Podcasts about purposes

No matter what you're doing, it's important to know the why behind it. The same is true of prayer. In this lesson from 1 Timothy 2, Paul shows us the why behind our prayer. What he teaches us is that prayer accomplishes God's purposes.

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I came across a series of strident posts about the injustice associated with a non-amateur service using the 70cm band. Complete with links to discussions, spectrum plots, angst and even incoherent outrage, all related to the notion that whomever "allowed" this user to transmit on this band was clearly incompetent. Except, that this is probably not the case, or the full story. So, what's going on and why are people incensed? This all started at least six years ago. Since then AST SpaceMobile has deployed seven low Earth orbit satellites and used the 70cm band to communicate with them. Although in the trial phase, there's plans for an additional 243 satellites, and there's at least one other company playing in the same space, Atmos Space Cargo. The outcry from amateurs is around the commercial use of "their" 70cm amateur band. It's an emotional statement, but what is the reality? Before I dig in, let's set some terms. Radio frequencies are globally coordinated because electromagnetism doesn't care about sovereign borders. This coordination is conducted at the United Nations by a body called the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. Within that body, amateur radio gets a seat at the table from an organisation called the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. For the purposes of the ITU, the world is divided into three, Region 1, or essentially Europe, Russia and Africa, Region 2, the Americas and Greenland, and Region 3, the rest of the world. There's more to it, for example, Antarctica is split across all three, but for the moment, that really doesn't matter. Of interest is that the band plan, the agreements that outline which frequencies are set aside for what service, might be defined differently across each of those three regions. To add complexity, each country can be granted exceptions. I don't know the exact mechanics of how this is achieved, but I can guarantee that there's lots of haggling and foot stomping, diplomatically of course. If you're curious how I come to that observation, just look at the absurd list of exceptions associated with each band plan allocation. Further complexity is added by the fact that not all allocations occupy the same frequency range. For example, in Region 1, the 2m band for Amateurs exists between 144 and 146 MHz, in Region 2 and 3 it's between 144 and 148 MHz. Within an allocation there is the concept of shared and exclusive priorities. These determine who "wins" if two stations with a different service are transmitting on the same frequency. Essentially, a secondary user may not interfere with a primary user and a tertiary user may not interfere with either a secondary or a primary user and so on. A primary user can pretty much do what they want, as long as they stay within the allocation and don't interfere with other primary users. As a result, the order in which services are listed, matters. An exclusive allocation doesn't have to be shared at all. Between regions these service priorities might not be the same. For example, in Region 1 between 430 and 432 MHz is allocated to Amateurs and Radio Location, but in Region 2 and 3 it's between Radio Location and Amateurs. So an amateur using that frequency whilst in Region 1 would be a primary user, but in Region 2 or 3 they wouldn't. As an added wrinkle, for example in Australia, that slice is "primarily for the purposes of defence and national security", even though Radio Location is the primary service and Amateurs the secondary one. As a bonus, amateurs in Australia have access to 420.8 to 421.2 MHz as a secondary service, even though the ITU designates this as Fixed, then Mobile, except Aeronautical Mobile, and then Radio Location. Although amateurs are a secondary service, they come after the Department of Defence who are the primary users for those frequencies in Australia. Between 420 and 430 MHz, and from 440 to 450 MHz in several countries, Australia included, the Amateur Service is explicitly designated as a secondary service even though the band plan doesn't actually show this. If you're confused, you're in good company, since this tapestry of regulation isn't as straightforward as the "70cm band is an amateur band", in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's not an amateur band at all, except perhaps in Region 1 between 430 and 440 MHz where Amateur is designated as the non-exclusive primary service. Back to the blow up. AST was at one time authorised to use 430 to 440 MHz for trial purposes by a regulator in Region 2, the FCC, the United States Federal Communications Commission. I suspect that at the time, the Blue Walker 1 nano satellite was experimental and the approval made sense. You can argue that whomever initially allowed this made a mistake, but, reality is whatever the regulator says it is, unless someone at the ITU objects. It appears that the FCC has since been attempting to make AST comply, instead with billions of dollars at stake, AST continues to apply for more spectrum, which they apparently originally filed with the ITU through the Papua New Guinea administration. It's unclear if the FCC has since capitulated. There is evidence that the new commercial AST satellites are transmitting outside of their authorisation, euphemistically described as "IARU Uncoordinated". Ask yourself, how is it possible, or even allowable, that a regulator permits use of radio spectrum outside its borders and what penalties and remedies exist? The ground stations using these disputed frequencies are all outside the USA. One of the five ground stations is in my own city, Perth in Western Australia. I haven't noticed any discussion on this topic within my local community, even though this has been brewing for years. It does raise a bigger