Justin Duke, who runs Buttondown, calls himself a "radical LLM centrist." About two-thirds of Buttondown's merged code comes from LLMs, but he still pushes back on the most extreme software factory takes. He and Matt talk about why most "factories" are only tuned for throughput and why so much agent work is snacking: low effort and low value. They also get into the rise of fake third-party services, and whether Kanban is a warning about borrowing manufacturing ideas without the principles behind them. Plus: a huge pile of regexes, CI that rejects PRs without screenshots, and why Buttondown's Storybook has quietly become its staging server.Mentioned in this episodeSnacks are cheaper and tastier than ever: Justin's post on how LLMs make low-effort, low-value work very tempting. You get the rush of 15 merged PRs and no effect on customers. It pairs well with his Be careful what you make easier.PlanetScale's self-improving database: Both teams feed PlanetScale's Insights and schema recommendations to agents that open PRs, some of which merge automatically. It's close to a free lunch, though Justin argues it's also where the factory metaphor breaks, since real factories don't improve themselves.Linear Customer Requests: Justin's favorite little-used Linear feature. You link issues to customers along with their revenue, so "who's asking for this, and does it change whether they churn?" gets answered before an agent starts on the backlog.Plain: Buttondown's support tool. Instead of sending every thread to an LLM classifier the way Plain would like, they use a "staggeringly terrifying" pile of regexes that's easy to improve over time. Matt's team went the same way, with LLMs writing the regex instead of being the classifier.StrongDM's Digital Twin Universe: This is the software factory's take on the manufacturing "digital twin." StrongDM had agents build clones of Okta, Jira and Slack from their public API docs so they could run thousands of test scenarios an hour.Miniflare vs. stripe-mock: What matters most in a fake service is keeping state. Cloudflare's local simulator remembers what you did. With Stripe's mock, if you create a customer and then list customers, you get an empty list.Litmus / Email on Acid: Testing email rendering still means somebody keeping a headless Windows XP box running. Now it's much cheaper to build that kind of internal tool yourself.Storybook + Buttondown's demo site: Buttondown's "storybook maximalist" setup has stories for every page, component and transactional email, all snapshot tested. The public demo site with realistic data covers everything else, so they barely use their old staging server.Rails forensics skill for CVE-2026-66066: After the Active Storage image-upload RCE, known as KindaRails2Shell, 37signals released agent skills that check whether you were vulnerable and whether you were actually exploited. A small team would never have done that kind of investigation before.The productivity paradox: Justin asks why GDP hasn't grown with technology. His test for LLMs is what they let you do that your people and budget couldn't do three years ago.Thank you to this season's sponsor Laravel Cloud.

For [God] has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). One of the chief elements of the Christian faith is comfort. This is not about being comfortably curled up on the couch with a good book or movie. It is about confidence and hope. This comfort is that we belong body and soul, in life and in death to our faithful Saviour Jesus Christ. How can we be sure of this? The temptation is that we look for security in ourselves, in the depth of our faith or the width of our holiness. The Heidelberg Catechism points us in a different direction. This comfort is in Christ Jesus, in what he has done and in his character. It summarizes Christ's work with, "He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil". Further, there is only one adjective, faithful, used to describe Jesus. The writer of Hebrews says, "Since the children (that's us) have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death" (Hebrews 2:14-15). There is profound comfort here. We face each spiritual battle and each temptation the devil sends our way with profound confidence. The outcome of our fight against evil is already guaranteed. We may lose skirmishes along the way, but the war is won. The battle between David and Goliath is inserted at the very beginning of David's biblical arc because of the confident humility he shows while facing off against the giant, "The battle is the Lord's," he says (1 Samuel 17:47). David doesn't need sword and armor, only the Lord. The devil may still accuse us of being unworthy of God's affection. We may wonder at God's providence when we peruse the pain of life on earth. Doubts may creep into our hearts as we recognize the very slow progress we make in the Christian life. Against those things we see the cross of Jesus. He gave his life for us. Plain and simple. He was willing to pay the highest price. We belong. Therefore, this confession gives us the courage to face our own humanity and sin. No matter what we have done or what people are now saying about us, the truth of this confession stands firm. We belong because God has rescued us. And the fact is, God is faithful. He will not let us go. Paul writes, May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." And he finishes with, "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it" (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24). This does not make us passive. Like David, we engage in the fight. We strive for holiness and desire the fruit of the Spirit in us. Like David, we are not afraid. We delight in God's grace. He will bring us through. Praise the Lord! As you journey on, receive Jesus' invitation: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28-29).

