It is possible to practice the rhythms of faith and still miss the Person those rhythms were meant to lead us to. We can read Scripture, attend church, adopt the language of discipleship, and build entire spiritual lives around the habits of Jesus—while quietly drifting from intimacy with Jesus Himself. This week on Win Today, Hosanna Wong joins me for a clarifying and deeply confronting conversation about the difference between performing Christianity and actually knowing God. We examine how selective obedience slowly erodes intimacy with Him, why legalism has learned to rebrand itself as passion for holiness, and how seasons of hiddenness and crushing are often the environments where authentic discipleship is formed. Hosanna also unpacks six roadblocks that frequently prevent believers from experiencing genuine connection with God, revealing how easy it is to substitute religious activity for relational transformation. The invitation of Jesus has never been behavior management or spiritual performance—it is repentance, surrender, and relationship. If you've been doing the practices of faith but still feel distant from God… if you've sensed the quiet conviction that something deeper is being asked of you, or if you're realizing that obedience in some areas has been selective rather than surrendered, this episode will bring needed clarity. Guest Bio Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author, and spoken word artist known for helping everyday people know Jesus in a real and personal way. Widely recognized for her viral spoken word piece "I Have A New Name," Hosanna shares her message in churches, conferences, prisons, and ministries around the world, reaching across denominations, cultures, and backgrounds. Raised in an urban ministry on the streets of San Francisco, she later spent years traveling throughout the United States speaking and sharing the gospel through spoken word poetry while living out of suitcases. Through her speaking, writing, and creative work, Hosanna equips believers to deepen their relationship with God and pursue authentic discipleship.

In this podcast, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discusses various aspects of hunting property management with professional forester Tim Russell (Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services). They delve into the importance of understanding forest management plans, evaluating timber, and the significance of maintaining diversity in forest stands. The conversation also touches on the terminology surrounding selective cutting and the ecological role of leaf litter in forest ecosystems. Listeners gain insights into practical tools for landowners and the complexities of managing their properties effectively. This conversation delves into the complexities of forest management, focusing on leaf litter's role in soil chemistry, the challenges of oak regeneration, innovative management techniques, and the implications of clear cutting. The speakers discuss practical strategies for enhancing wildlife habitats and ensuring sustainable timber harvests, emphasizing the importance of planning, and understanding ecological dynamics. Takeaways Understanding the neighborhood is crucial before purchasing land. Timber management should align with landowner objectives. Regular updates to forest management plans are necessary for tax benefits. Landowners can evaluate timber using basic metrics like diameter and species. Diversity in tree species is important for forest health and resilience. Selective cutting can mean different things; clarity is essential. Leaf litter is vital for nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Tree selection should consider both habitat and economic factors. Maintaining a balance of species prevents dominance and promotes health. Understanding the role of leaf litter can enhance forest management strategies. Leaf litter plays a significant role in soil chemistry. Different tree species affect soil pH differently. Light is often more limiting than nutrients for tree growth. Oak regeneration is a critical concern for forest management. High deer populations complicate oak seedling survival. Managing shade tolerance is essential for oak regeneration. Slash walls can be effective in protecting seedlings from deer. Clear cutting can create beneficial habitat features. Proper planning is crucial for successful timber harvests. Treating forests well leads to better wildlife outcomes.

