    Pushing Forward with Alycia welcomes award-winning singer, songwriter, actor, writer, and Georgetown Law graduate James Ian, who lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 3. Alycia Anderson and James talk about meeting at New York Fashion Week 2024 during Runway of Dreams and what it meant to see disabled models represented on the runway. James shares how access barriers at Georgetown motivated him toward law school to fight for disability rights, and how experiences performing music—including falling on stage and disclosing his disability—helped him realize he could advocate through art. He also talks about his performance at the DRA Gala (Disability Rights Advocates) in a room that included Hillary Clinton, and discusses the limited opportunities for disabled musicians, widespread venue inaccessibility, and the extra labor of education and advocacy alongside creative work. James details SMA basics, how type 3 has progressed for him, and complications from his cervical stenosis surgery that led to C5 palsy, major loss of arm strength, requiring rehab and forcing him to relearn his body. This episode dives into so much more with reflections on grief, gratitude, learning to accept help and more on his songs including “Spaces,” “Lift Me Up” honoring Judy Heumann, and his collaboration “Unconditional Love” with disabled artist Tap Waters.

    Navigating the wild world of AI and digital spaces is no joke, especially for the church. Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner dives deep into the importance of embodied authority and the need for trust in our communities as we face these tech-driven challenges. It's not just about having a fancy title anymore; it's about being present and relatable. In a world where AI can create convincing imitations of voices and content, knowing your pastor's voice becomes crucial. Think about it—if a controversial video of your pastor popped up online, would you know if it was real or fake? That's where trust comes in, and that trust is built through authentic relationships. Skinner emphasizes that instead of retreating from the digital battlefield, the church should boldly step into this mission field, engaging with the tools available to foster community and discernment. After all, the gospel's authenticity is something algorithms can't replicate, and as church leaders, we need to prepare our communities to navigate this new terrain wisely. So, let's not just survive; let's thrive in this digital age by building resilient communities that embody love and support.TakeawaysThe church must respond to digital challenges with clarity and trust.Embodied authority is crucial in a world where reality can be faked.Adaptive leadership is necessary for navigating the next decade.Digital environments shape our perceptions and realities.Authority now comes from trust and presence, not just titles.Discipleship includes teaching discernment in a digital age.The church should not withdraw from digital mission fields.Building resilient communities is essential for trust.Technology can isolate, but the church offers relational abundance.The gospel's authenticity cannot be simulated by algorithms.Navigating the wild world of AI and digital spaces is no joke, especially for the church.

    Church buildings don't just house Christians—they are built to facilitate so much more—each building quietly tells a story about what your church values. Long before a word is preached, the space itself establishes the way in which people will engage—how people understand authority, worship, and the mission. For each denomination, and each tradition the building guides believers to better understand their theology in different ways. From persecuted Anabaptists meeting in homes and fields, to simple Baptist meetinghouses in the New World, to revival-era preaching spaces, suburban church complexes, and today's eclectic mix of megachurches, old buildings and minimalist spaces—by examining what Baptists have built—we ask a foundational question for today: what do our meeting spaces say about what we believe, prioritize and whether our buildings still serve the mission they were meant to support?In today's episode of the Postscript, I'm joined by Dr. David Bains, professor at Howard College of Arts and Sciences at Samford University. Dr. Bains teaches courses that examine the interaction between theology, culture and religious life. His research has appeared in over a dozen books and journals. Today we hope that Dr. Bains will help us better understand the correlation between the historic Baptist mission and the buildings in which they met.For more information, please follow the link to read the notes for Ep. 260Visit https://magiccityreligion.org/spaces-for-worship/varieties/classic-auditorium/combination/ to see a recent project of Dr. Bains.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore

