Stewarding our Gifts: It's important to know our spiritual gifting, but it's even more important to know how to steward your gifting well. This week, Rachel Hunka focused on the Parable of the Talents, where we see how the master gave more to the servants who were faithful with the little they had. Similarly, the Father will give us more when we show good stewardship over what He has already given to us. We are all getting to the finish line, will you be proud of yourself when you get there?

What if the most dangerous move is playing it safe? We open Matthew 25 and wrestle with the Parable of the Talents as a living blueprint for money, mission, and movement. The thread running through every story and challenge is simple: how you see God shapes what you build. If you believe He's harsh, you bury. If you know He's good, you build. From fasting and prayer to a bold vision for community impact, we explore why immediate obedience beats ideal conditions and how a multiplication mindset replaces maintenance.We walk through the five-talent servant's urgency and risk, showing how trust turns resources into reach. Then we spotlight the two-talent servant, who rejects comparison and matches faithfulness, not capacity—proof that heaven rewards obedience over volume. Finally, we face the one-talent warning: fear masquerading as wisdom, safety that wastes opportunity, and bad theology that breeds small, stalled choices. Along the way, we share stories of empathy in action and a dream that reframes provision, reminding us that heaven's scale doesn't bow to our math.This conversation is for anyone tired of careful, neutral living and hungry to see gifts, time, and treasure multiplied for real people and real needs. We talk generosity, risk tolerance, practical steps to start now, and how vulnerability turns pain into a pathway for others. The invitation stands: stop overthinking, start moving, and steward what's in your hand with courage and clarity. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us the one step you're taking this week. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

À travers son parcours personnel - de la Silicon Valley à Paris - et son rôle à la tête de Station F, Roxanne Varza revient sur ce qui fait aujourd'hui la force de l'écosystème français : la qualité des talents, la fidélité des équipes, la formation, le cadre de vie et une ouverture internationale renforcée par des politiques de visas attractives.

You can never be them. They can never be you. So stop trying. In a culture obsessed with comparison and counterfeits, most leaders spend their entire lives trying to become someone else. They look at other leaders and think, "How do they do that?" They scroll through feeds, compare themselves to the competition, and slowly lose sight of the one thing that makes them irreplaceable: their unique design. Here's the truth: God put you on this earth with a unique spiritual, practical, relational, and emotional fingerprint. You are uniquely designed for impact. But if you don't understand your design, you'll spend your life getting lived by your circumstances instead of actively living with purpose and agency. In this episode, we're diving into the fourth sphere of an H2 Leader: Design. This is about how you maximize your talents and abilities—not by copying someone else's playbook, but by discovering and unleashing what you're uniquely wired to do. What You'll Learn: Why most people are getting lived by their lives instead of actively living them—and the main reason they don't have agency The difference between form (spark, beauty, passion) and function (usefulness, practicality, value) Why focusing only on passion is incomplete—and why we need to talk more about purpose and usefulness The IKEA principle: how form without function (or function without form) leads to unfulfilling work How to design your life like a designer by balancing what energizes you with what serves others The power of asking "How can I be of value?" instead of "Here's what I'm bringing" Why understanding your design is the key to preventing burnout (not just working less) How to identify the environments where you thrive—and why this matters more than you think The myth that you'll figure this out at 22—and why design clarity comes over time as form and function converge Real stories: the leader doing world-changing work who was intimidated by a simple board retreat (because it's not his design) Why one organization has a literal waiting list of people wanting to join their team—and what that says about leadership below the surface The connection between self-awareness (last week's episode) and design—you can't understand your design without self-awareness first Key Insight: Most leaders don't know their design, so they try to live someone else's. But when you understand your unique design—your strengths, your environments, your spark and your function—you stop wasting energy trying to be someone you're not. You unleash what only you can bring to the world. Design isn't just about doing what you love. It's about the convergence of what energizes you (form/spark) and what serves others (function/usefulness). When those two come together, you become irreplaceable. The Form + Function Framework: Form (Spark): What makes you come alive? What environments fire you up? What work do you wake up wanting to do? Function (Usefulness): How can you be valuable? What needs do you uniquely meet? Where can you serve? When form and function overlap—that's your design. That's where you thrive. Reflection Questions: In what area of your life or leadership have you lost the spark—and what would it look like to tweak some things so you could recover it? In what area can you be more valuable to the team you serve? What is your ideal day at work? What is your absolute non-ideal day? (The gap reveals your design.) What environments do you absolutely love walking into—where you think, "I can't believe I get to do this"? Practical Exercise: Map out your ideal day at work. Then map out your ideal Sabbath day (rest and replenishment). Then map out your absolute worst day—what drains you and feels like a beat down. The patterns you see will reveal your design. Do an audit at the end of each day for a week: Rate the day 1-10 and ask why. You'll start to see what energizes you versus what drains you. Resources Mentioned: Anti-Burnout by Alan Briggs (design principles threaded throughout) H2 Leadership Coaching (three-day intensive experiences to uncover your unique design) Want More? A major reason people burn out is they don't understand their design—they're living counter to how they're wired. If you want to go deeper on this, check out Alan's book Anti-Burnout and explore coaching at h2leadership.com. For leaders who know there's more—the "more" isn't out there. It's right here. Once you have clarity on your unique design, you can take courageous next steps to actually live in it.  