Today, Steve sits down with Dr. Helena Boschi, globally acclaimed psychologist, to talk about the best security system of all: the human brain. The two discuss how stress impacts performance in high stakes environments like cybersecurity, why trust and psychological safety matter more than ever, and what leaders can do to help their team stay calm, focused, and creative even when the pressure is on. Finally, Dr. Boschi also explains what neuroscience reveals about how we can train our brains to become more cyber resilient. Key Takeaways: Leaders must be aware of the early warning signs of too much stress – memory loss, absentmindedness, sudden outbursts, etc. Leaders must strike a balance between quick results and allow teams to think about problems in new ways, even if it takes a little longer. The brain is not great at adapting to big changes, so introduce new things in chunks to make the transition easier. Tune in to hear more about: How the brain can help us become better leaders (11:26) Digital fatigue (19:56) How leaders help teams embrace change (25:50) Standout Quotes: “If you can see that if people start behaving in a much more emotional way than normal or they're struggling to make decisions or they're a bit absent-minded, time for leaders to say, let's just take a pause and let's think about what's going on. By the time these warning signs are spilled over into physical and behavioral ones, it's normally then almost too late.” - Dr. Helena Boschi “In a world with endless distraction, we have got information coming at us from all directions, and we simply don't have the brain power to deal with it all. So the brain selects what it wants to focus on based on what's important to that person. So what's important for me may not be important for you. We have to select, the brain has to actively select – this is called selective attention. Selective attention also makes us blind to the things we are choosing not to focus on. And you might pick up something that I am blind to. So your selective attention might help me see what I can't see. So it's really important to surround yourself with people who disagree with you, who see the world differently, because their blindness will be different to our blindness.” - Dr. Helena Boschi “Human beings are quite fallible and they're quite flawed because we have a brain that is not optimized for making the best decisions. It's optimized for making the best decisions for me, but often not for the collective. And when it comes to information security, again, it's not really optimized. If the brain is tired or hungry, it won't make great decisions. So I think coming back to basics for the brain is really important. Keeping the brain in its most healthy state is probably the best thing that cybersecurity professionals can do, and that means keeping the body very active.” - Dr. Helena Boschi Read the transcript of this episodeSubscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcastsConnect with us on LinkedIn and TwitterFrom the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this episode, Professor Louise Serpell is joined by 2026 Rainwater Prize winners Professor Dennis Dickson, Professor Melissa Murray and Dr Marc Busche. They talk about their work and the science that led to them earning this much deserved award, reflecting on decades of research into tau and its role in neurodegenerative disease. The conversation explores how tau functions in the healthy brain, how it becomes harmful in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, and why certain brain regions are especially vulnerable. The discussion covers different forms of tau, including soluble species that may disrupt how neurons fire before visible tangles appear. Brain banking, imaging and fluid biomarkers are highlighted as key tools for understanding disease differences and improving diagnosis. The importance of rare MAPT mutations and what they can teach us about future treatments is also explored. Alongside the science, there are thoughtful reflections on mentorship, risk taking and the value of asking ambitious questions in dementia research. 10 Key Takeaways

Send a textIf you're banking on raw talent to carry you, this conversation will feel like a wake-up call. We break down the real separator in high school baseball—consistency—and show how it outperforms flash, hype, and one big showcase swing. From running out grounders during a slump to throwing intent-filled bullpens when no one's filming, we draw a straight line between boring, repeatable habits and the trust that earns roles, innings, and opportunities.We also go straight at excuses. Umpires, weather, lineups, and “bad hops” make easy targets, but every excuse hands away your power. Instead, we focus on the controllables: effort, preparation, attitude, and response. You may not control playing time, but you own how you train when your name isn't called. You can't erase mistakes, but you decide whether they define you or sharpen you. High school is where these patterns form, and college coaches can spot the difference between accountability and blame from a mile away.Finally, we unpack what coachability really means. It isn't silence or people-pleasing; it's openness to instruction and the humility to apply feedback when it stings. Selective learners only accept coaching that feels good—and they plateau. The players who last hear a correction, say “Got it, coach,” and go right back to work. We close with a clear standard you can use today: be consistent when it's boring, take ownership when it's hard, and stay coachable when pride gets loud. Do these long enough and the results take care of themselves—on the field and in life.If this hits home, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a teammate who's ready to own their development.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

