For Sunday, read 1 Corinthians 13, a famous chapter among many believers and non-believers alike - well known and resonates whole. How important is love when it comes to the use of any gift God has given us, whether a 'spiritual' gift or otherwise? What is the character and essence of love? Where do we find it? All kinds of questions arise, yet in 1st Corinthians 13, we find many answers!

Ever heard the phrase "all for one and one for all"? It's a catch phrase that has various meanings for a few different situations. I think Paul's chapter 12 in Corinthians promotes this idea. All God's people are in the faith engagement with God for God and his glory and the Holy Spirit gives each of us gifts of all the others in the body of Christ.

This time we watched Tomorrow, the Rat — Episode 4 from Series 1 of Doomwatch, first broadcast 2 March 1970 and written by Terence Dudley. That's four years before James Herbert published The Rats (which we covered in episode 4). It's highly likely he was inspired by this vintage BBC sci-fi thriller—pen in hand, watching Doomwatch unfold.Doomwatch was a vintage BBC science fiction series that aired from 1970 to 1972. A prime example of British sci-fi, it followed a government scientific agency led by Dr Spencer Quist (John Paul) investigating futuristic environmental and technological threats. Think of it as classic BBC sci-fi with serious Black Mirror energy.The show was created by Doctor Who masterminds Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler—the very same duo who invented the Cybermen. Davis had been a Doctor Who story editor; Pedler served as scientific adviser. Their fascination with the dangers of science run amok became the foundation of Doomwatch, this cult BBC science fiction drama.Series 1 and 2 each had thirteen episodes; Series 3 had twelve (though one, Sex and Violence, was never broadcast). The BBC got cold feet, possibly due to real execution footage and unflattering portrayals of public figures like Mary Whitehouse and Cliff Richard.As with far too much vintage BBC content, parts of Doomwatch are missing—wiped or taped over. At its peak, the show pulled in over 13 million viewers, cementing its place in classic British sci-fi history.Dr Quist was a Nobel-winning physicist haunted by his involvement in the Manhattan Project. (Yes, he appears in Oppenheimer.) John Paul, who played him, was a familiar face on British television: I, Claudius, Triangle, The Avengers, The New Avengers—proper BBC veteran.Toby Wren, played by Robert Powell (who we talked about in episode 46, The Survivor), was a key figure in Series 1. He met a legendary end in the finale, Survival Code. Powell asked to go out with a bang—literally. The BBC received more letters about his on-screen death than any issue since World War II.This episode, Tomorrow, the Rat, was written by Terence Dudley—then the producer of Doomwatch. Dudley directed three episodes and went on to work extensively in Doctor Who, including directing Meglos (1980), and writing Four to Doomsday, Black Orchid, and The King's Demons. He also wrote Target novelisations and K-9 and Company. Classic vintage BBC sci-fi pedigree.Simon Oates plays Dr John Ridge—you may remember him from Beasts (The Dummy episode, which we reviewed in 44a). He also played Steed in the stage version of The Avengers.Penelope Lee appears as Dr Mary Bryant. She once auditioned to play Barbara, the Doctor's original companion. She later voiced Lyn Driver in The Plague Dogs (a British animation not for the faint-hearted) and a computer in Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks. She also featured in Richard Donner's Superman as the Ninth Elder. Peak British sci-fi credentials.Hamilton Dyce turns up as the Minister. You might recognise him as Major General Scobie in Doctor Who: Spearhead from Space—another vintage BBC sci-fi staple.And no, before you ask, none of this cast ever turned up in Boon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

Idolatry... such an old-fashioned notion... Or is it? Paul says clearly in 1 Corinthians 10 that we are to 'flee from idolatry.' How can we identify or recognize an idol in our life? This short clip takes a look at some questions that can help us get to the heart of our own idolatry. After answering these questions, I've concluded, idolatry is alive and well...
In 1 Corinthians Chapter 9, Paul leads us into an attitude and posture of self-less-ness. It looks like self-discipline, self-denial, self-control in ways of being self... less. Imagine a world where everyone looked not only to their own interests but to the interests of others?
This week we celebrate the most momentous week in history. As Jesus enters Jerusalem to cheering and by the end of the week, jeering. As Jesus is crucified on a cruel cross, it's far from a loss. As Jesus' death and resurrection opens the door wide, turning the tide, against sin's spell, death and hell, as God's love in Jesus is the deepest of wells.