Welcome to the RPGBOT.Podcast, where today's character creation lesson begins with basic geometry, escalates into psychic powers, and somehow ends with a pacifist circus bear being seriously considered as a build option. In this episode, we take the gloves off and actually make characters for Pulp Cthulhu—choosing archetypes, rolling stats, hoarding skill points like goblins, and discovering that if you roll too well, you might accidentally invent the world's first telepathic himbo artist. If you've ever wondered how Call of Cthulhu character creation becomes fast, fun, and dangerously powerful, this is where the pulp really starts to flow. The D8 goes in the D8 hole. Show Notes This episode walks step-by-step through Pulp Cthulhu character creation, showing how investigators are built to be tougher, broader, and far more cinematic than their classic Call of Cthulhu counterparts. Ash guides Tyler and Randall through the full process—then breaks it down into a Quick & Dirty method that can get players to the table in minutes. Step 1: Choose an Archetype Archetypes replace traditional "classes" and are rooted in classic pulp fiction roles: Mystic (psychic powers, occult insight, vibes) Egghead (engineers, scientists, gadgeteers) Two-Fisted, Swashbuckler, Femme Fatale, Bon Vivant, and more Each archetype: Defines a core characteristic Grants bonus archetype skills Suggests traits, occupations, and story hooks This approach encourages concept-first design, letting the character idea drive the mechanics instead of the other way around. Step 2: Generate Characteristics Attributes are rolled using the familiar D100 roll-under system, but with a key twist: Core characteristic = 1d6 + 13 × 5 (expect very high numbers) Other stats use 3d6×5 or 2d6+6×5 High pulp means exceptional competence The result? Characters who feel powerful immediately—sometimes too powerful, leading to delightful accidents like rolling: Incredible Power Solid looks Questionable intelligence (Yes, the "himbo build" is real.) Step 3: Talents (High Pulp Edition) Because this game is running High Pulp, characters receive four talents instead of two. Talents are drawn from four categories: Physical Mental Combat Miscellaneous Highlights from the episode include: Psychic Powers Arcane Insight Weird Science Animal Companion (responsibly downgraded from "bear" to "bear-adjacent dog") Talents dramatically define how characters play and reinforce pulp action over fragile realism. Step 4: Occupation & Skill Points Occupations grant massive skill point pools, often hundreds of points: Skills start with base percentages Occupational skills come first Archetype skills add another 100 points Personal interest skills add even more The result is wide, competent characters instead of hyper-specialized glass cannons. The episode includes practical advice: Avoid pushing every skill to 95 Aim for flexibility, not just peak numbers Remember Credit Rating is mandatory and matters in play Step 5: Backstory (Fast but Meaningful) Instead of long essays, Pulp Cthulhu uses structured prompts: Personal description (biased, first-person) Ideology and beliefs Significant people Treasured possessions Traits Random tables spark instant character hooks, like: Idolizing Nikola Tesla Carrying calipers as a grounding object Shared trauma bonds Risk-taking or unreliable personalities One key backstory element becomes your Sanity anchor, helping characters recover from mental trauma. Quick & Dirty Character Creation Ash closes the episode with a streamlined alternative: Assign preset stat values Pick talents Select skills from fixed arrays Roll backstory details Start playing immediately Perfect for one-shots, convention play, or groups eager to punch cultists now, not in two hours. Key Takeaways Pulp Cthulhu character creation is fast, flexible, and cinematic Archetypes replace classes with strong narrative identity High Pulp characters start powerful and stay relevant Talents are the heart of customization Skill points are plentiful—breadth is rewarded Structured backstory tools create instant roleplay hooks The Quick & Dirty method gets you playing in minutes Yes, you can accidentally build a psychic himbo—and that's a feature Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the Parable of the Talents from the Gospel of Matthew, explaining its significance as a teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven. He unpacks how the master entrusts his servants with talents (money) according to their abilities and the varied responses they have—two servants invest and multiply their talents, while one hides his out of fear and laziness. Fr. Matthias discusses the meaning of these talents as God-given gifts and responsibilities, emphasizing that each person is called to use their unique abilities for service and growth in God's kingdom. He highlights how faithfulness and diligence in small tasks lead to greater responsibility and joy in serving the Lord. The parable also warns of judgment for those who neglect their gifts. Through this teaching, Fr. Matthias encourages believers to understand stewardship, courage in service, and the importance of using all God's gifts for His glory and the benefit of others.