question. How is the band plan enforced? I mean, the 40m band is pretty much unusable in VK6 between sunset and midnight thanks to the fishing fleet of our northern neighbours, it's been like that for as long as I've been an amateur and I expect no change during my lifetime. How is this satellite fleet operating on the 70cm band any different? That said, I cannot help but wonder, will the originally authorised 50 kHz signal every eight seconds, not for phone calls to space, and only for 24 hours after launch or in the unlikely event of an emergency, for Telemetry, Tracking and Command, actually cause issues, or will it be an opportunity for radio amateurs to learn how to deal with interference? Speaking of interference and considering the allocated services, who is interfering with whom here and what priorities and remedies exist? Recently I talked about promotion, and the lack thereof, across our community. This is an example of promotion, and despite the uproar this week, a very poor example at that. Searching for "AST SpaceMobile", the oldest post I could find was on the German AMSAT, or Amateur Satellite forums back in September 2022 by Peter DB2OS who has been very active on this matter. His original post was in English, but went on to discuss the issue in German. I only found it after specifically looking for the names of the organisation involved. Peter's posts supplied links to many of the documents I consulted. Despite having links to specific pages, I found no search results for "AST SpaceMobile" on the websites for the regulators in the US, UK, Germany or Australia, and none on the ARRL, RSGB or DARC. The WIA produced two glowing news reports around the beginning of 2023 about this wonderful new mobile phone service. No mention of the 70cm band. The only active discussions appear to be the German and UK AMSAT forums, that and all the glowing investor posts. In other words. This is the equivalent of publishing the information at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri, 50 years before the event and hoping for a good outcome. As a potential path forward, in January 2023 the German regulator forced AST to shut off 70cm operations whilst it was within radio visibility of Germany. I don't know if that's still in effect, or how and if it's being enforced. It appears that AST has been lobbying for the use of this spectrum for a long time, not just the 340 page submission made last month. For example, NASA made its first response to this satellite constellation in October 2020. It appears that the WIA responded four years later, but I have yet to see it, and this week the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, the ARRL, and RSGB added theirs. The IARU issued a statement this week too. The fact that we're still arguing about it over half a decade later is a good indication that how we're responding as a global community is clearly ineffectual. Perhaps that is what we should be arguing stridently about. So, where do you stand on this? Should something be done about this, and if-so, what, and more importantly, how? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Daily Study: With God, all people are created equal and have the same value. However, society does not think this way. Society has evolved to esteem some physical characteristics and social standings as more valuable than others. For example, if you're the right color, the right height, or the right gender, then you may have an advantage over somebody who's doesn't have one of those characteristics or features. This isn't fair; however, God can use a social privilege for his purposes. So if you have a privilege, don't automatically push it away; instead, allow God to use it.  Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver engages with Dr. David Allen Black to discuss the synoptic gospels, the synoptic problem, and the historical origins of the gospels. They explore the significance of external evidence, the role of the Church Fathers, and the implications of Markan priority. Dr. Black presents his fourfold gospel hypothesis, emphasizing the need for historical context in understanding the development of the gospels. The conversation also addresses common concerns regarding the reliability of the gospels and the importance of examining evidence critically.This video explores the **two source hypothesis** related to the origins of the Gospels in the Bible. The speaker explains how understanding this theory can impact the way people interpret biblical texts, and how it is related to the **synoptic problem**.-The term 'synoptic' means to view the gospels together.-The synoptic problem may not be a problem at all. -External evidence is often overlooked in gospel studies.-Markan priority is a dominant theory, but has its challenges. -The early church unanimously believed Matthew was the first gospel.-Historical context is crucial for understanding the gospels.-The Church Fathers provide valuable insights into gospel authorship.-The Q hypothesis is speculative and lacks concrete evidence.-The Christian faith is rooted in historical evidence.-Scholars should be approached with caution; personal investigation is essential.00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest01:31 Understanding the Synoptic Gospels04:59 Exploring the Synoptic Problem05:19 Three Lines of Evidence for Gospel Order 08:32 Questioning Markan Priority10:39 Historical Context of Gospel Development17:50 The Role of Early Church Fathers24:11 The Fourfold Gospel Hypothesis28:08 Unity in the Early Church 29:09 Historical Context of the Gospels30:32 Occasional Nature of New Testament Letters31:58 The Role of the Gospels in Addressing Needs33:13 Critique of Markan Priority35:30 Historical Perspectives on Gospel Origins 36:57 The Importance of Church History39:24 The Enlightenment's Impact on Gospel Scholarship41:09 The Interconnectedness of Biblical Studies43:26 The Role of Language in Understanding the Gospels45:56 Different Styles and Purposes of Gospel Writers52:13 Addressing Lay Concerns about Gospel Reliability

