The United Nations is in the midst of selecting its next Secretary-General — and the race to succeed António Guterres just got more interesting. Last week, the Security Council held a straw poll to test the viability of the eight women and men vying to become Secretary-General in January. The results: we have a new frontrunner, though her apparent lead is narrow. Meanwhile, some candidates once considered frontrunners now look like long shots. On this episode of our sister podcast, To Save Us From Hell,  Mark Leon Goldberg and Anjali Dayal dissect the results of the straw poll and discuss the latest developments in the Secretary-General race You can unlock full access to To Save Us From Hell with a paid subscription --> https://www.globaldispatches.org/

In this repost from an episode first released in June, Daniel Schreiber, CEO of Lemonade and founder of the MOSAIC AI Policy Institute, joins Bradley to make a surprisingly hopeful case. The enormous wealth generated by AI can be captured and redistributed in a way that leaves almost everyone better off, he argues, without raising taxes, punishing innovation, or trusting politicians with a slush fund. "Poverty should end in the era of abundance," says Schreiber.

Should Christians retreat from the world, fight to reclaim the culture through political power, or continually adapt the church's message to fit whatever society currently values?Minnesota South District President Lucas Woodford joins Tim Ahlman and Jack Kalleberg for a wide-ranging conversation about faithful ministry in a rapidly changing America. They explore the dangers of allowing the church to be co-opted by political parties, the difference between healthy contextualization and reshaping Christianity around a target market, and why modern secularism may be less atheistic than it is a return to ancient paganism.Lucas also explains why Christians are not called to evangelize a collapsing culture, but to bring the hope of Christ to the people living within it. The conversation examines Lutheran worship, cowboy and culturally specific churches, the work of the Holy Spirit, pastoral formation in the LCMS, institutional adaptation, and what it means to be “in the world and of the Word.”The culture may be changing—but the Word of God still works.

In the debut children’s novel by Christine Hartman Derr (Cherokee), “Raven, Rising“, baking was a favorite pastime for a young Cherokee girl until she is struck with sadness and anxiety at the thought of baking and the smell of ingredients like cinnamon, bread, and chocolate. She learns to cope with loss and works to make her way back to the kitchen.

Send us Fan MailAfter acknowledging a broken recording and their general exhaustion, Bobby and Jim talk through a frightening health scare involving Penny, the uncertainty it creates around an upcoming Seattle and Portland trip, and the strangely clarifying experience of confronting the possible loss of a pet. From there, the episode becomes a fast-moving tour through their shared obsessions and grievances: a handwritten invitation to a Bible drama, tax-free churches and imaginary missionary safaris, gorillas and emotionally devastating octopuses, and a phrase that supposedly makes anyone sound as if they are speaking in tongues.The centerpiece is their postmortem of a nude camping trip. Bobby explains why camping's endless transitions and tiny logistical steps are incompatible with his brain, while both hosts relive the pool, rain, a blood-pressure scare, an overenthusiastic horse-whip performer, unwanted homemade alcohol, and petty campground authority. The conversation then shifts into sex, Charli XCX, nightlife fatigue, fake-feeling DJs, video-game escapism, creative stagnation, money, housing, and the search for joy in ordinary rituals.The final stretch covers political spectacle, stomach trouble, Palm Springs sugar-daddy fantasies, the illusion of happiness, a suspected neighborhood stalker, strangers forcing shots on people, furry nightlife, and the looming Seattle trip.

The real problem with AI isn't AI. It's the level of consciousness we bring to what we build, and what we collectively refuse to examine.We are at the edge of the second great technological revolution. The internet gave us global reach. Artificial intelligence is now accelerating everything we are, including everything we have refused to look at.This essay moves through what that acceleration reveals: the architecture of extraction, from slavery to cheap labor to data; the illusion of freedom we've accepted in place of the real thing; why the consciousness gap between human wisdom and technological intelligence is the most urgent conversation we are not having; and what a genuinely different future could look like, rooted in Solarpunk principles, decentralized power, and the kind of consciousness that can actually hold it.This is not an argument against technology. It is an argument against human unconsciousness. Every tool we have ever built reflects the level of awareness its creators brought to it. The question has never been what we can build. It has always been who we are when we build it — and who owns it.Topics covered in this video:The illusion of progress and why AI is accelerating our collective shadowWhy "cheap labor" is a moral anesthetic, and what we're actually describing when we use that phraseThe architecture of extraction: from land, to labor, to dataAI, power concentration, and the next phase of invisible slaverySolarpunk, decentralization, and the consciousness-led alternativeAncestral healing, shadow work, and the personal responsibility embedded in all of itIf this conversation is pointing at something real for you, The Axis Point is my private mentorship for leaders, creatives, and executives ready to build the internal structure that the external world demands of them.Applications: https://silvanaisaza.com/mentorship/#AIandHumanity #ArtificialIntelligenceEthics #Solarpunk #ConsciousnessGap #EthicalAI

