A federal grand jury has subpoenaed Shasta County's registrar of voters to report to Sacramento on Thursday. They've asked him to bring ballots he seized from the June election. The subpoenas came after Clint Curtis, the registrar, locked up stacks of those ballots, saying they looked and smelled suspicious. Curtis counters that he doesn't have to bring ballots to Sacramento because the FBI is already on the case.

Dillon shares his journey from firefighter to home inspector, the growth of his company, and why changing consumer expectations present an opportunity for inspectors to provide greater value.They also explore Arizona's Registrar of Contractors (ROC) workmanship standards, warranty timelines, builder restrictions, inspection pricing, training, and how understanding state laws and construction standards can help inspectors better protect homeowners.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsLearn more about Dillon Winiecki and his team's home inspection services in Arizona: https://ppi-az.com/Follow Protect Property Inspections' in-house social media influencer for new-construction inspection content and real-world inspection findings:https://www.instagram.com/jonny.eagle.eye/TakeawaysDillon Winiecki began his home inspection career in 2018 after working as a professional firefighter.Protect Property Inspections has 42 employees, including 24 inspectors, with new construction making up about 85% of its business.Dillon founded the Inspection Career Training Academy to educate aspiring Arizona home inspectors and recruit new talent.Changing consumer expectations create an opportunity for inspectors to provide greater value.Home inspections have expanded to include specialized services, and detailed new-construction inspections are another evolution of the industry.Arizona's workmanship requirements provide specific standards and tolerances for documenting construction defects.Protect Property Inspections includes Arizona ROC workmanship standards directly in its inspection reports.Dillon believes workmanship standards should be included in comprehensive new-construction inspections rather than offered separately.Warranty deadlines matter, with some defects requiring documentation before closing or within the first 10 days.Cosmetic-looking issues can indicate improper installation, including nail pops, bowed walls, tile issues, and missing insulation.Manufacturer requirements can help inspectors determine whether components were installed correctly.Builder restrictions may limit access before closing, while inspections after closing may allow inspectors greater access.Protect Property Inspections offers post-report support to help clients address repairs and navigate ROC complaints.The company averages about $1,070 for detailed final-walk or 10-day inspections, compared with $850–$860 for typical resale inspections.Specialized training is essential, with more than 57 training modules focused largely on new construction.Inspectors should research their state laws, warranties, building standards, and manufacturer requirements.Detailed inspections can help builders catch workmanship problems earlier, when repairs may be easier and less expensive.The key takeaway: Detailed new-construction inspections can provide greater value and protection by using clear standards, warranty requirements, and strong documentation.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome to the Show01:30 Introducing Dillon Winiecki02:11 Inspector Empire Builder and AI Tools04:02 Dillon's Journey From Firefighter to Home Inspector07:00 Growing Protect Property Inspections08:41 Starting the Inspection Career Training Academy14:06 The Shift Toward More Detailed New-Construction Inspections17:48 Changing Consumer Expectations in Home Inspections19:26 Why Detailed Inspections Are an Opportunity21:01 Arizona's Workmanship Laws and Standards23:25 Protecting and Empowering New-Construction Homeowners24:01 Giving Inspection Reports More “Teeth”26:44 Combining Standard and Workmanship Inspections29:48 Understanding the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC)31:18 Cosmetic Issues vs. Installation Defects37:11 Builder Restrictions and Inspection Limitations39:13 Post-Report Support and Warranty Claims41:25 Pricing Detailed New-Construction Inspections44:56 Training Inspectors on Workmanship Requirements45:48 New Construction as 85% of Dillon's Business47:19 Researching State Laws and Warranty Protections48:45 How Detailed Inspections Can Improve Construction Quality52:08 The Future of Detailed New-Construction Inspections52:45 Where to Find Dillon Winiecki53:37 Closing Thoughts

This is the guest the audience kept demanding, and Zak Paine pushed CannCon to book. Clint Curtis, now Registrar of Voters in Shasta County, California, is the programmer who, back around 2000 in Florida, was asked to write software that could flip an election, and did, in 24 lines of code. CannCon and Ashe in America walk him through that origin story, the congressional testimony every mainstream camera mysteriously abandoned at lunch, the hanging chad "designed problem," and the eerie 51-49 pattern that haunted results for a decade. Then Clint explains his current fix: livestreaming every ballot on video before and after it touches a scanner so the machine simply cannot afford to cheat, and how that process accidentally uncovered a counterfeit ballot-stuffing problem. A rare, technical, and slightly jaw-dropping conversation with someone who has seen the guts of the system. Plus cacao, mystery toner, and a Las Vegas geography quiz.

