Welcome to episode #1020 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when technology listens more closely than people realize and advertising feels less predictive than presumptive, understanding how culture, data and human behavior collide has become essential. David "Shingy" Shing has spent his career at that intersection, shaping how global brands think about creativity, relevance and the emotional consequences of digital systems. Know as the Digital Prophet at AOL (and then Verizon) and a very influential voice in modern branding and innovation, Shingy has advised companies, leaders and creatives on how emerging technologies reshape not just markets, but meaning itself. His work has consistently challenged organizations to move beyond optimization toward empathy, imagination and cultural intelligence. He argues that the most important signals in a data-saturated world are often the quietest ones. That perspective now finds a more personal, reflective outlet in his Substack, Shingy, a newsletter focused on branding, culture, AI and the human side of technology. He explores how conversational data, algorithmic inference and attention-driven business models are altering the relationship between consumers and the systems designed to serve them. Shingy examines why ads increasingly feel intrusive rather than helpful, how conversations themselves have become raw material for targeting and why consumer fatigue is less about frequency than about lost agency. Shingy's work surfaces a growing tension between personalization and privacy, usefulness and surveillance, convenience and control. He argues that as machines become better listeners, brands must become better stewards of restraint, intent and respect... or risk eroding the very relationships they're trying to monetize. Grounded in curiosity and creative provocation, his thinking offers a necessary counterweight to an industry too often obsessed with what can be done instead of what should be done.

【主播的话】2025年12月以来,一场由德黑兰大巴扎商贩发起的抗议,很快席卷了伊朗全境。经济急剧恶化,里亚尔对美元暴跌、通胀飙升、食品与燃料价格激增,普通人维生艰难。很快,经济抗议转向了政治诉求,示威者要求改变政治体制,对伊斯兰共和国统治合法性提出了质疑,甚至出现了“回到巴列维”的口号。伊朗政府于 1 月 8 日开始实施全面的互联网封锁,试图切断国内外信息流通。国家安全力量进行了大规模镇压,根据不同人权组织的独立统计,伤亡数据存在较大差距。截至2026年1月18日,抗议者死亡总数估计在 3300 余人至 2 万人之间,成为伊朗近代史上规模最大的屠杀之一。我们该如何理解伊朗最新一轮的动荡?和过去十几年伊朗出现过的抗议,有什么本质不同?很多人对伊朗的印象仍停留在“制裁、神权政治、反美”,这些标签今天还有多大解释力?伊朗算不算一个“失败国家”?伊朗女性的真实处境是怎么样的?远在中国的我们,又为何要关心遥远的伊朗?【本期主播】若含:小红书@若含王磬:微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】文晶:中东研究学者,多次前往伊朗做研究蒲实:资深媒体人,多次前往伊朗做报道【本期剧透】02:40 两次伊朗之行:宗教控制感减弱、城市更现代,但战争阴影依然存在09:25 此次抗议与以往有何不同?12:50 全国断网,街头镇压,来自伊朗内部的最新感受16:10 为什么抗议总从“大巴扎”开始?19:30 伊朗人如何看待美国?伊朗社会真正的“敌人”是谁?25:00 女性、阶级与伊朗社会的张力39:30 中国与伊朗的关系走向如何?42:45 伊朗永远在大国博弈中,扮演这片土地的主人【相关阅读】《美国的中东政策研究:2009–2017年》作者:文晶本书聚焦奥巴马政府时期的中东政策,系统分析了美国在中东的战略选择、政策工具及其实践效果。该书基于公开资料,包括美国国务院、国防部等核心决策机构的官方文件,以及奥巴马本人的中东事务表述,结合国内外既有研究,进行了全面梳理。我在伊朗长大 Persepolis作者: 玛赞·莎塔碧伊朗裔漫画家玛赞·莎塔碧(Marjane Satrapi)创作的自传体图像小说,最初于2000-2001年以法语分四卷出版(《面纱》《安息日》《流落奥地利》《回家》)。作品采用黑白版画风格,融合波斯细密画与法国新浪潮漫画技法,通过作者童年至青年(10岁到24岁)的个人视角,展现了1979年伊斯兰革命、巴列维王朝覆灭、两伊战争等历史事件下的伊朗社会变迁,包括女性被迫戴面纱、政治压迫和家庭生活冲突。一次别离 A Separation导演: 阿斯加·法哈蒂制片国家/地区: 伊朗 / 法国语言: 波斯语上映日期: 2012-11-13(中国大陆)纳德(佩曼•莫阿迪 Peyman Moadi 饰)与西敏(蕾拉•哈塔米 Leila Hatami 饰)是一对夫妻,他们的女儿叫特梅(萨日娜•法哈蒂 Sarina Farhadi 饰)。西敏希望一家三口移居国外,但是纳德坚决反对,原因是纳德的父亲患有老年痴呆症需要照顾。两人为此对薄公堂,准备离婚,但是法院驳回了她的请求。西敏赌气回了娘家。西敏走后,纳德分身乏术,聘请了一位护工瑞茨(萨瑞•巴亚特 Sareh Bayat 饰)照顾父亲。但是,父亲如厕问题始终困扰瑞茨,依《古兰经》教义,她感到禁忌重重。瑞茨的女儿陪伴在她左右,也令她分神。几个回合下来,纳德某次回家发现,父亲被绑在床上,出离愤怒的他推倒了瑞茨。没想到怀孕的瑞茨竟然流产,瑞茨丈夫怒不可遏将纳德告上了法庭,他们各执一词,然而真相却出人意料……“女人·生命·自由”运动一场自2022年起持续至今的全国性社会抗争,核心诉求聚焦女性权利、生命尊严和自由解放。该运动以口号“女性、生命、自由”为标志,引发了大规模街头抗议、国际声援及社会变革讨论。运动的直接导火索是2022年9月玛莎·阿米尼(Mahsa Amini)的死亡事件。22岁的库尔德族女孩阿米尼因头巾佩戴“不规范”被伊朗道德警察逮捕,数小时后离奇身亡;官方宣称死因为“突发心脏病”,但尸检显示其颅脑遭受严重损伤,引发公众对政府暴力的愤怒。阿米尼的葬礼上,女性首次高呼“女性、生命、自由”口号,并焚烧头巾、剪断长发以示抗议,迅速点燃全国性示威浪潮。【本期音乐】Screen Saver - Kevin MacLeod【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘(ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信:hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

