Light the Bat-Signal, friends. Scott Snyder is back on the podcast, reflecting on Batman: The Court of Owls and how it served as a massive lesson in character. Both on and off the page. Fifteen years ago, a roar rushed through every local comic book shop. Cries of blasphemy rattled over the racks and rippled atop the longboxes. DC Comics rebooted every single one of their titles with a new number one, calling it The New 52, and readers were as anxious about it as they were willing to buy every single title. It was a linewide reset, and it felt as radical as comics could get for new readers, and even gave the old heads some pause. Batman (Vol. 2) #1 arrived on September 21st, 2011. It was written by Scott Snyder, penciled by Greg Capullo, inked by Jonathan Glapion, colored by FCO Plascencia, and lettered by Richard Starkings and Jimmy Betancourt. Today it's considered a modern classic, having just gotten the Compact Comics $9.99 seal of approval. Fifteen years ago, however, it was anything but a sure thing, especially from Scott Snyder's perspective. On this hallowed Batman Day, we're deeply pleased to chat with Scott Snyder about this extreme moment in time. We discuss the panic he felt when he first got the title, the mission he set for himself, and the battle he fought to stay on target with his new partner-in-comics, Greg Capullo. Is Batman the ultimate detective? Or can he screw up royally, living decades in ignorance while the diabolical Court of Owls controls his streets? Fighting for a fallible Bruce Wayne nearly got him ripped off the book, but his passion for growth-mindset superheroes is what's rocketing Absolute Batman to the top of the bestseller charts today.

We want everyone who needs this comic to find this comic. Pig Wife astonished us both, but our first encounter with it rocked us so hard we needed weeks to process it. After that, Pig Wife took root, and we've carried the comic ever since, processing much of our daily lives through its lens. Lisa read it first, early in the year. As she turned through its pages, the temperature around her seemed to increase. The book affected her chemistry, challenged her perspective, morphing with her as she morphed around it. Brad read Pig Wifesecond, and we've talked about little else until this week, when cartoonist Abbey Luck joined us on the podcast for a comprehensive discussion. Published by Top Shelf Productions, Pig Wife recounts the tale of Mary, a young girl dragged to a remote mining town by her mother and stepdad. Living in dead aunt Pearl's house triggers a familial confrontation that sends Mary through a trapdoor, leading to an abandoned gold mine. There, she meets those who live below, and nothing will ever be the same again. We discuss Pig Wife's origins with Abbey Luck, who she initially imagined her audience to be, and how her relationship with surrealism captured a profound honesty about people. Pig Wife is a lot, and may not be for every reader, but for those who connect with it, as we did, they will mark Pig Wife as one of the year's best books, and maybe one of the best books of the twenty-first century. Pig Wife is out now in paperback. It's written by Abbey Luck with art by Luck and Ruka Bravo. Make sure you're following Luck on Instagram.

A common complaint within the comics discourse is that new books can't get past the sixth issue. Well, friends, have you been reading The Toxic Avenger over at Ahoy Comics? Cartoonist Matt Bors, along with several other artists, has been building a massive universe of stories at Ahoy, and they've radically upgraded the Troma superhero for the modern era. These are books with bite, and stories stuffed with relevance. Bors is back on the podcast this week to explore how he became the one to shape the comic book Toxie. We discuss his earliest encounter with the character in cartoons and films, and how those experiences were his first foray into the taboo and into challenging the system. We talk about maintaining the Troma spirit, making filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman proud, and creating space to tell your own damn stories. Next month, Toxie and Yvonne find themselves pregnant in the new Ahoy series, The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender. Parenthood will challenge them in ways they can not possibly imagine, especially when Toxie's evil doppelgänger makes his first comic book appearance. We've read the first two issues, and they're dynamite. Bors and artist Felipe Sobreiro deliver another essential Toxic Avenger story packed with genuine emotion and powerful pertinence. If you're looking for a universe to get lost in, you must seek it out. Before diving into our conversation with Matt Bors, we also review the new documentary, The Mad World of Harvey Kurtzman, directed by Bart Simpson (no, not that one). We connect the dots between Kurtzman and Bors, and celebrate the massive reach Mad (and so many other Kurtzman creations) has had on all of us. The Toxic Avenger vs. the Noxious Offender #1 lands in shops on October 7th, but FOC is this upcoming Monday. Call your shops if you want this book in your box. It's written by Matt Bors, illustrated by Felipe Sobreiro, colored by Lee Loughridge, and lettered by Rob Steen. Make sure you're following Bors on Instagram and BlueSky.

