Macau–onetime Portuguese colony, now casino hotspot–has long captured the imaginations of travelers, reporters, artists and writers. The city served as the only gateway to China for centuries; then, after the rise of Hong Kong, its slightly seedier vibe made it a popular setting for books, articles and movies exploring the more criminal elements of society. Paul French joins us, once again, to talk about his new book Destination Macao (Blacksmith Books: 2024) the latest book in his Destination series. We chat about colonies and casinos, but also some of the lesser-known parts of Macau's history, like an aborted British attempt to invade Macau in 1808; furious media rumors in 1935 about Japan's interest in buying the colony, and the city's brief time as an aviation hub for the Pan Am Clipper. Paul French was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times Bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.

O que pode separar você do amor de Deus? Em Romanos 8:34–35, o apóstolo Paulo apresenta cinco provas irrefutáveis da segurança eterna do crente. Jesus morreu, ressuscitou, subiu aos céus, assentou-se à direita de Deus e intercede por nós. Isso significa que ninguém pode destruir, processar, condenar ou afastar o crente de Deus. Nem mesmo o pecado, a dúvida, a perseguição ou a morte podem quebrar essa ligação. Neste episódio, você vai redescobrir a beleza do evangelho: nossa salvação não depende do que fazemos, mas do que Cristo já fez. E porque Ele está por nós, nada — absolutamente nada — pode nos separar do Seu amor. Essa é a verdadeira esperança, a verdadeira segurança, a verdadeira vida eterna.

Our guest in this episode is Mike Wittenstein, the founder of Storyminers and a brilliant strategist who helps leaders become true architects of their future. Mike masterfully blends the art of deep listening with the science of new technology to forge innovative paths forward. In our fascinating conversation, he explains how we can use AI as a powerful co-pilot, not to diminish our humanity, but to amplify our strategic thinking and create even deeper connections.Key points discussed include:* Use AI to handle analysis, freeing you for genuine, heart-to-heart conversations with clients and colleagues.* Your greatest differentiator in the age of AI is simply becoming more authentically you through deeper self-knowledge.* Turn AI into your personal coach to mindfully track your evolution and accelerate your personal and professional growth.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

