From C.S. Lewis to Luka Dončić: Celebrating Joy in Unexpected Places On this Christmas-season Good Faith episode, host Curtis Chang welcomes back "founding friend" David French to showcase how he can give thanks in all circumstances even amid a depressing news cycle. Through five surprising "gratitudes" (from Dune and Luka Dončić to family healing and C.S. Lewis), the conversation offers a timely guide to cultivating Christian joy, resilience, and hope in anxious times. French shares why his hope isn't rooted in a "five-point plan," but in the character of God and the "light and high beauty" that can break through dark moments—even illustrated by a powerful story of forgiveness after a Michigan church shooting.

This epsiode is brought ot you by Quickbooks, Audible and Caldera Lab. What if the most important financial decision you ever make has nothing to do with investing, real estate, or your career—but who you choose as your partner? In this powerful episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with attorney, financial expert, and author Pattie Ehsaie for a no-nonsense conversation about money, power, relationships, and financial independence—especially for women. Pattie breaks down why "never falling in love with potential" isn't cold, it's practical; why money remains the number one cause of relationship failure; and how financial independence is not about greed, but freedom. Drawing from her own journey as an immigrant, lawyer, and self-made financial authority, Pattie shares hard truths about hustle, mindset, modern dating dynamics, the "lonely male epidemic," stealth wealth, prenups, and why owning your financial future is the ultimate form of personal sovereignty.

Faith is essential for entrepreneurs because it gives us confidence and assurance that what God has placed in our hearts will happen, even when we see no evidence yet. Faith transforms a God-given vision into action, as seen in Abel, Noah, Abraham, and Sarah, who obeyed God despite uncertainty, delay, or seeming impossibility. Their faith led them to trust and move forward without having all the details, and God honored their obedience. Without faith, it is impossible to please God, because faith believes He is faithful and rewards those who seek Him. That is why entrepreneurs must build their faith daily through God's Word, so they can trust what He has spoken, take action, and step into the success He has promised.

Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show, where we explore culture, politics, and entertainment through a prophetic and Biblical lens. We don't just react to headlines — we slow down and ask deeper questions. What's opinion? What's truth? And what is spiritually energized beneath the surface? We're living in a moment where political wars, cultural wars, and spiritual wars are colliding. When everything overlaps like this, it's not enough to simply pick a side. Scripture calls us to discernment — to judge fruit, test the spirits, and walk in both truth and love. In today's episode, we step into some of the most complex and emotional conversations happening right now. We'll talk about conflict inside the conservative movement, accusations and conspiracies, grief, and the way spiritual language is being used publicly — sometimes wisely, sometimes recklessly. But this isn't just a heavy conversation. We'll also look at something hope-filled: a surprising moment in mainstream entertainment where faith and the story of Jesus are being spoken about openly during the Christmas season. Even in tension and chaos, God is still breaking through. Let's talk about what's really happening — and how to respond with wisdom, courage, and hope.

From utero and into infancy, babies recognize their mother as being essentially one with them. So, being placed in their father's arms is in fact their first introduction to the "other," the outside world. The father will continue this crucial role as mediator and representative to the outside world throughout a boy's childhood. With decades of experience and dozens of personal anecdotes, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan addressed the 2025 Fatherhood Conference to share how a father's parenting outlook now will shape his son's vocational and professional readiness to enter the outside world as an adult.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Hoff, a seasoned mortgage pro who just made a career move that many loan officers quietly think about but rarely act on: shifting from mortgage banker to mortgage broker. Shannon spent 20 years on the banking side, working with only six companies over two decades — and two of those closed their doors. In an industry known for turnover, her track record of stability is rare. That's exactly why her decision to make the switch is such a powerful story. We dig into: What finally pushed her to explore the broker world The biggest surprises (good and bad) after leaving the banking model The key differences she wishes she'd understood earlier How control, product diversity, and borrower solutions factored into her move What she'd tell any loan officer considering the same jump Shannon's journey is honest, grounded, and refreshingly drama-free — no burning bridges, no "banker bashing," just real insight from someone who took the leap after two decades of loyalty. If you're a loan officer wondering whether the broker channel is worth exploring, this episode is like a flashlight in a dark attic… except with fewer spider webs.

