In this episode, Mike speaks with Dr Pamela MacRae, Professor of Ministry to Women and Ministry to Victims of Sexual Exploitation at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. With decades of experience in local church ministry and nearly twenty years teaching at Moody, Dr MacRae offers thoughtful insight on how preachers can communicate the Bible with clarity and care - particularly when speaking to congregations that are often more than half women.Pam reflects on the first time she taught the Bible, how she has grown as a communicator, and what bad habits she has worked to leave behind. She and Mike also discuss her chapter How Women Hear the Sermon from The Moody Handbook of Preaching, exploring the dynamics of how women engage with preaching and what opportunities and challenges that presents.The conversation also touches on a class she teaches called Pastoral Care of Women, which equips male pastoral students to preach and minister more thoughtfully to the women in their churches. She offers advice to male pastors and preachers - particularly those from complementarian settings - on how to serve the women in their churches with greater attentiveness and understanding.This episode is a valuable conversation for anyone serious about teaching the Bible faithfully to the whole church.Recommended resources: Shepherding Women in Pain: Real Women, Real Issues, and What You Need to Know to Truly HelpBeverly Hislophttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7944332-shepherding-women-in-pain  Worthy: Celebrating the Value of WomenBy Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher :https://elysefitzpatrick.com/book/worthy-celebrating-the-value-of-women/ Cheer Her On interview with Dr MacRae:https://open.spotify.com/episode/7HeHAKwRTwTYESbPres1bq?si=fc0f8cffa8764a78 Register for our next in person training event August 22-23, 2025 St Petersburg, Florida Calvary Chapel St. Petersburghttps://expositorscollective.org/gatherings/The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

The theories of unrestrained executive power guiding the Trump administration's assault on the administrative state and its attitude toward the federal judiciary draw on a far-right intellectual tradition.

Historian Antony Beevor says the world today resembles the Second World War in one important respect: "For decades, it seemed as though the characters of leaders would never again determine the course of events the way they did in World War II. Putin's invasion has changed that, and Trump, taking Putin as a role model, has, too." In this episode, the esteemed war chronicler talks about the unsettling reasons why the post-1945 order is unraveling.

Welcome to this podcast recording. Our special guest today is Nika Spaulding. Nika >> Hey, friends. Kay >> Welcome again, Nika. Nika >> Thanks Kay. Kay >> Nika is a frequent guest on our podcast and our videos, and we're just always so happy when you're able to join us. I'm particularly excited about this conversation today because you're going to be talking about asking questions like Jesus. And that just sounds so interesting to me. And as I was thinking about it, I thought there are a lot of people who could probably benefit from this. I mean, the first people I thought of were like Bible teachers or people who write curriculum or people discipling other people. Or maybe even parents or counselors. I mean that the more I thought about it, the longer the list got. I just kept thinking of almost everybody. And in any kind of capacity there are times that they want to teach other people and maybe they need to use more questions. Nika >> Yeah, I think you're exactly right. I mean, I started out studying this as a way to help, like, church leaders. And then the more I started studying, the more I thought that this is helpful to me as an aunt and as a parent and as really anyone who wants to love others. Well, I think we have to grow in this skill. And so, yeah, I think the list is very long. But it might be everyone. It could be everyone. Kay >> I'm kind of thinking that it is. I just hadn't gotten that far in my mind. I think I would have eventually gotten there because I just kept adding in small group leaders and, you know, just all sorts of people. So I think that's good. Well, tell me just briefly how you got interested in this topic. Nika >> Yeah, I think it was almost by happenstance. So I'm finishing my doctoral program and of course, you have to write a thesis at the end of your time there. And in the beginning I thought I would do stuff on you know, rhetoric in the ancient world, how we understand Bible reading in the ancient world, I thought about like all these, like, really niche things that I was like super nerdy right up my alley. I wrote a bunch of papers on literacy in the ancient world, like, all these things. And then I realized, you know, wow, that's neat. And it's really fascinating. I more and more thought, I want to create something that can help the church. I wanted to create a tool that does exactly what we were just saying, a tool that can help others. And really the impetus for it was a young woman that I've been discipling for probably 15 years came to me and said, “Hey, how do I disciple others?” And, you know, I kind of looked at it like, “Well, what's, you know, what's the other person going through?

