Podcasts about Postscript

When a missionary or pastor plants a church, they're not just gathering people—they're making decisions that quietly shape the work for years to come. And one of the decisions that carries great weight is that of “space.” Where do we meet? When do we start on Sundays? How do we stay nimble and mission-focused without being homeless—or overbuilt? Today's conversation sits right in that tension: the blessings a building can provide, and the burdens it can introduce, especially when the work is still small and the people are still growing.My guest today on the Postscript is Blade Sbisa, a church planting pastor in St. Louis who's just getting the work on the ground with a small team. Blade recently stepped into a rare opportunity to purchase a church building at a phenomenal price—complete with a parsonage—before the plant is really ready to use it. So what do you do when the building is bigger than the congregation? How does it effect the culture and set expectations? Blade is thinking through it all in real time, and his process will help a lot of planters—and sending churches—think more clearly about buildings, stewardship, and the work of making disciples.For more information, please follow the link to read this episode's notes.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

Dr. David B. McWilliams - January 11, 2026

Billerica, Massachusetts Hotel PTAC ambience. Enjoy hours of gushing hot air on a cold winter night in your Boston-area hotel room. The TV is off, so no local TV news to slog through. I used to watch local news in this area. Mostly the NBC station, back in the aughts. Their promotions featured station characters referring to themselves as “the neeeews station.”I also worked nearly two decades in local news. Take it from me: you could give up commercial local TV entirely and not miss a beat.Aside from what you think of Ralph Nader from a political perspective, he had the commercial news industry dead to rights in the summer of 2000: “Look at your late-evening news… It's 30 minutes. Nine minutes of ads; three minutes of street crime right at the beginning, never corporate crime, very superficially covered; one minute of impromptu chit-chat between the anchors; four minutes of weather; four minutes of sports — and that's what happens in your town tonight.”Nader didn't mention that our weather studios were named after local florists, and sports were “powered” by local Toyota dealerships.At one job, a befuddled new anchor approached me in the hall.“Do you know where the ‘Terrorism Desk is?”“Oh, for sure,” I said. “You want the lobby.”The lobby had an open window to the station's master control setup, flashing with over thirty monitors showing color bars, live cams, satellite feeds, and other inputs (looks impressive). And that camera station had other monikers: the “Breaking News Desk,” “Hurricane Whomever Desk,” and “We Have a New Baseball Team in Town Desk.”Still just the lobby.Nader also didn't mention sweeps week, the designated ratings period when stations try to attract the largest possible audience. Viewership is collected from a small sample of homes with Nielsen boxes — sometimes just hundreds — that determine a region's TV habits. Sweeps weeks set advertising rates, deciding how much a law firm or Buffalo Wild Wings has to pay to appear in a commercial break.Sweeps week is also a time of intrigue, danger, and sensationalized threats — online predators, out-of-control crime, spikes of spammers. I'm not being facetious: in Albany, I saw a promo claiming drinking water could be dangerous (the water is piped in from the Helderbergs, some of the cleanest water a small city could hope to access — you could eat off the floor in the Helderbergs).Sweeps week is also when favorite network TV characters die. J.R. was shot during sweeps. Brad Pitt showed up on Friends during sweeps.At one station, a producer said, “If Oprah has a Dancing with the Palins…” we'd beat our rival in the 5pm slot. It was the last day of sweeps, Oprah had Bristol and Sarah Palin gab it up on her program. We did hit #1 for the 11 that sweeps period due to the Bristol Palin-led Dancing with the Stars. Sweeps also judge station performance. If you watch local television and see a “We're #1 in something” ad, that's what that is all about. Those ads are specifically for station management, no one else gives a ****.Speaking of — once, walking into a station bathroom, I heard a toilet flush, and a colleague walks out of the stall holding his bag of Chipotle. These are folks you could stand to listen to less, is all I'm saying.Postscript-ish story: when I worked for a station that shared a newsroom with Politico.One morning, I'm walking into my department through the Politico sales area, gabbing with an awesome lady I worked with. Because I'm a stupid klutz, my hand bangs the side of a desk and dislodges my lunch. Which was soup in a Tupperware bowl. And it didn't just spill — it exploded. Clam fragments and sad potatoes amongst a red ooze splashed and soaked into the carpet (which, I'm not embellishing here, was new and cream-colored).I don't know what smells pleasing to you at 8:57 AM — I'm positive it isn't canned Manhattan Clam Chowder hit with 27 spluts of Tabasco.Awesome lady grabs my elbow and is like, “Go, go, go, go.”

Speaking with Guy Duperreault, writer, yoga teacher, COVID refugee, and uncompromising seeker of truth. Guy speaks from Oaxaca, Mexico, where he landed after refusing a vaccine mandate cost him his engineering career in Canada and set him walking across the U.S. border with four suitcases and a partner. Years later these changes have materialized into what unfolds into a discussion that is part spiritual autobiography, part civilizational diagnosis. From Edward de Vere to the Bhagavad Gita, from Kundalini practice to the economics of manufactured consent, Guy draws from eclectic sources with the confidence of someone who has stopped caring whether it sounds respectable. His central provocation that all morality is the rationalized removal of compassion opens into a wider meditation on intimacy, anxiety, and what it means to listen to your body when every institution is asking you not to.On the fake and the fabricated, on muscle testing and intuition, on leaving Canada, on synchronicity as guidance system, on economics as fakery, on trauma, on the body as truth-teller, on his critiques of feminism but not the feminine, on accountability, on the relativity of time, on Oaxaca, on expression of God, and more…Connect with Guy Duperreault | Becoming A Refugee in the Time of CovidExcepts On ActionWhenever I'm blaming or complaining, I'm giving away my ability to choose action.On Feminism vs Feminine We deny the history through mythology of the power of the female. So one of the great lies of feminism is that women are weak. That's bullshit, right? They're much stronger than men in many respects, and men respect them much more because women have the ability to create life in a way that men do not have.On Being Victim I was a victim of a narcissistic mother. And not only she was a narcissistic mother, she was also angry. And it turns out that she confessed to me when I was 18 years old that she had actually killed me as an infant and that I needed to be revived in some way. I have no recollection of that. Michelle has informed me that the way she killed me was by beating me to death, which I didn't know.Post Script from Guy:Perhaps include a link to my essay on have to and should.

