Podcasts about Pritchett

Naptown Blues Fancast covers the full swing of emotions that is USL2 football. Wednesday brought East Coast semifinalists Lionsbridge to NMCMS, and the result — a 2-0 defeat — was hard to argue with. The Blues controlled possession and put up 6 shots, but none of them truly tested the keeper, and a quickly taken short corner early in the second half effectively ended the contest. Sam and Hiram don't sugarcoat it. We also get to know a couple of new faces: Brazilian newcomer Enzo DeAlmedia and substitute Ollie Snowden, one of the few bright spots on the night. Saturday was a different story entirely. PFA came to town and the Blues were ready — scoring inside three minutes through Rich Monath, surviving a lightning delay, and then absolutely running riot for a 7-0 final. Penalty goal from captain Tyler Gabara. A cheeky chip from Roshawn Panton. Two rockets from substitute Caleb Pritchett. And a hat trick to close it out for Rich Monath. Crabtown Blues showed up loud for a wings-and-hair-metal tailgate and never let up. Post-match audio from Gabara, Pritchett, and Monath included. Sam also previews the playoff picture and the road ahead — Wednesday at Loudon, then Christos the following Monday.

James 3 reveals the immense power of our words and the challenge of controlling them. While small things like bits and rudders can control horses and ships, our tongues remain difficult to tame because they reflect our heart condition. The same mouth that blesses God often curses people made in His image, revealing a deeper spiritual problem. True change comes not from trying harder to control our speech, but from allowing God to transform our hearts. When our hearts are aligned with godly wisdom - which is pure, peaceable, and gentle - our words will naturally follow suit and become instruments of peace rather than destruction.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

It's 1990. A young staff economist walks into a director's office at the World Bank and says the number he's about to publish is "crazy". The director tells him not to worry about it. The number was the dollar-a-day poverty line. Lant Pritchett, now of LSE, was that economist. More than three decades later, he's still worrying about it. In this week's episode he argues that the dollar-a-day line warped how the world thinks about poverty, by setting the bar so low that we can count billions of deprived people as not poor.In a new paper, co-authored with Martina Viarengo (Graduate Institute, Geneva), their fix isn't to scrap the low line. It's to add a high one as well. They propose a global upper-bound poverty line of $21.50 a day, ten times the extreme-poverty standard, derived from four separate measures of material wellbeing.Above it, you're no longer poor by any reasonable global standard. Below it, you're poor in a sense worth measuring. By that standard, 99% of Pakistan is poor, and almost no one in Denmark is. Should that affect how we think about anti-poverty policy? The research behind this episode:Pritchett, Lant, and Martina Viarengo. Forthcoming. "Raising the Bar: An Inclusive Global Poverty Line." Journal of Development Economics. Available now as a working paper.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Lant Pritchett. 2026. "What the $1-a-day global poverty line gets wrong."