Glutathione is the most boring compound I use. It's also one I'd put in my top five peptides.Your cells make it every day. It's your main internal antioxidant, the buffer that soaks up the damaging byproducts of making energy. Levels drop with age, alcohol, illness and hard training. When that tank runs low, a lot of other therapies stop working as well.In this masterclass I break down redox in plain English. Then I cover who actually benefits and who can probably skip it. I walk through every delivery route and what the human data shows for each. Plain oral does a little. Liposomal does a lot more.I share my three dosing tiers, how I think about cycling, and why I keep injections away from the hours after training. We get into reconstitution, the taurine trick for injection sting, and storage. I also talk about the transdermal version I've been testing. That one is anecdote only, with no controlled human data yet.Plus why I pair it with mitochondrial peptides, and why toxic burden may be behind a lot of stalled GLP-1 results.If your protocol has plateaued and you can't figure out why, start here.

In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we will finish our study on Deborah and Jael.Deborah (a bee) & Jael (wild or mountain goat) – Warrior WomenDeborah is one of the major judges (other words more of a charismatic military leaders, not a justice type judge figure) in the story of how Israel takes the land of Canaan. Deborah summons Barak to lead the battle against the Canaanites; he agrees, but only if she accompanies him. Barak and his warriors destroy all the Canaanites except Sisera, who seeks refuge with but is killed by Jael. Later rabbis acknowledged Deborah as a prophet but, due to their discomfort with women leaders, blunted her impact by speculating about her husband, reading her self-identification in the Song of Deborah in Judges 5 as hubris, and minimizing her role as judge. Deborah led the Israelites in peace and in war. She was a prophetess, but when war came she devised a battle strategy that gave the out-numbered and badly equipped Israelite troops victory over their Canaanite enemy. Meanwhile woman, Jael, used a tent peg and a mallet to finish off the unfortunate enemy general, Sisera.The story of Deborah describes the unlikely victory of the Israelites, led by the wisdom of Deborah, over superior Canaanite [do you remember who these people were?] forces. After the battle, the defeated Canaanite general Sisera was killed by a Kenite woman called Jael. Deborah's achievement was significant because the battle gave the Israelites their first access to the fertile and prosperous Plain of Esdraelon and part of the Plain of Sharon.Jael's story is similar to the one told about David and Goliath. A small, weak person, Jael, triumphs over a terrifying and apparently invincible warrior, Sisera. The story celebrates the defeat of Israel's enemies and the power of Israel's Elohim. The story of Deborah and Jael contains four main sections: 1 Deborah, a judge of Israel, summoned Barak (Judges 4:1-11, 5:1-18). When war and oppression come, Deborah acted as a leader of the people. She chose the most able military general and told him what he must do. 2 The battle was fought: Sisera fled (Judges 4:12-16, 5: 19-23). The superior enemy forces were routed, their troops were slaughtered, and the Israelites were jubilant. Their faith in their Yahweh was strengthened. Sisera, the enemy general, fled from the battlefield towards the encampment of Jael the Kenite woman. 3 Jael met Sisera, and killed him (Judges 4:17-24, 5:24-27). Jael called Sisera into her tent, hid him and fed him. After he fell asleep Jael killed him by driving a tent peg through the side of his head. She was hailed as a national heroine by the pursuing Israelite forces, led by Deborah and Barak. 4 The mother of Sisera (Judge 5:28-30). Sisera's mother and the noblewomen who surrounded her waited for her son to return. But as the reader knows, he was already dead by Jael's hand. The Song of Deborah (Judges 5) is dated at about 1285-1265BC, near when these events happened. It is a vivid picture, giving more details than Judges 4. For example, it contains a series of curses on those tribes who did not help in the battle, planting the seed for a later separation of the northern and southern tribes of Israel.Deborah is the only woman judge mentioned in the Book of Judges. The people of her time had no difficulty in accepting her as a judge. This suggests that judges were seen as ‘Yahweh's people', and their gender was unimportant.It is always sin which puts things out of Yahweh's order, and all kinds of complications follow. At this time, the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Yahweh, and "Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin “one who is intelligence', king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor “village”; the captain of whose host was Sisera “battle array”, which dwelt in Harosheth “workmanship” [so called from the different races, possible giants included]of the Gentiles." Again and again, this history had been repeated. Yahweh had fulfilled His word, "If ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; and if ye shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but that ye break My covenant: I will also do this unto you;…I will set My face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you." (Lev. 26:14-17.) The Battle: Phase 1Deborah summoned as many Israelite tribesmen as she could get – the main contingent was from Naphtali and Zebulun. Some of the tribes would not come, but those who did camped at Mount Tabor.It was hilly ground, easily defensible, with a flanking position facing the Jezreel Valley. There was excellent visibility in all directions. The sloping ground gave the Israelites security against any Canaanite chariot attack.The main Canaanite army base was at “Harosheth of the Gentiles.” This must have been close to the Valley of Jezreel, for the site of the decisive battle was near Megiddo, in the western section of the valley.Just before the battle, a flash flood swelled the nearby Wadi Kishon and turned the battleground into deep mud (documented in the Song of Deborah 5:4-5), giving the Israelite foot soldiers the advantage over the Canaanite chariots. The Battle: Phase 2Deborah guessed that when