⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥Understanding Beg Bounties and Their Growing ImpactThis episode examines an issue that many organizations have begun to notice, yet often do not know how to interpret. Sean Martin is joined by Casey Ellis, Founder of Bugcrowd and Co-Founder of disclose.io, to break down what a “beg bounty” is, why it is increasing, and how security leaders should think about it in the context of responsible vulnerability handling.Bug Bounty vs. Beg BountyCasey explains the core principles of a traditional bug bounty program. At its core, a bug bounty is a structured engagement in which an organization invites security researchers to identify vulnerabilities and pays rewards based on severity and impact. It is scoped, governed, and linked to an established policy. The process is predictable, defensible, and aligned with responsible disclosure norms.A beg bounty is something entirely different. It occurs when an unsolicited researcher claims to have found a vulnerability and immediately asks whether the organization offers incentives or rewards. In many cases, the claim is vague or unsupported and is often based on automated scanner output rather than meaningful research. Casey notes that these interactions can feel like unsolicited street windshield washing, where the person provides an unrequested service and then asks for payment.Why It Matters for CISOs and Security TeamsSecurity leaders face a difficult challenge. These messages appear serious on the surface, yet most offer no actionable details. Responding to each one triggers incident response workflows, consumes time, and raises unnecessary internal concern. Casey warns that these interactions can create confusion about legality, expectations, and even the risk of extortion.At the same time, ignoring every inbound message is not a realistic long-term strategy. Some communications may contain legitimate findings from well-intentioned researchers who lack guidance. Casey emphasizes the importance of process, clarity, and policy.How Organizations Can PrepareAccording to Casey, the most effective approach is to establish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy. This becomes a lightning rod for inbound security information. By directing researchers to a defined path, organizations reduce noise, set boundaries, and reinforce safe communication practices.The episode highlights the need for community norms, internal readiness, and a shared understanding between researchers and defenders. Casey stresses that good-faith researchers should never introduce payment into the first contact. Organizations should likewise be prepared to distinguish between noise and meaningful security input.This conversation offers valuable context for CISOs, security leaders, and business owners navigating the growing wave of unsolicited bug claims and seeking practical ways to address them.⬥GUEST⬥Casey Ellis, Founder and Advisor at Bugcrowd | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseyjohnellis/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥RESOURCES⬥Inspiring Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/caseyjohnellis_im-thinking-we-should-start-charging-bug-activity-7383974061464453120-caEWDisclose.io: https://disclose.io/⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

The Gospel lesson for Christ the King Sunday shows us Jesus being mocked on the cross and his famous words to the repentant thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise." Peter Walsh and John Kennedy explain why this is the perfect piece of scripture for Christ the King, how this is a lesson in divine humility, and why we should be cautious about exclusively believing the kingdom is on Earth or elsewhere.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and Application:Kingship Reimagined: What does this passage teach about God's power expressed through humility rather than dominance?Forgiveness in the Face of Violence: What stands out to you about Jesus offering forgiveness before anyone repents?The Meaning of Paradise: Jesus' promise of “today you will be with me in Paradise” reframes heaven as companionship with Christ. How might this reshape how we think about death, hope, or eternal life?Personal Reflection:Opening the Heart: The clergy describe salvation not as a transaction but as an opening of the heart. Where do you sense your own heart opening—or resisting—God's love?Responding to Mockery and Pain: What experiences in your life make it difficult to respond with the mercy and restraint Jesus shows here?Paradise as God's Presence: If Paradise is walking with the King—presence, companionship, intimacy—when have you sensed moments of “Paradise” in this life?Broader Spiritual Considerations:The Nature of Salvation: The clergy critique overly formulaic views of salvation. In your own understanding, what is salvation for? How might this passage broaden or complicate your theology of who is saved and how?Love as the First Word: Peter suggests Christians often lead with sin rather than love. What might change—within the Church, or in the wider world—if love were always the first word?Living Between the Gardens: If Eden represents our origin and Paradise our fulfillment, what does it mean to live faithfully in the “in-between”—in a world marked by both beauty and brokenness?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Send us a textDid Vatican II require the priest to face the people? Short answer: no.In this episode, we unpack *ad orientem*—what it is, what the Roman Missal actually says, and why the Church's worship faces the Lord.— EPISODE SUMMARY —Fr. Dan and Ken walk through the Church's teaching and practice on Mass orientation. We clarify common misconceptions about Vatican II, explain the idea of “liturgical East,” look at the Roman Missal rubrics that tell the priest when to turn and face the people, and review the year-2000 Vatican clarification that versus populum is an option—not an obligation. Pastoral takeaways: mutual openness, reverence, and a vertical focus on God.— KEY POINTS —• What “ad orientem” means: priest and people facing the Lord together  • “Liturgical East”: crucifix/tabernacle as our shared focus  • Vatican II: what it did—and did **not**—say about orientation  • 1964 instruction on freestanding altars: an option for celebration facing the people  • Roman Missal rubrics: why “turn to face the people” appears (and what that implies)  • 2000 clarification (CDW): facing the people is **not** obligatory  • Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger): avoid labels; seek the best realization of the liturgy  • Pastoral how-to: reintroducing ad orientem prudently and catechetically— QUOTES/REFERENCES —• Michael Lang, *Turning Towards the Lord* (foreword by Joseph Ratzinger)  • General Instruction / Roman Missal rubrics (on turning to face the people)  • CDW, 2000 clarification on celebration facing the people— CHAPTERS —00:00 Intro — Ad Orientem Unveiled: What Vatican II Really Taught01:04 Homily begins: Fr Dan Yasinski: What Vatican II didn't say03:08 What “Ad Orientem” means & it's historical significance 05:28 Why “Liturgical East” matters (crucifix & tabernacle as focus)06:21 Does the Church allow for Ad Orientem?09:53 Benedict XVI (Ratzinger): mutual openness, not labels11:38 Interview with Fr Dan Begins - Did Vatican ask priest to face the people?15:36 Q&A segment: What are the rubrics? 18:24 How are the rubrics over looked?19:58 Why are the instructions from the Vatican on Ad Orientem ignored?22:32 Responding to the critics of Ad Orientem worship27:27 Is Ad Orientem worship non-inclusive?30:46 Conclusion & invitation: “We turn to the Lord”If this blessed you, please follow/rate the show and share it with a friend.  Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

