Michael Bethany was leading worship, building wells in Sri Lanka, writing songs, and serving the church—but something was missing. Then in 2017, he watched a Francis Chan YouTube video about Isaiah 6. And everything changed. That night, he felt guilty praying from his bed. He got on his knees, humbled himself, and started waking up 1.5 hours earlier for a daily prayer closet—even though he "didn't know how to pray that long." What happened next reshaped his entire ministry. In this powerful conversation, Michael shares: ✅ Why intimacy with God is the ENGINE for mission (not the other way around) ✅ The teenager moment when he spontaneously sang "Holy" and everything shifted ✅ How getting tricked into a Sri Lanka missions trip changed his relationship with music ✅ Why "you don't have enough energy to change the world without intimacy with the Lord" ✅ The #1 reason worship leaders get fired (hint: it's not musical ability) If you're running on fumes, trying to lead well while feeling distant from God—this episode will recalibrate everything.

In this episode of the show, Jamie and Stu look back at Day 19 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, which saw the Black Caps of New Zealand take on the hosts of Sri Lanka. They also look ahead to a day with massive implications in Group 1 of the Super 8s, on which South Africa meets the West Indies and India & Zimbabwe look to bounce back after difficult losses. We start the show with a quick summary of Jamie's thoughts about England becoming the first side to qualify for the semi-finals, before diving deep into a big win for the Black Caps - and the nervy moments along the way. After being sent in to bat, Rachin Ravindra and Glenn Phillips were building a partnership, before a flurry of wickets from Chameera, Theekshana and Wellalage sent New Zealand spiralling from 75-2 to 84-6. Things were looking dicey for Black Caps fans, but after a slow start, Mitchell Santner and Cole McConchie - into the side in place of Jimmy Neesham - roared to the finish, taking 70 off the final 4 overs of the innings. Then, with ball in hand, Matt Henry gave New Zealand the perfect start, ripping through Pathum Nissanka, and he was backed up by 17 overs of spin that put the squeeze on Sri Lanka - highlighted by Rachin Ravindra's four-wicket haul. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to what shapes as a huge day for all the sides in Group 1. Will Keshav Maharaj be able to tame the batting power of the West Indies? And which of India or Zimbabwe will keep their World Cup dreams alive heading into the final Super 8 fixtures?

Someone is listening to the Top Order Podcast. Binksy has been calling for more opportunity for Harry Brook - he was elevated to number three in this Super 8 clash against Pakistan and delivered a fine century as England chased down 164. It wasn't without a few nervous moments as late wickets triggered a little bit of a wobble. There are a few nitpicks and work-ons for England going forward, but Baldy and Binksy were impressed with the tactical changes and adjustments that England are making on the fly with their bowling in this tournament. If their batters can do the same the sky is the limit for England. For Pakistan they have it all to do - their encounter with Sri Lanka is a must win and they rely on New Zealand losing tonight against Sri Lanka and/or against England to end Super 8 play to have a chance of progressing. What will they need to change? Again it's the strike rate conversation with Babar Azam coming under the microscope as he walks the fine line between holding the innings together and pushing the strike rate forward. Tonight's clash between New Zealand and Sri Lanka will be a battle of two different batting groups. NZ's batters were great in the group stage while the SL batters are now under pressure. Can SL bounce back against a New Zealand attack that could be back at full strength? Will we see Ish Sodhi feature? NZ have plenty of spin options at the disposal. For SL - they need a rollicking good start against the likes of Henry and Ferguson to get them on the front foot in the power play.

In this episode of The Cricket Podcast we break down the massive T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 upsets that have blown Group 1 wide open. First, we analyse how South Africa ended India's 12-match winning streak in a dominant 76-run victory in Ahmedabad. Was it David Miller's explosive 63 or a rare failure from the Indian top order? We dive deep into the India vs South Africa highlights to see if the Proteas have finally found the formula to win big ICC trophies. Next, we ask the burning question: Are England back? After a clinical 51-run win over Sri Lanka in Pallekele, Harry Brook's side looks like a serious contender again. We review Will Jacks' game-changing bowling performance and discuss whether England's aggressive style will hold up against Pakistan's spinners in the next round. Plus, we cover the fallout of the Pakistan vs New Zealand rain-out and what the current T20 World Cup points table means for semi-final qualification scenarios. Can India recover their Net Run Rate, or is a shock exit on the cards? Want to create live streams like this?

