Why do we need God's Law to truly repent? We can't turn away from something if we don't know it's wrong. God's Law helps us understand right from wrong so we can recognize our sin, repent, and renew our relationship with Him. The Israelites in Nehemiah 9 finally get this when God's Law highlights the uncomfortable truth...they're no different than their ancestors. Their response is beautiful.Join us as we dive into one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture and walk with the Israelites through their incredible day of repentance. With this masterclass in confession, the Levites show us how to renew our relationship with God using the ACTS model of prayer. Themes of this podcast: Why wearing scratchy sackcloth matters (and what it means for us today)How repentance creates a pathway to relationship with GodGod's covenant renewals throughout Scripture all point to JesusNehemiah 9 is the last recorded covenant renewal before 400 years of silence. Then Jesus shows up with a New Covenant that He writes on our hearts.Show Notes:ACTS ModelWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

The tide turns. In this episode, Sarah follows the unraveling of IntSAR from the inside out. As members begin to compare notes, stories collide, loyalties shift, and those once closest to Admiral Peter Cowell start to ask the questions they'd long avoided. Through verified WhatsApp messages, testimony, and recorded conversations, The BADmiral pieces together how the so-called “Admiralty” fractured — revealing a pattern of emotional manipulation, financial confusion, and eroding trust. This is the moment the crew begins to steer their own course. Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.

Saturday, 6 December 2025   Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:33   “And those in the boat, having come, they worshiped Him, saying, ‘Truly! You are God's Son!'” (CG).   In the previous verse, it was noted that when Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind ceased. Overcome by the events they have seen and experienced, it next says, “And those in the boat.”   The words may suggest that there were more than just the disciples in there. The boats on the Sea of Galilee would not be very large, but they may have been large enough to carry some others along. Either way, the boat was big enough for them to get up and move around. That is seen in the word translated as “having come.”   The word is omitted by some texts and most modern Bibles. However, it would be the natural reaction to such events. Peter wanted to come to Jesus. This certainly wasn't limited to him, but he was the one who called out, and so he was the one who was petitioned to come.   Once those on the boat saw what had transpired, especially the sudden calming of the sea, it would be natural to come forward to be near Jesus. This was because “they worshiped Him.”   Jesus was well known to them and the One who instructed them. It is true that if someone encountered such events in the presence of an unknown person, he may want to stay back a bit and worship from a distance. But because of their familiarity with Jesus, they wanted to be nearer to Him when bowing before Him.     The words are natural, and as would be expected. With that noted, Matthew next notes that they were “saying, ‘Truly! You are God's Son!'”   The words lack a definite article, as in, “You are the Son of God.” Despite this, it is at least an acknowledgment that Jesus was ordained by God in a unique way. He had walked on the water, and the weather was under His control. At this point, they may have been thinking of someone in the line of Moses who did such things under the authority of the Lord.   Jesus had also healed the people and multiplied the bread. Therefore, they may also have been thinking of someone like Elijah or Elisha, who had healed and/or multiplied bread under the authority of the Lord. Even until the later points of the gospel narratives, a true and complete understanding of who Jesus was continued to escape the disciples.   To be dogmatic and state that the disciples thought Jesus was “the Son of God,” meaning deity, at this point would be stretching what the disciples actually believed. Even after the resurrection, they required schooling to understand who Jesus was and the things that pertained to Him –   “Then He said to them, ‘These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.' 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.” Luke 24:44, 45   Life application: There are several views concerning who “the sons of the God” are in Genesis 6. The predominant view is the sensational view, meaning that these were angel/human hybrids. Though sensational and, therefore, exciting, it doesn't at all match up with the rest of Scripture.   Being a son of “the God” signifies a person who is in a right relationship with God or one who is set in contrast to such a relationship. The structure of the early Genesis account is presented in such a way that thoughts are introduced and then they are explained in a following passage.   For example, the thought concerning the creation of man is presented in Genesis 1. However, that is more fully explained in Genesis 2. The thought of being obedient to the law given by God and the penalties for not doing so are seen in Genesis 2, but the example of the test concerning the law is seen in Genesis 3.   The thought of the promise of a return to a right state in the presence of God is seen in Genesis 3, and the anticipation of that by Eve, and the knowledge that it is lost to her is seen in Genesis 4.   The state of a disobedient line of people who are separated from the line of those who remain friendly to God is seen in Genesis 4. The line of those who are in a right relationship with God and who will eventually lead to the Messiah is seen in Genesis 5. This particular line that is set apart to God is meticulously detailed in Genesis 5, and it is explained by the words “sons of the God” in Genesis 6.   Themes are introduced and then expanded upon. Contrasts are set up to distinguish those who are out of favor with God from those who are in favor with God. This continues to develop throughout the book. For example, like the ungodly line of Cain being introduced, followed by the godly line, the generations of Ishmael are detailed in Genesis 25:12-18, followed by the generations of Isaac beginning in Genesis 25:19.   The generations of Esau are given in Genesis 36. This is followed by the story of Jacob's offspring and what happens to them, which continues to highlight the line of those in a right standing with “the God.”   To suddenly introduce a concept, such as angels sleeping with men, is wholly out of line with this carefully detailed pattern of what God is doing. It is a faulty analysis that fails to understand what God is doing in Scripture and why He highlights things in the manner he does. Yes, it is sensational, but it is also incorrect.   If you want proper theology concerning “the sons of the God,” stay away from the idea that angels came in and started having sex with human women. It is an unbiblical and unreasonable proposition.   Lord God, it is fun and exciting to watch monster movies, but such things are not based in reality. Why would we treat Your word as if it were an exception to what we already know about the world around us? Give us wisdom to keep Your word in its proper context. Be glorified in our pursuit of Your superior word. Amen.

