Podcasts about Primacy

We are back to our normally scheduled programming as Clef and Tim talk a little disc golf controversy before getting into our battle of board game recent plays. We discuss The Gamer Makers, Ayar: Children of the Sun, Andromeda's Edge, Imperial Steam, Pax Pamir and Primacy. We also ask the question if optimal play ruins our board game plays. Board games start at 19:44. Join the discord at discord.gg/s8hYtWkMS3 to jump into the discussion!

In this episode of The Spear, host Charlie Faint sits down with the command team of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Colonel Sean Karrels and Command Sergeant Major Julio Santos, for a conversation about the people, leadership, and culture behind the Night Stalkers. Drawing on decades of experience in Army aviation and special operations, the two discuss their paths into the regiment, what the 160th looks for in its soldiers and leaders, and why teamwork, disciplined initiative, accountability, and mastery of the fundamentals remain central to its success. They explore how the regiment practices mission command, learns from failure, maintains demanding standards, and balances technological innovation with the tactical skills required to operate in the world's most challenging environments. Looking toward future conflicts, they also discuss artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, contested operating environments, and why the regiment's greatest advantage remains its people. Throughout the conversation, Sean and Julio return to a defining idea of the culture in the 160th: Night Stalkers don't quit.

One of the major concerns in our discipline is that in an era of instant gratification and "easy button" demands from clients, the core fundamentals are easily forgotten.Our guest today, Roger Tregear, shares this concern and wrote a book about it: Elements. In it, he details the 20 elements that constitute a good Business Process Management (BPM) practice, and I highly recommend downloading and reading it.Roger's career centers on consulting, writing, and speaking about process management. He helps organizations improve performance by designing and activating "perpetual improvement machines" through active process-based management.In this episode of the podcast, we discuss:Engineering and Telecom Origins: Roger shares his professional background, moving from electrical engineering and early data communications at ICL into strategic telecommunications consulting.The "Aha!" Moment with ARIS: In late 2000, Professor Michael Roseman introduced the ARIS tool to Roger, providing the formal language and framework for cross-functional concepts he had been exploring for years.Bonsai as a Process Discipline: Outside of BPM, Roger nurtures bonsai trees—a hobby requiring a daily, seasonal, and multi-year process framework rooted in patience and long-term planning.Why AI Cannot Replace Process Understanding: AI tools and automation cannot fix broken or misunderstood workflows. Without a foundational process structure, deploying AI agents only accelerates unpredictable outcomes.The Primacy of Cross-Functional Processes: While traditional organizations manage vertically via org charts, actual value, strategy execution, and customer experiences occur horizontally across functional silos.Management vs. Hope: Every organization operates via processes by default. The only strategic choice is whether leadership chooses to actively manage those processes or rely on hope.The "M" in BPM Stands for Management: The ultimate purpose of BPM is not modeling or documentation, but improving organizational performance in a tangible, measurable way.Defining Core Processes from Strategic Intent: Rather than relying on generic templates like "Order-to-Cash," core process architectures should be built by analyzing the organization's explicit strategic promises to its customers and stakeholders.Overcoming Executive Resistance to "Busy Work": To prevent leadership from dismissing BPM as an endless flowcharting exercise, teams must set clear guardrails, focus on high-impact areas, and avoid building bloated internal bottlenecks.Pruning the Architecture (Starting Small): Building a working three-level process architecture takes only a few weeks. Implementation should immediately focus on piloting three manageable, high-priority processes rather than attempting to govern hundreds at once.Targeting Process KPIs (PKPIs): Effective process governance requires distinguishing vertical functional metrics from horizontal Process Key Performance Indicators that measure how the overall workflow satisfies key stakeholder expectations.Focusing on High-Impact Processes: Organizations should avoid modeling every process to the lowest level. Deeper analysis and governance should be applied strictly to the top 20–30 high-impact processes driving major outcomes or risks.Process Transformation is Social: Successful BPM implementation depends less on tooling and technical diagrams and more on engaging operational staff, earning buy-in, managing human change, and empowering teams.You can find Roger on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogertregear/.Please reach out to us by either sending an email to ⁠hello@whatsyourbaseline.com⁠ or signing up for our newsletter and reading articles about process and architecture on our Substack … Go and subscribe at ⁠whatsyourbaseline.substack.com⁠.And if you like to support “the little podcast that could,” become a Patron at ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/whatsyourbaseline⁠.