The only way to have a friend is to be one. Kodi by Jared Cullum perfectly encapsulates the notion. The original graphic novel, published six years ago, told the exquisite story of a lonely girl, Katya, rescuing a bear in need, Kodi, and finding connection through the act. Now, Cullum is back with a follow-up, Kodi: A Place to Call Home. It could have easily continued the cozy, warm, watercolor comfort of the original story. Instead, the new book challenges the friendship and, in doing so, celebrates what made it beautiful in the first place while showing how such connections must evolve. Kodi: A Place to Call Home is relatable, sweet, complicated, and wonderfully surprising. To put it in even simpler terms, it's one of the best graphic novels of the year. We are most pleased to have Jared Cullum on the show this week. Even more so because the artistic core from which Kodi: A Place to Call Home sprang forth is more surprising than we imagined. We chat with Cullum about his relationship with friendship, how the first book came to be, and why he felt compelled to be even more explicit about his intentions when making the second book. Both Kodi and Kodi: A Place to Call Home are now available from Top Shelf Productions. Make sure you're following Jared Cullum on Instagram and BlueSky.

There's a saying in ol' North Warlocksburg: "Still water runs deep, and deep water runs wise, and wise water knows better than to answer questions it wasn't asked." Nobody can tell you what that means. Yet it gets recited at weddings, funerals, and most minor irrigation disputes. Usually with a solemn head nod for emphasis.It's also, if you ask around, the reason our little town turns out so many wizards. Why a farmer's boy from North Warlocksburg is more likely to end up hurling fireballs than herding sheep. Why every child is taught how to dispel magic before they can take their first steps.Now come sit down by the fire. Let me tell you a story. A story you may have heard before, and you may be right, but trust me when I say my version is the correct version. You see, I was there.Long ago, long before anyone here was ever born, an evil wizard lived here. Some say his name was Balthazor the Cruel, others claim it was Galbatorixium the Flaccid. Neither are correct. It was Steve. Steve the Red. One day, after a fruitful day of kicking dogs and cursing crops, the villagers had had enough and chased poor Steve through the square with pitchforks. Steve, you have to understand, while no one could kick a dog better than he, was truly awful sprinter. Especially when it came to hurdles. I never met a hurdle that Steve wouldn't just plow straight through and donk his head. You might have noticed those blue ribbons adorning my cabin walls, and you'd be correct. I did in fact steal them from the village's number 1 runner. He begged and begged and begged for me to give them back, but by then they were rightfully mine and no one was around to disprove him. So i just laughed and laughed in his stupid ugly good at running face. Got myself a lot of strange from those ribbons alone. You can have them when I pass. You look like you could use with the ribbon help. Now where was I? Steve? Right. Dogshit at running, tripped and fell straight into the town well. Never to be seen again. Neither was his hat, which personally I think was the real tragedy.That night, so the story goes, his dark magic seed seeped into the water, all at once, forever and ever. Everyone who drank from that well was touched by it. As was their children and their children's children all the way down, right to this very day. That's why they call it Wiz Water. And that's why when we drink, we drink deep in ol' North Warlockburg. Now raise your glass and take a sip, to the wizard below and the wizard to come.- Printed on every single bottle of Wiz Water sold by Warlockburg's Brewery If you supported the Jarren's Outpost Board Game, check your emails to manage your pledge manager! Of course you can still grab a copy right here and we insist you do xx o. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

