We are back and celebrating 400 episodes of the Zelda Cast a few weeks later, and we've brought some friends along too! This week, we're joined by Adrielle Munger, Jules Gia, Nicole Scott, and Rod Lloyd to play a classic forum game called Hurt & Heal! The premise is simple: 20 Zelda characters start off with zero points, and each turn, players need to take a point away from a character and give a point to a different character! Every 3 rounds, the character with the lowest point total is eliminated! This is an episode you might want to watch the video of just to keep track! We're also taking a minute to acknowledge the horrible couple of weeks in the real world - stay strong and stay safe out there, friends. Thank you for all the support over these last 8 years!   Support The Zelda Cast on Patreon! Subscribe to receive the monthly bonus show ‘The Zelda XL featuring Andy and Gooey”! Follow The Zelda Cast!

Today, we're looking at Exodus 4 and finishing up God's call of Moses. In this chapter, we'll see that Moses was a man so lost in discouragement, it was affecting his obedience to the Lord. And yet, despite Moses' weaknesses, God will use him mightily. Join us as we continue our study through the Book of Exodus! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    By this point, Moses is a broken man of 80 years old who has blown one of the greatest opportunities that could be had in his day. However, God had a plan for Moses and has been using this time to perform some divine heart surgery in Moses' life. From what you already know about Moses, what has had to be transformed in his life before he could step into his role as the leader of the Jews? Are there any things in your life that need to be transformed in order for you to step into God's next chapter for you? 2.    In verse 1, Moses brings up a third concern to the Lord about this new assignment to take on Pharaoh. What was this concern? From a natural perspective was this reasonable? What does this show us about the source of Moses' thinking at this point? How do we sometimes view a situation "naturally" (which may even have wide agreement from others who know of the situation) but where we're still not viewing our situation from God's perspective?  3.    How did Moses' low view of himself cloud his view of God and his trust in the Lord? Is there any area in your life, where your view of yourself is affecting your view of God? If so, how can that be brought into submission to the Lord? 4.    According to the podcast, what is a true miracle? How did God demonstrate a couple of miracles to Moses? Why did God do this? How did Moses respond? 5.    In verse 5, what was the reason God gave for why He was going to perform these great signs and wonders in Egypt? How has God worked in your life to show you who He is?  6.    In verse 10, Moses brings up yet another concern. What is it? Who is Moses focusing on, again? How does this focus increase our own worries and corrupt both our view of God and our trust in His work in our life? 7.    In verse 11 & 12, what was the Lord's response to Moses' concerns? What was God's focus? How was this different than Moses? When we're facing difficulties, how can a person develop this kind of focus?  8.    After Moses finally agrees to obey the Lord and step into this new role, what does he tell Jethro his reason for going back to Egypt? Was this the real reason? What does this show us about Moses' level of commitment (at this point) to the Lord's mission?  9.    The previous question shows us that even now, Moses was not fully the man God was calling him to be. We sometimes think we have to be perfect in order for God to use us. Instead, from the example of Moses, what kinds are things is God looking for?  10.    In verses 24-26, we read about a very uncomfortable event. What happened? What did the podcast suggest about why this event even needed to take place? What does this teach us about the importance of a leader's example?  11.    In verse 31, when the people first heard of God's message by way of Moses, how did they respond?  12.    In this passage, Moses is 80 years old and he still hasn't gotten life figured out. Is there ever a point where we can stop growing in our knowledge, understanding and obedience to the Lord? Why or why not?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Today as we study Exodus 3, we'll see that from a human perspective, Moses' exile looked like the end of the line for him; and yet it was part of God's plan for Moses, and ultimately the Lord's people. Join us for this encouraging study in God's power, grace and redemption! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    How old is Moses in verse 1? How old was Abraham when the Lord called him from Ur? What does this tell us about God's plans for the wise and elderly people of our world?  2.    What was Moses doing for work in verse 1? How did the Egyptians view shepherds in Genesis 46:34? What do you think it would have been like doing something viewed this way by the surrounding culture?  3.    What is "Horeb" in verse 3?  4.    How did the Lord appear to Moses in verse 2? Where are some other places that God is referred to in this way? What does this represent? 5.    What did the podcasts suggest as to possible reasons that God has created so much fire in this universe?   6.    What was Moses' response to the Angel of the Lord in verse 6?  7.    What was the Lord aware of in verse 7? How might this encourage us when we go through difficulties in our own lives?  8.    In verse 8, the Lord tells Moses that He is going to bring His people to the Promised Land. According to verse 8, who was dwelling there at this time? What did that mean for Moses and the people?  9.    What was the underlying issue for Moses when he protests God's call in verse 11?  10.    What did Moses need to know, in verse 12, in order to go forward in obedience to God?  11.    What does the name "I am who I am" mean in verse 13? What did the podcast say as to why some people pronounce the name "Yahweh" as "Jehovah"?  12.    Overall, what was the Lord's mandate to Moses? In what ways is this like His mandate for our lives today?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

