Behind the recently published article: Tariffs – now what for trade shows, this episode's guest, media and events entrepreneur Dr Baris Onay, is a bit of a coup. Referencing the impact of international sanctions on Russia in 2014 from first-hand experience, Baris looks at what to expect, and what might actually happen, as a result of the restless canon of US tariffs. Hosted by Adam Parry, Baris moves from the “cataclysmic potential” for people selling goods to the States, and the China question, to strategy advice for US and non-US organisers. While these sanctions are clearly not nailed on, Baris highlights the crucial role for one-to-one buyers' programmes, content, and technology, meantime. Dr Baris Onay's take on the tariff's is clued up, on point, and this is an invaluable conversation for the events industry. To keep up to date with all the news, subscribe for free here.

In Episode 82 of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jen Harvey tackle a topic that hits close to home for nearly every couple: how mishandling money can sabotage your marriage. Bryon begins the conversation by asking Jen, “You deal with a lot of different family issues as a lawyer. What do you see as the biggest contributor to strife in marriage?” Drawing on both professional and personal experience, Jen explains that while financial stress is a common challenge, it's really about how couples connect—or fail to connect—through that stress. Money is emotionally charged. It touches everything: our goals, our upbringing, our values, and our sense of security. When couples don't know how to talk about money or approach it as a team, the consequences can be devastating. Referencing a 2024 Fidelity study, Bryon and Jen note that 45% of couples argue about money at least occasionally, and 25% say money is the number one challenge in their marriage. Clearly, finances are a serious issue. But rather than focusing on surface-level fixes, this episode digs into the root causes of money-related tension in relationships and offers biblical, research-backed solutions for building financial unity in marriage. One of the biggest takeaways from the episode is the importance of combining bank accounts. According to multiple studies, couples who combine their finances report higher levels of satisfaction in their marriage. It's not just about practicality—it's about unity. When you have a shared account, you're forced to communicate, collaborate, and create financial goals together, whether that's saving for a home, planning for retirement, or managing everyday expenses. On the flip side, keeping separate accounts can breed suspicion, secrecy, and division. Bryon sums it up with a powerful statement: “If you can share a bed, you can share a bank account.” Another major factor that undermines financial harmony is what Bryon and Jen call “unexpectations”—the unspoken beliefs, habits, and assumptions we bring into marriage without ever realizing it. These come from our families of origin, our experiences before marriage, and even what we absorb from media, television shows, podcasts, and celebrity financial advisors. When couples don't talk about these expectations, they become invisible barriers that block trust and intimacy. The episode also reminds listeners that expenses will inevitably increase over time. Whether it's the cost of raising children, adjusting to a higher standard of living, or dealing with inflation, planning ahead is essential. Couples who don't anticipate financial changes often find themselves overwhelmed and reactive, which only adds to the strain. One of the more sensitive but critical points Bryon and Jen address is the role extended family can play in sabotaging financial unity. While it's perfectly okay to seek wise counsel from parents or friends, your financial decisions should be made by you and your spouse alone. It's crucial to establish boundaries, especially with in-laws, and to never share financial information with anyone your spouse isn't comfortable with. Financial privacy and unity go hand in hand. As the conversation draws to a close, Bryon and Jen bring it back to a biblical perspective. Money is one of the greatest competitors for our loyalty to God. Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and money” (Matthew 6:24), and Paul warned that “the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). The goal of marriage isn't just happiness—it's holiness. God gives us marriage as a way to grow more like Christ, and learning to manage money together is a key part of that journey. When couples are faithful with the little they've been given, they position themselves to be entrusted with more—and to one day hear those words from Jesus: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Whether you're newly married or decades in, this episode offers valuable insight and practical steps for cultivating financial unity in your relationship. If you've ever argued about money, kept financial secrets, or felt misunderstood by your spouse about money matters, Episode 83 is a must-listen. Bryon and Jen combine biblical wisdom, real-life experience, and research-backed advice to help you avoid the common traps that sabotage marriages—and to build a thriving relationship grounded in trust, transparency, and shared purpose.