    Kitchen Revolution: Elevating Kitchens and Baths for Lifestyle, Wellness, and Technology. Designers and innovators discuss how kitchens and bathrooms have transformed into lifestyle-focused, wellness-oriented, and tech-savvy spaces, shaping the homes of today's discerning clients. From pandemic-driven shifts to smart appliances, spa-like bathrooms, and open-concept living, this panel explores the evolving demands of homeowners and the strategies designers use to balance aesthetics, function, and innovation. 1. Introduction Host Virzine Hovasapyan, Experience Director of Marketplace of Innovation for Pacific Sales, introduces the panel and sets the stage: kitchens and baths are no longer purely functional—they are deeply personal lifestyle environments. Emphasis on the convergence of beauty, comfort, and smart technology to meet wellness-focused and tech-savvy client needs. 2. Panel Introductions Karen Rideau, Kitchen Design Group: three decades of experience, expanding from kitchen and bath to full interior architecture. Holly Hollenbeck, HSH Interiors: bi-coastal firm specializing in remodels and new builds, high focus on kitchen and bath. Lori Hafele, Hafele Design: luxury cabinetry-focused design, hard surfaces specialist. Pam Barthold, Poziom Designs: national remodels, holiday decor focus, wellness integration. 3. Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Shifts Kitchens evolving into living spaces for family interaction and entertaining. Movement from segmented to open-plan living; the kitchen is now the “heart of the home.” Rise of furniture-like cabinetry and hidden storage to maintain aesthetic beauty. 4. Collaboration Between Designers and Showrooms Importance of collaboration between designers, manufacturers, and showrooms. Need for continuous education on appliance and technology innovations (steam ovens, microwaves/air fryers, modular units). Designers as knowledge bridges for clients. 5. Wellness in Kitchen and Bath Bathrooms now spa-like: steam showers, infrared saunas, cold plunges. Kitchens adapting for wellness-conscious lifestyles: beverage centers, accessible hot water, herb gardens, indoor/outdoor cooking integration. Efficiency for tech-savvy clients: proximity solutions, outdoor entertaining, smart layout adjustments. 6. Technology Integration Challenges of over-technology vs. simplicity: balancing clients' desire for tech with usability. AI and digital inspiration may introduce non-buildable concepts; designers interpret and adapt. Circuit breaker capacity and smart appliance integration considerations. Strategies to educate clients and ensure the right technology fits their lifestyle. 7. Translating Client Dreams into Practical Design Process includes space planning, 3D renderings, vendor collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Importance of editing ideas to fit space and budget. Budget discussions start early; expectations around pricing, lead times, and custom millwork. 8. Setting Expectations & Discovery Use of robust client questionnaires to uncover lifestyle, wellness, and usage patterns. Managing timelines, trades, and supply chain realities. Addressing dual-client decision-making and educating clients on care and maintenance of appliances and materials. 9. Audience Q&A Highlights Managing open-plan kitchens and sound/visual separation through back kitchens, secondary prep spaces, and innovative layouts. 10. Key Takeaways Kitchens and bathrooms are now multifunctional lifestyle spaces, blending aesthetics, wellness, and technology. Collaboration, client discovery, and education are critical for successful design. Designers balance aspirational visions with practical realities to deliver functional, beautiful, and personalized homes.

    It's been a whirlwind of a week for Dublin nightlife enjoyers. Last Friday, it was reported that newly refurbished Dublin hotel The Hoxton (formerly The Central Hotel) sought an High Court injunction over noise bleed issues against its adjoining late night restaurant and night club space Yamamori Izakaya while it plans to open its own nightclub. Both parties are in disagreement over what has taken place in attempts at dialogue. In the meantime, a protest took place last night outside the hotel, which showed people's clear frustration with the threats put upon Dublin's cultural and arts spaces. Dublin folk musician and People Before Profit Dublin Central candidate Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin spoke at the protest last night, and was part of a Stand Up For The Arts public meeting in The Cobblestone afterwards. Eoghan spoke to me about the broader implications of government policies that prioritise corporate interests over cultural preservation, he emphasises the need for grassroots movements to protect and advocate for the arts. The chat highlights the importance of community engagement, the untapped potential of publicly funded cultural venues and the recent failure of the government to save The Complex.

