In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Allen Hall: Alright, first up, Grenergy is selling 23 percent of its Oasis del Atacama project. To CONT Global A KKR company for up to $962 million. The sale includes three of the seven phases of what would be the world's largest energy storage facility, compromising 451 megawatts of solar and two and a half gigawatt hours of storage capacity. The three phases are already under construction and will generate more than 1.3 terawatt hours of energy annually. Now, Phil, why is Grinergy removing itself from some of these projects? Is it cash constriction? Philip Totaro: This one's kind of fascinating because this isn't just a simple asset rotation. I think this is more that they have to be able to dump some of their pipeline in order to have some cash on hand to cover operations of existing assets as well as eventually reinvest in their pipeline. But this, normally when you do an asset rotation, you either sell off a small percentage minority stake in your asset portfolio, or you take, some of your projects and sell them off. This is a fairly large deal for a good chunk of capacity that, Contour Global is is going to have as part of their portfolio now, bolstering what KKR's doing with their backing as well. KKR wants Contour Global to start expanding more and it's put them On the hunt for, asset acquisitions like this. So, it's a good fit, but it's an interesting move from Greenergy at this point to really start getting some more cash in the door. Joel Saxum: Aside from the sale here, we're talking, M& A here in Newsflash. I want to focus on this Grenergy's asset rotation target. So they're looking at, they have a target for 2026 and ensures funding for a 2. 6 billion euro strategic plan. That strategic plan is to become a world leader in energy storage, which, I mean, if you've been following anything that we talk about on the podcast, in the last few years, energy storage has become a very important part Allen Hall: A consortium led by APG Asset Management NV and Australian Retirement Trust will acquire Riverstone Holdings LLC equity stake in Pattern Energy. Now, Pattern Energy is currently developing over 25 gigawatts of renewable energy and transmission projects for nearly 10, 000 megawatts across North America, either operating or under construction. Phil, Pattern Energy is a privately held company up to this point, but they are seeking a little bit of money to help with these projects that they have going on, Sunzea being one of them. Philip Totaro: Yeah, absolutely. And the fact that Riverstone Holdings is selling out their stake. They were one of the founding partners along with management for Pattern. It's a big signal for Pattern to be able to take a next step in terms of their growth plan. But also a big deal where, these two pension companies are investment and an investment fund is coming in alongside the Canadian pension plan investment board that also owns a stake along with the pattern managemen...

STORY 5: Cherokee Postpones Votes on Townhome Development to Dec. 17 Cherokee County commissioners have postponed two votes on a proposed 102-townhome development near Patriots Park following public opposition. Developer Ashton Woods plans to build on 10.3 acres at Kellogg Creek Road and Victory Drive, with townhome sizes ranging from 880 to 1,176 square feet and a proposed density of 11.95 units per acre. Changes sought include removing a 2005 zoning condition requiring left turn lanes and reclassifying a 0.66-acre county-parcel to allow seven additional units. Residents voiced traffic and safety concerns, opposed selling the county parcel, and suggested the land could enhance Patriots Park. Nearly 600 people signed a petition against the project. Commissioners will now vote on Dec. 17 to consider all related requests.

