Stephen Grootes speaks to Victor Kgomoeswana, Author of Africa Bounces Back & marketing and communication executive director at the University of Limpopo, about President Cyril Ramaphosa’s push for deeper regional integration within SADC, including his call for member states to sign the Protocol on the Free Movement of Persons, which would allow visa-free travel within the bloc for up to 90 days. South Africa has already signed the agreement, but many other SADC members have not, as Ramaphosa also advocates for greater intra-African trade and stronger cross-border infrastructure.

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.” (Psalm 91:1–2 NLT) In the first two verses of Psalm 91, the psalmist provides some great insights into the person of God by using four different titles for the Almighty. In verse 1, the psalmist refers to “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High” (NLT). The name “Most High” comes from the Hebrew phrase El Elyon, which describes God as the One who owns and possesses everything. We can lay claim to nothing. Our possessions, our skills and abilities, even our very lives all belong to God. Embracing that truth creates within us a spirit of humility, which is the ideal posture before God. Also in verse 1, the psalmist refers to “the shadow of the Almighty” (NLT). The name “Almighty” comes from the Hebrew word Shaddai, which emphasizes God’s power and sufficiency. Not only is the Lord the living God, but He is also the giving God. He possesses everything and wants to give us everything we need to thrive in our relationship with Him. He invites us to ask for anything, anytime and anywhere. Then verse 2 begins with the phrase “This I declare about the Lord” (NLT). The term “Lord” comes from the Hebrew word Yahweh. This is the personal name God gave to Moses when He appeared to him from the burning bush. “God replied to Moses, ‘I am who i am. Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.’ God also said to Moses, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations’” (Exodus 3:14–15 NLT). Yahweh is derived from the ancient Hebrew root word for “to be” and often translated “I will be who I will be.” Yahweh is God’s personal testimony that no one and nothing else defines who He is but Himself. Therefore, we know God by reading Scripture’s account of what He says about Himself. Psalm 91:2 concludes with these words: “He is my God, and I trust him” (NLT). This word “God” comes from the Hebrew word Elohim, which is in the plural form. This is to say not that there are multiple gods but rather that there are three Persons of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. In these two compact verses, the psalmist tells us that the all-knowing, all-powerful God, who possesses Heaven and earth and is in a special covenant with us, wants to protect us and provide for our needs. This gives us great confidence in the God whom we worship and serve. We can call on His name anytime, and He will answer.

Part Two of Two Some good news first: Judge Richard Gergel dismissed Alex Murdaugh's federal lawsuit demanding $600,000 from former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill, pointing to the "fatal flaw" sitting at the center of it.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell explain why agreeing with the ruling isn't the same as defending Becky Hill — and why they always believed the suit was less about money than about spectacle, subpoena power, and keeping everyone's eyes off the double homicide case.Then, Gregg Roman. The Middle East Forum executive director hired by billionaire gas station owner Greg Parker now calls himself an investigative journalist in court filings, and the South Carolina Supreme Court has agreed to take his appeal to keep his bank records away from the Beach family. Mandy and Liz walk through South Carolina's autopsy photo laws, the Dale Earnhardt and Kobe Bryant precedents, and the one question buried under all the noise: who gave Gregg Roman photos of Mallory Beach's body?Let's Dive In…

As Christians, we worship the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the unity of the Godhead, these three Persons execute distinct but harmonious offices in our redemption. Romans 8:1–4 is one of the rare places in the Bible where we see all three Persons of the Trinity executing these roles together. In this message, we will focus on the role of the Father in the great work of redemption. Take-Home Message: The great work of redemption is the great work of the Triune God.The Father's Role in my Redemption:The Father's Plan: The Father planned my redemption.The Father's Sending: The Father sent His Son to condemn sin in the flesh. The Father and the Son's Sending: The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit to fulfill the law.The Father and the Son's Seeking: The Father and the Son seek the lost.The Father's Listening: The Father hears my prayers.The Father's Freedom: The Father has mercy and compassion on whomever He chooses.The Father's Securing: The Father will secure the redemption of all things.