“If you're the one that always gets fed in the nest, you become a bird of paradise. If you're the runt, you get yeeted.”— Chris Abraham, philosopher of the podcast forestIn this unhinged odyssey of a podcast episode, Chris Abraham and co-host Snarky Eunice hatch a conversation that begins with a metaphor about social movements needing applause (Tinkerbell-style), expands into a sharp analysis of the professional clap economy, swerves into conspiracy-adjacent government funding structures, flies through political infighting, lands briefly in the terrain of eco-hypocrisy, and ultimately ends with a heartfelt elegy to a life lived behind the lens.You wanted rails? Too bad. They were dismantled, repurposed for sculpture, and auctioned off to raise funds for a prepper community art collective in Utah.Picking up from S9E4 ("Tinkerbell Tactics"), Chris critiques the performative support required to sustain social movements. He argues:Identity and justice-based initiatives often require external belief and funding to survive, much like clapping keeps Tinkerbell alive.These movements increasingly rely on taxpayer funding, federal grants, and NGO scaffolding—forming a “trust fund for the ideologically vulnerable.”Chris introduces the concept of the "clap factory"—a mechanism by which governments and affiliated nonprofits financially insulate certain causes from public opinion. Why rely on fickle donors when you can be a line item in the Department of Diversity?

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.

In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson break down how newly implemented tariffs and immigration policies are reshaping the housing market. Referencing a recent New York Times article, they analyze a case study showing that labor and material costs for a new home in Phoenix jumped by nearly 9%, mainly due to deportations affecting construction labor and tariffs inflating imported material prices like concrete and insulation. Erin highlights how even though not every buyer will purchase a new build, these increased costs will reduce supply and place upward pressure on prices across the market. They also discuss how mortgage rates in April 2025 have hit a temporary low, providing a rare moment of increased buying power. With interest rates dropping from 7.25% to 6.5%, buyers can now afford more house—but the hosts caution that this window may be short-lived. James explains how first-time homebuyer challenges continue to mount, especially as affordability remains out of reach and rate fluctuations create uncertainty. While this could be an ideal moment to buy for confident, secure buyers, they warn that volatility may discourage others from jumping in. The episode closes with a grounded conversation about whether now is the time to sell. Despite lower rates, Erin and James explain why they're still holding—highlighting how real estate investing during political uncertainty calls for patience, not panic. If you're looking for data-driven, real-talk perspectives on the state of real estate in 2025, this episode has you covered.

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.

In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson, seasoned real estate agents and investors, introduce the concept of the lifestyle landlord—an investor focused on real estate investing for passive income rather than full-time hustle. They discuss how real estate can enhance your life rather than overtake it, and why so many mid-term and short-term rental investors are leaning into flexible strategies that support freedom, travel, and balance. Erin explains how landlords are increasingly shifting from a “money-maximization” mindset to one that values time, simplicity, and long-term appreciation. James shares how his own journey from STR hustle to a more relaxed investing style reflects this shift. Later, they dive into the untapped potential of how to rent out an extra bedroom. Referencing a New York Times report, they explain why 32 million bedrooms across the U.S. are sitting empty and how house hacking—especially for beginner landlords or retirees—can solve both financial and housing crises. They also talk about co-housing rental strategy, how aging Americans can reduce loneliness and earn supplemental income, and why cities like Colorado Springs offer excellent opportunity. If you're looking for real estate investing strategies that work for your lifestyle—not the other way around—this episode is for you.

