When I was a child in grade five, I was given a New Testament by the Gideon Society, like everyone else in my grade. Note: the New Testament, not the entire Bible. I suspect that the decision to confine the gift to the New Testament Scriptures was dictated more by economics than by theology—after all, there were a lot of kids in the schools in those days and giving an entire Bible to each one of them would have cost a lot. Nonetheless the decision tended to give the impression that it was only the New Testament that mattered and that the Old Testament didn't count for much for Christians.

What's the secret behind B2B SaaS sales growth and how can outbound strategies be used to scale revenue efficiently? When it comes to growing a B2B SaaS company, not all sales leads are created equal. Inbound leads, those who find you through marketing efforts or referrals, already have some level of trust. They've seen your website, maybe read a blog post or two, and are at least familiar with your brand. Outbound leads, on the other hand, have no idea who you are. You're reaching out to them cold, and they're likely skeptical from the start. That's why trust becomes your most important asset in outbound sales. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, brought to you by ⁠SaaStock⁠, Joey Gilkey, CEO of Titan X, explains that outbound sales require a different mindset. You're not just selling a product; you're building a relationship from zero. In outbound, your first impression matters more than ever. That process starts with establishing credibility right away. Without trust, even the best SaaS product won't make it through the noise.As a valued listener of the Grow Your B2B SaaS podcast, we've got something special for you!

Mary Stone shares her experience participating in a moth survey with Blaine Rothauser of GZA Geoenvironmental, Inc., and Dennis Briede, whose mountain meadow is at the base of the Kittatinny Mountains in Blairstown, New Jersey. Using metal halide and ultraviolet lights to attract moths, they recorded 80 species by 11:15 PM. Blaine emphasizes the importance of moths as ecological indicators. Mary highlights the Bird Poop Moth's camouflage and the Rosy Maple Moth's charm, amongst other remarkable moths, and the beauty and significance of nocturnal insects.Related Stories: Moth Survey in a Mountain Meadow - Blog PostEpisode 100 Antics of Meadow WildlifeAntics of Meadow Wildlife - Blog PostEp 101.

In this week's episode of The Girls and Property Podcast, we're diving into something totally new—surveying! And I've got just the woman to guide us through it.I'm joined by the brilliant Sophie Perkins, a seasoned surveyor who's making serious waves for women in construction. Sophie brings a straight-talking, fresh perspective on what it's really like to work in an industry that's still very much male-dominated—and trust me, some of the stories she shares will stop you in your tracks. It's clear the sector's due a serious shake-up.We cover the different types of surveying (yes, there's more than one!) and why it's so important for us as investors to understand the difference. We also get into the barriers women still face, and how to build real, lasting credibility in a space that wasn't exactly designed with us in mind. Sophie opens up about her journey, the challenges she's tackled, and what keeps her fired up every single day.One of my favourite parts? Hearing all about Sophie's brand-new footwear collection, Sophie's Choice—proper PPE designed specifically for women in construction. Finally, work boots that fit properly, look the part and do the job. Built by a woman who genuinely understands what women on-site need.It's a great conversation, full of insight, honesty, and inspiration. How to get involved with the Girls in Property Community

American democracy is in danger. How do we protect it from authoritarian reactionary Christianity? On January 6, 2021, hundreds of Americans stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of their political opponent's election. At the forefront were Christians claiming to act in the name of Jesus Christ and his supposed representative on earth, Donald Trump. How can this have happened? David P. Gushee tackles the question in this timely work of Christian political ethics. Gushee calls us to preserve democratic norms, including constitutional government, the rule of law, and equal rights for all, even as many Christians take a reactionary and antidemocratic stance. Surveying global politics and modern history, he analyzes how Christians have discarded their commitment to democracy and bought into authoritarianism. He urges us to fight back by reviving our hard-won traditions of congregational democracy, dissident Black Christian politics, and covenantal theology. Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies makes a robust case for a renewed commitment to democracy on the part of Christians—not by succumbing to secular liberalism, but by drawing on our own best traditions. Any concerned Christian will leave its pages with eyes wide open to the dangers of our current form of political engagement. Readers will gain insight into what democracy is truly meant to be and why Christians once supported it wholeheartedly—and should do so again. This conversation and book talk with David P. Gushee and Kristin Kobes Du Mez took place on March 15, 2024 and was sponsored by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Schuler Books, and the Kaufman Interfaith Institute. Theme music "Nigal."

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

This is Jim Marrs' final interview. His work will endure and will continue changing people's lives. Jim was going through dialysis while we were preparing for this interview. He wasn't feeling well, and I asked him if he wanted to postpone our talk. He refused. His commitment to this conversation - and more than anything, to sharing his work - was too important. He was one of the last true journalists. He did what he loved until the very end. I was privileged to call him a friend. Jim is no longer with us, but his legacy will endure. R.I.P. Jim. Chilling initiations. Big banks and money manipulations. Possible links to the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Adamses, and Bushes. Reviewing the evidence, documents, and connections, The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World by award-winning journalist and author Jim Marrs shines a light on the history, inner workings, and continuing influence of this hidden power structure. Surveying a range of voices - from those who dismiss the Illuminati as a short-lived group of little consequence to those who challenge government narratives - Marrs cuts through both wild speculation and deliberate silence to reveal the true scope of this clandestine order. He explores their origins as The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria, the symbolism of the all-seeing eye and pyramid on the U.S. dollar bill, and the so-called Protocols for usurping national governments and pursuing control of the world stage. Marrs connects these threads to today's logos, elite fraternities like Skull and Bones, the Knights Templar, historic revolutions, and more. The Illuminati is a deep, fearless exposé - connecting wealth, power, and secrecy into a narrative that continues to shape the world we live in. Through Jim's voice, we're reminded why it matters to keep asking questions - especially the dangerous ones.

We were joined by people leaders from Glassdoor, Asana, and Upstart. We talked about the fragmented burnout and how it's hitting people differently, how performance expectations have shifted in the last 6-12 months, and more.---- Sponsor Links:

Read the book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/.../9780593914113/...   The Myth of American Idealism offers a timely and comprehensive introduction to the incisive critiques of U.S. power that have made Noam Chomsky a “global phenomenon,” one of the most widely known public intellectuals of all time. Surveying the history of U.S. military and economic activity around the world, Chomsky and his co-author Nathan J. Robinson vividly trace the way the American pursuit of global domination has wrought havoc in country after country – without, ironically, making Americans any safer. And they explore how dominant elites in the United States have pushed self-serving myths about this country's commitment to “spreading democracy,” while pursuing a reckless foreign policy that served the interest of few and endangered all too many.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