This week, our episode marks a timely moment—20 years since New Zealand signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)—and Victoria Wray, Manager Agency Standards and Integration, Department of Internal Affairs and Shu Run Yap, Principal Advisor, Operations and Delivery Strategy & Enablement, Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People use it as a lens to discuss accessibility and inclusion by design. The conversation focuses on how New Zealand can close the digital divide by moving beyond accessibility as a late-stage fix and instead embedding lived experience and inclusive thinking into the architecture of digital service delivery. You'll hear the "why" and the "how" of the shift underway: treating accessibility as core public service infrastructure (not a procurement checkbox), designing services around choice and equitable channels, and transitioning from legacy web standards to a broader digital accessibility standard that covers apps, documents, and more. The episode also explores feedback-driven innovation—making it easier for people to report barriers, using accessibility statements and clear contact channels, and ensuring AI-enabled services don't unintentionally amplify bias or exclude disabled communities.

Every day, ordinary people unknowingly walk right past clear human trafficking signs in their own neighborhoods and on their kids' smartphones. Over 50 million people worldwide are trapped in modern slavery, with vulnerable runaways targeted in local hotels and teenagers groomed by digital predators using AI.    In this episode, Nick Thompson sits down with Laura Parker, CEO of The Exodus Road, to expose the warning human trafficking signs hiding in local neighborhoods and on children's social media.   Despite explosive headlines about elite networks in the Epstein files, the mainstream media fails to teach everyday citizens how the infrastructure of this multi-billion-dollar criminal enterprise actually operates.    You are conditioned to believe trafficking only looks like dramatic kidnappings by strangers, but the terrifying reality is a systematic manipulation of trust.    Laura Parker exposes real human trafficking stories of survivors, unmasks online grooming tactics, and uncovers the exact child exploitation prevention strategies you need to protect your community.   In this episode, you will learn: ✅ Exactly what human trafficking signs to watch out for in hotels, airports, and your everyday life.  ✅ How "Romeo pimps" and digital predators use psychological manipulation and false promises to groom victims.  ✅ Why law enforcement is shifting toward digital forensics instead of traumatizing survivor testimony for sex trafficking rescue operations.  ✅ The reality of online child grooming tactics exposed and how AI is fueling sextortion schemes through social media apps.  ✅ Inspiring human trafficking stories of survivors who have reclaimed their lives from modern slavery.  ✅ Actionable child exploitation prevention steps you can take to make an impact for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons 2026. Our Guest  Laura Parker is the CEO and co-founder of The Exodus Road, a global anti-human trafficking organization that has conducted operations in 20+ countries and helped free over 6,300 survivors. She's a speaker, author, and advocate for human-centered leadership — drawing on 15 years of frontline experience, including raising three kids overseas while her husband worked undercover in anti-trafficking operations. Laura speaks on healthy leadership culture, sustainable performance, human trafficking awareness, and how to keep kids safe online. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.   Chapters   00:00 The Reality of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking  03:55 Laura Parker's Journey from Teacher to The Exodus Road  05:13 Explaining Force Fraud Coercion and Trafficking Myths  07:57 How Romeo Pimps Groom Runaways in the United States  11:08 The Psychology of Grooming and Stockholm Syndrome  15:14 Why Digital Forensics is Crucial for Trafficking Rescues  19:52 Exposing the Digital Supply Chain of Trafficking  24:24 Spotting the Real Signs of Trafficking in Plain Sight  26:27 How AI and Sextortion Target Teens Online  32:17 Practical Advice for Parents to Protect Kids  43:51 Managing Severe PTSD and Secondary Trauma  53:41 The True Impact of the Epstein Files   Find Laura Parker here:   Website: https://lauraparker.org/ | https://theexodusroad.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamlauraparker/ | https://www.instagram.com/theexodusroad/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-parker-223677112/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@joykongmd    Find Nick Thompson here: Nick Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/    UCAN Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_ucan_foundation/       YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EyesWideOpenContent       LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/        UCAN Foundation: https://theucanfoundation.org/      Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com   

So the Morning Briefings on the Holy Spirit, one of three Persons of the Trinity.... how can you experience him for yourself? Listen and find out!

