"Gloves Off," delivered by Brothers Nick and Timothy, stresses the need for us to adopt a warrior-like mentality in our spiritual battles. Drawing from passages such as Psalm 144:1-2 and 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, the message encouraged us to engage in relentless, action-oriented faith. It highlights the importance of personal holiness, discipline, and the expectation of victory, regardless of the challenges faced. Referencing biblical figures like Joshua, Caleb, and David's mighty men, the sermon underscores the necessity of standing firm and fighting alongside our fellow brothers. Ultimately, it calls for a gloves-off approach, urging the saints to fight with unwavering determination and to support one another in our spiritual journey

In this episode, we break down a fascinating new study comparing three training styles — Strength & Conditioning, CrossFit, and HYBRID training — to see which one delivers the best results. The kicker? All groups did the same workouts in different formats. The results might surprise you.We also dig into why training age matters, the most overlooked factor in getting results, and why chasing two goals at once can backfire. From physique burnout to the optimal male body fat percentage, this one covers it all.And then… we tackle CrossFit's bold new campaign: F the Quick Fix. Is it a marketing win, a mistake, or both? We share our takes on the message, the backlash, and what it means for the fitness industry.Timestamps:0:00 A study where all groups did the same workouts but different formats2:17 Exercise science… what's realistic?3:35 So here's what happened7:20 The difference between the test groups9:00 HYBRID group improved overall fitness more than CrossFitters10:10 This was a very well-done study10:46 Training age plays a huge factor here12:03 Areas of improvement for this study12:55 Why this all matters15:41 The most underestimated part of training — enjoyment17:13 Chase two chickens, catch none?

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

From 2017 to 2022, the company received over 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the United States, which averages to about one incident every eight minutes.The investigation, based on thousands of internal documents, found that while Uber studied the issue and even developed potential safety features like in-car cameras and a feature to match female drivers with female passengers, the company chose not to implement these safeguards because they were concerned about their bottom line and potential lawsuits.Tesla Grants Musk $29 Billion in Stock to Keep ‘Elon's Energies Focused' AND Elon Musk Accused of Stiffing Small Businesses for Millions of Dollars, Causing Some to File for Bankruptcy AND Elon Musk Shares Shockingly Sexist Tweet About Woman Being Property.

Side note - I missed this quote from January FT article in the post-Zuck-on-Rogan “masculine energy” interview, but it would have been assholiest of the decade:“I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say ‘retard' and ‘pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it's a new dawn.”MM: In that vein - A long-running anti-DEI lawsuit could help companies defend themselves from reverse-racism claims DR MMHello Alice as goodliest of the week - take down that fucknut Stephen Miller and his fake Nazi manboys.Assholiest of the Week (MM):Alex Karp and the men who go to elite universities and say elite universities are bullshit manbabiesPalantir CEO says working at his $430 billion software company is better than a degree from Harvard or Yale: ‘No one cares about the other stuff'Karp went to Haverford, then Stanford for a JD where he met Peter Thiel (who also doesn't like elite education)This past spring, the company also notably established the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month, paid internship for high school graduates who may be having second thoughts about higher education. Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T. While this is reassuring, especially considering the amount of change we've navigated as a company recently, it wasn't a surprise to me that we fell short of our engagement goal.TRANSLATION: I'm not surprised so many of you think we suck, I've been here 5 years as CEO and I'm not awesome at my job… but hold your breath while I tell you how it's your faultThis note may also help you identify areas where your professional expectations might be misaligned with the strategic direction of this company.TRANSLATION: It's your faultI understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an "employment deal" rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.TRANSLATION: Fuck your job, this is a meritocracy now. A manly meritocracy.I understand that many may find the demands of your daily lives challenging and difficult. Elder care, job stress, child rearing challenges, economic uncertainty, community unrest, technology anxiety — the list can get long…We run a dynamic, customer-facing business, tackling large-scale, challenging initiatives. If the requirements dictated by this dynamic do not align to your personal desires, you have every right to find a career opportunity that is suitable to your aspirations and needs. That said, if a self-directed, virtual, or hybrid work schedule is essential for you to manage your career aspirations and life challenges, you will have a difficult time aligning your priorities with those of the company and the culture we aim to establish.TRANSLATION: We know your life is hard, but shut the fuck up about it because I don't care.WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS BOARD?Here are the “go hard or go home” board membersBill Kennard, lead "independent" director connected in 13 loops to other directors, been there for 11 years, who got his undergrad in communications from Stanford and worked at the FCC and was an ambassador - proving once again that “communications” isn't a qualification for communicating?Marissa Mayer - maybe this business thing isn't for you?

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett dives into an intriguing and unconventional topic: a mysterious interstellar object reportedly headed toward our solar system. Referencing the work of Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, Brett explores the possibility that the object—known as “3I Atlas”—may be alien technology rather than just a large comet. Loeb’s analysis highlights the object's unusual size, speed, and precisely timed trajectory, which suggest it may not be of natural origin. According to Loeb, the object will make a close approach to the sun on October 29th, potentially using the sun’s gravity for a maneuver. Brett shares his fascination, joking that the object might be responding to Earth's century of radio transmissions—or even his long-standing jokes about space. He discusses the potential of using NASA’s Juno spacecraft to intercept the object in 2026 and encourages listeners to stay curious. What starts as a space oddity turns into a fun and thought-provoking segment blending science, humor, and speculation. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

On this episode, Nathan Goodman interviews political theorist Jacob Levy about the rule of law and its tensions with modern immigration enforcement. Drawing on his 2018 article, “The rule of law and the risks of lawlessness,” Levy explains that the rule of law requires laws to be general, predictable, and applied equally. Referencing thinkers like Montesquieu, Fuller, Hayek, Oakeshott, and Shklar, Levy argues that immigration control often violates these principles, especially when it involves militarized policing, extrajudicial punishment, and fear-based governance, which ultimately threatens both civil liberties and democratic institutions.Dr. Jacob T. Levy is Tomlinson Professor of Political Theory and associated faculty in the Department of Philosophy at McGill University. He is the coordinator of McGill's Research Group on Constitutional Studies and was the founding director of McGill's Yan P. Lin Centre for the Study of Freedom and Global Orders in the Ancient and Modern Worlds. He is a Senior Fellow at the Niskanen Center. He is the author of The Multiculturalism of Fear (Oxford University Press, 2000) and Rationalism, Pluralism, and Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2014).If you like the show, please subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tell others about the show!