In the first video (Episode 166), Ellen compared Joan of Arc to Lindsay Clancy and asked the question: If Joan of Arc and Lindsay Clancy each heard voices that told her to kill, why was Joan of Arc right to follow them and Lindsay Clancy was wrong? Furthermore, how do you know if you hear a voice that tells you to kill whether it is from God? Many viewers on YouTube fiercely objected to the mere comparison, so in the next episode (167), Fr. McCarthy joined us to answer some of the common (and thoughtful) objections voiced by those who seriously took offense at the comparison. In Part I (Episode 167), we tried to remove mental barriers so that we could get back to the main question: How do you know if you hear a voice that tells you to kill whether it is from God? We address that question here in Part II, and respond to those who ventured answers to the question in the comments of the YouTube video.See Part I: ANSWERING OBJECTIONS here:https://youtu.be/c0oN3Rd_6cE?si=PpcuJh5JogCitWnPPART II: RESPONDING TO THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION "How do you know if a voice is from God?"0:00 picking up where we left off in Part 1 (Episode 167)1:48 Answer #1: "The voice was from God because Joan said they were saints." 11:30 Answer #2: "What about the Crusades?" 18:32 "It might be a voice from God if the voice is telling you to fight a defensive war." 19:47: Literacy, Education, and the Bible28:42 Poor Joan of Arc----31:07 Primacy of Conscience33:44 Poor Lindsay Clancy----35:34 The State----37:36 Guilt, Evil, Sin, and Accountability ----41:15 Church vs. StatePlease help keep this podcast going!Buy your "Infallible Jesus" t-shirt here: https://catholics-against-militarism.checkoutstores.com/Become a CAM supporter for $3, $5, or $10 a month. https://www.buzzsprout.com/296171/supportMake a one-time gift to Ellen at Venmo:Ellen-FinniganFind CAM here:  https://catholicsagainstmilitarism.comRSS feed: http://www.buzzsprout.com/296171​Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/CAMpodcastFind Fr.

Du betrittst einen Raum und noch bevor du das erste Wort gesagt hast, haben sich die anderen bereits ein Urteil gebildet. Erstaunlich oft liegen solche Blitzurteile richtig. Aber was, wenn wir uns täuschen und trotzdem an unserem ersten Eindruck festhalten? In dieser Folge sprechen Steffi und Lukas darüber, wie Primacy- und Halo-Effekt unsere Wahrnehmung verzerren, warum manche Menschen Warnsignale übersehen und ob man lernen kann, besser auf andere zu wirken. Anhand zweier Hörer*innenmails zeigen sie, wie wir unserem Gespür wieder vertrauen können und warum es meist wichtiger ist, interessiert zu sein als interessant.+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Sponsoren findet ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/sobinicheben+++"So bin ich eben" ist jetzt auf Campfire!

Today's homily features a personal reflection delivered on a humid Sunday morning, blending intimate reflections with scriptural analysis of Matthew's Gospel. I recount the death anniversary of my mother before transitioning into a discussion on Jesus' visit to Caesarea Philippi, where Peter identifies Christ as divine. A central theme of the message is that faith is a gift of grace from God, not a result of human intelligence or data collection. The homily highlights how Jesus changed Simon's name to Peter, establishing him as the foundational rock and first leader of the Church. Finally, I encourage listeners to act as “rocks” of support for their families and communities by using their unique talents to serve others.