Send us a textWhat drives someone to build a full-sized airplane in their basement? The same thing that makes us question insurance company CEOs, contemplate multiverses, or find reasons to stay alive during our darkest moments – the search for meaning.From the moment we descend into Dylan's basement workshop, surrounded by airplane parts and half-finished projects, this episode takes us on a journey through the things we build to outlast ourselves. Dylan's four-seater aircraft isn't just a hobby; it's a legacy he hopes his grandchildren will inherit (though he jokes they might use it to end his family line). This ambitious project, planned for completion in 2026, becomes a metaphor for purpose throughout our conversation.We pivot to discuss the recent shooting of a United Healthcare CEO, noting the strangely muted public reaction compared to other violent events. Digging deeper, we explore how the insurance industry's high denial rates (United's exceeds 30%) and massive profit margins have created a system where essential care becomes a business decision. This leads us to question how regulated industries often lack the competitive pressures that might otherwise force better practices.The most profound moments come when we share personal insights about mental health and suicide prevention. Referencing philosopher Albert Camus, we contemplate his assertion that deciding whether life is worth living is the only serious philosophical problem. What emerges is a surprisingly hopeful perspective: perhaps if we could see our lives as our own sitcoms – free from others' expectations and judgments – we might find more reasons to stick around and see what happens next.Whether you're building an airplane, questioning corporate ethics, or simply trying to find your purpose, this episode offers raw, unfiltered perspective on what makes a life worth living. Join us as we navigate these complex territories with humor, vulnerability, and occasional detours into carpeting ceilings and fitted sheet frustrations.
Referencing Exodus 1.8-2.10, Luke 2.33-35.A talk for Mothering Sunday, 30 March 2025. Our remarkable scriptures privilege and celebrate the outsiders: like the subversive midwives, the defiant mother and sister, the sympathetic princess, united by their surreptitious risk-taking actions to save a baby. The pharaohs and presidents, the CEOs and chancellors, will go on doing what they have always done, drawing ever-more power and wealth to themselves and their caste at a cost to the people and the planet. But through learning to listen to the stories of those at the edges facing abandonment or drowning, those at the brink of disaster, we get to know the voice of God, and understand his worldview, for he so often speaks through and for such people. In scripture, and in life today. This people's history is a story of beauty bubbling up from beneath.Find the text to this and all my talks at bit.ly/johndavies-talks.
In this episode, Steve Wood explores the concept of the Two Great Judgments, drawing a powerful parallel between the flood in Noah's time and the future judgment at Christ's Second Coming. He highlights how many Christian leaders today downplay the historical accuracy of the Genesis flood, which can leave future generations vulnerable to a loss of faith. Referencing key Bible verses, Steve emphasizes the importance of understanding the flood as a real event, not a mere myth or exaggeration, and encourages listeners to stand firm in their belief in the Bible's authority—particularly regarding the flood and its significance as a warning of the coming judgment at the end of times.

A few years ago, songwriter Dylan Thomas, an influential visionary of Christian contemporary music, and a few of his friends founded CREATR, an organization bringing together the who-is-who of Christian worship for collaborative projects, with one of the most recent and stunning projects at Museum of the Bible. In this episode, Dylan joins Museum of the Bible CMO and Unscrolled host Matthias Walther to talk about the story of this project and his heart behind worship.

Listen to the Message From Sunday, March 16, 2025 "New Creation Realities", Part Three, "Your Ministry of Reconciliation" Podcast Summary: God Takes Care of His Own In Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute (Talk #162), Dr. Bryan Hudson explores the theme that God takes care of His own, drawing from 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. He explains that being a follower of Christ is more than adopting a religion—it is an invitation into God's family. The message highlights the concept of redemption, emphasizing that believers were bought at a price—the life of Jesus Christ. This transformation is not achieved through human effort or religious rituals but through a change of ownershipfrom darkness to light, from sin to righteousness, and from the devil's possession to belonging to God. Dr. Hudson reminds listeners that glorifying God is not just a spiritual act but involves how we live daily—our habits, thoughts, and actions. He draws a parallel between how people care for their own possessions and how God, as our owner, lovingly takes care of us. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:18, he highlights the ministry of reconciliation, explaining that just as believers have been reconciled to God, they are called to share the gospel and help others return to God. The power of salvation lies in the message of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The episode closes with an invitation to listen to Dr. Hudson's New Creation Realities, Part Three: Your Ministry of Reconciliation, available via his blog and YouTube.