Exodus 2 has so much going on in it... a dramatic rescue of Moses, the amazing childhood blessing of growing up in Pharaoh's house, Moses' disappointing banishment, and the cry of God's people for deliverance. And yet, behind all of this is God's unseen hand of providence and provision. So, join us in our study of Exodus 2 as we see God's plan unfolding for His people! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Has there ever been a time when you have felt persecuted or oppressed or discouraged by some difficult circumstance in your life? How did that difficulty affect your mindset, happiness or ability to thrive? In this passage, how do we see God's presence holding back the impact of the Egyptian persecution on the Jews? When the book of Exodus opens, how many years have passed since the end of the Book of Genesis? How does this tie into the Lord's prophecy to Abraham in Genesis 15:13? 2.    What did the podcast suggest about the importance of the fact that Amram and Jochebed knew they were from the tribe of Levi?  3.    What was Pharaoh's command for Jewish baby boys back in Exodus 1:16? 4.    How did God ordain and orchestrate the very moments of Moses' rescue in verses 4 & 5?  5.    How might Moses' childhood contribute to his mindset in verses 11 and 12 when he killed the Egyptian?  6.    Moses ended up feeling to Midian for 40 years. How might this have been a disappointment to his own plans and expectations for his life? How did God use this time to purify Moses? Has He done similar work in your life?  7.    What does verse 25 tell us about the attention of God for His people? How did the podcast suggest that God had arranged the details of their rescue? How did the Lord work out the details in your own life for you to know Him and call upon Him to be your Lord and Savior?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

On this episode of Tales From Hollywoodland, the crew takes a heartfelt trip back through Hollywood history to celebrate some of the most unforgettable second acts ever put on film — the stories of the true Hollywood Comeback Kids. These are the stars who once ruled the screen, quietly faded from the spotlight, and then stunned the world by coming back stronger than ever. We revisit Frank Sinatra's career-saving triumph in From Here to Eternity, John Travolta's jaw-dropping return in Pulp Fiction, and Robert Downey Jr.'s inspiring rise from troubled talent to global superstar. We also explore the powerful later-career chapters of legends like Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn, and Demi Moore, and how the right role at the right time reminded audiences why they fell in love with these stars in the first place. Join us as we reminisce about the movies, moments, and performances that gave these actors a second chance at stardom. It's a nostalgic celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the magic of the silver screen — because in Hollywood, sometimes the greatest stories happen after the comeback. We want to hear from you! Feedback is always welcome.

Genesis 49 is one of those Key Chapters that we might normally overlook; and yet this passage actually gives us several critical prophecies regarding the future of Israel, the nature of the kingdom and her King. So rather than being a chapter we should overlook, instead, this is one that we should dive into. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The study opens with how the book of Genesis is ultimately about the "genesis" of this new nation, dedicated to God. As we close out our study in the book of Genesis, we have seen the Lord use very imperfect people. What does this show us about how God can use imperfect people today? How has God used you, even in your imperfections, to further His kingdom? 2.    In verse 2, the Lord refers to Jacob as "Israel." The name "Israel" means "contends/struggles with God." God gave Jacob this name back in Genesis 32. What is the significance of Jacob referring to himself as "Israel" in this passage? 3.    Although Reuben had moments of strength and dignity, he also had episodes of serious weakness. According to the study, what were some long-term consequences of his moral failures? Along those lines, according to 1st Chronicles 5:1, who was Reuben's birthright given to? Why?  4.    Simeon and Levi also suffered long-term consequences for their sins committed back in Genesis 34 when they defended their sister's honor by killing all the men of Shechem. Later on, what were the land allocations for the tribes of Simeon and Levi? What did this suggest as to why their sin would cause them to lose their land promise among the sons of Israel? 5.    Why was it so surprising that Judah would receive such a prophecy in Genesis 49:8-12? How was this prophecy later fulfilled in passages such as Judges 1:2 and later in the kings, and ultimately in the life of Jesus? 6.    The prophecy about Judah in Genesis 49:8-12 is the last of the three great prophecies of the Messiah. The other two are Genesis 3:15 and 22:18. What did these other prophecies foretell about the Messiah?  7.    The study concluded by saying that these prophecies in Genesis 49 form a blueprint for the nation of Israel. From reading these prophecies, how would you characterize what this nation was to look like?  8.    The nation prophesied in this passage would one day come to an earthly end and give way to the nation of the Messiah. In what ways will the Messianic kingdom be different from the kingdom that Jacob outlines here?  9.    Genesis 49 is a concluding chapter to the Book of Genesis. In many ways, it is the climax and Genesis 50 is like an epilogue. In your own words, how would describe the events that have led from Genesis 1 to Genesis 49?

