Podcasts about saying it

Group Guide Use this guide to help your group discussion as you meet this week. TranscriptGood morning, my name is Chet. I'm one of the pastors here. Grab a Bible and go to First Samuel, chapter 25. We are working our way through the book of First Samuel. We left off last week where David had the opportunity to murder Saul. Saul's been chasing David, trying to kill him. David finally has Saul right in his grasp in a cave and he does not kill him. He comes, cuts off a piece of his cloak, follows him out of the cave and says, see this? Do you notice that it used to belong to your cloak? Check out your cloak. I could have killed you and I didn't because I don't want to.Saul and David have this moment where Saul says, I'm wrong, I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing. There's a little bit of a peace. Then it says they head separate ways. We're picking up in chapter 25, and we're going to see this interaction with David and some other people, and we're going to see David actively pursuing sin and how God meets him in that, what happens, how David responds, and how these other people respond. Hopefully, we will learn along with David to appreciate correction.The verse says this:> Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him and buried him in his house at Ramah.Samuel has passed and his work as the last judge is over. He's the last judge of Israel. He has transitioned under the leadership of God and under the desire of the people to a monarch ruling the land. It hasn't gone well. We've seen how all that's worked out. The last we saw him, David had run to him to try to hide while Saul was chasing him. He is now passed, and it says all Israel gathered to mourn. I think it is likely that that included David and Saul, but if it excluded one of them, it was probably David. The way the text is written seems as if David was there.It also says that Samuel was buried in his house at Ramah, which makes me think people didn't keep living in that house. I don't know; maybe it became a site for the people of Israel, but the text doesn't give us much information about that.Continuing in verse 1, it says:> Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran. And there was a man whose business was in Carmel.The man was very rich. He had 3,000 sheep and a thousand goats. Take a moment and try to picture that. That's a lot of sheep and goats, a lot of people that have to tend to them. The man was shearing his sheep in Carmel. Now, you may have a picture of what shearing sheep is like. You understand that it's removing the excess wool from a sheep. But culturally, when we just say he's shearing his sheep, I don't think we completely capture the festivity.This was festive. In order to shear 3,000 sheep, you need a lot of shearers. They gather, it's like a harvest. You've kept these sheep alive all winter; it's now about to get hot, and it's spring. They gather. It's celebratory. A bunch of people together. The wool means wealth—he can use it, he can sell it. People gather, eat, celebrate, shear sheep, and then eventually they have to spread back out because you can't have that many sheep in one place at one time.So they've been all over the place, gather, shear the sheep, have a festival for however long this takes, a bunch of people together, then spread back out. That's what's happening. Culturally, when they heard "sheep shearing," it's like us hearing it's Christmas time. It's festive in their mind with all it entails.He's shearing his sheep. Verse 3:> Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail.There's another cultural thing missed on us here: the word Nabal means fool or boorish; his name is "fool." If you spoke Hebrew, you'd catch that. Names mean things in their culture. Either it was a rough time in the life of his parents when he was born and they took it out on him, or he was born and his mom said, "You look a lot like your father; we're gonna name you Fool." Some family dynamics we don't want to get into. Or he has earned this name over time and just rolled with it.It'd be like if you introduced him as "my buddy Blockhead," and he'd say, "Sup?" You'd have guesses on what this dude's like. That's what's happening here: his name's Fool.Then it tells us where we are. The woman, Abigail, was discerning and beautiful, but the man was harsh and badly behaved. So he's earned it; he's lived up to it. At least he was a Calebite, meaning he comes from a prominent family inside the tribe of Judah. David is also in the tribe of Judah, so they would have considered each other kin, more especially kin than just being of the people of Israel.David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. So David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men:> Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. And thus you shall greet him:>> Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.>> I hear that you have shearers.>> Now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the time they were in Carmel.>> Ask your young men, and they will tell you.>> Therefore, let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day.>> Please give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.David sends a ten-man delegation to say, "We hear you have shearers, which means it's a feast day. We've been with your shearers and shepherds. We've actually been part of the reason all your sheep are alive. If there's anything you could give us, that'd be great."This can sound a little extortionary to us: "I helped you out, you owe me." Maybe a little of that is there, but they're of the same tribe. This is a normal thing to be hospitable and to expect hospitality. So what David has helped him, he's saying, "I'm part of the reason why this has gone so well for you this year, and we'd like to participate in this feast."The next layer is that we're of the same tribe. They belong to each other. Another layer is you should just say yes to this anyway, no matter who shows up and asks because that's what the people of Israel are supposed to be like: hospitable and welcoming.Well above our cultural pressures to be hospitable and welcoming, this is a normal cultural thing that you would say yes to.It's a little bit like if someone says, "Hey, is there anything you could do? It would be really helpful. You know it is Christmas." Saying "It's Christmas" adds this "You should" kind of thing to it. But they should say yes all the time. At sheep shearing time, it's more festive and more hospitable; there are all kinds of layers to why Nabal should say yes to this. It's expected, it's good, it's what he ought to do.Remember his name, right? Let's see how he acts.Verse 9:> When David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David. And then they waited.And Nabal answered:> David's servants, who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters. Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to the men who come from nowhere, whom I do not know?That would be rude to us. It is wildly, excessively rude to them. You ever watch a Western? You know how there's a moment where one calls the other a liar, and everything gets tense? They stand up because you've called me a liar. Obviously, I have to shoot you now. That's the kind of thing happening.Or in the play Hamilton, they've seen multiple duels in writing letters back and forth. You can tell these are fighting words, working toward a duel. Culturally, we don't have that anymore. We don't do duels anymore; that's probably good for us.Every once in a while you meet someone and think, "I wish someone had hit them upside the head," but in general, culturally it's good that we turn the other cheek, that we're calmer, that we don't overreact or defend our honor in that way.But what Nabal has done is aggressively, intentionally disregarded, dishonored, picked a fight with David in pride. He said, "Who is David? Who's the son of Jesse? You come from no one; you are worth nothing." He says there are many people who have broken away from their masters and are roaming around the woods these days. You want me to feed all of them? Like, no.This is very aggressive.They go back to David. Let's see how David responds.Verse 12:> So David's young men turned away and came back and told him all this.David said to his men:> Every man, strap on his sword.Every man strapped on his sword; David also strapped on his sword. About 400 men went up after David, while 200 remained with the baggage.He leaves 200 and takes 400, saying, "Put your swords on. Let's go talk to Nabal ourselves."Verse 14:> But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master, and he railed at them. Yet the men were very good to us. We suffered no harm, and we did not miss anything when we were in the fields. As long as we went with them, they were a wall to us both by night and by day. All the while we were with them, keeping the sheep."Now, therefore, know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house. He is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him.There's a handful of things going on here. Somebody watches this interaction and says, somebody go tell Abigail, somebody get Ma—she'll handle this. That's the assumption.You can actually see the kind of respect and the position that she held in this household by the way they're responding. I don't know if your life has been like mine, but I've been wildly blessed by ladies like this who can handle things, who will sort stuff out, who, when something's going poorly, you say, "Yeah, go get them. Explain this to them. They'll step in, make this better, know what to do." That's the situation she's in: somebody goes to say, "Hey, real quick, Nabal was Nabling, and I need to