In this episode, Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry are joined by Andrew Harshman of AJF Inspections in Arizona to discuss builder workmanship inspections and the growing demand for detailed inspections of new construction homes. They explore Arizona's workmanship standards for licensed contractors, how these inspections differ from traditional home inspections, and why homeowners are requesting a closer look at cosmetic and construction defects. Andrew explains how his company structures these inspections, the importance of documenting defects within warranty periods, specialized inspection tools, pricing considerations, builder restrictions, and how inspection companies can create a specialized service around new construction standards.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder:https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeawaysBuilder workmanship inspections are more detailed than traditional home inspections and focus heavily on cosmetic defects and construction standards.Arizona has workmanship standards for licensed contractors covering areas such as HVAC, electrical, cabinets, concrete, landscaping, and more.Some defects must be documented within specific periods, including a 10-day window for certain issues, a one-year window for others, and broader two-year warranty coverage.A separate workmanship report helps distinguish standards-based findings from recommendations typically included in a regular home inspection report.These inspections can take two to three times longer than traditional inspections because inspectors document many additional details and cosmetic issues.Common findings include damaged surfaces, stucco issues, landscaping concerns, improperly positioned light switches, tile problems, shower surround gaps, and electrical equipment that is not level, plumb, or true.Inspectors may use specialized tools such as gap gauges, tile-tapping tools, and levels to identify workmanship issues that might otherwise be overlooked.Homeowners should understand that builder workmanship inspections are an additional level of service and are not necessarily included in a standard new construction inspection.Training a dedicated team and using a separate report template can help inspection companies maintain consistency and efficiency.Builder restrictions may limit what inspectors can inspect before the homeowner takes ownership, so these limitations should be clearly communicated and documented.The key takeaway: Builder workmanship inspections can provide significant value for new construction homeowners, but inspectors need clear standards, proper training, specialized tools, and a well-defined scope of service.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome to the Show01:42 Introducing Andrew Harshman of AJF Inspections02:04 Andrew's Background and How He Became a Home Inspector03:47 What Is Launchpad?05:28 Finding Andrew Harshman Online05:51 Why Arizona Is Driving the Builder Workmanship Discussion06:51 Arizona's Workmanship Standards for Licensed Contractors08:19 Warranty Periods and Why Documentation Matters09:23 Blue Tape Inspections vs. Regular Home Inspections10:31 Creating a Separate Builder Workmanship Inspection Report11:38 Comparing Arizona's Standards to Minnesota12:08 The Role of the Registrar of Contractors13:27 Types of New Construction and Warranty Inspections14:53 Pricing Builder Workmanship Inspections15:24 What Is a Builder Workmanship Inspection?16:22 Educating Clients About the Additional Service17:44 Combining New Construction and Warranty Inspections18:37 Why Homeowners Are Requesting Workmanship Inspections19:17 Detailed Standards and Nitpicky Inspection Findings20:43 Do Inspectors Enjoy Doing Builder Workmanship Inspections?21:04 The Challenges and Benefits of Detailed Inspections23:07 Building a Specialized Workmanship Inspection Team24:37 Separate Report Templates for Workmanship Standards25:36 Why Keeping the Workmanship Report Separate Matters26:14 Should a Home Inspector Perform the Workmanship Inspection?27:14 Applying Broad