In this episode of the Disciple Makers Podcast, Jason discusses the importance of readiness, faithfulness, and fruitfulness in the Christian life. He reflects on the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25, emphasizing the need for constant readiness and faithfulness, not just a last-minute scramble. He discusses how readiness is not about knowing future events but being faithful in the present. Jason shares anecdotes about his own struggles with procrastination and urges listeners to focus on their immediate actions and short-term goals. He contrasts this with historical examples of failed doomsday predictions to highlight the futility of trying to pinpoint the end times. The episode concludes with a call to action for consistent, faithful living in daily discipleship and evangelism.

God's judgment will come suddenly, but those who are ready will be saved.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Jennifer Kushell, global thought leader on youth employment and entrepreneurship, and founder and CEO of Exploring Your Potential (EYP), an edtech company helping schools teach work and life readiness to students, to talk about lifechanging and personalized workforce education for high school and college students through the EYP elearning program. We know that 50% of college students and 75% of high school students graduate feeling unprepared to make career decisions. That's not a failure of effort—it's a signal that the system isn't designed to meet each student where they are. Most schools simply don't have the time or tools to help students explore their individual interests, strengths, or goals in a meaningful way. But we're helping educators lean in—creating space for students to reflect, get curious about their future, and begin to shape it with purpose. When students feel seen and supported in that process, they show up differently—with more motivation, clarity, and confidence. That's the shift we're working toward. Shouldn't every student have that chance? Jennifer also talks about her diagnosis with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and how learning differences can be considered as a strength and even an inspiration for young people to relate and connect with her. She recognizes the epidemic of isolated youth high anxiety and depression, and the need to develop grit. She aims for a global effort to make sure that our youth's support networks have the right information to make the best decisions in ensuring they feel seen and heard so as to ignite the passion of creating a better world for their generation and beyond. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology.

WELCOME TO CITADEL CHURCH ONLINE!We're so excited to connect with you this week! We pray you're blessed and that you find a place to belong here in our community.Right now, we're in a series called Secrets of the Kingdom: Stories Jesus Told That Change Everything.Jesus often spoke in parables - simple stories with deep truths about God's Kingdom and how we're invited to live in it. Each week, we're exploring one of these powerful stories and what it means for our lives today.➡ This is our last parable:

You've probably heard it before: that 90% of Americans would die within a year of an EMP attack. It's one of the most quoted numbers in all of preparedness. But that number didn't come from a study or model. It came from a single sentence in a 2005 Senate hearing. It wasn't a forecast—it was… The post EMP Myth: Where the 90% Death Claim Came From appeared first on Mind4Survival.

Looking for more DTP content? Check us out here: https://www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-links In this episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena interviews Erik Kramer, a 26-year U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, tech innovator, and senior leader with the National Center for Urban Operations (NCOU). Erik brings decades of experience in counter-drone warfare, urban operations, and emerging threat environments, with direct insight from years spent training Ukrainian forces and advising on counter-unmanned systems. Kramer explains how drones and unmanned systems are fundamentally transforming warfare and crisis response — creating a “revolution in military affairs.” Drawing from his time in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, he shares how decision-making is shifting from senior leaders to junior operators who must act instantly under drone threats. He warns that the U.S. and local agencies remain woefully unprepared for a September 11th–style event involving unmanned systems, and stresses the urgent need for counter-UAS training, decentralized decision-making, and survivor-first leadership. Beyond drones, Kramer highlights the often-overlooked risks of subterranean operations in cities — from tunnels and underground infrastructure to complex dense-urban terrain — and how NCOU is working with ports, first responders, and military units to build awareness, create tailored counter-drone strategies, and deliver advanced training. This episode connects lessons from Ukraine, Special Forces culture, and emerging technologies directly to emergency managers, first responders, and policymakers who must adapt to an era where drones, cyber, and underground threats redefine homeland security.