surroundings.Battle-grade enviro-suits — Reinforced enviro-suits provide greater protection during combat and chemical attacks.Clear bell hoods — Inflated transparent hoods seal around the head while allowing the wearer to see and breathe filtered air.Suit air-quality sensors — Sensors inside environmental suits warn wearers when the surrounding atmosphere is no longer breathable.Air filters — Replaceable filters remove dangerous particles, chemicals, and odors from the air entering an enviro-suit.Brazo fabric — This durable outer fabric resists punctures from bones, debris, blades, and other sharp objects.Pierce-proof clothing — Reinforced jackets and garments protect gang members from stabbing and puncture injuries.Blast-proof battle gear — Former military clothing contains protective tiles intended to reduce injuries from explosions and weapons.My-crete — This advanced concrete-like construction material forms walls, tunnels, and other structures throughout buried Detroit.C-plast — This strong synthetic material is used for tanks, structural ribs, containers, and other equipment.Sheet composite — Tough composite panels are used in doors, walls, and structural barriers.Composite security doors — Reinforced doors resist cutting tools and attempts at forced entry.Maglev tracks — Magnetic-levitation tracks once moved vehicles or cargo through underground delivery tubes.Delivery tubes — Enclosed transportation corridors carry people, vehicles, or cargo beneath the city.Ion cutters — These cutting tools use concentrated energy to slice or damage extremely durable materials.Night-vision systems — Night vision allows scavengers and machines to move through unlit tunnels and buried buildings.Multisensor vision — Advanced imaging combines several sensor types to identify objects even when smoke blocks ordinary sight.AR glasses — Augmented-reality eyewear displays messages, maps, menus, profiles, targeting information, communications, and virtual objects.AR navigation lines — An AI assistant projects a visible route through the wearer's glasses to guide them to a destination.AR combat identification — Combat software outlines allies and enemies in different colors, even through smoke and obstructions.AR command centers — Leaders use gesture-controlled overlays to view maps, personnel locations, schedules, reports, and operational goals.AR games — Players interact with projected game elements by moving their hands and bodies.Floating profile cards — Augmented-reality labels display information about nearby people, including whether they belong to Thrive.Public AR tags — A visible digital tag identifies someone as a Thrive member.Virtual keyboards — Wearers can bring up projected keyboards and enter information without carrying a physical computer.Blink controls — Eye movements allow users to select buttons and interact with an augmented-reality interface.Tongue-controlled pointers — Implants in the tongue allow a person to move a digital cursor without using their hands.Smell-and-taste VR implants — Transmitters and receivers implanted in the nose and tongue reproduce virtual smells and flavors.Headsets — Immersive headsets provide entertainment and access to virtual environments.Second Life — The surviving virtual world allows people and digital beings to meet through avatars.Virtual environments — Computer-generated spaces give emulated minds and human users simulated bodies, rooms, objects, and experiences.Encrypted streamers — These valuable portable devices or accounts contain protected digital media or information.RF storage sticks — Radio-frequency data drives store and transfer files without requiring a conventional wired connection.RF drives — Portable wireless storage devices allow blueprints, programs, and other large files to be transferred.P-clone cubes — These valuable pre-storm devices appear to contain cloning-related data or technology, although their exact function