Workmanship Standards to Additional Defects28:40 Using Specialized Tools to Measure Construction Defects29:19 How Builders Respond to Detailed Workmanship Inspections30:10 Electrical Equipment, Levelness, and Acceptable Tolerances31:20 Why New Construction Homes Aren't Always Perfect32:07 Managing Two Inspection Templates During an Inspection32:37 Training Inspectors to Know the Workmanship Standards33:26 Documenting Issues That Fall Outside Specific Standards34:14 How Many Clients Choose the Workmanship Inspection?35:13 The Value of Clearly Defining Inspection Services36:20 The Growing Market for Cosmetic Inspection Services37:06 Creating Workmanship Standards for Different Builders37:37 Builder Restrictions and Communicating Inspection Limitations38:56 Specialized Tools and Techniques for Detailed Inspections40:01 Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Andrew Harshman41:02 Final Thoughts and Listener Feedback
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 28, 2026, focused on property and business improvement district updates, a major energy efficiency pilot project that faced scrutiny, and the county's shifting approach to staffing and technology. Community and Administrative Presentations Adoptable Pet Update: The meeting opened with Roxy, a two-year-old medium-sized stray dog who had successfully recovered from medical treatment and was available for adoption. The Animal Care Services department also highlighted their nomination for "Sacramento Favorites" in several categories. Youth Commission Annual Report: The 15-member advisory board presented their work across six subcommittees, including environmental advocacy (planting 10 trees with 30 volunteers) and academic stress. The Board and staff emphasized the importance of connecting the commission with the Registrar of Voters to improve youth voter pre-registration and turnout. Public Safety and Budgetary Matters PBID Annual Reports: The Board approved 2025 annual reports and 2026-27 assessments for six Property and Business Improvement Districts (PBIDs): Antelope, Arden Arcade, Carmichael, Florin Road, Fulton Avenue, and Watt Avenue. Executive Directors reported on the success of private security patrols and massive trash removal efforts (e.g., 45 tons in Carmichael). Staffing and AI Innovation: Personnel Services reported a stable county vacancy rate of 8.59%, down from 12.3% two years ago. To manage workloads despite position cuts, the county is aggressively implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including a new classification and compensation analysis process that reduces tasks from weeks to hours. Utility Liens: The Board held public hearings and approved transferring delinquent service charges (solid waste, storm drain, and water) to the property tax rolls for collection. Key Policy Debates and Continuances Pilot Energy Savings Project: A proposed contract with Willdan Energy Solutions for energy efficiency and electrification at 799 G Street and 711 G Street was continued following significant Board concerns. Building Longevity: Supervisor Serna questioned the wisdom of investing in the aging 711 G Street building, suggesting it might be razed for downtown redevelopment within 25 years. Solar Limitations: Supervisor Hume expressed dismay that SMUD infrastructure limitations prevented the inclusion of solar carports or rooftop panels in the downtown project area. Legislative Advocacy Protocols: Chair Rodriguez requested a formal review of how Board members are selected to participate in legislative advocacy to ensure the governance framework is applied equally to all supervisors. Agency Updates SHRA Audit: The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency provided an update on its 2024 Single Audit, noting that all five federal award findings requiring corrective action have been cleared. "The Board Report": The County Executive introduced a new short-form video series designed to provide residents and reporters with quick recaps of top agenda items for social media platforms. The meeting was adjourned at 3:28 p.m.