    It's Tuesday, February 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed 90,000 Nigerians displaced due to Islamic violence More than 90,000 Catholic Nigerians have been displaced in the Southern Taraba State since September 2025, reports International Christian Concern. According to the Catholic Diocese of Wukari, over 100 people have been killed and thousands more wounded in that same time frame. U.S. funds United Nations, Dept of Ed, and Nat'l Institutes of Health The Trump administration is still funding the United Nations.  President Donald Trump approved another $3 billion dollars to the international organization in early February, according to Reuters.  The U.S. has averaged $2.5 billion dollars of funding each year for the United Nations, over the last twenty years.  America joined the United Nations back in 1945, and is its largest donor.  And, despite vowing to close down the U.S. Department of Education during his campaign, the president has signed a government funding bill that will jack up the Education Department budget 2025 levels by $217 million for a total of $79 billion. That's $12 billion more than the administration's original request. Plus, the National Institutes of Health gets another increase of $415 million over Fiscal Year 2025. In total, $48.7 billion of taxpayer money will keep this bureaucracy alive and flourishing. Republican states take action to cut property taxes Several Republican-majority states are working to reduce and eliminate property taxes for citizens. North Dakota, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, and Texas have made progress. Plus, Tennesseans will consider a ballot measure this November to eliminate the property tax. Several states are also working to trim or fully end state income taxes, with nine states having zero income tax in 2026.  One-third of young women call themselves homosexual or transgender The Gallup polling organization released new numbers on Americans identifying with a list of sexual perversions.   Now, 9% of U.S. adults call themselves sexually perverted, up from 7% in 2023, and 3.5% in 2012. The increase has occurred with the younger generation primarily. Now, almost a quarter of 20-somethings and roughly one-third of young women call themselves homosexual or transgender. Also, 10% of the 30 to 49-year-olds claim these perverse identities. Transgender murderers kill at 10 times rate of general population As The Worldview reported on February 12, the mass murderer held responsible for perpetrating Canada's worst school shooting in recent history was a man pretending to be a woman, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Jesse Van Rootselaar killed his mother and seven others, and wounded 27, before killing himself in the massacre in a remote town in British Columbia. Another man pretending to be a woman, Robert Westman, was the perpetrator at the Annunciation Catholic School shooting last August. At least five other mass-casualty shootings are attributed to men and women attempting to change their gender. That includes the Aberdeen, Maryland Rite Aid shooting, the STEM School killings in Denver, Colorado, the Club Q massacre in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the Covenant School massacre in Nashville, Tennessee. Also, the Iowa Perry High School perpetrator appeared to be pushing the transgender agenda. A recent study from National Review found that transgender suspects participate in mass shootings at a rate of 10 times that of the rest of the population. Alabama's Governor signs Child Predator Death Penalty Act Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed the Child Predator Death Penalty Act into law late last week, reports WVTM13.  This law assigns the death penalty to crimes of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, and first-degree sexual assault of victims under age 12. Biblical law assigns a serious penalty to those who kidnap or seize people against their will. Exodus 21:16 says, “Now one who kidnaps someone, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall certainly be put to death.” Kansas governor vetoes law to keep boys out of girls spaces Kansas Democratic Governor Laura Kelly  vetoed a bill passed by the Kansas legislature that would have kept biological males out of women's bathrooms.  The bill would have prosecuted any men, pretending to be women, who trespass in women's spaces, on repeated offenses. Hopefully, the state legislature will override the veto, given that the Republican Party holds a two-thirds majority in both houses.   So far, 20 states have passed laws that ban men from invading women's spaces. Proverbs 17:13 reminds us, “Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.” Puerto Rico affirms value of human life from conception Puerto Rico Governor Jenniffer González-Colón  signed a bill that affirms the humanity and dignity of an unborn child, from the moment of conception.   Governor González-Colón said the bill “classifies as first-degree murder the intentional and knowing killing of a pregnant woman, resulting in the death of the unborn child at any stage of gestation within the mother's womb.” This was passed mainly for purposes of homicide and criminal law. While this personhood law does not automatically ban abortion outright in Puerto Rico, pro-lifers are hopeful it will pave the way for future legal protections of unborn babies. 47% of Americans think visitors from other planets have visited Earth  (theme from the movie E.T.) Interest in extraterrestrials and UFOs is at an all-time high in the United States. A “Yougov” survey found 47% of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth. Former President Barack Obama says ET's probably exist. But he clarified on Instagram that, “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us.” Pokemon card sells for $16 million And finally, a trading card has netted the highest private sale amount in history.  A Pokeman card took in over $16 million over the weekend. That beats the last world record sale of a 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card, which sold for $12.6 million in 2022. There were only 41 of this particular Pokemon card produced in 1998. That compares to 75 billion Pokemon cards printed in 2025. Pokeman is a game wherein the players play-act the harnessing of the power wielded by demons or monsters.

