Send us a text In this powerful study, we learn that those who are wicked live in fear and paranoia, while those who are righteous are bold and confident. We are encouraged to show wisdom, justice, and integrity in all that we do. We see things such as greed, hypocrisy, and oppression condemned soundly in this chapter. True prosperity comes from honesty, generosity, and the fear of God. Those who cover their sins will not prosper, but the ones who are willing to confess their sins will find mercy. We invite you to come study God's Word with us today!

If you've been feeling a quiet nudge that your prices need to change - I've got a juicy bonus episode for you to dive into. Honestly, there's never a perfect time to raise your prices, but there are plenty of good reasons. And if you're feeling that inner “this isn't sustainable anymore” feeling… it's worth listening to. In this new Chill & Prosper ep, I'm talking about pricing - not just from a strategy perspective, but from an energetic and mindset one too.

Why is China clearing out its generals? Can the Conservatives win back the centre? And what's gone wrong with Britain's hearing aids?

Is centrism back? This week a group of former Tory heavyweights – including Ruth Davidson, Andy Street, Amber Rudd and David Gauke – have launched a new group aimed at reclaiming the centre ground and dispelling the myth that politics in 2026 is a straight shooting match between increasingly diffuse left/right poles. They say that there are seven million voters in the centre who feel ‘politically homeless' and are looking for serious people to have serious conversations, rather than rabble-rousers with strong rhetoric. Are they totally misunderstanding the direction of modern politics? And should they all just join the Lib Dems?Tim Shipman speaks to David Gauke, former justice secretary and vice-chair of Prosper UK.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

January can come with a lot of pressure to feel motivated, inspired, and ready to conquer the year. And sometimes… that energy just isn't there. In this week's Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about how to keep the New Year energy going all year - because your motivation will dip, and that's completely normal.

We talk a lot about opportunity in America—but far less about where opportunity actually exists and why.Why do some states consistently help people climb the economic ladder while others trap families in place for generations? Why do well-intended policies often backfire? And why is “doing more” by the government so often the wrong answer when it comes to social mobility?That's exactly what we unpack in Episode 186 of the Let People Prosper Show with Dr. Justin Callais, Chief Economist at the Archbridge Institute and lead author of the new Social Mobility in the 50 States (2025) report.Justin brings data, clarity, and—refreshingly—humility to one of the most politicized topics in economics. The findings challenge both the left's obsession with redistribution and the right's tendency to overlook the very real policy barriers that states create.Watch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify, Substack for show notes at vanceginn.substack.com, and visit my website at vanceginn.com for more information about my work at Ginn Economic Consulting.

Bobbi welcomes Aaron Rodgers from ProsperU, diving into his journey in the beauty industry. Aaron shares his unexpected path from studying accounting to discovering his passion for beauty through a chance visit to the Eric Fisher Academy. He emphasizes the importance of following one's gut feelings and being open to new opportunities, which ultimately led him to a fulfilling career in beauty. The conversation highlights how Prosper U aims to provide business and financial literacy to beauty professionals, ensuring they have the tools to succeed in their careers.   Takeaways "Don't ever say no to those little interactions." "I was just so ready for something other than college." "You never stop learning in this industry." "If you ever feel like you learn everything about your business, it's the time to quit." "Keep as many notes as you can." Education is about validating existing knowledge, not just acquiring new information. Reflection is crucial for real learning to occur. Setting small goals allows for celebration and recognition of progress. Encouraging students to ask 'why' fosters a deeper understanding. High standards in education lead to better outcomes for students.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Aaron's Background 02:11 Discovering the Beauty Industry 11:19 What is Prosper U? 14:48 The Importance of Business Education 27:58 Meeting of the Minds: Supporting Educators and Schools 34:35 The Role of Reflection in Learning 36:39 Setting Goals and Celebrating Progress 39:00 Encouraging Students to Ask 'Why' 42:30 Maintaining Standards in Education 46:20 The Importance of Leadership in the Beauty Industry 50:54 Bringing Back Professional Standards   www.beautyschoolbobbi.com www.beautyandstylenetwork.com   Follow Beauty and Style Network: @beautystylenet Beauty School Bobbi: @beautyschoolbobbi Aaron Rogers: @aaron.k.rogers - @prosperu Main Marketing Landing page (w/both courses): https://advanced.miladytraining.com/aep-biz-success  Thinkific - Course specific LPs: Money Habits https://www.miladytraining.com/courses/money-habits Be Wildly Successful  https://www.miladytraining.com/courses/be-wildly-successful-course Main Website:  https://myprosperu.com/