The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestLant Pritchett is a development economist and Visiting Professor at the School of Public Policy at the London School of Economics. He worked at the World Bank from 1988 to 2007 and taught at the Harvard Kennedy School for nearly two decades. His work spans economic growth, state capability, education systems, and labour mobility.The paper is co-authored with Martina Viarengo, Professor of International Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute. Her research spans public policy, labour markets, comparative education, and international migration.Research cited in this episodeThe dollar-a-day poverty line. Created for the World Bank's 1990 World Development Report on poverty and based on the observation that national poverty lines in the poorest countries clustered at a low floor (Ravallion, Datt and van de Walle 1991). Updated for inflation, it now sits at P$2.15 a day in 2017 purchasing power parity. It was only ever meant to mark the lowest a global poverty line could plausibly be, not the line.The focus axiom. A standard property of poverty measures, originating with Amartya Sen (1976), under which changes in the income of anyone above the poverty line do not register in the measure. Pritchett's objection is that this assigns mathematically zero weight to the near-poor; a household just above the line counts the same as a Danish millionaire, namely zero. He calls it an economic bug that became a political feature, because it takes global redistribution off the table.Gresham's law applied to poverty. Pritchett's framing for how the simple headcount displaced richer, distribution-sensitive approaches; bad economics drove out better economics because it was easier to understand. He notes the World Bank of the 1970s was preoccupied with distribution, citing Hollis Chenery and Montek Ahluwalia's Redistribution with Growth (1974), so the idea that economists ignored distribution until poverty measurement arrived is a myth.The two criteria for an upper bound. The proposed line rests on two ideas drawn from the tension between the focus axiom and standard welfare economics. One, material wellbeing achievement; the line sits where a household reaches a standard of living a rich-country citizen would recognise as adequate. Two, near enough satiation; the line sits where the extra wellbeing from another dollar has fallen so low that treating further gains as zero does little violence to reality. At twenty-one and a half dollars the marginal utility of income is roughly three percent of its value at the dollar-a-day line; at the World Bank's current high line of P$6.85 it is still around thirty percent.Four measures of wellbeing. The number is triangulated across an iso-elastic utility function, food shares in consumption (Engel's Law), a household index of six basic conditions drawn from Demographic and Health Survey data, and a cross-national index of basics. The estimates cluster between twenty and forty dollars a day; twenty-one and a half was chosen because it is exactly ten times the dollar-a-day line, a focal point in the same way one dollar was.The six minimal conditions of prosperity. Electricity, improved sanitation, safe water, primary schooling completed by older children, no child dying under five, and no young child malnourished. The test Pritchett applies is whether it would be absurd to call a household prosperous while it lacks one of them.The rich of the poor and the poor of the rich. The tenth percentile in Denmark has higher consumption than the ninetieth percentile in Pakistan or Indonesia. This is why any global line that produces meaningful poverty in rich countries implies poverty rates near one hundred percent across most of the developing world; a point Dani Rodrik (2007) showed is widely misunderstood.The prosperity gap. A distribution-sensitive welfare measure adopted by the World Bank (Kraay et al. 2025) that weights the whole income distribution rather than counting everyone above a threshold as zero. Pritchett offers it, alongside poverty-gap and squared-poverty-gap measures at a higher line, as the practical route to acting on a global upper bound without reducing everything to a single headcount.More VoxDev Talks episodesRethinking evidence and refocusing on growth in development economics, Lant Pritchett on what the problem might be if we rely exclusively on rigorous evidence in development economics as a guide for policy.Rethinking how we measure extreme poverty, Charles Kenny asks: is it time for a new measure of extreme poverty?

Building healthy biblical friendships requires understanding that truth comes from God's Word, not personal opinion or cultural norms. While we should love everyone, not everyone deserves access to our inner circle. True friendship means being friendly first and loving others unconditionally, even when they have nothing to offer. We must guard our hearts by setting wise boundaries, as our closest relationships directly impact our spiritual growth and future direction. The people we surround ourselves with either make us wiser or lead us toward destruction, so we need discernment to choose companions who draw us closer to Christ rather than away from Him.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Life often brings unexpected storms that can leave us feeling shipwrecked and broken. The Apostle Paul experienced this when his ship was destroyed during a violent storm while he was following God's will. Sometimes we face difficulties because of our own poor choices, sometimes because of others' actions, and sometimes because God allows storms for His greater purposes. When everything falls apart, we must grab hold of something that will sustain us - Jesus Christ and His Word. Even in our darkest moments, God provides help through unexpected sources and uses our storms to position us for ministry to others who are struggling.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you were enlisted into God's army and engaged in spiritual warfare. As a good soldier of Christ, you must focus on your Commander in Chief rather than seeking universal approval from people. Prepare for battle by putting on the full armor of God daily, including truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and God's Word. Learn to endure hardship by choosing commitment over comfort and faith over fear. Stop blaming the devil for things your flesh is choosing and take responsibility for your spiritual condition. Remember that you are a new creation in Christ, and you have the power to defeat the enemy through Jesus.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