Episode Summary:What happens when artificial intelligence is used to simulate the voice of a beloved spiritual teacher—and that voice is presented as a channelled message?In this episode, Tatiana opens a gentle but clear-hearted inquiry into the ethics of AI-generated spiritual experiences, reflecting on a growing trend she's observed: AI being used to simulate departed wisdom figures—sometimes even within a sales funnel.Referencing a public example involving the simulated voice of Ram Dass, Tatiana invites us to pause and consider what discernment looks like in this new era of spiritual technology.This episode is not a takedown. It's an inquiry—into reverence, remembrance, and what it truly means to listen for the sacred.

Prepare for game-changing AI insights! Join Noelle Russell, CEO of the AI Leadership Institute and author of Scaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution. Noelle, an AI pioneer, shares her journey from the early Alexa team with Jeff Bezos, where her unique perspective shaped successful mindfulness apps. We'll explore her "I Love AI" community, which has taught over 3.4 million people. Unpack responsible, profitable AI, from the "baby tiger" analogy for AI development and organizational execution, to critical discussions around data bias and the cognitive cost of AI over-reliance.Key Moments: Journey into AI: From Jeff Bezos to Alexa (03:13): Noelle describes how she "stumbled into AI" after receiving an email from Jeff Bezos inviting her to join a new team at Amazon, later revealed to be the early Alexa team. She highlights that while she lacked inherent AI skills, her "purpose and passion" fueled her journey."I Love AI" Community & Learning (11:02): After leaving Amazon and experiencing a personal transition, Noelle created the "I Love AI" community. This free, neurodiverse space offers a safe environment for people, especially those laid off or transitioning careers, to learn AI without feeling alone, fundamentally changing their life trajectories.The "Baby Tiger" Analogy (17:21): Noelle introduces her "baby tiger" analogy for early AI model development. She explains that in the "peak of enthusiasm" (baby tiger mode), people get excited about novel AI models, but often fail to ask critical questions about scale, data needs, long-term care, or what happens if the model isn't wanted anymore.Model Selection & Explainability (32:01): Noelle stresses the importance of a clear rubric for model selection and evaluation, especially given rapid changes. She points to Stanford's HELM project (Holistic Evaluation of Language Models) as an open-source leaderboard that evaluates models on "toxicity" beyond just accuracy.Avoiding Data Bias (40:18): Noelle warns against prioritizing model selection before understanding the problem and analyzing the data landscape, as this often leads to biased outcomes and the "hammer-and-nail" problem.Cognitive Cost of AI Over-Reliance (44:43): Referencing recent industry research, Noelle warns about the potential "atrophy" of human creativity due to over-reliance on AI. Key Quotes:"Show don't tell... It's more about understanding what your review board does and how they're thinking and what their backgrounds are... And then being very thoughtful about your approach."  - Noelle Russell"When we use AI as an aid rather than as writing the whole thing or writing the title, when we use it as an aid, like, can you make this title better for me? Then our brain actually is growing. The creative synapses are firing away." Noelle Russell"Most organizations, most leaders... they're picking their model before they've even figured out what the problem will be... it's kind of like, I have a really cool hammer, everything's a nail, right?"  - Noelle RussellMentions:"I Love AI" CommunityScaling Responsible AI: From Enthusiasm to Execution - Noelle Russell"Your Brain on ChatGPT" - MIT Media LabPower to Truth: AI Narratives, Public Trust, and the New Tech Empire - StanfordMeta-learning, Social Cognition and Consciousness in Brains and MachinesHELM - A Reproductive and Transparent Framework for Evaluating Foundation ModelsGuest Bio: Noelle Russell is a multi-award-winning speaker, author, and AI Executive who specializes in transforming businesses through strategic AI adoption.

Cheryl Pope is an interdisciplinary visual artist who questions and responds to issues of identity as it relates to the individual and the community, specifically regarding race, gender, class, history, power, and place. Her practice emerges from the act and politics of listening, and recently introduces a novel material to explore the artist's memories. Referencing the familiar repertoire of the French Post-Impressionist, Intimist, and Imagist paintings, Pope recreates deeply personal recollections that cinematically compose the silent complexities of beautiful and tragic oscillations between love and loss in our everyday lives. Images of couples are drawn from memory, referencing the artist's own relationships and moments of disconnect, anxiety, and desire, while beach scenes depicting a mother and child accentuate a tender stillness of caregiving. In these scenes, the figures exist in a nest of choreography–a rotating stage of mystery, tragedy, and poetry of day-to-day living with feelings of presence and absence woven throughout.     Pope (b.1980, Chicago, IL) received her MA in Design (2010) and BFA (2003) from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago, IL, where she is an Adjunct Professor.  Pope has had recent solo exhibitions at moniquemeloche, Chicago, IL (2022, 2019); The Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS (2022); Rockford Art Museum, Rockford, IL (2019); Galleria Bianconi, Milan, Italy (2019); Andres Guerrero Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2018); and Fort Gansevoort, New York, NY (2017). Notable group presentations include Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI (2023); The FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY (2023 2021); Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY (2023); Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Kalamazoo, MI (2022); Weinberg/Newton Gallery, Chicago, IL (2022); Skin in the Gamecurated by Zoe Lukov, Chicago, IL (2022); Fountainhead, Miami, FL (2021); Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA (2021); Virginia MOCA, Virgina Beach, VA (2021); and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL (2020). Pope's work will be included in the upcoming group exhibition Get in the Game: Sport and Contemporary Culture at SFMoMA in 2024. Pope's work is in the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, FL; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; UBS Art Collection, New York, NY; Joan Flasche Artists Book Collection, Chicago, IL; Seattle Art Museum, WA; Honolulu Museum of Art, HI; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; Poetry Foundation, Chicago, IL; DePaul University Art Museum, Chicago, IL; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD; United States Embassy, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; The Jackson West Memorial Hospital, Miami, FL; and The Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS.