Abstract: The name Helam, attested as a place name in the Bible is also attested as a personal and place name in the Book of Mormon. Evidence suggests that this name is derived from the Hebrew noun ḥayil/ḥêl, which has a wide range of meaning, including “wealth,” “abundance,” “power,” and even “army” (including Pharaoh's “army” or “host”). The form of Helam suggests the meaning, “[God is] their wealth,” “[God is] their abundance,” “[God is] their power,” and even “[God is] their army.” Although the promise latent in the name Helam is celebrated in their exceeding prosperity and abundance, Alma1's people also meet with a dramatic and ironic (apparent) reversal of this abundance and prosperity, when an army of the Lamanites occupies Helam and brings them into bondage. Mormon draws multiple lessons from this event, and he draws substantively from the language of Alma2's conversion accounts to narrate this event and its meaning. The post “They Did Multiply and Prosper Exceedingly in the Land of Helam”: Naming and Narrative Irony in Mosiah 23 first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Few projects in recent memory have done more to distort America's past—and poison our present debates—than the 1619 Project. What was marketed as a serious historical reckoning quickly hardened into political dogma, shutting down debate, smearing critics, and rewriting the story of capitalism, freedom, and the American founding.That's why this conversation matters.In Episode 182 of the Let People Prosper Show, I'm joined by Dr. Phillip W. Magness, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and one of the earliest and most rigorous critics of the 1619 Project. Phil didn't approach this debate with slogans or counter-myths. He approached it the only way serious scholarship should: with evidence, primary sources, and a willingness to follow the facts—even when they cut against the narrative.What follows is a conversation about history, yes—but also about capitalism, academic integrity, and why truth still matters in a politicized age.

In this episode of TreknoPod, we review Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 19 – “Acquisition”, the controversial Ferengi episode that bends canon, delivers classic Rules of Acquisition, and sparks big fandom debates.But before we even reach the Ferengi hijinks, we address a growing problem in the Star Trek community: AI impersonation, harassment, and fetish content targeting real creators — and why it runs directly against Star Trek's core philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations).From Ferengi first contact loopholes, Jeffrey Combs & Ethan Phillips returning in heavy makeup, and Trip Tucker spending half the episode in his underwear, to Rules of Acquisition favorites, Enterprise canon headaches, and why “Acquisition” is secretly a lot of fun, this episode covers it all.We also preview our upcoming coverage of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, discuss fandom gatekeeping, and remind everyone why Star Trek should always be a space for curiosity, creativity, and respect.

Cowork lowers the technical barrier compared to Claude Code by making AI-assisted file operations accessible to non-developer knowledge workers, including marketers and office staff.  The feature was developed after Anthropic observed users already applying Claude Code to general knowledge work despite its developer-focused positioning. The tool provides similar functionality to what was possible through Model Context Protocol integrations, but offers a more streamlined interface with Claude Code-style usability improvements.  Users can submit new requests or modifications to ongoing tasks without waiting for the initial assignment to complete. Cowork represents a strategic expansion of Anthropic’s agentic AI approach beyond software development into broader productivity workflows.