As Christians, we worship the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the unity of the Godhead, these three Persons execute distinct but harmonious offices in our redemption. Romans 8:2–4 is one of the rare places in all the Bible where we see all three Persons of the Trinity executing these roles together. In this message, we will focus on the role of the Holy Spirit in the great work of redemption. The Holy Spirit is not a force; He is a Person that wills, feels and thinks. He is also God, worthy of the same honor and equal in divinity with the Father and the Son. We will examine the ways in which the Holy Spirit has set us free from the law of sin and death, and how the Holy Spirit continues to set us free from sin and death.Take-Home Message: The great work of redemption is the great work of the Triune God.The Holy Spirit's Role in my Redemption:The Spirit of Life: The Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus, sets me free from sin and death.The Spirit as Convictor: The Holy Spirit convinces me of my need for Jesus.The Spirit as Regenerator: The Holy Spirit regenerates me.The Spirit of Adoption: The Holy Spirit bears witness to my adoption into God's family.The Spirit as Renewer: The Holy Spirit renews my life.The Spirit of Truth: The Holy Spirit teaches me the truth.The Spirit of Grace: The Holy Spirit distributes unmerited favor to me.The Spirit as Intercessor: The Holy Spirit intercedes for me in my prayers.The Spirit as Helper: The Holy Spirit helps me live out my walk with Christ.The Spirit as Equipper: The Holy Spirit equips me for the building up of the church.The Spirit as Seal and Guarantee: The Holy Spirit seals and guarantees me for eternal life in Christ.

Have you ever thought of the Holy Spirit as simply your Helper, Comforter, or Guide? While all of those things are true, the Bible paints a much bigger picture. In this message, we journey from Genesis to Revelation to discover the Holy Spirit's incredible mission. From bringing order out of chaos at creation, to gathering scattered people at Pentecost, to breathing life into dry bones, the Holy Spirit has always been carrying out God's plan of redemption. His work isn't just about helping us make it through another week. He's transforming lives, restoring creation, and inviting every believer to join in God's mission. If you've ever wondered, Who is the Holy Spirit? or What does the Holy Spirit actually do? this message will challenge the way you think about one of the most misunderstood Persons of the Trinity. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you'll be reminded that what feels chaotic, broken, or beyond hope is never beyond the transforming power of God. If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today. We'd also love to hear from you in the comments.

This lecture discusses key ideas from American philosopher Derick Parfit's book Reasons And Persons, specifically the chapter titled "The Repugnant Conclusion". Specifically it examines he actual "repugnant conclusion" that his extended argument leads to, which is that it would be better to have a population that is very large but in which people's lives would have a very low quality of life, or a low amount of what makes life worth living for them, by comparison to any smaller population where the members would enjoy a better quality of life but have a lower overall sum of happiness or total amount what makes life worth living.

This lecture discusses key ideas from American philosopher Derick Parfit's book Reasons And Persons, specifically the chapter titled "The Repugnant Conclusion". Specifically it examines his further development of the overall argument in that chapter, looking at how population growth over time could in multiple ways lower the quality of life or the overall happiness for members of a given population. He projects two future populations 100 years from the present, one of which has double the population of the other, lower individual quality of life than the other, but a greater aggregate happiness for that population, and notes that some points of view would say that the greater population is the "better" society.