This Day in Legal History: Medicare Bill SignedOn July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Medicare bill into law, marking a significant milestone in American healthcare. This landmark legislation, part of Johnson's Great Society programs, aimed to address the healthcare needs of the nation's elderly population. With the stroke of his pen, Johnson established Medicare, a federal program providing comprehensive health insurance to Americans aged 65 and older. The bill was signed at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, with former President Harry S. Truman by Johnson's side, recognizing Truman's early efforts to promote national health insurance.Medicare went into effect the following year, in 1966, offering hospital and medical insurance to millions of senior citizens. This historic act transformed the landscape of healthcare in the United States, ensuring that older Americans would no longer face financial ruin due to medical expenses. Medicare's introduction also set the stage for future expansions, including the addition of prescription drug coverage and the establishment of Medicare Advantage plans. Over the decades, Medicare has become a cornerstone of the U.S. healthcare system, providing vital health services to millions of Americans and significantly reducing poverty among the elderly. The signing of the Medicare bill remains a pivotal moment in the pursuit of healthcare equity in the United States.A federal appeals court overturned a $79 million attorneys' fee award in T-Mobile US Inc.'s $350 million settlement of a data breach lawsuit. The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that the lower court abused its discretion by approving an excessive fee award in a case that settled quickly and without extensive legal proceedings. The court reversed the fee award, reinstated the objection of class member Cassie Hampe, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The litigation stemmed from a 2021 data breach affecting 76.6 million people, with settlement approval sought in July 2022. Judge Brian C. Wimes initially approved the fee award in June 2023, dismissing objections from Hampe and Connie Pentz as abusive. However, the appeals court found no evidence of bad faith or extortion by Hampe and criticized the lower court for not adjusting the fee award based on the hours worked by class counsel. The court noted that class counsel's fee request amounted to an hourly rate of $7,000 to $9,500, deemed unreasonable. The case was sent back for further consideration, with the involvement of multiple law firms representing the parties.T-Mobile Deal's $79 Million Attorneys' Fee Award Gets OverturnedBig Law firms are reevaluating their strategies following a ruling in the Eastern District of Virginia that barred Vinson & Elkins from representing wood-pellet maker Enviva Inc. in its bankruptcy due to a conflict of interest with private equity firm Riverstone Investment Group LLC. This decision has raised concerns about potential conflicts when firms represent both private equity sponsors and their distressed portfolio companies in Chapter 11 proceedings. The ruling could force law firms to choose between lucrative private equity deals and bankruptcy cases, potentially reshaping their business models.The court rejected Vinson & Elkins' proposal to separate their work for Riverstone and Enviva, citing ethical concerns. This outcome could lead to more aggressive challenges by the US Trustee and might require law firms to adopt stricter conflict management practices. Although some view the decision as specific to the case's facts, it signals a need for firms to better navigate ethical responsibilities.The ruling has already influenced how law firms approach bankruptcy cases involving private equity-backed companies, with future decisions possibly reaching higher courts for further clarification. Despite this, experts like Nancy Rapoport and Bruce A. Markell believe that Big Law firms will adapt and continue to thrive by finding compliant ways to manage conflicts of interest.Big Law Confronts Tail Risk Threat to Private Equity BankruptcyA New York state judge has ruled against appointing an outside monitor for the National Rifle Association (NRA) but banned former CEO Wayne LaPierre from serving as an officer or director for ten years. The decision by Justice Joel Cohen of the Manhattan Supreme Court comes from a four-year-old civil case initiated by state Attorney General Letitia James. Although a mixed outcome, the ruling followed a trial stage where jurors found LaPierre and others guilty of financial mismanagement, including funding LaPierre's lavish lifestyle. LaPierre was ordered to repay $4.35 million to the NRA, and former finance chief Wilson Phillips was ordered to repay $2 million.James sued the NRA in August 2020, citing greed, poor oversight, and cronyism. Following the ruling, both parties were directed to negotiate governance changes that could reduce the NRA's board size and facilitate new board candidacies. Despite the lawsuit, the NRA has perceived the case as politically motivated. The NRA, founded in 1871, has seen its influence wane, including within the Republican Party, as its membership and revenue have declined. NRA President Bob Barr acknowledged the jury's findings and reiterated the organization's commitment to good governance. LaPierre, who resigned just before the trial's first stage, has not commented on the ruling.Judge won't require monitor for NRA, bans ex-chief LaPierre for 10 years | ReutersThe American Bar Association (ABA) has issued its first formal ethics opinion on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by lawyers, emphasizing the need for adherence to ethical obligations. The ABA's ethics and professional responsibility committee highlighted that lawyers must ensure competence, protect client confidentiality, communicate appropriately, and handle fees ethically when utilizing AI technology. While AI can enhance efficiency in legal tasks such as research, document drafting, and analysis, it also poses risks like producing inaccurate results. Lawyers are advised to prevent unintended disclosure of client information and consider informing clients about their use of AI tools. The ABA's opinion serves as guidance for interpreting model rules, although these are not binding. The opinion cautioned against relying on AI-generated outputs without verification, noting instances where lawyers have cited nonexistent cases or inaccurate analyses, leading to potential misrepresentations in court.Recent cases illustrate the consequences of unverified AI use, with a federal judge in Virginia considering sanctions for a filing that included fictitious cases and fabricated quotations. While some courts require lawyers to disclose their use of AI, others, like the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, have declined to adopt such rules.State bar associations have also been developing their own AI guidelines, recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the technology. The ABA anticipates ongoing updates to their guidance to keep pace with developments in AI.Lawyers using AI must heed ethics rules, ABA says in first formal guidance | ReutersThe U.S. Senate is poised to pass significant online child safety reforms through two bills: the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) and the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). These reforms aim to enhance protections for minors on social media platforms. COPPA 2.0 will prohibit targeted advertising to minors, restrict data collection without consent, and allow parents and children to delete their information from social media. KOSA will establish a "duty of care" for social media companies to design safer platforms for minors.Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, with an 86-1 procedural vote, the bills face uncertainty in the Republican-controlled House, currently on recess until September. While some social media executives support KOSA, others, including leaders from Meta and TikTok, have expressed concerns. Critics, including tech industry groups and the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the bills could limit access to important content for minors.In response to these concerns, the bill's language was amended, reducing the enforcement role of state attorneys general. Supporters like Josh Golin of Fairplay for Kids argue that KOSA targets specific risks, such as promoting harmful content, without granting legal grounds for government censorship. The legislation's future now hinges on approval in the House of Representatives.US Senate set to pass major online child safety reforms | Reuters This is a public episode.