How does the myth of America being a "chosen" nation lead to the religious nationalism we see today? In a presentation first aired in 2023, Harvard Divinity School's Dr. Catherine Brekus talks about how the myth is a complicated mixture of arrogance, exploitation, reform, racism and violence. She looks at the roots of this myth, how it has played out through our country's history, and how the recent surge of white Christian nationalism reflects a deep uneasiness about the loss of Christian privilege in this country. This program originally aired on June 1, 2023, in season 4 of Respecting Religion. SHOW NOTES This episode was originally broadcast as episode 23 of season 4 in 2023.

What happens when religion is used to divide rather than unite? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh talks with comedian, actor, and political commentator John Fugelsang about his book “Separation of Church and Hate”. John shares how his progressive Catholic upbringing shaped his voice as a comedian and commentator and explores how fundamentalist movements have often twisted Christianity for power, far from the teachings of Jesus. From historical examples to modern politics, he shows how faith can be weaponized and how true Christ-followers stand up for justice and compassion. This episode also dives into navigating polarized opinions and understanding the real message of faith to think critically and lead with integrity. In this episode, Darius and John will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Background of John Fugelsang (02:52) Exploring the Separation of Church and Hate (05:44) The Evolution of Christianity and Political Influence (08:20) Debating Religious Beliefs and the Role of AI (11:10) The Impact of Media on Religious Narratives (13:57) The Importance of Love and Unity in Leadership (16:53) The Growing Spiritual Movement and Its Implications (19:34) The Role of Humor and Comedy in Addressing Serious Issues (22:33) Final Thoughts and the Path Forward John Fugelsang is an American actor, comedian, writer, television host, and political commentator known for his sharp wit and outspoken views on politics, religion, and culture. Born on September 3, 1969, on Long Island, New York, he is the son of a former Catholic nun and a former Franciscan friar. John studied film and television at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and began a diverse career in entertainment that includes television, stand‑up comedy, and stage performances. He has appeared in films and TV shows such as “Coyote Ugly” and “America's Funniest Home Videos,” and he's been featured on major news networks including CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Since 2015, he has hosted the progressive talk show Tell Me Everything on SiriusXM Insight, and in 2025 he published his book “Separation of Church and Hate,” blending humor and critical insight on how religion intersects with politics.