I think of Palm Sunday and Good Friday as being prime examples of juxtaposition. When two things are placed close together with contrasting effects. The nearness of contrasting realities. Jesus is hailed as King and yet, in a few short days suffers in agony and is crucified. This must have been so confusing to the people at the Passover festival and certainly for the disciples. No wonder they scattered, it made no sense. What is to come?

In 1st Corinthians 8 Pauls says, "Knowledge puffs up, love builds up." Sometimes we use knowledge to destroy and humiliate others by elevating ourselves as wiser, higher and better than others. Yet, as Paul says, "Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know."
In our walk through 1st Corinthians, Paul is pouring out his heart of advice, counsel, wisdom, including commands and concessions about relationships. Essentially saying, "A relationship with Jesus will transform all of your relationships."
Paul's 1st letter to the Corinthians says much about sex - sex and marriage, sex in the city, sex and the single person. All of his guidance, instruction, concessions and commands are grounded and founded in our union with Christ. He houses sex in the reality of the Kingdom of God and an abundant life in Christ - and this changes everything.
Meet Sam Quist, the entrepreneur bringing pickleball to Australia and making a difference in the sports industry. With a family legacy in tennis and a passion for innovation, Sam is manufacturing equipment and apparel for the fast-growing sport while working with schools to promote its inclusive benefits. Tune in for an insightful conversation on turning a vision into reality, the power of family influence, and the future of sports for all.
God be glorified in my Body! (1 Corinthians 6:12-20) The Apostle Paul waxes eloquent in delivering one of his most concise teachings on human sexuality for the follower of Christ. His words and teaching are masterful.
In the 1st letter to the Corinthians, Paul is on fire. Waxing eloquent, with passion, of the wisdom and power of the cross, of Christ crucified and risen, of life in the Holy Spirit! As we enter into chapter 6, Paul is concerned for their witness in the world for Christ.
1 Corinthians 5 is on deck for this Sunday. We are well into this letter to the Corinthian church and the beauty of Paul's teaching is becoming more deeply personal and more deeply communal. There is some big trouble in this church community that Paul confronts directly. Yet, Paul includes everyone in his teaching to include everyone.

So this Sunday, Paul wraps up his discouragement of certain behaviors and encouragement of others addressing the call of pastors and leaders. It's a fascinating passage, so here we go, 1st Corinthians 4.
Paul, the author of the letter to the Corinthian church is building a rock steady foundation in the opening chapters. It's a foundation Jesus would call 'solid as a rock.' The foundation? The 'cross of Christ and Christ crucified." Paul describes it as our 'righteousness, holiness, and redemption.' This foundation is seen by many as shaky, even 'foolish and weak.' But to 'those who are being saved it is the wisdom and power of God.'
Paul is laying a foundation for everything in his letter to the church in Corinth by centering everything around the cross of Christ, Christ crucified, by saying, "The cross of Christ is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it is the wisdom and power of God." To grasp the depth of truth and meaning for life and living in this one phrase will provide all the wisdom and power we will ever need for living well and finding the good life.
Mit frischem Cover und neuen Ideen starten wir ins Jahr 2025. In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit dem Verleger Leif Greinus (Voland & Quist) über die Sparmaßnahmen des Berliner Senats, der vor allem den Kulturbetrieb hart trifft. Leif ist Initiator eines offenen Briefes von Verlagen an die Berliner Landesregierung. Mehr über den Brief und welche Auswirkungen über Berlin hinaus diese Kürzungen haben, erfahrt ihr in dieser Episode.
Only one chapter into deeper study and reflection of Paul's letter to the Corinthians and the profound nature and content is stunningly beautiful. Paul waxes eloquent on God's wisdom. And God's wisdom is on full display in the most unsuspecting and surprising way. God's wisdom is found in the cross and our Lord Jesus crucified. This is so otherworldly, it's deeply profound. Paul goes further to say that the cross of Christ, is the power of God on display, becoming God's wisdom and power at work in the world and in us. The "cross of Christ is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God." In the cross, God uses "the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, the weak things of the world to shame the strong." The cross of Jesus, Christ crucified is the wisdom and power of God.