talk to you about what just happened."They explain it to her.I also want to point out that they say, "You know what he's like. You can't talk to him. He is such a worthless man. No one can speak to him." I just want to tell you that you don't want that to ever be true for you. You don't want people to say, "Well, you know what it's like to talk to them? They don't listen. They're hard to talk to."You want to actively fight that in yourself. When someone says, "Hey, I need to talk to you about something," you want to go, "Okay, this is my chance. Lord, help me. Don't get defensive. Help me listen," because that's a bad spot to be in.They say he was very rude to them, and they've been great. David was great to us. It was great to be with David. We didn't worry about anything. As long as we were with them, there was nothing to worry about. They helped us; they protected us; they defended us.Not only should he probably not respond that way to anybody, but he certainly should be good to these guys because they've been very good to us. That's the situation they're saying to him.Verse 18:> Then Abigail made haste and took 200 loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared, and five seahs of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins and 200 cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.That's a lot of food just ready to go.She starts piling this on donkeys: 200 loaves, five sheep already prepared, 200 cakes of figs. He's very rich.We'll find out later it's not like she went and cleaned out buffets. They don't even notice this stuff is gone. Not only should he have said yes, he actually had the ability to say yes and not even notice it. So he's got all this ready to go at the moment. It's unnoticed.She puts it on donkeys.Verse 19:> She said to her young men, "Go on before me; behold, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.As she rode on the donkey and came down under the cover of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down toward her. She met them.David had said:> Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him. And he has returned me evil for good.>> God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.David's plan as he's traveling is, when we get there, we're going to kill every man. David says to himself that it was a huge waste of time that he defended his sheep.If you lived in a modest home backed up to somebody's massive acreage and could see all the wealth they had, and at some point their fence broke and their little yappy dog got out, you helped catch the dog and fixed the fence. Then later, you go around and say, "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any eggs?" and they say, "I can't be giving handouts to people who can't afford eggs." What does that look like? Charity? "Get off my lawn before I call the police."You might go back to your house and think, "I'm going to break their fence and steal their dog." Originally, you weren't doing it because you knew one day you were going to need something, but there might be something in you that goes, "That was a waste of time. This guy's such a jerk. He doesn't deserve any good thing I've ever done for him."You might just be losing it in your backyard.That's a little bit of what's happening with David here. He's responded violently and is saying to himself, everything that I did that was good was a waste of time. He's decided he's going to kill everybody.He gives an interesting curse—we've seen several curses in First Samuel. This is one of the better ones because of how he words it. Most curses we've seen have followed a pattern: "May the Lord do so and more also to me if I don't blank to them." But David says:> May the Lord do so and more also to my enemies if I don't kill all of them.A double outward-facing curse. It seems like a better way to word it. If I don't kill them, may the Lord kill them. He just puts it out that way; he doesn't bind himself in a curse.His plan is to go kill everybody.I want you to hear this clearly: David is wrong. Don't read your Bible and think this is one of the good guys. Not everything he does is good. The Lord is good, and what he does is good. You can see what he's doing and say that's good (Jesus is good). The Bible isn't about good people and bad people; it's about bad people and Jesus.You see Jesus at work; you can say, "This must be good," but you can't do that with anybody else.What David is about to do is wrong; he's going to defend his pride through massacre. Nobody talks to David like that; that's where he's at.But who just met him? Abigail.David's coming with 400 men, all with swords strapped on. They don't look pleasant; they're on their way to harm people. She comes to talk to them.What she's about to do is insanely courageous.You know how you have things you're afraid of? Meeting new people, large crowds, public speaking, facing down an army, possibly being murdered, conflict. She's about to do all those, and handle them extremely well.When you look at Proverbs 31, which talks about what a woman should look like—a wife should look like—Abigail is Proverbs 31 on display: using intelligence, ability, wisdom for the good of those around her.She could have avoided this situation. She knew something bad was coming. She could have left; it would have affected her household. But she was involved.She jumps right in the middle for Nabal's sake and for David's sake. She sees two foolish men. She actually knew that something bad was going to happen.As soon as she heard the situation, she said David's on the move. She was right. She said, "I don't think you can talk stuff to David like that without there being a lot of bad things that happen next."She's right.She's going to intercept David and Nabal, jump in the middle of them and this brokenness where pride, arrogance, anger are about to slam into each other.Suddenly there's Abigail on a donkey, about to give the largest speech of any woman in the Old Testament. She's going to share wisdom, clarity, humility, faith.This is what she says.Verse 23:> When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell before David on her face and bowed to the ground.She begins with a very humble posture. She shows up, bows to the ground. It does not tell us if she gets up. It's possible she continues speaking from that posture or maybe stands.Verse 24:> She fell at his feet and said,>> On me alone, my lord, be the guilt.>> Please let your servant speak in your ears and hear the words of your servant.>> Let not, my lord, regard this worthless fellow Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him.Quick pause: I don't believe this gives wives license to speak however they want about their husbands, even their foolish husbands. Which I know is a follow-up question.Put your hand down.But if you are negotiating good for his entire household and trying to save his life, I think the rules get looser than when you're at book club with your friends. She doesn't speak in a very honoring way of her husband. He has actively done dumb things. She is trying for the sake of their household to bring good.She's trying to bring blessing to him, even though he's acted like that.But this isn't how I think you're allowed to talk about them all the time.Even if she did, you still shouldn't.She starts off by saying we don't want Nabal representing her house. This is on me.Don't let him lead you into this. That's what she's saying.She continues:> But I, your servant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent. Please forgive me. This is on me. If I had seen him, we wouldn't have this problem.Verse 26:> Now then, my lord, as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, because the Lord has restrained you from blood guilt and from saving with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.She says it's so good the Lord restrained him from blood guilt. She assumes graciously and boldly that he's going to stop. The Lord has intercepted him to keep him from doing something foolish.She doesn't say "foolish," but it's baked in.The fool was about to create folly, and she's thankful the Lord helped stop it.Then:> May the Lord make all of your enemies like Nabal—not dead, but foolish. Let them act foolish, but don't let you act foolish.Verse 27:> And now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. Please forgive the trespass of your servant, for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.> If men rise up to pursue you and seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God, and the lives of your enemies shall he sling out as from the hollow of a sling.She's wise in words, uses sling metaphors for David. He gets it immediately.She brings blessing. She shows up in the middle of sin, takes guilt, and brings blessing.She brings physical blessing and then verbally blesses him. She says, “Take this gift,” and then she blesses David, his house, family, future.Verse 30:> When the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince over Israel...It seems known that David has been anointed and that he's going to be king; that has spread at least to the people in Judah.Verse 31:> My lord shall have no cause of grief or pangs of conscience for having shed blood without cause, or for my lord working salvation for himself.> When the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.She says when she shows up, "I'm glad the Lord let me intercept you to keep you from blood guilt." She ends with, when he makes you king, you won't feel bad about this. You won't have pangs of conscience that you tried to save yourself or shed blood without cause.It's wise, clear, corrective, humble.Verse 32:> David said to Abigail,>> "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.>> Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you who have kept me this day from blood guilt and from working salvation with my own hand.>> For as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left in Nabal so much as one male."David erupts in worship:Oh, thank the Lord! Blessed be the Lord! Blessed be your discretion! Blessed be you that you came because I was about to do something so foolish!Y'all, may we respond like David when we're corrected. May we love the people who correct us.Culturally, we celebrate, "I want my friends to match my energy." Like, if I'm amped up, I want you to get amped up with me.I saw a clip from a movie: a guy comes in, looks at his friend, says, "Hey, you can't ask me questions; I need you to come with me. We're going to hurt some people. We can never talk about this again." His friend looks at him and says, "Are you driving, or am I driving?"Culturally, we say, "Yay! Best friends! Secret murders!"That's what we want. We want friends who ride or die. We want you to hop in the car if I say, "Let's go."Reality is, no. You need some calm, patient, wet blanket friends. Some people who say, "Why aren't you mad?"You need people who have wisdom, discretion, who slow you down, love you enough to risk a relationship by correcting you.I'm not talking about argumentative, contrary people. I'm talking about people who love you enough to say, "Hey, we need to talk because what you're doing is unwise, unhelpful, foolish, sinful."We want to learn to be people who say, "Praise Jesus that you listened to the Spirit when I didn't! Thank you, Lord, that you sent them to be around me."You're doing things over your life that are unwise. You're doing things that aren't good. You're sinning.The last time you were corrected is maybe the last time someone showed you genuine love.If you go long seasons without correction, you need to begin to work on how you respond to correction and the type of people you surround yourself with.May we be people like Abigail who love people enough to say something. She jumped in the middle, could have left, but she was involved.Verse 35:> Then David received from her hand what she had brought him.>> He said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice and granted your petition."Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house like the feast of a king.Nabal's heart was merry within him; he was very drunk.She told him nothing at all until morning.Verse 37:> In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things.>> His heart died within him, and he became as a stone.>> About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.She went and explained: you said this, I did this, I met David with 400 men coming to kill everybody, the gift I gave him.He locks up; something happens to his heart, his body. He dies ten days later.Verse 39:> When David heard that Nabal was dead,>> He said, "Blessed be the Lord, who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal and kept back his servant from wrongdoing.>> The Lord has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head."This principle runs throughout Scripture: we aren't meant to get vengeance ourselves. We're to trust the Lord that He will respond, will care for us, and this is not to be taken into our hands.We are to say, "Lord, I will bear insult, trusting you'll bring about good."That's how David responds when he hears that: "Thank you, Lord, for letting his wickedness fall back on him and not on me.""For me not getting involved, me not doing wrongdoing, You kept me back from him."Verse 40:> Then David sent and spoke to Abigail to take her as his wife.When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her:> David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.She rose and bowed with her face to the ground, saying:> "Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."Abigail hurried, rose, mounted a donkey, and her five young women attended her.She followed the messengers of David and became his wife.First of all, she has little notes: she has the largest lady entourage of anybody in Scripture.She's wealthy and well attended to. She humbly accepts this. She even responds, "I'll just be a servant." I think she knows she's going to get married, but she humbly says, "I'll be a servant." She's gracious.The story begins with David sending men to say, "Hey, Nabal, can we have some food from your feast?"It ends with him going and getting Nabal's wife.It's a wild story.One thing is when David's corrected by Abigail, he loves her for it; he responds.I want to read the last of this chapter before considering a few things:Verse 42:> So she became his wife.David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and both of them became his wives.Saul had given Michal, his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, son of Laish, who was of Gallim.Personally, I wish that note was somewhere else, because it feels like you see this interesting little love story play out, and at the end they're getting married, but then there's another lady also, and you're like, "Wait, what?"Historically, men in power had multiple wives.We see David wrongfully, angrily respond to a thing. We see him begin to take multiple wives.He's not handling everything well.One of the things for kings is they wouldn't have too many wives. He's not even a king yet; he's just roaming the woods.He already has two and a half because we're not exactly sure what's going on with Michal. She's married to someone else but also married to him.We'll see how that plays out.That's the situation.Looking back, consider something beautiful in this text.Abigail rides in to intercept in the middle before things go wildly wrong.David loves her for it.He walks under the shadow of the mountain, ready to murder.He leaves praising the Lord.His heart is softened at her correction.Nabal is hardened at her correction. He turns to stone, and it kills him.We have softening and love, and death born out of the same action.This reality is how Jesus comes to us.He intercepts us in our sin.He comes to correct us, call us away from sin, stepping into situations He didn't have to but does because He loves us and wants to rescue and bring blessing.He steps in to take guilt on Himself, saying, "Let the guilt fall on me."All who hear this message will either, like David, soften and love Him or will harden and say, "Who does He think He is? Why do I have to worship Him? Why do I have to follow Him? What does He mean He died for my sin? What is sin? He made the rules. Why would I have to?"You will twist on it.There's a way to respond that brings life, blessing, joy, hope.There's a way that hardens you up.If you belong to Jesus, your heart ought to be very soft to Him and His correction.You ought to see with joy the love He shows when He corrects.You ought to be soft in correction to those around you who say, "I think you're wrong about this."You ought to say, "Thank you for loving me."Try to listen as best you can, understand what they're saying, sort it out, be patient.Praise the Lord for people who will correct you.None of us want to harden ourselves against Jesus or His people so we might work closer to death, locking ourselves into stone so we can't hear His voice or listen.Let's pray.God, may You in Your grace let us be soft and receptive.May we be receptive to Your Spirit when You call us to repentance.May we be receptive to the people in our church family and those around us who know us and love us and love You who correct us.May it be a delight to our soul as David was blessed and continued to bless Your name for turning him away from wrongdoing.Lord, may we love the people in our church and those close to us enough to correct them.I pray in Jesus' name and by Your Spirit's work, for those who have hardened themselves against Your calls to repentance, may You not let them do it.May You not let them harden their heart or turn to stone so they cannot hear Your voice or listen to Your people.May You intercept them by Your grace even now.May they hear and repent.We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.As a church, we are going to take communion together.I'd like to read from Luke chapter 22.This is Jesus on the night He was betrayed, at the last supper with His disciples.Luke 22:19 says:> And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying,>> "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."When we take communion together, we take a loaf and remember that Jesus' body was broken for us.Our hope is not that we would suffer and die for ourselves, atone for our sin, but that He has.We share in one loaf, and when we do this together, we remind ourselves and each other that our one hope is Jesus and Jesus alone.And then likewise the cup:> "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."This hope is made sure because it is covenanted with us through the blood of Christ, sealed through His work.If you have trusted Christ, we take communion as a remembrance of this moment and the covenant made with us.We take it in hope of the day coming when all things are restored and made new, forgiven fully and made free.If you have not placed your faith in Jesus, this is not for you.We say Christ is for you. His offer of salvation is for you. Repentance is for you.But we ask you not to take communion until you understand fully what you're celebrating.For those who've placed faith in Jesus, take a moment, listen to the Spirit.If there's somewhere you need to repent, if there's someone you need to talk to, do that, then come joyfully.Remind your soul your sin has been paid for, and your hope is held sure because of Christ's work.If you have a gluten allergy, we have gluten-free back there.