What happens when Western property theory meets Indigenous eco-wisdom? This Wolff Peace episode pairs John Locke with Vandana Shiva in a radical rethink of ownership, land, and peace. In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek contrasts the legacy of John Locke—whose ideas about liberty and property helped justify land enclosures and colonial expansion—with the work of Vandana Shiva, a scientist and activist who defends seeds, soil, and the commons. Through the lens of Robert Paul Wolff's Political Man and Social Man, we trace the roots of modern liberalism and its uneasy relationship with power and place. What might Locke and Shiva teach us about freedom, consent, and the responsibilities of being human?

Rom. 11:25-32. 6/1/25.  An expositional sermon from the letter to the Romans.

Last week, we shared that God's dream is to be home with humanity. This calls us to see the bigger picture of His dream and surrender our own — sometimes forever, and sometimes for further refining. All of this work is to join a bigger vision not of our own making. This week, we'll explore how God's desires co-mingle with our own as we co-create and co-labor with God to bring generational dreams into the world. In the story of Abraham, God blesses him and pledges to make his “descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore.” The only problem: Abraham and his wife, Sarah, cannot have kids. Come Sunday to learn how “sands and stars” dreams are all about partnering and persevering with God for generations far beyond our own.- Series Description -What dreams do we have for our life? Are they God's dreams or our dreams? Both? Sometimes, we protect God from our own dreams, wondering if we gave into his ways and will if he would squelch our true desires. Other times, we give up on dreams understanding the call to discipleship to mean that dreams are for yesteryear. There is another way. Throughout the scriptures, God hints at what his true dream is and ways humans can partner with God with their own longings. This involves knowing God's heart, learning to wait, expecting opposition, and pairing our dreams with a call to obedience. Come bring your dreams, yourselves, and interested friends for this series.

As more families scrutinize their post-high school options for virtue and value, the field has perhaps never been wider. Choosing a path carefully, with the right balance of priorities, should be the goal for every high school graduate. Before serving as our headmaster, Mr. Alvaro de Vicente was the Heights college counselor. Over the last few decades, he's witnessed an exciting shift in the way students and their parents can evaluate, prioritize, and choose a path after graduation that serves the whole person well. And while colleges are responding more and more to these good demands, Mr. de Vicente also explores how high schools and employers could keep pace with the changes.