BUILDING THE CHURCH THROUGH TRAVAILING PRAYER Minister: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa Message Summary The growth, victory, and establishment of the Church are anchored upon the foundational ministry of prayer. Drawing from Matthew 16:18, Jesus declared, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." While the promise of victory is guaranteed, the practical execution of building the church and repelling the gates of hell requires believers to engage in knowledgeable, fervent prayer. Prayer without revelation is mere noise, but prayer rooted in the Word operates as a divine spiritual law. Because God gave dominion of the earth realm to man (Genesis 1:26), spiritual activity and divine intervention require human cooperation through prayer. Believers are mandated not to faint, but to enter into the deeper dimensions of intercession—moving past surface-level petitions into spiritual labor, travail, and birthing (Galatians 4:19; Colossians 4:12). Through this kind of prayer, spiritual resistance is broken, the harvest of souls is reaped, and the Church advances with undeniable power. Sermon Notes Main Scriptures: Matthew 16:18; Psalm 138:2; John 1:1; Luke 18:1; Luke 10:19; Galatians 4:19; Colossians 4:12 1. The Church as Christ's Personal Project The Master Builder: Jesus specifically said, "I will build My church." The Church is His personal possession, and working to advance it makes the believer a co-laborer with Christ. Persistent Resistance: The "gates of hell" actively attempt to resist the expansion of the Church, but they are stripped of the power to prevail when the Church takes its place in prayer. Beyond Social Entertainment: Modern Christianity frequently waters down its spiritual heritage with entertainment. The true power and impact of the Church return when it prioritizes prayer and the ministry of the Word. 2. The Legal Necessity of Prayer Prayer Based on Knowledge: Prayer without spiritual understanding produces noise without impact. True prayer is the application of spiritual laws. God's Earthly Operating System: In Genesis 1:26, God assigned dominion over the earth to man. Consequently, God works through human vessels to execute His divine will on earth. John Wesley's Principle: "God does nothing but in answer to prayer." Prayer gives heaven legal permission to intervene in terrestrial affairs. The Primacy of the Word: In Psalm 138:2, God has magnified His Word above all His Name. Effective prayer enforces what God has already decreed in His Word. 3. The Dominion of the Believer Over Darkness Demonic Trespassing: Demonic spirits seek human bodies or circumstances to express their works of darkness. Without legal right, their presence is illegal. Luke 10:19 Authority: Believers have been given authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, with the covenant guarantee that nothing shall by any means hurt them. Overcoming False Fears: Believers must not live in intimidation of witchcraft or occultism. When light shines and spiritual authority is exercised, darkness must bow. 4. Entering the Realm of Labor and Travail in Prayer Prayer Beyond Words: There is a dimension of intercession that transcends ordinary articulation—entering into spiritual groaning and birthing. Birthing Christ in Men (Galatians 4:19): Paul spoke of travailing in birth again until Christ was formed in the believers. Discipleship, spiritual growth, and maturity require spiritual labor. The Ministry of Epaphras (Colossians 4:12): Epaphras, an ordinary church member, was commended for laboring fervently in prayers that the church might stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. The Historical Pattern: Great moves of God, such as the revivals under Charles Finney and Father Nash, were birthed not on public platforms, but through hidden, agonized prayer meetings. Key Declarations & Prayer Points Declaration: "The Church of Jesus Christ is marching on, and the gates of hell shall never prevail against it!" Declaration: "I am a co-laborer with Christ; I take my place on the altar of intercession to birth the purposes of God in my generation." Prayer for the Spirit of Prayer: Lord, pour out the spirit of grace and supplication upon the church. Raise up modern-day Epaphrases who will labor fervently for the maturity and advancement of the saints. Prayer for Kingdom Advancement: Enforce Kingdom dominion over your city, community, and nation; dismantle every gate of hell contending against the growth and revival of the Church.

Healthcare companies are built to improve patients' lives. So why do so many prioritize shareholders over the people they're meant to serve?This week, Halle sits down with Eric Ries, author of Incorruptible, to unpack the rise of shareholder primacy, what it is, and why he believes it's at the root of many of society's biggest challenges. They discuss the surprising history of corporate governance, the lessons behind Novo Nordisk's century-long success, and what founders can do today to keep their companies aligned with their mission as they grow.We cover:Why shareholder primacy reshaped corporate America (and where we go from here)How Novo Nordisk's unusual ownership structure may have saved GLP-1 researchThe simple governance change that could preserve your company's mission for decadesHow boards, investors, and acquisitions can slowly pull companies away from their original purposeThe founder mistakes that make mission drift almost inevitableAbout our guest:Over the last two decades, Eric Ries's ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance, and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices. He is the creator of the Lean Startup method, and the author of two New York Times bestsellers The Lean Startup and Incorruptible; The Leader's Guide; and The Startup Way. As a founder, he has put his own ideas into practice with The Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE); Answer.AI, an AI R&D lab; Virgil, a legal services startup; and IMVU. On The Eric Ries Show, he talks with world-class technologists, thought leaders, and executives building for the long-term.