2026-02-20 Hosts Craig Lipset, Dr. Amir Kalali, and Jane Myles were joined my Meghana Chalaseni, Mary Thanh-Hai, and Mitch Psotka from the FDA.Today's session focused on Selective Safety Data Collection (SSDC) and how it can streamline clinical trials when a drug's safety profile is already well-established. Mary Thanh Hai and Mitch Psotka explained that SSDC, formalized through FDA guidance and ICH E19, allows for a planned reduction in low-value safety data while maintaining robust monitoring of serious adverse events and other critical outcomes. The panel addressed common misconceptions, emphasizing that SSDC does not lower safety standards or eliminate oversight, it simply focuses on collecting data that meaningfully informs the risk-benefit profile.Meghana Chalasani also highlighted FDA's C3TI demonstration program and other innovative approaches like Bayesian methods and streamlined trials embedded in clinical practice. The discussion closed with practical site-level considerations, including how to integrate SSDC into existing workflows while maintaining consistency and regulatory alignment. Overall, the conversation underscored a shift toward smarter, more efficient trial design without compromising patient safety.You can join TGIF-DTRA Sessions live on LinkedIn Live on Friday's at 12:00 PM ET by checking out our LinkedIn.

The headlines expose rot, but exposure isn't repentance. This only makes us experts at spotting evil and amateurs at correcting it. Here's why that hypocrisy keeps the darkness winning.
Originally uploaded January 15th, reloaded January 22nd Chris Holman welcomes back Cliff Hammond, Shareholder, Foster Swift Collins & Smith PC Attorneys, Southfield and Lansing of their 5 offices across Michigan. Chris had several questions for Cliff in this conversation: You have an event coming up, tell us about that? What does the Administration's issued an Executive Order on marijuana cover? Do we know when will this Order go into effect? What impact could rescheduling marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III have on businesses and drug testing? How does this impact employment drug testing now and how could that change if Marijuana is rescheduled? Does this Executive Order allow for both recreational and medical use of marijuana like we have under Michigan's current state laws? How should multi-state employers navigate differences between federal reclassification and varying state marijuana laws without creating compliance gaps?

Selective focus of dried weed and bottles with medical cannabis lettering near doctor writing prescription Employers are facing one of the most consequential shifts on workplace drug policy in recent memory. On December 18, 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order that reclassifies marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug. While this does not legalize marijuana federally, this change could significantly alter how courts and agencies evaluate ADA accommodation requests. With the federal directive to move marijuana to Schedule III, courts and enforcement agencies may reinterpret what constitutes a “reasonable accommodation”, especially for employees who are lawfully using state‑approved medical cannabis.

1 Cor 5:9-13 When is it time to move on from "Christian" friends? That sounds pretty harsh. However, in our text Paul says that there are some so-called Christians that the church shouldn't be around. So, what would that person look like? And why is it so important to God that the church separates? We'll consider those questions as we continue our study in 1 Cor.
In this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee for a wide-ranging conversation blending pop culture, sports, politics, and music industry insight. The episode opens with current events and trending pop culture moments that set the tone for a lively, humorous, and critical dialogue [00:55], before shifting into nostalgic concert experiences and how live music fandom has evolved across generations [06:00].