People will hurt us, that's a fact of life. The question is, how do we respond? Even more challenging is the question of how to find true forgiveness and reconciliation when that hurt runs deep. Join us today in our study of Genesis 40-45 and learn from Joseph's example of forgiveness and reconciliation.  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What events in Joseph's life led up to these chapters? How did Joseph respond to them? Where did his ability to respond this way come from? Does your walk with the Lord reflect similar strength? Why or why not?  2.    What do you think of how Joseph responded when he first re-met his brothers? How might you have responded if you saw your brothers for the first time, decades after they sold you into slavery?  3.    The study explained that forgiveness is when we do not require a person to repay a debt. What debt did Joseph's brothers owe Joseph? Have you ever received this kind of forgiveness? Have you ever extended this kind of forgiveness?  4.    The study made a distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation. How are they different? How is this distinction helpful when working through complex and painful issues between us and someone else?  5.    How is Genesis 40-45 an example of the difficult work that goes into forgiveness and reconciliation? Why does Joseph have his brothers go through all these different tests? How did their responses demonstrate a true heart change in their lives?  6.    Joseph's brothers failed many of his tests, yet Joseph kept seeking reconciliation with them. Would you have been willing to put this much effort into it? Have you tried this hard to reconcile with someone? How did it go? 7.    How did Joseph respond when he saw the heart change of his brothers? How did this move them down the path toward true forgiveness and reconciliation?  8.    What spiritual principles can we learn and apply from Genesis 45:5 and Genesis 50:19? How might these two verses relate to our lives when we face difficulty and adversity? 9.    What was the outcome (short-term and long-range) of Joseph and his brothers being able to work through these issues and coming to a place of true forgiveness and reconciliation? How do we still enjoy the benefit of their reconciliation? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

In today's episode, I'm discussing some progress I've made on the Rocketeer game that I started a number of years ago.  I was learning to use the program before by making a one level demo game which ended up being the precursor to the story and card game of The Rocketeer vs the Third Reich.  But I'd always meant to get back to the actual video game.  In the past two weeks, I had to reacquaint myself to the program, Gdevelop5, and pickup where I left off a few years ago.  I discuss some of the design challenges and decisions I've been working through recently.  More details can be found in this youtube video:  https://youtu.be/0wvP29BKk-kOne thing I did in preparation was play replay the NES version of The Rocketeer - a very frustrating game made much better by using emulation, save states, cheat codes, and the developer's code, which gives you essentially infinite weapons and health as well as ready access to rocketfuel, which I always found in very short supply in the game.   Playing the game on God mode (which made it tolerable) essentially drive home two points - 1.) sometimes difficulty does not make a great game in that it may simply discourage play rather than motivate it, and 2.) you shouldn't overly limit something's best feature (in this case, flying - that should have been easier and more prominent in the game).  The cut scenes, however, were very well done, some of which you can see below: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2026/01/19/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-545-and-like-a-hood-ornament-88-updates-on-the-rocketeer-vs-the-third-reich-video-game-1/ More to come next week!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

Life doesn't always go the way we want; and today as we begin to look at Joseph's life, we'll see that indeed, things didn't start out the way Joseph would have wanted either; but God had sovereign plans for Joseph's life and He was going to use Joseph to save His people. We may not always understand why God is doing what He does; but we know He has good and wise reasons. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Joseph grew up without his birth mom because Rachel died in Genesis 35. He had multiple stepmoms, 10 older brothers, and a dad who seemed to be disconnected from the dynamics of his own family. What kind of environment was this for growing up in? What was Joseph's relationship like with all these people? 2.    The study explained Joseph's robe signified his dignity over his brothers. What kind of animosity did this favoritism produce between Joseph and his brothers? How did the Lord use this division to bring about His will? Has God ever used something seemingly insignificant in your life to change the path you were on? 3.    What were the dreams Joseph had and what did they signify? What reaction did this produce between Joseph and his brothers? 4.    Although Joseph could have handled his family situation with more delicacy, he was not wrong in telling his brothers about these dreams. Has there been a time when you learned a spiritual principle, but when you told others, they reacted poorly? What can we learn from this? 5.    Joseph's brothers sinned against Joseph, yet we know from Genesis 50:20, that this was part of God's plan. What does this tell us about God's sovereign will? Why does God sometimes use sin and sinners to accomplish His purposes? 6.    In verse 21, Reuben convinced his brothers not to kill Joseph. How did that decision change history for the children of Israel? 7.    Even though Joseph was going through such hardship, he was exactly in God's will. Does God promise us a life of ease if we are faithful to Him? How is Joseph's life a reminder for us to trust the Lord no matter what He brings into our lives? 8.    The study summarized Joseph's life from Genesis 37 to 44. How did Joseph respond amid life's troubles? Where did this strength come from? 9.    No doubt, when Joseph was facing the challenges of Genesis 37-44, his life had not worked out the way he had hoped. Ultimately, why did God allow him to go through these sufferings (see also Genesis 45:7, 50:20)? What kind of hope does this give us when we face difficulties in our own life? 10.    Thirteen chapters are dedicated to the life of Joseph, with a total content exceeding the content of Abraham's life by 25 percent. One reason for this might be to help us see the similarities between the life of Joseph and Jesus. How are both of their lives similar? Or to use theological terms, how is Joseph's life a "type" of Jesus? (A type is a theological term referring to something in the Old Testament that foreshadows Jesus).