The death of a student can be a traumatic event on campus. Registrars play an important role in the necessary administrative actions following a student's death, and can be instrumental in providing support and institutional outreach to the grieving family. In today's episode, we talk with Kim Barber, University Registrar at Florida State University about some of the practices employed at FSU to navigate these sensitive situations. Key Takeaways:The posthumous degree policy at your institution can apply in specific, but narrow, cases. Institutions might consider other ways to recognize and celebrate the life of a student who dies prior to being eligible for recognition under the posthumous policy. Student deaths affect the community in many ways. Institutions need to be sensitive to the feelings of students, faculty, staff, and the decedent's family when making decisions about public recognitions at ceremonies like commencement. Working with your Dean of Students office (and others) is recommended to best reflect the culture and values of your institution.Dealing with student death is emotionally challenging. Make sure that you're taking care of yourself and your staff, even as you conduct the necessary record-keeping work.

Ken shares how each conference has built on the previous one, leading to this year's emphasis on becoming people who shine and who are radiant with the character of Jesus.Together, they discuss why miracles and healing should always be accompanied by discipleship and character formation, why humility and holiness are essential for lasting ministry, and how believers can pursue both the power of God and the life that reflects His nature. They also explain why Luminosity is designed to be more than an event—it's an invitation to deeper transformation and a renewed commitment to Christ that goes beyond the conference.Whether you're attending Luminosity or simply longing to grow in your walk with God, this conversation will encourage you to pursue a life marked by both holiness and the power of the Holy Spirit.Topics Include:The vision behind LuminosityWhy consecration and holiness matter todayCharacter and power working togetherHealing ministry and discipleshipThe importance of humility in leadershipBuilding lasting spiritual foundationsThe Church's witness in a dark worldWhy revival begins with transformed livesPreparing for what God is doing nextWhat to expect at Luminosity
Political Breakdown continues an ongoing series on election integrity in America. Shasta County has been ground zero in California's fight over election security. Election officials took control of the deep red county's Board of Supervisors and elections office. Although some of those officials lost reelection bids in June, voters also passed a ballot measure to overhaul how the county runs elections, including eliminating mail-in voting and requiring voter ID and hand-counting ballots. That measure is now tied up in court after the Secretary of State and Attorney General sued, arguing it it violates a number of state laws. Marisa discusses it all with Jefferson Public Radio reporter Roman Battaglia. Later, Marisa is joined by Joanna Francescut, the county's newly elected Registrar of Voters, about what it's like to be an election official in Shasta. Francescut hs worked in the elections office since 2008 and takes over in January 2027 just after the consequential midterm elections.

Register for Luminosity: RegisterSign Up for Prayer: Orbis Prayer Ministry Network – Receive prayer for healing, prophecy, inner healing and deliveranceDonate: Give - Orbis MinistriesIn this episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish welcomes back Dr. Richard J. Roberts—medical doctor, former psychotherapist, and theologian with over 40 years in church leadership—to finish the conversation begun last week on the dark side of Christian leadership.Having already covered narcissism, codependency, and paranoia, they turn to two more patterns that quietly derail leaders and wound those around them: the compulsive leader and the passive-aggressive leader. Dr. Richard J. Roberts explains why churches so often unintentionally advertise for—and reward—these very traits, why a gifted second-in-command can unravel once handed the top seat, and how anger that never gets named leaks out sideways and poisons a team.From there the conversation widens. Ken and Dr. Richard J. Roberts walk through the Johari Window as a tool for self-awareness, weigh behavior-change against motive-hunting, and take on the deeper questions: Can these patterns actually be healed? What does real accountability look like? And how do two powerful archetypes—the "Great Mother" who must meet every need, and the "Wise Old Man" who offers secret, deeper-life knowledge—shape (and distort) charismatic church culture. They close with wise, practical counsel for anyone who finds themselves under an unhealthy leader.Together, they discuss:The compulsive leader: perfectionism, control, workaholism, and criticism of othersWhy churches so often advertise for a "compulsive leader"Provision, pay, and the abuse of underpaying ministry workersThe passive-aggressive leader: unowned anger, delay, barbed "humor," and the silent treatmentThe Johari Window—and using "I" statements to open up blind spotsBehavior first, motive later: why changing the "how" often precedes the "why"Whether these patterns are fixable, and why change usually comes through process and discomfortPsychology vs. a theological lens—and recovering the care of soulsTwo archetypes shaping the church: the "Great Mother" and the "Wise Old Man"Discernment, angelic claims, and testing everything against the received gospelWhat to do if you find yourself under an unhealthy leaderHonest, gracious, and deeply practical, this is a hope-filled conversation about the woundedness beneath the dysfunction—and the community, humility, and grace that make real change possible.
