The Nile monitor, a six-foot-long lizard native to Africa, is gaining ground in parts of the state. Wildlife officials say the species poses a serious threat to native animals, and it can now be killed year-round without a permit. Known for tackling invasive reptiles, trapper Mike Kimmel — also called the Python Cowboy — describes the Nile monitor as “like a python mixed with an iguana.” They're powerful, intelligent predators, similar to a smaller Komodo dragon. On Florida's west coast, especially in Cape Coral, biologists have been battling the species for nearly 20 years. Hundreds have been trapped, but pockets remain. That's concerning because Cape Coral is also home to Florida's largest population of the threatened Burrowing owl, which nests in the ground — making it vulnerable to predators like the Nile monitor. These lizards are carnivores. They eat fish, frogs, birds, eggs, small mammals — even young crocodiles — and have been known to attack chickens and small pets. They can grow up to 6.5 feet long, weigh nearly 20 pounds, run up to 18 miles per hour, and swim underwater for nearly an hour. Their ability to travel along canals and waterways has helped them spread. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is actively removing Nile monitors and urges residents to report any sightings. Wildlife officials warn: this is one invasive species South Florida can't afford to ignore.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” after $1 trillion in SaaS market cap vanished in a single week. While headlines scream that “AI will replace SaaS,” Ross argues the reality is far more nuanced. He introduces a three-part framework ; Exposed, Embedded, Evolved , and outlines the strategic shifts founders and marketers must make to survive and compound in the age of AI agents. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The $1 Trillion Wake-Up Call -SaaS stocks were crushed in early 2026, triggering fear across markets. -AI agents, LLM advancements, and disappointing earnings accelerated the correction. -The dominant narrative says AI will replace SaaS , but the situation is more complex. -Market fear is loud. Structural change is quieter, but very real. 2.AI Agents, Vibe Coding & the Death of Per-Seat Pricing? -AI agents interacting directly with APIs challenge traditional SaaS interfaces. -“Vibe coding” demonstrates how quickly software can now be replicated. -Per-seat pricing models are under pressure as automation scales output. -The interface is shifting from dashboards to conversations. 3.The Data Reality Most People Ignore -Global SaaS spending is projected to grow from $318B (2025) to $500B+ (2028). -Enterprise contracts and deep dependencies don't disappear overnight. -Pricing models may change. Market leaders may change. -Software demand isn't vanishing, it's evolving. 4.The Extinction Stack: Exposed, Embedded, Evolved -SaaS companies fall into three survival tiers. -Not all SaaS companies face equal risk. -Your future depends on depth of integration and data moat. -Operators must identify where they sit, now. 5.Type 1: The Exposed -Horizontal point solutions with weak moats and low switching costs. -Easily replicated with AI tools in days or weeks. -Rely on habit rather than proprietary advantage. -Most vulnerable to margin compression and churn. 6.Type 2: The Embedded -Deeply integrated systems of record inside enterprises. -Painful and complex to replace due to migration risk. -The risk isn't extinction ,it's interface disruption. -Must become AI-first before agents abstract them away. 7. Type 3: The Evolved -AI-native or aggressively AI-integrated platforms. -Built on proprietary data, regulatory moats, and deep user memory. -AI increases the value of their data advantage. -Positioned not just to survive, but accelerate. 8.Distribution Is the New Defensive Moat -AI can replicate features. It cannot replicate trust. -Brand equity, audience relationships, and distribution compound. -As product development gets cheaper, distribution becomes the advantage. -This is the moment to double down on quality and amplification. 9.From Time-Based to Outcome-Based Thinking -Per-seat and time-based pricing models face structural pressure. -The future favors outcome-driven pricing and accountability. -Buyers will demand measurable impact, not access. -Service businesses must shift from hours sold to results delivered. 10. Intentional AI vs Fear-Based AI -Two types of teams are emerging: intentional adopters and reactive adopters. -AI without process creates noise, not leverage. -10,000 mediocre AI assets won't move the needle. -10 strategic, AI-enabled assets can change a business trajectory. —

Join us for Purim: https://curtlandry.com/register Learn more about overcoming the spirit of Haman: https://curtlandry.com/reversal Watch the prayer meeting for Ambassador Mike Huckabee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkl2NYlpouY&t=204s In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by Megann Marcellino to discuss Purim's significance for Believers today and how to battle the spirit of Haman (Amalekite spirit), which manifests through violence and deceptive voices. Purim is not simply an ancient story; it's a spiritual strategy for us in this hour. As we look at Haman's attempt to annihilate the Jewish people through violence and deception, Mordecai's wisdom and integrity, and Esther's courageous obedience to answer her divine call, current events come into clarity. The same spirit at work in ancient Persia is raging now, and the same victory and divine reversal is in store as we choose to arise like Esther, trusting the Holy Spirit within us is greater than he who is in the world.Join Rabbi and Megann as they share symptoms and manifestations of the Amalekite spirit today, a strategy for spiritual warfare, and how to be positioned for divine favor as you speak, decree, and stand for such a time as this.