Looking back on the 2024 MLB season, an interesting note has been made about the entire league which seems to have raised a few eyebrows. There were only a total of 28 complete games in the 2024 MLB season making that a record low since the year 1975. Referencing former Astros pitcher Nolan Ryan and how he finished his career with a total of 222 complete games 38 of which were with the Astros, Sean and Brian pose there may be a development issue regarding the pitchers around the league following majority of frontline ace starters, can only pitch half a game. Taking a moment with callers and aiming to identify what's been the trending issue, the guys share a few ideas on what may has caused such a drop in this specific category in baseball and how does the league go about fixing the issue.
In the first half, attorney and digital privacy advocate Heidi Boghosian discussed the need for digital preparedness in today's world of rapidly evolving technology. She introduced the concept of a "digital go kit"—a set of backup tools that safeguard essential digital resources during emergencies.Boghosian claimed that many Americans are ill-prepared for such situations, stating, "Most people haven't done this... maybe your listeners are in the savvy category, but I read that something like 33% of our nation has traditional [non-digital] go bags."She stressed how important it is to have backup documents, especially in light of recent natural disasters. "Make copies, scan copies of your passport, your driver's license… and put those on a USB drive." Her recommended kit also includes cloud-based technologies, such as password managers.Boghosian then explained the alarming rate of data breaches affecting both individuals and organizations. "If you live in the modern world… your data is going to be compromised eventually," she warned. "I think you should always have healthy skepticism about everything that comes into your inbox."Referencing the rise of phishing attempts, she emphasized, "Never open any email with an attachment if you do not know the sender." She also lamented the impacts of identity theft, remarking, "It's life-changing—it upends your life."According to Boghosian, older adults are particularly vulnerable. She noted that lonely individuals may be more trusting of online interactions, but cautioned that a trusting nature should not come at the expense of personal safety.------------------In the second half, magician, paranormal consultant, and UFO investigator Brandon Scott explored the concept of synchronicity and its implications in daily life.Scott, who has a rich background in magic and has performed globally, is an expert in blending the realms of illusion and the paranormal. Synchronicity is critical to his craft, and he defined it as significant coincidences that align with one's inner thoughts and experiences. "For me, it's when two or more events coincide in a way that feels significant," he stated. "Carl Jung, who coined the term, described synchronicity as a causal connection principle that reflects the interplay between the inner world and the outer world."Scott suggested that synchronicities could be tied to the law of attraction, and that individuals unconsciously broadcast their thoughts to attract corresponding experiences. "I think of someone, somebody thinks of you, and they call," Scott explained.He also conducted a synchronicity experiment among listeners. Participants performed a card exercise that involved spelling their names, with the expectation that many would end up with the same card—the ace of hearts.

"Carl Jung, who coined the term, described synchronicity as a causal connection principle that reflects the interplay between the inner world and the outer world."Scott suggested that synchronicities could be tied to the law of attraction, and that individuals unconsciously broadcast their thoughts to attract corresponding experiences. "I think of someone, somebody thinks of you, and they call," Scott explained.He also conducted a synchronicity experiment among listeners. Participants performed a card exercise that involved spelling their names, with the expectation that many would end up with the same card—the ace of hearts.
In the first half, attorney and digital privacy advocate Heidi Boghosian discussed the need for digital preparedness in today's world of rapidly evolving technology. She introduced the concept of a "digital go kit"—a set of backup tools that safeguard essential digital resources during emergencies.Boghosian claimed that many Americans are ill-prepared for such situations, stating, "Most people haven't done this... maybe your listeners are in the savvy category, but I read that something like 33% of our nation has traditional [non-digital] go bags."She stressed how important it is to have backup documents, especially in light of recent natural disasters. "Make copies, scan copies of your passport, your driver's license… and put those on a USB drive." Her recommended kit also includes cloud-based technologies, such as password managers.Boghosian then explained the alarming rate of data breaches affecting both individuals and organizations. "If you live in the modern world… your data is going to be compromised eventually," she warned. "I think you should always have healthy skepticism about everything that comes into your inbox."Referencing the rise of phishing attempts, she emphasized, "Never open any email with an attachment if you do not know the sender." She also lamented the impacts of identity theft, remarking, "It's life-changing—it upends your life."According to Boghosian, older adults are particularly vulnerable. She noted that lonely individuals may be more trusting of online interactions, but cautioned that a trusting nature should not come at the expense of personal safety.------------------In the second half, magician, paranormal consultant, and UFO investigator Brandon Scott explored the concept of synchronicity and its implications in daily life.Scott, who has a rich background in magic and has performed globally, is an expert in blending the realms of illusion and the paranormal.