Topic: The 1990 DC Comics miniseries World's Finest by Dave Gibbons and Steve Rood. Contextual Background of the 1990 World's Finest (02:51 - 05:34) The miniseries releases shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's Man of Steel reboot (1986). Post-Dark Knight Returns, Batman and Superman's relationship had changed, characterized by distance rather than camaraderie. ️ Plot Overview (05:34 - 08:14) Lex Luthor and Joker team up to take over Gotham and Metropolis with intertwined but largely separate schemes. Batman and Superman investigate, culminating in events involving an orphanage, a nuclear reactor, and city-wide explosions. Decompression and Story Structure Critique (08:14 - 11:34) Discussion of story pacing issues: The narrative is elongated with side elements (e.g., orphan kids) that do not cohesively tie in. Emphasis on character moments over tight plotting. Initial Impressions and Artistic Elements (11:34 - 17:59) Chris praises the visual storytelling and art, referencing the use of parallel imagery and distinctive flashback watercolor style. Noted the deliberate design choices to echo Silver Age and Max Fleischer era Superman and early Batman. ‍️ Characterization of Villains and Supporting Cast (17:59 - 30:39) Joker portrayed in a "zany," less menacing mode, more a prankster than murderously malicious. Lex Luthor features a robotic hand and operates like a mob boss, balancing businessman and villain traits. Character Dynamics and Relationships (30:39 - 40:21) Lois Lane and Bruce Wayne's interactions highlight mutual suspicion and gradual respect. Batman and Superman's knowledge of each other's secret identities is subtle initially, revealed more overtly in third issue. ️ Themes and Continuity Notes (40:21 - 50:27) Orphanage is a thematic midpoint between Gotham and Metropolis, symbolizing shared orphan backgrounds of Batman, Superman, and villain. The book emphasizes orphans and legacy but does not fully develop these thematic elements. Technical and Artistic Praise (50:27 - 52:58) Art and character design praised for classic yet fresh look; great use of tableau pages showing Gotham and Metropolis. Noted the Batmobile's stylish design and Batman's athletic, sleek physique. Character in Action: Batman and Superman (52:58 - 59:55) Batman characterized as efficient, brutal, and action-focused. His use of Batarangs and disguises recognized as authentic. Superman rendered as powerful but more grounded Burn era 'cop,' balancing investigative journalism and heroic strength. Artistic and Thematic Highlights (59:55 - 01:09:46) Memorable moments include Superman carrying a nuclear reactor into space to save Metropolis. Subtle details such as Clark Kent's mannerisms and investigative approach noted. Overall Assessment and Legacy (01:09:46 - 01:14:36) The miniseries serves as a valuable snapshot of Batman and Superman dynamics post-Crisis and pre-mid-90s crossovers. While the narrative is considered "vibes-over-story," the series offers essential character moments, iconic imagery, and era-specific continuity. Conclusion and Promotions (01:14:36 - 01:19:44) Guests share social media handles and podcast info. Hosts plug "Trade School" podcast and Certain POV Discord for further comic discussions.