The story of Jacob is well-known to students of the Bible. What may not be as well known is why God would bless a man whose character, at first, was so clearly out of sorts with godliness. Today we'll learn about the path the Lord used to bring Jacob to a place of faith, trust and obedience. Join us in this face-paced look at Genesis 28, which also will skim Genesis 25, 26, & 27! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    When was there a time in your life where you consciously made a life decision in light of your standing as a member of God's people? What was the outcome of that decision?  2.    Take a moment to evaluate your personal commitment to the kingdom of God. On a scale of 1 to 10, how committed are you to reflecting God's kingdom now and investing in God's kingdom to come? Why did you choose that number?  3.    Why do you think that the Lord allowed Isaac and Rebekah to not be able to have children until later in life? What impact would this (or should this) have on the spiritual lessons they would teach their children? Did it? 4.    How would you describe the family dynamics in Isaac's household? What kind of problems did their favoritism create? Who was responsible to rectify these problems? What are some possible reasons for why these problems weren't properly addressed?  5.    In Genesis 25:23, what was the Lord's promise to Rebekah about the twins she was bearing? How is this promise important as the story of Jacob's life unfolds?  6.    What were God's promises to Isaac in Genesis 26:3 and 4? How was this similar to the Lord's promises to Abraham? What would these promises also indicate about Isaac's role as the patriarch of his family? What would these promises mean for the role one of his sons would have over these future descendants?  7.    In Genesis 25:27-34, why do you think Esau sold his birthright to Jacob? Was this a true "sale"? Was the birthright his to "sell" anyway? How does this set the tone for the unraveling of Esau's role as firstborn?  8.    In Genesis 26:34-45, Esau marries two Hittite women. What significance might his marriage have on the direction of his leadership over the descendants of Abraham?  9.    Esau didn't cherish his birthright because he didn't cherish God's promises. If he did, what would that have looked like in his life? What does it look like, in our world today, to cherish God's promises and live in light of them? Why is this sometimes difficult to do?  10.    Although the study didn't address very much from Genesis 26, you have probably read it by now. As you reflect upon the events of Genesis 26, what do they show you about the quality of Isaac's faith? Why do you think his faith was like this?  11.    The Bible often reminds us that although we are to walk in God's ways, it's not to curry His favor, but rather to glorify Him. Both Abraham and Isaac show us that God uses imperfect people. Why do you think that is? What encouragement does this give you if and when you struggle in your walk?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

On the surface, the account of God calling Abraham to offer Isaac is one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. We can't imagine God actually calling any of His people to do such a thing. But we'll see in today's episode, that when we understand the context of this passage, and what Abraham knew to be true, we'll see that it was an amazing step of faith that actually shows us the kind of faith that God calls us all to. Please join us in this important study in God's Word!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Using a Bible atlas or online atlas, locate Beersheba on the map to the right. Also, locate the Wilderness of Moriah on the map. What importance does each of these locations have in Genesis 22? 2.    This chapter contains God's command to Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. While we know how the story ends, this would be an unsettling command for anyone to hear. How does the miraculous origin of Isaac's conception help us understand why Abraham was so calm in his obedience to the Lord? How do the words "we" and "return" in verse 5 give us a window into Abraham's mindset as he obeyed the Lord?  3.    In verse 8, Abraham assures Isaac that the Lord will provide a sacrifice. How has Abraham seen the provision of the Lord in his life before this? How have you seen the Lord provide in your life? How might dwelling upon God's prior provision give us strength in times of present distress? 4.    Think about Isaac's age in this passage. Do you think a 120-year-old man could have physically put Isaac on the altar? What would have had to happen in order for Isaac to get on it? How does this likelihood help us understand Isaac's role in this event? 5.    Isaac was Abraham's only link to something and someone. What and Who was Isaac the link to? What kind of faith did Abraham demonstrate by being willing to break this link, if that was to be the Lord's will? 6.    This passage also gives us a picture of the substitutionary death of Christ. How? What did God's substitute mean for Isaac? What does Christ's substitute mean for us? 7.    Verses 16 to 18 contain one of the most important promises in the Old Testament regarding who the offspring of Abraham are. Who are the "four seeds" suggested in the lesson? Which ones will be in God's Eternal Kingdom? Why? Are you among the believing seed spoken of in these verses? 8.    Genesis 22 shows the kind of faith that this new nation would be founded upon. How would you summarize Abraham's faith and obedience from this event? Where does this kind of faith come from? 9.    Are there any situations in your life where you simply need to trust and obey God as Abraham did here? Are you able to trust and obey Him? Why or why not?  10.    Have you ever sung the children's song, "Father Abraham"? It says that he had many sons. In light of what the lesson has taught about this passage, who are those sons? When the song says, "I am one of them, and so are you," what does that mean? Is that true of you? Why or why not? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

