How To Breakthrough in the New Attention EconomyWelcome to another installment of our Future Trends series. Today, we're going deep into the biggest trends influencing communication, publishing, and media.  Listen to hear what tools Kim thinks are best to help use your voice to break through the noise of clickbait, buzzwords, and inauthentic influencers. The Astrological Game-Changers Affecting Communication & PublishingUranus in Gemini (2025–2033):Revolutionary changes in how we express, publish, and connect. Expect the rise of podcasts, digital mediums, and the continual democratisation of media.Jupiter in Cancer:Emotional truth as the new currency of trust. Authenticity and vulnerability become the core of magnetic leadership.Neptune in Aries:Genuine, embodied expression outshines performance. Audiences crave real over scripted.Pluto in Aquarius:Gatekeepers fall away, platforms become more democratized, and self-selection becomes the key to impact.The Shifting World of Publishing and MediaPublishing is no longer just about being seen or "picked" by someone else—it is about activating your own message and leading your audience.Podcasts and digital content now outperform traditional publishing, creating more opportunities for authentic and diverse voices.2 Standout Quotes"Publishing is not the destination, it's the portal. And so I am so excited to be talking to you about this today.""Your voice is not here to wait, it's here to lead."Answers to 3 Key Questions1. How is astrology influencing future trends in publishing and communication?[2:53 - 6:41]Major planetary shifts are causing a revolution in how we communicate, publish, and connect. Uranus in Gemini, Jupiter in Cancer, Neptune in Aries, and Pluto in Aquarius will reshape the media landscape, making it more democratized, authentic, and innovation-driven. This means more opportunity for genuine voices to rise without gatekeepers holding people back. 2. What new strategies should leaders and creators use to stand out in the attention economy?[1:25 - 4:16] Instead of chasing approval or fighting through noise, leaders should focus on resonance—connecting deeply by expressing their unedited truth. Publishing should be seen not as a finish line, but as a dynamic portal for activation. Leaders are encouraged to create living conversations (like podcasts, interactive groups), embrace experimentation, and prioritize authenticity over perfection.3. What are some actionable steps to reclaim and amplify your voice?[9:40 - 10:52]Start by asking powerful questions: What are you not saying that would set you and your audience free? Where have you mistaken silence for strategy? What could you create if you stopped waiting for permission? Try journaling, free-writing, or brainstorming content formats that allow your voice to lead. Your lived experience and truth are the starting points for impactful expression and thought leadership.Take Action – Step Into Your Voice TodayPause and reflect: What message do you feel called to share, even if no one else gives you permission? Journal, experiment, and consider new channels—whether it's a podcast, book, community, or digital series. The universe rewards intentional, authentic action.Stay ConnectedDid this episode spark something in you? Subscribe, rate, and review Your Star Path to Success on your favorite podcast platform.

n this no-frills, no-fluff episode, Brother ha2tim gets surgical with language. Recorded from the Black Cave, not Ghana as originally planned, this message is rooted in clarity, disappointment, and truth.Too often, the term “racist” gives folks room to dodge, deflect, or dilute the harm. But anti-Black? That's direct. That's accurate. That's ours.Ha2tim challenges us to sharpen our words, reclaim our focus, and name the harm exactly as it is.

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

In this special minisode, Cat honors National Teacher Appreciation Day and Mother's Day by sharing heartfelt reflections on the impact teachers and students have on our personal growth.

In this episode of the podcast, Cat dives into the importance of truly listening — not just to the outside world, but to our own thoughts and beliefs. She explains how our brains operate in seasons and how recognizing these patterns can help us navigate personal growth more gracefully. Using the example of political discussions, Cat illustrates that it's often our underlying beliefs, not pure facts, that drive emotional reactions and conflicts. By becoming aware of these beliefs, we can better understand ourselves and others.Cat also stresses the importance of tuning into our bodies, paying attention to what they need, and honoring those signals as part of a holistic approach to well-being. As part of her "Mind Over May" initiative, she challenges listeners to set a meaningful personal goal and make a firm commitment to pursuing it, emphasizing the power of small, intentional actions over time. She concludes the episode by inviting everyone to share their goals and to participate in her upcoming "Speak Truth to Live" summit, a gathering designed to inspire authenticity, courage, and personal transformation.  Support the showConnect with me in the following ways:www.theadventureparadox.com FacebookInstagramcatcaldwellmyers@gmail.com