What happens when one of the most popular carry pistols in America gets a new magazine that might change the conversation? In this episode of Student of the Gun, Paul and Jarrad dig into the primacy effect, Glock's new steel magazines for the 43X and 48, and why "new and improved" doesn't always mean what the internet thinks it means. From the debate over whether the Glock 19 is "dead" to the bigger lessons hidden inside firearms training, this episode connects gear, psychology, and real-world performance in a way that will make you rethink how shooters are taught, and what they remember first. Along the way, you'll hear sharp observations about training scars, habit formation, and why the first lesson can shape everything that follows. If you care about concealed carry, firearms instruction, or simply understanding why some ideas stick harder than others, this is an episode worth your time. Play the episode now and find out why the first lesson may be the most important one of all.

Your dashboard says you are their primary bank. You may only be their vault. More than half of the new checking accounts opened today are additional accounts. The direct deposit lands with you. The relationship lives somewhere else. Primacy no longer begins with the transaction. It begins earlier, at the moment a customer asks their first financial question. Last year, 10% of Americans took that question to an AI. This year it is 55%, and 77% among Gen Z. Those conversations are not happening with their bank, even though consumers still trust their financial institution far more than they trust an AI with their money. Jim Marous covers the four questions customers are already asking, and how banks and credit unions can answer them first: instant access to cash with no application and no credit bureau, a payday message that says what is safe to spend, subscription alerts with a one-tap cancel, and an open-ended question bar with a human at the bottom of every answer. Featuring Huntington, Regions, Bank of America and Erica, Fifth Third, and the implementation gap that keeps good ideas from ever reaching a customer.

We're halfway through 2026, and the fintech landscape is moving faster than anyone can track. In this new episode of One Vision Podcast, Theo brings back three fan favorites — Jennifer White (J.D. Power), Tiffani Montez (Insider Intelligence / EMARKETER), and Julie Muhn (Finovate) — for a midyear roundtable that covers it all.What did the recent Finovate Spring reveal about where AI is actually landing in financial services? Tiffani shares the latest from the AI Visibility Leadership Board — why banks are no longer competing for attention, they're competing for recommendations, and why the rules of discovery have completely changed. Jennifer brings the data that captures our attention: 53% of consumers used AI in the last 3 months to ask a personal finance question. While awareness of bank-provided PFM tools runs 70–90%, adoption sits at 17–22%. Soft churn is now the real primacy threat. And Julie calls out one of the hardest questions in fintech: what's real, and what's just marketing?This episode covers AI as infrastructure, the trust paradox, agentic payments, GEO vs. SEO, and why the money leaving your primary bank might be the most important signal nobody's watching closely enough.

The Treatise confesses that the Church has been instituted by Christ. This confession gives us a basic understanding of how the Church will operate: not according to our own interests, but according to the LORD's desires as revealed in His Word. We believe, teach, and confess that Christ is the head of the Church, not a man.

The subscribers of the Treatise publicly confessed that the Lord had given the Church to call, elect, and ordain qualified ministers for the office of the Ministry.  The subscribers affirmed that the Pope had no divine right to universal supremacy over the Church as Christ and Christ alone is head. Thanks be to God that the confession of the subscribers of the 16th century is still our confession today.

Why Sheila believes nature study to be so crucial to a Charlotte Mason education How the mother's interest in the natural world can inspire her children What did Charlotte Mason mean when she said we were all meant to be naturalists? Where to start if you really haven't done any nature study yet? What was the nature study movement in America and it's possible influence on Mason? Restoring a vision for the primacy of God's creation in our families What changes has Sheila seen in families when nature study becomes a regular part of their lives? What could nature study look like for a family just starting out? For the full show notes on this episode, please visit https://thenewmasonjar.com/142. 