The AI revolution is here, and with it a fear that soon it will replace many of us in the workplace. The Australian government is grappling with how to deal with the multi-layered disruption but so far reform has been slow as it weighs up regulation against the claims of investment opportunities an AI boom presents. Could that change on Wednesday when the prime minister delivers a landmark speech addressing the government's approach to the technology? The chief political correspondent, Dan Jervis-Bardy, speaks to Reged Ahmad about the tightrope the PM needs to walk between embracing new technology and protecting workers

Welcome to Be Bold for Jesus MinistriesOur mission is to equip believers to live boldly for Christ with discernment, obedience, andunwavering trust in God—especially in a world filled with false promises of security. Led by LeeArnold and Jaclyn Arnold, Be Bold for Jesus Ministries teaches God's Word with clarity andconviction, calling believers to place their confidence in Christ rather than the temporary securitiesof this world.Today's MessageThe Danger of False SecurityLee Arnold LiveScripture: Jeremiah 49:1–39Jeremiah 49 contains a series of warnings to the nations surrounding Israel—Ammon, Edom,Damascus, Kedar, Hazor, and Elam. Each nation trusted in something that made them feel secure.Some trusted their wealth. Others trusted military power, wisdom, geography, or reputation. But allof them shared the same fatal flaw: they placed their confidence in something other than God.Like the residents who ignored the warnings before Mount St. Helens erupted, these nationsmistook past stability for future security. They assumed that because judgment had not come yet, itnever would. But God's warnings are acts of mercy, and His promises always come to pass.Key Takeaways• God's warnings are acts of mercy, not cruelty• False security can be more dangerous than obvious danger• Wealth, wisdom, power, and reputation cannot save us• Pride causes nations and individuals to ignore God's warnings• God often removes the very thing we trust more than Him• Every earthly fortress will eventually crumble• The strongest refuge is a relationship with Jesus Christ• God's judgment is always balanced by His mercy and grace• Repentance leads to restoration• The only security that lasts forever is found in Christ aloneToday's ReminderThe Ammonites trusted their riches. The Edomites trusted Petra. Damascus trusted its history andreputation. The Bedouins trusted their independence. The Elamites trusted their military strength.Every nation believed it possessed something that made it untouchable. Every nation was wrong.Jeremiah 49 asks a deeply personal question: What is your Petra? What are you relying on morethan God? The danger is not having these things—the danger is trusting them. God loves usenough to expose our false securities before they become our destruction. The only refuge that hasnever failed and never will fail is Jesus Christ.Stay Connected• Sunday Sermons – Live on Zoom & Facebook• Wednesday Bible Study – He's The Solution Interactive Discussion• Daily Dose of Boldness – Daily encouragement from God's WordBe Bold for Jesus Conference 2026October 2–3, 2026Tickets & information at BB4J.comSupport the MissionGive at bebold4jesus.org#BeBoldForJesus #Jeremiah49 #FalseSecurity #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #JesusIsTheRock#BibleTeaching #SundaySermon

Today, we're confronting a lie the world wants you to swallow: that comfort is the goal, and hardship means God has left the building. Not here. Not on this podcast. Here, we expose the deception. Here, we tell the truth: God uses suffering to forge warriors for the Kingdom.The world worships comfort. Our flesh runs from discomfort. Our prayers beg for escape. But Scripture is clear—“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” –John 16:33Pain has a purpose. Trials are not the enemy. Suffering is not the end. Christ is refining you. Christ is present in the fire.So when your valley turns dark—will you run, or will you let God use it? What's He trying to produce in you?Episode Highlights08:05 - If comfort becomes the goal of your life, suffering will always feel like failure. But if becoming more like Jesus becomes the goal of your life, well, suffering then begins to look very different. It becomes less like punishment, and more like preparation.24:06 - What if the difficulty you're facing isn't proof that God has abandoned you? What if it's proof that he's actively shaping you? The world sees suffering as an interruption. The Christian should see it as an invitation—an invitation to trust, an invitation to surrender, an invitation to discover that Christ is sufficient.35:56 - "That's why one of the boldest prayers you will ever pray is this: Lord, if this trial will make me more like your son, please don't waste a single moment of it. That's not a prayer of resignation. Instead, that's a prayer of surrender. It's declaring that God's purposes are greater than your preferences.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Brett Hurt got the Lamborghini. He got the exits, the valuations, everything a tech titan is supposed to want. And then he felt nothing. That emptiness became the most important moment of his career — and the catalyst for his new book, Love Conquers Fear: Humanity, AI, and the Age of Abundance for All. Brett is the co-founder of data.world (acquired by ServiceNow), Bazaarvoice (unicorn IPO), and Coremetrics (acquired by IBM). He has invested in 151 startups, backed 52 VC funds including SpaceX, and was named Austin's Best CEO. In this conversation with host Park Howell, Brett makes the case that the most urgent upgrade of the AI age is not technological — it's personal. We explore why love, not fear, is the only leadership strategy built for what's coming, why nuclear weapons are a greater existential threat than artificial intelligence, and how psychedelic therapy and Vedantic philosophy transformed the way Brett thinks about building companies, raising consciousness, and saving humanity from itself. If you've ever wondered what you're actually building your work for, this episode is your answer. Find Brett at loveconquersfear.org and on the Love Conquers Fear podcast, published every Tuesday.