In this episode of Plugged In, host Chuck Hanna welcomes Brian Smith, Director of Nuclear Reactor Development at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), for a wide-ranging conversation on the role of advanced nuclear in meeting growing energy demand. Drawing on Smith's career across the U.S. Navy, Department of Energy and now INL, they explore why nuclear is both a current backbone of the U.S. grid and a critical solution for the future. They cover how small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors are expanding nuclear's use cases, from grid-scale power to remote communities and data centers, along with INL's role in de-risking, piloting and accelerating commercialization through partnerships with private industry. Smith also shares insights on grid resilience, cybersecurity, federal-industry collaboration and why “nuclear now” is an essential part of delivering reliable, low-carbon energy at scale. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in…  Advanced nuclear technologies and their evolving role (03:13)  Use cases for SMRs beyond the grid (04:33)  How INL supports commercialization (06:24)  How SMR use cases are shifting (09:28)  Data centers, AI load growth, and the demand for reliable power (11:40)  Bridging the “valley of death” between research and commercialization (14:30)  INL's role in energy and infrastructure security (19:11)  Why nuclear is a “now” solution (22:43)  For full episode show notes, click here.

In "Building the Connected Transportation Ecosystem: A Conversation with Trimble's Michael Kornhauser", Joe Lynch and Michael Kornhauser, Vice President of Trimble, discuss how integrated data and precision mapping create a more secure, efficient, and connected transportation ecosystem. About Michael Kornhauser Michael Kornhauser is sector vice president of Trimble, leading Transportation & Logistics in North America. With more than 20 years in various leadership roles, Michael has proven to be an astute and dynamic leader with deep industry understanding and passion for delivering superior customer value. Kornhauser, along with Dan Popkin, established the European operations and development of the successful CoPilot business and guided the ALK Technologies business integration into Trimble. Under his leadership, Trimble's mapping solutions have become highly recognized and respected throughout the North American trucking and rail industries. He studied at Trinity College, where he received a research grant from NASA and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering. About Trimble Transportation Trimble Transportation provides fleets with solutions to create a fully integrated supply chain. With an intelligent ecosystem of products and services, Trimble Transportation enables customers to embrace the rapid technological evolution of the industry and connect all aspects of transportation and logistics — trucks, drivers, back office, freight and assets. Trimble Transportation delivers an open, scalable platform to help customers make more informed decisions and maximize performance, visibility and safety. Key Takeaways: Building the Connected Transportation Ecosystem In "Building the Connected Transportation Ecosystem: A Conversation with Trimble's Michael Kornhauser", Joe Lynch and Michael Kornhauser, Vice President of Trimble, discuss how integrated data and precision mapping create a more secure, efficient, and connected transportation ecosystem. The Power of a Global, Integrated Ecosystem: Trimble is no longer just a collection of individual tools; it is an intelligent ecosystem designed to connect all aspects of the supply chain—trucks, drivers, back offices, and freight. Because many of Trimble's customers are multinational, the company provides a global footprint that ensures consistency in data and operations, whether a shipment is moving through North America, Europe, or beyond. Industry Under Attack: Prioritizing Cybersecurity: Kornhauser emphasizes that the transportation industry is "under attack" from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. To combat this, Trimble invests over $100 million annually in R&D, with a significant portion dedicated to cybersecurity. By partnering with giants like Microsoft, they ensure that even small carriers using their platform have enterprise-grade protection that they couldn't afford to build on their own. The "Four Revolutions" of Transportation Tech: Michael outlines the technological shifts that have defined the industry: GPS: The foundation that allowed for real-time tracking (which Trimble pioneers helped patent). TMS (Transportation Management Systems): The transition from paper to digital "ERPs for trucking." ELD Mandate: Moving from selective enforcement to universal, data-driven safety and compliance. AI: The current revolution, focusing on automation, predictive agents, and massive efficiency gains. Strategic AI Implementation: "Eating Our Own Cooking": Unlike startups that may take a "move fast and break things" approach, Trimble is highly measured with AI. They are currently using AI internally to write code and improve customer support agents before rolling those features out to their Fortune 500 clients. This ensures that the "always-on" nature of global logistics isn't disrupted by experimental tech. The TMS as the "System of Record": Despite the many apps and sensors in a modern truck, the Transportation Management System (TMS) remains the heart of the ecosystem. Michael explains that Trimble's strategy is to keep the TMS as the central hub where "Order-to-Cash" workflows live, while connecting specialized tools (like maintenance or navigation) seamlessly into that single source of truth. Precision Mapping for "People Who Drive for Work": A major differentiator for Trimble is their proprietary mapping (PC Miler and CoPilot). Unlike consumer apps like Waze, Trimble's mapping is built for heavy-duty trucks, accounting for bridge heights, hazmat restrictions, and even specific entry/exit gates at massive industrial complexes. This "last mile" precision is often the difference between a profitable trip and a costly delay. A "Customer-First" Partner Philosophy: Trimble embraces an open platform, hosting hundreds of partners—including some competitors. Michael highlights that the goal is to eliminate the "swivel chair" effect, where a dispatcher has to jump between 10 different monitors. By allowing third-party apps (like fuel cards or specialized sensors) to integrate into the Trimble stack, they provide carriers with the flexibility to build the specific "tech stack" their niche requires.