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 14, 2026, was highlighted by a controversial budget reconsideration for public safety, a significant land-use decision in Rio Linda, and various community presentations and administrative approvals. Budget Reconsideration: Sheriff's POP Team The most contentious item involved the reconsideration of the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Recommended Budget specifically to address the Sheriff's Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team. Restoration of Funding: Following a 3-2 vote (with Supervisors Serna and Kennedy dissenting), the Board moved to restore approximately $3 million for the POP team by reducing the county's General Fund contingency. Public Debate: Business owners and community members strongly supported the restoration, arguing the POP team provides vital proactive crime prevention and addresses quality-of-life issues like illegal fireworks and encampments. Conversely, social service advocates and community organizers opposed the move, arguing that the budget should prioritize the "social safety net"—including foster youth services and mental health—rather than "bloated" law enforcement budgets. Procedural Context: The Board emphasized that a broader discussion on the final budget, including the potential restoration of other cut programs like Birth and BEYOND, will occur during the September budget revision. Planning and Land Use: Chandra Commons The Board held a public hearing regarding the Chandra Commons Apartments in Rio Linda, focusing on a request to remove 2007 zoning conditions that required the site to be developed as "for-sale" units (condominiums). Developer's Argument: The applicant argued that for-sale units are no longer financially feasible due to high construction costs and a lack of market comparables in the area. Community Opposition: Numerous residents opposed the shift to rental apartments, citing concerns over high density, increased traffic on Dry Creek Road, potential property value decreases, and environmental contaminants from the site's former use as a wrecking yard. Decision: Despite Supervisor Rodriguez's motion to deny the request to protect homeownership opportunities, the Board voted 3-1 to support the staff recommendation, effectively removing the "for-sale" requirement and allowing the developer to proceed with market-rate rentals. Consent Calendar and Administrative Highlights Election Certification: During public comments on the consent calendar, several residents questioned election integrity and non-citizen voting. The Registrar of Voters clarified that all registrations are vetted through a statewide database that confirms citizenship via DMV and Social Security records before information ever reaches the county level. Impact Fee Offset Program: A proposal to expand this program for affordable housing was continued to July 28 to allow for the participation of the full Board, as Supervisors Rodriguez and Hume expressed concerns about using General Fund dollars to subsidize private developers during a deficit. Airport Improvements: The Board approved architectural amendments for the Sacramento International Airport, leading to a discussion on finding "efficiencies of scale" by seeking volume discounts for major equipment maintenance, such as chillers, across all county facilities. Mental Health: The Board approved the expansion of school-based mental health programs to 35 additional school sites. Public Hearings and Departmental Reports One-Year Action Plan (HUD): Staff presented the 2027 plan for federal entitlement funding (CDBG/HOME), which estimates $6.55 million for projects focusing on ADA park improvements, pedestrian safety (e.g., safe routes to schools), and senior services like Meals on Wheels. Sacramento Welcome Home: The Department of Child, Family and Adult Services (DCFAS) provided its quarterly report on temporary foster youth stays, noting a stabilization in operations and zero staff injuries this quarter due to enhanced training and a proactive partnership with the Sheriff's Department. Service Assessments: The Board approved annual service charges for Zone 3 mobility programs and Landscape Maintenance District Zone 4, despite a "no" vote from Supervisor Rodriguez regarding the use of road funds to supplement the landscape district's budget gap. Community Recognitions The meeting included a presentation for Parks and Recreation Month, highlighting a new $25 summer annual pass for families. The Board also recognized Probation Supervision Week, with staff and supervisors sharing stories of the department's positive impact on rehabilitation and community safety. The meeting was adjourned at 6:14 p.m.
