängig sind NGOs, die staatliche Fördergelder nutzen, um politische Narrative zu stützen? Die Moderatorin zitiert den dramatischen Untertitel „Sie nehmen dein Geld, sie brechen deinen Willen“ und fragt, wo die Grenze zwischen legitimer Demokratieförderung und parteipolitischer Agitation verläuft. Sie kritisiert, dass diese Programme häufig dazu genutzt werden, Stimmung gegen bestimmte Oppositionsparteien zu machen, statt Zivilgesellschaft neutral zu stärken.
Die 75%-Abschreibung nach § 7 Abs. 2a EStG bei E-Fahrzeugen birgt enormes Gestaltungspotenzial – ein 100.000 Euro teures E-Auto das überwiegend privat gefahren wird, kann einen Steuervorteil von über 30.000 Euro ermöglichen. Besonders interessant ist das wenn das Unternehmen abschließend steuergunstig verkauft oder aufgegeben wird. Gleichzeitig bieten Arbeitgeber-Förderungen bei Ladevorrichtungen interessante steuerliche Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Die Episode beleuchtet drei Fördermodelle: Überlassung nach § 3 Nr. 46 EStG bleibt vollständig steuer- und beitragsfrei, wenn das zusätzlich z laufenden Gehalt erfolgt nach § 8 Abs. 4 EStG. Eine 1.000 Euro Wallbox kann somit komplett steuerfrei überlassen werden. Bei der Übereignung entsteht ein Sachbezug nach § 8 Abs. 2 EStG, bewertet mit 96% des Endpreises abzüglich Zuzahlungen. Zuschüsse können individuell versteuert oder pauschaliert werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Pauschalierung nach § 40 Abs. 2 Nr. 6 EStG mit 25% Lohnsteuer ohne Sozialabgaben. Parallel droht durch Section 899 aus dem US-“One Big Beautiful Bill” ab Juli 2025 eine zusätzliche Quellensteuer von bis zu 20% auf Dividenden und Zinsen für deutsche Investoren. Bei 1.000 Euro Dividende verbleiben statt 750 Euro nur noch 550 Euro netto. Unternehmen mit US-Bezu sowie Anleger mit US-Aktien und US-ETF wären betroffen.

Sun Silver (ASX: SS1) positions itself as the most leveraged silver stock on the ASX. The company's Maverick Springs Project already has a very big resource with scope to continue growing while upgrading the inferred resource to indicated status, carrying out metallurgical studies and preparing for a scoping study. ---- Produced by Resource Media ---- The Hole Truth: Mining Investment Podcast is a product of Read Corporate.

Sun Silver is the most leveraged silver play on the ASX Sun Silver owns the largest primary pre-production silver asset in the US, Maverick Springs, with a resource of 480Moz at 68.29g/t. Despite this, the company trades at just $0.16 per in-ground ounce, compared to ~$1 on the ASX and ~$2 on North American exchanges — highlighting a significant valuation gap and investment opportunity. 2. Silver demand is booming — and supply can't keep up The silver market is in supply deficit, driven by increased demand from solar panels, AI data centres, and solid-state batteries (which could alone require up to 150Moz/year by 2030). Silver's dual role — as an industrial metal and monetary hedge — is gaining traction, with growing recognition of its critical role in green energy and economic uncertainty. 3. Parallel workstreams are accelerating project value Sun Silver is advancing infill drilling, metallurgical testing, and resource expansion simultaneously. A second near-surface resource is expected soon, enabling possible early revenue and reducing pre-production capital costs. A scoping study is targeted for Q2 2026, assessing multiple processing routes to maximise recovery and value. 4. The ASX still undervalues silver — but that may change fast Australian investors are still warming up to silver, much like they were with lithium a decade ago. Dornan believes silver will eventually be classified as a critical mineral, and as awareness grows, capital will follow the opportunity, especially with a supportive silver price environment and growing M&A activity in the sector.