Bob and Brad return to one of cinema's grandest portrayals of genius and jealousy with a revisit of the 1984 theatrical cut of Amadeus, winner of 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. From Tom Hulce's electrifying portrayal of Mozart to F. Murray Abraham's haunting, Oscar-winning turn as Salieri, the film's mix of theatricality and psychological depth makes for one of the most fascinating character studies in film history.

In the second part of the Smart Property Investment roundtable, Phil Tarrant speaks with InvestorKit's Arjun Paliwal and Chris Huxter to unpack the evolving landscape of Australia's commercial property market, regulatory shifts, and investment strategies. Paliwal explains how Macquarie Bank's halt on lending to trusts and companies is reshaping investor approaches, highlighting the importance of staying adaptable amid regulatory changes. He stresses that commercial property isn't just a step up from residential but a long-term strategy suited to life stage, business needs, and borrowing capacity. Huxter outlines his "three M's" framework: Market, Money, and Management, showing how careful selection and oversight mitigate risk. The trio also discusses the emergence of industrial properties as standout performers due to tight supply and strong demand, with retail expected to remain resilient in the years ahead. Office assets are flagged as high-risk, particularly in Melbourne, where vacancy rates are elevated, and tenant stability is uncertain. Themes of macroeconomic trends, industry shifts, market cycles, and tenant demand thread through the discussion, providing a lens for investors to make informed, strategic decisions.

Loyalty can hold a crew together — until it doesn't. In this episode, Sarah uncovers what happens when insiders within IntSAR begin to quietly question the leadership and promises that first inspired them. Through private recordings, WhatsApp messages, and first-hand testimony, the story turns inward: a mutiny not of ships and sailors, but of trust and truth. As one key figure steps forward to speak, Sarah pieces together how belief begins to break — and how manipulation can keep even the sharpest minds anchored in place. Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Brand loyalty at Nissan isn't earned during a sale. It's earned later, when a driver needs a repair, and the part they need is already there. That moment shapes Darrin Lucas's work. He leads after-sales supply chain operations across the Americas, making sure vehicles stay in service instead of sitting in a bay waiting for parts.His team manages warranty support, service parts, and dealer inventory with one goal in mind: a repair should feel routine to the customer. The planning beneath it, however, is anything but routine. Instead of reacting to dealer requests, they work ahead of demand and stock items based on what they expect will be needed weeks from now.To make those decisions earlier and with more accuracy, Nissan is moving past traditional forecasting habits. The company utilizes AI-driven predictions, real-time performance dashboards, and automation in its distribution centers to prepare the correct parts before customers arrive for service. With better insight comes a different kind of supply chain partnership. Suppliers aren't just shipping parts; they're sharing data, adapting quickly, and helping Nissan support both production and service without sacrificing one for the other.Dealers are also part of the strategy. Darrin talks about advisory boards where dealers give feedback, test ideas, and influence how inventory gets planned. This helps Nissan prevent shortages before they occur, and it provides a clearer picture of what customers are actually experiencing in service bays, not just what spreadsheets predict.Darrin's own career mirrors the way Nissan wants the organization to work. He joined Nissan as a packaging engineer and moved into logistics, quality, and operations because leaders encouraged him to learn beyond his role. That gave him the perspective he uses today. Now, he leads by giving his team the same space to grow, allowing people to learn, think independently, and solve problems without being controlled by every metric. When people understand the business, the KPIs follow.Nissan views after-sales as an ongoing promise to customers who have already chosen the brand. It isn't a backup to manufacturing or a response to breakdowns. It's part of the relationship that continues long after the car leaves the showroom, earning loyalty through every mile the vehicle stays on the road.Themes discussed in this episode:How stocking service parts weeks in advance prevents vehicles from sitting idle at the dealershipThe shift from outdated forecasting methods to AI-driven demand planning in automotive after-salesHow automation in distribution centers speeds up service part delivery and reduces wait timesWhy suppliers must support both production and after-sales to meet customer repair expectationsThe increasing demand for OEM parts through e-commerce and how it disrupts traditional delivery modelsHow proactive parts planning turns after-sales into a strategic advantage instead of a reaction to breakdownsThe value of cross-functional experience in building leaders who understand the entire parts lifecycleThe responsibility of after-sales supply chain teams to maintain customer confidence after the saleFeatured on this episode:Name: Darrin LucasTitle: Director, Aftersales Supply Chain Operations Americas at Nissan North AmericaAbout: Darrin is the Director of Aftersales Supply Chain Operations for the