John talks about Trump's lust for seizing control of Greenland and how that is playing out on the world stage. Trump spoke at the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland, receiving a wall of sharp words and condemnations for American foreign and economic policy toward Europe. He also discusses anti-ICE protestors disrupting a sermon at Cities Church in ST. Paul Minnesota where their pastor moonlights as an ICE Director in their local field office. Then, he interviews Larry Cohen who is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Point Source Youth, a national organization working to prevent and end youth homelessness in the U.S. through advocacy, research, and support of scalable interventions like direct cash transfers and targeted housing assistance. And, Erika Hartman, who is Chief Executive Officer at Safe Place for Youth, which provides over 1,200+ young people with critical life-saving services yearly including daily meals, substance abuse counseling, mental health services, and access to housing. Point Source Youth and Safe Place for Youth are expanding the CASH LA Targeted Housing Assistance Program, a cost-efficient, evidence-based intervention that helps young people ages 18 to 30 stay housed before they enter the homelessness system. Next, John jokes with J-L Cauvin who is a community advocate, lawyer, and comedian who is running as a Democrat to succeed Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill and represent New Jersey's 11th District in Congress. And then lastly, he welcomes back Rev. Barry Lynn who's an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and served as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State until his retirement in 2017. Rev. Barry's memoir “Paid to Piss People Off” comes in three volumes: PEACE, PORN and PRAYER.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Are lines between church and state blurring even further in today's social, cultural, and political climate? Mormonish Podcast is joined by Dan Hardy, Co President of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and Douglas Hendricks, President of the SLC Chapter of the FFRF, to discuss the topic of church v. state and all the nuance in between. According to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the history of Western civilization shows us that most social and moral progress has been brought about by persons free from religion. In modern times the first to speak out for prison reform, for humane treatment of the mentally ill, for abolition of capital punishment, for women's right to vote, for death with dignity for the terminally ill, and for the right to choose contraception, sterilization and abortion have been freethinkers, just as they were the first to call for an end to slavery. The Foundation works as an umbrella for those who are free from religion and are committed to the cherished principle of separation of state and church.

Actor and meditation teacher Jeff Kober joins Medium Curious for a wide-ranging, funny, and helpful conversation about the mystery: why trying to force “concrete truth” can make our world smaller and more painful—and how learning to live in the question can reopen hope, possibility, and compassion. Jeff shares his origin story as a “reluctant meditator,” describing the inner hell of obsessive thoughts, the surprise of discovering he's not his mind, and why spiritual practice isn't about escaping life—it's about imbuing each moment with consciousness, including grief, fear, anger, shame, and joy. Along the way - Sarah, Jane, and Jeff explore ego, “knowers,” skepticism and mediumship, creativity as a spiritual path (acting, directing, orchestral music), and what it means to be an example of love without pretending you've “got it.” The “concrete truth” trap: When someone's certainty becomes unassailable, real conversation ends—and so does growth. Live in the question: Not having the answers isn't failure; it can be the practice. Meditation creates space: Jeff describes the shift from “my thoughts are me” to “my thoughts are over there.” Ego wants safety now: Separation fuels fear and control; remembering oneness invites compassion. How to deal with “knowers”: Stay supple—and “be the bullfighter, not the cape.” Art is a spiritual training ground: Acting, directing, and playing music all rehearse presence, collaboration, vulnerability, and truth. Skepticism can be healthy: Jeff stays open to spirit and meaning without forcing the “how.” The point isn't only “good vibes”: Consciousness wants the full human experience—joy and the honest depths of sadness, shame, anger, and grief. You're not ruined: At your center is something “pure, whole, and complete,” untouched by what happened to you—or what you've done. Jeff Kober “We're meant to live in the question.” “The universe itself is infinitely loving and kind.” “Consciousness can only embody by forgetting its oneness with itself.” “From individuality, we are solely and wholly at the mercy of the ego.” “Can I continue to expand my consciousness enough to contain even these seeming opposite realities?” Jeff Kober's Website Jeff Kober Instagram Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Welcome to today's Unconditional Remembrance: Your Connection to Source episode of Wisdom Talk Radio.

We are living in a world that feels increasingly divided. Politics, race, gender, religion, identity — lines are being drawn everywhere, and we're told we have to choose sides. What's harder to admit is that the same separation is happening inside spiritual and conscious communities. People focused on being right. Making others wrong. Using spirituality to divide instead of unite. In this episode, we talk about spiritual unity — not as a concept, but as a daily practice. Unity doesn't mean agreement. It doesn't mean bypassing truth or avoiding hard conversations. It means choosing love without needing superiority. If we want real change in the world, it starts with how we listen, how we speak, and how willing we are to see the humanity in one another — especially when it's uncomfortable. This conversation is an invitation to pause, soften, and remember: Love is not passive. Unity is not weak. And being right has never healed the world. Hey! Thanks for listening!