The birth of Isaac was the fulfillment of a 25 years wait for Abraham and Sarah; and yet, this fulfillment of God's promises sets up several other key events in the Bible. So join us as we continue to explore God's Word and how its message fits together and even applies to our lives today!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What miracle happens in Genesis 21? Why does this miracle help us understand the message of Genesis 22 when God calls Abraham to offer up Isaac?  2.    What were God's promises to Abraham in the preceding chapters and why was the birth of Isaac a necessary step in bringing about the fulfillment of those promises?  3.    How was this miracle fulfilled in both Abraham's and Sarah's life? How old were they at the time of Isaac's birth? 4.    How long did it take between God's first promises to Abraham back in Genesis 12 and their fulfillment here in chapter 21? How do you think Abraham and Sarah felt during that time? What kinds of things do you think they were telling themselves as they waited for the Lord to fulfill His promises? How might you have been working through such a long delay? 5.    Back in Genesis 16, Abraham had a son with Hagar named Ishmael. How was Ishmael's conception different than Isaac's? What importance does that difference have in the identity and role of the children of Israel?  6.    What was Sarah's response to Ishmael's mocking in verse 10? What was the impact of her response on Hagar and Ishmael's life? How old did the study suggest that Ishmael was? Why would this be different than Abraham abandoning a child?  7.    After Hagar and Ishmael leave Abraham's household, the Lord visits her in her distress. The study explained part of the comfort and encouragement the Lord gave to her was by clarifying what resources and solutions were within her reach. What were they? How can this help us in our own prayers when we cry out to the Lord in our own times of distress?  8.    The study mentioned that as people grew in their understanding of God, it changed how they referred to Him. Melchizedek called upon God as "El Elyon" meaning "God most High" in Genesis 14:19. Hagar called upon God as "El Roi" meaning "the God who sees" in Genesis 16:13. Abraham calls upon Him as "El Olam" meaning "The Everlasting God" here in Genesis 21. Which of these names has the most significance to you and why?   Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

