Gunther's new book dives deep into 138 key moments in the cathedral's development, intertwining the history of St. Louis with the architectural marvel itself. The cathedral's mosaics are made of 41.5 million pieces of glass and come in 7,000 shades of color, making it the largest collection of mosaics in the Western Hemisphere! Archbishop Glennon's vision for the cathedral combined Romanesque and Byzantine styles, which is a unique architectural blend not commonly seen in America. The process of creating these mosaics is nothing short of miraculous, involving thousands of individual pieces carefully placed to catch the light just right, turning the interior into a sparkling wonderland.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series, as Joseph's story comes to an end.Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is yourself. As Joseph's family well illustrates, life is messy, and for those of us who follow Jesus, we are no different. We all carry guilt and shame from parts of our own stories.But when the weight of unresolved guilt from our past keeps us from moving forward in the present, what we need to remember more than anything is that our story is just a part of a much bigger story, because we have the hope of the gospel. And when we embrace the truth that when God sees us, he no longer sees us in our past, but instead He sees His Son, this allows us to forget what lies behind and strain forward toward a glorious future in Christ.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 16, 2025, at 11:00am.

I'm so happy to welcome back Beth Martens to the show. I first met Beth in episode #26 where we learned of Beth's amazing cancer story, and how her recovery came through awareness rather than a herb, pill or procedure.In this episode we explore the themes of inner work, self-empowerment, and challenging mainstream narratives. We touch on Beth's journey from a cancer survivor to an author, coach, and podcaster.She speaks about the importance of inner work, some falacies of natural medicine, and the need for personal transformation to create real change. We also touch on the challenges facing Canada and the importance of maintaining a vision for the future.It has become very clear to me that many don't hold much a vision for the future and for what is possible and I believe if more people did, than the common choices and patterns of today for many would be very different when going beyond the concern of the present need or desire.Beth also introduces her upcoming course, Creator Code, which is aimed at helping people deprogram and find their true purpose. Something that could many, no doubt!Topics for today:01:32 Beth Martins' Journey from Cancer to Healing02:45 Challenging Conventional and Natural Medicine03:34 The Inner Work and Its Importance05:40 Debunking Health Myths and Misconceptions10:56 Stages of Awakening and Personal Growth27:50 The Power of Visioning and Inner Work46:20 Beth's Personal Story of Inner Work and Healing52:12 The Principle of Non-Attachment52:29 Radical Self Responsibility53:00 The Importance of Inner Work54:49 Challenges and Growth56:32 Business Coaching and Freedom01:00:17 Personal Struggles and Resilience01:06:21 The Power of Vision01:22:29 Parenting and Development01:32:18 Reflections on CanadaSupport me and check out my store page for discounts on various products at: https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/Find Beth:https://www.bethmartens.com/purchase/90770-Journey-2020?landing_page_id=119286To learn about all of Beth Martens's work:https://www.bethmartens.com/Find me:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saschakalivoda/IG: https://www.instagram.com/saschaksays/Website: www.sovereigncollective.orgYou Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@saschasays/videosBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Tfl1Zo021FcX

Romans 7 presents us with one of the most raw and vulnerable passages in all of Scripture, where we encounter the apostle Paul wrestling with a tension that every believer knows intimately: the struggle between who we are in Christ and the sin that still clings to our flesh. This passage doesn't offer us a polished, perfect Christianity—instead, it invites us into the messy reality of spiritual transformation. We discover that being saved doesn't make us perfect; it makes us forgiven. The profound truth here is that we are no longer 'in the flesh' but we are still 'of the flesh'—we've been freed from sin's dominion, yet we still battle its presence. Paul's honest confession 'I do not understand my own actions' resonates deeply because it mirrors our own experience. We find ourselves doing the very things we hate and failing to do the good we desire. This isn't a sign that our salvation is invalid; rather, it's evidence of the spiritual war raging within every Christ-follower. The beauty emerges when Paul asks not 'what will deliver me?' but 'who will deliver me?'—pointing us away from self-help solutions toward the only One who can truly save us. The answer comes thundering through: 'Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord,' followed immediately by the liberating declaration of Romans 8:1—'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' We're reminded that our Father stands with arms wide open, not waiting to condemn us for our failures, but inviting us to run to Him with every struggle, every sin, every moment of weakness.### Detailed Sermon Notes**Introduction:**- Pastor Will introduces himself and shares his recent mission trip to Malawi and South Africa. He emphasizes the gratitude for the church's support, which enables partnerships and gospel sharing in extremely impoverished regions.**Scripture Focus (Romans 7:13-25):**- **Struggle with Sin:** - Paul's honesty about his battle with sin highlights a universal Christian experience. - Believers are of the flesh yet in Christ, creating a tension of living according to the Spirit while wrestling with sinful nature. - Paul's question, "Why do I do what I don't want to do?" resonates with many believers.**Life as a Journey:**- **Analogy of the River:** - Life's path before Christ is like flowing downstream. Conversion is the turning point, representing the choice to paddle upstream against worldly currents.**Personal Story:**- Will shares a story of his son breaking a TV and promptly confessing, illustrating how God desires us to come to Him after we fail, instead of trying to fix things on our own.**Main Points:**- **Human Nature vs. Divine Calling:** - Despite being saved, Christians have an ongoing struggle with sin due to their fleshly nature. - Quoting John MacArthur, Will explains that believers are not "in" the flesh but "of" it, highlighting the continuous internal conflict.**Closing Message:**- Only Jesus, not human efforts, can deliver from sin's power.- Encourages transparency within the church, fostering a community where individuals can confess struggles without judgment.### Practical Applications1. **Embrace Transparency:**  - Cultivate authentic relationships within the church by admitting and discussing personal struggles.2. **Run to God:**  - Develop a habit of confessing sins to God promptly and seeking His strength to overcome, rather than relying on self-improvement techniques.3. **Rely on Grace:**  - Focus on understanding and relying on God's grace through Christ, rather than attempting to achieve righteousness through personal effort.4. **Scripture Engagement:**  - Regularly read and meditate on Scripture to reinforce the truth of God's grace and the ongoing internal battle with sin.### Discussion Questions1. **Personal Reflection:**  - Describe a time when you felt like Paul, struggling between your desires and your actions. How did you handle it?2. **The Role of Grace:**  - How can embracing God's grace daily help you in your struggle against sin?3. **Community Support:**  - In what ways can you contribute to making the church a more open and accepting environment for vulnerability and authenticity?4. **Prayerful Dependence:**  - What steps can you take to run to God and seek His help whenever you face temptation or failure? 