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Listening is the most underrated sales skill because it's the one that actually tells you what the buyer is thinking, not what you wish they were thinking. Most salespeople believe they listen well, but in real conversations—especially under pressure—we drift into habits that feel like listening while we're actually rehearsing our next line. In Japan, in the US, in Europe—whether you're selling to an SME, a startup, or a multinational—buyers can feel when you're not fully present. Are you really listening to the buyer—or just waiting to talk? Most salespeople aren't listening; they're mentally queuing up their next point, and the buyer can hear the delay. This shows up in every market: a SaaS rep in San Francisco, a relationship banker in London, or an account manager in Tokyo can look attentive while their mind is sprinting ahead. The trigger is usually one "important" phrase—budget, competitor, timing—then your attention snaps away from the buyer and into your internal monologue. You're still hearing, but you're not taking in. That gap matters because buyers don't only communicate in words. In executive-level meetings at firms like Toyota or Rakuten, meaning often sits inside tone, pace, hesitations, and what goes unsaid. Post-pandemic, with more hybrid calls on Zoom or Teams, these cues are easier to miss—unless you deliberately train for them. Do now: Treat every buyer conversation like a live intelligence feed: if you're writing your reply in your head, you've stopped listening. What are the five levels of listening in sales? There are five levels—Ignore, Pretend, Selective, Attentive, and Empathetic—and most sales calls hover around levels 2 or 3. Ignore doesn't mean staring at your phone; it can mean being hijacked by your own thoughts the moment the buyer says something provocative. Pretend looks like nodding, eye contact, "mm-hmm"—but your brain is busy building the pitch. Selective listening is the killer in modern B2B: you filter for "yes/no" buying signals, but you miss the conditions attached to them (timeline, stakeholders, risk concerns). Attentive listening is full-focus: no interruptions, no filtering, paraphrasing to confirm. Empathetic listening goes further—eyes and ears—reading what's behind the words and "meeting the buyer in the conversation going on in their mind." That's as relevant in procurement-heavy Japan as it is in fast-moving US sales teams. Do now: Identify which level you default to under pressure—and train upward, not sideways. What does "ignoring the client" look like if you're still in the room? You can "ignore" a buyer while looking directly at them—by following your own thoughts instead of their words. This is common when the client says something that sparks urgency: "We're also talking to your competitor," "Budget is tight," "We need this by Q2." The moment you latch onto that, the rest of what they say fades into the mist because you're fixated on the counterpoint you must deliver. In enterprise sales, this is where deals quietly die: you respond to the wrong problem, at the wrong depth, to the wrong stakeholder. In Japan, where meaning can be indirect and consensus-based, this is riskier—what's not said can be the real message. In Australia, where communication is often more direct, you can still miss the nuance in tone—especially in remote calls where you're juggling slides, notes, and chat. Do now: When you feel triggered, pause and mentally label it: "That's my ego talking—back to the buyer." Why do salespeople "pretend" to listen—and how can you spot it? Pretend listening happens when your body language says "I'm with you" but your mind is already pitching, defending, or debating. You nod. You lean in. You look professional. But internally you're preparing the product dump, building the objection-handling case, or rehearsing the "killer story." It's the classic "lights are on, but you're not home" dynamic—common across industries like consulting, insurance, tech, and professional services. The modern version is worse: you're also glancing at CRM notes, Slack messages, or the next meeting timer. Buyers notice because your responses don't quite match what they said. You answer a question they didn't ask, or you jump too early. In negotiation-heavy environments (Japan, Germany, regulated sectors), this reads as disrespect. In faster markets (US startups), it reads as shallow. Do now: After the buyer speaks, summarise in one sentence before you respond with anything else. Is "selective listening" efficient—or does it sabotage sales outcomes? Selective listening is efficient for hearing buying signals, but it often sabotages effectiveness by skipping the context that makes the "yes" or "no" meaningful. Salespeople are trained to hunt for signals: interest, hesitation, resistance. But if you only listen for yes/no, you miss the conditions attached—like internal politics, compliance concerns, implementation capacity, or fear of change. You also jump the gun: you hear the "no" early and start crafting your rebuttal while the buyer is still explaining why. The Japan example is instructive: because the verb often arrives at the end of the sentence, you're forced to hear the whole thought before reacting. In English, you can start manufacturing your reply mid-sentence, which feels fast but can be sloppy. Across APAC, where indirectness can be a politeness strategy, selective listening becomes a deal-killer because the meaning sits in the qualifiers. Do now: Don't respond to the first "yes/no." Wait for the full sentence—then ask one clarifying question. What's the difference between attentive listening and empathetic listening—and which closes deals? Attentive listening makes you accurate; empathetic listening makes you influential because it reveals what the buyer is really protecting. Attentive listening is full presence: you don't interrupt, you don't filter, you paraphrase to confirm understanding. This alone differentiates you in any market—Japan, the US, Europe—because most professionals are distracted. Empathetic listening is the next level: you listen with your eyes and ears, tracking tone, body language, and what isn't being said. You sense anxiety behind a budget objection, or politics behind a "we'll think about it." You aim to "meet the buyer in the conversation going on in their mind," which is exactly what executive-level selling requires. In leadership cultures where saving face matters (Japan, parts of Asia), empathy helps you surface concerns safely. In direct cultures (Australia, US), empathy helps you avoid brute-force pitching and instead guide the decision. Do now: Paraphrase the facts, then reflect the feeling: "It sounds like timing isn't the only concern here." Conclusion If you want to sell more, stop trying to be more persuasive and start trying to be more present. The five levels of listening are a diagnostic tool: most salespeople drift between Pretend and Selective because their brain is busy performing. Attentive listening earns trust. Empathetic listening uncovers truth. And the fastest way to improve your buyer conversations is to practise listening where it's hardest—at home, with people who don't have to pay you to stay polite.