Genesis 19 is one of the most well-known and most unsettling passages in the entire Bible. Yet this is a key chapter with a key message that we need to understand. So, today in our study of God's Word, we'll look at God's judgment upon Sodom and Gomorrah and how it is a message of warning for judgment on sin, but also a message of hope and salvation. Please join us as we continue our journey together through God's Word.  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Genesis 19 records God's judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis 18:20ff, how does the Lord describe the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah and His judgment upon them? What was Abraham's bargain for God to not destroy these cities? Did the Lord find that many righteous people?  2.    What was Lot's reaction to this visit from the angels in verse 1? Why did Lot treat them this way? Do you think Lot knew they were angels? 3.    In Genesis 19:3, why do you think Lot was so persistent that these foreigners stay with him? Might it be because he knew the nature of the city in which he lived? 4.    How did the people of the town respond to these men staying with Lot? What does the fact that this crowd was comprised of both "young and old" show us about why such a thorough, annihilating judgment was needed?  5.    What do we make of Lot's offer of his daughter to this crowd? How is this an example of the city's influence on Lot's moral compass? What warning does this give to us about being overly influenced by our own society?  6.    What can we make of the fact that in Genesis 19:11, the angels struck the people with blindness but they still tried to find the doorway, even though they could not see it?  7.    What can we make of the Lord's delay of judgment on this city, where the Lord waited for Lot and his family to first get to safety? What does this show us about God's mercy and grace? 8.    Genesis 19 ends with a troubling account of Lot's daughters and Lot himself. What does this show us about how people sometimes rationalize their own sin?  9.    This chapter shows us how people in God's covenant live differently than those who are not. How is this spiritual reality demonstrated in Lot, his family and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?  10.    This chapter also shows us what sins will not be among the kingdom people of God. Paul makes a similar point in 1st Corinthians 6:9-11. What are some of the sins we see in this chapter? How does the revulsion we feel about the sins of the chapter show us how the Lord views anyone's sin?   11.    Finally, this chapter shows us that God will condemn sin in all its forms. What does this judgment look like? What will God's ultimate judgment look like?    Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

In "The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making", Joe Lynch and Shaman Ahuja, Deputy CEO of Optym, discuss how applied AI and optimization maximize fleet utilization and driver profitability. About Shaman Ahuja Shaman Ahuja is currently serving as the Deputy CEO of Optym, a company specializing in prepackaged software solutions. With a robust background in technology and product management, he has held various leadership positions within Optym, showcasing his ability to drive innovation and efficiency. He began his professional journey as an intern and has progressively climbed the ranks, demonstrating a strong commitment to his career growth. His educational foundation in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University has equipped him with the skills necessary to excel in the competitive landscape of technology and his experience at firms like Goldman Sachs further underscores his capability and adaptability in high-pressure environments. He is passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex business challenges and is dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence within his teams. About Optym Optym, Inc. is a global leader in optimization and applied AI solutions for the transportation and logistics industry. For more than two decades, Optym has partnered with some of the world's largest trucking, airline, and rail companies to solve their most complex operational challenges. Its flagship products—including LoadAi and RouteMax—empower carriers, brokers, and fleets to maximize efficiency, increase profitability, and make smarter, data-driven decisions. Backed by deep expertise in operations research, optimization science, and machine learning, Optym builds technology that turns real-world complexity into simple, actionable workflows. Key Takeaways: The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making In "The Optym Advantage: Smarter Routing, Planning, and Decision Making", Joe Lynch and Shaman Ahuja, Deputy CEO of Optym, discuss how applied AI and optimization maximize fleet utilization and driver profitability. Optimization vs. Standard Routing: Shaman clarifies that Optym is not a turn-by-turn navigation tool. While standard routing focuses on the best path from Point A to Point B, Optym's "Decision Support" focuses on load assignment. It determines which load a driver should take next, considering all drivers and constraints simultaneously to create a holistic weekly plan for the entire fleet. Targeting the "Enterprise" Complexity: The software is specifically designed for enterprise fleets, generally starting at 200 trucks. At this scale, manual planning on whiteboards becomes inefficient. Optym solves the "utilization problem"—ensuring trucks aren't sitting idle and drivers aren't wasting hours waiting at docks—by identifying "juice to squeeze" in large, complex networks. Strategy Pivot: From TMS to Integration: Originally, Optym built its own TMS (LoadOps) to ensure data quality. However, they realized large fleets are reluctant to switch TMS providers due to operational disruption. Optym pivoted to a "Killer App" layer that integrates directly with industry standards like Trimble and McLeod, acting as a specialized intelligence layer rather than a replacement for core systems. Advanced Operational Models: Relay and "Meet & Turn": A core feature of the software is optimizing complex maneuvers like Relays (handing off trailers between drivers) and Meet & Turns (two drivers meeting at a midpoint to swap loads). By automating these schedules, fleets can keep drivers within a specific radius, allowing them to be home every night while keeping the assets moving 24/7. Bridging the "Tribal Knowledge" Gap:The industry faces a crisis as veteran planners (who "know the network in their sleep") retire. Younger, tech-savvy employees expect modern interfaces. Optym's AI captures that "tribal knowledge" and turns it into data-driven suggestions, allowing a new hire to be as productive as a 30-year veteran within a week. Proven ROI and Efficiency Gains: Shaman shares a case study of a 900-truck fleet where Optym's pilot program covered the same amount of freight using 100 fewer drivers. This represents a nearly 20% reduction in driver costs. To lower the risk for new clients, Optym offers a 5x ROI guarantee, promising to generate $5 in value for every $1 spent. Enhancing Driver Lifestyle through Predictability: Beyond the math, the software addresses the "human" element of trucking. By using AI agents to reschedule appointments based on real-time ETAs and reducing wasted "dwell time" at shippers, Optym creates a more predictable schedule. This reduces the stress and sleep deprivation that contribute to the high health risks faced by long-haul drivers.