This change was requested by Jesse Gunnin for JRG1, LLC. The site, previously planned for commercial use, is unsuitable due to its size, shape, and proximity to a residential street. The council also approved adjustments to reduce buffer requirements, opting for an eight-foot screening fence instead. The decision follows a public hearing where no residents voiced opposition to the proposal. STORY 2: Canton Author Publishes New Novel C.S.

As Joshua delves into the mysterious "Four-Thirty Girl" and Ms. Debbie's enigmatic life, he confronts unexpected truths. The novel will soon debut as McKinney's first audiobook, narrated by the author himself. McKinney will also host book signings at various dates and locations, including Jax Coffee Company on July 20, Barrel House Coffee Co. on August 10, and Lazy Labrador Coffee House on August 17.

Back in a moment Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Red Sox Select Woodstock Alum Blake Aita in MLB Draft Blake Aita, a former pitcher from Woodstock High School, was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the sixth round (No. 177 overall) of the MLB draft. Aita, standing at 6-foot-4, played college baseball at Kennesaw State, where he maintained a 3.90 ERA with 84 strikeouts over 85 1/3 innings. His selection continues a streak of at least one Kennesaw State player being drafted in each of the last 16 full drafts. Aita follows fellow Woodstock alum Brennan Milone, drafted in 2022, and joins Caleb Bartolero, a 2023 undrafted free agent. Known for his competitive spirit and pitching versatility, Aita was recognized as the 2021 Cherokee County Pitcher of the Year and achieved notable feats like pitching a no-hitter in a crucial game for Woodstock. STORY 5: Nonprofit Looks to Provide Temporary Housing For Cherokee's Homeless Vets Jim Lindenmayer, director of the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans program, aims to address the crisis facing veterans in Georgia, including Cherokee County, where he believes government housing programs have failed. His program is renovating a building at 111 Faye Drive near Canton into a veterans' campus, providing temporary housing, food, training, counseling, and administrative services. This initiative follows Lindenmayer's frustration with federal programs like HUD VASH and SSVF, which he says offer inadequate support in Cherokee County. The program, funded through corporate donations and grants, has aided over 2,000 veterans, including those like Syphonique Robinson and Brian Clauson, who have found stability and support through Lindenmayer's efforts.

Charlie W highlights the importance of the leadership team that he has surrounded himself with and how he has tried to be people focused and conscious in their goals and aspirations. He wants Riverstone to be a Company that invests in the personal and professional growth of its members and maintains a deep focus on long-term relationships. He recognizes several key team members at Riverstone for their significant contributions and career advancements.