What if 2026 is not just another year — but a divine turning point on multiple fronts?!In this episode of our ongoing series of Prophetic Words for 2026, Robert is joined by Jes Pichardo who releases a timely prophecy for 2026 that speaks directly to the economy, the Church, and a coming move of the Holy Spirit. You'll hear about a significant financial shift – including insight into the housing market, car prices, and what appears to be a strong buyers market. Beyond economics, this prophetic word declares that 2026 will be marked by church restoration and a fresh outpouring of fire. After a year of exposure, God is bringing justice, healing, and restoration to faithful leaders. This revival prophecy echoes themes of the next great awakening, surpassing even historic moves like the Jesus People Movement and the Brownsville Revival. A true end time revival is coming, marked by the fire of God, and a tangible outpouring of the Holy Spirit.Jes also shares how mysteries of God revealed will define this season. A deep prophetic revelation is unfolding, including insight into the Godhead, and a growing hunger in the Body of Christ. Perhaps most powerfully, Jes reveals how a supernatural mass deliverance movement is about to break out. We are entering a season where freedom in the Holy Spirit will touch cities, families, and individuals. From addiction deliverance to streets transformed by the power of God – this is a fulfillment of the promise that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is FREEDOM.This charismatic prophetic teaching and prophetic interview brings together the voices of Jes Pichardo and Robert Hotchkin to equip, encourage, and prepare you for what's ahead.

In dieser Episode des Kassenzone.de-Podcasts betrachte ich gemeinsam mit Florian die faszinierenden Vorhersagen für das Jahr 2026. Wir beginnen mit einem Rückblick auf die Vorhersagen aus unserer vorherigen Episode, die wir Ende 2024 aufgenommen hatten, und analysieren, welche unserer Aussagen sich bewahrheitet haben und wo wir danebenlagen. Wir gehen auf Julians Gedanken ein, der bereits seine Prognosen für 2024 formuliert hatte und dessen Einschätzungen für 2026 ebenfalls zur Sprache kommen. Florian und ich reflektieren über unsere Wochenerlebnisse, wobei Florian stolz erwähnt, dass er auf der Midas-Liste, einer Rangliste von Investoren, gelandet ist, was seine aktuelle Relevanz in der Branche unterstreicht. Dieses Thema führt zu einer Diskussion über den Venture-Capital-Markt, den Kostendruck, der viele Unternehmen betrifft und die Veränderungen, die wir in den Geschäftsmodellen beobachten. Vor allem die Kostensenkungsstrategien in der IT-Branche werden zu einem zentralen Thema, da viele Unternehmen gezwungen sind, ihre Budgets neu zu evaluieren und effizientere Lösungen wie unsere Plattform anzunehmen. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist der zunehmende Druck des Agentic Commerce. Wir besprechen die Entwicklungen im E-Commerce-Bereich, insbesondere wie Unternehmen ihre Geschäftsmodelle anpassen müssen, um im aktuellen Markt wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Die Rolle von AI und intelligenten Systemen wird entscheidend für den Erfolg in diesem Segment, und ich äußere meine Ansichten über die Herausforderungen und Chancen, die dies mit sich bringt. Als wir uns den Vorhersagen für 2026 zuwenden, bringe ich einige meiner eigenen Thesen ein. Ich erwarte, dass die Marktbedingungen sich verschärfen und es vermehrt zu Insolvenzen kommen wird, da viele Mittelständler nicht in der Lage sind, sich den neuen wirtschaftlichen Realitäten anzupassen. Die Diskrepanz zwischen großen Technologiefirmen und kleineren Unternehmen wird sich weiter vergrößern. Faszinierend ist auch Julians These, dass Agenten in Unternehmen, die zunehmend autonomer werden, ernsthafte Arbeitskräfte ersetzen könnten. Ich äußere meine Skepsis, ob dies in der Komplexität der Implementierung so schnell und reibungslos geschehen kann, jedoch erkenne ich das Potenzial, das sich hier befindet. Wir haben auch einen Blick auf die Werte und Aktien von großen Technologieunternehmen, insbesondere Google und Nvidia, und diskutieren darüber, wie sich die Marktdynamik in den kommenden Jahren entwickeln könnte. Dies unterstreicht die Tatsache, dass trotz unserer Überlegungen zur Zukunft, die Veränderungen in der technischen Landschaft rasant voranschreiten.