From Shame to Freedom: Breaking the Cycle Join hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings in this episode of the Exploring More Podcast as they dive into the universal struggle of shame—how it takes root, thrives in secrecy, and impacts our identity, relationships, and spiritual lives. Drawing from personal experiences, literature, and biblical perspectives, they reveal how shame distorts our self-worth and fuels isolation, addiction, and unhealthy behaviors. Referencing insights from Brené Brown and the biblical transition from shame under the Old Covenant to grace in the New Covenant, they explore how Jesus' love and acceptance offer a path to freedom. They discuss practical ways to break free from shame, including vulnerability, connection, and spiritual healing, and emphasize the importance of confronting shame rather than letting it define us. If you've ever wrestled with feelings of unworthiness or struggled to silence the voice of shame, this episode offers deep encouragement and practical steps toward healing. Tune in to Exploring More and discover how freedom from shame is not just possible—it's within reach. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
Pastor Colins Nwosu brought us God's word today in a message titled “Love & Sacrifice”, drawing from John 3:16 (NKJV) – "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." He reminded us that love is not found on February 14 but in John 3:16! True love isn't shaped like a heart; it is shaped like a cross. Referencing 1 John 4:7-11 (NKJV), he emphasised that love is not just a feeling but a sacrifice.
The famed electro house duo open up about their 2024 album and the challenges of touring live. In the mid-'00s, songs like "D.A.N.C.E." and "We Are Your Friends" emerged as stadium-sized anthems during a new wave of electro house that weaved in elements of rock and disco. The architects behind these hits were Parisian duo Justice, AKA Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay. Together with their Ed Banger contemporaries, they rode a craze that took over airwaves and dance floors, alongside peers like label founder Busy P and the late DJ Mehdi. Their first album, Cross, quickly became a classic, helping to establish Ed Banger as the flagbearer for French electro. Justice went on to tour a dynamic live show with spectacular lights and visuals, and later released two more albums before taking an eight-year hiatus and largely disappearing from the spotlight. Last year, Augé and de Rosnay returned with their fourth studio album, Hyperdrama, which features a GRAMMY-winning collaboration with Tame Impala. Referencing indie rock and early '90s hardcore techno, the LP sparked a revived interest in the duo—if you watched last year's Olympics in Paris, 18 minutes of their music featured in the closing ceremony. In this RA Exchange, Augé and de Rosnay talk to Resident Advisor's editor, Gabriel Szatan, about being back on the road and balancing touring with family life, a rhythm that hasn't felt natural to them after so much time off. They open up about dealing with technical issues and making mistakes when performing, despite having played countless iterations of their live shows. The conversation also touches on their earliest influences—like gaming culture and bands including the White Stripes, and how they've cultivated such a dedicated international fanbase.

Life's trials are inevitable, but how we respond to them defines our faith. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Donnie McClurkin reminds us that suffering, challenges, and even persecution are part of a Christian's journey. Referencing 1 Peter 4:12 and Ephesians 6:10-18, he encourages believers to see adversity as an opportunity to strengthen their faith. Through prayer and by putting on the full armor of God, we can withstand any spiritual battle. The enemy may attack, but victory is already ours through Christ! If you're feeling tested, discouraged, or in the middle of a spiritual fight, this message is for you.

