What can you do when obedience to God feels like a death sentence? In Esther 4, fear, faith, and divine providence collide and silence is no longer an option.In this episode we'll walk through Esther chapter 4 uncovering how God's unseen hand positions His people long before the crisis arrives. We'll see the tension between God's call and our willingness to answer, the power of fasting and prayer, and the famous turning point: “for such a time as this.”Inside this episode of our Esther Bible Study:Mordecai's public mourning becomes a courageous act of faith and leadership.Esther's fear is real, but faithful action doesn't require the absence of fear.An eye-opening biblical link between Proverbs, Esther, Joel, Matthew, and God's eternal pattern of deliverance.Esther 4 invites us to see our lives through the lens of divine providence, courage, and calling. These themes aren't ancient. They speak directly to moments we're all facing right now.Positioned on purpose. Your circumstances may feel accidental or even the result of your own effort, but Scripture reminds us that God places His people strategically. Like Esther, your influence exists for more than comfort. It exists for obedience.Faith that acts despite fear. Biblical faith doesn't deny risk. It moves forward anyway. Esther shows us that trusting God often means stepping into uncertainty with courage.When God calls, silence isn't neutral. Mordecai's challenge to Esther reveals that silence can cost more than obedience. God's purposes will stand, but how we respond shapes our story.This episode highlights God's providence and reminds us that the same God is still at work today.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Show #696 Show #696 weaves together contemporary Hawaiian mele, masterful slack key guitar, a reverent royal prayer, and a playful detour into retro exotica—then returns home with modern harmonies and a closing affirmation of identity. Detailed Playlist “Kaulana ʻo Maui” — Kamalei Kawaa (1:20) Album: Mānaiakalani A short, vivid mele that celebrates the renown of Maui. Kamalei Kawaa opens the episode with a strong sense of place and cultural grounding, offering an inviting entry point into the show's island-centered storytelling. Despite its brief runtime, the track sets an intentional tone: rooted, respectful, and warmly personal. “Hawaiian Rainbow” — Kahiau Lam Ho (2:50) Album: Hoʻomālamalama Bright and uplifting, this track carries a message of hope and renewal. Kahiau Lam Ho's contemporary approach pairs accessible melody with a distinctly Hawaiian sensibility, making it a feel-good moment that still honors cultural continuity. The song's optimism complements the episode's opening theme of place and belonging. “Kona Moon” — Kahiau Lam Ho (2:37) Album: Hoʻomālamalama A mellow, romantic island-night reflection inspired by the Kona coast. The pacing and phrasing invite listeners into a quieter emotional space—warm, intimate, and unhurried. Placed after “Hawaiian Rainbow,” it shifts the mood from celebratory brightness to a more contemplative evening glow. “East Side Slack Key” — Kawika Kahiapo (4:01) Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo A standout instrumental showcasing the depth of kī hō‘alu (slack key guitar). Kawika Kahiapo's touch is both precise and expressive, balancing rhythmic drive with open, resonant harmony. This track provides a spacious listening moment—ideal for appreciating the nuance and tradition embedded in Hawaiian guitar craft. “Nani Wale Kualoa” — Kawika Kahiapo (3:53) Album: Kuʻu Manaʻo A musical love letter to Kualoa—its beauty, presence, and sense of mana. The melody and phrasing feel place-centered and reverent, continuing the episode's theme of honoring specific landscapes through sound. The pairing with “East Side Slack Key” creates a strong mid-show slack key feature block. “Queen's Prayer” — Jerome Koko, Daniel Ho & Tia Carrere (3:28) Album: Makaha Sons Memoirs A deeply reverent rendition of Queen Liliʻuokalani's prayer, offered with restraint and respect. The arrangement emphasizes reflection and spiritual gravity rather than ornamentation, allowing the message and history to remain central. This performance serves as a meaningful cultural anchor in the episode—devotional, dignified, and moving. “Ned's Redemption” — The Waitiki 7 (1:17) Album: Adventures In Paradise A brief, cinematic exotica vignette—playful and atmosphere-driven. Positioned after “Queen's Prayer,” it functions as a palate cleanser: a quick tonal pivot that keeps the episode dynamic while still staying within an island-adjacent musical universe. “Sacha-Cha” — The Waitiki 7 (2:35) Album: Adventures In Paradise Upbeat and retro, this track leans into classic lounge/exotica energy with rhythmic flair. It's a lighthearted interlude that adds variety and fun—an intentional shift that refreshes the ear before the program returns to contemporary Hawaiian songwriting and harmony. “Home” — Waipuna (4:22) Album: Manaʻo Pili A heartfelt modern Hawaiian composition centered on belonging and emotional roots. Waipuna's polished harmonies and contemporary production create a sense of welcome and familiarity—bringing the episode back from the playful exotica detour into a grounded, lyric-forward Hawaiian space. “E Ku Kanaka” — Hoʻokena (4:57) Album: Hoʻokena 5 A powerful closing statement affirming identity, pride, and perseverance. Hoʻokena's folk-rooted approach and steady drive make this a resonant finale—leaving listeners with a strong sense of purpose and cultural continuity. A fitting conclusion to an episode built around place, heritage, and the living voice of Hawaiian music today. Episode Summary Show #696 moves from place-based mele and contemporary Hawaiian songwriting into a featured slack key set, pauses for a reverent royal prayer, and then takes a playful side-trip through exotica—before returning “Home” and closing with a bold affirmation in “E Ku Kanaka.” A complete listen that reflects both the roots and the range of Hawaiian and island-influenced music.