1. Introduction to the Theme: Superhuman Selling Collaboration with Elyse Archer: The focus on superhuman selling and celebrating personal/professional evolution. Not everyone celebrates your progress, and that's a sign you're on the right track. 2. Redefining Winning in Sales and Business Moving beyond tactical changes to deeper transformation (“changing your source code”). Three pillars of true winning: Alignment, energy, and identity. 3. What “Superhuman” Really Means Clearing misconceptions: It's not about superpowers. Referencing pop culture (Superman old and newfE movies) as a light-hearted segue. Emphasis on authenticity: Shedding the mask, stopping the act, and remembering your true self. 4. The Sales Shift: From Forcing to Attracting Moving away from scripts, tricks, and hacks. Selling becomes about inner frequency, presence, and fully believing in yourself. Transition from chasing prospects to attracting them. 5. The Crucial Difference: Identity vs. Mindset Mindset is not the main lens—identity is. If you're still hustling or trying to be liked, you “leak energy” and repel prospects. The exhaustion of wearing a false persona. 6. Personal Growth Analogy: The Lobster Story Lobster's uncomfortable shell as a metaphor for outgrowing your former identity. The necessity (and discomfort) of shedding what no longer fits to allow for new growth. 7. The Identity Upgrade and Its Effects Upgrading identity causes a sudden, noticeable shift (“snap into place”), not just incremental change. Importance of alignment: Doing the necessary work from a genuine place rather than effortful striving. Referencing Yoda and The Matrix: Moving from trying to simply doing—making selling second nature. 8. The Challenges of Transformation Acknowledgment that the journey isn't easy or always positive. Your nervous system and old connections may resist your change. Social consequences: Some friends may distance themselves or subtly wish for your failure. 9. Emotional Realities of Growth The temptation to shrink back to your former self for comfort and acceptance. Powerful encouragement to resist this temptation (“Don't you dare”). The discomfort of growth as proof of real progress (“receipt that you're doing it right”). 10. The New Paradigm: Becoming the Win Shifting from chasing external wins to embodying the win internally. Your state of being (sale), presence (pitch), and alignment (close) are key to sustainable success. Letting go of “faking it,” and selling from wholeness rather than lack. 11. Support and Next Steps Recognizing and validating listeners who are navigating their own shifts. Teaser for something new and exciting coming soon in partnership with Elise Archer. Share the episode with others going through their own transformation and stay tuned for upcoming announcements.

Deconstruction is the process of dismantling previously held beliefs which begins with the self as the final authority. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar warn that this posture can lead to a rejection of truth and, ultimately, to turning away from God. Many begin deconstructing in response to frustrations with the modern evangelical church, but in doing so, they sometimes discard core doctrines of the faith. The guys emphasize that Christianity doesn't promise happiness, but righteousness. When the gospel is altered to appeal to comfort or culture, it creates false converts who have a false sense of assurance. The path is narrow; following Christ is not easy. While it is good for believers to examine their beliefs, that examination must be built on the foundation of Scripture. Deconstruction often strays from this by starting with self rather than God. The guys make a distinction between deconstruction and honest doubt—doubt that humbly seeks truth in God's Word. Much of today's church culture has endorsed blind faith or discouraged critical thinking. As a result, people don't walk away because they think too much—they walk away because they haven't thought enough, or they've thought apart from Scripture.The guys note that many who deconstruct focus on isolated issues and fail to see the bigger picture. Faith isn't about having all the answers; sometimes it's simply trusting that God does. Referencing 1 John 2:19, the guys remind listeners that leaving the faith doesn't bring freedom. Even John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus, still questioned near the end of his life. The hope isn't in the strength of our faith but in the strength of Christ—the object of our faith.Doubt is often tied to unmet expectations. As the guys point out, fulfillment is found in Christ alone. We don't resolve our doubts through deconstruction; we bring them to Jesus. Our hearts choose what to believe and our minds follow. Seeing the beauty of Christ realigns our thoughts. Faith is not abstract; it is grounded in the truth of the gospel and the Word of God. Scripture wasn't given just for information—it was given to transform us. The guys discuss the role of modern culture, particularly social media, in shaping beliefs. The church has a discipleship problem; people attend on Sunday but are immersed in worldly rhythms by Monday. To the deconstructionist, the guys ask: what are your daily habits? Be honest about how you're being shaped. Ask your questions, but ask them in the presence of God, with Scripture open. God is real. He is the prime reality. Run to Him—not away.Send us a textThanks for listening!

On this final episode of Season 5, I look at the topic of Statism. Despite using that term in the past, I wanted to do a deeper dive into Statism - the idolatry of the civil government. Referencing works such as Idols For Destruction and Identity and Idolatry, I discuss what Statism is, what it looks like, and how to respond to it. I also play a recent clip from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani regarding government-run grocery stores as a perfect example of Statism. Ultimately, the answer to Statism is not separatism, or staying removed from politics/civics, but the word of God and the good news of Jesus Christ.

Greg and Jen tackle the difficult stage of grief that immediately follows the initial tragedy.  Referencing a very recent tragedy, the Kerrville, TX flood, Greg shares some truths about walking through one of the most difficult things a human will walk through, the day after loss.  In this very candid episode, Greg gets very raw with how it feels when tragedy strikes and how to help others going through a difficult time.

