In the final message of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris teaches from Titus 3:1-8 and explores gentleness as part of the fruit of the Spirit. Gentleness is not weakness or passivity. It is Spirit-formed strength expressed through meekness, humility, and Christlike self-control. This message calls us to examine how we respond in conflict, correction, and difficult conversations. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to learn from His gentle and humble heart so that our lives reflect Him both inside the church and in the world. Series: Real Fruit | Date: May 31st 2026
In Week 4 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from Colossians 1:3-14 and explores faithfulness as part of the fruit of the Spirit. Through the lives of Epaphras, Tychicus, and Onesimus, we see that faithfulness is not just a belief we hold, but a life we live.This message calls us to finish what we have started, remain available for the work of God, and pursue reconciliation when things need to be made right. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to become people who are steady, trustworthy, and faithful in the places God has called us.Series: Real Fruit | Date: May 24th 2026
In Week 3 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from 1 Timothy 6:11-19 and explores goodness as a fruit of the Spirit. Goodness is more than appearing moral or being considered a “good person.” It is formed by God and revealed through the way we live.This message looks at a good conscience, good deeds, and a good reputation as evidence of Spirit-formed character. As followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect the goodness of God in our choices, our actions, and the way we represent Christ wherever we go.Series: Real Fruit | Date: May 17th 2026
In Week 1 of our Real Fruit series, Pastor Chris Padiath teaches from Galatians 5:16–26 and explores the true meaning of patience. Rather than being passive or reactive, biblical patience is formed by the Spirit through steadfast love and slowness in the face of anger.Through the lens of the Greek word “makrothumia,” this message shows how God models patience toward us and calls us to reflect that same character in our daily lives. As we learn to walk by the Spirit, patience becomes a visible fruit that shapes how we love, respond, and endure.Series: Real Fruit | Date: May 3rd 2026
This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Molly Roberts, Tyler McBrien, and Renée DiResta to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Meta-verse of Madness.” On Tuesday, a New Mexico jury reached a $375 million verdict against Meta after a seven-week trial that focused on whether the social media company knowingly harmed children's mental health and facilitated child sexual exploitation through its algorithms. And just before recording, another verdict came down in a jury trial in California about whether Facebook and YouTube are too addictive in a way that harms an individual plaintiff in that case. Several other similar civil cases are set to go to trial in the coming months. What do we make of these verdicts, and do they signal a turning tide against social media companies for the algorithms that make them both profitable and (potentially) addictive?“SAVE-ing Face.” President Trump and Republican congressional leaders went back and forth this week over a deal that would put forward a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, or at least less controversial parts of it, despite Trump's threats not to sign any pieces of legislation until Congress passes his SAVE America Act. Trump views the SAVE America Act as vindication for his criticisms of the 2020 Election, but Republicans in the Senate have hedged and resisted his calls to blow up the filibuster in order to pass it. Instead, they now appear to have a deal in place that will allow less controversial parts of the funding for DHS to go forward—and for the funding for the most controversial parts, particularly ICE and removal operations, to go forward through reconciliation on what is likely to be a party line vote, along with select chunks of that SAVE America Act. Why is Trump so determined to pass the SAVE America Act? And what does the compromise he now appears to have reached with Senate Republicans mean for its future?“Poly Wants a Crack-up.” Flight monitors, pizza place trackers, and Google Earth—the past few years have brought open source intelligence, better known as “OSINT,” into vogue. Accounts on X have racked up millions of followers by “monitoring the situation” for news events spanning from Russia's invasion of Ukraine to natural disasters. But this explosion of OSINT accounts has brought a wave of disinformation, and coincides with the growth of online prediction markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, whose bettors use OSINT to gain an advantage — and, at times, to manipulate the results. How has OSINT contributed to the online media landscape? And how has it hurt it?In object lessons, Tyler engages in some classic log-rolling with a recommendation of the new podcast, “Who Blew Up the Guidestones?” Molly digs even deeper into her collection of curiosities to find her vintage “Nuke ‘Em 'Til They Glow” hat. Scott expertly sidesteps sports gambling issues by distracting us with delicious baked good from Seylou. And Renée survives a demanding travel schedule by drinking a brandy Old Fashioned and brushing up on her knowledge of K-pop.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Brian From reflects on how an AI-generated “viral” photo reminds us to slow down, verify what we share, and resist outrage bait online. Then, a surprise detour into ’90s worship music becomes a meaningful prompt to remember God’s past faithfulness and let gratitude fuel the present. The hour closes with a challenge: personality tests don’t excuse a lack of spiritual fruit, and a lukewarm faith can be renewed when we return to prayer, repentance, and the hope of being made new in Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week in James 2, we're unpacking what real faith looks like.