Sisera was told about the Israelite deployment, he would concentrate all his forces at Mount Tabor, to contain Barak.Eventually, Sisera would have reasoned, Barak would be forced out into the open to fight on the open plain – where he could be defeated.But Deborah had a second force at her disposal, militia she had gathered from Ephraim. She used this body of soldiers to draw Sisera away from his vigil opposite Mount Tabor, towards the swampy area of the Kishon River in the western part of the Jezreel Valley.She must have provided good reason for him to abandon his first position – tantalizingly, the Bible does not tell us what it was.But it must have been a movement threatening the unprotected plain. Only this would have induced Sisera to break camp and move in the direction of the Kishon River, to secure the narrow pass between the Carmel and the Tivon hills leading from the Jezreel Valley into the coastal plain. Whatever this feint was, it worked.The Battle: Phase 3The opposing forces watched each other for a few days. One guesses that Deborah was waiting for rain to turn the Kishon and its tributaries into a mire. When she received the confirmation she hoped for, she gave Barak the sign to attack: ‘Up, for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand' (Judges 4:13).Her assault caught Sisera's troops in the flanks or rear, or possibly both. At that point the Ephraimite force joined the main battle. ‘And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak' (Judges 4:15).There was a wonderful irony in this. Baal, the main god of the Canaanite forces, was god of storms and weather. He was worshipped by the Canaanites, with Anat, a fierce goddess who fought vigorously to protect her family. Yet the Canaanites lost the battle because of a storm!The Israelites could hardly believe their luck. Yahweh, their Elohim, was clearly superior to the gods of the Canaanites.Abandoning his army, Sisera fled on foot away from the battlefield, towards the encampment of Jael, the Kenite woman (Judges 4:12-16).Jael had her own tent, separate from her husband's tent. At this period in Israelite history it was still common for several women to be married to one man. In such a case, each wife had her tent, which she made, pitched and maintained herself. When she had children, they lived with her in this tent.‘So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. Then he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty”. She opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him. He said to her “Stand at the entrance of the tent, and if anybody comes and asks you “Is anyone here?” say “No”.When Sisera arrived at the encampment in the last stages of exhaustion and terror, Jael saw him and called him to her tent.  One point to notice is that Sisera went into Jael's tent, not the tent of Heber her husband. The ancient laws of hospitality in the Middle East were very strict. A guest, once ritually invited into the home, had to be protected and cared for, even at the expense of everyone else in the house. But only the chief man of the household could offer ritual hospitality. Sisera went into Jael's tent. She covered him with a rug, which suggests that he was afraid and wanted to hide. He asked for water. She gave him a drink of goat's milk. Exhausted from the battle and his flight, he fell asleep.Faced with a man who was far superior to her in physical strength, Jael used her wits and courage. She took the wooden hammer used to put up her tent and one of the pegs that held the tent ropes, and then with one expert blow she drove the peg deep into the side of Sisera's head. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

Luke6:43-49 Jesus closes the Sermon on the Plain with a question: “Why do you call me‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?” This morning, we look at two parables that Jesusgives us. One about a tree and its fruit, and the other about two builders and their houses.Both parables call us to to take a look at our lives and see what they reveal about what wetruly believe and what our lives are built on. Jesus shows us that genuine faith is not foundin what we say, but in whether our lives are rooted in Him and shaped by His words.

Read OnlineRelying on Divine ProvidenceJesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.” Luke 9:1–3Imagine having the power to lay hands on the sick and heal them. Though it may seem like something from the world of fantasy or superheroes, it is, in truth, a participation in divine authority over nature. While children might dream of such power through comic books or cartoons, the power granted to the Apostles was not only real, it was given for a much higher purpose: to draw souls into eternal salvation.By this point in Luke's Gospel, the Twelve had been chosen and appointed as Apostles for at least several weeks, if not months. In Luke 6, Jesus called them after spending the night in prayer on a mountain. Since then, they had been formed by listening to His teachings—such as the Sermon on the Plain—witnessing miracles and exorcisms, seeing Him forgive sins, watching in awe as He calmed a stormy sea, and even beholding Him raise the dead.After this brief but intense period of formation, Jesus sent them on mission. For this mission, Jesus bestowed upon them His own divine power—to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim the Kingdom of God.As He sent them, He gave an important instruction: “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.” Why would He ask this of them? It wasn't because of a lack of concern for their needs; rather, He was teaching them a vital spiritual lesson: To be effective instruments of His power and message, they had to rely completely on divine providence.Imagine being one of the Twelve, entering an unfamiliar village and seeing a crippled man begging at the gate. Suddenly, you feel inspired to lay hands on him and declare his healing. The prompting is so strong, you act. As soon as you say, “Be healed,” the man rises and walks, to the amazement of all. By day's end, lines of the sick, crippled, and demon-possessed come to you, and each one is healed or delivered.The next day, a large crowd gathers in the town square. You invite them to sit, then begin preaching all you had heard Jesus teach. As you speak, some are moved to tears; others