In this timely prophetic alert, Robert shares a recent experience where the Lord clearly spoke to him: “Tell My people to check their roofs.” But He wasn't talking about shingles and tiles — He was speaking of spiritual covering.Are you truly under the covering of Jesus in this hour of shaking, storms, and spiritual warfare? Are you dwelling in the secret place? Is the canopy of His glory over your life, your home, and your heart?In this video, Robert reveals:• What it means to live under spiritual covering• How erosion, complacency, and battle fatigue can leave you vulnerable• The role of intimacy, prayer, and worship in staying protected• How to return under God's authority, truth, and glory• A powerful prayer to realign and re-cover your lifeDon't wait for the storm to expose the cracks in your covering — let God restore your "roof" now!Watch.

Aparna Chennapragada is the chief product officer of experiences and devices at Microsoft, where she oversees AI product strategy for their productivity tools and work on agents. Previously, she was the CPO at Robinhood, spent 12 years at Google, and is also on the board of eBay and Capital One.What you'll learn:1. How “prompt sets are the new PRDs” and why prototyping with AI is now essential for effective product development2. The three key characteristics of AI agents: autonomy (delegation of tasks), complexity (handling multi-step challenges), and natural interaction (conversing beyond simple chat)3. Why NLX (natural language experience) is the new UX, requiring deliberate design principles for conversational interfaces4. Why the PM role isn't dying in the AI era—it's evolving to emphasize tastemaking and editing5. How living “one year in the future” can be operationalized with programs like Microsoft's Frontier6. How even traditional enterprises can balance cutting-edge AI adoption with appropriate governance through dual-track approaches7.

In this episode, we call out the problems that have arisen as a result of adoption of and adherence to the Freebirth Society ideology while also holding space for a woman's legal and moral right to choose to have a Freebirth.Ultimately, this is about the need for leaders to act in integrity and for everyone to remember that rarely two truths exist in extremes. All choices are valid, however in order for them to be authentically empowered, they must be made with true informed consent and an informed risk assessment which is unlikely to happen if a birthworker has solely received a virtual training rooted in biases, hyperbole, and a lack of evidence, just as much as it's unlikely to happen with a fearful OB who is encouraging weekly routine ultrasounds and a 39 week induction.We unpack the overused and misused phrase “variations of normal” in order to delineate a few examples of what would actually be abnormal and a reason to seek additional support.Freebirth continues to be a valid choice, however women deserve to have the full scope of outcomes objectively presented to them in all fairness.Risk is inherently everywhere, and there will always be a mysterious element to loss, however the key is to walk into your pregnancy with a true sense of confidence and options rather than a false sense of one.Recommended resources:Free MOTR Questions Guide to Vet Your Birthkeeper/AttendantReddit, so you can be the judge of what's wrong with this organizationNathan Riley podcast episode featuring Kristine LauriaDr. Sarah Wickham's book “What's Right For Me”“Whose Body Is It” podcast episode featuring midwife Mary Lou SingletonSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

For four days in early May, India and Pakistan were on the brink of another war over the contested Kashmir, the mountainous territory that has witnessed waves of ferocious violence since partition in 1947. A ceasefire averted major hostilities, but did not establish lasting peace. There has never been a durable peace in Kashmir since India and Pakistan first went to war over its control in October 1947. In this episode, Anatol Lieven of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft traces the origins of one of the world's most intractable conflicts.  Recommended reading: Pakistan: A Hard Country by Anatol Lieven