In this episode of Daily Value, we look at how paternal alcohol consumption before conception could influence offspring health, longevity, and even accelerate aging. Referencing studies from Andrology (PMID: 38044754) and Aging and Disease (PMID: 39122451), we examine how sperm RNA modifications and mitochondrial dysfunction may persist long after alcohol cessation—potentially programming offspring for metabolic disorders, reduced NAD+ levels, and faster cellular aging.Discussion Points:Sperm Epigenetics: what rodent data tells us baout alcohol exposure altering small RNAs in sperm, disrupting gene regulation in the developing embryo.Mitochondrial Dysfunction: newer rodent data showing lower SIRT1/SIRT3 levels, and lower NAD+ in offspring whose parents were exposed to alcohol.Practical Takeaways: How long should alcohol cessation be before conception could help restore sperm quality and reduce the risk of accelerated aging in children for people who drink regularly.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39122451/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38044754/ Support the show
This lecture focuses on two pressing issues that intersect with the mission of the community, particularly around immigration and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The speaker emphasizes the biblical mandate for Christians to approach immigrants and refugees with compassion and care. Referencing the church's longstanding commitment to hospitality and love for the foreigner, the speaker highlights recent funding cuts to refugee resettlement agencies, specifically in Baltimore. These cuts have significant implications for local support systems, particularly for the 48 refugee families currently being resettled. The speaker encourages church members to engage practically by providing financial assistance for resettlement, reiterating the church's openness to facilitating connections for those who feel led to help.The discussion then shifts to the broader theme of DEI within the context of the multi-ethnic kingdom described in the Bible. The speaker asserts that God's intention is for his people to foster inclusivity, asserting there's no tolerance for racism within the church community. This inclusive approach has been a foundational aspect of the church's vision since its inception. A transition into a biblical analysis occurs as the speaker introduces the teaching text from Luke 6:37-42, leading to a larger inquiry about the meaning behind Jesus' exhortation not to judge others. The speaker reflects on how this teaching resonates today, particularly in a contemporary context that often perceives the church as judgmental.The lecture delves into cultural sentiments about judgment, recognizing the challenge posed by societal expectations while maintaining a biblical standard of truth. The speaker advocates for understanding the nuances of Jesus' words in their historical and textual context. The pursuit of love and compassion in relationships is emphasized, urging attendees to consider how reciprocal relationships differ from the unconditional love expected of a community modeled after Christ.As the speaker articulates the principles of generosity and forgiveness, the discussion touches on the law of reciprocity, contrasting it with more selfless acts that reflect Jesus' teachings. The concept of relational triangles is introduced, using family systems theory to illustrate how relational dynamics can complicate interactions. The need for a direct approach to conflict resolution, rather than diverting anxieties into triangular relationships, is underscored, emphasizing the call for self-examination and honest engagement.The examination of judgment culminates with a poignant exploration of Jesus' metaphor regarding the speck and the log, driving home the message that self-awareness and humility are crucial in relationships. The emphasis is placed on recognizing one's shortcomings before addressing the faults of others, encouraging a communal spirit that embodies grace and forgiveness. In concluding thoughts, the speaker shares a powerful story of St. Moses, who embodied compassion and grace, highlighting the importance of extending forgiveness to others based on the grace received from God. The call to action centers on approaching relationships with an understanding of divine compassion, advocating for a mindset that acknowledges human fallibility while promoting love and acceptance within the community. The emphasis throughout is on transformation through the teachings of Jesus, encouraging listeners to manifest those principles in their daily interactions and to foster an environment of grace amid contemporary challenges.
In this episode, Jim Garrity talks about a tactic of some examining lawyers that should, but often doesn't, draw objections that their questions are “argumentative.” So, what is an improper, argumentative question or examination? Here, we're not talking about the questioner's tone or demeanor, i.e., arguing in the classic sense of yelling and bickering with the deponent. We're talking about questions where lawyers aren't really asking a question designed to elicit facts but are instead injecting their own commentary or viewpoint, or injecting insults, taunts, wisecracks, or similar language. "Argumentative" objections are objections to the form, and must be timely made or are waived.SHOW NOTESPeople v. Pawar, No. G037097, 2007 WL 477949, at *2 (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 15, 2007) (“[W]ere they lying” queries are improper if they are merely argumentative. (Chatman, supra, 38 Cal.4th at pp. 381, 384.) In Chatman, the prosecutor asked the defendant how the safe at a store was opened. (Id. at p. 379.) The defendant replied “he could not say; he never touched the safe,” eliciting the prosecutor's query, “ ‘Well, is the safe lying about you?' “ (Ibid.) The Supreme Court held the question of whether an inanimate object was “lying” was argumentative , defining argumentative inquiry as “speech to the jury masquerading as a question” which “does not seek to elicit relevant, competent testimony, or often any testimony at all.” (Id. at p. 384.))Faile v. Zarich, No. HHDX04CV5015994S, 2008 WL 2967045, at *3 (Conn. Super. Ct. July 10, 2008) (Webster's. . . in the closest relevant definition, defines “argumentative” as “consisting of or characterized by argument: containing a process of reasoning: controversial”)Pardee v. State, No. 06-11-00226-CR, 2012 WL 3516485, at *6 (Tex. App. Aug. 16, 2012) (Steven Goode, et al., Texas Practice Series: Courtroom Handbook on Texas Evidence § 611 cmt. 12 (2012); see United States v. Yakobowicz, 427 F.3d 144, 151 (2d Cir.N.Y.2005) (defining argumentative as “summation-like remarks by counsel during the presentation of evidence”); accord Eddlemon v. State, 591 S.W.2d 847, 851 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1979) (trial court did not abuse discretion in finding the question, “You don't believe your own offense report?” argumentative). In other words, an argumentative objection concerns whether counsel is attempting to “argue” the case, not whether the counsel is “arguing” with the witness”)United States v. Yakobowicz, 427 F.3d 144, 151 (2d Cir. 2005) (“During the presentation of evidence one of the most commonly sustained objections is that a particular question