So much has happened in the world since our last conversation in episode 532. Back then, we explored how powerful stories grow from deep listening, which feels like the perfect foundation for what we discussed this time: how to apply that same human-centered philosophy in the rapidly expanding world of AI.Mike is approaching this new technological wave not as a simple tool for productivity, but as a way to fundamentally improve the creative and strategic work that leaders do. He shared his belief that in a world changing so quickly, executives can no longer get by on just setting new target numbers. They must become true "architects," as he puts it, who can clearly define and envision the future. It's a call to elevate our thinking, and he's using AI to help chart the course.The Grand Experiment: An End-to-End Consulting Journey with an AI Co-pilotMike recently put this philosophy to the ultimate test by running an entire consulting engagement, from the very first client meeting to the final deliverables, using ChatGPT Pro as his partner. He kicked things off with a crucial step: complete transparency. He informed his client that he would be using the tool extensively but also promised that his own expertise and experience would touch every single word of the final output, ensuring accountability and quality.The results of this experiment were remarkable. The AI became the project's perfect "collector of all the information," creating an infallible memory that got smarter and more fine-tuned with every interaction. This new process allowed him and his client to accomplish five full iterations of their strategy in the same amount of calendar time it would normally take to do just one. More than the efficiency, Mike noted he had much higher confidence in the work because he essentially had "hundreds of co-thinkers" contributing to the process.The "Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart" Conversation, Amplified by AIPerhaps the most compelling outcome was a beautiful paradox: using a machine for the analytical heavy lifting actually paved the way for deeper human connection. Mike described how he could feed conversation transcripts to his AI and ask it to extract to-dos, pinpoint moments where someone had a change of heart, or highlight key themes. This freed him from the burden of being a constant, meticulous note-taker during meetings.By offloading that task, he could be fully present with his client, engaging in the kind of "honest eye to eye, heart to heart conversation" that is so often lost in the shuffle of agendas and action items. It's a powerful testament to how technology, when used thoughtfully, can remove distractions and allow us to focus on the genuine dialogue where the most profound strategic insights are born.The AI Toolkit: Genius Hacks for Traffic Jams, Doctor's Visits, and MeetingsMike is a fountain of practical, real-world applications for AI that go far beyond writing emails. He shared a brilliant hack involving the "Hey, Otter" voice command during meetings. By saying the trigger phrase followed by an instruction, like "soften this language," he could embed prompts directly into the live transcript, creating a ready-made to-do list that saved him hours of searching later.His personal use cases were just as inspiring, demonstrating the sheer versatility of these tools. He turns traffic jams into productive language lessons, practicing his Portuguese with AI coaching him on pronunciation. When he was unwell with pneumonia, he logged all his symptoms and meals, then had the AI generate a concise, one-page brief for the ER doctor, leading to clearer communication and better care.In a Sea of Sameness, Why the Human Element is Your Most Valuable AssetWe also waded into the deeper, more philosophical waters of our AI-driven world. I had made the point that these tools are fed by human knowledge, but Mike offered a gentle and important course correction. He reminded me of the colossal volumes of non-human data being generated daily, from weather patterns to train schedules, meaning the purely human voice is becoming a smaller part of the whole.This led him to a profound conclusion: as our digital lives become noisier and more automated, the authentic human element will become our most cherished and valuable asset. He believes it is our shared responsibility to consciously "put people first" in how we design and use these systems. That mindful distinction, he argues, will set a pattern for others to follow.Your Ultimate Differentiator: Using AI to Simply Become More YouWhen I asked Mike how people can differentiate themselves in an age where everyone has access to AI, his answer was refreshingly simple. It is not about mastering a new technical skill; it is about knowing yourself better and being "more you." The more authentic you can be in your voice, your intent, and your thinking, the more you will naturally stand out.He offered a wonderful reframe, suggesting we use AI not just for output, but for introspection. You can turn it into a personal coach. By telling it what you are working on, whether it is improving your turn-taking in conversations or being a more empathetic leader, you can ask it for feedback on your own progress. It becomes an accountability partner, using your own metrics to help you grow.Your Action Plan: Prompting Your Own Personal EvolutionThis brings us to the core of our conversation. AI can be more than a research assistant or a content creator; it can be a co-thinker, a coach, and a catalyst for our own development. It is a tool that can help us become better, more mindful versions of ourselves.Mike left us with a clear and inspiring call to action. Take a moment to think about your own journey of growth. What are you trying to learn? What path are you on to evolve and become a better you? Once you have that clarity, open your favorite AI tool and start a conversation about it. Ask it to create reminders and help you check in on your progress, and you will be surprised at how it can accelerate your journey.In Summary: My conversation with Mike Wittenstein was a masterclass in how to approach AI with curiosity, intention, and a deep-seated commitment to human connection. His message is that the true power of this technology lies not in its ability to replace us, but in its potential to amplify our best human qualities: our creativity, our strategic thinking, and our capacity for growth.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Mike's answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.* Most innovative use of AI to enhance human relationships – Using the role-playing tool Yoodli to enhance confidence and build crucial communication skills in a safe, risk-free environment.* Best thing to integrate AI and human connection – Creating a personal brand voice template that ensures your authentic personality and humor shines through in all AI-assisted writing.* Differentiate by leveraging AI – Focus on becoming more authentically yourself and use AI as a personal coach to guide and track that journey of growth.ActionTake a moment to think about the path you are on to become a better, more evolved version of yourself. Write down what you are learning, and then ask your favorite AI tool to create prompts and reminders that will help you mindfully check your progress over time.Reach OutYou can reach out and thank Mike on LinkedIn under his name, Mike Wittenstein, or find him online through his company website.Links* Website – Storyminers* LinkedIn* Twitter – @mikewittenstein* Facebook* Youtube Channel – StoryminersCool Things About Mike* He uses the folksy and memorable adage, "You can't teach a pig to sing... it doesn't work and pisses off the pig."