In this explosive episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco is joined by returning guest Sheila Holm for a hard-hitting breakdown of the forces reshaping America — and the world — right now. The conversation confronts the escalating unrest in Minneapolis, the intensifying role of ICE operations, and why these domestic flashpoints cannot be separated from what's unfolding globally in Iran, Venezuela, and beyond. Michael and Sheila expose how coordinated pressure, policy manipulation, and institutional failures are converging at the local, national, and international levels. Sheila offers direct insight into government corruption, the weaponization of social systems, and policies that are eroding family structure, public safety, and national sovereignty. Together, they examine how chaos is manufactured, why law enforcement and military personnel are increasingly placed in impossible positions, and what it means when those tasked with protecting the public are constrained by political agendas. This episode doesn't sugarcoat reality. It lays out the stakes — clearly and urgently — and challenges listeners to understand the interconnected nature of today's crises. From city streets to global theaters, the message is unmistakable: what's happening now will define what comes next. If you're trying to make sense of the current socio-political climate, the rising instability, and the deeper battles playing out beneath the headlines, this conversation demands your attention.

Nareit's Senior Vice President for Research Ed Pierzak and Nareit Vice President for Index Management and Industry Information John Barwick joined the REIT Report to highlight key themes and trends in Nareit's 2026  REIT Outlook.Pierzak discussed the dual divergences at play between REITs and broader equities and REITs and private real estate. Each provides an opportunity for REITs to outperform, he said. At the same time, REIT balance sheets point to access to capital, putting the sector in a “great position to really embark on a growth opportunity in 2026,” alongside signs of a thawing in the transaction market, Pierzak said.Meanwhile, Barwick discussed global REIT performance, noting that currency movements were a significant tailwind for U.S.-based investors in 2025 as a weaker dollar bolstered the performance of international assets. For U.S. investors, strong local returns in developed Asia and developed Europe were further boosted when translated back into dollars, which widened the performance gap with North America, Barwick noted.Read the 2026 REIT outlook: https://www.reit.com/news/blog/market-commentary/2026-reit-outlook-trends-and-strategies

Turnstile is reimagining quote-to-cash for the modern B2B world, where negotiated agreements create operational chaos that standard pricing never does. After selling Second Measure to Bloomberg, co-founders Michael Babineau and Lillian Chou experienced the irony firsthand: running a data analytics company while managing their own revenue operations through spreadsheets and manual processes. That incongruence became the catalyst for Turnstile, a self-serve revenue platform designed to support sales-led B2B companies from their first negotiated deal through tens of millions in ARR. In this conversation, Michael shares how they're solving the structured data problem that plagues B2B revenue operations, why eliminating custom development forced genuine platform flexibility, and how they're collapsing a traditionally 3-6 month implementation into a self-serve onboarding that takes minutes. Topics Discussed: Why negotiated B2B agreements create the structured data problem that breaks revenue operations Turnstile's compound startup approach spanning quote-to-cash to revenue recognition The internal ban on custom development that forced true configurability into the platform How supporting non-standard contracts from day one enables earlier market entry than traditional CPQ Revenue leakage and "truth drift" between contract terms and actual customer relationships The rippling-style GTM strategy: start with startups, grow into enterprise with your customers Positioning challenges when your category exists but your ICP doesn't know it yet Building for human operators and AI agents simultaneously on the same platform primitives Agentic dunning and the roadmap toward AI-automated revenue operations // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Tap here to send us a message!Nothing in life happens by chance or by accident, but just as Esther was chosen to be queen for such a time as this, so it is with us. God could have chosen for us to be born in any time period, yet He placed us in the last days by divine purpose. His gifts and callings upon each of our lives are intentional, and He has positioned us exactly where we are on purpose.01/04/2025 - Sunday Afternoon Scriptures:Esther 4:11-16I Chronicles 12:32Hebrews 12:11Jeremiah 5:1Acts 13:36Esther 4:11Esther 4:14Acts 17:26Psalm 68:6