With the NFL now in its dead period, it's time to go back into deep space to explore the NFL's Multiverse also known as the Parallel Gridiron. For 5 weeks, we'll be exploring 5 unique alternate NFL realities simply by asking the question of what if? These 5 unique alternate realities will have their own teams and players in focus and of course there will be a unique beer pairing for each alternate NFL timeline we'll be exploring. These timelines will each show us their own unique alternate NFL reality in where events turned out differently than they did in our timeline. So, join me in this preview as we prepare for a 5-week journey back into the Parallel Gridiron.

We're living through truly extraordinary times—not simply because things are changing, but because of how breathtakingly fast those changes are happening. Take artificial intelligence: it's no longer some futuristic buzzword from a sci-fi movie; it's already reshaping our lives, economies, and even how we relate to each other. But here's what's really mind-blowing: artificial general intelligence is just around the corner. This isn't the kind of gradual innovation we're used to—it's a complete overhaul. AGI promises to rewrite the rules of entire industries practically overnight, delivering changes more profound and rapid than anything humanity has ever experienced. Forget the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, or even the dawn of the internet—this transformation could eclipse them all, and do it faster than any of us can imagine. Parallel to the AI revolution, Bitcoin has had its own remarkable story. Just a little over a decade ago, it was an obscure digital experiment—dismissed by mainstream finance as a tech nerd's hobby, virtual Monopoly money with no real-world impact. Fast-forward to today, and Bitcoin has completely transformed. Countries like El Salvador now officially recognize Bitcoin as legal tender. Sovereign wealth funds—from Singapore to the Middle East—are quietly stacking it into their national reserves. Big corporations like MicroStrategy have turned conventional treasury management upside down, boldly choosing Bitcoin as their primary reserve asset. Bitcoin's journey from fringe curiosity to essential financial infrastructure underscores a major shift in how we store, exchange, and even define value worldwide. And it's not just technology and finance that are seeing these seismic shifts; geopolitics and economic strategies are also entering uncharted waters. With the Trump administration back in power, we're witnessing a total rewrite of the traditional economic playbook. Tariffs, once cautiously applied economic tools, are now wielded boldly, reshaping global alliances and challenging decades-old partnerships. Long-standing allies like Canada and Europe now find themselves in more transactional relationships, while surprising new economic partnerships emerge based purely on pragmatism. This rapidly evolving landscape is generating unprecedented uncertainty—but also enormous opportunity. So how do you make sure you end up on the winning side of this historic transformation? By actively educating yourself, staying ahead of the curve, and positioning yourself to prosper. I've always made it my mission to anticipate where things are headed—and more importantly, to share that vision with you. Back in 2017, I first introduced Bitcoin to you when it traded below $5K. Today, with Bitcoin over $100K, I'm more convinced than ever that we'll see it hit $1 million within the next five years. The conversations I'm having make it seem inevitable. It's those conversations you need to be a part of—either having them yourself or listening to them through podcasts like mine. A good place to start is this week's Wealth Formula Podcast, where I talk with Anthony Pompliano, better known as Pomp.
AHAB OBVIOUSLY didn't wear the pants in his family. This week, we discuss the episode of Naboth's vineyard. Ahab pouted because Naboth refused to sell it to the king. Jezebel solved that problem by writing an order using Ahab's royal seal—an early example of the autopen?—falsely accusing Naboth of cursing God and Ahab (an early example of lawfare!). For this sin, Elijah was told by God to let Ahab know that his days were numbered and that his dynasty would end with his son. 1 Kings 22 gives us an example of the divine council in action: “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; 20 and the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, saying, ‘I will entice him.' 22 And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?' And he said, ‘I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, ‘You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go out and do so.' (1 Kings 22:19–22, ESV) It goes without saying that God knew how this would play out. And He certainly didn't need the help of this unnamed spirit to carry out His will. God created the divine council for the same reason He created you and us: He desires family. NOTE: We will be at the Mysteries of the BibleVerse conference in Indianapolis next weekend.