Pastor Mike Massey dedicates this episode to those affected by the Kerrville and Camp Mystic tragedies, acknowledging the deep pain and grief while reminding listeners that thousands, even millions, are praying for them. He encourages the hurting to know that God is still in control, even when circumstances seem unbearable, and that God's love surrounds them.Pastor Mike shares his own story of loss, having lost a daughter and a son, and how God used Philippians 4:6–7 to bring him peace: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” He emphasizes that while scars remain, God can fill the holes in our hearts and give us hope of reunion in heaven, where there is no more pain or tears.He reminds believers that tragedies often shift our focus from earthly worries to what truly matters: relationships, faith, and eternity. In the Bible, Job's friends tried to place blame, but true comfort came in simply being present. Likewise, Pastor Mike urges us to love on those who are hurting with no magic words—just prayer, presence, and support.Referencing the book A Future and a Hope by John Corson, who also experienced profound loss, Pastor Mike highlights how pressing into Jesus rather than turning away in pain leads to healing. He cautions against shaking a fist at God in anger, reminding us that Jesus is there with open arms, ready to love and heal.He also challenges listeners to consider whether they are truly reborn in Christ or simply “churched but not changed.” Pastor Mike describes his own transformation at age 33, moving from a casual faith to a real, saving relationship with Jesus. He urges anyone listening who has not been reborn spiritually to make today the day of salvation, quoting Romans 10:9: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”As he closes, Pastor Mike calls for forgiveness toward those who might be blamed for tragedies, warning that bitterness and unforgiveness can lead to broken relationships and personal destruction. He encourages everyone to follow God's example of forgiveness.Pastor Mike shares how this tragedy hits close to home, affecting close friends, coworkers, and his community. He stresses that the message is not about him but about Jesus, forgiveness, hope, and being there for one another. He urges everyone listening to lean into God's promises and pray for peace that transcends understanding, even through unimaginable pain.If you have not yet accepted Christ, Pastor Mike pleads that today is the day: life is a vapor, tomorrow is not promised. Jesus offers salvation freely if you confess Him as Lord and believe. Through all the heartbreak, Pastor Mike closes with a prayer for God's peace and comfort for all who are suffering, reminding them that God never wastes pain and that He is always ready to embrace us with His unconditional love.

In a compelling new interview, Alan Skorski sat down with Dr. Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, to unpack two major developments: the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and the troubling victory of Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor. Dr. Diker expressed deep skepticism over Iran's intentions regarding the ceasefire, describing it as a classic case of Hudna or Taadiya — temporary Islamic ceasefires aimed at rearming and regrouping. “Iran's top priority is survival,” Diker explained. “If that means pretending to capitulate to President Trump, they will do it. But make no mistake — they will recalibrate, resupply, and reenergize for the next round.” Diker also commented on President Trump's recent remark, where he suggested that neither Iran nor Israel “knew what the F*** they were doing.” While acknowledging the strong support this administration has shown for Israel, Diker warned that such moral equivalency sends a dangerous message to Iran's ruling Mullahs. Turning to the rise of Zohran Mamdani, Diker issued a stark warning about the “decades-long Islamist penetration into America.” He views Mamdani's primary victory as the fruit of years of strategic planning by pro-Hamas and Palestinianist-aligned groups operating in the United States. Referencing a January 2025 report, Dr. Diker emphasized that while Israel has become a formidable regional force, it is now facing what he calls an “eighth front” — legal, political, media, and social warfare launched from Western democracies, especially within the U.S. and Europe. Diker also addressed concerns about President Trump's recent Middle East tour, which notably excluded Israel. He dismissed the criticism, explaining that Trump is pursuing a “dual-track” policy that strengthens ties across the region without compromising the U.S.–Israel relationship. Trump's diplomatic efforts have already borne fruit, with historic financial investment pledges: $600 billion from Saudi Arabia $1.2 trillion from the United Arab Emirates And a custom aircraft gifted by Qatar to serve as the next Air Force One. Dr. Diker's warnings are clear: The threats facing Israel and the U.S. are increasingly interconnected — and the battlefront now extends beyond missiles and borders to include ballots, media, and the courtroom.

At today's Holy Communion Service, Pastor Yomi Badejo-Okusanya brought a timely word titled “The Narrow Option.” He challenged us to reflect on the life of true discipleship — one that doesn't follow the crowd but chooses the narrow gate that leads to life (Matthew 7:13–14 CEV, MSG, Easy). It's not always the popular path, but it is the one that brings transformation and eternal reward. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:17, we were reminded that in Christ, we are made new, called to live differently. Pastor Yomi then expounded on the unshakable love of Christ as outlined in Romans 8:35–39 NKJV, assuring us that no trial, power, or circumstance can separate us from His love once we choose the narrow path.