In this episode from Tuesday's Staff Prayer at Word of Life Lakeland campus, Pastor Joel Sims continues from the last Staff Prayer's message on turning your care into prayers, with this episode titled "Seeing It, Saying It, and Praying It", where he shares that when God shows you something about your need, He wants you to say it, and pray it so that He can change it.

I thought President Trump did a fantastic job at the DNC and I thought I heard humility in his voice. And if you've listened to me or watched me for a while, you know that's something I've been waiting for because I think it can elevate him to a level of greatness we've not seen. Now, maybe he could recognize some of the mistakes that occurred during his first term and therefore not do the same thing again. But at the RNC, they did make a diversity push. David Sacks was one of the speakers. He's done a brilliant job of helping some forms of republicanism in Silicon Valley and is helping to turn people towards the Republican Party, making it okay to come out as Republican. But, suddenly something disappeared from the RNC platform. I think it happened so you can have people like David Sacks as donors. We also saw Amber Rose speak at the RNC. I will also share about when I confronted the diversity cops at Microsoft all those years ago and how Microsoft has now canceled its DEI program. What does God's Word say? Galatians 3:28 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Episode 1,730 Links:Microsoft Laid Off A DEI Team, Saying It's ‘No Longer Business Critical Or Smart'David Sacks Torches the Biden Administration at the 2024 Republican National Convention (Full Speech): "The Biden / Harris administration has taken a world that was at peace under President Trump and they lit it on fire...Rather than bolstering confidence in American leadership as he promised, President Biden has become the symbol of an America in decline.