In today's episode we are discussing the "double hard." This is when partners are in the same position in each cycle. When the emotional pursuer is also the sexual pursuer and the emotional withdrawer is also the sexually withdrawer, partners have a doubly hard time accessing the other's internal world. The pursuer gets double rejected and the withdrawer gets double the pressure. These cycles can lead to more polarization, more rigidity and the feeling of speaking different languages. Hosts, Laurie and George will guide listeners through each partner's dilemma in parallel cycles. Through an excellent role play you will learn the motivation under the protective move and how to craft a better and more attuned conversation if your relationship experiences parallel positions in the emotional and sexual cycles. Partners are encouraged to get more curious with what is going on inside and try to experience their partner's position in a different way. We hope our parallel position couples find some encouragement and hope in this episode! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Good Alfacast friend, Ole Dammegard, one of the pioneers of the early truth seeking era, recently introduced us to a fellow traveler well in the flow of the consciousness shift presently approaching critical mass. Parallel to our own leanings, he understands the 'solution' as an internal journey backed by a bit of altruism and elbow grease. On this episode we're delighted to host Brad Laughlin, author of Living with Enlightenment—A Journey of Love, which is about his 30-year life-partnership with Leslie Temple-Thurston, a teacher of enlightenment, and the profound spiritual transformation he experienced. Brad's core work is about helping people to awaken spiritually and to find love, joy and inspiration during these times of great change. Using ancient Truth teachings, yogic principles and spiritual psychology, he offers simple yet powerful practices for transformation. One aspect of Brad's work includes interspecies communication, which opens us to the understanding that we are not separate individuals but that our thoughts and feelings are shared and we are all connected at another level of consciousness. Brad and Leslie are co-founders of the nonprofit, CoreLight.org. Their humanitarian arm, Seeds of Light.org, serves marginalized communities in South Africa, including orphans and vulnerable children. Please join us as Brad shares his inspirational journey, and how each one of us can make a difference when we cease to look "outside".

In 1858, six-year-old Edgardo Mortara is forcibly removed from his family's home in accordance with civil and canon law. His Jewish family's legal appeal invokes, to great effect, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. Dr. Matthew Tapie and former Heights teacher Dr. Lionel Yaceczko join us this week to pull apart this difficult case with the assistance of St. Thomas, who gives a theological basis for parental authority in accordance with natural law—a useful perspective for our culture today.

In this episode, Alison Berreman reflects on what the early church's response to empire can teach us today. Using Acts 11 and 12, she contrasts the resilience of Christian communities with the dependence and idolatry of state power. With honesty and nuance, Alison explores the tension of living faithfully in a time when empire and Christianity are deeply entangled. What does it look like to create systems of care that reflect our values—without losing sight of our modern responsibility to those harmed in Christ's name? Join us as we sit with these questions together.Kindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization.