In this thought-provoking message, Rev. Dr. J.R. Briggs invites us to take an honest look at the metrics we use to measure our worth. In a culture obsessed with external achievements, it's easy to feel like we are constantly falling short.Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, Dr. J.R. Briggs challenges us to shift our focus from societal definitions of success—like money and prestige—to a deeper understanding of stewardship and grace. He unpacks the truth that spiritual maturity isn't about what we accomplish, but about the posture of our hearts.Join us as we explore how to release the pressure of performance and embrace our true identity: one that is received, not achieved.

Luxembourg depends on international talent and launched Work in Luxembourg this week to attract, integrate and retain global skills. Luxembourg is competing in a global race for talent. With the launch of Work in Luxembourg, a national portal and brand, the country is reshaping how international professionals discover, choose and settle in the Grand Duchy. Talent attraction, integration and retention is central to Luxembourg's economic future. This week, I was joined by Muriel Morbé, Director of Talents & Skills at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, to unpack what Luxembourg is doing differently to attract the best talent. Around 75% of Luxembourg's workforce is international, including residents and cross-border workers. At the same time, demographic shifts, digital transformation and accelerating retirements are reshaping the labour market. Despite unemployment figures, many sectors, from digital and finance to healthcare, engineering and technical trades, face acute skills shortages. The challenge is to both attract people and ensure they stay. Luxembourg is trying to attract about 335,000 new recruitments by 2040 to meet its workforce requirements, according to estimations from the General Inspectorate of Social Security (IGSS) and the Chamber of Commerce. The Work in Luxembourg portal is designed as a single national entry point for both international talent and companies of all sizes recruiting globally. It brings together job opportunities, practical guidance on living in Luxembourg, immigration pathways and relocation support all under one coherent national narrative. Alongside the digital portal, a new physical Talent Desk has been launched. This human touchpoint recognises that ‘talent' does not arrive alone. International professionals arrive with partners, children and real lives, and if families fail to integrate, talent leaves. The Talent Desk supports both individuals and employers with administrative guidance, integration pathways and access to the right networks. A standout element of the initiative is the forthcoming Spouse Programme, developed with partners including the Ministry of Family Affairs and the House of Training. It helps partners of international recruits understand Luxembourg's economy, explore career or volunteering opportunities, and build social and professional networks. “Integration is not a ‘nice to have', it's an economic imperative.” As work evolves through AI, automation and multigenerational workplaces, Luxembourg is also focusing on lifelong learning, re-skilling and talent development. Through initiatives such as the House of Training and the Chamber's Talents 4 Luxembourg recommendations, the emphasis is on preparing for today's jobs, and roles that don't yet exist. Luxembourg is no longer just competing for jobs is competing for people, for families, and for long-term commitment. The success of Work in Luxembourg will not be measured by whether people choose to build a life here and stay. Work in Luxembourg portal

What if getting exactly what you want is the moment everything starts to go wrong? Two Twilight Zone tales explore the seductive promise of beating the odds, only to reveal how quickly fortune curdles into fate. In both stories, ordinary people glimpse a shortcut to a better life — a way around struggle, chance, and limitation. But Serling's universe has rules, and tampering with destiny comes at a cost. These episodes tease the fantasy of control while quietly tightening the trap, asking whether luck is ever truly a gift… or just destiny collecting payment in advance. The post Special Talents appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.