James 2 challenges believers to examine whether their faith is genuine by looking at their actions. Written by Jesus' half-brother to persecuted early Christians, this passage addresses the problem of showing favoritism based on wealth or appearance. James argues that true faith naturally produces good works - not to earn salvation, but to demonstrate it. He uses examples like Abraham and Rahab to show how authentic faith requires action, not just intellectual belief. Even demons believe in God, but their belief doesn't save them. James concludes that faith without works is like a body without spirit - dead and lifeless.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The fear of the Lord appears over 150 times in Scripture yet remains largely unexplored in many churches today. This biblical concept isn't about cowering in terror, but rather developing a healthy reverence and awe for God that combines respect for His power with deep love and trust. According to Proverbs 9:10, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the foundation for all spiritual growth. This reverence transforms our lives by providing the right perspective, leading to godliness, unlocking future blessings, offering true refuge, and bringing sweet peace that surpasses understanding.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Every mother has the potential to be a wonder woman in God's eyes. Drawing from the biblical example of Timothy's mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, this message explores seven key characteristics of godly motherhood. These include deep devotion to God, disciplined prayer and Bible study, intentional discipleship of children, integrity, modeling forgiveness and grace, seeking grace over perfection, and total dependence on the Lord. The greatest legacy a mother can leave isn't material wealth, but genuine faith that sustains children through life's challenges and prepares them for eternity.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

James chapter 1 reveals the crucial difference between trials and temptations in our faith journey. Trials are God's tests designed to mature our faith and develop patience, while temptations come from Satan to destroy us. When facing difficulties, we need wisdom from God, which He gives liberally to those who ask in faith without doubting. The progression of temptation follows a pattern: lust leads to sin, which brings death. We must be careful about what we entertain in our lives, as whatever we allow in through entertainment, relationships, and habits can lead us down a dangerous path. True faith requires being doers of God's word, not just hearers, and practicing pure religion by caring for orphans and widows while keeping ourselves unspotted from the world.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The Book of James, written by Jesus' half-brother who transformed from skeptic to believer after the resurrection, offers practical guidance for authentic Christian living. James addresses the relationship between faith and works, explaining that genuine faith naturally produces good works - not to earn salvation, but as evidence of it. The letter teaches believers how to pray with unwavering faith, respond properly to sin with a broken heart rather than indifference, and view trials as opportunities for spiritual growth. James emphasizes that mature faith isn't just about believing the right things, but living them out in observable ways that demonstrate the reality of our relationship with God.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

We are joined by Ian Pritchett of Greencore Homes to talk about his science-based approach to green building and the work that has led him from developing green building materials becoming the co-founder of a vertically-integrated developer and house builder.There's a lot of history and legacy to cover because Ian has been in the green building game for decades and it's this that has informed the approach being taken right now.Greencore is also challenging the Passive House Institute about the accuracy of its PHPP (passive house planning package) modelling software because their homes outperform the model's predictions because of their use of phase-change materials.Be warned, this is nerd business—Jeff gets to interrogate the build up specification—but it doesn't get too technical to be able to follow the thread.Notes from the showThe Greencore Homes website Ian Pritchett on LinkedIn A PH+ article about Neil May**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**   

Christian parents today face the challenge of raising children with biblical values in a morally relativistic world. Using the metaphor of arrows in a warrior's hand from Psalm 127, effective parenting involves three essential stages: establishing clear vision and purpose, providing proper motivation and discipline, and eventually releasing well-prepared children into the world. The primary goal isn't worldly success but fostering hearts that love and fear God. Parents must be intentional about modeling authentic faith, teaching biblical truth, and preparing their children for a culture that opposes Christian values. Without clear direction and purposeful discipleship at home, children become defenseless against secular worldviews that will inevitably shape their thinking.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The resurrection power of Jesus transforms not just our eternal destiny, but our present reality. Through the story of Jesus healing a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, we learn that God wants us to stretch out what we consider our greatest weakness so His strength can be manifested. Faith without works is dead, and we're called to activate our faith by using what God has given us - our spiritual gifts, abilities, personality, and even our struggles. Sometimes God delivers us through trials rather than out of them, meeting us in our difficulties like He met Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace. Our perceived limitations can become platforms for God's power when we make ourselves available to Him.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Scripture reveals that believers will face the Judgment Seat of Christ, also called the Bema Seat, which is different from the Great White Throne Judgment for unbelievers. This evaluation focuses on our motives and faithful service rather than determining salvation. God will examine whether our works were done for His glory or personal recognition, testing them like fire tests gold versus wood and hay. Five heavenly crowns await faithful believers: the Imperishable Crown for endurance, the Crown of Rejoicing for maintaining joy, the Crown of Righteousness for eagerly anticipating Christ's return, the Crown of Glory for faithful leadership, and the Crown of Life for enduring persecution. These crowns represent our eternal inheritance that we will ultimately present back to Jesus at the marriage supper of the Lamb.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