In a recent exclusive investor roundtable hosted by Smart Property Investment, Phil Tarrant speaks with InvestorKit's Arjun Paliwal and Chris Huxter to unpack real-world strategies, journeys, and lessons from the coalface of the property market. The trio underscores the value of having a community where investors can speak openly about money, yields, and strategies without fear or favour, turning what is often a lonely journey into a shared one. Paliwal reveals how he moved from banking into a data-led buyer's agency model that puts numbers ahead of aesthetics, helping thousands of investors outperform the national average. Huxter then details his shift from data centres to managing a $2.2 billion shopping centre fund and into the commercial buyer's agency space, reflecting the rising appetite for commercial assets. Around the table, investors discuss building multi-million-dollar portfolios, rapid property accumulation, and blending residential and commercial holdings for growth and income, showing how people from all walks of life are using real estate as a vehicle for long-term wealth. Themes of diversification, data-driven decision-making, evolving buyer's agency models, and the influence of family history and personal goals on investment choices threaded through the conversation.

In this message, the revelation of 5786 unfolds as a year where heaven connects to earth through the Vav, the divine joining between what God speaks and what His people manifest. The Word, the Spirit and the open hand of God converge to anchor, establish and release what has been prepared in the previous seasons. Themes of divine settlement, prosperity, favor and secured destiny rise as the hand of God meets the hand of man, empowering supernatural expansion and closing the distance between what we believe and what we see. In this message, the word of the Lord calls you into a year of anchoring, connection and manifestation.

In this episode, the group delves into the intricacies of the Malazan book 'House of Chains', focusing on character dynamics, symbolism, and the overarching themes of power and sacrifice. They discuss Tavor's leadership challenges, the legacy of Coltain, and the significance of the sword of vengeance, while also exploring the implications of the Throne of Shadow and the motivations of various factions within the narrative.

They explore the significance of the Drift of Oli, Kalam's journey, and the Cult of the Nameless Ones, while also discussing the power dynamics and the nature of gods. The complexity of the Imams and the search for truth are highlighted, culminating in the impactful imagery of the crucified dragon, which serves as a powerful symbol within the narrative. The discussion reflects on the narrative structure and how it weaves together various threads, creating a rich tapestry of lore and character development.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.