The Kingdom Is Already Here: Responding to God's Presence Today Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is not something that arrives with visible signs . . . . . . because it is already present among us. The Gospel warns against chasing dramatic predictions about the end times or following voices that claim secret knowledge about God's plans. Christ emphasizes that His final coming will be unmistakable and needs no advance decoding, but before that He Himself must be rejected by the present generation. The Homily reflects on how people today, like in every era, are tempted to run after loud, strident voices . . . political, cultural, or spiritual . . . that promise clarity or insight yet draw them away from the Gospel. True wisdom, the preacher notes, is quiet, penetrating, rooted in charity, and grounded in the Church's authentic teaching. The Kingdom of God Demands a Response Now The Kingdom of God demands a response now, not later. Christ is already present . . . especially in the Eucharist . . . even when His presence is not visible to the human eye. The real question is not when the Kingdom will come, but how each person responds to God's presence today. If Christians seek first the Kingdom, everything else will fall into its proper place; but if they focus on lesser things first, they risk missing the Kingdom altogether.

Churches follow Jesus to search for and restore wandering sheep. Responding to sin and searching for sinners in local churches is going to be a challenge until Jesus returns. But Jesus gives us a road map. If last week described ‘why’ we should search for wandering sheep then this week describes ‘how’ we search for wandering sheep. This is about a rescue mission.

This week at Venture, Pastor Di continues our Journey Through Ephesians series with a powerful message from chapter 3 — a reminder of just how deeply God loves us. Paul writes from prison, yet his perspective is full of purpose. Even in chains, he sees his suffering as a platform to share the Gospel. Through this chapter, Pastor Di challenges us to see life through that same lens — to believe we are loved and chosen, to walk confidently in God's presence, and to be transformed by His passion for us. If we truly understood how much God loves us, it would change everything. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Venture Church Online 00:12 – Honoring our Veterans 00:49 – Pastor Di introduces Journey Through Ephesians 01:10 – The city of Ephesus and historical background 02:15 – Review of Ephesians 1 & 2 03:27 – Unity in salvation through Christ 03:53 – Introduction to Ephesians 3 — the bridge between identity and action 04:40 – Who God says we are: loved, chosen, free, forgiven 05:36 – What if you really believed God loves you? 06:10 – Opening prayer 07:14 – Paul's perspective from prison 08:56 – God's mysterious plan revealed 10:45 – Finding purpose in hardship 12:07 – Paul's suffering and the spread of the Gospel 13:12 – Turning captivity into calling 15:46 – Seeing trials through the lens of God's love 16:19 – Our position: Bold and confident access to God 17:36 – No need to earn His favor — we're already accepted 18:34 – Understanding transforms head knowledge into heart change 19:20 – The Passion of Christ — the ultimate expression of love 21:56 – From knowing God's love to being transformed by it 23:18 – Pastor Di's personal story of surrender 26:23 – What real transformation looks like 26:56 – How wide, long, high, and deep is His love 27:53 – Nothing can separate us from God's love (Romans 8:38) 29:18 – Be filled with the fullness of God 31:16 – Jesus — the fullness and proof of God's love 33:34 – Communion: Remembering Christ's sacrifice 35:17 – The blood that forgives and restores 36:20 – Responding to God's love and forgiveness 38:01 – Prayer of surrender 39:09 – Closing worship: Here I Am to Worship

This is the noon All Local for November 17, 2025.