look to Heaven in joy. Hearts are touched. Chains fall. Lives are changed—all through the instrumentality of your words and presence.Such a moment would easily lead to the temptation of pride, marveling at all you had done. But Jesus knew this. That's why, as the day ended and the crowd dispersed, the Apostles had to seek food and shelter from others. That simple act—relying on the kindness of strangers—was a daily reminder that the power they exercised was not their own. They entered towns empty-handed to remember that it was not they who worked wonders or saved souls, but Christ acting and speaking through them.When God uses us for His glorious purposes, we too will be tempted by the sin of pride. We may marvel at ourselves, seek recognition from others, or expect to be treated as if we were the source of God's grace. This very real danger must be taken seriously by anyone engaged in Christ's apostolate. Unless Christ works through us, we can do nothing. We are weak and sinful, and the merit of every good act belongs to Christ alone. We must never forget this sobering truth, especially the more deeply we become involved in His ministry.Reflect today on how fully you rely on divine providence. Are there times when you are tempted to take credit for what God does through you? Do you seek affirmation and recognition when you serve our Lord? Ask Jesus to give you the grace of humility and detachment, so that you desire only to be a pure instrument of His mercy, never seeking your own glory but always pointing back to Him.All-powerful Lord, You not only hold full authority over nature, You also possess the power to transform lives and bestow eternal life. Use me as a humble instrument of Your saving mission. Guard my heart against pride and keep me grounded in humility, ever mindful that every good work flows from You. I am but Your servant; You are the source of all goodness. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: The Twelve Sent Out, by Julius Schnorr von CarolsfeldSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.As we continue our study in this fantastic insight of the Women of the Bible, this morning we take a look at Deborah and Jael.Deborah (a bee) & Jael (wild or mountain goat) – Warrior WomenDeborah is one of the major judges (other words more of a charismatic military leaders, not a justice type judge figure) in the story of how Israel takes the land of Canaan. Deborah summons Barak to lead the battle against the Canaanites; he agrees, but only if she accompanies him. Barak and his warriors destroy all the Canaanites except Sisera, who seeks refuge with but is killed by Jael. Later rabbis acknowledged Deborah as a prophet but, due to their discomfort with women leaders, blunted her impact by speculating about her husband, reading her self-identification in the Song of Deborah in Judges 5 as hubris, and minimizing her role as judge.Deborah led the Israelites in peace and in war. She was a prophetess, but when war came, she devised a battle strategy that gave the outnumbered and badly equipped Israelite troops victory over their Canaanite enemy. Meanwhile woman, Jael, used a tent peg and a mallet to finish off the unfortunate enemy general, Sisera.The story of Deborah describes the unlikely victory of the Israelites, led by the wisdom of Deborah, over superior Canaanite [do you remember who these people were?] forces. After the battle, the defeated Canaanite general Sisera was killed by a Kenite woman called Jael. Deborah's achievement was significant because the battle gave the Israelites their first access to the fertile and prosperous Plain of Esdraelon and part of the Plain of Sharon.Jael's story is similar to the one told about David and Goliath. A small, weak person, Jael, triumphs over a terrifying and apparently invincible warrior, Sisera. The story celebrates the defeat of Israel's enemies and the power of Israel's Elohim. The story of Deborah and Jael contains four main sections: 1 Deborah, a judge of Israel, summoned Barak (Judges 4:1-11, 5:1-18). When war and oppression come, Deborah acted as a leader of the people. She chose the most able military general and told him what he must do. 2 The battle was fought: Sisera fled (Judges 4:12-16, 5: 19-23). The superior enemy forces were routed, their troops were slaughtered, and the Israelites were jubilant. Their faith in their Yahweh was strengthened. Sisera, the enemy general, fled from the battlefield towards the encampment of Jael the Kenite woman. 3 Jael met Sisera, and killed him (Judges 4:17-24, 5:24-27). Jael called Sisera into her tent, hid him and fed him. After he fell asleep Jael killed him by driving a tent peg through the side of his head. She was hailed as a national heroine by the pursuing Israelite forces, led by Deborah and Barak. 4 The mother of Sisera (Judge 5:28-30). Sisera's mother and the noblewomen who surrounded her waited for her son to return. But as the reader knows, he was already dead by Jael's hand.  The Song of Deborah (Judges 5) is dated at about 1285-1265BC, near when these events happened. It is a vivid picture, giving more details than Judges 4. For example, it contains a series of curses on those tribes who did not help in the battle, planting the seed for a later separation of the northern and southern tribes of Israel. After the death of Joshua, the man who had lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan, Yahweh raised up judges to lead and rule Israel.  