If you've been feeling unsettled by moments that don't seem to make sense, this conversation is here to remind you that you're not alone, and nothing about this experience is strange or wrong. - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

Send us a textIn this enlightening conversation, Gareth and Anne Tucker delve into the profound experiences of channeling the Divine Mother, exploring her journey of creation and destruction. They discuss how she initially created a universe that reflected her essence but found it lacking in growth, leading her to destroy it and learn to let go of control. The speakers share their personal experiences of feeling her energy, describing it as a powerful, loving force that encourages growth and creativity. They emphasize the importance of freedom in the creative process, highlighting how the Divine Mother teaches them to embrace the unknown and allow new possibilities to emerge.As the conversation unfolds, they touch on the nature of existence, the relationship between humanity and the Divine, and the concept of love as a fundamental force. They reflect on their own journeys, revealing how their past experiences have prepared them for this work. They also discuss the significance of allowing oneself to be free and the transformative power of love, which can only flourish when individuals embrace their true selves. The dialogue culminates in a channeling session where the Divine Mother shares insights about unity, freedom, and the essence of creation, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and inspiration.Takeaways"She was given total freedom to do what she wanted to do with it.""You have to create a soul and then give it the full power to create its own world.""The minute you let go, the Phoenix rises from the ashes.""Freedom is the necessary precursor to the experience of love.""You are already God experiencing yourselves."

Dave and Bethlie continue their series on overcoming with this part 2 of Overcoming Anger. How do you overcome anger in your marriage and family Start with confession Eph 4:30. Confess it as sin Control your anger - better - confess your anger Jesus got angry - you aren't Jesus Meditate on Scripture Proverbs 15:1-3 A soft/gentle answer turns away wrath Recognize that you are most vulnerable to sin when you are sinned against the tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright Recognize that your words evidence your heart the eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the good Recognize that God is always present and always holding us accountable Proverbs 17:19 Ecclesiastes 9:17 Start with some growth/spiritual steps If you have an anger issue this is the answer You have to grow Confess it as sin Pray about it every day Ask forgiveness Secure accountability Respond immediately to any failure You have to sow As you sow the right seeds, you will begin to see fruit You have to love and honor Your wife matters Your husband matters If you are married to someone with an anger problem, this is the answer. You have to grow too In order to confront your spouses anger, you have to put your spiritual house in order essential to have the strength, courage, perspective, and ability to help your spouse Pray about how to respond in a right way Practice how to respond in a right way That was a very angry way to say that, can you say it differently so I don't feel so defensive You have to allow time for fruit Anger is usually a learned behavior that is habitual When you respond to your spouse with gentleness and a request for a different response, allow your spouse to process that It makes them aware It give the Spirit time to work Separate as a last resort. I can't (with a clear conscience) believe that anger is a grounds for divorce Separation however, may be needed if a man's anger is making him abusive