Daniel Norcross is alongside 2017 World Cup winner Alex Hartley for reaction to England's victory over Sri Lanka. They discuss England's bowling performance after they got Sri Lanka all out for just 95 runs. Plus, Phil Salt reflects on his half-century which helped steer England to 146.
A bowler dominated Sunday as the meaningful part of the T20 World Cup - the Super 8s - gets underway. Simon Hughes and former Indian batsman Deep Dasgupta assess how India allowed South Africa to make 187 after being 20-3 and then collapsed to 111 all out themselves. And in Pallekele, England stumbled to 146-9 with Jos Buttler again looking woefully indecisive, but then bowled Sri Lanka out for a paltry 95.

How did England win that game by such a large margin? Can they continue to get away with playing badly and winning or will it eventually come back to bite them? Should Phil Salt have received the player of the match award rather than Will Jacks? How bad were Sri Lanka? Would England rather play India in the semi final or final?

The first two days of the Super 8s are in the books - and aside from the frustrating rain-affected NR between Pakistan and New Zealand there has been some epic results. After an historic T20 WC winning streak India will be primed for a comeback after falling to South Africa to throw Group 1 wide open. The middle order for South Africa were outstanding, and while both teams lost wickets in the Powerplay, it was the South Africans that built better momentum through the middle. Just how important will that 20-odd runs in the final over from Stubbs be in the net-run-rate stakes? India versus the West Indies now shapes as a must-win quarter-final for India. They have the firepower but will need to build back their momentum. Speaking of momentum, the loss to Zimbabwe in group play clearly affected Sri Lanka in their heavy loss overnight to England. Despite injuries their bowlers stood tall to restrict England to a gettable total. England's spinners had other ideas though and the spin trio of Jacks, Dawson, and Rashid powered England to a convincing win. Sri Lanka are pushing now to make the knockouts and will need a bounce back performance to keep their tournament hopes alive.

A clunky campaign rife with injuries and selection headaches has seen Australia miss the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup. Earlier losses to Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe resigned the team to a group stage exit. Our Australia Correspondent Adam Peacock joined Piney to unpack their early exit, a record Winter Olympics haul, and what we can expect from the Matildas ahead of the Asian Cup.

In this February 20 episode of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down the controversy surrounding the new executive order addressing glyphosate and elemental phosphorus under the Defense Production Act. They examine claims about immunity for Bayer, clarify what the order actually does, and discuss why glyphosate has become so embedded in the U.S. food system that an immediate ban could devastate farmers and spike food prices. The hosts reference Sri Lanka's failed nationwide organic experiment, RFK Jr.'s comments calling America's food system “chemical warfare,” and the broader tension between reform and food security. They also expose the flaws in the GRAS system, which allows food companies to self-certify ingredients as safe, and highlight alarming obesity and malnutrition trends in the U.S. Finally, they address the rapidly aging farmer population, rising farm bankruptcies, and structural issues making agriculture less viable for the next generation.
The Black Caps start the Super 8 stage of the Cricket T20 World Cup against Pakistan on Sunday. After playing the first part of the tournament in India the team has now moved to Sri Lanka to play three more matches. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke with Lisa Owen.
Hiii Mossies & Mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence. This week we took a moment to marvel at how lucky we are to be living in a place that is the very epitome of urban planning with smooth roads, bountiful parks, perfect air and the MOST comfortable public transport system. Is there even a place that could compete? We think not. That's right, this is an episode on all that Mumbai offers us. We talk about Indians and our civic sense, the ever-concerning AQI, construction noise, and Naina's determined quest to see a butterfly in the city. We also dive into Tu Ya Main's crocodile-infested scuba pool and discuss Shanaya Kapoor's flawed understanding of the influencer life. Sakshi takes us on a detour with a breakdown of her trip to Sri Lanka and then we make a small game of choosing between bad public facilities and particularly bad boyfriends.

Legendary Australia opener Matthew Hayden joins Daniel Norcross and Aatif Nawaz at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium just days after the Aussies' defeat to Sri Lanka to give his damning indictment on the team's elimination from the T20 World Cup.
In this episode of The Grade Cricketer, we pick through the wreckage of the most chaotic week in international cricket as Australia crash and burn in the T20 World Cup group stage. While the Baggy Greens pack their bags after a defeat to Sri Lanka and the awesome Nissanka, the focus shifts to the subcontinental powerhouses making noise in the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. We dissect India's clinical run to the Super 8s, headlined by a bowling unit that looks absolutely unplayable on these Sri Lankan and Indian decks. Can anyone actually stop the Men in Blue on home soil, or is the pressure of the Narendra Modi Stadium final already looming too large? But the real story of the fans belongs to Nepal. We recap the ‘Rhinos' and their incredible atmospheric presence, breaking down their key moments and the passion of a fanbase that has truly taken over the tournament. From Kathmandu to Colombo, the Nepal cricket rise is no longer a fairy tale—it's a warning to the elite. Want to create live streams like this?