True discipleship begins when we stretch forth our weaknesses to God, just as the man with the withered hand did in Matthew 12. God uses our limitations rather than our strengths because when He works through our weaknesses, only He receives glory. Taking up our cross daily means denying ourselves completely, not just practicing self-denial. This requires surrendering control of our lives to Christ and understanding that our struggles have purpose in God's economy. Even when we can't see God in our darkest moments, He stands guard over our lives, developing our faith through trials.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Death is an inevitable reality, but for believers in Jesus Christ, it's simply a transition to eternal life. The resurrection of Jesus proves He is who He claimed to be, has the power He claimed to have, and did what He promised to do. This victory over death means our past can be forgiven, our present problems cannot overtake us, and our future is secure. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in believers today, enabling us to overcome through His blood and our testimony. We are called to live with urgency, sharing the gospel and standing firm in God's promises rather than being defeated by circumstances.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Palm Sunday reminds us how quickly people turned from shouting "Hosanna!" to "Crucify him!" when Jesus didn't meet their expectations. Today, we often do the same - creating our own image of how Jesus should work in our lives. When breakthrough seems impossible despite our prayers, the issue might not be God's faithfulness but our willingness to leverage spiritual disciplines. Jesus told His disciples they couldn't cast out a demon because of their unbelief, explaining that some breakthroughs require prayer and fasting. Biblical fasting - abstaining from food while focusing on prayer - helps us hear God's voice, demonstrates humility, and confronts unbelief by weakening our flesh while strengthening our spirit.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The Book of Ruth teaches profound lessons about patience and faith during uncertain times. When Ruth asked Boaz to take her under his wing, she was seeking divine protection and covering, similar to the healing power found in the tassels of ancient prayer shawls. Naomi's advice to sit still wasn't about inactivity, but about trusting God's timing over our own urgency. The story demonstrates that we cannot worry and worship simultaneously - anxiety focuses on ourselves while worship redirects our attention to God's character. Ruth's background as a despised Moabite shows how God brings forth redemption from broken beginnings, ultimately placing her in the lineage of Christ.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

It's time for believers to mature beyond surface-level Christianity and embrace authentic faith. Many Christians wear the label without living the life, treating church as entertainment rather than equipping. True faith involves obedience, transformation, and walking as Christ walked. The church's purpose is to equip saints for ministry, not just provide religious services. We must move from consumer Christianity to active participation, from inviting people to church to personally bringing them. Christ calls lukewarm believers to buy gold purified by fire, white garments of righteousness, and eye ointment for spiritual insight. Stop playing church and start being the church.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church! For more information please visit us online at http://www.northridgethomaston.com.