Minutes Over Names: The Waiver Wire Strategy Winning Fantasy Playoffs In this episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne breaks down the new tanking strategy impacting fantasy basketball — and why name value no longer matters in points leagues. With most fantasy playoffs just three weeks away, teams aren't blatantly shutting players down. Instead, they're limiting starters to 15–20 minutes while quietly giving extended run to developmental pieces. This episode focuses on the teams fully leaning into development — Washington, Indiana, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Utah — and the players whose minutes are trending up (or down). WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• How the NBA's new tanking loophole affects fantasy basketball• Why recognizable starters are becoming liabilities• Which bench players are seeing 28–30+ minutes• How to prioritize opportunity over reputation for playoff positioning Each player discussed is:️ Seeing stable or increasing minutes️ Benefiting from developmental focus️ Positioned for short-term points league value️ Worth adding, streaming, or holding in fantasy basketball Got a fantasy basketball question?

With midterm elections a mere eight months away, are Democrats ready? Maybe not, according to journalist Mark Leibovich who traveled the country talking to party leaders about how Democrats intend to meet the moment.

This recording was originally broadcast in 1963, in the first year of Taiwan's first terrestrial TV station, the Taiwan Broadcasting Company. "Look me in the eye" takes a short sequence of a mountain folk song sung by a women's chorus, from the original 30-minute recording. I layered sound in GarageBand, selecting and editing archival material, contemporary field recordings, overheard dialogue and digital loops, to build aural glimpses of cultural, temporal, and geographic landscapes. By positioning the mountain folk song in dialogue with a recording of a metro train in a Tokyo tunnel, I form a sonic relationship between the mountain above, the underground below, and the distant flatland of my Newhaven studio from which the piece is composed.The folk song functions as both voice and landscape, carrying the acoustic imprint of elevation and openness (shaped by geography rather than infrastructure), of a community embedded in place, where sound travels across valley and mountain, retaining its sense of distance and air, pointing toward cultural memory rooted in the land. In contrast, the Tokyo metro recording introduces a dense, enclosed soundscape. The arrival and departure of a train, with its mechanical rhythm and reverberant tunnel, defines movement, efficiency, and compression. This sound carries additional historical weight: Japan occupied Taiwan from 1895 until the end of the Second World War, leaving lasting marks on its infrastructure, education, and cultural systems. The presence of contemporary Japanese urban sound alongside Taiwanese traditional song resonates not only as a meeting of modern and pre-modern space, but as an echo of shared, asymmetrical history.As sound worlds overlap, they form a layered sonic landscape. The intermittent warmth and discomfort of a questioning voice gets lost beneath the noise of a train, receding and submerged beneath the city. This shifting balance reflects a complex negotiation between tradition, modernisation, and historical memory, echoing the cultural tensions explored by post-war experimental art movements and ideas of Modernism.Yet, a third landscape underlies "Look me in the eye": the lands of the Western world, from which I compose and listen. Positioned beyond both mountain and subway, I observe, engaging with unfamiliar environments through recordings, digital tools, and historical distance. This perspective acknowledges the role of translation, power, and interpretation."Look me in the eye" presents landscape as something heard rather than seen. By moving between mountain, underground, and flatland perspectives, the piece reflects on how sound carries history, place, and identity across time, distance, and cultural boundaries. The folk song becomes less a fixed artifact and more a mutable terrain, shaped by time, technology, and reinterpretation.Regional music of the Republic of China (Taiwan) reimagined by Rachael Adams.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

In this special episode of the podcast Le Bijou comme un Bisou, the “Coup de Cœur Créateur” playlist shines a spotlight on jewelry designer Julia Mosina and her iconic creation: the Peace Ring, an entirely handmade 999 silver filigree ring.Inspired by harmony and balance, the Peace Ring evokes a large, airy flower that naturally embraces the hand. Although it spans almost three fingers, it is surprisingly lightweight and semi-transparent. Delicate and organic, the ring allows light and air to pass through, subtly revealing the skin beneath. It makes a statement without being ostentatious — a refined, contemporary expression of quiet luxury.Julia Mosina's signature lies in her unique technique, developed over three years of experimentation. Positioned between traditional filigree and metal lace, her approach draws inspiration from textile practices such as weaving and knitting, but applied to fine silver wire shaped entirely by hand. Each piece requires patience, precision, and deep focus, with two to three days of meticulous craftsmanship needed to complete a single jewel.Her metal of choice is 999 silver, prized for its softness and flexibility, which she compares to textile. She also works with 14k and 18k gold, a more demanding material, as well as fine and precious gemstones including London blue topaz, turquoise, opals, pearls, and diamonds, delicately set within her airy structures.Based in Paris, Julia finds inspiration in the city's streets — especially the Rue de la Paix — as well as in luminous memories of Saint-Tropez. Each design carries the emotion of a place, a moment, an atmosphere.Founded in 2025, her brand embodies a clear vision: to celebrate strong, powerful, intelligent women in balance with themselves. Through solid metal transformed into delicate lace, the Peace Ring expresses feminine strength in its most refined form — a statement piece at the crossroads of textile art and contemporary fine jewelry.This special playlist will be updated with new episodes including my favorite creators to whom I award a special kiss like a jewel.