What if getting exactly what you want is the moment everything starts to go wrong? Two Twilight Zone tales explore the seductive promise of beating the odds, only to reveal how quickly fortune curdles into fate. In both stories, ordinary people glimpse a shortcut to a better life — a way around struggle, chance, and limitation. But Serling's universe has rules, and tampering with destiny comes at a cost. These episodes tease the fantasy of control while quietly tightening the trap, asking whether luck is ever truly a gift… or just destiny collecting payment in advance. In "What You Need," a mild, mysterious street peddler seems able to give people small, everyday objects they'll soon desperately require. His gifts save lives and change futures — until a ruthless criminal tries to force the man to reveal a winning horse-race tip. Desperate to exploit the power for wealth, he demands something that will secure his fortune, only to receive an item that ensures his doom instead. The episode becomes a quiet moral fable about trust, timing, and how greed turns blessings into curses the moment we try to outsmart the natural order. "The Prime Mover" follows a down-and-out gambler who discovers his friend has telekinetic powers that can influence dice, roulette wheels, and cards. At first, the ability seems like a miracle ticket out of poverty, and the pair head to Las Vegas to clean up. But pressure, fear, and mounting suspicion begin to erode the psychic control that made their winning streak possible. As the stakes rise, so does the danger, and their "sure thing" spirals toward disaster. Together, these stories warn that bending reality for profit doesn't just change the game — it changes the people playing it.

Wie blicken unterschiedliche Generationen auf das neue Jahr – und auf die Zukunft insgesamt? In der ersten Folge von Zukunft gestalten in diesem Jahr geht es um Erwartungen, Sorgen und Hoffnungen von Jung und Alt. Gemeinsam mit der Diversity-Expertin Dr. Irène Kilubi und Jessica Gerke vom Projekt GenNow der Bertelsmann Stiftung sprechen wir darüber, was junge Menschen heute bewegt, warum Generationen oft in Schubladen gesteckt werden und was es für ein gutes Miteinander wirklich braucht. Es geht um Mental Health, politische Teilhabe, Altersbilder in der Arbeitswelt und die Frage, warum das Alter von Menschen oft überschätzt wird, während Haltung, Kompetenzen und Neugier zu kurz kommen. Ein Gespräch über Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten, über Vorurteile und Chancen – und darüber, wie Generationen gemeinsam Zukunft gestalten können.

Executive Pastor, Dr. Stephen Trammell, shares that the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30 reveals how believers can live meaningfully while anticipating Christ's return. God entrusts each person with resources according to their abilities, expecting faithful stewardship rather than fearful inaction. Two servants doubled their investments through wise action, while one buried his talent out of fear and misunderstanding of his master's character. Faithfulness requires both faith and action across all areas of life - finances, relationships, health, and spiritual growth. God will reward those who prove faithful during this time between Christ's first and second coming. Your belief determines where you spend eternity, but your behavior determines how you spend eternity.

Bible Study God gives every believer gifts, but those gifts are not the calling itself—they are tools meant to serve the calling. Scripture shows that while gifts are diverse and present throughout a person's life, the calling is the God-ordained purpose those gifts advance. Like the craftsmen who built what Moses was called to lead, or Joseph whose lifelong administrative skill and ability to interpret dreams positioned him to preserve Israel, gifts consistently showed up in daily responsibilities long before the calling was fully revealed. Joseph faithfully used his gifts in every season—at home, in slavery, and in prison—without fully understanding where God was leading, yet God directed each step. The lesson is not to confuse skill with destiny: use what God has given you wherever you are, trust Him with the timing, and allow faithful obedience in the present to lead you clearly into your calling when the time is right. __________ Romans 12:3–8 NLT, Exodus 31:1–6 NLT, Genesis 37:5–7 NLT, Genesis 39:2–6 NLT, Genesis 37:2 NLT, Genesis 39:21–23 NLT, Genesis 40:1–4 NLT, Genesis 40:12–13 NLT, Genesis 40:18–22 NLT, Genesis 41:25–27 NLT, Genesis 41:32 NLT, Genesis 41:33–37 NLT, Genesis 41:39–41 NLT, Genesis 42:6–9 NLT, Genesis 45:5–8 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