My partner doesn't feel loved—Dr. Alexandra Stockwell explores why this happens and how to help him feel emotionally seen and cared for without losing yourself in the process. Dr. Alexandra offers a calm, grounded path toward rebuilding desire, understanding, and connection. Give your marriage the gift of deeper connection this holiday season.
The holidays naturally inspire generosity. As Christians, we feel a heightened awareness of need—empty tables, struggling families, and financial hardship made more visible by the contrast of celebration all around us. And that impulse to give is good.But God calls us to something deeper.True, Christ-centered generosity goes beyond a one-time act of charity. It invites us to walk alongside people in ways that restore dignity, build hope, and reflect God's heart for renewal—not just during Christmas, but throughout the year.To explore what that kind of generosity looks like in practice, we sat down with Lisa Sheltra, Director of Community Engagement at Salt & Light, a ministry committed to helping without hurting by empowering individuals rather than creating dependency.A Biblical Vision for Deeper GenerosityScripture sets the tone for how we approach generosity. “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:4). That verse reminds us that generosity is inherently relational. It's not just about meeting needs—it's about entering into someone's life with humility and care.Lisa explained that while giving material help is often necessary, biblical generosity must flow from our relationship with Christ. God's model for giving isn't transactional. It's restorative.She pointed to John 3:16 as the ultimate framework for generosity. When God gave, He didn't offer something temporary or superficial—He gave His Son to address our deepest brokenness and bring true flourishing. If our generosity reflects God's heart, it should aim not only to relieve immediate pain but to support long-term restoration, reconciliation, and community.Many churches and families feel pressure in December to focus heavily on relief efforts—food drives, toy collections, clothing donations. These are good and often necessary responses, especially in moments of crisis.But Lisa cautioned that relief, by its nature, creates a giver-receiver imbalance. When relief becomes the default instead of the exception, it can unintentionally harm both sides of the relationship. It can reduce people to passive recipients and rob them of agency, dignity, and participation.Relief is best understood as a tourniquet—it stops the bleeding in an emergency. But most ongoing struggles, including those we notice during the holidays, are not emergencies. They are development needs, requiring long-term walking together, not repeated short-term fixes.Relief vs. Development: Understanding the DifferenceSalt & Light works closely with principles championed by the Chalmers Center, which emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between relief and development.Relief addresses urgent, immediate crises.Development focuses on long-term growth, dignity, and restored relationships.During the holidays, what looks like an emergency is often a symptom of a deeper, ongoing struggle. Repeated relief may feel satisfying to the giver, but it rarely moves families toward lasting stability or community.Development, on the other hand, invites people to use their own gifts, make their own choices, and participate fully in solutions. It treats individuals not as problems to fix, but as image-bearers with capacity and value.At Salt & Light, empowerment isn't seasonal—it's woven into everyday ministry. Participants invest in the program year-round and are treated not as charity cases, but as customers and guests with agency.Rather than handing out preselected gifts, families can choose items for their loved ones. That choice matters deeply. Lisa shared that many participants have said, “This is the first Christmas in years I've been able to buy gifts for my family myself.”That shift—from receiving charity to exercising choice—restores dignity in powerful ways.A Better Path for ChurchesFor churches wanting to steward holiday generosity wisely, Lisa offered several practical insights:Partner with ministries already practicing development. You don't need to reinvent the wheel.Encourage relational volunteering, not just donation drives.Support year-round ministries, not just seasonal projects.Use the holidays as an on-ramp, connecting people's enthusiasm for giving to sustainable, ongoing involvement.The goal isn't to do more—it's to do good in ways that last.What This Looks Like for IndividualsMany believers want to help but fear causing harm. The answer isn't to stop giving—it's to give differently.Lisa encouraged individuals to approach generosity with humility and a willingness to learn. We don't need perfect solutions. We need presence, patience, listening ears, and respect for dignity.She reminded us that kingdom impact isn't measured by numbers alone. While it may feel impressive to count meals served or gifts distributed, God's metrics are relational. Sometimes faithfulness looks like doing for one what we wish we could do for everyone.When asked to leave listeners with one guiding principle beyond the Christmas season, Lisa said it simply and beautifully:“See others as image-bearers of God—people with gifts, agency, and dignity. Come alongside them, not as fixers, but as fellow participants in God's work of renewal.”When we give in ways that honor dignity and foster genuine connection, we don't just meet needs—we participate in God's redemptive work.To learn more about Salt & Light and their dignity-centered approach to helping others, visit SaltandLightMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I owned my land before I got married, and my husband isn't on the deed. But after we got married, the tax office automatically added his name to the property tax statement.