Extra print stories United States military strikes ISIS in Syria The US military conducted strikes on more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria since the beginning of February.  According to US Central Command, or CENTCOM, the attacks "struck ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage targets with precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft." CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper said, “Striking these targets demonstrates our continued focus and resolve for preventing an ISIS resurgence in Syria. Operating in coordination with coalition and partner forces to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS makes America, the region and the world safer."  More than 50 ISIS terrorists have reportedly been killed in the past couple of months by the United States military. Tensions remain high between the US and the Middle East, with all eyes on potential military action in Iran.  US House passes SAVE Act The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act requiring those who vote in American elections to provide proof of citizenship. The bill passed 218-213, with every House Republican voting in favor of the measure. Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar also crossed the aisle to vote for the law. The law is touted by Republicans as a simple way to secure American elections and to eliminate cheating and foreign influence. Americans also overwhelmingly favor the requirement of a photo ID to cast a vote. However, the bill faces a hard road in the Senate, with Republicans holding only 53 seats, but needing 60 votes to pass the SAVE Act.

    Church planting involves people, prayer, and the teaching of God's word—but sooner or later—every church planter runs headlong into a very practical question: where do we actually gather? In a city like London, that question isn't a footnote—it's a weekly dilemma. Do you invite strangers into your home, or relegate meetings to public spaces until trust is built? When does a Bible study become a church family, and what kind of space helps that happen? And what do you do when historic church buildings are closing, but you've been priced out? Today's conversation is about that tension: staying faithful to evangelism and discipleship while navigating a city where “space” is scarce, expensive, but important.Our guest is Brian Clark, an experienced church planter who previously planted a church in London in the Chislehurst area—and by God's grace, that work is now healthy and autonomous. Brian and his family are now stepping out to plant a second church, but even with experience and a deep knowledge of the city, he's facing fresh uncertainties: how to build fellowship, how to move from street evangelism to intimate community, and how to think creatively about meeting spaces when traditional options feel out of reach.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

    Eighteen years in, and we're still in the middle of reinvention. From starting Hilliard Studio Method in borrowed spaces to navigating real estate pressure and big-city change, this conversation gets honest about what it takes to build a business rooted in community; not ego or profit. We talk about aging without apology, trusting yourself when the noise gets loud, and why protecting the people who make your business what it is will always come first. If you're building something from the heart and refusing to let fear run the show, this one's for you.   Local Charlotte Businesses You Can Support: Supperland – A Plaza Midwood restaurant in a restored church, run by Jeff Tonidandel & Jamie Brown, who invest in community and historic preservation Laurel Market – A beloved neighborhood deli and market with decades of Charlotte history, now entering a new chapter as it relocates after 35+ years Bond Street Wines – A local wine shop and tasting room that brings people together over thoughtfully curated bottles and community events   3 Truths About Building a Community-Driven Business: Lead with impact first, and let the money catch up. The strongest businesses aren't built by chasing profit; they're built by solving real problems for real people. When your work genuinely improves lives, financial success becomes a byproduct, not the goal. Reinvention is part of longevity, not a sign of failure. Every long-lasting business will be forced to evolve, by aging, markets, or circumstances beyond your control. The key isn't avoiding change, but adapting without abandoning the values that made your business matter in the first place. Community doesn't live in a building, it lives in trust.

    This week, Jason is joined by two people who have grown in this space together and are now building life side by side in the business and personally,  Giannina Gibelli and Blake Horstmann!You know Giannina from Netflix's Love is Blind and Blake from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, but what's really exciting is the chapter they're in right now. They are parents, got engaged, planning a wedding and recently started co-hosting different and together, which means they're not just sharing a life, but sharing ideas, goals, and building something as a team. Blake and Giannina open up about what getting engaged looked like after becoming pregnant, how Blake chose the ring (and the conversation around diamonds vs. lab-grown), and how their spending habits have evolved over the years. Giannina shares how motherhood has reshaped her content and brand partnerships, including behind-the-scenes insight into some of their biggest deals, the noise that comes with the mom-content space, and how they protect their peace—and their child. They also dive into the financial realities of having a baby, talking money in therapy, Blake's loyalty to Southwest Airlines, the time, energy, and investment poured into their home, and why the nightclub industry is currently struggling. From navigating the “love tax” when booking wedding vendors to refusing to compromise on what they truly want (with a little girl math sprinkled in), they reflect on what the future holds in entertainment—and the advice they'd give their younger selves.Blake and Giannina reveal all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Giannina Gibelli & Blake Horstmann Stay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the Group All Access: Free 30-Day Trial Trading Secrets Steals & Deals!Square:With Square, you get all the tools to run your business, with none of the contracts or complexity.