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Freedom wasn't granted—it was seized through blood, sweat, and unwavering resistance. Across the Dutch and Danish Caribbean colonies, enslaved Africans fought against brutal systems of oppression that are often overshadowed in mainstream historical narratives focused on British, Spanish, and French colonial powers.When thousands gathered in St. Croix on July 2nd, 1848, led by freedom fighter General Buddhoe (Moses Gottlieb), they weren't asking politely for their liberation. They threatened to burn Frederiksted to the ground, forcing the Danish governor to declare immediate emancipation. This powerful act of collective resistance is why July 3rd remains sacred in the U.S. Virgin Islands, commemorated through Freedom Week celebrations that honor ancestral sacrifice and triumph.Meanwhile, in the Dutch Caribbean territories like Suriname, Curaçao, and Aruba, emancipation arrived decades later in 1863—and even then with the cruel stipulation that the formerly enslaved would be required to work an additional decade on the plantations where they had suffered. This delayed freedom, finally realized in 1873, is now celebrated as "Keti Koti" (the chain is broken), a powerful testament to resilience against Dutch colonial brutality. The colonial footprints of the Netherlands and Denmark—alongside brief periods of Swedish and Portuguese occupation—remain etched in Caribbean legal systems, languages, demographics, and collective consciousness. By amplifying these overlooked histories, we honor the full spectrum of Caribbean resistance and recognize that every Emancipation Day represents a hard-won victory by those who refused to accept bondage as their fate. Our ancestors' struggle for dignity continues to illuminate our path forward.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Se Deus é por nós, quem será contra nós? Em Romanos 8:31–33, o apóstolo Paulo responde às perguntas mais profundas da alma humana — aquelas que surgem quando enfrentamos dúvidas, sofrimento e insegurança. Neste episódio, você vai descobrir que a sua salvação está segura porque é Deus quem salva, quem chama, quem justifica e quem glorifica. Ninguém pode destruir o que Deus começou. Nenhuma acusação pode anular a justificação que Ele decretou. E nem mesmo o próprio crente pode quebrar a corrente da salvação. Quando você entende o que está incluído no “bilhete” da sua salvação — a graça, a adoção, a redenção e a certeza da glória — você vive com confiança, alegria e segurança. A mensagem de Paulo não é um debate teológico, mas um hino de triunfo para cada filho de Deus. Para mais ensinamentos bíblicos, visite nosso site: https://www.wisdomonline.org/?lang=Portuguese