The first Judges Yahweh used were Othniel (Lion of El), Ehud (Union) and Shamgar (Sword) (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. Deborah leads the nation of Israel. Who said women cannot lead? Here is one of the many women Yahweh Himself called and used. She was very much respected. Her leadership qualities were unquestionable. She was also a prophet and married women might also like to note that she was married (Judges 4). Marriage was never designed to hinder the ministry of women but rather to aid it. The story of Deborah occured in approximately 1285-1265BC, when Deborah was a judge of Israel. The word ‘judge' did not mean then what it means now. A judge in Israel was a tribal leader who in times of peace had authority to settle disputes and problems in times of war acted as a rallying point to gather the tribes and organize resistance. Deborah is the only woman judge mentioned in the Book of Judges. The people of her time had no difficulty in accepting her as a judge. This suggests that judges were seen as ‘Yahweh's people', and their gender was unimportant. It is not the usual order of Yahweh to put woman in the place of authority: "Adam was first formed, then Eve." (1Tim. 2:13.) Deborah was an exception. The children of Israel had sinned grievously against Yahweh, and apparently there was no man that could serve His purpose as judge over Israel. Just as, later on, He was driven to employ the child Samuel when the high priest Eli was not equal to the occasion, so now, a woman must do the part of a man.It is always sin which puts things out of Yahweh's order, and all kinds of complications follow. At this time, the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Yahweh, and "Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin “one who is intelligence', king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor “village”; the captain of whose host was Sisera “battle array”, which dwelt in Harosheth “workmanship” [so called from the different races, possible giants included]of the Gentiles." Again and again, this history had been repeated. Yahweh had fulfilled His word, "If ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; and if ye shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but that ye break My covenant: I will also do this unto you;…I will set My face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you." (Lev. 26:14-17.) But Yahweh had made a provision, which was recorded by the Psalmist, "Then they cried unto Yahweh in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses." (Psa. 107:6; 13; 19; 28.)Deborah is introduced as a ‘prophetess', but a prophet was not someone who foretold the future. They ‘heard' a message from Yahweh in some way and passed it on. Often the message was about staying apart from the surrounding cultures and maintaining the unique identity and beliefs of Israel.  The judges of Israel did not impose their authority on the Israelite people - they did not need to. They were representatives of Yahweh, transmitting direct messages from Yahweh. Deborah also acted as an prophet when, sitting under a special palm tree in the hill country of Ephraim, she gave judgment on particular matters. This palm tree was the ancient equivalent of a judge's courthouse, a place where people went when they needed a dispute settled. But it was more than that, too.  Deborah's duties and ministry was similar to all the other judges of Israel and even went a bit more.She was the leader of the Nation. She helped to settle their disputes. She was also a prophetess who gave the nation direction from Yahweh She was respected by all the people. She was called by Yahweh.The land had peace for forty years due to her ministry. (Judges 4 and 5)  If Deborah were under our dispensation she would have occupied the office of a pastor, prophet, and teacher. Certain places were seen as sacred, as having some special aura that linked them to Yahweh. Mount Carmel in northern Israel, for example, gets its name from the word kerymail or vineyard of El, the high Elohim. This place must once have been dedicated to the Elohim El, and used by his priests and priestesses for worship.Oracles were common in the ancient world. People believed they had special wisdom given by Elohim. Oracles could give advice on difficult problems. An oracle listened, considered the problem or question, and then spoke words of advice. These words might be in the form of a riddle, which the listener had to interpret, or they might be more direct. Deborah was inspired to speak out about the deteriorating state of the country around Ephraim. Law and order had broken down, and it was no longer safe to travel on the highways.It is the calling and gifts of Yahweh on a person's life that brings them into the ministry of Yahweh. Your sex has nothing to do with it. As you dedicate yourself to Yahweh and seek His face you will be prepared to fulfill His will for your life. It has to be said that the Israelite settlers in the hill-country of Canaan were largely to blame for these problems. They continually raided the Canaanite farms and villages on the prosperous plains below their hill settlements, and of course the powerful city-states retaliated and ‘oppressed' the Israelites.  Once again the Canaanites were led by King Jabin of Hazor.  Jabin ruled a large, fortified city-state in upper Canaan, and may have been the leader of a confederation of Canaanite city-states. His aim was to restore Canaan's power by exterminating the Israelite invaders (Judges 4:6-11 and 5:12-18). Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

Randall,  2026 ONCA 631, where a police officer stopped a driver for tinted windows and saw an unwrapped cannabis vape pen in plain sight near the gearshift. Thinking he had enough grounds under Ontario's Cannabis Control Act for a search of the driver and the vehicle, the officer ultimately discovered controlled substances, evidence of trafficking, cash and a loaded handgun. A trial judge found the police breached the driver's Charter rights because the observation of the cannabis vape pen did not provide reasonable grounds there was improperly stored cannabis in the vehicle. All of the evidence was excluded and the driver was acquitted of the 21 criminal charges he faced. On appeal by Crown, Ontario's top court revisited the reasonable grounds issue. Did it agree with the trial judge? Or did it  come to a different conclusion? s. 12 Ontario's Cannabis Control Act:Transporting cannabis12(1) No person shall drive or have the care or control of a vehicle or boat, whether or not it is in motion, while any cannabis is contained in the vehicle or boat.Exception(2) Subsection (1) does not apply with respect to cannabis that,(a) is in its original packaging and has not been opened; or(b) is packed in baggage that is fastened closed or is not otherwise readily available to any person in the vehicle or boat.Search of vehicle or boat(3) A police officer who has reasonable grounds to believe that cannabis is being contained in a vehicle or boat in contravention of subsection (1) may at any time, without a warrant, enter and search the vehicle or boat and search any person found in it.Other references:R. v.