So with news articles and headlines about how folks with ADHD need to get off their meds or go outside or be 'cured', there's something of a big misunderstanding and gaps in perspectives on ADHD and what it actually means. Including our shared values as a real ADHD culture, especially around how people or authority figures will relate to us. David and Isabelle describe some of the shared values in neurodivergent or ADHD culture, including ideas around masking, disclosing, lateral thinking, and questioning authority--and whether you believe that others, particularly those in power, will help you or understand you. Exploring many aspects of the neurodivergent community--and how groups form--ADHDers (more likely than the average bear) identify as members of LGBTQ+ communities, members of nontraditional or non-dominant faith groups, entrepreneurs, tech-friendly folx, and members of the military, to start. From recognizing that there are stages and phases to feeling like you can both belong and be unique, to the power of community in developing a sense of self-esteem, the need to have metacognition (or an understanding of WHY a thing is or how it works for you). --David starts by naming that within a neurodivergent or ADHD culture, there are shared values. And what we believe might be impacted by our approach to masking and our context—did we have to mask a lot? Do we need masking or not? But it also asks us: do we believe that people will help us? That schools will help us? That people with power or systemic power will support us or understand us?  David doesn't think that trust in these systems is high in the ADHD population. A lot of people don't feel like they can trust the system and it might be why we don't disclose, we don't share, we don't ask. We are a subgroup, but we are not substandard. Lots of wars being waged on ADHD, and that entire perspective ignores the things that are important. Since David joined Eye to Eye years ago and joined the ND community, he watched graduation rates go up, he'd give talks in a room and ask “who has adhd?” And no one would raise their hand. “Does it feel wrong to be asked?” And now when you talk about it in a group, people raise their hands right away. There is the good work. There is a cultural war on ADHD. Isabelle names that one of the strengths of ADHD, which is important to include in any future articles, is that we think ‘creatively,' also known as lateral or divergent thinking. We don't necessarily follow a linear thought process and skip around  think laterally or divergently. For her fellow AuDHDers, Isabelle recognizes that she does want clarity and often tries to go back to a linear though process to make sure she's understanding something clearly. But in general, the lateral thinking—lends itself to questioning authority, taking multiple perspectives, playing devil's advocate, which doesn't necessarily mean that people feel comfortable sharing this. There's a larger percentage of us that identify as queer or LGBTQ+ communities, nonbinary, gender fluid—there's also a larger percentage of us that its int he military, tech community, entrepreneurs. We tolerate risk differently. David names that this allows us a different way of recognizing our needs. If the rest of the world tells you something should meet your needs but it doesn't, you're going to maybe go back to the drawing board and start to think about things a little differently. You may be a more natural out of the box thinker, because of a lack of neural pruning. More doesn't mean better, and it doesn't mean worse. It's not a a hierarchy. Just acknowledging it exists gives people a place to belong. Isabelle describes the stages of building a group—we first debate if we want to join, we norm and create a share a set of values and create a cohesion, and then the strength of the group's cohesiveness is tested and retested with storming and questioning and then you come to the place where you are both an individual and belong, that both can coexist dynamically. Even in Isabelle's own process of joining this group of neurodivergence, when she cried at the mailboxes with David, she is feeling this with the autistic side of her, and she's seeing it everywhere and she deeply wants to belong, and then she's questioning or noticing the differences, and then she's cozy in being different and yet belonging. David names how important self esteem is for us; and we can't really develop self esteem alone, it helps you to see others who get it and can resonate with you. Three most important factors: self esteem, ability to advocate for your needs, and metacognition (understand we do what we do). You shouldn't have to try so hard to ‘fit into' a culture, it should be more natural. Isabelle names how metacognition, or changing your operating instructions, gives you a chance to reframe your own history, your present and your plans, and your needs are different than what you realized. Referencing the NYT article about ADHD meds—if you have no concept of what medication is doing for you or connecting with your medication, it's like you're fueling yourself up with a really good fuel source and you have no direction to put it in. David wants a formalized response to the NYTimes article. A formal round table. The strengths of ADHD — see Dr. Holly White's work at the University of Michigan (Scientific American article)Divergent or lateral thinking - probably most commonly called "brainstorming," it's when you generate multiple ideas, applications, solutions, problems, and hop around instead of just focusing on one answer--see this interesting guide from the University of Texas at Austin that helps teachers learn how to ENCOURAGE divergent thinking in their students.  How divergent thinking is connected to creativity (study)As well as addressing self esteem and practicing self-advocacy, work with ADHD means developing:Metacognition — thinking about your thinking, or why you do what you do. It's like understanding you've been handled incorrect or inapplicable instructions. Knowing why you need an accommodation and why it helps. It involves an awareness as well as an ability to regulate/choose a strategy (eg. changing how you study for a particular test).

Jason Fitz--with J&J on Stephen A. Smith using crime stats to hammer Memphis and referencing Jimmy Butler

In this inspiring episode, Baylor Barbee dives deep into the significance of consistency in achieving long-term success. Referencing a powerful quote from his friend Lamonte Harris, CEO of Prominent Sports and Entertainment, Baylor challenges the quick-fix mindset and emphasizes the value of steady, persistent effort. Baylor highlights the difference between superficial success and deep-rooted achievements. Using the metaphor of growing bamboo and building skyscrapers, he illustrates the need for developing a strong foundation before visible success emerges. This episode encourages listeners to focus on their journey rather than comparing themselves to others and underscores the importance of resilience and long-term dedication. The secrets to achieving monumental success are patience, strong fundamentals, and a determination to stay the course amidst challenges. Key Takeaways: Consistency often goes unnoticed until significant change occurs. Sustainable success requires patience and the development of a strong foundational base. Everyday consistency in efforts can lead to extraordinary long-term results. External validation may take time; internal fulfillment should drive perseverance. Observing others' quick successes should motivate rather than discourage longer journeys toward greater goals. Notable Quotes: "Consistency looks like nothing until everything changes." "You can only grow as high as how low your roots are." "If you can go to bed at night and look yourself in the mirror and say, look, I gave my absolute all today, then you should be able to sleep good." "I was overdrafting just to put gas in my car, just to be able to go talk for free." "Your journey is at the end of the track."

In this thought-provoking and impassioned talk, Rabbi Gartner shares a bold and deeply spiritual perspective on exile, redemption, and the Jewish mission in the world. Drawing on the timeless stories of Ruth, Elimelech, Naomi, Boaz, and King David, Rabbi Gartner unpacks what he calls "the plan"—a path from exile to redemption rooted in Torah, self-sacrifice, and spiritual courage. Referencing modern commentary and timeless Torah truths, Rabbi Gartner explores:

Jack Posobiec is back to discuss all the latest threats facing America's future. They discuss the Ukraine-Russia war, NATO's potential involvement, and Vladimir Putin's leadership. Posobiec shares insights from his recent trips to Poland and Hungary, discussing the geopolitical dynamics and rising nationalism in Europe. The conversation also delves into U.S. fiscal policies, with criticism of the budget bill from both Rand Paul and Elon Musk. Referencing historical figures like Pol Pot and Chairman Mao, they discuss the threat of radical left wing movements. Looking ahead to the midterms, Posbiec and Savage discuss how the Administration's current actions may impact the midterm elections.