Where do you go when God feels distant—even though everyone says He's “with you”?In this honest episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Bob Marvel to talk about the deeply personal and sometimes confusing reality of Immanuel—God with us. Bob shares about seasons when God felt hard to sense, dismantling the myth that pastors have a “fast pass” to God. Through stories, theology, and lived experience, he offers insight on God's nearness, spiritual dryness, false assumptions about faith, and how to meet God where you actually are—not where you think you should be. Whether you're longing for God, walking through doubt, or feeling spiritually hungry, this episode will remind you that God has not moved—and He is closer than you think.Meet Pastor Bob MarvelPastor Bob Marvel has served as Senior Pastor of Cornwall Church for nearly 30 years and comes from a third-generation ministry family. A passionate teacher and shepherd, Bob has helped shape countless lives through his honest, Scripture-rooted approach to faith. His life and leadership reflect a deep love for Jesus, the local church, and helping people encounter a God who is truly present.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy God can feel distant even when Scripture promises He is nearThe myths we believe about who God is “with”—and who He isn'tWhy pastors don't have a closer connection to God than anyone elseHow Jesus revealed God's nearness to the overlooked and unlikelyWhere to look for God when you feel spiritually dry or desperatePractical ways to move toward God when you don't even know where to startHow This Episode Will Encourage YouIf you've ever felt like God must be disappointed in you, far from you, or accessible to everyone but you, this episode will gently reframe everything you think you know about His presence. You'll be reminded that God does not wait for you to get it together—He draws near right where you are, offering love, hope, and Himself.Love this episode? Partner with Us!Love what Collide is doing?

On today's episode, Dan Kaufman, Partner at Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC, based in Atlanta, breaks down why equity can be the biggest compensation bet a board makes and how to spot when that bet is getting too expensive.Key Takeaways:00:00 Introduction.02:33 Equity programs need board oversight because expense and dilution directly affect shareholders.04:49 Run rate tracks annual shares granted versus common shares outstanding.07:06 Share price swings can inflate run rate, so benchmark total grant value against peers, revenue or profit.10:21 Equity depth in the org and vehicle mix are major drivers of dilution.10:56 Stock options usually require more shares than full-value awards to deliver the same value.15:33 To stretch a low reserve, shift equity mix, use more cash, delay or split grants, or use inducement awards for new hires.24:23 Even if proxy advisors flag a plan, reasonable share requests typically pass with proactive shareholder outreach.This episode is brought to you by Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC.

We're capping off Season 2 with a must-listen discussion on patient trust, AI and consent. In this episode, we're joined by Chad Brouillard, medical malpractice defense trial attorney at Foster & Eldridge, LLP to explore the risks, benefits, and legal realities of AI in healthcare. As artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in clinical care, the process around informed consent is evolving in real time. We examine what this means for patients, healthcare leaders, clinicians, and risk managers. We discuss: How AI is transforming informed consent from a one-time form into an ongoing, patient-centered conversation When the use of AI in clinical settings may require disclosure or separate consent The legal, ethical, and malpractice risks associated with AI-driven decision making The spectrum of AI use in healthcare, from embedded tools to high-stakes clinical applications This conversation is essential viewing for healthcare executives, physicians, compliance leaders, and anyone responsible for navigating AI adoption in clinical environments. Topics covered: Healthcare AI, informed consent, medical malpractice, risk management, patient-centered care, shared decision-making, clinical AI, healthcare law Watch our previous panel discussion with Chad on Informed Consent and Medical Liability here: https://youtu.be/WlAKjBWuEb8?si=LomVYDvUrWfINAiA Connect with Chad on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadbrouillard Find Chad's work at: http://www.foster-eldridge.com Subscribe and stay at the forefront of the digital healthcare revolution.