Sometimes addressing a structural issue takes some out-of-the-box thinking. Northeastern University, under the guidance of Jessica Liebowitz, Faculty Director of the Student-Administrator Partnerships Initiative, brought together technically-accomplished students to serve as Fellows to assist administrators in addressing a serious or intractable institutional problem. In this episode we hear about one project at Northeastern tackled by two Fellows and the Registrar's Office staff focusing on student demand for classes, bottlenecks in the curricular pathways, and ways these data might be used to improve the student experience. Key Takeaways:Each of us in higher education has the opportunity and the responsibility to work toward improving the student experience. Sometimes that will require being creative about ways to bring together different individuals to think differently about a problem, and to carve out time to work on solutions. The Student-Administrator Partnerships Initiative at Northeastern is a great example of one way to leverage expertise on your campus. Giving capable grad students access, guidance, and resources can open a world of possibilities. With any project, be open to where the project might take you. Sometimes what you learn along the way is more important than what you originally set out to accomplish.

Roberts and Joel Taylor for an insightful conversation about what healthy apostolic leadership really looks like.With more than forty years of church leadership experience—and a unique background in family medicine, psychotherapy, theology, and missional leadership—Dr. Richard Roberts brings a thoughtful perspective to one of the Church's most pressing questions: How do we cultivate leaders who build healthy, flourishing communities instead of unhealthy systems?Together, they explore the biblical model of leadership, contrasting today's organizational approaches with the New Testament vision of the Church as a spiritual family. They discuss why spiritual fatherhood matters, the dangers of pursuing titles and status, how authentic apostolic ministry produces communities rather than platforms, and why identity must always come before function.Topics Include:What healthy apostolic leadership looks likeWhy the Church is called to be a familySpiritual fathers and mothers in the KingdomThe problem with titles and statusLeadership through relationship instead of hierarchyWhy identity comes before functionBuilding genuine Christian communityFamily-based churches and church plantingThe role of hospitality in discipleshipCreating healthy cultures for future generationsWhether you lead a movement or simply love Jesus and serve in your local church, this is a clarifying, refreshing conversation about what the church was always meant to be.
In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Solana Rostick!About Solana Rostick: Registrar and Collections Manager at Clark Atlanta University Art Museum. An emerging museum professional dedicated to ensuring underrepresented groups are reflected within institutional collection holdings. Born in Atlanta, raised in Tampa, Florida, and recently completed her Master's in Museum Studies from the University of Florida.In our conversation, Rostick walks through her journey into the museum world—from early childhood memories of making art with shaving cream on windows at age three to being inspired by her father, one of the few Black professional photographers in the Tampa area. She recalls a pivotal museum visit where seeing Mickalene Thomas's " Ain't I a Woman " became a moment of revelation: "for the first time, I'm seeing myself represented in art." That moment sparked her decision to pursue art history and museum work.She digs into her graduate thesis on Gallery 32, a groundbreaking Black-owned art space run by Suzanne Jackson in 1960s Los Angeles during the Black Arts Movement. We discuss her first six months as Registrar at Clark Atlanta University Art Museum, the challenges of transitioning from "internship mode" to being the person colleagues turn to for direction, and practical steps for diversifying museum collections. As she puts it, representation matters: "whose voices are we missing from this collection?"She shares insights on podcast listening habits, the Atlanta art scene, the importance of in-person connections over social media, and why she believes real conversations—not just memes—build community.Be sure to follow Solana Rostick and Clark Atlanta University Art Museum (@CAUArtMuseum on Instagram) to keep up with her work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