In this profound episode, I sit down with Steve Palmer to explore an experience few dare to discuss openly: the struggle to conquer ego-dystonic autogynephilia. Steve experiences his compulsions to cross-dress and engage in paraphilic behavior as contradictory to his sense of self and the moral values by which he chooses to live.Steve's story is one of remarkable resilience, tracing a journey from adolescent confusion through drug-induced psychosis to a hard-won spiritual transformation. A heterosexual man with a strong masculine core, he shares candidly about how early sexual imprinting and personal challenges created a complex internal landscape. Despite bullying, intrusive thoughts, and deep internal conflict, he chose a path of radical honesty and personal accountability.Through faith, discipline, and commitment to his marriage and family, Steve has found a way to manage these impulses without letting them define him. His journey challenges simplistic narratives about gender and sexuality, offering a nuanced perspective on overcoming deeply ingrained psychological patterns. He speaks openly about the role of spirituality in healing, the importance of gratitude, and the ongoing work of maintaining his sense of self.For men struggling with similar experiences, Steve offers a message of hope and resilience. His story demonstrates that recovery is possible – not through suppression, but through honest confrontation, spiritual guidance, and personal growth. While compulsions may persist, they need not control one's life or identity.This episode provides a profound exploration of masculinity, sexual identity, and human transformation. Steve's candid discussion offers compassion and understanding for those wrestling with similar struggles, showing how one can navigate complex internal experiences with integrity and purpose.Steve Palmer knows something of the pain and affliction common to men that struggle with autogynephilia. He has experienced near unrelenting inner conflict and pressure to conform to daily AGP desires since age 12. Years of inner struggle slowly led him to consider that embracing these desires fulltime was the only way to silence the storm within. Steve pursued answers through psychedelic experimentation and Buddhist practice in his early twenties. Drug induced and recurrent psychotic episodes followed. In his darkest hours he was willing to consider that maybe he was wrong about God. For the last 18 years he has trusted Jesus to show him how to live anew. Steve offers from experience how men struggling with AGP need not allow it to destroy their masculinity, their marriages, or their lives.Steve's Youtube Channel, Grace By Which I Stand[00:01:48] Hope and healing in struggles.[00:05:00] Hormone use and identity clash.[00:08:58] Internal struggles and self-identity.[00:12:09] Sexual addiction and recovery.[00:13:04] Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and conscientiousness.[00:17:36] Experiencing Buddhism through meditation.[00:20:55] Drug-induced psychosis recovery.[00:24:00] Truth vs. personal desire.[00:25:57] Spiritual vs. biological components of schizophrenia.[00:30:31] Spiritual agreements and deliverance.[00:32:10] Spiritual realm experiences and authority.[00:39:12] Nature of evil in ideology.[00:40:06] Grace requires honesty.[00:42:40] Gender identity and personal testimony.[00:46:35] Repression and identity struggle.[00:51:47] Erotic target location error.[00:56:55] Parallel play in relationships.[00:58:33] Overcoming personal struggles and growth.[01:01:25] Marriage as a gift from God.[01:06:40] Ego-dystonic vs. ego-syntonic.[01:09:40] Learning from transition experiences.[01:12:24] Support for men seeking honesty.[01:15:20] Forgiveness and personal growth.[01:19:12] Relationship transparency and struggles.[01:22:36] Masculine drive and self-soothing.[01:26:50] Overcoming personal challenges.[01:29:11] Consequences of personal choices.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Aviewer recently asked whether Gollum is a “grey” character oractually two characters in light of his apparent split personality,and it made me think about an interesting parallel with the otherextended internal debate in the story: Sam's debate over whether toleave Frodo in Cirith Ungol.

IT SEEMS odd to us, looking back across more than 2,800 years of history, that Elijah would run from Jezebel right after seeing what God had done on Mount Carmel. Well, it's easy to criticize. It's likely none of us would have done better in Elijah's place. We discuss how he was ministered to by the Angel of the Lord, the preincarnate Christ, while on the way to Horeb (Mount Sinai), and how God revealed Himself to Elijah in a way that was less than spectacular—especially after sending winds that tore the mountain, an earthquake, and fire. In the same way, we often expect God to show Himself to us in earth-shattering ways and miss the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. But while it's easy to criticize Elijah, we have to point out that Ahab, who likewise saw the miracle on Mount Carmel and miraculous victories over the Aramean armies of Syria still failed to follow the Lord's command—a mistake that ultimately meant the end of his kingdom.