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at Day 12 of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, which featured three games: India v Netherlands, Pakistan v Namibia and South Africa v UAE. We start the show by discussing the tournament favourites, India, and their final pool match against the Netherlands. Abhishek Sharma fell early again, but starts from the rest of the top order were iced by a big contribution from Shivam Dube, who continues to be an unsung hero for India. The Netherlands batters played some quality shots during the chase, but it was Varun Chakravarthy who starred for India with the ball and helped seal a 12th consecutive T20 World Cup victory. The second game of the day saw Pakistan taking on Namibia in Colombo, with Super 8 qualification on the line. But there was barely a nervous moment as a Sahibzada Farhan hundred powered Pakistan close to 200, and then the spinners took charge with the ball - Shadab Khan and Usman Tariq in particular among the wickets. South Africa made four changes to their side, but still finished off their pool play with a comfortable win against the UAE. Corbin Bosch and George Linde were in the wickets as the Proteas put the squeeze on - bowling 53 dot balls across the innings as the UAE reached 122-6. That score was never going to be enough, and South Africa eased to the total without too much trouble. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to Day 13, which sees the West Indies v Italy, Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe and Afghanistan & Canada finish up their 2026 T20 World Cup journey. There's also a brief recap of the Super 8 qualifiers as the next phase is nearly here. We'll be back in your feed again tomorrow with the next instalment of our T20 World Cup coverage.

Pendant longtemps, Thomas Cadorin n'a pas remis en question son histoire. Il savait qu'il avait été adopté au Sri Lanka, qu'il avait grandi en France dans une famille aimante, qu'il n'avait manqué de rien. Une enfance heureuse, protégée. Et pourtant, à l'adolescence, quelque chose se dérègle. Une tristesse persistante, une colère diffuse, sans cause clairement identifiée.En 2019, tout bascule. Un soir, presque par hasard, Thomas regarde un reportage d'Envoyé spécial consacré aux enfants volés au Sri Lanka dans les années 1980. Très vite, il comprend que ce qu'il voit à l'écran le concerne directement. Les noms, les lieux, les mécanismes décrits correspondent à son propre dossier. Il découvre alors qu'il a été victime d'un trafic de bébés, arraché à sa mère biologique à l'âge d'un jour.Commence une enquête personnelle, faite de recherches administratives, de tests ADN et de rencontres décisives. Un chemin long et souvent éprouvant, qui le conduira jusqu'au Sri Lanka, puis à la rencontre de sa mère biologique, trente-cinq ans après leur séparation.Dans cet épisode de Beau Voyage, qui nous a bouleversé, Thomas raconte cette quête d'identité, les conséquences invisibles de l'adoption, le déracinement, et ce que signifie, à l'âge adulte, retourner dans son pays de naissance.***Ce mois-ci le podcast est soutenu par la marque Rosemood, un atelier de papeterie personnalisé qui confectionne les plus beaux albums de photos !

When Visaka Dharmadasa’s soldier son was kidnapped by the fearsome Tamil Tigers in the midst of Sri Lanka’s bitter civil war, she couldn’t find anyone who could help find him - or the 608 other soldiers who had been taken the same night. So Visaka transformed herself, first into a fighter against the bureaucracy of the Sri Lankan government and the Red Cross, and then into a fearsome peace activist. Defying warnings, she crosses into Tamil Tiger territory and sits down with some of the terrorist group’s most notorious leaders, appealing to their humanity as a mother. And eventually, they listen.