What did that mean to you growing up and how did the advocacy of your parents influence the person you are today? Martin Luther King Jr. talked about a revolution of values moving from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 1:5-12Big Idea: God will make everything right when Jesus returns, so our hope is secure even when life is unfair.1. You will come through this more like Jesus than you were before.2. God will judge, and justice will be carried out.3. There are two judgments in the Bible.A. Great White ThroneB. Judgement Seat of Christ.4. Observations about the coming judgment.- God sees everything.- Judgement is necessary for justice.- Separation from God is eternal.- Jesus experienced our judgment for us on the cross.
Many people followed Jesus. Not all of them were truly His disciples.In this episode, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany Coker walk through John chapter 6 to examine one of the most challenging truths of the Christian life: discipleship is more than separation from sin. It requires active devotion to Christ.As many followers walked away from Jesus when His teaching became difficult, Scripture reveals three distinct types of disciples: nominal disciples, real disciples, and false disciples. This conversation explores how each group responds to Jesus, why separation without devotion can be spiritually dangerous, and how believers today can honestly examine their own hearts.What We Discussed02:26 Why Biblical Separation Is MisunderstoodBiblical separation is not about isolation or moral superiority. Scripture calls believers to holiness through repentance and obedience, not excuse or compromise, as seen in 1 Peter 1:15–16 and Romans 6.05:22 Separation from Personal SinChristians are called to deal honestly with their own sin through repentance, confession, and intentional turning away, rather than minimizing or justifying sinful patterns.08:20 Why Small Sins Are Spiritually DangerousHidden or “small” sins do not remain contained. Like poison in a well, personal sin affects prayer, spiritual sensitivity, relationships, and a believer's witness.09:54 Separation from Unrepentant BelieversScripture teaches that fellowship should be withheld from those who profess Christ yet persist in unrepentant sin, both to protect the church and to call the individual to repentance, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 5:11.12:41 Why the Church Must Take Sin SeriouslyUnaddressed sin spreads within the church like yeast through dough 1 Corinthians 5:6.13:42 Separation from False TeachersBelievers are commanded to test teaching against Scripture and separate from those who distort the gospel or deny its truth, following the warning of 1 John 4:1.18:31 Separation from the World SystemScripture calls believers to resist the values and priorities of the world that oppose God, choosing spiritual transformation over conformity, as taught in 1 John 2:15 and Romans 12:2.19:43 Set Apart, Not IsolatedBiblical separation doesn't mean withdrawing from people. It means living with distinct loves, loyalties, and standards while remaining engaged, compassionate, and Christlike.“Discipleship is not about perfection. It is about bringing every area of life under the Lordship of Christ.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

Welcome to episode #1019 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when leadership is being tested less by strategy and more by inner capacity, clarity of judgment and emotional steadiness, the work of Muriel Wilkins stands out for its insistence that progress begins from the inside out. Muriel is an executive coach, CEO of Paravis Partners, and a trusted advisor to senior leaders navigating complexity at the highest levels of organizations, drawing on more than two decades of experience working with C-suite executives and high-potential leaders. A Harvard Business School graduate with a background in consulting and corporate leadership, she brings uncommon credibility to the often-abstract world of coaching, pairing business fluency with deep insight into human behavior, adult development and decision-making under pressure. Her book, Leadership Unblocked - Break Through The Beliefs That Limit Your Potential, distills years of coaching practice into a clear-eyed examination of the unconscious beliefs that quietly constrain leaders, revealing how assumptions about control, certainty, identity and responsibility shape (and often limit) how leaders respond to challenge. Rather than offering tactical fixes or performative confidence, Muriel's work focuses on expanding a leader's capacity to hold complexity, see multiple options and respond with intention rather than reflex. She explores how leaders mature over time, why success can actually stall growth, and how unexamined beliefs turn everyday pressure into unnecessary suffering. Her perspective reframes leadership development as adult development, emphasizing that the ability to lead others sustainably depends on a leader's willingness to do their own internal work. In an era defined by uncertainty, generational shifts and accelerating technology, Muriel's thinking argues for a quieter but more demanding form of leadership... one rooted in self-awareness, discernment and the courage to question one's own mental models before attempting to change anyone else's.

A talk with Jackie Miller, host of the podcast “Out of Crazy Town: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist.” Jackie shares her personal story of escaping a coercively controlling, psychologically abusive marriage—and how that led her to try to help others navigating similar nightmarish situations. We talk about how these relationships evolve from subtle manipulation into abusive domination and control; and we talk about the mind-bending psychology of narcissistic abuse—projection, gaslighting, smear campaigns, and the delusional self-justifications that can make these people nearly impossible to understand. We also talk about why victims often seem “crazy” to outsiders, how abusers weaponize children and the legal system, and why staying calm in the face of harassment can be the most powerful defense.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Emily & Robert Perry sit down with New York Times bestselling author and Sirius XM host John Fugelsang to explore his insightful new book, Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds*. John has spent years unpacking how the teachings of Jesus have been distorted by Christian nationalism—and why reclaiming Jesus' message of love, justice, and human dignity is more urgent than ever. Along the way, there is a reflection on the surprising overlap between John's biblical insights and the message of A Course in Miracles—especially the emphasis on refusing to meet hatred with more hatred. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles.

