James closes his letter with a powerful call to patience, perseverance, and prayer. He urges believers to wait patiently for the Lord's return, like a farmer waiting for the harvest. We are reminded of Job's endurance and God's compassion, encouraging us to remain steadfast in suffering. James ends with a call to spiritual restoration, urging believers to bring back those who wander from the truth. Saving a soul from death and covering a multitude of sins is a sacred act of love. We are called to be patient in trials, persistent in prayer, and passionate about restoring others. James reminds us that the Christian life is not passive—it's active faith, grounded in hope and community care.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

James challenges believers to abandon arrogant self-confidence and instead submit their plans to God's will. He rebukes those who boast about future business ventures without considering God's sovereignty, reminding us that life is brief—like a mist. We are called to live with humility, ignoring God's will is not just careless—it's sinful. James delivers a warning to the rich who hoard wealth and exploit workers. Their luxury is short-lived, and their injustice cries out to God. James paints a sobering picture of judgment for those who pursue riches at the expense of righteousness. Zwai calls us to live humbly, depend on God for our plans, and use our resources justly. Life is fleeting, and true security is found not in wealth or control, but in faithfulness to God.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

Hip-hop has long proven itself to be the only genre that has truly transcended cultures across its 50+ year history. Yet, despite this powerful legacy, the culture often overlooks its pioneers.While other genres honor their trailblazers, hip-hop has a troubling tendency to dismiss its elder statesmen—shaming veteran artists for continuing to create or ignoring their new music altogether. Radio rarely supports them, and media coverage is sparse.This mix is a tribute to both the old and the new, but most importantly, it's a celebration of the legends who are still making incredible music today. Many of these seasoned artists continue to out-rap younger generations while pushing the culture forward.So enjoy this journey—what I call Seasoned & Streetwise... Grown Man Rap.Created & Presented by:DJ Mike Nick's ... Your Forever DJ

War has consumed humanity ever since we began, and James challenges us in how we control ourelves in the face of our desires that we might act in a manner that is honouring and loving rather than destroying and allowing our nature to take control of our actions.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

Justin takes us through one of the most challenging passages in the book of James, where we look at what it means to have real faith. We unpack the words of James and compare them to some of the words of the Apostle Paul on the same topic.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit
Alex delves into James' teachings on partiality, with reflection on Jesus' approach to the topic as well. James was disappointed to have discovered that the early church had fallen into the wordly tradition of partiality based on wealth, and Alex encourages us to examine our own hearts to find where we show partiality and how we view all as God calls us to.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

Ndaba explores the theme of hearing and doing the Word within a world that does not desire to conform to the directives of the Word and how best we respond through our interactions based off of how we see and listen. But above all, we are called to obedience to Christ through His Word and teachings.~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

Justin continues to explore the theme of enduring trials with faith, emphasizing that suffering is an inevitable part of life in a fallen world, but through perseverance and reliance on God, individuals can grow spiritually and find joy not in the trials themselves, but in what they produce—maturity, strength, and deeper faith. Believers need to practice two disciplines: "consider" (self-talk grounded in biblical truth) and "ask" (prayerfully seeking God's wisdom).~~~Get more information on the series:https://ruc.org.za/jamesPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit

Another week, another Adam's Paternity Leave release, this time we've got the one, the only Patricia Charbonneau, about whom this podcast is centrally concerned. As mentioned last week, this is content that's been behind the Patreon paywall for a while. Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. New Munchies can't join as paying members until that's unpaused, but you can join as a free member and at least be kept abreast of pod news...When questions like “If I die, and there's a hot tub, can I be made a saint?” get posed, you know things got weird. This installment in Munchstory has Adam and Josh covering “Streetwise” (S9E11) like a blanket on a mattress—or a society doucher, apparently. This episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has it all. Mae Whitman going from glitz to gutter and back again. STUNTS! Adam Beach. A bum family complete with a pretty messianic cult leader dad who isn't afraid to go big. True Munchies will enjoy the diversions through high society, defunct Swedish automotive companies, the conditions necessary for beatification and the Christianization of the Welsh, defunct NYC music institutions, the nature of paintball, and much, much more.Sources:“What Are Three Teenagers Supposed to Do When the FBI Raids Their House” by Kathleen Garrett - Zocalo Public Square“I Could Never Talk to My Dad About How I Saved Him from Prison” by Kathleen Garrett - Zocalo Public SquarePaintballs 101: Everything You Need to Know About Paint - Paint the CompetitionArlington Mom Who Cried Rape Gets Five Years in Slaying - Fort Worth Star-TelegramMusic:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Nikki B, Diana R, Tony B, Zak B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Christine L, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, Douglas P, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Kevin, Lily, Lucy, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Alison M, Whitney C, Alex, and Kaytlyn B - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

AmiSights: Financing the Future For Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs
In this week's episode of the AmiSights Podcast, we speak with Nir Zavaro, founder and CEO of Streetwise, a marketing company based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Nir, also an author, shares the inspiration behind the eye-opening title of his latest book, F*ck the Slides: Creating a Winning Pitch Using Storytelling Techniques. “I thought I can bring something new to that industry. And that's when I started my consulting company. And I started to fix businesses like that. And within 2 or 3 years, I became one of the top 5 in the country. So, take the bad things, learn from them, and understand that most of the time people will do roughly the same thing because that's how they got used to doing it. That's how the industry is." Today's episode explores how a failed business venture provided Nir with the valuable experience needed to start his own consulting company, the power of selling an experience or emotion to drive business success beyond just the product, and the critical role unique storytelling techniques play in building a successful brand.