Tamara recently took a travel agent FAM trip to Turks and Caicos and spent two nights at The Palms and two nights at The Shore Club. She also visited many other properties and today she shares her insights into each to help you decide where to stay in Turks and Caicos. Episode Highlights Turks and Caicos is known for its beautiful beaches and not for all-inclusives or as a party island Most of the hotels have great accommodations for families with 1, 2, 3-bedroom accommodations and up (including villa rentals) When arriving, be prepared for a long wait at passport control/immigration. Expect about an hour and longer on the weekends. When departing, leave 2-3 hours to get checked in and wait in the security line. There isn't a lot of room in the gate area but there is an area upstairs that has more space. To save time at the airport, you can pay for Fast Track access starting at $75 per person, each way. Private transfers from the airport are about $150 each way, but cabs can be $30+ per person for shared taxis. Taxis throughout the island are priced per person and are pricey. It is about a 15-20 minute drive from the PLS (Providenciales) to most of the hotels The Palms is on Grace Bay Beach (the most famous beach on the island). It is a luxury hotel with a lush, garden-like setting right on the beach. The style and decor is similar to Sandy Lane in Barbados, a colonial or plantation style. Tamara stayed in a one-bedroom suite oceanfront, which was huge with a full kitchen, living room, laundry, dining room, large balcony, bedroom with tons of closet space, and one and one-half bathrooms. They recently did a renovation at The Palms of rooms but also of the pool area and added a new pool/beach restaurant and pool bar (including a swim-up bar). The restaurants at The Palms were very good. Parallel 23 is fine dining and Sisi is modern Mexican. The Palms also has one of the best spas in the Caribbean The high season is during Festive (winter holidays) and President's Day weekend. The low season would be July-September Pricing in the Caribbean is quite high. The Shore Club is across the island on Long Bay Beach. There is a beach-to-beach package so that you can split your week vacation between the two properties. Long Bay Beach is breezy and very popular for kite surfing. The beach itself is narrow but long and The Shore Club has plenty of space to spread out. The water here is very calm and you can walk out very far, especially at low tide. Shore Club is also a luxury hotel and it has a sophisticated feel. There are villas and multi-bedroom accommodations that would be amazing for a girls' trip or multi-generational vacation. The one-bedroom oceanfront suite is huge and great for families with teens because there is a study that has a pull-out couch, full bathroom, and closets and a door that closes off from the rest of the space. There is another pull out couch in the living room. There is a sushi restaurant and a comfort food restaurant, plus pool bars and restaurants. There is a shuttle between the properties and also the four-star Sands property and guests have signing privileges for all the restaurants. The Alexandra Resort is a four-star, all-inclusive on Grace Bay next to The Palms with multi-bedroom suites and restaurants The Wymara Resort has a South Beach, sexy vibe that would be great for couples and honeymooners but the rooms are a bit smaller The Ritz-Carlton is a high-rise hotel with a smaller beach. The second tower is for Ritz-Carlton Residences and you can't use or earn points for the Residences. They are building an Andaz and St. Regis on Turks and Caicos now too. The H20 Resort on Long Bay Beach is a small boutique hotel that is good for people that are independent travelers and enjoy watersports as they have a kite surfing school and tons of rentals. Tamara is going back to Turks and Caicos in the fall for a Family Travel Association conference at Beaches Turks and Caicos (stay tuned!!) On Thursday nights there is a fish fry with food trucks, music, and artisans/souvenir vendors. The Junkanoo band performs and it is such a lot of fun. You can island hop by ferry or plane (but there is a separate terminal for domestic flights) You can also go scuba diving, snorkeling, charter a boat for fishing or island hopping, or boat out to the tiki bar off Long Bay Beach.
