Happy Southern Baptist Convention Eve! Over the next few days Southern Baptist Churches from around the country will come together in Indianapolis and will debate about key issues involving our churches. Recently Ben preached a sermon from Romans 14 and we thought it would be perfect to publish it on The Glass House. It is not uncommon for christians to be passionate about their positions and opinions and not agree with one another. We hope this episode encourages every listener to keep the most important things at the center: the resurrection of Jesus, the power of the Gospel, and the unifying grace that God gives to all of us.  If you would like more on this topic, a few Lifeway authors wrote an incredible book, World On Fire: Walking in the Wisdom of Christ When Everyone's Fighting About Everything. Check it out!

Ben Allen is a GP at Birley Health Centre, and Sheffield Clinical Director for Primary Care, with a special interest in elderly medicine and service improvement.Birley has bucked the national trend in patient satisfaction. Over the past two years while patient satisfaction nationally has declined from 68% to 38%, at Birley it has increased. He compares his initial impressions of Birley to the experience of riding a bike where all the components are high quality but they haven't been assembled particularly well.He realised that his first efforts to intervene were merely addressing the symptoms and not the underlying culture, so he started a process of self-education reading books by Patrick Lencioni, Jim Collins, Brene Brown, Simon Sinek and Nancy Kline for example. This led him to develop three main principles: finding and nurturing potential, team dynamics, and being purpose and values driven.He observes that “everybody has so much more to them than their professional role and their professional training.” The organisation needs a clear plan for how it is going to bring out the best in staff, including providing a mentor for each person, who has an ongoing day-to-day relationship with the individual.Most of his thinking on team dynamics draws on the work of Patrick Lencioni. It's firstly about creating an environment of psychological safety which allows people to voice their best ideas, and confess their mistakes without fear of censure. Secondly its about the quality of debate. Finally, if the first two have been done well, then people should be more prepared to commit to a decision, even if it isn't the one that they would have made personally.Ben has done less work on crystallising the purpose of the organisation than he has done on the other two principles, but he thinks that is a question worth asking all stakeholder groups, including patients. He observes that “we can often go to work with our own purpose” and that purpose may conflict with the goals of others. And in the absence of a larger purpose, the aims of individuals can boil down to “getting through the day.” It's only when you have that overarching purpose that you can ask “How are we doing?”Ben thinks that the type of leadership that the NHS needs is evolving. At present the principles he has outlined are not as understood and valued as they need to be. The ‘top down' model is not fit for the complexities of modern healthcare.Meetings have changed fundamentally at Birley since the start of the improvement programme. They no longer have meetings that are about conveying information, for which an email or whatsapp would do. Instead, team meetings are about engaging people, obtaining ideas, debating issues, and building consensus.Ben says there's lots left to do at Birley, but that he really does feel that it's a self-improving place now. Things Ben would like to see happen going forward include a “blurring of the boundaries between the practice team and the public”, more work on purpose and values, and rotating the leadership of meetings so that younger staff are involved.Ben feels that with increasing workload and declining staff numbers there is a real risk of changing things “out of desperation to make something different.” In his view, the right question is how do you sustain the people who are currently in primary care, while you train up the next generation of GPs? He also thinks that the nation needs a wider debate about the purpose of the NHS.In his role as Clinical Director for Sheffield he sees himself helping general practice to thrive. He is still working on the best way to achieve that. One of his approaches has been to get people from general practice with energy and ideas together in order to build solutions. Recently Ben has read ‘Reinventing Organisations' by Frederic Laloux. This charts the cultural journey from top down to purpose driven with self-managing...

Ben Burgis is a philosophy professor and the author of Give Them An Argument: Logic for the Left . He is host of the podcast "Give Them An Argument". Recently Ben published an article titled "Abolish Inherited Wealth". After a small but respectful Twitter exchange, I decided to record an episode to tell him why hes wrong rather than feud back and forth on Twitter for hours. See a link to his article below.