In the fifth part of this six-part series on Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf welcomes back guest and good friend Charlie Workmon, President and CEO of Riverstone Logistics. In this episode, Charlie W discusses making the move to take over Riverstone Logistics full time with his full focus and effort. He discusses the transition as well as asking Charlie M to serve as his formal mentor in 2021. They discuss the mutually beneficial mentorship meetings that they held every two weeks, which included a formal agenda and walking through the influential Keith J. Cunningham book together, "The Road Less Stupid: Advice from the Chairman of the Board." Charlie W talked about reflecting on the phrase: Know the game you're playing. As Charlie W began to embrace the practice of "Thinking Time" that he took from Cunningham's book, he began to see clearly that Riverstone would be a people-centric and a client-centric platform for loving people well. And not to be the biggest or the best but just to be on the journey and improve a little bit each day. This belief would eventually be infused into the Company's purpose to love, serve, and improve. In 2021, Charlie W also came to the realization that the Company needed to be well capitalized in order to be able to run further faster. This realization would eventually lead him to facilitating a transaction and to bring in a sponsor (i.e., a group of investors) who believed in the vision and to come help them take the Company to a completely different level in a way that's meant to love people. Charlie W cited the connection that he made with Harold Baron, the former CEO of Nolan Transportation, and the key leader behind the strategic money and group of private investors who would invest in RLX. Harold is now the Chairman of the Board of Directors for RLX. Charlie W reflected on the day that transaction closed in mid October 2021 and the gravity of that transaction. He knew that they had put the Company in a really good position for the future, and that this was setting the stage to not just survive but to flourish with open hands. The stage had been set to have rapid growth with strong financial backing. Riverstone Logistics has seen impressive growth with revenues increasing from $13M in 2020, tripling to $42M in 2021, then doubling to $85M in 2022, more than doubling again in 2023 to $191M, and projected to reach $300M in 2024. RLX has been recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in Charlotte by the Charlotte Business Journal for the past three years, and they completed their first acquisition late last year. Charlie W says that RLX today is a sunrise company who's best days are ahead of us. Their operations reach across 31 states and three countries with 650 Extra Milers ("Extra Milers" being the term given to RLX's full-time employees). RLX is a multi-modal logistics company with a successful Final Mile division as well as a growing brokerage division. Their big customers are Lowe's, The Home Depot, IKEA, HD Supply, Crate & Barrel, Ashley Store licensees, and GE Appliances. Charlie W explains that they are playing the part of a company that is set to do business differently. He says that they have a "Field of Dreams" mindset where they bring key people in ahead of the need while waiting to see if their client would also join the company. A mindset of "If you build it, they will come." And, Charlie W says that they strive to over serve their clients, that they're structured to serve and love them well, that they have a transparent cost model, and that they work with their clients to share costs and help rein them in. And he says that they focus on being open hands, being transparent and reliable, and enroll them on the front end as to what is a fair margin for their services. Charlie W unpacks the inspiration behind the company's Purpose statement "to use our God-given talents and opportunities to love our neighbors, serve our communities and improve our industry," which he and the management team crafted in late 2021. And then Charlie W also walks through the seven Core Beliefs of Riverstone Logistics: - Go the Extra Mile - Run through the Storm - Canoe the Mountains - Win the Right Way - Pencils Have Erasers - Mutual Prosperity - Profit Fuels Purpose Book mentioned: The Road Less Stupid: Advice from the Chairman of the Board - Keith Cunningham - https://www.amazon.com/Road-Less-Stupid-Keith-Cunningham/dp/0984659269 RLX Purpose & Core Beliefs: https://rlx.us/purpose/ Listen to part one of this conversation, Family Business to Logistics Leader: How Charlie Workmon Got Started: https://youtu.be/2dtnhUNHwLs Listen to part two of this conversation, Parenthood, Prayer, and Perspective Fuel Purpose for Charlie Workmon: https://youtu.be/aqYuV1qQokk Listen to part three of this conversation, Broad River's 2015 Bold Reset: Turning Challenges into Opportunities with Charlie Workmon: https://youtu.be/1AW0WwZaC4A Listen to part four of this conversation, Purpose-Driven Leadership in Retail Operations with Charlie Workmon: https://youtu.be/1AW0WwZaC4A This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nS3gzJAjF0s Visit https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.