Cole at age 29, returning to his Fayetteville hometown a decade after moving to New York, reflecting on pivotal crossroads in relationships, career dedication, and city roots. Disc 39 shifts to age 39, offering an older, more peaceful perspective on a similar homecoming, shaped by creative renewal following his 2024 resolution with Kendrick Lamar.Nearly eight years after teasing the concept in KOD's "1985," The Fall Off evolves into a full-circle moment from Cole's debut era. Executive produced by J. Cole, Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, T-Minus, and Dreamville, the album maintains minimal features for a self-driven feel, with standout contributions from Future on “Run a Train,” Tems and Erykah Badu on “Bunce Road Blues,” Burna Boy on “Only You,” Westside Gunn on “The Villest,” and others.The rollout emphasized intimacy and scarcity: announced in January 2026, preceded by the Birthday Blizzard '26 EP (four freestyles hosted by DJ Clue on Cole's 41st birthday), and distributed direct-to-consumer via his official website for stronger fan ownership and data control. Selective press included one major interview, while fan-led listening events in homes, record stores, bars, and spaces like Brooklyn Public Library's Bars & Books gathering amplified community engagement over traditional hype.Thematically, subtle nods to the 2024 lyrical tensions appear, notably in the alternate-history track “What If,” imagining reconciliation. Analytic Dreamz explores how this strategic, narrative-first approach reinforces J. Cole's authenticity, prioritizing depth, loyalty, and legacy over mass exposure in today's industry landscape.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

An active investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Hernandez has left the public with a timeline, a Tesla, and an extensive list of unanswered question. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by journalist Lauren Conlin to review what has been said publicly about Celeste’s initial classification as a runaway, her connections to older individuals, and why the continued absence of a named person of interest raises concern. They turn to the arrest of actor/director Timothy Busfield and discuss what can and cannot be concluded from selective “evidence” releases, how credibility gets weaponized in public, and why child abuse allegations demand careful, methodical evaluation rather than internet verdicts. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl McCollum opens the episode on the death of Celeste Hernandez and why the case is “driving her crazy” • (1:30) Lauren Conlin’s case status framing: no official person of interest, grand jury activity, and what “imminent indictment” does and does not mean • (3:00) Celeste’s runaway classification, age, and how early labels can shape urgency, resources, and risk • (7:15) Behavior after the discovery: canceled tour, transferred home ownership, legal strategy, and public silence • (10:00) Publicity economics: spikes in streams/downloads and the reality of scandal- driven attention • (15:15) Homicide indicator vs. Evidentiary barriers when decomposition complicates cause-of-death determinations • (17:45) Tesla cameras, event data, and why Sheryl expects a digital trail around movement and access • (21:45) Why runaway youth are at elevated risk and how dependency becomes leverage for exploitation • (27:00) Timothy Busfield: prior allegations and the optics of how he presented himself • (29:15) The alleged history patterns, witness context, and credibility disputes around the parents • (33:00) “Tickling to me does not absolve you from being a pervert.” • (36:00) Predatory access: why being near adults does not guarantee safety and how abuse can occur quickly and covertly • (39:15) Sheryl and Lauren address recantation, selective interview clips, and why child abuse cases require restraint, context, and patience before judgment Guest Bio: Lauren Conlin is a New York-based journalist covering true crime and high-profile investigations.