In this sermon we will finish Jesus' Sermon on the Plain. Luke 6:43-49 talks about how important it is that our faith be lived out in our actions. If we produce good fruit by obeying Jesus, then we reveal that we have a good heart. We have been changed by God and are secure on a firm foundation. But if our lives do not reflect Jesus, because we do not obey His words, then we are building on a foundation of earth that will lead to destruction.

0:00 - Last night, the Broncos forgot their fundamentals. At every level. Plain and simple. Both sides of the ball. They couldn't do anything right, not even the most simple, basic, football stuff. And that's why KC had their way with them at Arrowhead under the bright lights of primetime. 16:17 - Vic said that the Broncos "are not a running football team." What does that mean? Why aren't they a running team? Because when they DO establish the run, it works!33:05 - Oh, by the way...the deeper we dig into this Broncos game, the worse it looks. The film is a tough watch across the board.Oh, by the way...Virgina Tech Head Football Coach James Franklin (doesn't that sound weird?) had a very strange interaction with a reporter yesterday.Oh, by the way...Kawhi Leonard has successfully fled the United States. His trade to the Toronto Raptors officially processed yesterday.

Andy and Dani go undercover! How can this super hot movie star fall in love with this super plain, short, ugly bodyguard woman? It's just toooooo crazy to even fathom, right? RIGHT?!? This poor woman...

Read OnlineBlinded by SelfJesus told his disciples a parable: “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?” Luke 6:39As we continue reading from Jesus' Sermon on the Plain, we encounter what is arguably the shortest parable in all of Scripture—just two brief rhetorical questions: “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?” Though concise, these lines present a powerful metaphor. Jesus places this parable within a broader moral discourse that warns against rash judgment and exhorts us to mercy. Just before today's Gospel, He commands, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6:37). In this context, the parable becomes a pointed reminder that those who are spiritually blind should not presume to lead others, lest they both stumble into error.This parable illustrates the importance of interior conversion before we attempt to guide others in the moral life. If we are blinded by pride, sin, or ignorance, we risk not only hurting ourselves but leading others astray as well. In that case, our failure to change—rooted in self-deception—becomes a stumbling block for those we influence.In a modern context, consider a counselor who gives harmful advice to someone in deep distress, a lawyer who misrepresents a client due to incompetence, or a doctor who negligently ignores clear signs of illness, resulting in greater suffering. In each case, the one entrusted with another's care fails in his duty, not necessarily out of ignorance, but often due to pride, laziness, or complacency.Spiritual blindness is even more dangerous. As the context of this parable suggests, it stems especially from judging, condemning, and refusing to forgive. These sins are destructive because they are cloaked in a false sense of righteousness. Judgment and condemnation foster pride, and pride blinds the soul to the profound depth of divine mercy we are called to extend—even toward those who have gravely wronged us.Immediately following this parable, Jesus offers three maxims that apply directly to its message. First, He says, “No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.” This affirms the need for humility and proper formation in the spiritual and moral life. We must become true disciples of Christ, submitting ourselves to His instruction, before presuming to teach or correct others in His name.Second, Jesus asks, “Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?” This descriptive image exposes the hypocrisy of focusing on the minor faults of others while remaining blind to our own far more serious sins.Finally, He declares, “You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye.” Only when we are purified by grace—when the blinding beam is removed from our own spiritual eyes—can we assist others in seeing the truth. Then, and only then, will our guidance flow from charity rather than pride, from wisdom rather than presumption.Reflect today on whether you try to guide others while remaining spiritually blind yourself. Consider moments when you may have judged, condemned, or withheld forgiveness, thinking you were justified. If so, recognize that Christ does not condemn you, but lovingly calls you to be healed by restoring your spiritual vision with His grace. Only through humility, honest self-examination, and sincere repentance can we be made clear-sighted and truly helpful to others.Most humble and perfect Lord, in Your human nature, You were the perfect expression of the Father's love, shining light into the darkness of our lives by revealing Your truth and mercy. Help me always to humble myself before You and to remain open to the formation You offer, so that I may not only draw closer to You, but also become a more faithful and powerful instrument of Your presence in the world. Jesus, I trust in You. Image via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Read OnlineDivine Love for the UnlovableJesus said to his disciples: “To you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic. Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.” Luke 6:27–30Love, do good, bless, and pray. These four commands form the heart of Jesus' exhortation in the Sermon on the Plain. They are not merely moral instructions or guiding principles, but are invitations to share in the very life of God through His Divine Mercy. Christian charity must extend to all people—even those who harm us—because authentic love is directed toward the image of God within every person, regardless of someone's behavior. These commands are the active expression of divine charity, showing that love is not a passive sentiment or fleeting feeling but a deliberate choice to will the good of the other, even at great personal cost.To love one's enemies requires a movement from natural emotion to supernatural grace. This is not a matter of ignoring evil. Rather, it is an intentional act of agapē—a love rooted in God and ordered toward the true and eternal good of the other. It does not excuse sin or downplay injustice. Instead, it conquers sin through mercy, just as Christ did upon the Cross. When Jesus cried out, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do,” He did not deny the gravity of their sin; He overcame and overpowered it with Divine Mercy. In this, He gave us the supreme example of what it means to love those who offend us.Doing good to