As we start the new year, Alan speaks into a defining moment of realignment and preparation — a season where God is not calling us to strive harder, but to be repositioned under what He is already pouring out.  Drawing from Obadiah 1:19 and the Psalms, this message reframes inheritance not as something we chase, but something we are positioned to receive. This teaching explores how every promise from God carries a repositioning — shifting us from survival into stewardship, from comparison into calling, and from old boundaries into new territories of responsibility and influence. As God redraws the map of our inheritance, we are invited into unique training, divine reassignment, and a deeper realm of governance where preparation precedes possession. This is for those who are sensing a new assignment, a new season, or a holy disruption. Alan reminds us that before we inherit what God has promised, He lovingly prepares us to carry it — dismantling what no longer serves us and entrusting us with what will shape the lives of others. 

John Freeman expects the AI race to continue full speed in 2026. He points to ChatGPT as a sign of what's to come. As far as companies he believes to invest in now, John says Microsoft (MSFT) is better positioned compared to Alphabet (GOOGL). Similarly, Cory Johnson argues Google "cannibalizes AI" as the mega cap risks future profits on its search revenue. However, he makes a case for stocks tied to the data center buildout.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this special bonus episode closing out Season 11 of The Remarkable Retail Podcast and the year 2025, hosts Steve Dennis & Michael LeBlanc complete the second half of their annual predictions review—one of the most popular and anticipated episodes of the year. The episode opens with brief but timely discussion on two high-profile retail-adjacent experiences. First us Dennis shares insights from Amazon's first-ever grocery analyst day in Seattle, offering a clearer picture of the company's “one grocery” vision and it's already substantial online presence, now being accelerated as they invest in same day deliver of perishable items.The conversation then turns to Netflix House, following Dennis's visit to the newly opened Dallas location, the second of three that are planned. Positioned in a former department store anchor, Netflix House blends immersive experiences, branded merchandise, gaming, and a restaurant. While customer traffic was encouraging, Dennis offered a frank critique of execution, citing confusing layouts, weak wayfinding, and inconsistent merchandising. The takeaway is cautiously optimistic: the concept has potential, but it is not yet operating at the level that would warrant significant expansion.The core of the episode is Part 2 of Dennis' annual predictions reckoning. Dennis revisits his forecast that department stores would continue “running to stand still,” awarding himself an A-minus as most banners remain stuck in negative or flat comps with limited progress on profitability. His prediction of significant change at Target earns a B-plus, correctly anticipating leadership transitions and the end of the Ulta partnership, though anticipated store closures did not materialize.Dennis also scores highly on his prediction that store closures would once again exceed store openings in the U.S., driven by bankruptcies and retrenchment across drugstores, mid-market apparel, and specialty retail. Predictions around Amazon's physical grocery strategy are largely validated, while expectations for a surge in retail dealmaking and IPO activity fall short, earning a candid C-minus.The episode closes with a nuanced reassessment of the so-called “Ozempic recession.” While the term itself overstated the impact, Dennis and LeBlanc agree that GLP-1 drugs are reshaping consumption patterns—particularly in food, alcohol, and apparel—with long-term implications retailers can no longer ignore.  SPECIAL OFFER for our listeners!

Originally uploaded October 9th, reloaded October 23rd. Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, 10 a.m., MBN was on the road to 1004 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing (at the old Rite Aid at corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania) as UM Health-Sparrow opens new pharmacy to address need in downtown Lansing. This video shares highlights of the remarks shared by dignitaries that day before the ribbon cutting ceremony. Downtown Lansing has been a pharmacy desert since the closing of a Rite Aid. Now, UM Health-Sparrow is addressing that issue by announcing the opening of a pharmacy/Urgent Care/Occupational Health Services in the renovated and rejuvenated old Rite Aid. It's part of our commitment to the community to provide access to care and protect everyone's health. We'll mark the occasion with a big celebration featuring UM Health-Sparrow leaders, Mayor Andy Schor and others. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ After more than a year without a neighborhood pharmacy, downtown Lansing has a new healthcare hub thanks to University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. The organization has transformed the former Rite Aid at Michigan and Pennsylvania avenues into a state-of-the-art facility offering pharmacy, urgent care, and occupational health services. The project involved a full interior demolition and rebuild, turning what was once a single-use pharmacy into a one-stop shop for diagnostics, prescriptions, and walk-in care. UM Health-Sparrow Regional President Margaret Dimond said the location was too vital to leave vacant, as the previous Rite Aid had filled nearly 100,000 prescriptions annually. Positioned across from the hospital with its own parking lot and a CATA bus stop, the new clinic provides convenience and accessibility for patients. The pharmacy also includes a drive-thru and extended evening hours, which local pharmacists say are crucial for patients seeking medications after typical business hours. Pharmacy Director Todd Belding explained that high demand for prescriptions in Sparrow's professional building helped spark the idea for the new site. He emphasized that the space not only expands pharmacy access but also integrates essential services like X-rays and diagnostic testing—all under one roof. The clinic officially opened October 6, with a ribbon-cutting two days later that filled the parking lot before the doors even opened. The pharmacy launch is part of UM Health-Sparrow's larger plan to expand healthcare access across Lansing. The system is investing roughly $150 million in projects near its downtown campus, including a new $100 million psychiatric hospital on the former Lansing Eastern High School site and an outpatient surgery center across from the new pharmacy. Together, these initiatives underscore UM Health-Sparrow's commitment to revitalizing the city's medical landscape and meeting the community's growing healthcare needs.