In this episode of Just Schools, Jon Eckert talks with Alysia-Lara about how loss and healing led her to a life of listening, leading, and lifting up student voices. She shares how education became a path to purpose. A powerful student question, “What language do you dream in?”—guides this conversation about identity and belonging.  The Just Schools Podcast is brought to you by the Baylor Center for School Leadership. Be encouraged. Connect with us: Center for School Leadership at Baylor University Jon Eckert LinkedIn Baylor MA in School Leadership   Jon Eckert: Alysia, welcome to the Just Schools podcast. I want to jump right in with a question for you that I think is an interesting one for all educators, but I think particularly for you. But many of us in education have known we wanted to be in education since we were kids. What drew you specifically into education? Alysia-Lara: So my story is quite layered. But I'd start by saying, so as a child, my identical sister and I, we just loved playing schools. We both knew we wanted to be teachers. We would ask our dad to take on different roles as different students and we loved that. But she tragically passed away when we were six years old and something inside me just shattered and the loss was indescribable for me. And so, due to the trauma, I stopped speaking for about four years plus after that. And when I reflect on that, I think my silence became a form of survival. I was just trying to survive at that point. And I think, subconsciously, I rejected that dream that we shared for being teachers because it was just too painful. So when it came time to choose a career, I went for medicine. I was one of those irritating A-star students so my dad encouraged me on that path. He knew how much I love children and thought I could lead in medical school in that capacity. However, I only lasted three months. The reality hit so quickly that I wasn't made for hospitals, blood, or sick people. So it wasn't the best space. But I had a conversation with my parents about that and I remember telling them I still wanted to work with children. So my mum arranged me to go back to my old primary school. And honestly, that was it. I felt God's call clearly for the first time in so many years. It was a really reminder for me of what He had placed in my heart from such a young age and education actually became part of my healing. But also, a way to honor my sister's memory. Jon Eckert: That's such an amazing story. And the first time I heard that, it was so moving for what you had been through, the tragic loss and the trauma that you experienced that you don't wish on any kid. And yet, this path that you found to education, which led you to the work that you do today, which I'd love for you to talk a little bit about what motivates your work that you do today specifically in education. Alysia-Lara: So today, I think what really motivates me is that radical potential of encounter. And by that, I mean by even the simple act of listening deeply to a student's story or a parent's fears or a colleague's hopes, that helps me to create spaces for transformation. And I think within education and within my role that I have, I'm able to do that and I'm really energized by what becomes possible when we bring children and young people into dialogue. And that's across different cultures and backgrounds and, also, involving other generations as well. So for me, in my role now, education is really a space where meaning and purpose is searched for. It's not imposed upon students. I remember loving my school. But I also remember not seeing people who looked like me in the stories or in the curriculum that I was taught and that really had a deep sense of impact on my identity. I didn't feel like I truly belonged even though I enjoyed my school. So it was more about me assimilating rather than feeling included and I just wanted to really change that for other students. I remember what it's like not to have a voice but have words that I wanted to say and I want to make sure that I create spaces where I can lift up the voices of others. Particularly if they're from marginalized backgrounds. And I was reflecting recently that, for me, education is a Christian mission of hospitality. It's creating those spaces, honoring the stories, welcoming those on the margins. So it's really deeply relational and sacred work, that's how I view what I do. And so, we're offering welcome to others, creating opportunities. But also, having the humility to be changed positively by those who we welcome and that's very much about what I do today. Jon Eckert: Well, I love the generous hospitality you described because I really think as Christians, we should be the most hospitable people in the world as we welcome people in. And through the work that you're doing in the United Kingdom with schools giving students a voice, I think it's especially powerful because you, for over four years, did not have a voice. And so, I think it's helped you listen in different ways that a lot of us have missed because people like me are too busy talking instead of listening. And so, this next question really builds off that. What do you think students most need from educators as you listen to educators, students especially, and then speak to educators all over the world, in fact? But what do you think they most need from us? Alysia-Lara: Sure. I think it's a really great question. I mean, I'm very blessed to be able to speak to children from three-year-olds to 18-year-olds within my work. And what is so clear is that they just need us to be present. And that's not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually for them as well. And to kind of create spaces where these spaces say that you matter, you belong. You're not here to be fixed but you are here to be known, to know who they are. And this can be obviously across curriculum but it also can be beyond that. And just enabling children to be able to ask big questions, to tell their truths and kind of wrestle with the complexity that we have today. I also think that what the students really need is not to be reduced to outcomes. So they're more than their achievements, it's that whole child that's in front of us and knowing that there is such a delight in the mystery of learning and becoming within education. So that's I think what I'd say for that question. Actually, there's one more thing, and this came from a child that I'm thinking of, to really cherish the uniqueness of each and every student and that came from a 12-year-old which I thought was really beautiful. Jon Eckert: That is beautiful. And you're remarkable at listening to kids and hearing that kind of common grace that comes through that, because that's how God sees us. And as His followers, that's how we should be seeing others because we're... Each is very different than some or all. It's that individual that we are created in His image and how do we see that and hear that and make sure they know that. And so, you had a conversation with a student that I love that you had shared with me at the conference where we met for the first time. You speak several languages and you had a student ask you a really good question about how you dream when you speak different languages. What language do you dream in? And so, could you share that interaction and what you told him? Alysia-Lara: Of course. I mean, I think the best questions come from children just before they're about to go to break time or what you would call reset. And then, they ask the question and they run outside. They're like, "What do I do with this?" Although this is about 15 years ago now, this question stays with me. And the young student who was aged seven asked, "Ms. Sirinda, if you speak two languages the same or equally, what language do you dream in?" That was such an incredible question because when I had time to think about it, I realized it wasn't just about language. This was about belonging. This was about identity, memory, home. And it reminded me that we're all layered in