those who hate you means responding to malice with goodness—not for the sake of superficial appeasement, but as a witness to the transforming power of grace. This active goodness breaks the cycle of retaliation—a common and deeply rooted struggle in first-century Israel—and reveals the presence of God's new and glorious Kingdom, in which grace replaces vengeance and mercy reigns over judgment. When we return good for evil, we imitate the God who causes the sun to rise on both the just and the unjust. This goodness may not always soften the heart of the one who hates, but it will never fail to sanctify the one who chooses to love.Blessing those who curse you means using your words not to wound in return, but to heal, intercede, and edify. A verbal blessing given in the face of curses is not a sign of weakness, but of an inner strength that comes only from union with Christ. It reflects the behavior of the saints, who suffered revilement and ridicule yet responded with praise, truth, and mercy. Such a blessing becomes a form of spiritual warfare, unmasking and disarming evil with the power of grace-filled speech. It turns the tongue into an instrument of redemption rather than revenge.Praying for those who mistreat you is the highest expression of forgiveness. It entrusts the offenders to God's mercy and seeks their conversion and salvation. Prayer lifts the burden of judgment from our shoulders and places it before the divine tribunal of love. In praying for our persecutors, we become most like Christ, who intercedes not only for His friends but even for those who drove the nails into His hands. This prayer has the power to transform hearts, including our own, and to bring reconciliation where human effort alone would fail. Reflect today on the power of God's mercy alive in your life. Such divine love is capable of overpowering sin, healing wounds, and restoring hope. Let Divine Mercy consume any resentment you harbor and soften every hardened corner of your heart. Then go forth and extend that same overpowering mercy to those who least deserve it, trusting that in doing so, you will be conformed to the heart of Christ, and that through you, His Kingdom of mercy will shine. Most merciful Lord, You never allowed the sins of others to deter You from loving them with a pure and holy love. You loved Your enemies, did good to those who hated You, blessed those who cursed You, and prayed for those who mistreated You. Please purify my heart and unite it with Your own, so that the love I offer others may flow first from You and then, through me, to them. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: The Sermon on the Mount, by Julius Schnorr von CarolsfeldSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Read OnlineA Paradigm Shift“Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.” Luke 6:20–23Normally, we do not consider poverty, hunger, grief, or being denounced and insulted by others to be good things. Yet at the very heart of His Sermon on the Plain, Jesus declares that those who experience such trials are truly blessed—that is, deeply joyful and spiritually fortunate. To be “blessed” in this sense is to be happy in the truest sense of the word. In contrast, those who are rich, well-fed, laughing, and socially esteemed face a serious spiritual danger. Most likely, as the vast crowd of disciples listened to Jesus preach this sermon, many were at least perplexed—if not outright shocked—by what they heard.Throughout the rest of the week, we will continue reading from this powerful sermon in which Jesus teaches about the necessity of loving one's enemies, refraining from judgment and condemnation, showing mercy, and building one's life upon the solid foundation of His words. These teachings were deeply countercultural and demanded a radical reorientation of the values that many of Jesus' disciples held dear. In order to accept His message, a paradigm shift was necessary—a complete reordering of their lives and foundational beliefs.The path of the Beatitudes leads through the Cross to the glory of God's Kingdom. To walk that path—marked by trials and tribulations—divine wisdom is essential. The disciples needed to shed their shallow and incomplete moral and spiritual convictions so that they could understand, embrace, and live a much deeper and richer way of living.Because we are quite familiar with Jesus' teachings and the Beatitudes, His words might not leave us shocked or even perplexed—unless we truly hear them, allow their meaning to take root in our lives, and permit them to effect the change they are meant to bring about. For this to happen, we must approach these teachings with humility, openness, and a willingness to let go of worldly values, so that the wisdom of the Cross may become the foundation of our lives. The Christian life is so much more than acting with kindness and gentleness, helping others, and making a difference within the community. Though those are essential qualities and duties, living the Beatitudes draws us much deeper into a life of holy and sacrificial love.The process of embracing the Beatitudes begins with our minds; we must understand their message. Poverty, hunger, grief, persecution, and every other trial we encounter must be faced and embraced with hope and with the firm belief that God can and will bring about a far greater good from the crosses we carry than if our lives were entirely free of suffering. This truth—that God brings good out of every cross—challenges us to the core of our thinking and must reshape our preconceived notions about what we prefer and dislike. We are blessed if we come to love every trial we are permitted to endure, even those very sufferings Jesus identifies in His sermon.Once we begin to see life through the lens of divine wisdom, as it is revealed in the Beatitudes, grace enables us to choose what we once would have avoided. The crosses we are given not only begin to make sense, they become objects of our desire because we recognize them as the means by which God brings about true and lasting happiness.Reflect today on one trial you are currently facing, and ask God to help you see it through the lens of the Beatitudes. Rather than running from the trial, what would happen if you embraced it with hope, trust, and even joy, knowing that it has the potential to lead you to holiness and eternal reward? Let the wisdom of Jesus' words penetrate your heart, and allow Him to reorder your thoughts and desires according to His perfect and merciful will.Lord of perfect Wisdom, Your Word shatters the wisdom of the world and reveals the true path to happiness and holiness. Help me to hear Your voice, understand Your wisdom and act upon it, making Your Truth the foundation of my life. Reorient my whole life according to Your will, and work all things for good—even the trials I endure.