We need to talk about how Microsoft is ending DEI as we also examine the impact of the attempted assassination of President Trump. It is now being reported that the Secret Service knew 2 hours before the attempted assassination about the shooter. And, we will hear a humble Trump thank Almighty God for saving his life. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 3:5-85 Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding;6 in all your ways submit to him,    and he will make your paths straight.[a]7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;    fear the Lord and shun evil.8 This will bring health to your body    and nourishment to your bones.Proverbs 9:10-12 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11 For through wisdom[a] your days will be many,    and years will be added to your life.12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.Episode 1,727  Links:Microsoft Laid Off A DEI Team, Saying It's ‘No Longer Business Critical Or Smart'America Is Changing ‼️ MUST LISTEN.

What is this report? It has been described as a “collaborative review undertaken by the NSW Police Force and the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission”.  Just for some clarity, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commision's primary role is to detect, investigate and expose misconduct and maladministration within the NSW Police Force. But the NSW Police force was involved in this review of its own practices. Essentially, this data was released after better police record-keeping and audits of strip-search data were among the recommendations made by the LECC in its landmark two-year inquiry into strip-searches in NSW handed down in December 2020. So this report  itself includes the Commission's 2020 Inquiry and a follow-up report published this week which has data from strip search practices in 2021 and  2022. And we're mainly talking about strip searches at music festivals here. Can you step us through some of the report findings? Less than half of the officers who carried out strip searches at the music festivals in the sample had completed the specialist music festival training. 28% of officers did not complete the training at all. NSW police complied with rules to protect dignity in just 27% of strip-searches The report also found that officers performing searches at the festivals had not used a “music festivals field processing form” designed to help police comply with person searching law and policy. Which resulted in only 35% of records being clear and consistent. Adding some more insult to injury… only 30% of strip search records reflected consideration of seriousness and urgency. What have the NSW Police said in response to the finding? The NSW Police Force acknowledged the results were below the expected standard. It said this may have been because the new training and process form were not communicated to the field effectively.  In a media release from the LECC, Acting Chief Commissioner Anina Johnson highlighted training and policies alone are not enough to change conduct. Saying… “It is critical that new processes are effectively communicated to all police officers and reinforced with proper supervision on the ground.” Another document stated, “The NSW Police Force has since re-communicated the music festivals training and guidelines throughout the state.” But I can't find anything firmer on what else they're doing to improve these results. So, going into festival season. What are the strip search laws? So this is NOT legal advice. But, the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (LEPRA) gives police powers to search people in certain circumstances. LEPRA also requires officers to follow certain rules to preserve a person's privacy and dignity. An officer may conduct a person search if the officer suspects on reasonable grounds that the person has in their possession any stolen, prohibited, dangerous or otherwise unlawfully obtained item. So in a musical festival setting we're mainly talking about illicit drugs. A person search means the officer may quickly run their hands over the person's outer clothing and require the person to remove coat, jacket, shoes, socks, gloves and hat, pass an electronic metal detection device over a person's outer clothing or anything removed from the person.  An officer may strip search a person in the field (i.e. any place that is not a police station) if the officer suspects on reasonable grounds that:  a strip search is necessary for the purposes of the search, and that  the seriousness and urgency of the circumstances make the strip search necessary.  And there are sections on additional privacy and dignity rules which officers must follow during a strip search.

Saying It's So Doesn't Make It So - The Right Kind of Faith

Reasonably significant political news today- ACT's David Seymour has absolutely ruled out working with Winston Peters in Government after the election.  Saying: “It's impossible to see us sitting around the Cabinet table.” And: "There's no way that you're going to solve the problems that New Zealand needs to solve when you've got someone who's had so many chances and screwed it up so many times before.”  Amen. I like Winston Peters, I like him a lot. But David Seymour's bang on here. How many more chances are we gonna give this guy?  The thought of Winston being able to choose or influence the next Government actually terrifies me. I don't care how many times and in how many ways he tells me- like he did on air on Tuesday- that he will not support a Labour Government into power. I do not believe him, as far as I'm concerned, Winston Peters cannot be trusted. In 1996, he told voters to: “put Jim Bolger in Opposition where he belongs”. After the election, he put Jim Bolger back into power. Lesson learned. Even if he was true to his word and didn't go with Labour, can you imagine the disaster a National Government would be with him in it?  This country is headed in completely the wrong direction. We need some serious change, but  Winston's not a change guy. Winston's a handbrake guy. He's spent the last 35+ years complaining about the reforms of the 1980s which saved this country's bacon. We need reforms again, to save us once again, can you imagine him allowing that to  happen?  Plus, we are broke. We are out of cash. Grant Robertson's holding meetings demanding Government agency bosses slash their budgets to plug a probably multi billion dollar fiscal hole as our economy slows and tax revenue drops. Winston's a spending guy. He's the guy who forced Labour to give him $3 billion in provincial growth fund money, which his party splashed around the provinces trying to win votes. And which the auditor general looked into and found was so sloppy officials weren't keeping proper notes   So no, I'm with David Seymour. I don't mind a bit of Winston in Parliament to spice things up, but I'd prefer if he stayed the hell away from Government. Especially now, when we do not have the time or the money for his game playing and expensive pet projects. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We discuss Image-Thinking: Artmaking as Cultural Analysis by Mieke Bal. Mieke (www.miekebal.org) started as a literary scholar. Her commitment is to interdisciplinary approaches to cultural artifacts and their potential effects. She focuses on gender, migratory culture, psychoanalysis, and the critique of capitalism. Mieke published 45 books and curated many exhibitions. She directed films and documentaries, many of which are exhibited as video installations in museums over the world. Her books include a trilogy on political art: Endless Andness, Thinking in Film, and Of What One Cannot Speak. Mieke supervised 81 PhDs. She (co-)made documentaries on migratory culture, and films which she calls ‘theoretical fictions.' A Long History of Madness argues for a more humane treatment of psychosis, and was exhibited in a site-specific version, Saying It, in the Freud Museum in London. Madame B was combined with paintings by Edvard Munch in the Munch Museum in Oslo. Reasonable Doubt is about the philosopher René Descartes and explores the social aspects of thinking. The installation Don Quixote: tristes figuras is exhibited as a sixteen channel video work. Becoming Vera is a documentary about a girl who is "three years old. Living in three worlds". Her latest film, It's About Time! Reflections on Urgency was produced in Poland (2020), just before the corona pandemic. It's a short film and you can watch it in full on Mieke's website. She was recently was elected to the one-year chair “L'invention de l'Europe par les langues et les cultures”, founded as one of three “chaires annuelles” by the Collège de France. Image-Thinking proposes a new model of synthesis of creative and intellectual work. It merges theoretical and practical considerations in innovative and empowering ways, while clarifying difficult concepts through accounts of practice including trauma, agency, identity and affect. We also briefly discuss Mieke's influential idea of "travelling concepts", which she introduced in her 2002 book

