Not to Be Served but to ServeOne of the favorite things to do is listen to children talk about what they want to be when they grow up. “I want to be a teacher!” “I want to be a nurse!” “I want to be a preacher!” “I want to be a professional ball player!” “I want to be a garbage man!” (Yes, I have heard that) I have heard lots of aspirations from the children I have been around. I have seen in their games the imitation of future vocations, and it is a beautiful thing, something we should not take for granted, the fact that our children even dream of a future. But there is one thing I have never heard a child say they aspire to be or even mimic in their play, and that is, “I want to be a servant.”We should not expect that, the image of a servant being one who serves, one who is not their own master, and sort of lives to do the bidding of another, and yet……In our text, Jesus gives the closest thing to a person's mission statement that I can find in the Bible, and he said this: “I came not to be served but to serve….” The Lord of Glory, creator of all that we see, worthy of all glory and adoration, comes not with the trappings of royalty, but with a towel, at the lowest place, washing our dirty feet. Yeah, Jesus sort of turns the values of the world, the things we value the most, on its head and further declares that the way to gut-wrenching joy is not through power and control but through being a servant, through serving the most. Is this even possible? If so, how do we even wrap our imagination around this? Well, this Sunday, I invite you to wrestle with this with me. Interested? Believe me, I get it if you are not, this is too radical, perhaps too costly, and a bridge too far. But if the one we claim to follow says this is the way, we'd best listen up. Hope to see you this Sunday!

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryThe images most people see on Veterans Day tell only half the story. KCat steps to the mic with a heartfelt solo message that blends pride, grit, and a clear challenge to the media and the public: broaden the lens and see the women who served. Drawing on 20 years in the United States Air Force—including the realities of being a single parent in uniform—she shares why representation isn't a favor, it's the truth, and how invisibility shapes who gets honored, heard, and helped.We dig into what service really looks like beyond the montage: leadership forged under pressure, teamwork that outlasts the uniform, and humor that held units together on the hardest days. Cat explains why she created Sisters in Service—to end the wait for recognition by telling the stories ourselves—and highlights the diversity of women veterans whose work often goes unseen: the mechanic with oil-stained hands, the medic who steadied chaos, the pilot who broke ceilings and lifted others, and the mom who deployed and still led with grace. These aren't exceptions; they are the veteran story.You'll hear a direct invitation to parade organizers, newsrooms, and communities to honor all veterans and to stop defaulting to the same faces. And you'll get a personal charge to expand your own picture of a veteran by looking at the women you already know—coworkers, neighbors, leaders—who once wore the uniform. We close with a rallying cry to women veterans to take up space, post their photos, and share their stories. If this message resonates, subscribe, share it with a sister in service, and leave a review so more listeners can find these voices and join the movement.https://www.smallspacepilates.comhttps://www.mysexybusiness.comSupport the show

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Robyn Donaldson. Entrepreneur, Mentor, and Founder of Renew Construction Services & STEM Exposure

War, and the threat of war, spurs governments to invest in secret military technologies and weapons. Imperial Japan, ahead of the Second World War, was no exception. After the First World War, Japan set up the Noborito Research Institute: a division of scientists and technicians to invest in overt and clandestine warfare. Stephen Mercado dives into this history in his new book Japanese Spy Gear and Special Weapons: How Noborito's Scientists and Technicians Served in the Second World War and the Cold War (Pen & Sword Books: 2025). At Noborito, Japanese scientists researched fanciful weapons, like balloon bombs and death rays; covert techniques like poisons and counterfeiting—and more insidious activities, like biological weapons. Stephen Mercado, the author of The Shadow Warriors of Nakano: A History of the Imperial Japanese Army's Elite Intelligence School, has also written a dozen articles and several dozen book reviews on Asian and open-source intelligence. His writing has appeared in the journals Intelligence and National Security, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence, Studies in Intelligence and on the website 38 North of the Henry L. Stimson Center. His translations include numerous declassified Chinese and Japanese diplomatic documents published as part of the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project. Retired from the CIA Open Source Enterprise, he has twice won a CIA Studies in Intelligence award for his writings. He is also a frequent contributor to the Asian Review of Books. You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of Japanese Spy Gear and Special Weapons. Follow on Twitter at @BookReviewsAsia.