In this episode, the More Than Roommates team explores what separation actually means, why it so often leads to divorce, when it may be necessary, and how couples can pursue healing and restoration with Biblical wisdom and community.Discussion Questions:1- Why do you think separation so often leads to divorce rather than healing?2- How does selfishness subtly show up in your marriage during hard seasons?3- What role does community currently play in helping you protect and strengthen your marriage?4- How could you better “water your own grass” in this season?Resources:Episode 83 Divorce part 1Episode 84 Divorce part 2Episode 127 Healing from Sexual Abuse Watermark statement on marriage and divorce
What does it mean for Christians to be “set apart”? Biblical separation is often misunderstood as isolation or spiritual superiority, but Scripture presents it as a call to holiness, faithfulness, and love for Christ.In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany continue their Practical Theology series by walking through four specific ways Scripture calls believers to live distinct lives while remaining engaged in the world.What We Discussed02:26 Why Biblical Separation Is Often MisunderstoodScripture calls believers to pursue holiness by dealing honestly with personal sin through repentance and obedience, not excuse or compromise (1 Peter 1:15–16; Romans 6:1–2, 12).05:22 Separation from Personal SinChristians are called to deal honestly with their own sin through repentance, confession, and mortification, not excuses or compromise.08:20 Why Small Sins Are Spiritually DangerousPersonal sin spreads like poison in a well. Even hidden or private sin affects prayer, witness, relationships, and sensitivity to God's Word.09:54 Separation from Unrepentant BelieversScripture teaches that fellowship should be withheld from those who claim Christ yet persist in unrepentant sin, both to protect the church and to call the believer to repentance (1 Corinthians 5:11).12:41 Why the Church Must Take Sin SeriouslyUnaddressed sin spreads within the body like yeast through dough, affecting truth, holiness, and the church's witness (1 Corinthians 5:6).13:42 Separation from False TeachersBelievers are commanded to test teaching against Scripture and separate from those who distort the gospel (1 John 4:1).17:11 How Separation from False Teachers Works PracticallyChristians should not endorse, platform, or partner with ministries that deny Scripture, compromise the gospel, or reject Christ's exclusivity.18:31 Separation from the World SystemScripture calls believers to resist the values and priorities of the world that oppose God, choosing transformation over conformity (1 John 2:15; Romans 12:2).19:43 Set Apart, Not IsolatedBiblical separation does not mean withdrawal from people. It means distinct loves, loyalties, and standards that reflect Christ while remaining engaged and compassionate.Book: Practical Christian Theology: Examining the Great Doctrines of the Faith by Floyd H. Barackman“Biblical separation is not about pride or fear or withdrawing from the world. It's about holiness, faithfulness, and love for the Lord.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

When the holidays end, the noise fades. The distractions disappear. And for many women navigating an unwanted separation or divorce, that is when a different kind of shock sets in. In this episode, we talk about the quiet emotional drop that often follows the holiday season, why January can feel heavier than expected, and how this phase of separation is not a setback but part of the journey itself. If you have been feeling unsettled, numb, or caught off guard by how hard this moment feels, you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!

Separation... isolation... estrangement. They're all part of the old kingdom! When the new King arrived, we found out quickly that He was not like other kings. Not like the fraudulent puppet Herod, certainly. Not like any monarch the world had ever seen. In the kingdom of Jesus, barriers between men and women, between Jews and Gentiles, and even between clean and unclean, would come down. Here's Jim, back in the Gospel of Mark.

Welcome to episode #1018 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a moment when burnout is normalized and productivity is still measured by hours rather than impact, the five-day workweek is starting to look less like a foundation of modern life and more like an outdated design choice. Joe O'Connoris the CEO of Work Time Revolution and one of the world's leading architects of the four-day workweek, having designed and led large-scale pilots across multiple countries, industries and organizational types. His work sits at the intersection of labor economics, organizational culture and performance design, helping companies rethink how work actually gets done in a knowledge-based, AI-accelerated economy. Joe has advised governments, nonprofits and private-sector leaders on how to redesign work in ways that improve employee well-being while maintaining (or increasing) organizational performance, challenging deeply held assumptions about time, output and commitment. His new book, Do More In Four - Why It's Time For A Shorter Workweek (with co-author Jared Lindzon), brings together research, real-world case studies and global experimentation to argue that the five-day workweek is neither inevitable nor optimal. Joe shows how reducing work time can sharpen focus, improve equity and force organizations to confront outdated productivity metrics built for an industrial era. He also examines how AI is accelerating the need for new work models, exposing the inefficiencies of activity-based measurement and pushing leaders to define productivity in terms of outcomes, not presence. Grounded in data yet pragmatic about cultural resistance, Joe's perspective positions the four-day workweek not as an employee concession, but as a competitive advantage for organizations willing to rethink the rules of work before the market forces them to.