In this episode of Directed Life, we explore why biblical prosperity, God's economy, and end-times prophecy are deeply connected. This conversation breaks down the difference between Kingdom prosperity and worldly financial systems, revealing how economic dependence can shape allegiance in the last days. Using Scripture from Genesis, Daniel, the Gospels, and Revelation, this episode examines themes like the Antichrist system, the mark of the beast, buying and selling, and how God designed prosperity as a covenant promise, not a prosperity-gospel distortion. We discuss why trusting God as the provider matters more than ever as global economic control increases. 

January can come with a lot of noise. Big goals. New planners. Hustle energy. And a sneaky feeling that if you don't get it right now, you're already behind. Let's opt out of that. In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm sharing a much more realistic way to think about goal setting - one that actually works with your life, not against it.

If you've ever wondered why so many people assume progress is automatic, why trillion-dollar deficits barely raise eyebrows anymore, or why “economic planning” keeps making a comeback despite its long record of failure—this episode gets to the heart of the issue.Prosperity doesn't happen by accident. Freedom doesn't sustain itself. And history doesn't bend toward progress unless the rules of the game allow it to.That's why this conversation matters.My guest is Dr. Peter Boettke, Distinguished University Professor of Economics at George Mason University and Director of the F.A. Hayek Program at the Mercatus Center. This is Peter's third appearance (episodes 10 and 119) on the Let People Prosper Show, and every time he joins, he brings clarity to questions most policymakers avoid.Today's discussion centers on his new book, The Historical Path to Liberty and Human Progress, which makes a simple but uncomfortable point: human flourishing depends on institutions—and bad institutions destroy progress faster than good intentions can save it.At a time of runaway federal spending, renewed industrial policy, and bipartisan refusal to confront tradeoffs, this conversation couldn't be more timely.

Pastor Andy teaches about how true prosperity begins with the restoration of the soul. God desires that we prosper in all things and be in health, even as our soul prospers, because the condition of our soul directly impacts every area of life. The soul, which consists of the mind, will, and emotions, must be restored and aligned with God's Word for us to experience the abundant life Christ promised. When we renew our minds through Scripture, surrender our will to God's purposes, and allow the Holy Spirit to heal our emotions, we position ourselves to walk in complete wholeness and receive all that God has prepared for us.

Happy New Year! This week we talk about Prosper, a young man who gets into the wrong crowd after his father is killed. On the anniversary if his death, he gets into a fight that turns almost fatal. We also talk about Matthew Greene, a man trying to better himself for the New Year. He goes to the Cairngorm plateau to get a workout in. Unfortunately the weather turns quickly and he gets lost in a blizzard. Listen to how they survived now! Drink of the Week: Gin and Tonic

It's the first Vulcan Nerve Pinch in the first 'real' original series episode!Live Long and Prosper and Keep On Geekin' On!

In recent days, President Trump has unleashed American military power against jihadists in Syria and Nigeria. Such actions are clearly necessary in light of their intensifying attacks in both countries and demonstrate his commitment that “our country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.” Fulfilling that warranted pledge, however, will require more than symptomatic treatment, important as it is. Prior to his first election to the presidency, Mr. Trump recognized and decried the ideology that animates such jihadism.  And on December 20th, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard underscored the point, declaring that “the greatest near- and long-term threat to both our freedom and our security is…Islamist ideology.”  Fortunately, the President can help counter this toxic ideology systemically by banning the organization that is its preeminent champion and enabler: the Muslim Brotherhood.  Urge him to do so at BantheBrotherhood.org.  This is Frank Gaffney.

As the year wraps up, there's a lot of pressure to reflect perfectly, plan brilliantly, and magically reinvent yourself by January 1. Let's opt out of that. In this week's Chill & Prosper, I'm sharing a very real end-of-year reset - not about hustle or goals, but about permission.

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm sharing what happened last week when I pushed myself too hard, ignored my body, and had to make the heartbreaking (but powerful) decision to cancel plans to see Oprah.