Screenwriter Samantha Strauss on her grandmother's vibrant last years in a Gold Coast retirement home where love, sex and startlingly pragmatic conversations about dying were all part of daily life. (CW: not suitable for children) (R)Samantha Strauss started dancing from the age of 2, and as she grew up, she became increasingly serious about it.Sam was 18 when her budding ballet career was cut short by a shocking injury.After a year on the couch recovering, she reinvented herself.A few years later, inspired by the story of her own life in ballet, she co-created a TV series called Dance Academy.Dance Academy went on to screen in 160 countries, with Sam as the head writer across the 65 episodes.Sam's next show, The End, was set partly in a Gold Coast retirement village.Samantha got the idea as she watched how her own Grandmother's life changed after moving into a similar place at the end of her life.She expected to hate it, but eventually she found a circle of friends who partied hard and talked freely about love, sex, and death, including experimenting with making their own Nembutal.Further informationOriginally broadcast April 2021.Samantha has since won a Logie for her work on the Netflix program Apple Cider Vinegar, based on Belle Gibson's life.This episode was produced by Nicola Harrison. The Executive Producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores Belle Gibson, wellness, scam, scammers, Philip Nitschke, exit international, VAD, voluntary assisted dying, nursing home, aged care, grandparent grandchild relationship, sick parent, writing, being a writer, dance career, LA, Los Angeles, film industry, connections, Australians in LA, actors, nudists and naturalists.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week, we break down Occam's Razor as a practical tool for faster, cleaner decision-making. From troubleshooting bugs to interpreting teammate behavior, we explore why starting with the simplest explanation first prevents stalled projects, wasted cycles, and unnecessary team friction.What would happen if your team stopped jumping to complex explanations and started solving problems from the simplest point forward?This week on the Cognition Catalog, we explore Occam's Razor through a lens most teams rarely consider: operational clarity. We all talk about avoiding assumptions, but the truth is that most slowdowns in cross-functional work happen because we add assumptions instead of stripping them away. Occam's Razor gives us a mental model to prevent that.I share a real example of how one missed Friday message spiraled into a completely avoidable narrative—all because I skipped the simplest explanation. But this isn't just about communication. The same thing happens in product reviews, sprint planning, bug triage, data interpretation, and even strategic debates. The more complexity we add early, the harder it becomes to make good decisions.We dig into how starting simple doesn't make you naive, it makes you fast. It helps reduce noise, focus conversations, and unlock the clarity teams need to move forward. If you want a smoother workflow, fewer misunderstandings, and fewer dramatic leaps in logic, give this one a listen.Topics:• 00:00 - Introduction: Overthinking Simple Problems• 00:50 - Welcome to Cognition Catalog• 01:18 - Sponsor Shoutout: Mobbin• 02:03 - A Personal Story of Overcomplication• 02:57 - Understanding Occam's Razor• 04:50 - Applying Occam's Razor in Team Dynamics• 06:51 - Practical Takeaways from Occam's RazorTo explore more about the Naive Cynicism, don't miss the full article @ ⁠cognitioncatalog.com⁠—Thanks for listening!