Dmitry Zlokazov is the head of product at Revolut, the $45 billion fintech giant operating in over 50 countries, serving more than 50 million customers, and producing some of the world's top product leaders. Dmitry shares his hard-won lessons, contrarian org design principles, and day-to-day practices that power Revolut's relentless shipping velocity, culture of ownership, and unparalleled “wow” product experience.What you'll learn:1. Revolut's unique organizational approach, where “product owners” manage cross-functional pods as “local CEOs,” with genuine end-to-end ownership and hiring/firing power2. How a radical, ultra-flat structure enables more than 150 product owners to maintain founder-level quality and velocity across dozens of parallel launches3. How Revolut maintains quality while shipping hundreds of features across over 50 countries4. Why Revolut favors “raw intellect and hunger” over experience, and how internal transfers (including ex-engineers and ops managers) become the company's most successful product leaders5. How Revolut's founders review every single UI shipped, and why this founder detail obsession scales rather than limits innovation6. Their framework for launching new products—from ideation, validation, and first user cohort to rapid “algorithmization” and scaling across countries7.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) is joined by Jacob Swett of Blueprint Biosecurity to discuss far UVC technology - a specialized wavelength of UV light that kills airborne pathogens while remaining safe for humans. Jacob explains how widespread deployment of this technology in schools, hospitals, and public spaces could dramatically reduce respiratory diseases and prevent future pandemics, comparing our approach to air quality with the water sanitation revolution that eliminated diseases like typhoid. They discuss the economics of implementation (starting around $30 per student annually with costs likely decreasing), the historical reasons why this technology hasn't been widely deployed, and Blueprint Biosecurity's roadmap for increasing adoption from early users to eventual regulations similar to fire safety codes. –Full transcript available here: https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/killing-viruses-with-light-with-jacob-swett/ –Sponsor:  MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

In this episode, Bryan Nelson is back for another insightful conversation about the trucking and language laws, and today, he talks about English proficiency requirements for commercial drivers and recent legal and regulatory changes!   Here's What to Learn From This Episode: English Proficiency Requirements: Overview of 49 CFR 391.11, B2 emphasizes that drivers must read and speak English to interact with the public and understand road signs; historical enforcement aimed to be employer-based. Concerns raised by ACLU and EEOC about civil rights implications during 1997 proposed rulemaking. Recent Executive Actions: April 28 Executive Order 14286 mandates FMCSA to enforce English proficiency within 60 days; CVSA reinstates out-of-service criterion. Regulatory landscape shifts toward roadside inspections, raising concerns about subjective enforcement by officers across states, affecting consistency and compliance. Operational Risks & Compliance Strategies: Increased potential for fines (500 first offense, 1,000 subsequent) and business disruption due to English proficiency violations - influencing insurance coverages. Recommended strategies for carriers include proactive English training, updating compliance procedures, and monitoring regulatory developments closely to mitigate legal risks and business impacts.   About Bryan Nelson Bryan J.

What if friendship—not romance, not marriage—were the central relationship in your life?That's the question Rhaina Cohen asks in her book The Other Significant Others. And wow, do we love this book. David, TJ, and Elena sat down with Rhaina to talk about what it would mean to build a life around deep, committed friendship—and why our current relationship hierarchy (romantic > everything else) might be due for a rethink.Once you start centering friendship, it starts disrupting many other assumptions. We talked about: what it looks like to live near your friends, how parenting could look different, what happens when friends make commitments, when other people don't recognize those commitments, and whether secular folks should borrow a few ideas from monks.Join us and—if you haven't already—go read the book!About Our GuestRhaina Cohen is an award-winning editor for the NPR documentary podcast Embedded and the author of the national bestseller, The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center, which Trevor Noah described as "my new Bible."

A powerful question that unlocks self-awareness: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don't want?”2. Jerry's foundational equation for leadership success: practical skills + radical self-inquiry + shared experiences = enhanced leadership and resilience3. Why teams most often fail (hint: it's not lack of talent or strategy)4. How busyness often masks deeper issues of self-worth5. Why a “growth mindset” can be problematic6. The importance of legacy and what it means to live a meaningful life7. The role of AI in self-inquiry and how tools like ChatGPT can help uncover blind spots8.