is argumentative, Fed.R.Evid. 611(a) advisory committee's note to Subdivision (a) to 1972 Proposed Rules, and any summation-like remarks by counsel during the presentation of evidence are improper and subject as a routine matter to being stricken, Mauet & Wolfson, supra, at 30”)Pardee v. State, No. 06-11-00226-CR, 2012 WL 3516485, at *6 (Tex. App. Aug. 16, 2012) ("Many common law objections—including the objection of “argumentative”—are incorporated in the Texas Rules of Evidence. The common law argumentative objection is now governed by Tex.R. Evid. 611 which concerns the mode of interrogation and presentation. The argumentative objection is an objection commonly used, but not commonly understood. Pardee argues the objection should have been sustained because the State was “arguing” with the defendant. Argumentative, though, does not concern counsel's demeanor or tone. Professors Wellborn, Goode, and Sharlot explain the argumentative objection as follows: Counsel may not, in the guise of asking a question, make a jury argument or attempt to summarize, draw inferences from, or comment on the evidence. In addition, questions that ask a witness to testify as to his own credibility are improper.")People v. Chatman, 38 Cal. 4th 344, 384, 133 P.3d 534, 563 (2006) The prosecutor's question about whether the safe was “lying” requires a different analysis. The question was argumentative. An argumentative question is a speech to the jury masquerading as a question. The questioner is not seeking to elicit relevant testimony. Often it is apparent that the questioner does not even expect an answer. The question may, indeed, be unanswerable. The prosecutor's question whether “the safe [was] lying” is an example. An inanimate object cannot “lie.” Professor Wigmore has called cross-examination the “greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth.” (5 Wigmore on Evidence (Chadbourne rev. ed.1974) § 1367, p. 32.) The engine should be allowed to run, but it cannot be allowed to run amok. An argumentative question that essentially talks past the witness, and makes an argument to the jury, is improper because it does not seek to elicit relevant, competent testimony, or often any testimony at all. Defendant had already explained he had no explanation for the safe being open. Asking whether the safe was “lying” could add nothing to this testimony”)People v. Imbach, No. E040190, 2008 WL 510482, at *7–8 (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 27, 2008) ("The prosecutor asked, “You found that to be inappropriate but not your other son's addiction to child pornography?” When defendant objected that the question was argumentative, the trial court overruled that objection. Defendant asserted the second “argumentative” objection when defendant's mother said she did not know how to answer that question and the prosecutor asked, “Is that because you didn't want to know?” The trial court sustained the defendant's objection to this second question. Both questions are argumentative, because they both are speeches by the prosecutor masquerading as questions. (Chatman, supra, 38 Cal.4th at p. 384.) The trial court should have sustained both objections. However, we cannot say that by asking those two questions the prosecutor engaged in misconduct.")People v. Peoples, 62 Cal. 4th 718, 793–94, 365 P.3d 230, 288 (2016) (“Defendant observes that the prosecutor asked numerous argumentative questions when cross-examining defense witnesses. To list a few examples, the prosecutor asked defense expert Dr. Lisak, “how many hours are you into them for?” He said to defense expert Dr. Buchsbaum, “Let's quit guessing for awhile and look at the facts.” He said to defense expert Dr. Wu, “It's a pain in the butt to get these test scores.” And he asked prosecution expert Dr. Mayberg, “Did you have a heart attack last night when you looked at the raw data?”)People v. Burns, No. D081051, 2024 WL 2144151, at *15–17 (Cal. Ct. App. May 14, 2024), review denied (July 17, 2024) (excessive repetition of a question simply to make a point can cross line into improper argument”; “Burns makes a strong argument that the prosecutor's repetitive questioning regarding the drunk tank incident became argumentative. “An argumentative question is a speech to the jury masquerading as a question. The questioner is not seeking to elicit relevant testimony. Often it is apparent that the questioner does not even expect an answer. The question may, indeed, be unanswerable.” (People v. Chatman (2006) 38 Cal.4th 344, 384.) “An argumentative question that essentially talks past the witness, and makes an argument to the jury, is improper because it does not seek to elicit relevant, competent testimony, or often any testimony at all.” (Ibid.) Instead, it may be aimed at agitating or belittling the witness (People v. Lund (2021) 64 Cal.App.5th 1119, 1148), or designed to engage the witness in an argument (People v. Johnson (2003) 109 Cal.App.4th 1230, 1236)”)People v. Mazen, No. B300193, 2021 WL 164356, at *5 (Cal. Ct. App. Jan. 19, 2021) The court overruled defendant's argumentative objection to the following question: “Would [accidentally placing the car in neutral] been important information to tell [Morales]?” The court did not abuse its discretion when it overruled the objection. The question sought to elicit relevant testimony regarding defendant's theory that Mario was hit by accident (CALCRIM No. 510). (See People v. Chatman (2006) 38 Cal.4th 344, 384 [“[a]n argumentative question is a speech to the jury masquerading as a question” and does not seek to elicit relevant testimony].)”People v. Singh, No. H042511, 2018 WL 1046260, at *28 (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 26, 2018) (“Each question anticipated an answer and was answerable; none was “a speech to the jury masquerading as a question”)People v. Basler, No. D068047, 2015 WL 9437926, at *23 (Cal. Ct. App. Dec. 23, 2015) ("Fung appears to identify three categories of objectionable questioning during his cross-examination by the prosecutor. The first category involves apparent sarcasm by the prosecutor. For example, after Fung provided additional details about his fight with another inmate while incarcerated, the prosecutor said, “Okay. You left that part out a couple of minutes ago; right?” Referencing the same fight, the prosecutor made light of Fung's claim of self-defense: “Did you have to defend yourself against him, too?” As another example, when Fung was discussing the extent of his injuries following the fight, the prosecutor said, “So, that's about how badly you were hurt? It looked like something you get by falling off a skateboard?” The court sustained objections to each of these questions, and a number of others, as argumentative." Also from Basler: "As we have noted, Fung contends the first two categories of questions were impermissibly argumentative. “An argumentative question is a speech to the jury masquerading as a question. The questioner is not seeking to elicit relevant testimony. Often it is apparent that the questioner does not even want an answer. The question may, indeed, be unanswerable.... An argumentative question that essentially talks past the witness, and makes an argument to the jury, is improper because it does not seek to elicit relevant, competent testimony, or often any testimony at all.” (People v.