Reformed Forum is happy to introduce a major new publishing initiative: the Redemptive-Historical Bible Studies series. In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey is joined by Ryan Noha, Jim Cassidy, and Dan Ragusa to discuss how these resources embody Reformed Forum's vision for accessible, Christ-centered theological education. This series begins with two volumes—Jim Cassidy's The Book of Job: Suffering unto Glory and Dan Ragusa's Exploring 2 Peter: The Promise and the Path—each drawn from Reformed Academy courses. Designed for adult Sunday schools and small groups, these studies help readers encounter Christ in every book of Scripture. Rooted in the conviction that all Scripture testifies to the sufferings and glories of Christ, these studies move beyond mere grammatical-historical observation to unfold the redemptive unity of God's Word. Together, these books and their free companion courses mark the beginning of Reformed Forum's long-term plan: to produce faithful, Christ-centered studies for all sixty-six books of the Bible—so that the church may mature in Christ through the Word.

In this episode, I respond to Dovi's question about an older child whose session became dysregulated when his dad joined the playroom. I explain why parent presence fundamentally disrupts the CCPT process, breaks the therapeutic dyad, and immediately alters safety, consistency, and the child's ability to do meaningful work. Even when a child demands that a parent come in, that demand is almost never about the parent's actual presence — it's a power grab driven by internal dysregulation, and it requires a reflective response paired with a clear limit. I walk through how the child's behavior — making demands, using items without permission, disregarding boundaries, and eventually dumping water — all reflected a spiraling need for power and control once the playroom dynamic was fractured. I also highlight why maintaining strict adherence to the model is essential for preserving the therapeutic relationship, the environment, and the child's sense of safety. This episode reinforces that it's our responsibility to protect the integrity of CCPT, set limits with parents and children, and ensure that the playroom remains a sacred space where healing can actually take place.

That focus on real value is what led MIT research scientist Dr. Bryan Reimer to write How to Make AI Useful.The idea began casually over dinner in Lisbon, when someone asked him what he really thought about AI. Bryan didn't dive into predictions about machines taking over. He focused on something more practical: how AI only matters when it's built with people in mind.He breaks AI down into three realities: the excitement of what it could do, the fear that follows when we realize what it might do, and the long, steady work required to make it truly valuable. AI can automate the basics and even create new content, but its real strength is amplifying human skill, not replacing it. The goal isn't an autopilot workforce. It's a copilot.That means the fear that AI will take jobs is misplaced. AI changes work; it doesn't erase it. Just as assisted driving has changed how we drive, rather than removing the driver, AI will shift roles and demand new skills. Bryan points out that layoffs blamed on AI are often just business decisions wearing a convenient mask. The real question is how companies use AI to make work better rather than cheaper.To do that, leaders in automotive need to unlearn old habits. Years of rigid processes, slow decision-making, and fear of change make it hard for AI to deliver value.He argues that useful AI requires trust and transparency. It's hard for any organization to move forward when fear, hidden approvals, and layers of bureaucracy control decisions. If employees can't be trusted to make decisions, AI won't save them. The real challenge is cultural, not technical.Bryan expands the conversation globally. Japan is embracing robotics as companions, while Europe is focusing heavily on privacy. Culture shapes how AI grows, and automotive companies need to pay attention to what consumers value, not just what tech can do.He connects this to China as well. China's speed is not about dumping features into cars. It's about building products people can afford and use. If Western brands only chase faster or cheaper without real value, they will lose.AI becomes useful when companies start small, test real-world problems, and continually improve the tool until it actually helps people do their work. That progress may cost more in the beginning, but better safety features, more accurate data, and enhanced customer experiences rarely come from shortcuts. The goal is not to replace people. It's to build technology that helps them perform at a higher level.Themes discussed in this episode:How AI becomes useful only when it is designed to support human judgment instead of replacing workersWhy the “Wow, Whoa, and Grow” framework helps companies move beyond AI hype and build tools that solve real problemsHow assisted driving proves that advanced technology still depends on human responsibility and oversight to deliver safe, reliable resultsThe importance of unlearning outdated processes before applying AI to existing workflows in automotiveWhy a lack of trust inside automotive organizations slows down AI adoption more than the technology itselfLessons from China's speed in product development and why Western automakers should prioritize value and accessibility over rushed innovationWhat automotive leaders can learn from the pharmaceutical model of testing, releasing, and improving technology through data-driven updates over timeWhy leaders should start small, run narrow...