Episode #432: Myanmar researcher Lin Jin Fu investigates the rise of scam compounds that blend human trafficking, digital fraud, and organized crime. His study, Scam haven: Responding to surging cyber crime and human trafficking in Myanmar, traces their expansion from Chinese “scam houses” into a transnational industry stretching across Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos. Originally rooted in China's underground economies, these groups migrated outward as Beijing cracked down and the pandemic restricted domestic activity. They flourished in lawless borderlands such as the Golden Triangle and northern Shan State, where weak governance allowed them to create fortified compounds that combine physical captivity with online deception. Scam centers now anchor wider illicit economies— drugs, gambling, black-market banking, and prostitution— worth at least $37 billion a year. In 2023, the Three Brotherhood Alliance, with apparent Chinese backing, attacked major compounds in Laukkai during Operation 1027, rescuing trafficked Chinese nationals and handing over several ringleaders who were later sentenced to death. At the same time, Beijing launched a domestic campaign, flooding WeChat and Weibo daily with anti-fraud messages. Yet the system persists. Frightened operators briefly suspended work elsewhere, then reopened on the condition that they avoid targeting Chinese citizens. Every compound, Lin Jin Fu explains, survives by securing protection from an armed host—usually the junta or allied Border Guard Forces— while some ethnic armies tolerate or tax them. These networks adapt easily. Big bosses flee by helicopter; smaller scams need only laptops, generators, and internet. The old “pig-butchering” crypto fraud now employees sophisticated AItools, and online-gambling scams targeting countries across South America dominate Tachileik. Sadly, for many impoverished young Burmese, scam centers are the only escape from conscription and joblessness. Meanwhile, inside the compounds, workers endure coercion, sexual abuse, and debt bondage. Surrounding towns boom briefly, then collapse into ghost cities once crackdowns hit. Lin Jin Fu warns that for scam centers to fully cease operations across Myanmar, the military junta has to go. Beyond that, he emphasizes that absent legal migration routes and alternative employment, the industry will continue to endure. “For drugs, people had an alternative— grow coffee instead of poppy,” he says. “For scams, what is the alternative?”

The Irish Government paid almost €1 million over a four-year period to provide security to US military forces at Shannon Airport. Responding to a parliamentary question from Sinn Féin, Tánaiste and Minister for Defence Simon Harris has admitted the costs of Aid to the Civil Power, or ATCP duties at Shannon Airport, came to over €965,000 between 2018 and 2021. It's understood the costs for these services from 2022 onwards are still being collated and will be released at a later date. Shannonwatch founder Edward Horgan believes the overall costs associated with the US military's use of the facility over the last number of decades are much higher.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, Heather invites us into a time of Scripture reading, reflection, and prayer on this 16th day of November. We journey through Second Corinthians, chapters 3 to 6, exploring profound themes of transformation, reconciliation, and the call to come home to God. Heather draws beautiful parallels between nature—like the instinctive return of salmon and migrating birds—and our own spiritual longing to return to our Creator. With warmth and sincerity, she reminds us that God has placed a homing device in all of us, drawing us back to himself, and that we're entrusted with the message of reconciliation—inviting others home as well. Alongside heartfelt readings and honest reflections, Heather leads us in prayers of gratitude, guidance, and intercession, affirming the truth that we are loved, restored, and sent out to extend that love to the world. Whether you're joining from Oregon, or anywhere else in the world, this episode is an invitation to fix your eyes on Jesus, experience His transforming love, and remember—you are not alone, and you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God is calling us back home. All of creation seems to understand this ache, this homing pull. On the Oregon coast, salmon and migratory birds instinctively know to return to the place where their journey began, even though they can't explain it. It's as if they're responding to a deep inner voice—come back, come home. Within each person there is a spiritual homing device, meant to lead us to our true home in God. The ache for home was damaged through Adam, but in Christ it has been mended. We are no longer lost; God has reconciled us to Himself and made a way for every man, woman, and child to return to the origin of their design. As Heather shared from 2 Corinthians, God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. Now we have the great privilege and calling to share this ministry of reconciliation, to invite others toward home. Responding to God's call is like the salmon's journey. When they leave the salt water for fresh, transformation begins—they are being prepared by nature for the final leg of their journey. In the same way, the Spirit transforms us as we turn toward God, as we say yes to the call to come home. That new life takes root as we walk this way—a life that is a gift, a life reconciled, restored, forgiven. Heather reminds us: the ache is real, and so is home. God does not leave us broken and wandering, but comes to mend us, to give us direction, to make us whole. Now, through His Spirit and love, we are equipped and commissioned to encourage others to hear that same invitation—come home to God. As we journey toward Him, transformation bears fruit in our hearts; new life is born. Let us remember the call and extend it to those around us. Let our lives and our words speak of this amazing reconciliation, of God's relentless love and mercy. May the Spirit unscramble our hearts, guide us, and give us strength for the path. That is my prayer today—for my own soul, for my family, and for you. May we hear the voice and step boldly toward our true home in God. May we invite others and find joy in the journey together. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Tom Logue - November 16th 2025 A soft heart welcomes the kingdom — a hard heart keeps it out. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:1–12, where Jesus is confronted about marriage, divorce, and sexuality. In a culture — ancient and modern — that treats people and marriage as disposable, Jesus calls us back to God's original design: one man and one woman, united in covenant, not consumerism. Tom exposes how hardness of heart keeps us from being formed by God, and how the softness of surrender leads to real freedom. From Play-Doh analogies to powerful truths about covenant love and sexuality, this message challenges every listener — married or single — to yield to the Artist's hands and trust His good design.