This episode I talk to Ben Galbraith of Blacksite Studio. Blacksite Studio produce pre painted laser cut MDF terrain for a number of tabletop war-game genres, from modern to historical & fantasy. Recently Ben and Connor pushed into model design in a line of sci fi resin minis, and even more recently they decided to put together the whole Jean Luc Package and give us a terrain, minis, rule set experience in the form of Dont Look Back, a horror film inspired cooperative skirmish game.  First and foremost it was great talking to Ben, again, I say it a lot but, I found him to be an open, honest, and engaging individual who I felt I could ask literally any question to and he would have given us his take on it. We have a wide ranging chat from Texas BBQ, where the chat opens, to Innovation, moral intent as a company, and the current state of the industry in regards to crowdfunding and its both positive and potentially possibly negative effects.  Secondly and finally if you havent heard of or check out Blacksite Studio then I encourage you to do so. Its not for everyone and it isnt a whim purchase, as I mention in the show but if you agree with Ben that you want great terrain to fit into a number of games you have and play, or want to play, then give it your consideration. I bought the Sundered Empire kit way back in April and it fills my Fantasy skirmish needs to a Tee. It gives hefty 2x2 but can easily scale up to 3x3 or 4x4. I love the terrain, the quality, and also…Fantasy skirmish terrain, thats that now, with a little flavor change from different scatter or pieces I pick up in the future I can continue to make it diverse and interesting.  You can check out Dont Look Back and other BSS stuff here: https://blacksitestudio.com I hope you enjoy getting to know Ben, as I did, and that you enjoy the show. 

I hope you all have had a good last few weeks and I am stoked to be sharing a conversation I had with the amazingly talented photographer, filmmaker and author Ben Moon. If you are at all interested in rock climbing, surfing or portrait photography there's a pretty good chance you have come across some of Ben's work before. Ben's ability and approach to storytelling and photography has led his work to feature in the highly regarded Patagonia catalogs for the last 17 years as well all over the world in various editorials and screens showing the beauty and authenticity of people challenging themselves in the outdoors. Recently Ben has released his first book titled Denali - A man, a dog and a friendship of a lifetime. The book at its core is a story of growth, resilience, love and connection that shares Ben's own deeply personal journey with colon cancer and his special friendship with his dog Denali. This book is easily one of the best I have read in the last two years for sure. In this episode Ben and I talk about how he first got into photography and filmmaking, his book Denali and the reason behind why he wrote it, his approach to storytelling, how surviving cancer has impacted his outlook on life, advice for photographers and filmmakers starting out today and so so much more.

Recently Ben had the opportunity to attend Oracle Open World and speak with some amazing HR leaders at companies doing business across the globe. This is one of the interviews from that event.

If you’re looking for a lesson in poetry and poetics then you came to the right podcast. Ben is a wealth of knowledge and wits, full of interesting tales and dry humor. Take a gander for yourself and enjoy :)Ben grew up in Houston, TX. He enrolled at the University of Texas, Austin (UT), in 1968 and has lived here ever since. In the 1970s he worked at the UT library system to finance his graduate studies while also publishing poems. During this time he traveled to Europe, Mexico, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal. For a while he was a busker on the drag across from the UT campus, reciting famous poems he committed to memory (which he can still do). In 1980 Ben took a break from his studies to start a small import company specializing in art and artifacts from the Himalayas, which helped subsidize his travels. While in New Delhi he met a Thai woman who later became his wife and mother of his two children. This break from his studies wound up lasting 35 years. Recently Ben returned to UT to receive another Bachelor of Arts in history, which was completed in 2017. He considers literature his real career and continues to write poetry.

Recently Ben got the opportunity to interview Matthew Sullivan on how his company QuantumRE, is helping people release the equity in their home using a system based on the blockchain (this is the same technology used by Bitcoin).

So you work at enterprise level. Lots of stake holders, lots of competition for time, need to deliver to multiple demands that ...POP up. All projects incur change over time, that’s the way of the world. Using a benefits driven approach to delivery rather than a process driven or methodology governed approach frees the team to think laterally, and be responsive to client demands. Agility is more than a project management approach, it’s a way of operation and culture that enables and manages rather than constrains change. Ben will unpick how a fluid agile team can be established and run within a constrained environment, AND deliver quality responsive services to a large organisation. Ben will present real world case studies and examples of how he has used agility cultured teams to deliver creative solutions to complex problems, without burning out the fun in our work. He will also demonstrate techniques on rapid modeling which can save you hours of labor over low yield tasks. All of which will give you the freedom to work more creatively and dynamically while meeting the highly regimented needs of your enterprise or Government clients.