When the history of this moment is written, Minneapolis may take its place alongside Selma, Stonewall, and Harper's Ferry—a name synonymous with resistance. In this episode, Matthew Taylor and Susie Hayward return to American Unexceptionalism to reflect on what has unfolded in the Twin Cities over the past two months: mass ICE deployments, escalating authoritarian tactics, and a powerful, community-rooted response. Drawing from the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, they explore what frontline resistance looks like in real time, how religious leaders have stepped into both pastoral and prophetic roles, and why this moment feels like the full activation of both Trump-era authoritarian impulses and an American resistance movement finding its footing. This conversation serves as a postlude—and a reckoning—with the themes of American Unexceptionalism. Lessons once drawn from Sri Lanka, South Korea, Brazil, and beyond are now being lived out at home, faster and more intensely than expected. Taylor and Hayward unpack why Minneapolis became the flashpoint, how multifaith and multigenerational organizing has changed the terrain, and what these experiences can teach communities across the country preparing for what may come next. The message is urgent and clear: what's happening in Minneapolis is coming for the rest of America—and the time to learn, organize, and build the relationships needed to defend democracy is now. Dr. Matthew D. Taylor is a visiting scholar at the center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University. His book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024), tracks how a loose network of charismatic Christian leaders called the New Apostolic Reformation was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection and is currently reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. Taylor is also the creator of the audio docuseries Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic Reformation. Rev. Susan Hayward: was until recently the lead on the US Institute of Peace's efforts to understand religious dimensions of conflict and advance efforts engaging religious actors and organizations in peacebuilding. She has conducted political asylum and refugee work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Advocates for Human Rights. Rev. Hayward studied Buddhism in Nepal and is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. www.axismundi.us Executive Producer: Dr. Bradley Onishi Producer: Andrew Gill Original Music and Mixing: Scott Okamoto Production Assistance: Kari Onishi Learn more about your ad choices.

Tune in for our conversation with Dr. Stephen Cabral where he breaks down why even health-conscious biohackers can struggle with chronic symptoms, pointing to hidden imbalances that standard approaches often miss. He emphasizes starting with gut and immune health and explains why comprehensive lab testing, especially Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), offers insights that blood work alone can't capture. The conversation explores how stress, electrolyte imbalances, and heavy metal exposure quietly drain resilience, making proper detoxification and mineral balance essential. Dr. Cabral also shares practical guidance on magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and adrenal support, tailoring advice for high performers under constant pressure. We also dive into our personal HTMA results so you can get a front row seat on what a typical HTMA consultation looks like. Throughout the episode, he underscores that optimal health isn't just about supplements and protocols, but also mindset—building “stress calluses” and taking a truly holistic, systems-based approach.Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of EquiLife, the global integrative health organization providing at-home lab testing, personalized wellness protocols, and concierge health coaching to over 300,000 clients over the past 25 years.He also founded the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute (IHPI), which has certified over 5,000 practitioners globally, and hosts The Cabral Concept podcast with 3,500+ episodes and 100 million+ downloads.After overcoming a life-threatening illness at 17, Dr. Cabral went on to get his doctoral degree and completed over 2,200 internship hours all over the world including India, Sri Lanka, China, Europe, and the U.S.SHOW NOTES:0:42 Welcome to the podcast!3:13 About Dr. Stephen Cabral4:12 Welcome him to the show!4:48 Why do healthy people get sick?7:48 Addressing gut & immune system first10:36 Starting with HTMA Testing12:21 Electrolytes in hair vs blood work15:12 Validity of HTMA16:05 Overview of our results interpretation18:09 Lauren's HTMA results22:38 Supporting the HPA axis with electrolytes24:33 Magnesium recommendations25:29 Iron, Copper & Zinc31:51 Advice for high performers & high achievers33:44 *CALOCURB*34:56 Lauren's heavy metals41:17 Renee's HTMA results44:32 Creating stress “calluses”50:21 Renee's heavy metals52:50 Finding a Biological Dentist54:47 Where else metals are stored56:42 Adrenal support ingredients57:25 Zinc & Copper balancing1:03:45 Minerals & Metals Test1:05:32 His final piece of advice1:06:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Calocurb - discount code: RENEE10Website: www.drstephencabral.comIG: @stephencabralYouTube50% off the Minerals & Metals TestBook: PersonomicsCoaching: sign up for the Personomics waitlist at:Personomics.ioThe Julian Center for Comprehensive DentistryTo find a Biological Dentist: iaomt.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I'm publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner's. David implored him to join Dr Bronner's in the early 2000's, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world's most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing.Gero shares how Dr Bronner's moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good'. They've built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They've done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare. This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity.We discuss:Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it's true”. If you have ever wondered whether business can truly be a force for good, this episode offers real-world proof that it can - when values are embedded at every level.Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, your host.