that our dreams, like our hopes, are often held in the languages and experiences that have shaped us. So for me, that question really opened up a space of dialogue about culture. And actually, this young child, at seven years old, offered me hospitality in the form of a question and I've never forgotten that. So at the time, I did tell him that I needed just a minute to think about that. But I said that it depends on who was in the dream. For example, if it was my grandma, it would be in Portuguese because that's the language she spoke to me in. But maybe English with other people. But I think that question will always stay with me. Jon Eckert: Mm-hmm. And such a beautiful answer because in that, following up on the last question, what do students most need from us? They need hope. They need a sense of agency. They need a sense that they can become more of who they were created to be. And so, just the way you talked about dreaming, that's what we want for each kid, that they dream that they can become more of who they were created to be. But this next question is, you've worked in many countries, what do you think every parent and educator should know about students? So we asked you earlier, "What do they need?" But what do you think we should know? You have an audience of mostly adults listening to this, so what should we know about students from your perspective? Alysia-Lara: Yeah. I would say I'm... Whether it's England or West Africa or South America where I've been in senior leadership in education, what is really important is just to really know about their uniqueness, like I sort of alluded to. That every child carries a stories, they carry ancestry, some carry unspoken pain, but all have amazing potential. And these are shaped by lots of different things such as their faith, their community, the cultures they come from, what they really yearn to learn, and what they're searching for with regards to meaning. But I think what is coming out most recently within my work is needing to acknowledge that the shift in how students are engaging today. So we know that social media and AI and are now deeply woven into how students see themselves and how they relate to others. Now, these spaces, they can sometimes offer connection and creativity and things like knowledge. But they also bring that pressure, that distortion, and sometimes can be harmful. So I think the educators and parents, it's really important to know that we can walk alongside them. They need us to walk alongside them in their journey. And we're in that space, not in a controlling way, but just to be there for them. And just reminded that for students, they're not determined by algorithms or likes that social media is kind of dictating, but who they are in Christ and help them to grow into that fullness of who they were created to be. Jon Eckert: Yeah. That's beautiful. And I think your point earlier about being present, that they need us to be present. We need to make sure that our devices, life around us is not distracting us from that embodied soul. That's the only immortal thing we're going to come across in a day. It's that individual. It's that relationship. And that's a really good reminder. And I feel like you have such a unique take on this because of your love for education with your twin sister and then the loss of your sister at six and then that long space of silence where you're surviving. I feel like there is something that came out of that trauma that is this beautiful understanding of that and I think you see and hear people differently because of that. And so, when you think about that experience. And then, when you think about the best and worst advice you've ever given or received, how would you... I'm really curious to hear what you would say about this because I feel like you should have some really interesting insights into advice that was given to you as you went through... You've gone through really hard things or advice that you've given that's been helpful or advice that you've received that hasn't been helpful or what you've received that's been life-giving to you. So can you share either one? You can go whatever order you want. Most life-giving, most helpful advice, or least helpful advice. Take it away. Alysia-Lara: I'll start with the worst one and then I'll go to the best one. I think the worst advice I have ever been given was just to do my best to fit in. That made me shrink even smaller. It made me hide who I truly was. Real freedom came when I embraced my story and realized that belonging doesn't mean I have to blend in. Okay. I wasn't speaking, I wasn't articulating as other people were, but take a moment to look at my writing or the way I played my musical instruments. It's a whole different thing. So I think that's probably the worst advice I was given. And the best advice, I think, I was given... I'm going to kind of turn this on its head a little bit, if that's okay. I'm going to say as the best question I've been asked is, "What makes my heart sing?" And that's what my grandma used to ask me every day, particularly after my sister passed, waiting for a day where I actually verbally respond to that. And I wouldn't always, I might hug her so... But I still today take time to think, "What makes my heart sing? What has given me joy today? What has given me life today?" And yeah, so within that, I think I've kind of turned that a little bit on its head, but just knowing that there's still joy no matter what we're going through. Jon Eckert: Yeah. I love that. I have a friend who talks about, "What stirs your affections every day? And I love that, that, "What makes your heart sing?" And that's what we want our kids to be able to articulate and identify. And so, we can't give what we don't have. And so, it's really good to be aware of that. So given that, the best and worst advice, which... Very good. And I like advice in the form of a question. I think anything that can make us think is helpful. But what do you think the biggest challenge facing students today is? Alysia-Lara: I think one of the biggest challenges that children trying to navigate are really complex, noisy, divided world where there's lots of political debates. There's turbulence for them as well with regards to, like I said, social media, AI, and how they see themselves which is causing lots of confusion to conform. External influence is saying who they should be. But actually, it's not about that. It's who they are in Christ. So they're often found that they're competing with different external voices and that's really hard for them. So it's about them knowing who they are in Christ. I think that's one of the biggest challenges. But also, having an unpredictable future. I think that's quite hard for them to navigate. But then, often, when I speak to children, it's still hearing those young voices who still lean into hope, even though they know there are certain challenges. But they know that actually they can make a difference, even in the spaces that they're in. Jon Eckert: No, that's good which leads nicely into the last question. What makes you most hopeful about our students? Alysia-Lara: I think their openness. Their openness and resilience is just so inspiring. Their willingness to question, to listen, and to connect across differences is so powerful. I think there's a lot that adults can learn from our students and they are really eager to build this sort of just and compassionate world. They show kindness and creativity and they truly inspire all aspects of my work. Jon Eckert: Yeah. Well, it's a great place to wrap up but so grateful for the work that you do and the story that you have to share. But more importantly, the stories you elicit from kids. Because I think that's one of the things, great leaders can tell a good story. But the best leaders elicit those stories from others and then make that part of the culture of the organizations they lead, so really grateful for that. So thank you for your time and for joining us today. Alysia-Lara: Thank you so much.