A wild, wide-ranging episode that starts with extreme cold, energy warnings, and even why birds swarm feeders in winter
Hosted by Tara, this wide-ranging and explosive episode connects dots the media refuses to touch. From Peter Schweizer's bombshell book The Invisible Coup to shocking claims about birth tourism in Saipan, Tara breaks down allegations that U.S. birthright citizenship policies were exploited to create a future foreign-influenced voting bloc—all hidden behind loopholes and ignored statistics. The conversation then pivots to ICE enforcement failures, the Alex Preti case, and why under-policing—not over-policing—has led to deadly consequences. Drawing on analysis from journalist Michael Schellenberger and attorney Andrew Branca, Tara explains how failure to enforce 18 U.S.C. §111 has emboldened activists to obstruct, assault, and intimidate federal officers. The episode closes with questions of selective justice, political immunity, DHS funding failures, and eye-raising financial disclosures—asking one central question:
Some will get with the program, and some will be crushed in the process. The predictable pattern they are currently running looks extremely insane. They knew people would follow the stars, so now it's an operation. Fake representation of the public while initiating chaos. The loudest denials are not from the most guilty. Organized operations were started early on. Distractions make things look foggy. Precision matters in real work. The FBI has it all. Where there is no evidence, there is no crime. Proximity to power is not insight. Alleged allies are funding subversion. Real briefings are happening elsewhere. The largest groups presents themselves as allies because it's profitable. Dismissal does not stop serious investigations. Pattern recognition shows danger. It's not Soros behind all this. Selective exposure is another of their tactics. Congress members are in the signal calls. We should run Paxton like a race horse. Let's cut some thunder and do the work. Harvard is funded by the ChiComs. ICE once protected the vulnerable. The NRO is more important. Influencers poison the truth well. It's hard, but we have to carefully listen to their plans and decipher the mindset. Then let's all pray for victory, and humanity.
In this episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B joined by super producer A-King, journalist Jayson Rodriguez, and Jason “Jah” Lee, deliver a layered conversation that blends breaking news, cultural critique, and sharp humor, beginning with a viral American Airlines emergency landingthat sparks a candid discussion about fear, entitlement, and survival instincts as passengers prioritized carry-on luggage over safety [01:25]. That moment opens a broader examination of common sense in crises and how individual behavior reflects larger societal issues. The episode then shifts to pop culture and current events, including pointed reactions to the Golden Globes and what award-season optics reveal about race, recognition, and media narratives [15:37]. From there, the tone deepens as the hosts unpack the controversy surrounding Morris Brown College, following the firing of its president amid ongoing accreditation struggles [20:27], which leads into Jah’s in-depth breakdown of the state of HBCUs and higher education funding in America [01:04:23]. He highlights the alarming reality that nearly 60% of HBCUs risk losing federal funding due to high student loan default rates, connecting these systemic challenges to broader conversations about the American Dream, institutional support, and cultural responsibility. The episode later pivots to lighter but still culturally revealing territory with a discussion of Kirstie Scott’s divorce and the rigid dating norms within Jehovah’s Witness culture, offering context on how faith, relationships, and public perception collide [01:08:27]. The conversation closes with a humorous yet critical take on Cam Newton’s podcast blunder, using the moment to interrogate media representation, stereotypes, and the scrutiny placed on Black men in public-facing platforms [01:21:35].