In this open discussion episode, the Monday Meeting team discuss pricing negotiations, client communication, testimonials, and building a focused freelance business.This episode covers:Pricing confidence and boundaries: Never undercut yourself—costs you money to take less money, with emphasis on qualifying leads upfront and establishing clear rate anchors that filter inappropriate clientsDiscovery call essentials: Always discuss budget during the first call to avoid sticker shock, using casual approaches like "let's talk about the budget” while building relationship rapportContract protection strategies: Beyond legal documents, relationships matter most—implement 50-25-25 payment structures, rush fees, scope change fees, and revision limits to protect your businessTestimonial best practices: Write testimonials for clients first to activate reciprocity bias, request specific feedback areas (technical skills, communication, project management) rather than generic praise, and follow up within days of project completionFocus over breadth: Select maximum three specialized pillars (like character design, 2D animation, game development) rather than marketing yourself as a generalist—word of mouth within focused sectors compounds fasterPortfolio clarity: Avoid creative industry jargon like "keyframe ninja" or "rockstar"—clients need concrete understanding of what you deliver and how it solves their business problemsUpcoming Events:Game Night scheduled for March 4th at 6PM PacificNext week's episode will feature a themed discussion (theme TBD)Visit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Newsletter⁠Open Pixel Studios Price CalculatorGet Wright On It Price GuideTiny TestimonialsJen's Testimonial PageAlignable

What do you do when the villain is gone, but his evil plan is still in motion?In Esther chapter 8 Haman is dead, but his genocidal edict is sealed by Persian law and cannot be changed. Esther, Mordecai, and every Jew across 127 provinces are marked for death.In this episode, we uncover the "great reversal" as Mordecai moves from sackcloth to the King's signet ring. Then Esther, the master of diplomacy, approaches King Xerxes a second time to plead for the lives of her people. Through divine providence, a new decree transforms the Jews' death sentence into a declaration of defense.Episode Highlights:From condemned to crowned: How Mordecai received Haman's estate, authority, and the King's signet ring.The legal loophole: Why the King couldn't "cancel" the law and how Mordecai's counter-decree legalized a war for survival.A pattern of intercession emerges: Moses, David, and Esther each risked their lives pleading for God's people, pointing us toward Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection offer eternal intercession for each of us todayApplicable themes:This episode reveals powerful truths about God's power and our response to His calling. Consider how these themes apply to your life today.Positioned for purpose: Like Esther, you may be placed 'for such a time as this" in circumstances that seem impossible but serve God's greater purposes.We're called to intercede: Where might God be calling you to stand in the gap and intercede for others as Esther did, even when the outcome is uncertain?Trusting God's reversals: God specializes in reversals.