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming back our good friend Les Csorba, Partner in Charge of the Houston office and a member of the CEO and Board of Directors Practice at Heidrick & Struggles. Les has over 30 years of experience in executive search, leadership consulting, and executive coaching, and he has long been a thoughtful, balanced voice within the energy community. Earlier this fall, he published “Aware: The Power of Seeing Yourself Clearly” (linked here). It's a fascinating exploration of how confronting blind spots, deepening both internal and external self-awareness, and cultivating environments where candid feedback is encouraged can transform leaders and organizations. As always, we appreciate hearing Les's perspective and were thrilled to visit with him. In our conversation, we cover why 2026 will test leaders, with fast-changing macro and geopolitical dynamics putting pressure on executives to lead with clarity, agility, and foresight. We explore how to create cultures where people speak candidly, including giving trusted team members permission to call out blind spots, as well as the difference between chain of command and chain of communication, and the importance of leaders being visible, accessible, and in direct contact with all levels of the organization. Les shares what led him to write “Aware” and the research Heidrick conducted showing that across 75,000 assessments, only ~13% of people demonstrated true self-awareness, inspiring Les to conclude that meaningfully raising that percentage could dramatically enhance organizational performance. We discuss internal versus external awareness, how leaders must treat macro/geopolitical chaos as primary inputs rather than background noise, how AI can boost efficiency but may dull self-awareness, and how to build feedback cultures and measure awareness. Les reflects on the early reception to the book and why self-awareness matters not just for leaders but for teams, boards, and personal relationships, why self-awareness is at historic lows, the importance of hiring and building around weaknesses, and how leaders can optimize and fully leverage their strengths. Les emphasizes the need to get outside of your information bubble, seek diverse perspectives, and cultivate the blend of confidence and humility that characterizes the most effective leaders. We close by discussing what's next for Les, the four forces for energy leaders in 2026 (agility, internal activism, strategic awareness, and foresight vs. forecast), and the most common board weakness, lacking someone who can push back thoughtfully and respectfully. Mike Bradley kicked us off by noting the 10-year bond yield was holding steady (~4.15%) following last week's FOMC meeting. He flagged the dissenting votes for an interest rate cut and suggested the split could foreshadow dynamics under the next Fed Chairman. On the broader equity market front, he observed that markets appear to be losing trading momentum and that 2026 could be a “year of reckoning” for 2025's market leaders (AI/Tech) as investors begin scrutinizing data center spending and associated returns more closely. In the oil market, he highlighted that WTI fell to a four-year low (~$55-bbl) on continued 2026 global oil surplus concerns rather than any specific event. He also noted that at the current 12-month strip ($55/bbl), 2026 upstream budgets, which will be announced in the next 1-2 months, will likely be negatively affected. On the natural gas front, he pointed out that over the past seven trading days, prompt U.S. natural gas price has plunged ~$1.50/MMBtu (to $3.85/MMBtu) due to a warmer short-term winter outlook. On the electricity front, he noted that 2027+ PJM capacity market auction results will be released Wednesday afternoon. Most investors are expecting prices to again hit the ceiling (~$335/mw), which might serve a

What if trying to calm an angry man is actually making things worse? Watch the video here.If you've ever felt your nervous system hijacked by a partner's anger, moodiness, or emotional outbursts, this episode will change how you see everything.In episode I break down why women instinctively move into fixing, soothing, explaining, or managing when a man gets angry, and how those well-meaning responses often pull you out of Feminine Energy and escalate the situation instead of calming it.This episode explores how anger triggers fight-or-flight responses in your body, why silence can be one of the most powerful Feminine Energy tools, and how childhood coping patterns quietly shape the way you respond to emotional conflict in adult relationships.I also shares why I'm rethinking long-standing dating and relationship protocols, including how emotional pacing, communication, and nervous system safety play a bigger role than we've previously acknowledged. This episode is also a primer for my newest program, The Angry Man Blueprint, which is on sale now through the end of the month and officially kicks off in January 2026. If you're dealing with an angry, reactive, pouty, or emotionally volatile man, this work is essential.
Mid-career partners can begin quietly wondering whether they should stay where they are or explore a move. This isn't driven by crisis or failure. It's driven by subtle shifts, such as declining energy for a platform that once fit well, strategy drift inside the firm, client relationships that feel different, or internal politics that have grown wearisome. Yet most partners stall making a decision because they don't want to make the wrong call and the ambiguity keeps them stuck. In today's episode, I walk through the five stages I see that partners typically move through when confronting the stay-or-go question: detecting early signals without overreacting, running a true cost-benefit audit, separating fact from extreme thinking about portability, pressure-testing the market and assumptions, and exploring parallel stay and go plans. I share the specific diagnostics I suggest partners consider, the risks partners often underestimate, the structural problems that rarely improve with time v. the irritations that can usually be changed, and how to evaluate the potential options through financial, client-continuity, and cultural-stability filters. If you're a partner feeling the need to examine your place in your practice or platform, this episode helps you approach that crossroads with clarity, data, and control. At a Glance 00:00 Why mid-career partners begin questioning whether to stay or go 02:44 Stage 1: Quiet doubt and the early signals partners tend to overlook 03:54 A three-question diagnostic for evaluating how to initially frame what may be going on 05:39 Stage 2: The cost-benefit audit and quantifying what staying v. going actually buys you 07:18 How politics, write-offs, and strategic stagnation erode partner value 08:42 Distinguishing temporary irritations from structural misalignment 10:10 Stage 3: Counterfactuals and why partners get stuck in best-case and worst-case assumptions 10:55 Reality-checking which clients would follow you and which would not 11:24 How to quietly stress-test the market without signaling intent 12:37 Stage 4: The real risks of leaving: portability, client transfer, compensation, and culture 14:19 Identifying what must change for you to stay, and how to design parallel stay and go plans 15:35 The three filters for evaluating any move: financial survivability, client continuity, and cultural stability 16:25 Stage 5: Why this decision can feel like an identity crisis and how to regain agency Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?