Originally uploaded October 10th, reloaded October 28th. Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, 10 a.m., MBN was on the road to 1004 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing (at the old Rite Aid at corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania) as UM Health-Sparrow opens new pharmacy to address need in downtown Lansing. This video shares a pair of interviews following the ribbon cutting and remarks shared by dignitaries. Downtown Lansing has been a pharmacy desert since the closing of a Rite Aid. Now, UM Health-Sparrow is addressing that issue by announcing the opening of a pharmacy/Urgent Care/Occupational Health Services in the renovated and rejuvenated old Rite Aid. It's part of our commitment to the community to provide access to care and protect everyone's health. We'll mark the occasion with a big celebration featuring UM Health-Sparrow leaders, Mayor Andy Schor and others. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ After more than a year without a neighborhood pharmacy, downtown Lansing has a new healthcare hub thanks to University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. The organization has transformed the former Rite Aid at Michigan and Pennsylvania avenues into a state-of-the-art facility offering pharmacy, urgent care, and occupational health services. The project involved a full interior demolition and rebuild, turning what was once a single-use pharmacy into a one-stop shop for diagnostics, prescriptions, and walk-in care. UM Health-Sparrow Regional President Margaret Dimond said the location was too vital to leave vacant, as the previous Rite Aid had filled nearly 100,000 prescriptions annually.

At NADA Miami 2025, Bad at Sports' Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller sit down with Hilde Lynn Helphenstein, better known to most of the art world as meme-lord and art-world agent provocateur Jerry Gogosian. In a conversation that swings between dead serious and totally unhinged, Hilde traces the unlikely origin story of Jerry: a near-fatal tick bite in Hudson, NY; weeks in the ICU where she went blind, deaf, and lost the use of her hands and feet; and the eight-month bedridden period that led her to start making art-world memes "six or seven a day" just to stay sane.  She explains how Jerry Gagosian—a name cheekily mashed up from Jerry Saltz and Larry Gagosian—became an anonymous voice for the insiders, registrars, assistants, and "world's oldest interns" of the art world. Positioned "at the cutting edge of stating the obvious," Jerry's memes mined the absurdities of art fairs, galleries, power, and self-seriousness, often circulating so widely that even Arne Glimcher at Pace blasted one to the entire staff. For Hilde, the memes were "fast food," while the deeper writing and podcasting they spawned became the real work. The episode also dives into Hilde's hatred of artspeak, her love of Pixar movies as real art, and the gulf between what artists claim their work does in press releases and what's actually visible in the work. She riffs on turning incomprehensible exhibition texts into literal film scripts, skewers academic pretense, and praises the raw "holy" feeling of walking into a gallery without any language or theory at all.  In the second half of the conversation, Hilde talks about going to business school at NYU Stern after years inside galleries and the market. Learning macro- and microeconomics, statistics, and reading things like Enron's 10-K filings gave her a new lens on the art world as a distorted, unsustainable luxury market in a broader service-and-finance-based U.S. economy. From there, she and the hosts push into the hard questions: oversupply and under-demand for art, MFA pipelines, self-censorship, the moral theater of "perfect" artists, and why she believes most art schools should probably be consolidated or shut down.

Mike and Bobby discussed LSU's decision to hire Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin as the program's next head coach. After listening to Coach Kiffin's introductory press conference, Bobby explained why he's "fired up" about the move. Mike and Bobby interviewed Les Sackett, the Silver Slipper's marketing manager, and Glen West, a senior writer at Geaux247 Sports. The guys broke down the college coaching cycle, featuring Marshall Faulk to Southern, Jon Sumrall to Florida, and Kiffin to LSU. Mike and Bobby recapped the Saints' 21-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins and slammed New Orleans' consistent awful first-half performances.