App. May 15, 2014) (citing examples of argumentative examination by prosecutor including (a) the prosecutor's remark “Convenient” when a witness said they did not remember a particular fact, and (b) when prosecutor commented on witnesses testimony by saying “So that's the lie you're going with?”, and (c) when prosecutor asked witness “You wouldn't tell us if you're lying, of course, right?” and when witness said he would, prosecutor replied “There's another lie,” causing court to strike prosecutor's comment from the record)People v.

Would you agree with me? Is that the legacy that you want [the dead teen] to have?”; other examples of prosecutor's argumentative questions included “Oh, the door was unlocked,” and “Isn't that convenient that all of a sudden, right after you've committed the crimes, that that's when you come to?”; further held, “The rule is well established that the prosecuting attorney may not interrogate witnesses solely ‘for the purpose of getting before the jury the facts inferred therein, together with the insinuations and suggestions they inevitably contained, rather than for the answers”)People v.

Building on the foundation of our 2025 beginning-of-year prayers, he connected the move of God's winds with profound spiritual lessons: Day 1: Faith & Sensitivity. Day 2: Repentance & Winds of Change. Day 3: Cool & Breezy Winds. Day 4: Disastrous Ill-Winds. Day 5: Deceptive Ill-Winds. Day 6: Winds of Good Fortune. The lead scripture from Amos 4:13 (MSG) reveals the source of all winds: "Look who's here: Mountain-Shaper! WIND-MAKER!" And Jeremiah 10:13c (NKJV) reminds us: "He brings the wind out of His treasuries." Referencing the parable of the 10 virgins, PFP emphasised: - Prepare for God's fair-wind. - Be ready for its arrival. - The wind doesn't wait for anyone; everyone waits for it! He closed with a sobering reminder: All 10 virgins had equal opportunity, but only 5 soared high.