Identity fraud spiked 148% in 2025 as AI democratized identity fabrication. Financial institutions now face a fundamental question: Are you dealing with a real human? Heka Global is addressing this with web intelligence—analyzing digital footprints like connected applications rather than traditional signals. In this episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Idan Bar Dov, Co-Founder & CEO of Heka Global, to explore how his company created a fourth layer in the anti-fraud stack and why legacy identity verification systems are becoming liabilities rather than assets. Topics Discussed:  The emergence of "fraud as a service" and why consumer-facing attacks replaced traditional enterprise breaches  How web intelligence works: validating identity through connected applications and digital footprints  The anti-fraud tech stack: credit bureaus, biometrics, transaction analytics, and web intelligence as distinct layers  Why heads of fraud expand budgets rather than replace vendors, and what causes solutions to get kicked out  The partnership sales model: navigating vendor management complexity and red tape in financial institutions  Why 10-person dinners and fraud simulations outperform traditional enterprise marketing  How Barclays and Cornerback backing solved the chicken-and-egg problem for a data product  Why specific fraud prevention messaging (account takeover, synthetic identities) beat investor credibility GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target ICP based on liability exposure, not just industry fit: Heka narrowed beyond "financial institutions" to lenders who bear immediate losses from fraud—companies like LendingPoint, Avant, and Upstart. These buyers feel the pain acutely versus institutions with reimbursement terms who can deflect liability. Idan's insight: "We need the client to feel the pain just as much as we see it. That means we want them to see the liability." Map your ICP not just by vertical or size, but by who internalizes the economic impact of the problem you solve. Frame your product as a new stack layer, not a competitive replacement: Heka positioned web intelligence as the fourth distinct layer after credit bureaus, biometrics, and transaction analytics. This became their second pitch deck slide, showing logos of each category. The result: buyers stopped comparing Heka to existing vendors and started evaluating complementary value. When entering mature markets, resist the urge to claim you're "better than X"—instead, define where you fit in the existing architecture and why that layer didn't exist before. Abandon spray-and-pray for sub-1,000 TAM markets: Heka tested Lemlist flows with targeted LLM personalization and saw zero pipeline from it. Idan's take: "When you're selling to maybe a thousand financial institutions, that's it. You can be super specific when you target them." For enterprise plays with small addressable markets, allocate zero budget to automated outbound. Focus entirely on warm introductions, relationship nurturing, and becoming known to every relevant buyer through content and community. Leverage investor networks to break data product cold-starts: Data products face a critical barrier—you need customer data to prove value, but need proven value to get customers. Heka solved this by bringing on Barclays and Cornerback as investors who vouched for the team's capability to "do magic and create a new layer." Their backing convinced risk-averse financial institutions to pilot. If building a product requiring customer data for training or validation, prioritize strategic investors who can credibly de-risk early adoption for target buyers. Build trust through teaching, not pitching: Heka hosts dinners and fraud incident simulations with ~10 heads of fraud per session. Critical detail: they never pitch Heka in these forums. Idan explained the approach focuses on "building a community around Heka and how people engage with your product and you being a thought leader while listening." In high-trust categories, educational forums where you facilitate peer learning without selling create stronger pipeline than direct pitching. Structure partnerships with active enablement and incentive alignment: Idan's key lesson: "Partnerships are not synonymous to distribution channels." Heka requires partner sales teams to join early customer conversations to learn the pitch, provides detailed API and output training, and ensures partners get extra compensation for selling non-core products. Without this, partners lack motivation to prioritize your solution. Structure partnerships as true collaborations requiring ongoing enablement investment, not passive referral channels. A/B test credibility signals versus technical specificity: Idan assumed messaging around Barclays backing would crush, while specific fraud prevention content (account takeover, synthetic identity detection) was an afterthought. The data showed 10x better response to technical specificity. The lesson: sophisticated buyers in technical categories respond to precise problem-solving over brand credibility. Test whether your audience values "who backs us" or "exactly what we do" before defaulting to investor logos and validation. //  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.

Mike Gallagher and Drew Dinkmeyer take another look at the NBA trades from the deadline as teams try to position themselves for cap flexibility and investing in developmental pieces for the future, while also touching on the issue of so many teams attempting to take ahead of a generationally strong draft class, and what options the NBA can take going forward to disincentivize tanking. 

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… MERCEDES CAUSE PANIC! RIVAL TEAMS LOOK FOR FIA INTERVENTION BEFORE START OF SEASON. ALL EYES ON ADRIAN NEWEY AND ASTON MARTIN'S EXTREME NEWEY DESIGN BLOWING PEOPLES MIND! WILLIAMS COULD BE SAND BAGGING... AND, FERNANDO STILL THINKING OF THE TRIPLE CROWN!! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: OLIVIER PANIS! Olivier Panis, originally from Oullins, Lyon, is a former French Formula One driver. Early in his career, Panis began with karting, progressing through several junior series before moving up to the French Formula 3 series. By 1990, he secured 4th place in the championship and achieved runner-up status the following year. After karting, Panis competed in two seasons of F3000. His initial season involved challenges with the Apamotox team's stubborn Lola car, while the second season saw him racing for the highly viewed DAMS Equipe team. His perseverance paid off when he was crowned champion, setting the stage for his entry into Formula 1 with Ligier. At 27, Panis joined the French-based Ligier F1 team in 1994. He secured a surprise second-place finish at Hockenheim that season, ending the season 11th overall in the Drivers' Championship. He continued to impress, securing another unexpected second place at the 1995 Australian Grand Prix, despite trailing two laps behind the leader, and finished 8th in the championship. Panis's most astonishing triumph came at the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix, where he drove his way to victory in treacherously wet conditions. It marked Ligier's first win in 15 years—their last—and was the first French victory in a French car at Monaco in 66 years. However, apart from this win, Panis failed to finish higher than fifth for the remainder of the season. In 1997, racing for Prost, who had bought Ligier, Panis showed promise, placing third in the championship standings after six races. Unfortunately, a crash in Canada broke his leg, sidelining him for eight races. He returned for the season's last three races and finished ninth in the championship. The 1998 season was less successful for Panis, who struggled to score points under Prost's management. He earned only a single point across the following season, leading to the end of his relationship with the team. Panis then considered an offer from Williams but opted to test for McLaren instead, which kept his presence in the paddock despite a full-time drive. He joined BAR in 2001, although the team didn't meet his expectations, finishing 14th for two consecutive seasons. In 2003, Panis moved to the new Toyota team to provide his experience and mentor his teammate, Cristiano da Matta. Although he improved in qualifying, his overall results mirrored his previous seasons, finishing 14th once again. Panis continued with Toyota through 2004, his tenth year in Formula One. He announced his retirement in October of that year, effective after the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix. He stayed with Toyota as a test driver through 2005 and 2006, ending his F1 career at age 37, with five podiums and 76 career points from 157 starts.