In Plato's Cave, the prisoners start out being limited to only one perspective, one way to look at life. But they turn around and go on a journey, where they encounter images that challenge what they have always believed about who they are and how the world works. In this episode, we will look at the way we can look at the world from different angles. We discuss how art can not only help us do that, but is in fact necessary and urgent. How can image-thinking bring new ideas into society? Is it necessary to have a clear identity? What is the role between madness and invention? I spoke about these and other questions with Mieke Bal.   About Mieke Bal Mieke (www.miekebal.org) started as a literary scholar. Her commitment is to interdisciplinary approaches to cultural artifacts and their potential effects. She focuses on gender, migratory culture, psychoanalysis, and the critique of capitalism. Mieke published over fourty books, curated many exhibitions. She directed films and documentaries, many of which are exhibited as video installations in museums over the world. Her books include a trilogy on political art. The titles of these books are Endless Andness, Thinking in Film, and Of What One Cannot Speak. They demonstrate her integrated approach to academic, artistic and curatorial work. This year she has new books coming out, including a book called Image-Thinking, a term she coined and which we will discuss later on. Mieke has had a long academic career and supervised 80 PhDs, with the 81st currently underway. Mieke did not just limit herself to teaching, research and theoretical development. She (co-)made documentaries on migratory culture, and films which she calls ‘theoretical fictions.' A Long History of Madness argues for a more humane treatment of psychosis, and was exhibited in a site-specific version, Saying It, in the Freud Museum in London. Madame B was combined with paintings by Edvard Munch in the Munch Museum in Oslo. Reasonable Doubt is about the philosopher René Descartes and explores the social aspects of thinking. The installation Don Quixote: tristes figuras is exhibited as a sixteen channel video work. Becoming Vera is a documentary about a girl who is "three years old. Living in three worlds". Her latest film, It's About Time! Reflections on Urgency was produced in Poland (2020), just before the corona pandemic. It's a short film and you can watch it in full on Mieke's website. Her exhibition Art out of Necessesity in the museum Jan Cunen in Oss unfortunately was cut short because of the corona pandemic, but there is a Dutch book about the exhibition and you can find some short video's about the exhibition here.    In our discussion, I mention the portrait of Mieke by Carla van Puttelaar that was positioned at the beginning of the exhibition. You can find the image here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B8E2bEjlLml/    We also speak about Dali's The Invisible Man: https://www.dalipaintings.com/the-invisible-man.jsp    I hope you enjoy our discussion!

Hola Elements! Its Kayla here with Episode 30: It's Weird, I'm Saying It. Check Back. In this episode, I firstly talk to you about my feelings on last week's inauguration. Personally I felt as if we are embarking on a new journey as a whole country and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us. Before closing the episode I wanted to give you a check back or an update*starts to smile slowly* on the development of the Rising Elements Podcast Instagram. As I originally stated, the Instagram was to launch on January 5, but I decided to push it back so I can have more time to make it look amazing. Which means we are looking at mid-February before the launch. Until then Gen Z. Rise on Elements! :) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kayla-jackson10/support

A half hour devotion for the residents of Milward House Pilgrim Home.-Readings- Luke 22-31-38 and John 18-4-11--In the upper room our Lord not only sought to prepare his disciples for seeing him crucified, but for their ministry afterwards. They would have a different reception than before. The adversaries they would have was indicated by the Lord's reference to a sword. When they said they had two, he said it was enough. Enough for what- certainly not to effectually fight and win by that means. Enough for what the Lord was to teach them. -Put up thy sword into the sheath- the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it.- -John 18-11--With all the opposition the Apostles had, we don't read of them taking up arms. The lesson was leant. Have we learnt it---But there are other examples of where God measures time, afflictions, evidences etc, to what is needed and no more- Saying -It is enough---We look at some of these examples in the word.---Service sheets for these devotions are on eDocs