This week we head out from shore to explore the ocean of 1st and 2nd Corinthians. There are some whales and schools of dolphins we will encounter as they break the surface of the water, and as we snorkel the reefs and scuba dive the depths other truths will be revealed and discovered. There will be storms to navigate with truths that bring us calm. I'm looking forward to this excursion (adventure) with you. Sunday we will set the context with a rough map of the journey ahead, setting the context as we head out from shore, outlining some of the challenges and blessings we may encounter. So pack your bags and all necessary items you think you will need, Sunday we set sail.
Prayer... What is it? How does one engage it? Prayer can be a difficult thing to engage. A relationship with God can often seem distant, silent, in a way unreachable. Yet this is what Christmas was all about. God incarnate in Jesus comes near in a relationship one can touch and trust. God has drawn very near through Jesus.
We begin this year with a conversation about discipleship and a message on prayer before diving into the Books of 1st and 2nd Corinthians. As we look at the essence of discipleship (following Jesus), Proverbs 1-3 is a good place to start. As God's wisdom is at the heart of Discipleship.
Promise made, promise kept! For Christians, we believe in God's Word and that God keeps his Word. And at Christmas, God's Word becomes flesh revealing that God is faithful! Ever since sin entered God's world, God promised that he would send a Savior - someOne who would save us from our sin. Over and over God promised this - by his Word, in his Word - through prophets, priests and kings, even angels - various messengers and mediators. And after hundreds of years of waiting, anticipating, expecting, and preparing - God's promise made becomes God's promise kept in Jesus.
It's Advent 2024 and Advent is all about anticipation, expectation, and preparing for someone important to show up - and that important someone during Advent is God. When you think about the future, either today or the next year of 2025 unfolding, are you anticipating, expecting or even preparing for God to show up?
So, life is a big advent-ture. Filled with expectation, anticipation, preparations of all kinds. We are always wondering what's around the bend. This makes the season of Advent in preparation for Christmas so fun. I've been thinking about God's mission impossible. How to redeem and reconcile, reclaim and restore fallen humanity. History proves and personal experience reveals humanity cannot do this, it is impossible. Yet, in Scripture I read that "with God, all things are possible."
God is so good to us, this gift of love in Jesus. During Advent, we will engage an old tradition of 1st/2nd Sundays of Advent focusing on looking forward to Jesus coming again (themes of transformation and mission). Then a focus on looking back to Jesus 1st coming (themes of advent and promise fulfilled). This will lead us to Christmas Eve, 5:00pm worship service as we gather around the manger to celebrate the Incarnation, Immanuel, God with us.

As a pioneer in impact investing, Nancy has demonstrated the potential of venture capital to drive social change and environmental improvements. She is an active voice in the field, frequently writing and speaking on impact investing topics. Nancy serves on the boards of several companies, including Zola Electric, Bellwether Coffee, and Farmers Business Network, and has previously worked with Tesla Motors, SolarCity, and Pandora before their public offerings. Before founding DBL, she was a Managing Director in Venture Capital at JPMorgan and began her investment career at Hambrecht & Quist in 1984. Her diverse experience also includes roles at Intel Corporation, the State of California, Stanford University, and the Sierra Club.

DBL Partners uses venture capital to accelerate innovation in a way that positively affects an organization's social impact, as well as its financial success. We strongly believe these two drivers –positive social change and a healthy financial performance– are inherently connected. DBL invests in and helps nurture outstanding entrepreneurs and companies in Cleantech, Information Technology, Sustainable Products and Services, and Healthcare.