SEBRING, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2026) – Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network kicks-off the 2026 HSR racing season next weekend at Sebring International Raceway, Feb. 13-15. The must-attend event once again celebrates Sebring's rich sports car racing heritage and notable aviation history with four days of on-track action and an airplane "fly-in" of retro civilian and military aircraft from the World War II era and last half century. HSR Pistons & Props Presented by the Alan Jay Automotive Network honors the legendary Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring sports car race, which runs for the 74th time March 21, and Sebring International Raceway's patriotic aviation history. Hendricks Field, on which Sebring International Raceway stands, was built as a United States Army Air Forces training base during World War II. One plane scheduled to appear is a Beechcraft T-34 Mentor owned and piloted by Bob Hahnemann, who could be the first HSR Pistons & Props participant to take part in both the winged and four-wheel activity. An accomplished pilot and sports car racing competitor, Hahnemann is listed as a co-driver with his son, Matt Hahnemann, in Friday afternoon's B.R.M Chronographes Legacy Enduro in their 2007 No. 111 Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car. Just after the race, Bob will taxi from the adjacent Sebring Regional Airport down the raceway's Ulmann Straight (backstretch) in the T-34, joining a quality lineup of other must-see airplanes and accomplished pilots in a parade to the paddock. Positioned inside the Sebring paddock, the planes will be on display and available for viewing from Friday at 4:30 p.m. through late morning on Sunday. The Beechcraft T-34 Mentor was a post-World War II trainer that was a learning workhorse for thousands of cadets for more than 25 years.  It was used in the Air Force until the 1960s and a go-to in the Navy well into the 1970s. The senior Hahnemann and his partner, Len Tucker, purchased the plane four years ago from legendary NASA astronaut and United States Air Force Colonel Frank Borman, Commander of Apollo 8.  Apollo 8 was the first mission to fly around the Moon. Also a test pilot – and former President of Eastern Airlines – Borman put his own high-performance enhancements on the T-34, installing a Continental IO-550, which was the largest engine you could put in a Mentor. The twin "SU" lettering as the plane's nickname – SU SU IX – also continued Borman's tradition of using the first letters of his wife Susan's name on his aircraft. On the HSR competition side, a highlight of the overall entry list is a nice turnout of entries in the HSR Sasco Vintage Cup for Groups 2 and 3. Home to small-bore racing machines that deliver big-time competition, Sasco Vintage Cup features many unique and eclectic race cars. One particularly rare entry is the Olthoff Racing 1960 No. 26 GSM Dart driven by Englishman John Spiers.  The GSM was built in South Africa by Glass Sport Motor company.  The company, which manufactured the Dart from 1959 until 1962, got its name – Glass Sport – given its use of fiberglass.  The lightweight production sports cars were generally used for racing. The No. 26 has been modified to feature a full flip-top front end and left-hand drive. Power comes from a Ford 1600 Kent engine – produced in Kent, England – with twin side-draft carburetors. Spiers will battle with a top trio of British-built Ginettas, including frequent HSR race winner and podium finishers Hervey Parke in his 1965 No. 11 Ginetta G4 prepared by Michael's Vintage Racing. Michael Oritt drives a similar 1961 No. 82 Ginetta G4 while Thomas Grudovich completes the quick Ginetta contingent in his 1966 No. 425 Ginetta G4. Another favorite small-bore British contender could be the comeback story of the weekend. Accomplished HSR driver Kenneth Greenberg was uninjured in a heavy Turn 1 accident in December's season-ending HSR event at Sebring, but his Air Power Racing 1964 No. 324 Morgan Plus 4 was nearly a total write off. Weston Farmer and the team at Air Power quickly went to work non-stop, and Greenberg and the Morgan are entered in the Vintage Cup sprints and B.R.M Legacy Enduro. Farmer reports many hours are still ahead before traveling to Sebring next week from the team shop in St. Augustine, Fla. after the Morgan's frame was destroyed and even the engine block was cracked in the incident. The team bought a similar 1967 Morgan chassis as a donor car, and the roll cage was completed last week. Oil lines, fuel lines and electrical systems are going in this week and a rebuilt engine recently arrived.

With host retail coach Wendy Batten   https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/   Episode Overview There is a retail trend I'm seeing that is growing across independent retail shops worldwide and I'm sharing all about it in this episode. Let's talk about analog wellness. So what exactly is it? I'm diving into just that in this episode: what it is; how customers are craving slower, more human experiences and how brick-and-mortar retailers are uniquely positioned to meet that need. I'll explain why this shift has little to do with what you sell and everything to do with how customers feel when they're in your shop. I'll share why this matters now, especially as people step back from constant screens, noise, and digital overload. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how analog wellness shows up in retail, how it connects to hospitality and experience-driven sales, and why this approach strengthens loyalty, word of mouth, and long-term growth. Our Key Topics What analog wellness and analog wellbeing mean in a retail context Why customers are seeking slower, tactile, in-person experiences The role of brick-and-mortar shops as places to exhale and feel seen How experience and hospitality replace price-based competition Ways retailers are creating gathering spaces and community moments Why invitations and connection matter more than urgency or discounts Key Takeaways for Retailers on Analog Wellness Customers are craving calm, connection, and human interaction, not constant stimulation. Brick-and-mortar shops can serve as a third space beyond home and work. Experience and how customers feel now drive loyalty more than price. Small, intentional moments of hospitality can create lasting impact. Designing around customer feelings strengthens sales and relationships.   "Analog wellness is not anti-technology. It is pro-human." -Wendy Batten This week, I would love for you to listen in and reflect on how your shop can become a place where customers slow down, feel seen, and want to linger.