Nachdem wir uns vor Kurzem noch darüber aufgeregt haben, wie sehr einen einfache Nachrichten verrückt machen können, wird es diesmal nicht leichter – nur heißer. Denn sobald Texte nicht mehr nur „Hey“ oder „Ich vermisse dich“ beinhalten, sondern plötzlich nach „Ich komm grad aus der Dusche“ oder „Ich sehe dich nackt vor mir“ klingen, wird's kompliziert. Wie fängt man überhaupt mit Sexting an, ohne peinlich zu wirken? Welchen Einfluss haben heiße Texte auf den Sex im echten Leben? Und wie funktioniert eigentlich Telefonsex? Dazu kommen drei Hörer:innenmails: Ein Paar streitet darüber, ob Penis und Vagina oder Schwanz und Muschi erotischer klingen – und warum Sprache so schnell zum Stimmungskiller werden kann. Eine Hörerin steckt in einer intensiven Sexting-Verbindung mit einem Mann, der vergeben ist, und fragt sich, ob das nicht längst Fremdgehen ist. Und eine andere ringt in ihrer Beziehung mit einem Partner, der zwar treu wirkt, aber ständig Kontakt zu Exfreundinnen hält – und bei dem genau das alte Misstrauen wieder hochkommt, das sie aus einer toxischen Beziehung kennt.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA is joined by Shiloh Bates, CFA, Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Flat Rock Global, for a deep dive into collateralized loan obligations and their role in insurance portfolios. Shiloh explains how CLOs function as structured credit vehicles, the problems they solve in the private credit market, and how different tranches offer distinct risk-return profiles for investors. The conversation explores current market dynamics, including elevated default rates, spread behavior, and where Shiloh sees potential opportunities across CLO equity and junior debt. Shiloh also discusses underwriting discipline, diversification benefits, rated feeder structures, and how insurers can think about CLOs relative to direct loan exposure when constructing resilient, risk-aware portfolios.