Long before press freedom indexes were even conceived, the Urdu newspaper Pratap was speaking truth to power in undivided India — and paying a heavy price for it. Launched in 1919, Pratap quickly ran afoul of the British Raj but remained defiantly independent.After independence, its legacy continued with the launch of Vir Pratap, its Hindi successor. But how fearless did these publications remain after independence?This week, host Sandip Roy speaks to Chander Mohan, who served as editor of Vir Pratap for forty years, and his daughter Jyotsna Mohan, a journalist with nearly three decades of experience, to explore the journey and enduring impact of these pioneering publications.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

Softening truth to avoid offense is not a new concept. Paul's words to Timothy call for bold, uncompromising faithfulness to God's Word. Like many pastors and teachers today, Timothy faced the temptation to conform his message to please men—but Paul urges him to stand firm, to preach the truth without fear, and to live out his faith with integrity. God designed pastors to prioritize godliness over worldly approval, to reject speculation in favor of Scripture, and to trust in the authority of God's Word. Let's explore what it means to live and speak boldly for Christ, in a culture that often pushes back.Connect: https://www.wellspringcc.org/connectOnline Giving: https://www.wellspringcc.org/givingAbout Wellspring: https://www.wellspringcc.org/aboutCCLI Copyright License # 1194988CCLI Streaming License # 20224379

Exodus 20 // Justin White

When you think about all the false advertising, fake news, workplace slander, and neighborhood gossip we encounter every day, it's clear we live in a culture of falsehood. But when Jesus “the way, the truth, and the life” transforms our hearts, we can't help but to pour his gracious truth out to others.

The world is standing on the brink…the deepening  impacts of the climate crisis, rising inequality and increasing levels of economic turmoil are affecting us all. But we now face a new threat: a powerful network of autocrats,  billionaires. and demagogues and fossil fuel industry leaders has emerged. This climate crisis denying coalition is weaponising disinformation and  manipulating societal distress and uncertainty in a bid to steer us into the arms of far-right populism and away from the global systems change we need. Mayors, cities, academics, scientists, economists, activists and civil society must step up and form a global axis of resistance to challenge those who threaten our way of life…and ultimately, the very survival of our world.Season 5 of Cities 1.5 returns March 11th, with a new episode every Tuesday after that.

Key Takeaways1. The Foundation—God's Design in CreationGenesis 1:27 – “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”Gender is not a social construct, but a divine ordinance established at creation.Genesis 2 highlights the intentionality in the creation of male and female, reflecting God's image in a complementary way.Marriage (Genesis 2:24) is designed to reflect Christ's relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).Discussion Question:How does this divine design inform the institution of marriage?2. The Fall and the Distortion of Gender RolesGenesis 3:16 – The consequences of sin led to a distortion of gender roles, leading to dysfunction in relationships.The Fall introduced brokenness into gender dynamics—struggles for control, passivity, and domination.Instead of complementing each other, men and women often experience conflict in their roles.Discussion Question:How does Jesus redeem and restore gender roles?Answer: The Gospel restores what was lost! In Christ:Men and women find their true identity in alignment with God's will.Ephesians 5:22-33 calls husbands to love sacrificially and wives to respect—not about hierarchy, but servanthood and love.3. Cultural Challenges and the Church's ResponseToday's culture views gender as fluid and self-defined, often detached from biblical truth.The Church must stand firm on biblical gender identity while engaging with compassion.Practical Ways to Uphold Biblical Gender Roles:Teach & Model biblical marriage in homes and churches.Support & Disciple men and women in their God-given roles.Speak Truth in Love—grace-filled cultural engagement.Pray for a revival of biblical truth in our world.Closing EncouragementQ: What encouragement would you offer to those struggling with gender identity?A: God's design is good and for our joy. If you're struggling:Seek God's truth in His Word.Connect with a biblical community.Trust Christ's power to restore what is broken.Final Thoughts & Call to ActionLoved this episode? Don't forget to:Subscribe to the Chasing Elephants PodcastShare this episode with othersContinue standing on God's truth with grace and loveUntil next time, keep seeking biblical wisdom in a culture full of shifting perspectives.