Nazareth and the Hidden Life Retreat Reflection IV The Hidden Life and the Healing of Desire Epigraph “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — St. Matthew 5:8 “Paradise is the love of God.” — Saint Isaac the Syrian ⸻ At the center of every human life there is desire. Not simply desire for pleasure, though pleasure is part of it. Not simply desire for comfort, recognition, intimacy, or meaning. Deeper still there is a longing for communion. The human person was created not merely to exist, but to participate in divine life. We are beings fashioned for relationship, for love, for beauty, for self- offering, for union with God. The fathers understand this with tremendous seriousness. Human desire is not treated by them as something shameful in itself. Desire belongs to our creation in the image of God. The tragedy is not that we desire. The tragedy is that desire has become fragmented. This fragmentation lies beneath so much of modern suffering. People hunger endlessly yet do not know for what they hunger. They seek intimacy yet fear vulnerability. They seek pleasure yet remain restless afterward. They seek visibility yet feel unseen. They seek stimulation yet become emotionally numb. They seek escape yet remain inwardly trapped. 1 The modern world intensifies this confusion constantly because it trains desire outward continually. We are surrounded by invitations to consume: images, experiences, identities, bodies, possessions, attention, recognition. The soul gradually becomes dispersed among countless impulses and fantasies. Desire loses depth because it no longer knows how to remain still long enough to encounter its true object. And thus many people experience life as a continual cycle of longing and disappointment. The fathers would say that the heart has forgotten where it belongs. This is why purity of heart is so important in the Christian tradition. Purity does not mean emotional sterility or repression. It means the gradual healing and reunification of desire. The pure heart becomes capable once more of seeing rightly because it is no longer divided continually among competing passions. Christ reveals this purity perfectly. And astonishingly, He reveals it first not through miracles or preaching, but through the hidden life of Nazareth. This matters deeply. The hidden years reveal desire completely at rest within the will of the Father. Christ does not grasp at visibility. He does not seek identity through recognition. He does not consume experience in order to feel alive. He remains rooted entirely within communion. This is why the silence of Nazareth possesses such healing power. Modern humanity suffers from exhaustion partly because desire has become detached from communion. We seek endlessly yet remain inwardly unsatisfied because the heart cannot be nourished by consumption alone. Human beings were created not for endless stimulation but for participation in divine love. 2 And yet the modern person often no longer knows how to receive love except through fantasy, control, performance, or emotional intensity. This distortion affects every dimension of life: relationships, sexuality, prayer, work, friendship, even the way we imagine God. Many people secretly approach God Himself through the logic of performance. We imagine we must construct a spiritual identity worthy of love. We attempt to secure ourselves through achievement, moral success, productivity, usefulness, or emotional experiences. Even repentance can become subtly performative. But Nazareth dismantles these illusions slowly. The hidden Christ reveals a form of existence rooted not in self-construction but in communion. He does not need to prove Himself continually because His identity rests entirely in the Father. And this freedom allows Him to remain hidden peacefully. This exposes something painful within ourselves. Much of our restlessness comes from trying continually to establish ourselves apart from communion with God. The ego seeks to secure existence through: recognition, desire, admiration, sexual validation, success, spiritual intensity, or being needed by others. But none of these finally heal the heart because the deepest human longing is not for self-expansion but for union. This is why the saints become increasingly peaceful. Not because desire disappears. But because desire becomes purified. 3 The fragmented heart slowly becomes whole. This purification usually unfolds through hidden struggle rather than dramatic experiences. The fathers speak continually about watchfulness because they understand that the battle occurs largely within attention and desire itself. Thoughts arise. Fantasies emerge. Memories awaken passions. The imagination drifts continually toward self-protection, possession, resentment, vanity, lust, and fear. And the person slowly learns: not hatred of desire, but discernment. The ascetical life is therefore not rejection of humanity. It is the healing of humanity. Fasting teaches desire not to rule tyrannically. Silence teaches desire to listen. Prayer teaches desire to remain before God. Hiddenness weakens the craving for recognition. Repentance heals the fragmentation caused by shame. Love slowly restores communion. All of this unfolds gradually. Modern people often become discouraged because they expect immediate transformation. We want healing quickly. We want prayer to become easy. We want temptation to disappear. We want certainty. But the fathers describe purification as long, hidden, patient work. And much of this work occurs precisely within ordinary life. This is another revelation of Nazareth. Christ heals human existence not only through dramatic moments but through daily hidden fidelity. The years of ordinary labor are not spiritually empty. The hidden life itself becomes salvific because Christ fills ordinary existence with divine presence. And perhaps this is where many souls begin finally to breathe again. When they realize that holiness is not primarily the construction of an extraordinary spiritual identity. 4 It is communion. The mother caring for an aging parent. The monk remaining faithfully in dryness. The husband learning patience slowly. The woman enduring hidden loneliness without bitterness. The person returning quietly to prayer after failure. The exhausted soul continuing simply to offer small acts of love. All of this belongs to the hidden life of Christ. This does not romanticize suffering or ordinary life. Nazareth was not sentimental. Hiddenness can feel humiliating. Repetition can feel empty. Desire does not become purified without struggle. The false self resists relinquishment continually. And yet beneath this struggle something beautiful slowly emerges: the heart begins to simplify. One no longer needs constant stimulation. One no longer seeks identity through performance so desperately. One becomes more capable of silence, presence, attention, gratitude, and tenderness. The soul begins slowly to recover the capacity to behold. This is profoundly important because modern life trains us primarily to consume. We look quickly, use quickly, discard quickly. The gaze itself becomes restless and acquisitive. But the pure heart learns another way of seeing: reverently, patiently, eucharistically. Persons cease to become objects. Ordinary moments cease to feel disposable. Even suffering becomes capable of communion. And perhaps this is ultimately what Nazareth reveals: 5 that salvation is not escape from human life but the transfiguration of human life from within. Christ enters ordinary existence fully in order to heal desire at its roots. Not by destroying longing, but by leading longing home. For the deepest hunger of the human heart is not finally for pleasure, recognition, intensity, or even relief from suffering. It is for God. And every fragmented desire is ultimately healed only when the soul begins once more to rest in Him.