Register for Luminosity: RegisterSign Up for Prayer: Orbis Prayer Ministry Network – Receive prayer for healing, prophecy, inner healing and deliveranceDonate: Give - Orbis MinistriesIn this episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish and Joel Taylor tackle a term most Christians have never heard but desperately need to understand: covenantal nomism.At its heart, the idea is simple but transformative—Israel never became the people of God by working their way in. They were chosen purely by grace, "not because you were impressive, not because you were big." (see Deuteronomy 7:6-8). The law was never the entrance fee; it was the way God's people stayed in, lived out, and were identified as belonging to His household. The same pattern holds for believers today.Using the picture of an adopted child learning the "rules of the house," Ken and Joel show how grace brings us into the family—and how the Holy Spirit then empowers us to actually live the life we've been called to.Together, they discuss:What covenantal nomism is and why it dissolves the false war between grace and obedienceThe adoption analogy—learning the rules of the Father's houseA walkthrough of Colossians 3: putting to death the old self and putting on the newWhy "be holy as I am holy" means being set apart, not earning your placeA walkthrough of Galatians 5: the works of the flesh vs. the fruit of the SpiritWhy being "not under the law" doesn't mean living however you wantHow unrepentant sin opens the door to the demonic—and why deliverance helps believers stay in boundsThe difference between inner healing and deliveranceWhy even a single sinful action can carry real spiritual consequencesDonald Hagner's insight: we're freed from the law to produce the very righteousness the law demandedThis conversation is both deeply theological and intensely practical—a corrective to hyper-grace thinking and a hope-filled vision of the normal, victorious Christian life lived as sons and daughters who honor their Father.

How do we move beyond simply checking a box and develop a genuine hunger for God's Word?Drawing from their own journeys, Ken, Joel, and Kady discuss how Scripture has shaped their lives, why the Old Testament still matters, and how reading the Bible consistently can transform the way we think, pray, and hear from God.Ken shares the Bible reading plans that influenced him throughout his life, explains the value of reading entire books of the Bible in one sitting, and offers practical advice for anyone wanting to build a lifelong habit of engaging with Scripture.Kady also shares her testimony of asking God for a deeper hunger for His Word—and how that prayer radically changed her relationship with the Bible.Together, they explore:Why reading the whole Bible mattersThe difference between information and transformationHow the Holy Spirit helps illuminate ScriptureWhy the Old Testament is still essential for believersThe value of reading large portions of ScriptureHow modern technology affects our ability to read deeplyPractical Bible reading plans and habitsWhy physical Bibles still have unique valueHow Scripture shapes spiritual maturityDeveloping a lifelong hunger for God's WordThis episode is both practical and encouraging for new believers, seasoned Christians, pastors, and anyone who wants to grow deeper in their relationship with God through His Word.

“University Registrar” isn't usually included in the list of dream jobs for children. So how did we all wind up in these higher education leadership roles, and what have we learned along the way? In this episode, Andrew Marx, University Registrar at Clark University talks about his unconventional, yet not altogether uncommon path to the registrar's office. Andy shares his reflections on becoming a higher education leader and gives advice to those moving through the process. Key Takeaways:Take the time to reflect and decide what kind of a leader you want to be. Try to do this as you're moving through your career growth as time for self-reflection is at a premium when you actually get “the job.”Being able to communicate your vision and sell the story of your office is an important skill. There's a way to say “no” that doesn't shut down future conversations, and emphasizing the reason you're involved can go a long way to making sure you're included in future decisions. The registrar's role looks different at different institutions. And there is often tension between what the community expects of the registrar position or office and what the registrar brings to the table.