The Office of the Keys, the power to forgive and retain sins, has been given to the Church. This is why the Church has the right to elect and ordain qualified ministers. When one decides that the Church no longer has this authority, no matter their position, they are outside of the Lord's calling and are not to be followed. The Reformers began to elect and ordain their own ministers to assure that the pure Gospel was preached and souls received a clear conscience in Christ. Rev.

The government is now going after regular people who oppose data centers and are calling it "anti-tech extremist violence.” Congress's anti-China conspiracy theory about data center opposition in the US is a very real farce. Bernie Sanders is in the New York Times with a new proposal to seize the means of A.I. production, sort of. New Zealand is allowing itself to fall into a militarist trap of its own making--what's at stake in the debate about New Zealand military spending and its anti-nuclear stance. Pete Hegseth's speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue confirms one thing: The US is still pursuing global primacy, only under conditions where it's neither possible nor justified, and that means violence. What makes opposition to A.I. data centers a strategically useful site for both people-power struggles and state repression. And the U.S. has illegally killed more than 200 people in over 60 strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific--that's what the Monroe Doctrine looks like. #podcast #geopolitics #datacenter #currentaffairs Subscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/  Watch Un-Diplomatic Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@un-diplomaticpodcast  Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the individuals and not of any institutions

Eric Ries is an author, podcaster, and founder of The Lean Startup. He hosts The Eric Ries Show and his notable books Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great, The Lean Startup, Farther, Faster, and Far Less Drama, The Leader's Guide, and The Startup Way. Greg and Eric discuss why startups and corporations lose their mission through shifts from founder-to investor-control, changing from long-term focus to short-term focus, and purpose-driven to profit-driven behavior. Eric argues governance is “organizational soul craft” and critiques shareholder primacy as a recent, judge-and-academic-driven ideology that creates unaccountable short-term pressure, metric surrogation, and value destruction, even for shareholders.  Eric also explains how markets reward short-term cost-cutting (e.g. reduced R&D), and why mission-driven companies can outperform. He outlines practical protections such as writing mission primacy into charters, converting to Public Benefit Corporations, and stronger structures like foundation ownership (e.g. Novo Nordisk and Patagonia). *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Mission-driven or mission-hopeful? 12:39: So I think for companies, we're seeing this world now where we have a divergence between the mission statement and the actual mission or purpose of the organization. So the mission statement is lofty. I tell the story in the book of Silicon Valley Bank before it collapsed. Its mission statement was something like, “To advance the innovation economy,” or whatever. But its actual legal purpose was just maximize shareholder value. So this divergence caused the collapse of the bank. And so, first of all, if you have a mission statement, but your purpose says “any lawful act or activity,” you're lying. Just so you know, you are lying to your customers. You are lying to your employees. You're lying to everyone you say that mission to because, according to current legal theory, you could be replaced at a moment's notice by your investors, who will then can change the mission to whatever they want. I call that not being mission-driven. You are mission-hopeful. You're hoping nobody will do this to you in the future. Governance is organizational soul craft Governance sounds really boring, but it's really the art of organizational soul craft. It's actually really interesting. And if we can get leaders and founders to pay more attention to it, they can have a much higher probability of their organization enduring. The age of temporary organizations 27:46: I say we've entered an era of temporary managers running temporary organizations for the benefit of temporary owners because executive tenure, company lifespan, and average holding period of stocks have all collapsed in the last, especially the last twenty-five years, let alone the last forty years. So, I don't think it's possible to really have—it's very difficult to build a value-creating organization in that span, and the markets will punish you for doing so.

The authority of ministers consists in preaching the Gospel, forgiving sins, administering the sacraments, and excommunicating persons guilty of public sins. The Church, as she possesses the office of the keys, has the right to call and ordain qualified pastors. Bishops have traditionally overseen the ordination of ministers, but they cannot deprive congregations a pastor due to unbiblical additions to their responsibilities. Rev.

