Jesus explicitly tells His disciples of His coming suffering, death, and resurrection for a third time. Even as He reveals more details about what will happen, the disciples' misunderstanding only grows. James and John, along with their mother, ask Jesus for positions of worldly greatness. Jesus' answer begins to reveal that the true greatness of His kingdom is found in the cross. When all the disciples join in misunderstanding, Jesus teaches them that life in His kingdom is great by way of service to others. This is true because of who Jesus is. He has served us sinners by sacrificing His life in place of ours. Rev. Andy Jagow, pastor at Bethany Lutheran Church in Alexandria, VA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 20:17-28. To learn more about Bethany Lutheran, visit bethany-lcms.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

Despite gains in recent years, Black, Hispanic, and Asian communities are still under-represented in the U.S. nursing workforce. We're going to explore that gap and how to close it on this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier with Dr. Ernest Grant, Vice Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at the Duke University School of Nursing. "You get a patient who is more compliant when they see someone who looks like them, who is from their culture and who can advocate on their behalf," he tells host Lindsey Smith. Dr. Grant bases that and other insights on a rich professional background that includes 50 years in nursing, being a leading advocate for his profession and breaking down barriers himself as a male nurse of color and the first man elected president of the American Nurses Association. In this thoughtful conversation, Dr. Grant reflects on what it took to earn credibility in leadership roles, how he's navigating the political climate on DEI initiatives, and the causes and solutions to the persistent shortage in nursing faculty, among other pressing issues. Tune in for a uniquely-informed look at what it will take to build a stronger, more representative nursing profession.

The Mayfair mansion might not have been at the beach, but it sure offered up its fair share of horrors. That's why the final installment in Dinner Partners' Beach House Horrors Month opens with a celebration of a recent illustrated edition of one of Anne Rice's most iconic works, “The Witching Hour”, and a brief look back at what today stands as our beloved Premiere Party Person's most autobiographical novel. After a stroll through the Garden District, the Irish Channel and memory lane, the path returns to the sandy beaches and tragedy of “The Last Party: Death on Tresco”. This true crime series out of the United Kingdom is long on languid cinematography, title cards and inferences. But will it actually shed any light on the tragic death of a handsome young gay man who seemed to have his entire brilliant life ahead of him?

Description- Is superintelligence a few years away, and would we even notice if the systems we built started to matter morally?- Nick Bostrom is the philosopher who put superintelligence on the map. His 2014 book defined the field, and his recent Deep Utopia asks the harder question: what is life for once machines can do everything better than us?- In this episode of Sparks, he tells [Host] that we don't have superintelligence yet but are seeing limited forms of AGI, that frontier labs using AI to accelerate their own research could trigger recursive self-improvement, and that he can no longer rule out timelines of just a few years. He argues the outcome is likely to be either very good or very bad, walks through the three ways it fails, and explains why he now works on problems that only matter over the next 6 to 18 months — philosophy, as he puts it, with a deadline.-We also get into full unemployment as a destination rather than a disaster, what an education system looks like when it isn't producing workers, why suppressing deception in a model makes it more likely to claim consciousness, and why building trust with AI systems now may be a safety measure rather than sentiment.

What if the two words you never meant to say turned out to be the most important words of your life? In this episode, Ryan Lee, founder of Wealth Outside Wall Street and author of Retire in 10 Years or Less, shares how losing most of his net worth in 2008 led him to discover a completely different way of thinking about money. He retired at 34, not because he was rich, but because he had built enough cash flow from 17 rental properties to walk away from a job he never wanted. The moment came when his boss Rob showed up unexpectedly to offer him more territory. Ryan was sitting there mentally counting his cash flow when Rob asked if he was ready. Without thinking, he said "I quit." He spent the next decade teaching over 3,000 people to do the same.

#1019 A 20-year-old flipping burgers at McDonald's decided one random day to build a business from scratch — and by month five, he had over 100,000 social media followers and was turning away customers! In part 1 of this 2-part episode, Bryan Lopez of WashMaxxing shares how he launched his trash bin cleaning business in Houston with just a $150 secondhand pressure washer, no capital, and a door-knocking strategy built on offering free cleanings to prove demand and collect content. He breaks down how he priced his services to avoid looking "cheap," the simple cleaning process that takes as little as 15 minutes per bin, and the social media playbook — consistent short-form posting across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook — that helped him rack up 60,000 followers and 60 million views in his very first month.