God's standard for humanity is perfection, as stated in Matthew 5:48, yet Romans 3:23 reminds us that all have fallen short of His glory. This creates an impossible situation that only grace can resolve. Through Ephesians 2:8-9, we learn that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works. The story of the woman caught in adultery perfectly illustrates how Jesus balances grace and truth - He offers forgiveness without condemnation while calling us to leave sin behind. Grace is not a license to continue sinning but the power to break free from sin's slavery and walk in transformation.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Ruth's story reveals powerful truths about finding security in God's covering and the courage to step into His purposes. The concept of the kinsman redeemer, fulfilled by Boaz, beautifully pictures Christ as our ultimate redeemer who had the power, love, and sacrifice necessary to buy back our spiritual birthright. Ruth's bold faith demonstrates that God's favor can rest on anyone, regardless of background or circumstances. The threshing floor represents a place of separation where the Holy Spirit tests what is genuine from what is superficial in our faith. Ruth's request for Boaz to spread his covering over her points to the spiritual covering we receive through Christ's atonement.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Prayer serves as our spiritual plumb line, keeping our lives aligned with God's will just as a carpenter's tool ensures proper construction. The Lord's Prayer provides a perfect framework for effective communication with God, beginning with worship and reverence rather than immediately presenting our requests. This model emphasizes our relationship with the Father, submission to His kingdom, daily dependence on His provision, and the crucial connection between receiving and extending forgiveness. Many believers struggle with prayer because they treat it as a monologue instead of a dialogue with God. Developing a disciplined prayer life requires moving beyond motivation to consistent practice, creating space to both speak and listen to God.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The story of Ruth and Boaz reveals profound truths about God's favor and redemption. When Ruth, a Moabite widow, humbly asks to glean in Boaz's fields, she encounters extraordinary kindness that goes far beyond legal requirements. Boaz, whose name means strength, represents our kinsman redeemer and demonstrates how God's favor can transform circumstances from emptiness to fullness. Ruth's faithfulness and humility opened doors to blessing, while her willingness to share those blessings with Naomi shows the heart of true gratitude. This beautiful Old Testament picture reminds us that God can take anyone from outsider to insider, giving us beauty for ashes through His incredible grace.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Travis Pritchett, CEO of HMC, to unpack his unconventional path into alternatives and the evolution of a middle-market investment firm navigating a rapidly changing private markets landscape. From a biology major and fly-fishing enthusiast to leading an $8 billion global real assets platform, Travis shares the inflection points that shaped his career and the strategic decisions that have defined HMC's growth. The conversation spans power generation, European value-add real estate, and the modernization of luxury senior housing, all framed by a focus on asset-level execution and long-term mega trends. They discuss: How Travis transitioned from banking and fly fishing into real estate private equity and ultimately into HMC's CEO role The origins of HMC's power generation strategy and how the firm is capitalizing on AI and data center demand without taking data center risk The evolution of the middle-market value add model and why specialization is becoming a competitive necessity The shift toward luxury, high-amenity senior housing and the demographic forces reshaping the sector Why Europe may present a multi-year opportunity given rebased valuations, capital flows, and competitive dynamics Links: HMC - https://www.harbert.net/ Travis on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/travis-pritchett-1343264/ Brandon on LinkedIn - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bsedloff/⁠ Juniper Square - ⁠https://www.junipersquare.com/⁠ Topics: (00:00:00) - Intro (00:02:24) - Travis' background and early career (00:17:37) - Staying 20 years through growth (00:20:45) - HMC today (00:22:55) - Shared services tradeoffs and costs (00:27:27) - AI tailwinds and new competition (00:28:27) - Power investing 201 (00:29:44) - Gas vs renewables cycle (00:31:09) - Where power capital comes from (00:33:31) - Data centers without DC risk (00:36:33) - Value add platform evolution (00:40:07) - US vs Europe opportunity (00:43:54) - Seniors housing strategy shift (00:47:31) - Luxury senior living today (00:52:01) - Generalist versus specialist (00:55:09) - Reimagining with megatrends (00:57:48) - Closing and wrap up

Two major demonic spirits threaten believers today: the spirit of harlotry and the spirit of antichrist. The spirit of harlotry represents spiritual adultery, manifesting when anything competes with our devotion to God, including idolatry, mixing truth with worldly philosophy, and ungodly soul ties from past relationships. The spirit of antichrist denies Jesus Christ's full deity and operates through false teachings. Other dangerous spirits include Leviathan (pride), Jezebel (manipulation and control), vanity (seeking man's approval over God's), and religious spirits that emphasize legalism over grace. Breaking free requires immediate action: cast out demonic influences, take ownership of your spiritual state, break ungodly soul ties, and recommit fully to Christ. Victory is possible through the Holy Spirit's power within believers.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church! For more information please visit us online at http://www.northridgethomaston.com.