“This is fantastic!” Jason Greer reacts to the latest CPI data. Companies haven't been passing tariff costs to consumers as much as feared, he says, and seems enthusiastic about potential trade resolutions. “Fundamentally, the economy is still really strong,” he adds. Referencing conversations he's had with CEOs, he says the workforce is “stabilized” and labor remains relatively strong.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In Season 3, Episode 31 of Altered State, Zak "RedPill78" Paine and Jordan Sather dive deep into the energetic undercurrents and psychological warfare shaping current events. They explore Trump's conviction not as an end, but as a frequency weapon designed to generate fear, distraction, and emotional dissonance across the collective consciousness. Referencing numerology and long-form comms, the hosts point out that the timeline we're witnessing may be following a calculated 17-year cycle of transformation. Zak and Jordan examine how Trump's moves, past and present, fit into this pattern, offering theories on strategic optics, controlled chaos, and spiritual awakening. They touch on the manipulation of language, symbols, and predictive programming, inviting listeners to think beyond the surface of mainstream headlines. The episode also offers a sobering analysis of how certain events may be designed to fracture group unity and keep humanity in a reactive state. With a mix of grounded commentary and esoteric insight, this episode urges listeners to maintain emotional sovereignty and spiritual clarity as the storm intensifies.

Referencing historical pandemics like cholera, Hong Kong flu, and COVID-19, Dr. Evans illustrates how slashing programs such as PEPFAR ($6 billion), Ryan White (part of HRSA's $1.7 billion cut), and refugee health ($2 billion) dismantles global disease surveillance and response systems. These cuts, he warns, could allow outbreaks in regions like Central Africa to spread to American cities, overwhelming hospitals and disrupting economic stability. Dr. Evans critiques the politicization of health policy, including Medicaid reductions and attacks on evidence-based HIV initiatives, which exacerbate poverty and disease spread. Despite these challenges, he finds hope in humanity's ability to unite across divides, urging physicians to frame global health investments as personal and economic protection for their patients. With another pandemic likely within five years, this episode empowers physicians to advocate for resilient public health systems.Three Actionable Takeaways:Connect Global to Local Risks – Educate patients that funding global health programs like PEPFAR prevents diseases from reaching their neighborhoods, ensuring hospital access.Emphasize Economic Stability – Highlight how public health cuts threaten financial markets and personal 401(k)s by causing pandemic-driven instability, advocating for prevention.Push for Evidence-Based Policy – Counter divisive rhetoric by promoting programs like Ryan White to community members, emphasizing their role in community health.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In this lesson to the youth, Diondre Hensley speaks on how God makes each and every one of us for a purpose. Referencing and drawing on themes coming from Proverbs 16:4, Hensley hopes to inspire Christians and non Christian's alike to recognize they have value in Gods plan and are loved and were made intentionally with a purpose and are apart of the will of God.   Video: 2025 Equipped Workshop 4-26-25 - "YOU WERE BORN FOR A PURPOSE"- Diondre Hensley - YouTube Duration 38:39

Beware of bravado that masks a lack of confidence.

Aarti Sarwal, MD, FAAN, FNCS, FCCM, professor of neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System, explores the nuanced intersection of neurology and critical care, offering practical insights for clinicians across disciplines. Dr. Sarwal shares her perspective on the unique challenges of managing neurocritically ill patients, particularly when impairment presents challenges in administering a neurologic examination. She emphasizes that “the brain is the barometer of critical illness,” urging clinicians to prioritize daily neurologic evaluations and integrate neuromonitoring even in non-neurologic ICU populations. Listeners will gain an overview of tools such as continuous EEG, transcranial Doppler, emboli monitoring, and multimodal neuromonitoring platforms, including the role of neuro-ultrasound in expanding point-of-care capabilities. This episode also highlights the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and a shared decision-making model that extends across the continuum of care—from early ICU admission to post-discharge recovery. Listeners will appreciate Dr. Sarwal's reflections on neuroprognostication and the ethical dimensions of care withdrawal, particularly the danger of therapeutic nihilism in patients whose outcomes are uncertain. Referencing a 2023 review she coauthored (Crit Care Med. 2023;51:525-542), Dr. Sarwal outlines a practical framework for neuromonitoring that integrates structural, electrical, vascular, and metabolic insights. This conversation provides a timely and inclusive look at the future of neurocritical care—where technology, teamwork, and training converge to support better patient outcomes.