Someone is finally making a full-cast, immersive audio experience of the Book of Mormon — without changing a single word of the text.In this episode we sit down with KJ from 1830 Studios to hear the first proof-of-concept chapters of 1 Nephi.He walks us through:Why most Book of Mormon audio / dramatization projects get started and then dieHow he's building an immersive soundscape + original soundtrack around the actual scripture textThe production challenges (time, money, and scale)Plans to do the entire Book of Mormon + the narrative books of the Bible in the same “audio universe”And of course… we dream-cast the voice actors (yes, Trump as King Noah made the cut)The current chapters are free. The goal is to keep the whole library free.

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks. We take the claims apart piece by piece.#JosephSmith #AntiMormon #Debunked #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: A new anti-Mormon trope is being born 1:30 – The Ethan Muse debate connection 3:00 – Optics in debates & looking “possessed” 5:00 – Double standards with other religious founders 8:00 – “Joseph Smith has the most encounters with demons” 9:10 – Replace “Joseph Smith” with “Jesus” and watch it fall apart 11:00 – The black sheep “demonic ritual” claim (Hurlbut affidavit) 14:00 – Why the sheep story is historically weak 16:00 – Doctor Philastus Hurlbut: the Mark Hofmann of his day 18:20 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 19:00 – The “toad spirit” / frog magic story 21:30 – Biblical prophets also had intense spiritual confrontations 23:00 – Job, Jacob wrestling the angel, and Saul on the road to Damascus 26:30 – The Harvey Whitlock “possession” during ordination 28:00 – Jesus' disciples also failed to cast out demons 30:00 – Joseph Smith successfully casting out demons (the part they leave out) 32:00 – Newel Knight's firsthand account of being healed 34:00 – “I'm just asking questions” energy 35:30 – Final thoughts: Gossip vs. real historyJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

I help entrepreneurs build brands to seven figures and then position them for a multi-million dollar payday. The playbook we use to do it is free: ► Get the free playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K Thorne is forty years old, and everything that made it worth $3.8 billion happened in the last three. It had gone public and lost more than half its value when a private equity group took it off the market, and Procter & Gamble has now agreed to buy it with the same products on the shelf. I break down the playbook L Catterton ran, why sales roughly doubled while the price went up more than five times, and the three things besides revenue that decide what a buyer pays you, whether you would rather buy a business like this one or build one worth buying. Resources mentioned in the episode: ► The $100K Playbook: https://capitalism.com/100K (0:00) The same company, the same products, and a $3.8 billion payday three years later (1:00) The products sitting on my desk are all saturated markets, and that is the point (2:00) The terms: Procter & Gamble, all cash, and why a deal like that closes (3:00) The seller is the real story: L Catterton, from Kodiak Cakes to Nutrafol (4:00) Buy the whole company, get it off the public exchange, run the playbook in private (5:00) The new CEO went back to basics and decided who Thorne was actually for (6:00) Direct-to-consumer acquisition, after years of selling only through physicians (7:00) Auto-ship, and why keeping the customer was worth more than getting them (8:00) They refused to discount the brand, and that is what protected the margins (9:00) Plain old fish oil, sold to the person who wants the best fish oil (10:00) Lesson one, follow the money: Nutrafol, Gruns, Onnit (11:00) Thorne grew by doing less, and retention mattered more than acquisition (12:00) The part that shocked me: sales doubled, the price went up more than 5X (13:00) What actually moves a valuation: leadership, a growth story, and timing (15:00) The two ways to compress forty years into three: buy a neglected brand, or run the playbook on your own (17:00) Primal Kitchen sold to Heinz, and the big money made it better DISCLAIMER: The information contained on this Podcast Channel and the resources available for download/viewing through this Podcast Channel are for educational and informational purposes only.