Send us a textEveryone makes ABM about accounts - and better account targeting. But ABM is not really about accounts. It's about the buyers inside the accounts you want to land and expand. It's about improving the interactions you have with these buyers and the account experiences you deliver to them. In this episode, Andy Monahan at Yield Group joins Kristina Jaramillo and Eric Gruber to discuss what it means to be buyer-led and how ABM programs should be buyer-led. They also discuss:1. How GTM teams do not understand their buyers -- and what GTM teams are missing.2. How teams are not looking at buying group make-up fit, strategic fit, or future fit when defining the ICP. 3. How teams are not looking at the readiness of accounts.  4. How teams often miss the step of realigning their positioning, messaging, content, and even their pricing with the new ICP.  They are pushing out the old stuff to new accounts and hoping for a better result. But accounts are still going dark because they haven't changed the content, interactions, and experiences to align with the ICP and the buyers within those ICP accounts. 

This week, as media reports suggest that the US is considering withdrawing its troops from the Baltics, we break down what presence the US really has on NATO's eastern flank. We look at the large-scale military exercises being led by other NATO allies in the Baltics – in symbolic opposition to the joint Zapad drills of Russia and Belarus – as well as the fiscal difficulties European countries now face trying to fund greater defence spending. We discuss this in the context of Russian sanctions, as Europe prepares a 19th package of measures, but many countries maintain business ties with Moscow via third-party countries.

The world can feel chaotic, and the topic of the "end times" can be daunting. But what did Jesus really say about it? In this message, Pastor Chris Rieber explores the profound and practical wisdom of Luke 21:5-38. He shows us how Jesus' prophecy, while speaking of future trials, ultimately points to a present hope. This sermon isn't about predicting dates or instilling fear. It's a call to readiness and a reminder of a powerful truth: that even in the midst of uncertainty, we are never alone and the ultimate victory is already secured in Jesus.

Title: You'll Never Be Ready - So Stop WaitingHost: Jim FrawleyTheme: “Readiness” is a socially acceptable form of procrastination. Action creates readiness; waiting doesn't.Episode SummaryIf you're waiting until it feels safe, you'll wait forever. In this episode, Jim dismantles the myth of “being ready” and shows why we hide behind planning, perfectionism, and permission-based thinking. Through real-world examples-from founders and athletes to new leaders-he outlines how progress happens in motion. You'll leave with concrete tools: the smallest viable action, the 24-hour rule, the five-minute rule, and a practical way to separate skill prep from courage prep so you can finally move on the goals you keep postponing.Key TakeawaysReadiness is often code for wanting safety. Safety isn't coming; momentum is a choice.Planning can be useful, but over-planning becomes fear disguised as productivity.Action before clarity: reality reveals itself only once you start.Separate skill gaps from courage gaps. Skills are trained; courage is exercised.Use deadlines, the 24-hour rule, and five-minute actions to force movement.Permission-based mindsets from school and work do not map to the chaos of real life or business.If you won't act, stop pretending it's a priority-reclaim the mental bandwidth.Timestamps & Chapters00:00 - Cold open: “You're not waiting to be ready-you're waiting for it to be safe.”02:00 - Readiness as socially acceptable procrastination04:10 - The brain's safety bias and fear of social rejection07:00 - Technical comfort vs. relational leadership: why many stall out10:00 - Why life isn't linear: business plans vs. reality12:30 - Action before clarity: the feedback loop that actually builds readiness15:00 - Three examples: founder, athlete, newly promoted leader19:40 - Practical tools: smallest viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule23:30 - Skill prep vs. courage prep26:00 - Deadlines, consequences, and moving past over-preparation28:30 - Closing challenge: if you won't act, take it off the listPractical Tools MentionedSmallest Viable Action: Identify the tiniest step that moves the goal forward now.24-Hour Rule: If you think of it, take some step within 24 hours.Five-Minute Rule: Do one action that takes less than five minutes toward your biggest goal today.Skill vs. Courage Audit: Write two columns-what skills you must train versus what actions require courage.Hard Deadline: Put a real date on the calendar. Commit publicly.Notable Lines“The plan is useful; planning is indispensable-but the plan won't survive first contact with reality.”“Preparation is good. Overpreparation is fear in disguise.”“Courage cannot be preloaded; it can only be exercised.”“Permission isn't coming. Safety isn't coming.