December is not just the end of a year—it is a prophetic month of government, alignment, light, and new beginnings.In this powerful apostolic and prophetic message, Dr Candice shares a timeless message for the season ( this was recorded in 2020). She uncovers why December (the 12th month) represents government, authority, and divine order, and how Jesus carries the government upon His shoulders (Isaiah 9:6). This is a season where Kingdom government overrides earthly systems, and where God is preparing His people to step into January with clarity, joy, and power.This teaching explores:• The prophetic significance of the number 12• Why December is a month of governmental and Kingdom shifts• The connection between Hanukkah (Festival of Lights) and Jesus as the Light of the World• The miracle oil that burned for 8 days and what it means for new beginnings• How Jesus Himself celebrated the Festival of Dedication (John 10:22–23)• Why Christmas is a season where heaven and earth celebrate together• How to create heavenly habitation in your home• The role of light, angels, and spiritual atmosphere• How to keep your spiritual lamp burning and refuse to let your joy be suffocatedThis is a call for the apostolic church to rise, shine, and advance the Kingdom of Heaven—which is not coming, but has already arrived.This message will encourage you to:• Walk in joy and authority• Create an environment where light drives out darkness• Partner with heaven through worship, prayer, and celebration• Enter the new year aligned, refreshed, and empoweredScriptures referenced include:Isaiah 9:6, John 10:22–23, Luke 2:8–15, John 8:12, James 1:17, Matthew 3:16, Proverbs 3:8Books & ResourcesJoin Ascend Classes — FREE impartation & activation monthlyMonday December 22 at 10 am and 6 pm est http://bit.ly/4gfRKXmIn USA get your copy of my new book "Cracking the Time Code" to defeat delay and secure God's promises https://www.candicesmithyman.com/shop/p/preorder-cracking-the-time-code-step-into-supernatural-acceleration-stop-cycles-of-delay-and-secure-gods-promises-todaySign up for “Kingdom Wealth Strategies” for a 6 month COACHING in how to increase prosperity - excellent for marketplace ministry leaders and thoseWanting to dig deeper into God's plan for wealth and prosperous living.https://dream-mentors-transformational-life-coaching.teachable.com/l/pdp/kingdom-wealth-strategies-class-prophetic-communityGet your copy of “365 Prophetic Revelations from the Hebrew Calendar”Www.candicesmithyman.com or out of USA go to https://amzn.to/4aQYoR0https://amzn.to/4aQYoR0
Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt shares a post he wrote after seeing yet another wave of “Who's the most affordable?” questions in a local community group. He breaks down the hidden cost of chasing the lowest price, explains the local multiplier effect, and uses behavioral economics and game theory to show why short-term savings can create long-term pain—especially in auto repair. Matt also makes the case for educating employees on how small businesses really work, why ethical profit matters, and how small choices can preserve local options for your future self.Key themesWhy “most affordable” has become the default question in local recommendation threadsThe idea that every purchase has two prices: the invoice amount and the impact on the local systemLocal businesses as a “local multiplier”: wages, suppliers, sponsorships, taxes, and reinvestment staying nearbyThe trap of short-term savings: hyperbolic discounting, loss leaders, and loss aversionAuto repair reality check: low prices can shift costs into warranty travel, time loss, and future headachesGame theory framing: a repeated prisoner's dilemma—individual “defections” (price-chasing) add up to fewer local optionsThe skilled-trade value problem: cars depreciate while homes/buildings appreciate, shaping perceived worth of the work“Profits aren't evil”: ethical profit as doing what you said you'd do, for what you said you'd do it forThe case for educating employees on business economics so they understand pricing, margins, and sustainabilityPractical compassion: offering to cover card swipe fees and understanding why local goods can cost moreMemorable lines“Every purchase has two prices: the number on the invoice, and the impact on the system you live inside.”“The long-term consequences are invisible… until they're painful and hard to reverse.”“Time—by far our most valuable asset.”“Residents and local businesses behave a lot like a repeated prisoner's dilemma.”“Profits aren't evil. I believe in ethical profit.”Audience takeawayIf you always optimize for the cheapest option, you may “win” today but collectively lose tomorrow: fewer trusted local providers, fewer skilled jobs, and less community resilience—especially in specialized services like auto repair.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Today, Dominic Bowen hosts Dr Andrew Mumford on The International Risk Podcast to examine how grey zone warfare, hybrid tactics and strategic ambiguity are reshaping the contemporary security environment. They explore why sub-threshold activity has become a central feature of modern geopolitics, how states exploit ambiguity and deniability to pursue strategic objectives without triggering open conflict, and why these methods increasingly challenge traditional approaches to deterrence, escalation and international law.The conversation examines how cyber operations, disinformation, sabotage, proxy warfare and infrastructure interference generate cumulative effects that erode resilience, undermine public trust and complicate decision-making for governments, businesses and societies. Together, they discuss why hybrid threats are best understood not as isolated tactics but as part of a broader risk-management approach to conflict, and what this means for democratic resilience, public-private cooperation and the future of indirect warfare.Dr Andrew Mumford is Professor of War Studies at the University of Nottingham. His research focuses on contemporary and historical conflict, with particular expertise in insurgency, counterinsurgency, proxy warfare and military strategy. He is the author of The Counterinsurgency Myth, The British Experience of Irregular Warfare, and The West's War Against ISIS. His work examines how states manage risk, legitimacy and escalation in modern conflict, offering insights that inform policymakers, security practitioners and institutions grappling with the rise of hybrid and grey zone warfare.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.