On this special episode, Eric Ries, author of the 2011 bestseller "The Lean Startup," discusses his new book, "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great." Ries explains why he's redefining profit as the maximization of human flourishing, reveals his role advising Anthropic's founders on their corporate structure, and makes the case that the era of shareholder primacy is already over. He also discusses the fall of Whole Foods, the Musk v. OpenAI trial, and why he believes mission-controlled companies dramatically outperform. GeekWire's Todd Bishop recorded this conversation with Ries after interviewing him on stage at Seattle Flow Startup Day on May 15. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Banking on Primacy, a four-part podcast miniseries from Fintech Takes, sponsored by Chime. The series orbits one question that has become the most contested in consumer finance: what does it take to earn (and hold) the most important relationship in someone's financial life? In Episode 4, I sit down with Ryan King, technical Co-Founder at Chime, to explore what AI means for the primary account relationship. Ryan has been in and around Silicon Valley as a builder through every major technology wave. He argues that AI isn't another step change; it's a slope change. The closest historical analogy is the Industrial Revolution: factories didn't give workers better tools, they reorganized physical production. Now AI is doing the same thing to knowledge work. At Chime, that belief is already operational: 84% of code is now developed with AI. But the more interesting conversation is about consumers, not code. Most of the financial services industry is racing toward building AI that makes it easier to spend, but is that the problem everyday Americans face? When AI starts making financial decisions on behalf of consumers, whose side is it on? And how does the business model answer that question? Financial institutions have spent decades building trust with millions of account holders. How does that trust translate in a world when OpenAI and Perplexity want the same job? This episode is brought to you by Chime. For most Americans, their primary bank account is their most important financial relationship. Traditional banks held that position and took it for granted. Chime was built differently: fee-free, built to succeed when members do, and now America's #1 banking choice with roughly 10M active members. Chime Prime takes that further: 5% cash back, savings rates up to 9x the national average, premium travel perks, no fees.

Your public confession matters. Melancthon warns that the public confession in the Roman Catholic Church is filled with abuses of the papacy, indulgences, invocation of saints, and celibacy of the priests. He explains that these abuses hide Christ's glory and rob consciences of firm consolation. As the Church battles through the questions of the day, she calls out sin and lack of faith as the LORD does and leans upon the full and sufficient work of Christ for forgiveness. Rev.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with Heather Pollington — ex-Hollywood artist, iconographer, and illustrator for Symbolic World Press. If you haven't listened to Episode 75 yet, start there first.In this second half, Heather and I go deeper into her world as an icon painter — her illustration influences, the iconographic concept of simultaneous narrative, what it felt like to first encounter Orthodox art, and the bigger question of what a living iconographic tradition looks like for Western audiences today. We close with something I found genuinely moving: Heather's candid account of leaving Hollywood behind, and what she's learned about following work you can do with love.Illustration Influences: From the Palekh lacquer-box tradition of Russia to British illustrator Errol Le Cain and Scandinavian master Kay Nielsen — the visual DNA behind Heather's fairy tale work.The Memory Box: Why Heather's illustrations use framed vignettes instead of full-bleed spreads — and how her doll's-house fascination connects to a centuries-old iconographic principle called simultaneous narrative.The Primacy of Meaning: How iconography taught Heather to colour by emotion rather than observation — and why the best icons hold a permanent tension between the knowable and the unknowable.The Pivot Point: How researching medieval art for Maleficent 2 in 2017 became the unlikely doorway into both iconography and a return to meaning.Old World, New World: A rich exchange on the difference between encountering Christian art in historic England versus new and cosmopolitan Canada — and why North America's "blank slate" might actually be an advantage for building a new vernacular tradition.Reading the Room: Heather's approach to making iconography relevant for modern Western audiences — not by inventing, but by selecting from history what already resonates, the same way she once designed for "Michigan Joe" on a Hollywood set.Doing the Work with Love: Heather's honest account of leaving the film industry — not with a plan, but by moving toward the thing she loved. And finding that the world realigned around her when she did.Heather Pollington: Check out Heather's website and Instagram to see her illustration, iconography, and production design work.https://www.heatherpollington.com/https://www.instagram.com/heatherpollingtonSymbolic World Press: The fairy tale books Heather has illustrated for Jonathan Pageau, including The Tale of Snow White and the Widow Queen and The Tale of Rapunzel and the Evil Witch.https://www.symbolicworld.org/Errol Le Cain: British illustrator and one of Heather's key influences — look for his versions of Aladdin and The Magician's Daughter.Kay Nielsen: Scandinavian Golden Age illustrator; his book East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a must-see.Aidan Hart: Icon painter and Heather's teacher in the Orthodox iconographic tradition.https://www.aidanharticons.com/Creative Mornings Vancouver — June 5th: Tom will be speaking at Creative Mornings Vancouver around the theme of "Curate."https://creativemornings.com/talks/tom-froeseICON13 — Baltimore, July 16th Workshop: Tom's workshop at the illustration conference is now sold out, but come say hi if you're there.https://icon13.theillustrationconference.org/scheduleKnow Your Art — Cohort Class Mailing List: Interested in future offerings of Tom's six-week illustration course?