This message kicks off a four-week focus on Readiness, Repentance, Service, and Community—starting with Jesus' call to be ready. Walking through Luke 12, Pastor Landon urges believers to live with eternal urgency: girded and lamps burning, watching, working, and discerning the times—because Christ could return at any moment. Key Themes • Readiness: Girded for action; lamps filled and burning (Luke 12:35–40; 1 Pet. 1:13). • Watching & Hope: Joy tied to longing for His appearing; our blessed hope (1 Thes. 4:13–18; Titus 2:13). • Working: Faithful stewardship now—time, talents, treasure—because to whom much is given, much is required (Luke 12:41–48; 1 Cor. 4:2). • Division: Loyalty to Jesus above all else (Luke 12:49–53; Matt. 10:34–39; John 15:18–19). • Discerning: Read the signs of the times; stay sober and awake (Luke 12:54–56; Rom. 13:11; 1 Thes. 5:6). • Reconciling: Settle with God now—today is the day of salvation (Luke 12:57–59; 2 Cor. 6:2; Rom. 5:1). Scriptures Mentioned Luke 12:35–59; 1 Pet. 1:13; Matt. 24–25; Rev. 1; 4–5; 19; 1 Cor. 15:51–52; 1 Thes. 4:13–18; 5:1–6; Titus 2:13; Rom. 13:11; 14:12; 2 Cor. 5:10; Zech. 4:6. Practical Responses • Cut one daily distraction (social, TV, gaming) to create space for Word & prayer. • Journal what God is teaching you; share a reflection with a friend. • Take a step in discipleship—be discipled and disciple someone. • Evaluate stewardship: where are you investing eternally vs. temporally? • If you don't know Jesus, reconcile with God today (2 Cor. 6:2).

This message began with prayer, Bible reading, and reflections on faith and spiritual gifts.The main message emphasized God's sovereign preparation of individuals for His purposes, illustrated through Moses' life, Job's trials, and Christ's finished work on the cross. Themes of divine timing, readiness, and trust in God's love were central, along with encouragement to rely on prayer, fellowship, and the assurance of Christ's eternal atonement. The discussion also explored God's loving discipline, contrasting Adam and Christ, and concluded with gratitude for God's presence, protection, and promise of eternal fellowship.Themes:Prayer, faith, and spiritual gifts (2 Timothy)God's sovereign preparation for individual purpose (Moses' life)Readiness and divine timing in fulfilling God's callingJob's suffering and questions, God's preparation for deeper intimacy (Job; Psalm 8)Jesus Christ's once-for-all sacrifice contrasted with animal sacrifices (Hebrews)The first Adam vs. the last Adam—Christ's victory and fulfillment of God's plan (Romans; 1 Corinthians)Loving discipline as a process of growth: enforcement, submission, genuine loveTrust, prayer, and fellowship in God's presenceGod's unwavering love and assurance of eternal life and future fellowship (Zephaniah; Daniel; Isaiah)Scripture References:2 Timothy; Job; Psalm 8; Hebrews; Romans; 1 Corinthians; Zephaniah; Isaiah; Daniel