Devin: What is your superpower?Gene: I've always felt that range is more important than depth. That's where I am.Azure Printed Homes is turning recycled plastic into faster, lower-cost housing while attacking two crises at once: housing scarcity and plastic waste. Gene Eidelman, President of Azure Printed Homes, joined me to explain how the company uses robotics and 3D printing to manufacture housing in a factory.“Azure is a platform that uses robotics and 3D printing to manufacture housing,” Gene said. “30% less expensive, 70% faster, and no waste.”That simple description understates the breadth of the impact. Azure began with backyard studios and ADUs during COVID. The company has since expanded into homes for people experiencing homelessness, affordable housing, wildfire rebuilds and soon, Gene says, multi-story apartment buildings.What I find so compelling is the way Azure's model layers benefits. The company reduces construction waste, reuses plastic that might otherwise end up in landfills or oceans and creates housing more quickly in places where people desperately need it. Gene confirmed that the company has already recycled “millions upon millions” of plastic bottles' worth of material.The work is no longer theoretical. Gene told me the company has delivered more than 150 homes across six states. Its largest project so far is a 62-unit village for people experiencing homelessness in San Luis Obispo, California. By using ground screws rather than traditional foundations, Azure fit nearly twice as many units on the site as conventional construction would have allowed.“We took a very small site, 3/4 of an acre site, and put a lot of units,” Gene said. “If it would be done traditional construction, they couldn't take more than 34 units, but we did 62.”Azure's market is broad. The same platform can support a small safe home for someone leaving homelessness, an ADU in a California backyard or a luxury rebuild in Malibu. “It's really a platform to expand what can be done quicker and less expensive,” Gene said.I'm also excited that Azure is using regulated investment crowdfunding to fuel its growth. Gene explained that the company has completed six campaigns across several platforms, building a community of more than 2,500 investors in 48 states and 20 countries. Azure is currently raising debt capital through a Honeycomb campaign, which you can find at geneeidelmanmedia.com.For impact investors who care about housing, climate and innovation, Azure's progress offers a powerful case study in how purpose-built businesses can scale solutions that matter.tl;dr:This episode explores Azure Printed Homes' mission to turn recycled plastic into faster, lower-cost housing.Gene explains how robotics and 3D printing reduce waste while expanding housing options across markets.Azure has delivered more than 150 homes, including a 62-unit homeless village in California.The company is raising growth capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding debt campaign on Honeycomb.Gene's superpower, range, helps him pivot quickly while staying focused on solving big problems.How to Develop Range As a SuperpowerGene's superpower is range. He told me, “You can acquire deep knowledge. You can hire for deep knowledge. It's the range that is necessary.” For Gene, range means staying focused on the solution while remaining open to the tools, materials, customers and business models that can get you there faster. He said entrepreneurs should “focus on the solution” while also thinking about “how other products that they might be thinking of could be used for this solution.” That perspective helped Azure move from construction to 3D printing, material science, robotics, light-gauge steel and homes on wheels.Gene saw this superpower earlier in his career while building childcare centers. A nearby hospital loved the centers but explained that its nurses could not afford them. Gene quickly reframed the problem. If the hospital funded a center on campus, there would be no rent burden and nurses could access care. That pivot created a corporate childcare business that grew to become the third largest in its niche in the country before being sold to a publicly traded company.Focus on the solution first, not the initial product or business model.Build range by continuously educating yourself across disciplines, markets and technologies.Use new tools yourself before asking your team to adopt them.Hire experts when deep technical knowledge is required.Bring team members with you to meetings so they can observe, learn and generate ideas.Listen actively to customers, partners and industry veterans before prescribing answers.Stay open to unexpected markets when customers reveal new uses for your solution.By following Gene's example and advice, you can make range a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this episode of the Stress-Free Dentist Podcast, Dr. Eric Block sits down with Michael Strohecker — co-founder and Chief Growth Officer of LuxCreo, the 3D printing company he started in his Palo Alto garage. Michael is a mechanical engineer and materials scientist by training who spent his early career at McDonnell Douglas on a NASA blended-wing program and then nearly a decade at Space Systems Loral building satellites, including work on Sirius Radio and the XM recovery effort. He has been 3D printing since 1995. When investors from Kleiner Perkins — the original backers of Invisalign — brought him in to evaluate nanotechnology and materials science coming out of Georgia Tech, he saw a real chance to solve problems in dentistry rather than build another me-too printer. The conversation centers on why hardware alone never solved anything. Accepting a "best 3D printer" award, Michael asked the organizers to delete the category — his single slide read: it takes more than a printer. LuxCreo controls the end-to-end process from materials and hardware through post-processing, CAD/CAM, and one-click print software, and every new hire, dental background or not, has to scan, design, print, and finish an aligner in under three hours. As he puts it, tinkering is a four-letter word. That obsession with repeatability is what makes direct-print aligners and retainers — LuxCreo was first to FDA clearance — practical inside a general practice rather than a science project. Michael and Dr. Block get into what this actually changes chairside: the "Goldilocks technique" of printing comfort, medium, and tight versions of a splint for about $15 total and letting the patient choose, which drives compliance and referrals; same-visit aligner starts during a hygiene appointment; partial-sale case acceptance that doesn't add another chair visit; and material with active memory that returns to shape in hot water. They also riff on Dr. Block's own concept — ROF, return on fun — which Michael now preaches to his 200-person company. He closes with advice for students and young dentists: roll up your sleeves and learn the digital workflows, because without digital you'll be stuck in the past.