A salvação não é um acaso — é uma obra intencional e soberana de Deus. Em Romanos 8:29–30, o apóstolo Paulo revela uma corrente de cinco elos que não podem ser quebrados: Deus conheceu, predestinou, chamou, justificou e glorificouos que são Seus. Este episódio mergulha nesse texto profundamente teológico e muitas vezes controverso, explorando o que realmente significa a eleição, a predestinação e o chamado eficaz de Deus. Longe de ser motivo de divisão, essas verdades nos dão segurança, humildade e gratidão. Se você já creu em Cristo, é porque Deus já estava agindo em sua vida. Esta é uma mensagem que exalta a graça de Deus do começo ao fim — e nos lembra que a nossa salvação é tão certa quanto a fidelidade dEle. Nada pode separar você do plano eterno de Deus.

In this episode, Hilliard and guest co-host, writer/producer Dwain Worrell sit down for a super fun conversation with Co-Executive Producer CHRIS RAFFERTY (THE FLASH, COBRA KAI & LUCIFER)!Chris has been a lifelong artist in many different fields. He grew up an illustrator with dreams of drawing comic books. Made short films while earning a film degree at UC Santa Barbara. Spent time on stage acting and in front of cameras doing improv. All while earning a living in a decade-plus career as a graphic designer.But a crossroads in life inspired him to drop everything to go all-in on his greatest passion (and what he'd been spending years of early mornings & weekends on) — his writing.

Romanos 8:28 é uma das promessas mais citadas da Bíblia — mas também uma das mais mal compreendidas. Este versículo não é uma explicação detalhada sobre o sofrimento. Não é uma garantia de uma vida confortável. Não significa que tudo vai “dar certo” no curto prazo. Mas o que ele significa, então? Neste episódio, vamos subir a uma perspectiva mais elevada — uma visão celestial da soberania de Deus. Descobriremos que todas as coisas realmente cooperam para o bem, mas somente para aqueles que amam a Deus e foram chamados segundo o Seu propósito. Romanos 8:28 é um lembrete poderoso de que, mesmo quando não entendemos o que Deus está fazendo, podemos confiar que Ele está sempre agindo — com propósito, com graça e com glória futura em mente. Mesmo quando tudo parece incerto, uma coisa é certa: Deus é soberano, e Seus filhos estão seguros em Suas mãos.