Isabelle and David talk 'stimming'-AKA "Self-stimulating behavior": what is this word, where does it come from, and what does it mean to 'stim'? Perhaps spoken of more in the autism community, stimming applies to ADHD also, and can connect to not just how we use sensory inputs as ballasts or balance systems, but also unique indicators of a ADHD culture of our own. David and Isabelle dig deep with some adorable sneezes, more on the ballast systems of ships, and the tail expressions of animals along the way.----David and Isabelle describe how cat and dog tails are completely different in indicating their state. David's cat was so still with just the tip of its tail bobbing back and forth, and David pointed out that that's how you can tell a cat is happy. Which is the exact opposite of how you can tell a dog is happy, with an exuberantly wagging tail. And maybe this relates a little bit to stimming, in that someone might interpret Isabelle's bouncing leg as an indication of one internal state, when actually she is stimming and feeling very calm as she does it. There could be two ADHD camps here: one for dogs, one for cats. Perhaps most ADHDers would align with dogs, as in we tend to vibrate when we're happy. David knows when he's still and quiet he is very alert and something's wrong. Isabelle's dog is currently whining at the door and she is like her dog in that she gives her all her needs and yet she has more needs? Isabelle is curious about internal stimming, like when she ruminates or revisits things in her head to self-stimulated. David talks about this as acting in or acting out, and maybe he's doing some action, or he's thinking or connecting with an internal world. Stimming is thought of as an action, that is repetitive or relieving in some way. Acting in and acting out was something David was naming 20 years ago, but now we use the term “stimming” — and it's doing something to keep your heart rate up. Isabelle did not see it used around ADHD but it does connect, but she sees it a lot around AuDHD — it comes from diagnostic origins, but the function of it is what David describes as exhaust. If his engine is running, there's going to be something going on somewhere. Slowly picking at a nail, feeling the tension of his pants, something to help him regulate his attention—like a ballast. This sends Isabelle off on a tangent about being a tween going to see “Titanic” because she was into boat architecture after seeing documentaries about the Titanic about the ships ballast getting flooded—the idea that you have these big walls that are designed to bring on some water  in order to balance the ship. Isabelle walks around with Trex arms, and it's like she is letting some of the world in and that helps her pick what's coming at her on a sensory level, because she can't really tune out the rest anyway, it's like taking in some stimulation to stay afloat. David describes how other ballasts could be biting down on leather when getting an amputation. If you give your body something to do it can distract it. While Isabelle isa bout to go on a tangent about pain theory, her dog needs to go outside, and so indeed, behavior is communication. Now David sneezes. And it's adorable. And he has to fight the reflex to not say “F you” back, because he has sneezed adorably for a long time now and his friend David C. Would always tease him and so he'd respond lovingly with an “F you!” And so he now needs to describe it all. David then segue ways to a definition of culture. Isabelle studied anthropology and archaeology in college, and remembers a professor saying that you know a culture exists when there is an in-group and an out-group and that culture is a set of adaptations to a human's environment. For example, chimpanzees, they stick a twig in a termite mound and then they eat the termites, and thinking about it archaeologically that a being used a thing to do something that nature did not use it for, so when archaeologists speak of a culture its around distinct patterns of how things were made and the area where people lived in. If we were archaeologists of the future, if we came back to earth, could we notice distinct enough artifacts that would indicate there is some difference in this group? Or we could think of it as a series of adaptations for the environments in which we find ourselves. Referencing the NYTimes article, the parts we can resonate with, ADHD is about so many more things than that. So dysregulating because it's 70% accurately, you just left out so many important details and experts and points—that thing that pains Isabelle is that this article is so long and takes so much energy to digest and is just an aspect of the book. David points out that it states that medicine has diminishing returns, because OF COURSE it doesn't mention that medication is intended to be used with therapy and of course the medication doesn't help you with the self esteem repair or accommodation strategies so in a vacuum you get diminishing returns. Isabelle is so on board and also frustrated that this is coming at a time when the world is extra scary and intense. David names that he thinks we would see signs of ADHD culture--organizing in piles, the sheer volume of fidget spinners, etc. Isabelle agrees, the material culture alone would create an interesting set of indicators that something different is happening in certain households that is unique and also in common with one another.Stimming (aka "Self-Stimulatory Behavior) -originally attributed to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but also occurs in neurodivergent AND neurotypical or allistic (non-autistic) folks. It means repetitive physical movements, sounds, or actions that someone engages in (aka leg bouncing, finger tapping, hand flapping, twirling hair, humming, repeating words, staring, pacing, doodling, playing with fidgets, chewing gum, smelling or touching things..so many stims!).Useful for: so many things! For when your senses are overloaded or your understimulated, can help you focus and concentrate, can be a way to learn about or interact with your environment, or to cope with anxiety, stress, excitement, or big feels.Culture (Source: Oxford Language Dictionary): "the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group." OR, "anthropologically, culture is defined as a complex, shared system of learned beliefs, values, behaviors, and symbols that allows a group of people to understand and interact with the world. It's a dynamic, evolving set of practices and ideas that shape a group's identity and way of life" (from sapiens.org)The notorious NY Times article ("Are we thinking about ADHD all wrong?" by Paul Tough) David and Isabelle are referencingChimpanzees eating termites like a lollipop (AKA chimps having a material culture)Ballast: YES these are compartments designed to be flooded and dispense with water to help balance a ships weight and regulate how buoyant it is in water (how it floats) (see Wikipedia definition of "Ballast Tank" for more) AND superintricate maps and explanations of the...