[46:19] - Create several scenarios in your analysis and do some stress testing. [51:53] - There is a lot of uncertainty right now, especially when it comes to policies. [54:24] - Even with uncertainty, there are many things to like and be positive about with policy transitions. Links and Resources: DBL Partners
Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Andy Cupp Elections tend to focus on the major two parties: Republican and Democrat. But there are several third parties also involved. Today, we speak with one of those third-party candidates, Michelle Quist, United Utah Party candidate for Attorney General. Quist explains the basis of her campaign and why she believes she’s the one who will restore trust and transparency to that office.
Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Andy Cupp Candidates take to the debate stage for Utah’s 1st Congressional District Three candidates vying to represent Utah’s 1st Congressional District took to the debate stage, trying to win over voters. Incumbent candidate Rep. Blake Moore (R), Bill Campbell (D), and Daniel Cottam (L) discussed topics on budget, government spending, immigration, housing, and more. We begin KSL at Night recapping their one-hour debate. Senator Mitt Romney gives 5 warnings for the future of the U.S. Outgoing U.S. Senator Mitt Romney says he’s optimistic about the future of America. At the same time, he’s nervous about several situations that could spell utter disaster. We discuss a few of the warnings he gave in two speeches yesterday. We also share why Senator Romney says that despite all of the issues facing the United States, he’s still hopeful about the country’s future. Immigration policy: Does it have to be an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ situation? Recently, an Idaho state senator made the news for telling a Native American woman to “go back to where [she] came from” during a local ‘Meet the Candidate’ event. This kind of vitriol towards people we perceive as outsiders and foreigners isn’t a new thing; it’s been something that’s been with us as a country since the beginning. Why is this? Bill to be introduced banning large companies from buying homes in Utah Utah State Representative Tyler Clancy is working on a bill that would prohibit large multinational companies from buying and owning single-family homes here in the state. The hope is that it would free up inventory for younger adults looking to purchase their first house. We discuss the details of this proposal and the state of Utah’s housing market. Meet the candidate: Michelle Quist for Attorney General Elections tend to focus on the major two parties: Republican and Democrat. But there are several third parties also involved. Today, we speak with one of those third-party candidates, Michelle Quist, United Utah Party candidate for Attorney General. Quist explains the basis of her campaign and why she believes she’s the one who will restore trust and transparency to that office. Meet the candidate: Glenn Wright for Congress (UT-3) With experience as a former Summit County Councilman and member of the Utah Association of Counties board, Democratic candidate for Utah’s 3rd Congressional District Glenn Wright says he’s ready to take his ideas to Congress. He joins KSL at Night to outline some of his policy positions. He also explains why voters should choose him to fill Utah’s only open congressional seat. Senator Mike Lee outlines proposal for future Senate leadership As the United States Senate looks to elect new leadership, Utah Senator Mike Lee says it’s a pivotal time to make lasting reforms to existing processes. In a series of posts on social media, he outlined several proposals that he says would “make the Senate work for the people again.” We spend a few minutes going through each of his points and share our thoughts. *Re-rack: How to keep strong political feelings from dividing your family

Origins - A podcast about Limited Partners, created by Notation Capital
What do Primary GP Jason Shuman and Slow Ventures Partner Will Quist have in common? At first glance, not much, given how differently their firms approach firm building and VC "platforms." At Primary, their Impact team outnumbers investors 2:1, while Slow consists of 3 GPs, and 3 GPs only. But in a surprising twist, they agree on more than one would expect. They both see non-consensus investing as carrying big risk but also big opportunity. They are both seed investors and their respective firms go to market in very different ways. They sit down with co-hosts Nick Chirls, GP at Notation Capital & Beezer Clarkson, LP at Sapphire Partners, to talk about zigging when the market zags, identifying truly disruptive companies on day zero, and how much impact VCs actually have on the companies they partner with.

This is really one you should watch on our YouTube. Like, all of them are. But this one has Will going to a White Board.What if we could know whether the business idea you can't shake is worth pursuing? What if we could ensure that we're pairing the right ideas with the right capital sources to ensure the best possible outcomes? Will Quist, from Slow Ventures, is on a mission to answer these question and more for founders with subject matter expertise and high opportunity cost.To that end, he's designed the Slow PhD, a program that embraces the idea that "Important companies and successful businesses can't be hacked, forced, or faked.” Through a rigorous engagement process and step by step opportunity analysis, Will hopes to target more of the right people at the right opportunities with the right sources of capital behind them. This conversation was an attempt to give a preview of the PhD program and explore ideas around its perimeter. Take aways from this one—There has been a decoupling of awesome products from awesome companies and awesome companies from awesome venture capital investments. Just because a product is great doesn't mean it will make a great company or require venture capital. A lot is knowable early on about a company's prospects.The abundance of venture capital in recent years may actually be a bug, not a feature, for founders. When capital was scarcer, getting funded was a stronger signal that an idea was worth a founder's opportunity cost to pursue. Now, founders are sacrificing a lot of their valuable time without enough diligence.Venture capital should be used to fund experiments to test novel hypotheses about how the world works that could be wildly valuable if true. The experiments should generate clear true/false signals without requiring too much capital. This gives optionality to pursue bigger opportunities if the initial hypothesis is validated.If founders become better “investors” in their own companies by deeply understanding their business model, capital efficiency, and growth levers beyond just building great products, it could lead to more efficient allocation of capital and better venture outcomes overall. But truly great venture-scale companies may still be constrained more by the supply of innovative ideas than the supply of capital.
When the LIFERS Podcast moved offices and we needed movers — we wanted real movers, real service… real rock and roll. So we called the guys at REAL ROCK ‘N' ROLL MOVERS. These guys delivered rock solid service. If you're planning a move —residential, commercial, whatever— you gotta call the REAL ROCK ‘N' ROLL MOVERS. Plus their boss man used to play drums in Starball and Moreno (and was also the drum tech for Local H). You've seen their cool black skull moving trucks everywhere. That's them!