In today's sermon, we explore what Scripture teaches about living in alignment with God so that His favor flows freely in our lives. Favor is not accidental—it's the result of posture, obedience, and proximity to God's heart.Drawing from Luke 2:51–52, we see Jesus Himself grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. We then journey through Acts 2:46–47, discovering how the early church positioned itself for continuous blessing through unity, devotion, and joyful worship. Proverbs 3:1–6 reminds us that favor comes through trusting the Lord wholeheartedly, while Proverbs 8:17, 34–35 reveals the rewards of diligently seeking Him. Finally, Psalm 5:12 assures us that God surrounds the righteous with favor like a shield.Whether you're believing God for breakthrough, direction, or renewed strength, this sermon will help you posture your life to receive all that God intends for you.

Interview with Nic Earner, Managing Director of Alkane Resources Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/alkane-resources-asxalk-post-merger-gold-producer-targets-180k-aueq-ounces-7916Recording date: 17th November 2025Alkane Resources has successfully completed its transformational merger with Mandalay Resources, establishing itself as a diversified mid-tier gold producer with three operating mines across Australia and Sweden. The integration, finalized in August 2025, has delivered on all key strategic objectives while positioning the company for its next phase of growth in a strengthening gold price environment.The merger has transformed Alkane's market profile substantially. Production guidance now stands at 160,000-175,000 ounces annually, with management targeting a 180,000-ounce run rate by next year. Market capitalization has expanded from approximately A$900 million at the pro-forma merger date to around A$1.4 billion currently. Trading liquidity has improved dramatically, with daily ASX turnover reaching A$8 million and the company securing placement in the ASX 300 index while approaching ASX 200 status.Perhaps most significantly, Alkane maintains a pristine balance sheet with A$170 million in cash and bullion and zero debt beyond equipment financing. This financial strength, combined with the company's largely unhedged production profile, creates substantial cash generation capacity. Managing Director Nic Earner explained the mathematics: with 80% of production unhedged, "each 100 bucks you add to the gold price, it's 15 million bucks" in additional cash flow.Looking ahead, management has established a 12-month timeline for potential acquisitions while maintaining strict jurisdictional discipline, focusing exclusively on tier-one regions including Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, and Scandinavia. Simultaneously, operational priorities center on cost reduction at Sweden's Bjorkdal mine, where initiatives could reduce all-in sustaining costs by 20-25% from US$2,700 to approximately US$2,200 through production increases and grade optimization.The company's disciplined capital allocation framework, operational focus, and accelerating cash generation position Alkane as a compelling investment opportunity in the current gold market environment, with management emphasizing that superior cash accumulation should drive valuation re-rating versus comparable peers.View Alkane Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/alkane-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Space Race and Private Industry Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman discusses how SpaceX's privately funded Starship program is positioned to beat NASA, China, and Russia in establishing a lunar base, operating independently of the struggling Artemis program. China and Blue Origin are deemed significantly behind in their lunar efforts. Zimmerman also covers other segments including A Space Mobile competing with Starlink, semiconductor manufacturing in space, the X59 project becoming obsolete due to private innovation, and accessible Martian ice at a potential Starship landing site. The convergence of private sector capabilities and reduced government constraints suggests a fundamental shift in space exploration dynamics.

3. US Intelligence Successes vs. Policy Failures Leading to the 2022 Invasion. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) details the period leading to the February 2022 invasion, where Russia positioned troops along the border, while the Biden administration publicly ruled out sending US troops or weapons to Ukraine. This policy is identified as a "colossal misjudgment" of Putin. Although US intelligence successfully reported Kremlin war plans almost in real time, hoping to deter Putin, little was done to militarily strengthen Ukraine. The prevailing Western assessment—that Kyiv would fall quickly and Ukraine would be overrun within a week—was based on a massive miscalculation that underestimated the Ukrainian military and people's resolve. Vladimir Putin framed the war using historical claims, stating that Russians and Ukrainians are "one people." This belief, rooted in 19th-century Russian imperial ideas, led to the flawed expectation that 150,000 to 200,000 troops would be sufficient and that Ukrainians would welcome them. Putin's central aim, consistent since the 2014 war, remains stopping Ukraine's Western drift and forcing it into the Russian-controlled Eurasian Union. The countdown to the current war began after President Zelensky, who was an unlikely war leader elected in 2019, refused to implement the Minsk agreements according to Putin's destabilizing agenda during their meeting in Paris in December 2019.