In the sprawling city of São Paulo, a weekly practice known as devotion to souls (devoção às almas) draws devotees to Catholic churches, cemeteries, and other sites associated with tragic or unjust deaths. The living pray and light candles for the souls of the dead, remembering events and circumstances in a rite of collective suffering. Yet contemporary devotion to souls is not confined to Catholic adherents or fixed to specific locations. The practice is also linked to popular tours of haunted sites in the city, and it moves within an urban environment routinely marked by violence and death. While based in Catholic traditions, devotion to souls is as complex and multifaceted as religion itself in Brazil, where African, Portuguese, and other cultural forms have blended and evolved over centuries. Michael Amoruso's insightful work, Moved By The Dead: Haunting and Devotion in São Paulo, Brazil (University of North Carolina Press, 2025) uses the methods of ethnography, religious studies, and urban studies to consider how devotion to souls embodies, adapts, and challenges conventional ideas of religion as tethered to specific sites and practices. Examining devotees' varied ways of ascribing meaning to their actions, Amoruso argues that devotion to souls acts as a form of what he calls "mnemonic repair," tying the living to the dead in a struggle against the forces of forgetting. Michael Amoruso is assistant professor of religious studies at Occidental College. Reighan Gillam is Associate Professor in the Department of Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies at Dartmouth College. Her research examines the ways in which Afro-Brazilian media producers foment anti-racist visual politics through their image creation. She is the author of Visualizing Black Lives: Ownership and Control in Afro-Brazilian Media (University of Illinois Press). Learn more about your ad choices.

Long before the Philippines was known by its modern name, it was home to a powerful and wealthy civilization—the Lequios. Described by Portuguese explorers like Antonio Galvão and marked on 16th-century maps like the Dourado Map, the Lequios were skilled shipbuilders, traders in gold, and a dominant presence in Southeast Asia.So why were they erased from mainstream history?In this video, we dive into forgotten archives and ancient maps to explore how the Lequios were not Japanese as some believe—but pre-colonial Filipinos. Evidence places them in Luzon, trading up and down the coasts, with links to major volcanic events like the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.From the capital of a majestic city to gold-rich trade routes in Pangasinan and La Union—this is a legacy worth reclaiming.✨ Discover the truth that colonial propaganda tried to erase.

Romanos 8:28 é um dos versos mais conhecidos — e mais mal interpretados — da Bíblia. Muitos o citam como uma promessa de que tudo sempre vai acabar bem. Mas será que é isso mesmo que o texto ensina? Neste episódio, vamos explorar o que Romanos 8:28 não significa. Ele não é uma explicação detalhada para o sofrimento, nem uma garantia de que a vida do crente será confortável. Não proíbe a tristeza e também não é uma desculpa para a passividade. Este versículo não promete respostas, mas revela algo muito maior: a soberania de Deus. Quando tudo parece fora de controle, você pode ter certeza de uma coisa — Deus está agindo, e você está seguro em Seus propósitos eternos. Descubra como essa verdade oferece ânimo e estabilidade mesmo nas tempestades da vida. Para mais ensinamentos bíblicos, visite nosso site: https://www.wisdomonline.org/?lang=Portuguese

Ben Haines and Ian Dennis remember Liverpool forward Diogo Jota who has died alongside his brother Andre Silva, in a car crash in Spain. Jota had recently undergone surgery and was driving from Porto to Santander to catch a ferry to England for pre-season training. John Gibbons from the Anfield Wrap shares his memories and what Jota meant to the football club. Jota is also remembered by Wolves fan Fin Morris where the Portuguese international played over 100 times and how the club helped shaped his career. Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock spoke to Steve Crossman about how this loss will be felt across the football community and what he was like off the pitch. Spanish football expert Guillem Balague talks to Ben and Ian about the shock in Spain where the crash happened and how he is talked about as a player and made things happen.

Devastating news in the world of football this morning. Diogo Jota has passed away. The Liverpool and Portuguese national team forward died in a car accident in Spain that killed him and his younger brother André Silva. Jota's tragic passing came just a month after he played for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League Final and won the title and just two weeks after he married his long time partner.