Dinner Partners' Beach House Horrors Month serves up a true crime series out of the United Kingdom about which Christopher and Eric knew absolutely nothing before they watched. They weren't even sure where on the global map this posh vacation island actually was by the time they sat down to record this episode. (Actually, it was Eric who was confused. But he owns up to it — very big of him — once Christopher points out the sizeable geographic difference between Sicily and Scilly.) As they serve up the first two episodes of the series “The Last Party: Death on Tresco”, your hosts embark on a long, dark walk with a young gay staff member at a secluded getaway for the superrich and end up surrounded by…title cards. Lots and lots of title cards. Also, cinematography. But will this moody and scenic tribute to the Celtic Sea actually shed any light on this mysterious and tragic death?

You Can Find Ease in the Middle of Hard MomentsIn this episode, we explore the practice of finding ease — not after the hard moment passes, but right in the middle of it. Ease is not comfort. Ease is not the absence of difficulty. Ease is the quiet confidence that says, this is hard, and I am still here.When life gets loud and the weight of everything you are dealing with sits heavy on your chest, you might forget that ease is even possible. But ease is always available to you — not as a destination, but as a practice. It starts small. Drop your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Take one slow breath and extend your exhale. These tiny physical releases create a pocket of space inside you. And that space is where ease lives.This episode offers three practical insights for finding ease in difficulty: how to start in your body rather than your mind, how to stop adding suffering to suffering through self-judgment, and how to distinguish ease from comfort. We close with a grounding breathwork exercise and affirmations to carry with you throughout your day.Key themes: ease, self-compassion, breathwork, letting go of judgment, hard momentsAffirmations from this episode:- I can find ease even in hard moments.- My body knows how to release tension — I just have to let it.- I do not have to add suffering to my suffering.- Ease is not a destination. It is a practice I can return to, anytime.- I honor my experience by making room for it.Timestamps:00:00 — Opening: Ease is possible right here, right now01:30 — Settling In: Ease is not about flipping a switch03:45 — The Theme: Three insights for finding ease in difficulty05:00 — Breathwork: One intentional breath05:45 — Affirmations06:30 — Closing: You deserve the ease you are looking forHashtags:#YouCanFindEase #SelfCompassion #EaseOverStruggle #InnerPeace #MindfulMoments #GentleGuidance #DailyAffirmations #Podcast #Wellness #MentalHealthProduced by Your Quiet Moment — a daily devotional podcast offering gentle guidance, breathwork, and affirmations to help you navigate life with more calm and self-compassion.DISCLAIMER
What if the person who shaped your entire career was someone you met on a soccer pitch at university? In this episode, Kieran Corbett, venture capital professional at StudioVC in New York, shares how a 13-year career in futures trading, a soccer club chairmanship at university, and one chance encounter at an event in New York led him to the second chapter of his career in early-stage venture capital. Kieran grew up watching his brother build Wayflyer, an Irish unicorn, from the inside. He watched a mentor named Kieran Nestor walk into any room and connect with anyone. Those two relationships didn't just shape who Kieran became. They pointed him directly toward the career he is building today.

The Dodo: From Evolutionary Isolation to the Icon of Extinction Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The dodo serves as the primary icon of extinction, a concept that was incomprehensible to the 17th-century religious mind. Evolving on the predator-free island of Mauritius, the flightless dodo was defenseless when Dutch sailors introduced dogs, rats, and monkeys, leading to its disappearance within 80 years. Moss notes that most museum "dodos" are actually models made of chicken feathers and wire, as contemporaries never thought to preserve a species they believed could never vanish. However, the dodo's tragic fate inspired modern successes, such as Carl Jones'work in the 1970s. By using "double clutching" — taking eggs to force a second laying — Jones saved the Mauritiuskestrel from a population of just a dozen birds. This legacy continues today through efforts to make islands predator-free to protect vulnerable seabirds, proving that the dodo's extinction eventually taught humanity the value of active conservation.