Inspired by Jay ShettyWe can create a great relationship when we ask the right questions. Forget the fantasy of finding a “perfect partner.” A relationship's quality depends on what we make of it.When dating, we should enjoy ourselves and ask meaningful questions to understand what the other person wants.0. Why Ask the Scary Questions?If you're afraid to ask hard questions, deep down you might already know the answer. Avoiding the truth only delays the pain — and it will always backfire.We often live in lies, and that keeps us from moving forward.A healthy relationship is not only about chemistry — it's about clarity.If you want real connection, you need real conversations.People who hide from uncomfortable topics often face a bigger crash when the truth comes out. In my experience, speaking honestly reveals true friends, and those who don't belong will leave — saving time and energy.If you change yourself just to fit in with people who aren't right for you, it isolates you, damages your well-being, and can lead to deep despair. Rejection is scary, but pretending is worse.1. What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like for You?A healthy relationship:Gives you space to grow (unhealthy: forces you to shrink to fit)Holds you through hard times (unhealthy: makes you feel like a burden)Brings you peace (unhealthy: keeps you addicted to chaos)Challenges you with kindness (unhealthy: criticizes you into silence)Helps you trust your voice (unhealthy: makes you doubt it)Reminds you of your worth (unhealthy: makes you fight to prove it)Ask: What are your terms and conditions for a healthy relationship?Even better, explore their family relationship patterns — these often shape how they love.2. What Does Commitment Mean for You?Wishful thinking doesn't create a healthy relationship. Commitment does.Commitment is:Showing up on boring daysTalking things out instead of running awayFeeling safe, even when you disagreeAccepting differences without disrespectKnowing you're valued, even on your worst dayRespecting each other's space while staying connectedChoosing each other again and again, not just when it's easyThis conversation isn't about forcing commitment immediately — it's about understanding values before a crisis.3. How Do You Handle Conflict?Do you:A. Take time to process? (Hiding)B. Want to solve it immediately? (Venting)C. Explode emotionally? (Exploding)Healthy couples address conflicts early and calmly — not through avoidance, disrespect, or fighting.Ask: What are your long-term intentions? Are we going in the same direction?4. What Does Emotional Availability Mean to You?Are you emotionally open and vulnerable with your partner? Can they handle it?Emotionally available people share and respect emotions.Emotionally unavailable people hide feelings, punish honesty, or block connection.If your partner can't sit with your emotions, the relationship's depth will be limited.5. How Do You Recharge — Alone or With People?Introverts often recharge alone.Extroverts recharge through social interaction.Knowing this prevents misunderstandings when one person needs space and the other wants connection.Ask: What helps you during stress — space, talking, or distraction?6. What Does Being Ready for a Relationship Mean to You?Readiness often means:Emotional healingFinancial stabilityClarity on what you wantYou can't force a casual relationship into a committed one if the other person doesn't want it.7. What Does Independence Look Like in a Relationship?Some feel safe with space, others with closeness.Independence is about boundaries — and boundaries build security, not distance.8. What Are You Still Healing From?Deep, healthy relationships require emotional work and often therapy. Without it, many people can't truly be emotionally available.Final ThoughtIf you want a lasting, meaningful relationship, you must:Ask real questions earlyKeep your heart openWork through your own traumasPractice honesty, even when uncomfortableWithout this, the relationship will stay on the surface — and surface connections break easily in hard times.My Video:  How to Get the Perfect Relationship? https://youtu.be/K9WIi04UiQMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Get-the-Perfect-Relationship.mp3

So many runners tell me they want to lose weight, get stronger, or train smarter—but they keep stalling because they're “not ready yet.” They want the timing to be perfect, their schedule to clear up, their motivation to kick in. But here's the truth: that day never comes. You don't suddenly wake up one morning feeling 100% ready to change your diet or run your best marathon. Readiness isn't something you wait for—it's something you create through action. Every small step you take, even if it's messy or imperfect, builds confidence and momentum. In this episode of Running Lean—“Stop Waiting to Feel Ready”—I'm breaking down why waiting keeps you stuck, why imperfect action is the key to progress, and how you can finally stop stalling and start moving toward your goals today. The post 297. Stop Waiting to Feel Ready appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

We're joined by two GenAI experts from AWS and DoiT to understand why GenAI POCs fail at production scale, how to evaluate LLMs, and how to approach GenAI production readiness. The discussion covers four GenAI workload migration patterns, AWS Bedrock's systematic migration framework, enterprise compliance challenges including HIPAA and GDPR requirements, and practical approaches to evaluating model performance across speed, cost, and quality.