In this conversation, Simón Sacal, CEO and co-founder of Solely, shares his journey toward building a company focused on creating healthy fruit snacks made entirely from real fruit. He explains the challenges of using real fruit in manufacturing, the importance building a reliable supply chain, and how the patented innovations that unlocked their ability to make indulgent yet nutritious products. He then shares vision for the future of the company, advice for aspiring food entrepreneurs, and how he believes that aligned incentives in the food system can lead to a better world.Takeaways:Solely aims to revolutionize fruit snacks by using only real fruit.The evolution of fruit snacks from their original candy origin.Using real fruit in manufacturing presents unique challenges.Organic sourcing is a priority, but making indulgent yet nutritious whole food snacks is their purpose.Eliminating waste in the supply chain is crucial for efficiency.Building strong relationships with farmers is essential for success, especially when using whole, fresh ingredients.Innovative manufacturing processes allow for shelf-stable fruit products without preservatives.Future growth will focus on expanding product lines while maintaining quality.Aspiring entrepreneurs should ensure their product solves a real problem.Business must be treated as a sustainable venture, not just a passion project.Sound bites:“So I have a very, very long story. I've been doing this for more than 25 years.”“We're designed to crave sweetness, and in nature the only place that you find sweetness is in fruit.”"We help farmers use 100% of what they grow.”“All the incentives are aligned and everyone makes money from each other's success.”“The process has to be very mild to the fruit. And then you need to manufacture it in a way that you don't need preservatives.”“It's all about the basics. This is not rocket science. The product has to taste amazing. It has to be priced in line with everything else. It has to communicate well to the consumer. It has to have a market fit.”“To make a product out of fruit, you need to create the whole supply chain and understand how to do it in a way that's profitable, that works for the supply chain, for the farmers, for you.”“At the end of the day, it's just a great product that checks all the boxes.”Links:Simуn Sacal on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sim%C3%B3n-sacal-05265715a/Solely - https://solely.com/Solely on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/solely-inc/Solely on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solelycleanfood/Solely on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/solelyfruit/Solely on X - https://x.com/solelyfruitSolely on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@solelyfruit…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radioChapters:03:00 Introduction to Soli and Its Mission06:00 Revolutionizing Fruit Snacks: The Soli Approach09:03 Challenges of Using Real Fruit in Production11:59 The Importance of Organic Sourcing14:54 Understanding the Complexity of Food Production18:05 The Role of Waste in Food Systems20:57 Building Relationships with Farmers24:02 Soli's Commitment to Sustainability and Health34:09 Supporting Farmers Through Sustainable Practices38:47 Innovative Manufacturing for Healthy Products46:51 Future Growth and Product Innovation52:41 Advice for Aspiring Food Entrepreneurs56:40 Personal Insights and Reflections62:19 Creating a Better World Through Aligned IncentivesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This week we begin our series on the fruit of the Spirit, diving into the deep and lasting joy that only comes from God's presence—not from circumstances. Joy is heaven's resistance to despair, and it becomes our strength in both good times and hard times.
Are you tired of performing, striving, and still feeling empty?In this video, I share my personal journey from burnout and spiritual exhaustion to learning how to truly abide in Christ—and what real, lasting fruit looks like when it's born from presence, not pressure.Jesus didn't call us to hustle harder. He called us to abide.Here's how to stop taping fake fruit to a dead tree and start living a life rooted in the Vine.
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike dives into Romans 7:4-6 and reminds us that we have died to the law so we can belong to Christ and bear fruit for God. He explains how, apart from the Spirit, we naturally produce either plastic fruit—fake and performative—or rotten fruit—sinful and destructive. But through the Spirit, we can bear real, life-giving fruit that reflects the character of Christ. It's not about trying harder; it's about abiding deeper.
Katie Eshuys, President of That's it, joins Lori Taylor on the Produce Moms podcast to discuss the brand's mission of getting more fruits and vegetables on every table. That's it is known for its fruit bars, which contain only two ingredients: fruit and fruit.
This week, legendary LA food writer Bill Esparza made waves when he dropped a scathing review of Villa's Tacos on his Instagram stories. The review had been building for weeks, if not more than a year, and its Kendrick-style intensity left all of Los Angeles talking. Father Sal is with us today to dive deep into the situation, including what led to it, what the review got right and wrong, and how Victor Villa and others in the LA food community responded. We attempt to answer the essential questions - was Bill's criticism fair? Did he go too far, was he too mean? And what does it mean that Bill's opinions on these tacos, seems to be so far removed from that of other key voices in the food world including Bill Addison, LA Taco and even Michelin Bib Gourmand. One housekeeping note, Bill's review took place on Instagram stories and is no longer available. Fear not, we've got your back. We took screenshots and the entire review can be found at our substack, LA FOODSTACK, linked in the show notes. On a lighter note, we're also joined on the podcast today by Duncan Parsons and Joe Wedd, the duo behind Creamy Boys, a New Zealand-style real fruit ice cream concept down in Hermosa Beach. I had a blast talking to these two rambunctious fellas about how they turned their lifelong friendship and passion for their hometown delicacy into a business concept that is kind of taking Los Angeles by storm. If you haven't had New Zealand style ice cream yet, I'm not sure you can really say your summer has even begun. So give this a listen, and then go get your Hokey Pokey on.