What if the dried-up brook isn't a dead end but your doorway to the next miracle? We unpack Elijah's journey from Cherith to Zarephath as a practical framework for modern faith: hide before you herald, receive before you release, and obey before you see the outcome. Along the way, we challenge the myth of a single source by exploring how God's provision shifts forms without losing force—and why clinging to yesterday's method can cause you to miss today's supply.Our guest walks us through the rhythms of process, refining, and promotion with vivid insights: ravens as unlikely couriers, seasonal streams that test trust, and a widow's last meal that becomes a pipeline of provision. We dig into how consecration positions us for wonders, why faith grows strongest when sight is weakest, and how alignment turns believers from storage units into delivery systems. Anchored by Isaiah 45's “treasures in darkness” and the covering promises of Psalm 91, we frame hidden seasons as sacred classrooms where courage, clarity, and calling take shape.You'll hear a powerful personal testimony about carrying a prophetic word through medical valleys, the difference between striving and surrender, and the practical steps that keep you steady when outcomes lag behind obedience. If you're navigating scarcity, uncertainty, or delay, this conversation offers language and tools to keep moving—celebrate the moment you're in, learn what it's teaching, and watch how the next assignment emerges right where the old source ran dry. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review to help more people find these conversations.We love to hear from our listeners!

Prayer with Overseer Azizah MorrisonOn Day 28 of our fast, Overseer Azizah Morrison led a focused and faith-filled time of prayer centered on Psalm 23:6 and the assurance that God's goodness and mercy follow a life aligned with Him. This session invited listeners to lean in to what God has been speaking throughout the fast—concerning purpose, identity, family, and next steps—as preparation for the season ahead.This prayer affirmed that grace has done its work and that goodness is not something to chase, but something that pursues those who walk in alignment with God. As we near the close of this consecration, this moment of prayer positioned hearts to move forward with confidence, peace, and expectancy, trusting that what God has prepared is good and that His guidance remains sure.