Sermon on Luke 7:18-35. This is the sixth sermon in our Epiphany sermon series called One with Authority.Jesus distinguished himself as a rabbi by teaching as "one with authority." What does Jesus have authority over? This sermon series will explore the various aspects of human life that Jesus reigns over. In each facet of Jesus' authority, we can learn how Jesus is working to form and transform us into people like him.In this sermon, we explore how Jesus speaks truth that we need to hear to draw us closer to God.

As we continue to discern whether the prophetic voices promoting Christian Nationalism are speaking God's heart and God's kingdom priorities, it is important to take a look at what the prophets were doing and saying in the Bible. We don't have to look very far to see that they were not political "yes-men" but regularly challenged religious and political leadership for their idolatry and neglect of the poor. What can that tell us about what we are seeing in Christian Nationalism? Let's take a look.On a separate note, if you are interested in registering for the upcoming Dunamis Essentials #4: The Healing Ministry of Jesus, you can go here. https://www.prmi.org/event/dunamis-essentials-4-the-healing-ministry-of-jesus-online-2025/If you have any issues in getting registered, contact our registrar, Al Kester, at organickester@gmail.com 

Trending with Timmerie just delivered some fantastic updates on the gender debate: and there’s hope on the horizon! Timmerie is buzzing about how the conversation around gender is shifting across the U.S., even in places like California (yes, California!). Parents’ rights, teachers’ freedoms, and the truth about our God-given identity as male and female are gaining traction. The Big Deal in California: Mirabelli v. Olson There’s a HUGE court case brewing in California that could change the game for everyone. Mirabelli v. Olson challenges policies that force teachers to keep parents in the dark if their child is struggling with gender dysphoria or questioning their identity. Yes, this is a thing: teachers are actually being told to lie to parents. BUT here’s the good news: District Court Judge Roger Benitez (a total rockstar) is standing up for parents’ rights. He’s made it crystal clear that teachers don’t have to follow these deceitful policies. Judge Benitez even said that parents have a constitutional right to know what’s going on with their child because they are the primary caretakers. He called out these policies as a violation of the First Amendment. Why This Matters This isn’t just a win for California. If this case makes waves, it could influence similar situations across the country. It’s part of a growing movement that’s challenging the idea that kids have more privacy rights than parents, especially when it comes to life-altering decisions like gender identity. What’s the Catholic Take? We know the truth of male and female as created by God (Genesis 1:27). Timmerie is encouraging us not to back down or shy away from sharing the truth about gender. It’s about lovingly helping kids embrace their God-given identity, while holding schools accountable to respect parental authority and behave lawfully. Other Encouraging Signs Timmerie also mentioned similar movements happening in Ohio and other states. It’s clear: people are waking up to the reality that this whole gender ideology experiment isn’t working. Families are uniting, laws are being challenged, and truth is making a comeback. Be Encouraged! Speak Truth! Timmerie gave you a call to action: Don’t be afraid to speak the truth about gender, even if it feels like you’re the only one. Guess what? You’re not. There are so many people (even in unlikely places) who agree with the beauty and truth of male and female but just aren’t vocal yet. You could make the difference! Final Thought: Stay hopeful, stay prayerful, and keep fighting for the truth. This is a battle worth fighting: not just for our kids, but for the future of a culture rooted in God’s design. “The truth will set you free.” —John 8:32 Let’s keep the momentum going.

In "Speak Truth To Power," special guest speaker Pastor Andrew Sedra shares a powerful message from the book of Jeremiah, reflecting on his experiences with the COVID lockdowns in Australia under a socialist government. He recounts the challenges faced by himself, his family, and his church, urging Americans to utilize their freedom of speech to reignite the flames of liberty and religious freedom that are foundational to the country. Pastor Sedra calls on believers to follow the example of biblical prophets who confronted their leaders, emphasizing that the truth found in Scripture is the only force capable of transforming the world.Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