The story of Jesus and the fig tree can be confusing at first glance. Some might conclude that Jesus was upset that he didn't find anything to eat and he overreacted. As we studied this parable in Mark 11, we learned that Jesus was teaching us about the importance and expectation of producing good fruit in our lives as Christ-followers. He gives us precious insight into how our entire lives (not just our prayers) are affected by harboring unforgiveness! Jesus wants freedom for us today!

Produce Buzzers - A Podcast for Lovers of Fresh Fruits and Veggies
How well do you know your exotic fruits and veggies? Mother Nature has given us some strange and wacky fruits to delight us and sometimes disgust us, but either way, they are fascinating. Some of Mother Nature's weird creations have become commonplace for us in the modern world, like kiwifruit. But some exotic fruits have not made their way to our grocery store shelves here in the United States and are weird in name, appearance, and flavor. So today we will play a game we call “Which of these is a real fruit?” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/produce-buzz/support

Deep down, Christian men want to become fruitful disciples for Jesus. There is a sense of true purpose and accomplishment that goes beyond what we can do but is found in the more essential part, of what we become. How do we do this? How do we abide in Christ and become genuinely fruitful? Our religion cannot simply be doctrinal, it must become experiential. In this conclusion of the two-part series, Overtrek and Easy Target conclude the discussion on what it actually means to abide in Jesus and bear the sort of fruit that brings glory to God, including some practical ways to experience more of Jesus life in your every day. A special thank you to our friend Bruce Frye for the theme song, "Heart of a Champion."

Many men in the church have experienced a kind of soul fatigue when it comes to being "fruitful Christian men." Serving Christ seems to be more of a chore than a joy, and yet that is the opposite of what Jesus offered us. He promises us the fruit of joy, peace, and love. So why are we so weary and worn out from serving? First, we need to learn what it means to abide, and then we must understand what genuine fruit bearing actually means. In this episode, part 1 of 2, the C.O.D.E Crew discuss what it means to be true branches abiding in the vine of Jesus and learning to bear genuine fruit which glorifies God.

Fruit is the accumulation of our character, conduct, attitudes and actions. Rob Faucette leads us through John 15:4-8 outlining what it means to bear fruit and to abide in Jesus.