THE REBEL WATCHERS of the Book of 1 Enoch were described as “burning mountains” in a chasm so vast there was no end to the height or the depth. These were identified by the archangel Uriel as “the angels who mingled with the women,” who will remain there until the final judgment. This is consistent with the description of the sinful angels who are “kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day” (Jude 6). We discuss other biblical references to angels as mountains and “stones of fire,” as in Ezekiel 28:14. The father-god of Mesopotamia, called Enlil, Dagan (Dagon), Assur, and El depending on location, was called “Great Mountain,” and his temples in Babylon and Assyria were called “House of the Mountain.” We think this is the “great mountain” in Zechariah 4:7, and the custom of calling angels burning mountains suggests that the “great mountain, burning with fire,” the second trumpet judgment of Revelation 8:8, is an angelic being, not a space rock. The other fascinating aspect of Enoch's journey to the west and north is that he reached these spirits after crossing the Great Sea. While that's probably a reference to the Mediterranean, it also suggests that the burning mountains were the Watchers who rebelled and compelled God to banish them to the Abyss when He sent the Flood of Noah.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Samantha Boss—divorce coach, parenting advocate, and truth-teller behind “The Ugly Truth of Divorce.” Samantha shares her raw, unfiltered journey through a high-conflict divorce, co-parenting with a diagnosed narcissist, and the long road to healing—not just for herself, but for her children. We talk about the parts of divorce no one prepares you for: the manipulation, the guilt, the courtroom chaos, and the silent trauma children absorb when parents are too overwhelmed to see the signs. This episode isn't just for those navigating divorce. It's a masterclass in emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and reclaiming your parenting power in the face of chaos. If you're struggling to co-parent with someone toxic—or you feel like you've lost yourself trying to keep the peace—this conversation will bring clarity, courage, and hope.
THE SHOWDOWN on Mount Carmel is even more spectacular than we've been taught. The story is sensational on its surface: The prophet Elijah, one of the few prophets of God still active in the northern kingdom of Israel, tells King Ahab to his face that there will be no rain until Elijah says so. Then he flees from the king and hides out for three years. During that time, the prophet was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith somewhere east of the Jordan until the drought caused the stream to dry up. Then Elijah traveled to Phoenicia and lodged with a widow of Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Because of the famine, she was prepared to make one last meal and then starve to death with her son (or children, according to the Septuagint). Miraculously, the woman did not run out of flour or oil during the entire time Elijah stayed with her. The account of the miracle of Elijah bringing the widow's son back from the dead has a deeper meaning when you understand a little of the religion of the Phoenicians (who were Canaanites, which in turn is just a geographic designation for the Amorites in Canaan). The patron deity of Sidon was Eshmun, the Phoenician name for the Greek demigod Asclepius. The Greeks believed Asclepius was the half-divine son of Apollo, a healer of such skill that he was able to cure death. (This led Hades to complain to Zeus that Asclepius was disrupting the natural order of things, so Zeus killed Asclepius.) The point is this: God, through Elijah, demonstrated that He, Yahweh, was the one God who truly has power over life and death. Likewise, Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal has a deeper meaning. This was a literal battle between Yahweh and the Baal worshipped by Jezebel and her pagan father, Ethbaal, king of Tyre. Ethbaal was a priest of Astarte, the Canaanite version of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex and war (which explains a lot about Jezebel). The kicker is that the Baal of Tyre was probably Melqart, which was the Phoenician name for Herakles—better known to us as Hercules. This explains some of Elijah's taunts while Jezebel's prophets danced, shouted, and cut themselves to summon their small-G god. It also helps us understand why Elijah had twelve vessels of water poured over the sacrifice and the wood on the altar. It didn't just represent the twelve tribes of Israel and make the sacrifice more difficult to burn, it mocked a libation (drink offering) ritual called yarid that is documented in Jewish and Roman texts and inscriptions as late as the 3rd century AD, when Emperor Diocletian performed the yarid at Tyre for Hercules! This also connects to Mount Hermon, where scholars Edward Lipiński and Charles Clermont-Ganneau noted, based on the site drawing by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 (when he discovered the Watcher Stone in a temple near the peak of the mountain), that the summit of Hermon is scooped out like a giant bowl—probably to receive these offerings. Lipiński wrote that this means the Watchers, led by Shemihazah, did not descend in the days of Jared, but in the days when the yarid was performed on the mountain. So, Elijah's actions on Mount Carmel were directed not just at Baal or Melqart/Hercules, but at the “sons of God” who long ago tried to take dominion of Earth away from the children of Adam and Eve.