Getting to the heart and soul of what you do is where you find your passion and that is the key to unlocking an extraordinary life! When it comes to living large and giving it your all, Bruce Buffer is no stranger to living passionately. In this episode of My Extra Mile, David T. S. Wood talks with Bruce about how to know when "It's time" to follow your dreams. If you want to live your life fueled with passion, this episode is a must-hear! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   Infusing your life with passion Realizing when it's time for a change and how to monetize your interests Saying "It's time" to your goals The secret to having a great day Waking up to the possibility of what's in front of you A pyramid analogy to help you stay focused The secret to becoming 100% better at everything you do Daily routines to help you live your life passionately   When you get knocked down, you have to get back up and push forward even harder to get to where you want. When you infuse passion into everything you do, you'll:   Enjoy it more Easily face with any positives and negatives you encounter along the way   Living your life with clarity and certainty will allow you to invest fully into whatever you want. You will wake up to the possibilities in front of you and pursue your dreams without regret. To start living the life you want, create a morning ritual, and maybe even add a mantra to keep you focused on where you want to be. The secret to having the best day possible is starting it with a positive, passionate attitude. The power of a pyramid hierarchy   What happens if you don't know what your passion is in life? What if you don't know where you want to go, let alone how to get there? If you're not living your best life, start by identifying the things you enjoy. Then consider what your life would look like if you did that every day!   Life is like a pyramid, whether you look at your home, work, etc., there is an essential hierarchy for everyone involved. The top 2% of the pyramid is the people making things happen and hustling every day. The remaining 98% is just as important as the top 2%, though. Without that support system in place, the whole pyramid would crumble.   If you're going into something for the first time, tackle the essentials first and learn the basics to find your footing. Then, once you've mastered the basics, go on to the next thing, and then continue the cycle as you work towards mastering whatever it is in front of you. But, a word to the wise: don't spread yourself too thin and try to learn many different things. Choose one path you're passionate about that is in line with your goals and give it your all as you climb the pyramid to that top 2%! The key to unlocking an extraordinary life   Hard work isn't what happens while you're on your way up the pyramid. The hardest part is maintaining consistency and keeping yourself successful once you're up there! It can be tempting to become complacent at the top and lose your momentum, but if you do, that is when your business will start to fall.   The key to an extraordinary life is passion, but it's also crucial to learn not to take things for granted. Passion creates a 24/7 attitude of success and appreciating the journey will give you a much better understanding as you encounter others along the way. If you want to get 100% better at anything you do, you only need to be 1% better every day for 100 days! With the right attitude and focus, you can do anything!

In this episode, we get to know Lisa a bit more, and hear a slice of her story. Ten Things Other People Like but Lisa Doesn't Wearing sneakers Jogging (and not because of sneakers) Saying “It is what it is” Mustard Pedicures Wedding receptions Fruit pies Being licked by a dog Caffeine Getting/having a tan (tough as a Floridian!) BONUS: cold weather (defined as anything below 70F!) Click here to see the picture from the one time Melissa has seen Lisa wear sneakers. Lisa shares from the time she had to muster up the most courage: allowing herself to be fully seen by others as her first marriage was falling apart. Unfortunately many of us have been through the pain of a broken relationship, and our hope is by hearing someone else's story, how courage was cultivated even in excruciating circumstances, that you will be encouraged as you face hard things, and can learn how to go gently with yourself as you reflect back on these kinds of painful situations. Being a human is hard...the cost is so much courage! Connect with Lisa: www.lisakbaker.com IG: @drlisakbaker

Born into a real estate family, Shon has been around the business since we was 4 years of age.   After initially resisting getting into the real estate business, Shon experienced his first taste of the benefits and opportunities available through real estate at the age of 18 when he flipped his first house netting a cool $60,000 profit.  From that this point forward Shon was hooked! At the age of 20, Shon was introduced to a book that would go on to change his life. After reading the E-Myth by Michael Gerber, Shon became committed to systematizing the process of helping home buyers.  This commitment to systemizing his process led Shon to consistently close over 100 buyer sales per year, year after year with just one assistant helping him. The system’s Shon employed created a consistent and predictable result resulting in a very streamlined and positive buying experience for his clients. Shon’s early success with his real estate business ultimately led him to found his own mortgage, title, land development and home building company outside his hometown of Denver CO.   After creating 6 streams of income from his real estate business Shon’s business experienced some real challenges as the recession of 2008 took it’s toll on him.   These changes ultimately led to Shon finding his true calling and purpose of helping others through coaching and training.  This shift in his business ultimately led to the creation of MAPS Coaching and Business Mastery and the creation of some of the most successful and impactful coaching companies within all of the real estate industry. Shon shares how he has used leverage to create explosive growth in both his real estate and coaching business. Leverage is found in 4 ways. Models Systems Technology People —By Who YOU can help you do these things? —By When - When will it happen by. Shon and ICON Coaching’s believe that Any Goal is Accomplishable, provided you have the right plan.  Shon’s methodology consists of three crucial components to success. ETA:  Expectations - Targets - Actions Know what you want and having specific clarity around that.  Expectation is a better word for Goal. Target:  A interim expectation that is measurable yet it is not grounded in a single type action. Actions:  Identify what actions are required to hit the target. Shon goes onto share. the single thing that determines ones success in sales your ability to remain relevant.  The easiest way to remain relevant  is your ability to add value to your database and position yourself in the mind of everybody within your sphere of influence.   The easiest way to build trust, rapport and loyalty is through education. Communicate, add value and educate your sphere of influence.   Shon’s recommendation for every sales profession is to focus on 3 key factors that you CAN control. Knowing What to say. Knowing HOW to say it Saying IT to enough people. ---------------------------------------- Real Stories of Success Facebook   Connect with Austin: Facebook / Website / Email / 317.797.3619   Connect with Ryan: Facebook / Instagram / Website / Email / 317.509.7431