The Gospel appears to be foolishness to the world. After all, we follow a Savior who wore a crown of thorns and was ridiculed in royal purple. Our old Adam desires to garner power and authority. Yet the Word is clear that Christian righteousness is not belonging to an outward form. The LORD changes our hearts to faith in Christ's righteousness no matter the outward manifestation. The declarations of the Pope (which were counter to the Word and made the assertion that one had to follow him for salvation) point to him being the Anti-Christ. Whenever one will establish godless doctrines and distract hearers from the Word of God, they have the marks of the Anti-Christ. “Lord, keep us from false doctrine and the marks of the Anti-Christ, that we may believe in the authority of Christ's cross. Amen.” Rev. Dr. Jason Lane, Associate Professor of Historical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO, joins Rev. Brady Finnern for our study of the Power and Primacy of the Pope.

Every congregation possesses the office of the keys, that is, the power to retain and forgive sins. This authority was not provided for the sake of power as the world sees it, but as a spiritual power to provide the full gifts of Christ to repentant sinners. We believe that when the called ministers of Christ deal with us by His divine command, when they forgive and retain sins, it is as certain as it would be from God Himself. We receive this Word with joyful hearts as He works through His people to provide assurance of His salvation. Rev.

This week, host Jorden Guth is joined by SoundStage! founder Doug Schneider and SoundStage! Access editor Dennis Burger to discuss the remarkable technology behind JL Audio's new fully active, DSP-optimized Primacy loudspeakers, including the three-way T6 tower and two-way T3 standmount model. Do these highly integrated speakers point toward the future of high-end audio, or are they a radical detour from traditional hi-fi thinking? Along with debating the concept itself, the group also digs into Doug's early listening impressions and what makes these speakers so different from most of today's high-end designs.

Something broke in the foundations of how we think, and the cracks have been spreading ever since through Western culture, politics, creating a fraying sense of what is real. In this live conversation recorded in Austin, Texas, we sit down with James Ellias of @Inductica to trace the damage back to its source: the moment physics abandoned explanation for mysticism and handed civilization a permission slip for unreality. We move through Kant and Newton, through positivism and quantum superstition, through the collapse of the hero and the rise of the conspiracy, searching always for the thread that leads back out.

Father teaches us why we need the Church's authority.

The testimony of Scripture and the early Church do not support the Roman Bishop's sole authority over the universal Church. Not only would it be impossible for one man to oversee every church, ordination, and doctrinal issue, but Scripture shows us that hope for the Church is founded in Christ's oversight. When interpreting Matthew 16:18, “upon this rock”, the emphasis was not on Peter, but on the Church's confession of the salvific work of Christ for the entire world. Rev.

The papacy claims that one man is above all other pastors, his authority is in both Church and state, and everyone must acknowledge his authority in the Church in order to receive salvation.  Melancthon carefully addresses each of these claims according to Scripture while acknowledging the inconsistencies found in the Church's history.  It is written by the LORD that each pastor is on equal footing, their ministry is that of service, and the Church has the authority by God's Word.  “Lord help us to live according to Your Word and confess the Truth, nothing more—nothing less. Amen.”  Rev.

In 1537, Philip Melancthon addressed the erroneous belief that the Papacy was required for salvation.  The Gospel is not dependent on a certain human bureaucracy but only on the merits of Christ. The Pope is famously referred to as the Anti-Christ, which is difficult for our modern ears to hear; however, as we believe in the Truth of God's Word, we confess to our hope being dependent on the cross and Christ's empty tomb.
