A friend sent me a photo of a sweet potato — but not just any sweet potato. When it was cut open, the inside was completely rotten… except for one thing: the moldy core formed a perfect smiling face.In this shiur/class/episode, we explore what this means — scientifically, psychologically, and spiritually. From the phenomenon of facial pareidolia (seeing faces in random objects) to the Torah's deep insight into Panim (face) and Pnim (inner self), we uncover a powerful lesson about joy, perception, and the soul.Drawing from Avraham Avinu's sever panim yafos, we discuss the true power of a smile — how it can spread like fire, light up another person's world, and even ignite happiness within ourselves. Because our face isn't just ours — it's reshus harabim, a public space that can change someone's day… or their life.

He was mighty on the outside — but falling apart on the inside. Naaman had honor, medals, and power… yet beneath the armor, he was rotting away. In this unforgettable message from 2 Kings 5:1–15, we dive into the moment when a man's hidden weakness met God's healing power. This isn't just Naaman's story — it's ours. How often do we show up strong in public while quietly breaking in private? What happens when the mask no longer holds, and God calls us to the muddy river instead of the magic fix? Get ready for a word about humility, healing, and the freedom of taking off your armor — because sometimes, your breakthrough is waiting in the dirt you don't want to touch.
In a world full of fake smiles, quick tempers, and shallow love, we are all producing something. Every word, every choice, every action plants a seed in someone else's life—either life-giving or toxic. And everywhere we look, we see the results of a world disconnected from God: anger boiling over, families fracturing, violence becoming routine, and hearts growing numb. But what if that isn't the only option? What if God's Spirit could grow something different in us—something that doesn't match the chaos around us? Love when hate is easier. Joy when life is heavy. Peace in the middle of the storm. Patience when everyone else snaps. A kind of strength and goodness that isn't manufactured by willpower, but produced by the Spirit of God working within us. That's the tension. Left unchecked, rot will take over. But if something greater takes root, it could change everything—not just in you, but in your family, your relationships, even your city. The question for you is… which fruit is growing?

A look ahead at the astrological forecast for November 2025, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We spend the first hour talking about the astrology behind news stories that happened since our last forecast, such as the Louvre jewelry heist that took place on the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Scorpio, and then in the second hour we do a deep dive into November's astrology. The astrology of November features an explosive Mars-Uranus opposition at the top of the month, followed by Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius conjunction Mars, and then finally late in the month Saturn stations direct for the final time in Pisces. We also discuss Uranus returning back to Taurus for the final time, and Jupiter stationing retrograde in Cancer trine Saturn. This is episode 510 of The Astrology Podcast.

By the end of 1977, the Sex Pistols sat at the top of the UK charts… while simultaneously hitting rock bottom. Sid Vicious was imploding, his partner Nancy Spungen was fuelling the chaos and Johnny Rotten was growing disillusioned with Malcolm McLaren's toxic games.Still, the band pushed ahead with a final run of gigs, including an unexpectedly wholesome Christmas Day show for children of striking firefighters. No one knew it then, but it would be their final UK performance for two decades.Then came their first American tour. The Pistols were dropped into the heart of the conservative South. Sid carved into his own chest on stage and Rotten was nearly broken by paranoia. The tour descended into violence, vomit, and blood.And to the end, in San Francisco, with the band on its knees, Johnny Rotten stared down the crowd and asked: “Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?” With a literal mic drop, he walked off stage, signalling the end of the Sex Pistols.Featuring archive interviews from: Nancy Spungen, Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Malcolm McLaren, Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols' roadie Stephen 'Roadent' Conolly.Presented by Gina Birch and Steve LamacqA BBC Audio Production

Hey—welcome to Liquid Late Nights. Tonight's a laid-back, late-night ramble about everything from sketchy rumors about who's running the country to why your apples and bananas seem to be rotting overnight. We talk internet woes (5G vs. fiber), stale chips, and the ridiculousness of getting arrested for rushing a football field in Florida. Pull up a seat, grab a snack (if it hasn't gone bad yet), and hang out while we joke, gripe, and keep it real — like friends catching up after dark.

There will always be difficult employees in any organization. Be it a 2 person group, a mom and pop operation, or a fortune 500 company. Rotten tomatoes are inevitable, and your job as a leader is to make sure those couple rotten ones don't spoil the bunch. The problem is, how can you handle them when you don't even know which ones they are? Difficult employees come in so many different types and trying to solve every type with the same solution is a losing battle. It also gets a lot harder to recognize trouble employees when, most of the time, the reason they're hurting your company, is the same reason you hired them. Difficult employees aren't always something that needs to be changed completely, most of the time they just have misguided traits you need to put on the right track. Learn just how to do that and so much more in this weeks episode!

The post ROTTEN AT THE CORE appeared first on Gateway Family Church.
The hosts dive into the sustained wave of protein-infused consumer products – from popcorn to mashed potatoes – and debate whether the market is approaching “protein fatigue” or merely scratching the surface of a macro trend driven more by marketing than science. They also recap Taste Radio's high-energy meetup in San Diego, spotlighting several new and innovative brands showcased at the event. Show notes: 0:25: Free Tee. Nice To Meet Thee. MDR In DEC. Poppi To Popcorn. Protein ≠ Pumpkin Spice. Head High. – Ray encourages listeners to review Taste Radio on Apple Podcasts and offers a gift for those who do.

They also discuss upcoming events in San Francisco, London, and the BevNET Live, NOSH Live, and Brewbound Live conferences in Marina del Rey, emphasizing early registration benefits. They turn their attention toward the deluge of new protein-infused products coming to market, from Kloud popcorn to Idahoan mashed potatoes, prompting a debate among the hosts about the limits of protein's market viability and consumer perception. The hosts also praise Rotten, a brand of better-for-you gummy worms, and highlight kanna-infused ANA brand Innerbloom as well as Happy Pop and Cien Chiles.

Michael Fisher was making gummy worms in his kitchen during COVID when he realized candy hadn't been reimagined for today's consumer. With no food science background, he started experimenting—less sugar, no artificial dyes, and all the nostalgia of sour gummies. That tinkering turned into Rotten, a candy brand with its own world, characters, and cult following. From a Kickstarter launch in 2023 to landing in retailers like Foxtrot and Hy-Vee within months, Rotten has grown fast by pairing bold branding with better-for-you candy that doesn't compromise on taste. In this episode, Michael shares how he built Rotten from scratch, why brand world-building matters in CPG, and what the future of candy looks like when it's fun and functional.

Peace in the middle of the storm. Patience when everyone else snaps. A kind of strength and goodness that isn't manufactured by willpower, but produced by the Spirit of God working within us. That's the tension. Left unchecked, rot will take over. But if something greater takes root, it could change everything—not just in you, but in your family, your relationships, even your city. The question for you is… which fruit is growing?

How do we break the woke monopoly in Hollywood? To find the answer, we tell the story of Rotten Tomatoes – the film review site that exposes the silent gatekeepers of Movie City. Along the way we hear from film critic Christian Toto, purveyor of conservative-friendly film enthusiast site HollywoodInToto.com. We also hear the late Andrew Breitbart describe a blueprint for winning the culture war. It may seem like the woke mob has a stranglehold on Tinseltown.