In today's reading, Paul offers a word on faithfulness in the midst of temptation. Referencing the book of Moses which we call Numbers, Paul reminds his hearers that Israel desired evil things rather than God, and thereby received just punishment from the God with whom they had covenanted as a people. When we are tempted, we may feel that we are the only ones who have ever experienced what we are experiencing, but Paul reminds us that no temptation is out of the ordinary. Moreover, with every temptation one might face, God provides a way out so that you may be able to bear it. As such, we should devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the Lord, using our freedom to give God glory, instead of using it as a cover-up for evil. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Strategy might build the plan, but flow is what actually moves the needle.   Corinne Morahan challenges the default mindset of starting with strategy and instead makes a case for leading with intuition and flow. She shares how over-optimizing every aspect of her business left her feeling stuck, and how everything shifted when she stopped trying to control every outcome and started listening to her instincts.   Referencing the concept of flow from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's “Finding Flow,” Corinne explains how flow isn't just a feel-good state. It leads to better ideas, more satisfying work, and faster results. She outlines the signs you're out of flow (think: decision fatigue, overthinking, and never-ending to-do lists) and offers practical shifts to help you recalibrate, like building in space to daydream and trusting ideas before rushing to execute.   This episode is an invitation to reorder your approach: intuition first, strategy second. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on productivity, and maybe even permission to stop color-coding your calendar.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Strategy vs. Flow: Setting the Stage 01:05 What Is Flow and Why It Matters 02:10 The Book That Sparked It: Finding Flow 03:47 Flow in Action: Personal Insights and Success 06:17 Letting Go of Control to Tap Into Intuition 08:15 Signs You're Out of Flow 08:48 How to Reenter Flow: Intuition, Space, and Energy 11:06 Flipping the Order: Intuition First, Strategy Second 13:07 You Already Know: Learning to Trust Yourself   Links Connect With Corinne: https://www.gridandglam.com/ https://www.corinnemorahan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gridandglam/ https://www.instagram.com/corinnemorahan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinnemorahan/ https://www.facebook.com/gridandglam Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In a response letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, the defense team representing Sean "Diddy" Combs reiterated their objection to witnesses consulting with attorneys during breaks in cross-examination. Referencing the government's and Cassie Ventura's legal counsel's previous filings, the defense argued that the reasoning laid out in Perry v. Leeke, 488 U.S. 272 (1989), supports their position. They claimed that the risks of witness coaching or testimony manipulation identified by the Supreme Court in Perry are not only relevant but even more pronounced in the present case due to the high-profile nature and complexity of the allegations.The defense maintained that to preserve the integrity of the proceedings and ensure the truthfulness of testimony, the court should bar all witnesses from communicating with any third parties—including their own lawyers—while they remain under cross-examination. They argued that even brief consultations during recesses could compromise the adversarial process and allow for improper influence or coordinated narrative adjustments. Accordingly, the defense asked the court to issue a clear order prohibiting such communications for the duration of a witness's cross-examination.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.335.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the recent surge of forfeiture lawsuits and urges plan fiduciaries, advisors, and committee members to scrutinize their fiduciary processes rigorously.

Today's episode is a reair from 2021, however, the message is timely. Let us review that we might be assured that we are prepared to move forward…into Kingdom authority. Where to dive in: (0:00:10) - Kingdom Chronicles in Review (19 Minutes) This chapter of Kingdom Chronicles reflects on a re-aired episode titled "Kingdom in Review," highlighting the enduring sovereignty of Jesus and the importance of aligning ourselves with God's kingdom in a time of global uncertainty. I share insights on the necessity for believers to embody God's authority on earth, stressing that we are often the answer to the world's questions. We explore the significance of the upcoming Hebrew year 5782, marking the time since God gave His laws to Moses. Through prayer and reflection, I encourage a return to fidelity with God and a renewed focus on unity and love within the body of Christ. This is a call for a spiritual revival and reconciliation, urging us to embrace our roles as sons, citizens, and servants of God's kingdom. (0:19:16) - Living as a Kingdom Disciple (12 Minutes) This chapter explores the fundamental concept of representing the Kingdom of God in various spheres of life, whether it be in science, government, business, or ministry. We emphasize the importance of understanding God's sovereignty and how the Holy Spirit's conviction should guide our actions beyond cultural or democratic influences. The conversation highlights that God's principles do not change with shifting cultures and underscores the necessity of aligning our lives with the righteousness and holiness that God demands. We also discuss the role of kingdom authority, where believers are empowered to speak and see their declarations manifest, drawing parallels with biblical figures like Elijah and Moses. As representatives of God's kingdom, we are called to make challenging decisions, prioritizing divine truth over societal norms, and to embody the character and integrity of God in our daily lives. (0:31:35) - Seeking God's Guidance in Kingdom Discipleship (18 Minutes) This chapter addresses the spiritual practice of seeking guidance directly from God rather than solely relying on external sources such as books or social media for answers. Referencing scripture from Matthew, Mark, and Luke, I discuss Jesus' teachings on discipleship and the importance of prioritizing divine wisdom. I emphasize the need for believers to consult the Holy Spirit and seek God's kingdom first, rather than becoming dependent on the interpretations and experiences of others. The chapter underscores the idea that while other resources can provide valuable insights, the primary source of guidance should always be the relationship with God and His Holy Spirit.

Should a preacher repeat his sermon? What are the dangers in doing so? Is it ever appropriate for a preacher to preach another person's sermon? In this sermon titled “Pitfalls and Romance,” these questions are handled as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones lectures under the topic of preaching and preachers. A sermon takes on a personality of its own. As the preacher comes to know his sermons, there are certain benefits in preaching them again and again. Yet there are pitfalls. The preacher who is no longer moved by his sermon turns the act into a mere performance. The same applies to preaching another person's sermon. While it may be useful on occasion, Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the dangers in this habit. He emphasizes, however, that there is nothing like waking into one's own pulpit with a fresh sermon. There is an uncertainty to the service and the preacher doesn't really know what's going to happen. Referencing this as the “romance” of preaching, he talks of times when his first point became its own sermon in the pulpit and the remaining points became a series. While repeating sermons may be useful, what a great privilege for the preacher to remain for many years in the same pulpit, preaching fresh sermons to a congregation.

I've never used ChatGPT. Couldn't tell you how to do it. So, not surprisingly… I've never used AI for life guidance. And I never will. Because turning to algorithms for soul advice? That's not evolution—it's devolution.  But…asking AI for life advice and personal goal-setting is ACTUALLY TRENDING.  Heavy sigh. This week, I'm naming what's happening underneath all the dopamine hits.  We've worked too hard to break free from shallow psychotherapists and profit-centric Priestesses to fall for Chat-f*cking-GPT subbing as our next spiritual advisor. Want real wisdom? Put the phone down. It's less sexy, and the dopamine is modest. But the results of self-referencing and a loving support system lead to your radiant power. In this episode: Why asking AI for spiritual guidance or life advice is a dangerous dependency Fawning as emotional manipulation—human and algorithmic How AI reflects your hungry ghost back to you (with charm) What true, self-sourced consciousness looks like in a world of synthetic wisdom MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Heart Centered Collective.
