"Don't despise how small your church is right now... that's the beauty of the body of Christ." "Worship ministry isn't about writing songs, it's not about being cool... it's about loving people. It's about making disciples." "My favorite moments of worship are when the band has dropped out and the people of God are just singing at the top of their lungs." "What if we just went on a worship songwriting fast for six months? What would that do for us if we just stopped writing songs and releasing worship music for a little bit?"

Shianne Foxx is an OnlyFans model who gained widespread attention for her unconventional and direct approach to finding a sugar daddy.In a bold move, she erected billboards in affluent areas, most notably in Mosman, a wealthy suburb of Sydney, Australia. These billboards featured a photo of Foxx along with a clear message stating she was seeking a sugar daddy. This audacious marketing strategy was designed to cut through the noise of online dating and directly target successful individuals who might be interested in a mutually beneficial arrangement. The billboards immediately sparked significant media coverage and public reaction. While some viewed the campaign as a clever and humorous way for Foxx to achieve her goals, others criticized it as being overtly transactional and potentially promoting unrealistic expectations in relationships. Regardless of the varied opinions, the campaign was undeniably successful in generating buzz and attracting attention to Foxx.According to reports, Foxx was inundated with responses following the launch of her billboards, claiming to have received over 2,000 calls. This overwhelming reaction highlights the intense interest, both positive and negative, that her campaign generated. While articles detail the initial splash and the volume of responses, the long-term outcome of Foxx's sugar daddy billboard campaign and whether she successfully found a suitable partner remains less clear within the provided sources. Nevertheless, her initiative stands out as a memorable and provocative example of a creator utilizing traditional advertising methods in a highly unconventional manner to promote her personal brand and seek specific relationship dynamics.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on Twitter or Facebook @kingofpodcasts or Instagram @thekingofpodcastsListen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.

We think using the ol' ageism chestnut when you don't get a role could be a convenient story you tell yourself. Maybe even an excuse…! Provocative? Yep. Accurate? Maybe.  Ageism is when we discriminate based on age – younger or older, everyone could experience ageism but when we deem it the reason we didn't get the job, or the reason we weren't promoted or the reason we were made redundant or sacked, we would like to challenge your thinking… In this episode we ask you to answer this question: “Are you relevant?”Have you kept up your training, growth and skills development? It's a jungle out there… things are changingrapidly so if you're not keeping up then you'll be pushed out and your age won't have anything to do with it!Nanna Phillips and Nanna Dolan reckon they're ageless progressives… because age is an attitude and they both continue to learn, grow and put themselves out there when it comes to ensuring they remain relevant irrespective of the number on their birth certificate! !Find out more about our Finders Keepers event in Fijihttps://tinyurl.com/JacandRalFinderskeeperss---------------------------------------------------------New Episode Every Monday Follow the showhttps://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPgFollow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/Follow Ralhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

Sander Hicks: Slingshot to the Juggernaut: Total Resistance to the Death Machine Means Complete Love of the TruthIn the ten years since 9/11, a grassroots truth movement has sprung up that unites the best elements of the right and left. The call to resist the secrecy, imperialism, and the manipulation of the elite has been heard by a wide spectrum of people, across religious and political lines. This is a revolutionary moment that has lacked a clarifying manifesto.Until now.Pulling from his personal confrontations with the FBI, Rudolph Giuliani, Eliot Spitzer, and Dick Cheney, activist, maverick, and investigative reporter Sander Hicks reaches for a broader understanding of who was behind the 9/11 attacks. He reports the mysterious murder of Dr. David M. Graham, a Shreveport dentist who met two of the 9/11 hijackers but was then harassed by the FBI and poisoned. Scientific evidence leads him to take a hard, critical stance against Bush, Cheney, and the 9/11 “Official Story.”Weaving evidence with anecdote, Slingshot to the Juggernaut is an inspiring ride into the 9/11 cover-up and the revolutionary possibilities it inadvertently created.

Unlock the secrets of properly understanding and diagnosing myocardial bridges with insight from Dr. Jeffrey Fowler, a leading interventional cardiologist at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Our conversation promises to illuminate the often perplexing process of diagnosing these cardiac anomalies and their impact on heart function. Through the lens of minimally invasive procedures and advanced imaging techniques like coronary CT angiograms, Dr. Fowler demystifies why myocardial bridges are not always the main culprits behind chest pain and the definitive testing now being done to ascertain the significance of the myocardial bridge. We're going to explore the intricate world of invasive testing, as we detail the provocative testing process used to evaluate myocardial bridges, their severity and their contribution to angina, or chest pain. Dr. Fowler explains how starting with an empiric trial of medications can lead to more invasive procedures like heart catheterization if necessary. Learn about the steps of the provocative test and the role of acetylcholine in testing for endothelial dysfunction and vasospasm, with reassurances about the safety and reversibility of these tests. This episode is our first on the detail and best practice for diagnosis of the bridge through the provocative test we've heard so much about. It's meant for the education and knowledge for both patients and professionals, enhancing understanding of the nuanced approaches in relatively rare process of diagnosis. Celebrate the spirit of collaboration among cardiology experts as Dr. Fowler shares the necessity of communication and advice. He's consulted with many others along the way including Dr. Shaw at Yale and Dr. Tremmell at Stanford, highlighting real-world case studies like that of patient David Vollmer.

Ep. 156 (Part 2 of 3) | Integral polymath Sean Esbjörn-Hargens is the first comparative scholar to undertake differentiating the myriad varieties of nonduality. A longtime spiritual practitioner within several nondual traditions, Sean wanted to find out how we can understand the relationship between reality, consciousness, and practice. He decided to delve into a comprehensive study of nonduality and was surprised and excited by what he found: 40 distinct nondual traditions, ancient and new, from East and West, fascinating in their differences, their similarities, their uniqueness, and their depth. Sean's hope is that his comparative analysis of nondual traditions will open the door to a global, cross-tradition dialogue that will supersede centuries of misunderstanding and conflict among people arguing that their realization is the best and/or only correct interpretation of reality and allow nondual traditions to enrich and empower one another.Enthusiasm and excitement flow throughout the conversation as Sean reveals provocative patterns he has uncovered in nonduality's history and the distinctions he has mapped so far. It becomes clear that nondual realizations evolve in a way similar to developmental models in terms of subject/object relationship, psychology of self, and taking new perspectives, and that they will continue to evolve. As Sean puts it, “the ontological floor keeps dropping out as the endpoint of spiritual realization.” “What will our nondual traditions look like in a thousand years? In two thousand years!” Sean wonders. Hang on to your hats for a thoroughly enjoyable and eye opening ride through a goldmine of information about the many faces and potentials of our nondual traditions.

How should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ's command to love our enemies?