The Book of Ruth reveals God's faithfulness during life's bitter seasons. When famine struck Bethlehem, Elimelech's family fled to Moab, where tragedy left three widows facing destitution. While Naomi blamed God for her circumstances, calling herself Mara (bitter) instead of Naomi (pleasant), God was orchestrating redemption behind the scenes. Ruth's loyalty to Naomi and faith in Israel's God positioned her in Christ's lineage, showing how God uses even despised outsiders in His redemptive plan. Our spiritual famines often result from following our own hearts instead of God's Word, but He remains faithful even when we can't see His hand working.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The Book of Ruth reveals profound truths about waiting on God's timing and the power of pleasant character. Set during a famine in Bethlehem, Naomi's authentic faith drew her daughters-in-law to want to follow her God, even when she had nothing material to offer. Her example shows how genuine believers can attract others to faith through their character rather than correction. The story teaches that biblical waiting isn't passive but involves active service and growth. Like eagles learning to fly when pushed from comfortable nests, God sometimes disturbs our comfort to move us toward His greater purposes. True rest comes from trusting God's timing and following His design for relationships.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Physical ailments sometimes go beyond medical issues and enter the realm of spiritual warfare. The spirit of infirmity is a demonic force that can attack our bodies and well-being, often manifesting when sickness begins to define us rather than just being something we deal with. While God still heals today through various means - instantly, progressively, through medicine, or by giving grace to endure - physical healing isn't guaranteed the same way salvation is. We must take authority in Christ against spiritual attacks while trusting God's goodness whether healing comes as expected or not.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Life can feel overwhelming when weighed down by grief, rejection, and unforgiveness, but these feelings often stem from spiritual warfare rather than just natural emotions. Satan uses fallen angels to attack believers, gaining access through our negative words, unforgiveness, and unprocessed grief. The spirit of heaviness manifests as excessive mourning, overwhelming grief, and constant spiritual oppression. However, God provides the antidote through Isaiah 61:3 - beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for heaviness. The key to breaking free lies in forgiveness, which doesn't mean forgetting or excusing behavior, but releasing the debt and freeing yourself from carrying that weight. When we choose to forgive and put on praise instead of worry, we can experience God's freedom from spiritual heaviness.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Angels are created spiritual beings who serve as God's messengers, with a clear hierarchy led by the archangel Michael. While they can take physical form, they remain spirit beings who do God's bidding. Demons are fallen angels who rebelled with Satan, retaining their spiritual nature but now serving evil purposes. Christians cannot be possessed by demons due to the Holy Spirit's presence, but can experience oppression through external attacks. Rather than becoming fixated on spiritual warfare, believers should focus on Christ while being discerning about what influences they allow into their lives. Our daily choices determine whether we walk in victory or struggle under unnecessary spiritual oppression.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

In spiritual warfare, the enemy's primary weapon is deception through lying spirits that mix truth with small amounts of lies. These spirits manifest through false prophecy, superstitions, and accusative attitudes, often gaining access through fear and pride. Many mental health struggles stem from believing lies about ourselves or God's character. Victory comes through seeking truth in God's Word, actively taking thoughts captive, and practicing repentance and accountability. We must replace lies with Scripture and stop giving others power over our emotions.

Lucinda discusses the critical importance of employee communication with Sally Pritchett, CEO of Something Big, a creative communications agency.  Sally shares her insights on the evolving landscape of workplace communication, the challenges of information overload and the changing expectations of employees who seek transparency and authenticity from their leaders. They also explore the significance of trust in organisations, the need for two-way dialogue rather than one-sided communication, and the role of HR in fostering a culture of engagement KEY TAKEAWAYS Effective employee communication is crucial in today's workplace, where employees expect to be engaged and informed about the organisation's purpose and values, rather than just being told what to do. Transparency and authenticity in communication are essential for fostering trust between leaders and employees. Leaders should acknowledge uncertainties and focus on the organisation's core values to provide stability during challenging times. Organisations should prioritise genuine conversations over monologue-style communication. Engaging employees in dialogue can lead to better understanding and collaboration, rather than simply broadcasting messages. The choice of language in communication can significantly impact employee perception. Using inclusive and relatable language helps employees feel acknowledged and valued, while jargon or corporate speak can create disconnect and distrust. BEST MOMENTS "We need to bring people on the journey. They don't just come because we gave them a job and we're paying them at the end of the month." "I think the best thing [leaders] can do is to say, we don't have a crystal ball. We don't have the answers to what the future looks like." "If you keep telling your kids to stop bickering, what you get is more bickering. Look at what is the main conversation going on in your business." "Treating employees like adults is an absolute must, in my opinion. I think that's often where we fail."