Effective orthodontic collaboration depends on giving specialists a precise restorative endpoint before treatment begins. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Dr. Bill Robbins, a general dentist, educator, and co-author of Global Diagnosis, about why conventional orthodontic referrals often produce teeth that are improved but not positioned correctly for definitive restorative treatment. You will learn how pre-orthodontic and intermediate bonding create a three-dimensional blueprint, why the restorative dentist must be involved before appliances are placed, and how composite and printed restorations can make interdisciplinary treatment more efficient. To improve communication with your orthodontic team, listen to Episode 1076 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Traditional two-dimensional orthodontic prescriptions do not provide a precise restorative endpoint.Pre-orthodontic bonding makes worn teeth anatomically correct before the orthodontist moves them into position.Intermediate bonding may be necessary when a patient is already in appliances or when early bonding would create an unaesthetic appearance.The practitioner completing the final restorative treatment should be involved in treatment planning before orthodontic appliances are placed.Anatomically correct teeth improve communication with orthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons.General dentists who want to provide higher-level restorative dentistry need strong composite skills.Printed restorations may make pre-orthodontic bonding more efficient than direct composite placement.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro01:05 Dr. Bill Robbins introduces the evolution of interdisciplinary communication.03:00 Why communication with orthodontists is more complex than communication with periodontists.04:06 The limitations of two-dimensional orthodontic prescriptions.05:53 How pre-orthodontic bonding creates an anatomical blueprint.07:40 Using three-dimensional communication to simplify orthodontic treatment.09:16 When intermediate orthodontic bonding is necessary.11:31 How anatomical correction affects implant placement and crown lengthening.13:26 What general dentists commonly get wrong when referring adult orthodontic cases.14:33 Why composite is an essential skill for restorative dentists.17:54 Digital wax-ups and printed pre-orthodontic restorations.19:21 The future of pre-orthodontic bonding.20:00 Dr. Robbins previews his presentation at The Exchange.20:24 The second edition of Global Diagnosis and its expanded airway component.22:00 How to access Dr. Robbins's pre-orthodontic bonding article.25:15 Final Thanks and Wrap UpGuest Bio:Dr Bill Robbins is an acclaimed educator and author with decades of experience in restorative and interdisciplinary dentistry.

Michael Stamm delivered the 2026 Kenneth Karmiole Endowed Lecture on the History of the Book Trades, "Landscapes, Labor, and the Infrastructures of Printed Newspapers," on 8 July 2026. About the Talk: Printed newspapers have become endangered as digital distribution has transformed the news business and the ways that people access information. This talk returns to the decades in our previous century when the printed newspaper thrived as the center of the news cycle, and it highlights some of the hidden landscapes, labor, and infrastructures enabling that. Twentieth-century newspapers were not just outlets for news but were also the material products of industrial capitalism manufactured by business firms organized like those in other mass production industries. These firms drew upon natural raw materials and developed infrastructures of production and distribution gathering large and diverse human labor forces including lumberjacks, paper mill operators, and newsboys. We often think about printed texts as relationships between authors and readers, but this talk draws attention to some of the hidden materials, people, and infrastructures involved in producing and circulating printed newspapers. About the Speaker: Michael Stamm is Professor of History at Michigan State University. He received his B.A. in English from UC Berkeley in 1994 and his Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago in 2006. He has been at MSU since 2008, and he has served as Chairperson of the History Department since 2022. He is a political, cultural, and environmental historian specializing in media and journalism history. His first book, Sound Business: Newspapers, Radio, and the Politics of New Media (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011), traced how American newspapers have responded to competition from “new media,” which in the decades after 1920 meant radio broadcasting. His most recent book is Dead Tree Media: Manufacturing the Newspaper in Twentieth-Century North America (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018), which offers a history of the printed newspaper tracing its production from the forest to the reader. In 2019, the book received Canadian Business History Association's Best Book Prize. He is currently completing a book entitled Communicating with Nature: Agriculture, Materiality, and the Industrial Information Age, which traces the use of farm crops in the manufacturing of paper and ink and in the circulation of public information.

With Shelton's degree in history, Richards' experience as an army brat turned Air Force enlistee, and their combined skills at both slapstick and satire, they crafted "A Revised History Of The American Revolution," combining high strategic points with the perspective of regular grunts and citizens.Give Me Liberty! was originally serialized in alternative newspapers through 1975-76 and now, for only the second time in 250 years, Fantagraphics Underground brings this lost classic back to print.

You can send a text, include contact info to get a response. A miner's son, decided one day, to nail 95 thesis to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg in the year of our lord 1517.  It seems unlikely he intended to split his church, the Catholic, universal church, into a bewildering multiplicity of new religions and sects.And yet, trained in the Devotio Moderna's way of taking action and responsibility, for his own salvation, he ran into problems.  What Luther did with the 95 theses, or 95 propositions if you prefer, was a common garden variety way of opening an argument and inviting the university to participate.  Some even say the nailing to the door part is just dramatic enhancement, never happened, he just circulated some hand written stuff around campus, in the conventional way.  This episode is about dramatic enhancement, so anyway.   Well he had copies made and sent them around to friends, who apparently copied them some more and sent them around some  more until “Soon, Luther had the uneasy surprise of receiving them back from Southern Germany, PRINTED.”