In this episode the operators break down their actual results from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, analyzing why some brands experienced record growth while others saw shifts in consumer behavior between the US and Canadian markets. They debate critical holiday strategies, such as the benefits of starting sales early versus maximizing profit during high-intent windows, and explore the theory that inflation is driving consumers back toward durable goods over expensive experiences. The discussion also covers the increasing reliance on "Buy Now, Pay Later" services, the potential risks of mounting consumer debt, and essential tactics for managing post-holiday returns and preventing e-commerce fraud.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:35 - BFCM Recap00:18:36 - Regional Sales Trends00:30:52 - Inflation's Impact00:40:39 - Buy Now Pay Later00:53:45 - Returns ManagementPowered By:Fulfil.io.https://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.

professorjrod@gmail.comPrinters and multifunction devices are more than just simple office tools—they're intricate systems combining optical, thermal, mechanical, and networked computing components. In this episode, we decode printer technology and its critical role in business operations, highlighting how these devices impact IT skills development and technology education. From unboxing to output, we explore the key decisions that keep your pages moving smoothly while safeguarding your data. Whether you're preparing for CompTIA exams or seeking practical IT certification tips, this episode offers valuable insights into managing printer technology within your IT infrastructure.Instructional Downloadable Resource Guidehttps://www.professorjrod.com/downloadsWe start with fit-for-purpose buying—matching speed, DPI, trays, duplexing, and duty cycle to real workloads—then move to placement and environment, where airflow, humidity, and power quality determine whether a fleet runs smoothly or jams at 4:58 p.m. Firmware strategy matters more than most shops admit: back up configs, schedule updates, and never interrupt a flash. On connectivity, we compare USB simplicity against Ethernet and Wi‑Fi flexibility, then layer in drivers and PDLs—PCL for speed, PostScript for precision, XPS for Windows pipelines—plus the color logic of CMYK. You'll hear clean exam clues for the A+ and practical tells for real-world triage, like when a single user's issue is just a preference and not a driver.Inside the box, we translate the seven-step laser process into actionable troubleshooting: charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, and cleaning each leave fingerprints—smears, ghosting, or blank pages—that point straight to the failing part. We round out the print tech tour with inkjet (thermal vs piezo), thermal printers (direct vs transfer), and impact units for multipart forms. Then we head to the network, where DHCP reassignments, wrong ports, and spooler crashes derail entire floors. Print servers centralize power and risk, and mobile/cloud printing adds discovery quirks and new attack surfaces.Security is the blind spot: printers hold disks, address books, and cached jobs. We lay out the must-haves—PIN or badge release, secure erase, firmware signing, role-based access, and segmentation—so confidential pages don't land in the wrong tray and default passwords don't become open doors. We finish with ethics, because technicians handle sensitive data and trust is the real SLA. If you want sharper troubleshooting, stronger security, and higher A+ exam confidence, this one's a field guide you'll use tomorrow.Enjoyed the deep dive?

He shares the inside story of selling his brand to private equity and how their strategy to create an attainable luxury diffusion line was the "kiss of death", violating the rules of luxury pricing.

Our stories evolve as we do. They morph and change. Ideally, they grow in essence, even as they become agile in form - bendy, I like to say. They push us like the wind in the trees. They speak gently to us, and through us, like the stars at night. They hold us up when we don't know who we are, like the ground we walk on. They are alive so long as we are. This is contrary to what we are taught about facts... Enter YOUR labyrinth at: BeWhoYouAre.com   Request: I recorded this book for a podcast platform so that you can listen for free.

The discussion addresses remaining questions about the moral gap between Mosaic law and early Christian teaching, arguing that Scripture reflects a progressive moral pedagogy rather than an immediate ideal. The framework employs natural law theory and Eastern Orthodox theology to distinguish between morally impermissible slavery and morally acceptable servitude arrangements, while contextualizing Old Testament ethics within the Ancient Near Eastern cultural baseline from which God drew his people toward eventual Christian perfection.All the links: Substack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenathanjacobspodcastWebsite: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/X: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUtCwDT40uFbqTk3QSApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nathan-jacobs-podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nathanandrewjacobsAcademia: https://vanderbilt.academia.edu/NathanAJacobs00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:20 Recapping the Slavery Episode 00:08:20 Recapping the Polygamy Episode 00:10:00 Recapping the Genocide Episode 00:11:27 Why a 4th Episode? 00:15:00 Slaying of Innocence 00:19:45 Possibility #1 00:20:30 Possibility #2 00:22:15 Possibility #3 00:23:40 The Rich Man and Lazarus 00:27:30 The Most Troubling Psalm 00:36:17 Lingering Concerns with Genocide 00:42:35 Are the Innocent Damned? 00:46:35 Loose Ends with Slavery 00:53:29 The Law and Moral Progress 01:00:50 Sensitivity of Moral Faculties 01:06:15 The Ideal of the Logos