A Homecoming Story Suzanne Soliday has come full circle. After opening Suzanne's Studio in Woodstock back in 2018, relocating to Florida in 2021, and continuing her artistic passion in Titusville, she's now back where it all began. In this Tourism Tuesday episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael and cohost from Shenandoah County Tourism, Kary Haun sit down with Suzanne at her freshly reopened studio on West Court Street to explore what makes this creative space so special. Recording on a Friday afternoon with no snow on the ground—yet bracing for a major winter storm by Tuesday—the trio dives into Woodstock's thriving arts scene and the unique experiences awaiting both locals and visitors. More Than Just a Studio Suzanne's Studio isn't your typical paint-and-go craft shop. Instead, it's a community hub where creativity meets connection. "It's not just where you grab a trinket, and you sit and paint, and you leave," Suzanne explains. "We really want them to have an experience." That philosophy permeates everything the studio offers. From the moment guests walk through the door, Suzanne focuses on creating memories, teaching techniques, and helping people discover abilities they didn't know they had. In fact, she admits that her favorite customers are those who claim they're "not artists"—because watching them surprise themselves brings her the greatest joy. A Creative Menu The studio offers an impressive array of artistic mediums. First and foremost, pottery painting remains the foundational offering, allowing children and adults alike to paint on bisque that's then fired into ceramic keepsakes. However, Suzanne has expanded the menu considerably since her Florida days. Glass fusion has emerged as a standout addition. Positioned somewhere between mosaics and stained glass, this technique allows participants to score and cut glass, create designs, and watch as everything fuses together in the kiln to create three-dimensional pieces. Moreover, Suzanne is pushing the boundaries by incorporating ceramic paints with glass, opening up entirely new creative possibilities. Beyond these core offerings, the studio also features fiber arts, where colorful wool gets poked into fabric using simple needles to create soothing, therapeutic art pieces. Additionally, canvas painting remains a favorite, complete with 70 easels available for mobile events at vineyards and other venues. Furthermore, screen art offers a hybrid experience between clay and canvas, using heavy-body texture medium and templates to create surprisingly easy yet impressive results. Classes, Camps, and Community Events Despite being back in Woodstock for less than 30 days at the time of recording, Suzanne has already hit the ground running with a robust schedule. The upcoming Cozy Mug workshop promises to teach four different techniques for creating personalized drinkware. Meanwhile, "Kids Create Like the Great Artists" invites young creators to make their own paint from eggs and chalk, then paint in the style of masters like Gauguin. Looking ahead, spring break camp runs every morning from 9:00 to 11:30 during public school break. Unlike typical craft projects with popsicle sticks and googly eyes, these camps focus on "high-end art" that kids can proudly take home in hand-painted canvas bags. Similarly, summer brings themed camps including Madagascar Camp in June, Campfire Fun in July, and Glam Ranch in August specifically designed for girls ages 12-15. Throughout the year, workshops range from creating nightlights and framed cardinal mosaics to bookshelf sun-catchers and candle screens. Notably, some events—like the bookshelf sun-catcher workshop—have already sold out, demonstrating the community's enthusiasm for these creative opportunities. Perfect Partnerships Suzanne enthusiastically credits Shenandoah County Parks and Recreation, particularly Teresa Funkhouser, for helping launch the business. "Without them, I probably wouldn't have been able to launch this business because they really sold my classes for me," she acknowledges. This partnership continues, with the studio now hosting classes previously offered through Parks and Rec. Additionally, the studio's location just off Court Square positions it perfectly within Woodstock's vibrant downtown ecosystem. Guests can easily grab coffee at Flour to Fork, pick up cupcakes from local bakeries, or browse books at Bonfire Bookstore before or after their creative sessions. In fact, Suzanne actively encourages cross-promotion, suggesting customers buy books at Bonfire then create matching bookshelf sun-catchers at the studio. The studio accommodates up to 50 people in the main space or 20 in the private back room, making it ideal for birthday parties, team-building events, date nights, or girls' weekends. Furthermore, while the studio is working on obtaining an ABC license, private events can currently bring their own wine and beer, creating the perfect atmosphere for adult creativity. Woodstock's Artistic Renaissance Kary paints a picture of Woodstock's flourishing arts community that extends well beyond Suzanne's Studio. Colloquia Arts, a brand new gallery just north of Court Street, hosts monthly shows with receptions. Meanwhile, VECCA features an artist-in-residence working in the window and monthly art shows, typically with receptions on the first Saturday. Additionally, Bonfire Bookstore has launched the Fire Starter Review, an elevated talent show and performance series that Kary describes as "pretty amazing." This concentration of creative energy makes Woodstock a genuine destination for art lovers. As Kary notes, "It's a beautiful place to be and an inspiring place to make art." Winter Wonderland Activities While the podcast focuses heavily on arts and culture, Kary ensures listeners know about Shenandoah County's winter recreation opportunities. With eight wineries scattered throughout the county—the highest concentration in this region of Virginia—visitors can enjoy cozy fireplaces, live music, and special weekend events while gazing out at snow-covered vineyards. Cave Ridge Vineyard's heated igloos offer a particularly magical experience, providing warmth and comfort while creating the feeling of sitting in a winter wonderland. Similarly, Bryce Resort delivers skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snow tubing, and snowshoeing opportunities, with equipment rentals and ski school available for beginners. For those who prefer to stay warm, the Copper Kettle provides food, drinks, and a cozy atmosphere. Celebrating Small Business Success The conversation concludes with well-deserved recognition for The Buttercup, recently named Small Business of the Year by the local chamber. This award highlights the strength of Shenandoah County's small business community and the dedication of entrepreneurs who make the region special. Planning Your Visit Suzanne's Studio welcomes walk-ins Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM during winter months, with expanded hours coming in summer. The studio also opens whenever school is out, recognizing that families seek creative activities during breaks. Interested visitors can explore the full calendar of workshops and classes at suzannes-studio.net, follow along on Facebook at Suzanne's Studio LLC, or check Instagram @suzannestudiollc. For broader Shenandoah County tourism information, including winery events, live music schedules, and seasonal activities, Kary directs everyone to visitshenandoahcounty.com. The Bigger Picture Ultimately, this Tourism Tuesday episode reveals something deeper than just promotional content. It showcases how small businesses like Suzanne's Studio create ripple effects throughout their communities—fostering creativity, building connections, supporting other local businesses, and giving both residents and visitors meaningful experiences that transcend simple transactions. As Suzanne eloquently puts it, when people leave her studio feeling accomplished and encouraged, "it makes them better people when they go out into the world." That philosophy of pouring kindness and encouragement into others creates a better community for everyone—one handmade mug, fused glass piece, and painted canvas at a time.

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.