Two brands doing $46 billion in revenue combined spent millions of marketing dollars insulting the exact people responsible for the majority of that revenue. Five other brands made their buyers feel so seen that their comment sections looked nothing like comment sections for products — they looked like communities. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah breaks down the Q2 marketing campaigns that got it right and the ones that got it catastrophically wrong — and what every founder needs to take from both. Here's what this episode covers: • The difference between marketing to a demographic and marketing to a lived experience — and why one prints money while the other gets ignored • The alienation tax — what happens when you focus on one segment of your audience and accidentally insult the other 90% • Why Nike's Boston Marathon campaign was a marketing disaster hiding behind good engagement numbers • Why selling the mission, the outcome and the conversation creates cult-like brand obsession — and selling the product only creates a one-time purchase Apply to work with Savannah HERE: http://bit.ly/applywlfpodcast or DM her on Instagram @itssavannahjordan ( / itssavannahjordan ) with your takeaway.

Why This Church Keeps Growing Year After Year | Kai Foster Why do some churches steadily grow while others plateau? In this insightful interview from the Healthy Church Growth Conference in Boston, Rob Skinner sits down with Kai Foster, who leads the growing church in Reno, Nevada alongside his wife BJ. Over the past decade, the Reno church has experienced consistent growth — nearly doubling in size. In this conversation, Kai shares several practical and spiritual principles that have helped create a culture of connection, unity, and spiritual depth within the church. One of the biggest keys? Intentional fellowship. Kai explains how creating structured time for meaningful conversations during worship services and midweek meetings has helped disciples build authentic relationships that go beyond surface-level interactions. He also shares why his church still uses printed sermon outlines and devotionals every week — and why "ink and paper still have power" in a world dominated by screens. This episode is filled with practical ideas for: Building stronger church community Increasing unity and connection Creating spiritually engaging church environments Helping people feel known and connected Encouraging deeper conversations Supporting long-term church growth Whether you lead a church, small group, ministry, or simply want stronger Christian community, this conversation is packed with wisdom and encouragement. Key Takeaways Church growth often begins with deeper connection Intentional fellowship creates stronger disciples Structured conversations build unity Printed spiritual content increases retention and engagement Healthy churches create environments where people feel known Fellowship must go beyond surface-level interactions Memorable Quotes "Connectivity is the greatest challenge for suburban Christians." "Ink and paper still have power." "You can't obey the second greatest command if you're not connected." "People are accustomed to deeper conversations." Topics Covered Church growth Christian fellowship Leadership development Healthy church culture Midweek ministry Discipleship Spiritual community Church connection Faith and retention Reno church growth

Trump, China, and the Petrodollar: The Quiet Financial Ambush Nobody Saw ComingI marvel at the genius of Donald Trump, and yes, I'm fully aware that saying this publicly causes certain people to react like Victorian women spotting an exposed ankle.“We get it, Kevin. You like Trump.”Correct.And while the NeverTrump crowd continues fantasizing that I spend my evenings in a sequined MAGA marching-band uniform twirling pom-poms to Lee Greenwood songs, admiration becomes unavoidable when you watch a man repeatedly turn global power structures into IKEA furniture assembled without instructions, yet somehow sturdier than before.Because what Trump is doing with Venezuela, Iran, and China isn't random. It isn't improvisation. It isn't “orange-man chaos.”It's leverage.And the frightening part for Democrats is this: they still think politics operates entirely inside press conferences, polling data, and emotionally manipulative TikTok videos featuring women crying in parked Subarus.Trump understands something far older and far more brutal.Civilizations run on energy. Empires run on currency. And the nation controlling both gets to write history in ink while everybody else scribbles in pencil.For years China believed America had grown too decadent, too distracted, and too apologetic to defend the dollar's dominance. Beijing watched Democrats transform the United States into a country increasingly governed by HR departments, pharmaceutical jingles, and people who put pronouns in email signatures longer than the emails themselves.China saw weakness.Frankly, who wouldn't?Under Obama and Biden, America projected the economic confidence of a mall kiosk selling phone cases in its final week before bankruptcy. We apologized for our power. Restricted our own energy production. Printed money like game-show contestants trapped in a cash tornado. Meanwhile China quietly built influence across Africa, South America, and the Middle East.Their goal was obvious: dethrone the dollar.Not with tanks. Not with bombs. With oil contracts.That's the key Americans miss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