Paul Axton preaches: Do we respond to empire with the resurrection faith of the nonviolent martyrs of Daniel and Maccabees or with the violence of the Mattathias and his friends in the Maccabean revolt. Jesus identity with the Son of Man of Daniel and his invoking the nonviolent response to the coming desolation and destruction portrayed in Maccabees provides the resolution to how to respond to evil empires.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

Do you ever wish difficult emotions would just disappear? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller reveal why every feeling, especially the bothersome kind, is actually a valuable resource for entrepreneurial growth. Discover how turning frustration into clarity and action can lead to your next breakthrough, and learn the thinking tools that transform emotional energy into future results. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How technology has increased conversations about feelings in daily life.Why your feelings serve as a built-in warning system for your thinking.How to quickly gain clarity instead of staying stuck when something bothers you.Why others struggle to truly understand your personal feelings.How Dan's own feelings inspired all of the Strategic Coach® thinking tools. Show Notes: Feelings are signals, not solutions—they alert you to something worth thinking about. Feelings don't transform themselves; vision and capability do. The real power lies in transforming emotional energy into future-focused action. Feeling “bothered” is raw material for entrepreneurial creativity and improvement. Successful entrepreneurs treat bother as a resource, turning it into planning and innovation. Asking, “If I weren't bothered, what would I be doing?” can pivot your mindset and open new possibilities. Responding thoughtfully, rather than reacting emotionally, leads to better results for you and your team. You can't control others' reactions, but you can fully own your own process and responses. Ignoring your feelings (or acting out impulsively) usually makes things worse. Every feeling brings energy—use it to fuel thinking, problem solving, and the creation of new tools. Mastery comes from skillfully transforming negative emotions into positive action, not from avoiding them. The entrepreneur's job is to turn low-productivity “bother” into high-productivity breakthroughs. Don't aim for perfect detachment; instead, get better at using what bothers you for future advantage. Resources: Not Being Bothered by Dan Sullivan The Impact Filter™ The Entrepreneurial Attitude Multiplication By Subtraction by Shannon Waller

We break down the 2025 Bank of America Study of Philanthropy with the researchers who created it — exploring what this concentration means for nonprofit sustainability and the future of philanthropy. There's a number that keeps showing up in conversations about American philanthropy. And it tells two completely different stories depending on how you read it.Over the past decade, charitable giving from affluent households increased more than 30%. That's remarkable. That suggests a sector that's thriving. Resilient. Responding to need.But here's the other story that same data tells.Donor participation dropped from 91% to 81%. Twenty million American households stopped giving to charity entirely. First-time donor retention? Below 20%.Fewer people are writing checks. They're just writing much bigger ones.So which story matters more? The one about record-breaking totals? Or the one about democratic participation collapsing?To answer that question, I wanted to talk with the researchers who created the data in the first place.Amir Pasic is the Dean of Indiana University's Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. It's the world's first and only school devoted entirely to the study of generosity. He oversees Giving USA — the longest-running report on American charitable giving.Bill Jarvis is the Managing Director at Bank of America Private Bank. He's spent nearly two decades tracking how wealthy Americans give through the Bank of America Study of Philanthropy. He bridges wealth management and charitable giving in ways few others can.Together, they've surveyed over 15,000 affluent households since 2006. Their 2025 findings reveal a sector at a crossroads.And that crossroads is exactly what we're exploring today.Listeners, now you can text us your comments or questions by clicking this link.*** If you liked this episode, please help spread the word.