Register for Luminosity: RegisterSign Up for Prayer: Orbis Prayer Ministry Network – Receive prayer for healing, prophecy, inner healing and deliveranceDonate: Give - Orbis MinistriesIn this thought-provoking episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish and Joel Taylor explore one of the most misunderstood tensions in modern Christianity: the relationship between grace, obedience, the Old Testament, and what it truly means to live as the people of God. The conversation begins by addressing a common fear among Christians—that taking the Old Testament seriously somehow places believers “back under the law.” Ken carefully unpacks why this mindset misunderstands both the Old and New Covenants. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical examples, he demonstrates that God's nature has never changed and that the Old Testament remains foundational for understanding the New Testament. Together, they discuss:Why “all Scripture is God-breathed” originally referred to the Old TestamentThe danger of functionally ignoring the Old TestamentGod as Father throughout both covenantsThe meaning of holiness, honor, and representing the family name of GodThe concept of Tamim—walking upright before GodHow grace is not merely forgiveness, but divine empowermentWhy faith was never meant to remain passiveThe modern crisis of lawlessness and loss of honorAnd what the New Testament actually requires of believers living as God's peopleKen also gives a powerful walkthrough of 2 Peter 1, showing how Christians are called to actively grow in virtue, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—not to earn salvation, but because they already belong to the household of God. This episode is both theological and deeply practical, offering a corrective to hyper-grace thinking while presenting a beautiful vision of living faithfully as sons and daughters who honor their Father.

Drawing from decades of international ministry experience, Ken shares wisdom from hundreds of ministry trips across churches, conferences, and nations. The discussion explores not only how to prepare spiritually and practically before a ministry event, but also how to navigate spiritual warfare during the trip and—most importantly—how to sustain long-term fruit afterward. Topics include:The importance of prayer and fasting before ministry eventsHow unbelief can quietly hinder breakthroughCommon forms of spiritual warfare during conferencesWhy flexibility and servant-heartedness matter on ministry teamsHow conflict and offense can derail powerful moves of GodThe dangers of platform culture and performance mentalityWhy churches must implement what they receive instead of waiting for the next eventAnd how lasting kingdom culture is built through consistency, not hypeKen also shares candid stories from ministry travel, lessons learned from past failures, and his heart for raising up churches and leaders who can continue the work long after the guest speaker leaves. At its core, this episode is a reminder that ministry trips are not about creating spiritual spectators—but about equipping the Church to carry the work of the Kingdom forward themselves.

Against the backdrop of recent moral failures, burnout, narcissism, and public scandals within Christian leadership, Ken and Joel unpack the biblical and practical importance of dealing with “cracks in the foundation” before stepping into greater responsibility. The conversation explores:Why gifting can outgrow characterThe danger of being promoted beyond what your soul can sustainHow hidden weaknesses become exposed under pressureThe role of teachability, humility, and communityWhy the pastoral epistles focus so heavily on simple character traitsAnd how God often develops leaders in hidden seasons before public ministryDrawing from Scripture, leadership experience, church history, and stories from figures like John Wimber, the episode offers a sobering but hope-filled reminder:The greatest threat to ministry is rarely lack of gifting—it is undealt-with character.This episode is a needed call back to:gentleness,faithfulness,purity,teachability,emotional maturity,and deep formation in Christ.Because in the Kingdom of God, who you are matters more than how impressive you appear.

The conversation centers on one of the most debated topics in biblical archaeology:Could the real Mount Sinai actually be in Saudi Arabia?Drawing from Scripture, archaeology, geography, ancient petroglyphs, and firsthand exploration, Ken and Jo unpack the growing evidence suggesting that the biblical Mount Sinai—also called Mount Horeb—may be located east of the Gulf of Aqaba in ancient Arabia rather than on the traditional Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. From the altar of the golden calf…to boundary markers described in Exodus…to the split rock at Horeb…to petroglyphs depicting Moses with raised hands during the battle with Amalek…this episode explores how modern discoveries appear to align remarkably with the biblical narrative. The episode also highlights:The hospitality they experienced in Saudi ArabiaThe role of Scripture in guiding archaeological inquiryWhy Paul's statement in Galatians 4:25 mattersThe spiritual significance of rediscovering biblical placesAnd how these discoveries reinforce confidence in the reliability of God's WordThe central message:The Bible is not mythology detached from history—God's Word stands up to examination, geography, and time.How to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book, On the Road with the Holy Spirit- Partner with Orbis Financially- Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?