"It's Ok To Feel This" 12/7/19 10% Happier Self Care Journey - Day 4 Notes ° Recognition isn't mindfulness. We can recognize something and still be averse to it. ° Mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique. ° Saying "It's ok to feel this" allows us to balance the recognition with a genuine acceptance of what we're feeling or what is there. ° When meditating and using the words "In/Out" while breathing use mouth shapes that naturally mimic these words like in Pranayamic breathing exercises. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aaronhill/support

Spencer from Seattle talks Space We had a cosmic conversation with Spencer Anunsen (first time guest, long time listener), who is a mechanical engineer at Synchronous. Synchronous is a company doing work in the space industry whose website boasts the tagline, “building the barely possible”. Spencer talks building trebuchets, is actually from Seattle, and has great taste in beer. We talked with him at length about his childhood in Seattle (how weird!), his work with the Mars Curiosity Rover project as an intern at Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the privatized space industry, the point of mining asteroids, billionaires and their rockets, future space missions and much, much more. It was a hell of a time. Spencer ONLINE Linkedin Also if you want to tell us about all the questions you would ask Spencer, we’d love to hear them or forward them on.

Saying “It’s like Harry Potter” is a useful way to describe a book, but He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named should absolutely not be named in children’s publishing. Like Facebook or Instagram, it’s the unicorn that warps the industry, and “sets impossible expectations,” according to editor Connie Hsu.Most middle-grade fantasy series are duds, so not only might Arlo Finch not become Harry Potter, it might not become anything at all.Thank you to our sponsors:Squarespace - Use the offer code LAUNCH at checkout when you are ready to launch your website at: www.squarespace.comLinkedin - Get a $50 credit toward your first job posting when you visit them here: www.LinkedIn.com/LaunchDollar Shave Club - Get a DSC starter kit including a premium razor and shea butter cream for just $5 when you visit them here: www.dollarshaveclub.com/Launch

This is a story of two leaders. We worked with the organisation on team leadership because one of their sales teams was "highly successful" and another was "doing poorly, with a very low morale". The organisation wanted us to "find out what's working in [the high-performing  team], fix the [low-performing team] and run a training programme for all the other sales teams to  be as good as [the high-performing team]." Ann, the leader of the high-performing team had joined the company 5 years previously as a  sales representative. She was good at her job and always exceeded her targets. She was  promoted to team leader after 3 years and had infused her own enthusiasm, determination and  will to her team. Her team members were happy, hard-working and also successful, most  exceeding targets. Joe, the leader of the low-performing team had similarly joined the company 5 years previously,  though as sales team leader. Joe's team were, by contrast, unhappy and unsuccessful in  achieving targets. This had been the case for all 5 years. The team members had changed  frequently over, this time, only one member remained from the original team that Joe took over. Ann was enthusiastic when we spoke with her about her success. Saying "It's great to have  such a wonderful team. I enjoy working with them and we're doing well." She went on, "My  boss is great, really believes in me and lets me run things the way I want. I like that, and I try  to treat everyone in the team the same way. When they are down about something, maybe  their kid is in trouble or sick, I let them take time out if they need to, so long as the work gets  done sometime, it doesn't 'have to be 9 to 5. I trust them to make up the time, and they do,  and more!" Joe was belligerent when we spoke, "I have tried everything possible to make these people  work harder and make target. They're always moaning that their kid's sick or they have to visit  the doctor. Always skiving off, taking toilet breaks, going for coffee. If I turn my back for one  instant, they're gone." When prompted, Joe continues, "My boss is pretty useless. Only ever  comes round at the end of the month to [tell me off] for not making target. To be honest, I'm fed  up, I don't 'think I'll ever get this team to perform and the stress is making me sick." There are, of course, several things here we could expand on, but what was clearly apparent  was that Ann's boss believed in her and she, in turn, believed in her team and their abilities, that  she could trust them and that they would deliver. Joe's Ann's boss believed in her and she, in turn, believed in her team and their abilities, that  she could trust them and that they would deliver. Joe's boss, didn't appear to be that  concerned for Joe and didn't help. Joe, in turn, trusted staff to 'skive' and believed that she  would never get the team to perform. When someone else, particularly someone in authority over you (a leader, parent, boss,  teacher) believes in you and your abilities it helps you to believe in yourself and your team.  What you believe on the inside, becomes manifest on the outside. This is usually the attitude  that you portray and the way you communicate. It saddens me that quite a number of clients I meet who have had someone steal their self-esteem at some point in their life. Be it a parent, a lousy teacher or a bullying superior. The good news for many is that it has helped them to turn victimhood into victory. Making sure that they never do that to someone else. But not everyone has someone who will help build them up. And, unsurprisingly, those who, like Joe, tend to believe the worst of everyone, were themselves robbed of their self-esteem earlier in their life and career. The great news is that you can turn it around, by appreciating your own value, your own core strengths and choose to edify yourself. The quickest and most effective way to build yourself up is remarkably simple. Believe in someone else today If, by some chance you are wishing that your parents, teachers, boss etc showed their belief in you… or even vaguely tempted to go “if only…” Go forth right now, find someone that you care about and say the following: “I believe in you. You can achieve anything you want to achieve.”

I'm joined by Mariann Yip, host of the podcast The City Confessions and Author of “UN-HINGED what I Learned from Saying It's You, It's Not Me in the NYC Dating Scene.”Mariann and I discuss how therapy helped us navigate our dating challenges, why we should stop asking our friends to show us photos of their date/crush, the importance of looking for a growth-oriented relationship, how much we have changed throughout our twenties. Mariann shares how she learned to set boundaries when dating, what kinds of boundaries she set, and how your boundaries have helped her filter through potential partners. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/seeing-other-people/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