Circumcision is an uncomfortable Bible topic that we truly need to know and understand...perhaps not the specifics but we do need to understand the profound reason for it. When we don't understand the spiritual principles that are interwoven into this ancient ritual, we'll miss how it truly demonstrates a parent's faith in God's covenant, even as they gave their son a constant reminder to be in covenant with God himself. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Read through Genesis 17 and circle every occurrence of the word "you." What does this tell us about whose faith is being demonstrated in this chapter?  2.    Read through Genesis 17 and underline the verses that you think are the keys to this chapter. Why do you think those verses are central to understanding this chapter?  3.    When the Lord called Abram to be blameless in Genesis 17:1, what did that mean? What would Abraham's blamelessness indicate about his faith? 4.    What is the significance of the fact the Lord said Abram would be the "father of a multitude of nations" in verse 4? 5.    What did God change Abram's name to in verse 5? Why did He make this change? What did Abram's new name mean? What did this new name teach him about his role in this world?  6.    Regarding circumcision, according to the study, originally who was supposed to circumcise the baby boy? What did the act of circumcision show about the father's faith?  7.    What does circumcision mean for the baby who is being circumcised? Did that boy still have to enter into covenant with the Lord? How?  8.    What did the study suggest for why females were not circumcised? Do you agree? Why or why not?  9.    According to verse 14, if a man refused to circumcise his son, or if a man refused to be circumcised himself, what happened to his covenant with God?  10.    How did Abraham respond to this instruction? What did his response indicate about his covenant with the Lord? 11.    What do you think the conversation would have been like as Abraham told his family and male servants about God's command to circumcise all the males in the home?  12.    What is the true circumcision we are still to undergo today? Have you undergone this spiritual "circumcision of the heart"? If so, what does it look like in your life? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Genesis 15 contains some of the most important promises in the entire Bible. These are God's promises to Abraham (and ultimately to us) about the establishment of a nation of descendants who would follow God and walk with Him. And while these are promises to Abraham, we see that these are promises to anyone who will call upon God in faith. Join us for the study in Genesis 15! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    According to the study, how many years have passed since the Lord first met with Abram back in Genesis 12? How would that delay have impacted your faith in God's promises? How did it impact Abram?  2.    When God reiterated His promises to Abram, what practical problem did Abram point to in verses 2 and 3? Why would this have seemed to be a problem to Abram? Why is this not a problem to God? Are there any principles we can glean from this regarding the problems we face in our lives? 3.    What was the Lord's response to Abram's concerns in verses 3 and 4? In what ways would God's solution only come about by means of a miracle? 4.    Verse 6 says Abram believed the Lord and the Lord reckoned it to Abram as righteousness. When God "reckons" a person to be righteous, what does that mean for them? Why is this reckoning by God necessary to inherit these promises and be a citizen of His kingdom?  5.    When verse 6 says Abram "believed God," how is this different than having a "faith" that is just a wispy hope? How was true faith reflected in Abram's life? Why did God declare Abraham to be righteous based on his faith and not his works? 6.    The later part of Genesis 15 records the covenant God made with Abram. What was Abram's role in this covenant? What was God's role? What is the significance of these two roles? Similarly, in our covenant with God that we have made through Christ, what is God's role, and what is ours? 7.    Genesis 15 speaks to the nation God would establish through Abram. While most modern believers in Christ are not related to Abram by blood, they are related to him by faith. Are you part of this kingdom? How does your life reflect these truths?

This week's episode was recorded prior to the holidays with two gentlemen who have both been on he show multiple times, Joseph Esch (with a few guest appearances from family members) and Adam Crohn.  There was no particular agenda other than catching up with each other and talking about Joe's first experience being a vendor at a toy convention.  We ended up commiserating on having tables at similar such conventions and fairs, the pitfalls of generative AI and digital living, especially with children, and the quiet revolution against such things happening in some parts of the country / with some families.   In 2026, I'm planning to do more like this, previously something I saved for centennial episodes.  On a smaller scale, though, I think they are nice ways of building and maintaining a sense of community, with is something we need now more than ever.   If you enjoyed this outing, you can find Adam, Joe, and I all together on podcasts about The Lost Boys (parts 1 and 2) as well as on Rambo: First Blood (Parts 1 and 2 ) as well as their epic collaboration on Steakuums:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X1SL5qKqAEWishing you the best in the new year!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?