CalmWave is tackling ICU alarm fatigue—a problem where patients generate up to 1,600 alarms per day because clinicians lack data-driven guidance on setting vital sign thresholds. The company processes 32 million data points daily from a single 14-hospital system by fusing high-frequency vital signs from Philips InteliBridge with EMR data from Epic in real time. This represents 10 billion data points annually at current run rate. Ophir Ronen, a sixth-time founder who previously sold to PagerDuty, built CalmWave by applying enterprise IT operations patterns to healthcare infrastructure. The company secured its first comprehensive system-wide agreement within months of launch and now holds 51 patents with 20 more pending as medical device manufacturers pursue distribution partnerships. Topics Discussed Why middleware interoperability is a prerequisite for clinical safety, not a feature  The technical challenge of fusing 10x more data from vitals systems than EMR systems  Building trust through transparent AI that exposes mathematical reasoning to clinicians  Scaling from 7 million to 32 million daily data points across hospital rollout phases  How CalmWave's common signal format enables data scientists to work with clean datasets  Positioning alarm fatigue as a beachhead into broader hospital operations platforms  The innovation investment arm validation pathway for startup enterprise sales  Extending the signals-incidents-events pattern to energy, defense, and manufacturing GTM Lessons For B2B Founders Interoperability becomes your moat when it's a safety prerequisite: CalmWave couldn't provide safe alarm recommendations using only vital signs data without knowing which medications had been administered that could affect those vitals. This forced them to build bidirectional integration with both Philips InteliBridge (high-frequency vitals) and Epic EMR before addressing the clinical problem. The integration layer itself—which normalizes, enriches, and structures data into their common signal format—became defensible IP. Ophir noted that high-frequency vitals data is "erased on a rolling 30-day basis" at most hospitals, making CalmWave's fused dataset genuinely novel. Founders in healthcare or other regulated industries should identify whether data fusion across siloed systems is required for safety or efficacy, then build that integration capability as core infrastructure rather than expecting customers to solve it. Transparent AI sells better than black box AI in clinical environments: When presenting to 30 senior leaders including a notoriously difficult CMO, CalmWave walked through the mathematical basis of their algorithms—demonstrating exactly how they calculate safe alarm threshold adjustments. The CMO stood up mid-presentation and said, "You guys shouldn't even call yourselves AI. This is math and statistics. I understand exactly what you're doing. Well done. This is truly innovative." This validation from clinical leadership came from showing the work, not from accuracy metrics alone. Founders selling AI into risk-averse environments should build explainability into their core product architecture, enabling clinicians to understand why each recommendation is generated rather than treating interpretability as a post-hoc feature. Innovation investment arms provide validation pathways that bypass procurement: CalmWave's breakthrough came when an innovation investment arm from a major health system reached out after three months of due diligence, then placed them in front of clinicians. Two weeks before signing a comprehensive system-wide agreement, they presented to the C-suite. This pathway avoided traditional vendor procurement cycles. The innovation arm acted as internal champion, pre-validating the startup's approach before exposing them to decision-makers. Founders targeting large healthcare systems should identify which organizations have dedicated innovation or venture arms, recognizing these groups are measured on finding novel solutions rather than minimizing vendor risk. Beachhead problems in enterprise must be urgent enough to overcome startup friction: Ophir explicitly chose alarm fatigue because health systems with IT budgets in the hundreds of millions needed "something compelling enough to make them engage" with a startup. ICU alarm fatigue has regulatory scrutiny, patient safety implications, and nursing burnout consequences that create executive-level urgency. The problem was important enough that clinical leadership would tolerate the integration complexity and vendor risk of working with an early-stage company. Founders should evaluate beachhead opportunities not just by market size but by whether the pain point has organizational consequences severe enough to justify betting on an unproven vendor. Adjacent domain pattern recognition creates non-obvious competitive advantages: CalmWave's team came from building large-scale operations platforms at PagerDuty, where they developed expertise in processing massive streaming data, correlating events, and reducing alert noise. They recognized that ICU alarm fatigue followed the same structural pattern as IT operations alarm fatigue—too many alerts without context. This allowed them to apply a proven architectural approach (signals → alarms → incidents → events) to a new vertical where healthcare incumbents lacked that specific systems thinking. One hospital generates 7 million data points daily; their platform now handles 32 million across multiple facilities. Founders with deep operational expertise in one domain should actively map their architectural patterns to adjacent verticals where incumbents haven't solved analogous problems at scale. // 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.

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.

Why God Uses Faithful People Who Refuse to Move Sometimes obedience doesn’t look like progress. Sometimes faith doesn’t feel victorious. And sometimes standing still feels like failure. In UNC020, Jon Ellis speaks directly to believers who didn’t quit, didn’t compromise, and didn’t walk away, but still feel stuck because nothing has changed. Using Exodus 14 and the moment Israel stood trapped at the Red Sea, this episode reframes waiting as positioning, not punishment. You’ll learn why standing can be the most obedient move you make, why silence doesn’t mean God is absent, and how God often moves only after obedience removes every other option. If you’re faithful but frustrated… If you’re obeying but exhausted… If you’re standing and wondering if it even matters… This episode will help you understand what God is doing while you wait—and why positioned people always see God move. Standing still can feel like failure, but in the Kingdom, it’s often positioning. In UNC020, Jon Ellis explains why obedience doesn’t always produce immediate results, how waiting can actually be alignment, and why God moves on behalf of those who refuse to panic their way out of position. If you’re still faithful but questioning everything, this episode is for you.

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

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.