The Air Force's commitment to generating a highly lethal force that is technologically superior, numerically sufficient, and flown by the most well-trained airmen in the world is the bedrock of deterring aggression in times of peace and prevailing in war. However, today's United States Air Force is the oldest, smallest, and least ready in its history. Facing the severely challenging global threat environment for the next decade and beyond, these shortfalls set the conditions for an existential national security crisis. Moreover, projected underfunding of the Air Force within the future years defense plan (FYDP) will exacerbate the service's decline. The service's FY 2025 budget request sought to divest 250 aircraft, while only procuring 91. The FY 2026 request seeks to divest 340 aircraft, while only acquiring 76. Anemic funding for operations and maintenance will only advance the downward trajectory of force readiness, taking already historic lows to levels once thought unfathomable. It is essential that the Trump administration and Congress reverse the service's decline in a capacity, capability, and readiness. The solution demands increasing the Air Force budget, while also shifting internal service funds from Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) into both procurement and operations and maintenance (O&M) accounts specifically aimed at re-establishing readiness to prevail in peer conflict. The Air Force's innovative capabilities are only relevant if procured in operationally significant quantities and flown by an exceptionally well-trained force. If the declines in the U.S. Air Force are excused or ignored, the human and material losses we will suffer in the next major conflict risk being significant. Defeat is a very real possibility. That is a price the nation cannot afford.

Today's Story: Collaborative Combat Aircraft

In this message from our Luke series, student and family minister Josh Brown preaches Luke 12:35–59 and calls us to live ready for the return of Jesus. Jesus' words, “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning,” frame the entire passage and define Christian readiness as both posture and perseverance. With vivid images of tucked robes and tended lamps, Josh shows how a ready heart trusts Christ's promise to return, and how daily dependence—through prayer, Scripture, worship, and fellowship—keeps faith burning bright. Readiness is not vague anticipation; it is attentive, active obedience now. Luke 12 moves from heart to hands. Jesus' parable of the faithful and unfaithful servants makes clear that none of us owns what we manage; we steward what the Master has entrusted to us. The blessed servant is the one the Master finds doing His will when He comes. That steady, ordinary faithfulness—discipling children, serving the church, giving generously, praying for friends, opening the Bible when no one sees—matters eternally. Jesus also issues a sober warning: the servant who assumes “my master is delayed,” mistreats others, wastes resources, and lives for self will face judgment when the Master returns at an unexpected hour. “Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required” is not a slogan but a summons to accountable stewardship. Josh also wrestles with one of Jesus' most bracing claims: He did not come to bring peace but division. Allegiance to the crucified and risen Lord will at times divide households and friendships because the peace of God comes only in Him, and following Him means dying to self and living by the Spirit. Yet the same Jesus promises true peace in Himself: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Real faithfulness is not gritting our teeth; it flows from union with Christ, who was perfectly faithful, “obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). We are not earning God's approval by our obedience; we obey because, in Christ, we already share His righteousness and are sealed by the Spirit. The passage closes with urgency. Jesus rebukes crowds who can read the weather but not “interpret the present time.” He urges reconciliation on the way to the judge, a picture of the Gospel's now-or-never gravity. Apart from Christ, we carry a debt of sin we cannot pay. “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). Scripture presses the claim of the present: “Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts” (Hebrews 3:15). Readiness is real only if it moves us to respond to Jesus now—repenting of sin, entrusting ourselves to His finished work, and stepping into faithful stewardship in whatever He has put in our hands. If you are drifting, distracted, or weary, let this sermon reawaken you to the joy and seriousness of living ready. If you are walking faithfully but feeling the cost, find courage in the One who overcame the world and serves His people at the table when He returns. And if you have never surrendered to Christ, hear His invitation today. The King is returning at an hour we do not expect. Will He find you ready? Open Luke 12:35–59 with us and learn how ready hearts trust His return, ready lives stay faithful, and ready souls respond now.

Episode Summary: America's ability to secure its interests, whether deterring conflict or fighting and wining, demands a robust Air Force. The current security environment will tolerate nothing less. The service has traditionally measured its prowess via capacity, capabilities, and readiness. The Air Force currently lags in each of these three areas. Want proof? The service's FY 2025 budget request sought to divest 250 aircraft, while only procuring 91. The FY 2026 request seeks to divest 340 aircraft, while only acquiring 76. It is essential that the Trump administration and Congress reverse the service's decline in capacity, capability, and readiness. In this episode, Lt. Gen. David Deptula, USAF (Ret.), JV Venable, and Robert “Otis” Winkler discuss these challenges and outline what needs to be done to reset the Air Force. JV just completed a major report on this topic, and the conversation centers around the top findings. The time for concerted action is now.