Paul's final words in Romans 16 provide essential guidance for church unity and spiritual victory. He warns believers to identify and avoid divisive people who serve their own interests rather than Christ, using smooth words to promote unbiblical doctrines. True spiritual warfare isn't about what Satan does to us, but what we allow him to do through our choices. Jesus already crushed Satan at the cross, and we experience this victory when we accept Christ. The key to spiritual growth isn't getting more of God, but surrendering more of ourselves to Him.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

Angels are created spirit beings who serve as God's messengers, not humans who earned their wings. Created by Jesus according to Colossians 1:16, they can take physical form to accomplish God's purposes, which explains how we might entertain angels unaware. While some angels fell with Satan and became demons, good angels continue to worship God and minister to believers. Understanding angels helps us recognize the spiritual warfare around us and challenges us to treat every person with Christ-like love, as they could be angels in disguise.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

The new book The London Consensus is a large and very comprehensive successor to the Washington Consensus that dominated policymaking during the 1990s. It attempts to capture where the Washington consensus fell short, and suggest better policy for development.One area in which we need better policy is basic education. Despite the success of programmes to build and equip schools, outcomes are not improving. Pritchett's chapter in The London Consensus examines the learning crisis and suggests what policy can do about it. He tells Tim Phillips that there are no short cuts – but examples from around the world show that solutions are possible.

The heck with your thinking. Let's say your thinking is what it is, and it's riddled with doubt. You still get to choose how you behave." - Price PritchettPrice Pritchett asks the question that stops most people in their tracks: when you're ravaged with doubt, how do you act like success is certain? His answer flips everything you thought you knew about confidence. You don't wait for your thinking to change. You choose how you behave despite what's happening in your head. He calls it managing your remembering, this practice of deciding which memories get your attention. You can pull up every embarrassment, every humiliation, every time you dropped the ball. Or you can pull up the times you surprised yourself, the moments you did it right, and the wins that proved you had what it takes. We all have two voices competing for airtime inside our heads. The hero voice focuses on your strengths and accomplishments. And the villain voice, the con artist that pretends to protect you while actually keeping you small. That villain voice sounds so reasonable, so concerned. But Pritchett exposes it for what it really is: the critic that raises doubts and focuses on your weak points.Here's where it gets fascinating. Most people think the answer is more positive thinking. But research shows something different. Less negative thinking is where the real power lives. And the kicker? About 70% of your negative thinking goes completely unperceived. It's so embedded in how you move through the world that you don't even notice it operating. Pritchett explains that positive and negative thinking aren't opposite ends of one scale. They're two separate scales entirely. Which means you can keep positive thinking high while systematically cutting down the negative thoughts that sabotage you. It takes practice. It takes discipline to catch that villain voice and shut it up. But every time you choose which internal coach gets the microphone, every time you manage what you remember, and every time you act despite the doubt, you're training yourself in a different way of being. Because the coach closest to you isn't out there somewhere. It's the voice inside your head, and you decide who's talking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of the Redacted History Podcast we take a deep dive into the history and importance of Unions in the United States of America. What is a Union? What do Americans think? What does our government think? How are worker's rights being protected? I sat down with Rashaad Pritchett, a housekeeping aide at Kaiser Richmond in Richmond, California. Rashaad is also a member of SEIU-UHW, a healthcare union comprised of over 120,000 workers who led the largest healthcare workers strike in United States history in October 2023. We discussed his involvement with his union and how it changed his life and how that led to him being on the front lines of a strike that placed immense pressure on the state of California and set precedent for workers nationwide.
