Show Notes: Turns out you just need the right info, a bit of courage, and maybe someone to teach you to swim in Bali (true story). Hugo's hostel conversation led to a whirlwind of new friendships, wild adventures, and eventually, a career that let me hopscotch the globe, bank some serious cash, and design a life I didn't want a vacation from. Principle: The truth is, the life you want isn't found in job boards or traditional paths—it's usually hiding in the stories of people who've already broken the mold. You don't need to have all the answers. You just need a glimpse of what's possible and the guts to say, "why not me?" Transition: Most people get stuck right at that fork in the road. They're burned out, fed up with the 9-to-5 grind, and craving more than just two weeks of vacation. But they stay stuck because no one ever showed them what else is out there. They think they need more money, more skills, more permission. That's why most people never leave Oklahoma City. (No offense, Oklahoma.) That's Why: That's why this week's episode with Hugo Ortega is such a game-changer. We're not just talking about travel or yachting. We're talking about what happens when you stop waiting for the perfect moment—and just start chasing the life you actually want. Hugo lays it all out, and trust me, it's not what you think. Call to Action: Tired of feeling trapped in a life that looks good on paper but feels like a slow death in khakis? This episode is your sign. Discover how one guy turned a pink slip into a passport to adventure—and how you can too. Listen now and start rewriting your own story. Follow up with Hugo: hugo.ortega@superyacht.com
November 9, 2025 Dr. David Pacini, Professor Emeritus of Historical and Philosophical Theology at Candler School of Theology, leads this three-part series.Christian nationalism has become a common phrase in our public life, but it's often misunderstood. These misunderstandings shape how we see both our faith and our country—and can make it harder to recognize the deeper religious questions it raises.For three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16), we explore what Christian nationalism actually is and why it stirs such strong feelings in us.Last week, we cleared away some of the confusion surrounding the term—especially the idea that it's simply a label for certain kinds of Christians. We looked at the historical and social roots of the movement and what makes it more than just a political slogan.This week, we'll consider why Christian nationalism feels both familiar and unsettling. Many of its themes echo our spiritual traditions, yet they also challenge them in surprising ways.Next week, we'll reflect on what makes Christian nationalism so appealing to some people, and what its rise reveals about our own longings and anxieties as a faith community.This class won't offer a final verdict or single “right” interpretation. Instead, it will invite open conversation and thoughtful reflection on the religious significance of Christian nationalism—and what it may be asking of the Church today.

Daniel Johnston is a Major in the United States Air Force, serving as a maintenance officer with experience commanding teams in both combat and training environments. He currently serves as the Director of Operations for the C-5 Maintenance Squadron at Dover Air Force Base. His previous assignments include serving as an Air Force ROTC instructor at Brigham Young University and as the Logistics Fielding Chief for the T-7A Red Hawk program. Daniel is also the author of Leading with Faith, a book that explores how modern leaders can apply faith-centered principles drawn from scripture and Church history. He earned both his bachelor's degree and MBA from Brigham Young University. After serving a two-year mission in the England London Mission, he has continued to serve in various leadership roles within his local congregation, including as a stake Sunday School president, a member of a bishopric, and currently as a Gospel Doctrine teacher. Links Leading with Faith: Timeless Lessons from Spiritual Giants Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Daniel discusses his book, Leading with Faith: Timeless Lessons from Spiritual Giants, which explores various leadership styles through the lens of scriptural and Church history figures. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding different leadership approaches and how they can be applied in both spiritual and secular contexts. Key Insights Diverse Leadership Styles: Daniel identifies six leadership styles—communicators, builders, peacemakers, exemplars, servant leaders, and disruptors—each exemplified by notable figures from church history and scripture. Communicator: Gordon B. Hinckley is highlighted as a master communicator who shaped the Church's public perception and effectively conveyed messages both internally and externally. Builder: Brigham Young is recognized for his exceptional ability to create lasting structures and communities, demonstrating that effective leadership often involves problem-solving and vision. Peacemaker: Nephi is presented as a leader who prioritized peace and made difficult decisions for the greater good, illustrating that peacemaking can involve strength and resolve. Exemplar: King David serves as an example of leading by action, showing that leaders can inspire others through their behavior and commitment to principles. Servant Leader: Gail Halverson, known as the Candy Bomber, exemplifies servant leadership by prioritizing the needs of others and making a significant impact through small acts of kindness. Leadership Applications Self-Assessment: Latter-day Saint leaders can benefit from identifying their own leadership style, which allows for personal growth and the development of strengths that align with their natural inclinations. Adapting Leadership Approaches: Leaders can experiment with different styles, such as stepping into the role of a peacemaker or servant leader, to enhance their effectiveness and better meet the needs of their communities. Fostering Community: By understanding and applying the principles of various leadership styles, leaders can create a more inclusive and supportive environment that encourages growth and collaboration among members. 00:06:00 - Leadership Styles Overview 00:08:00 - The Communicator: Gordon B.

I'm not the vice president. I'm not doing speaking tours on politics and religion. I didn't go to Yale law school and I definitely haven't paled around with a tech billionaire. However, I did go to Sunday School reverie week growing up. I have read the Bible. And as a result, I know a false prophet when I see one. Don't be distracted by the Vance-Erika Kirk hug, Instead, pay attention to his words should scream out to any Chrisitian a false prophet will say whatever to whoever he wants to con. At a recent TPUSA event, Vice President JD Vance answered questions about his Christian faith. He then stated, “I make no apologies for believing that Christianity is the pathway to God.”Of course everyone in the audience cheered. Christian conservatives praised this online. Everyone who already saluted MAGA and the Trump administration doubled down on their Christian nationalist agenda. But just because the Christian crowd cheered, doesn't mean that they should've.***Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

They emphasize the importance of understanding the diverse experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum and the role of disability specialists in supporting these individuals and their families. Key Insights Diversity of Autism Experiences: Autism is a spectrum, and individuals experience it differently. The book shares various stories that highlight these unique experiences, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to supporting individuals with autism in the church. Role of Disability Specialists: Disability specialists are crucial in church settings, providing tailored support to individuals with autism. Their presence can significantly enhance the church experience for both individuals and their families. Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication between parents, leaders, and disability specialists is essential. Regular meetings and open dialogue can help create a supportive environment that meets the needs of individuals with autism. Social Skills Development: Leaders should focus on helping individuals with autism develop social skills through structured interactions and support, especially during transitional phases like moving into young men's or young women's groups. Utilizing Strengths: Individuals with autism often have unique strengths and interests. Leaders should identify these strengths and provide opportunities for individuals to contribute meaningfully to the church community. Leadership Applications Empower Disability Specialists: Leaders should actively call and support disability specialists in their wards, ensuring they have the resources and training needed to assist individuals with autism effectively. Foster Inclusive Environments: Create a culture of understanding and acceptance by encouraging open discussions about autism and providing training for leaders and members on how to interact positively with individuals on the spectrum. Encourage Participation: Leaders can help individuals with autism find suitable callings that align with their strengths, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose within the church community. 00:04:11 - Origin of the Book "Autism in Christ's Church" 00:04:54 - Robert's Expertise in Special Education 00:06:28 - Resources for Latter-day Saints and Autism 00:07:15 - Structure of the Book: Stories and Experiences 00:08:48 - Liberty's Background with Autism 00:09:36 - Robert's Journey into Special Education
