There is a danger in reading passages such as this one from St. Isaac and hearing primarily a warning: Do not become negligent. Do not allow yourself to grow lax. Guard your solitude. Avoid unnecessary conversation. Do not permit the mind to become scattered. Certainly Isaac is warning us. His language is deliberately severe because he knows how fragile the beginnings of prayer can be. A heart newly awakened to God is like the tender blossom of a fruit tree. It possesses within itself the promise of fruit, but it can still be injured by a sudden frost. The mind that has begun to discover stillness can quickly become dispersed again. The heart that has tasted the sweetness of prayer can become strangely cold. But if we hear only the warning, we may miss something much more beautiful in Isaac's words. The great concern of Homily 19 is not simply that we avoid negligence. It is that we recognize what has been given to us and take hold of it. Isaac is speaking to men and women who have tasted something. They have tasted God. “If fiery thoughts arise in you,” he writes, “through the consuming flame of divine things,” and you “enjoy a taste of God,” then guard what has been given to you. That changes everything. The ascetical life is not primarily the anxious preservation of spiritual discipline. It is the response of the heart to a gift. We guard prayer because we have discovered Someone in prayer. We seek stillness because within stillness we have begun to hear the voice of the Beloved. We withdraw from unnecessary occupations not because created things are evil, but because something infinitely more precious has begun to draw the heart. This is why Isaac can speak so dramatically about the loss of fervor. “Only the man who drinks deeply of this wine, and afterward is deprived of it, only he knows to what misery he has been abandoned.” One cannot miss the language of desire here. The tragedy is not simply that the monk has broken his rule. The tragedy is that he has allowed himself to become separated from something he has tasted and loved. He knows the wine. He remembers its sweetness. And now he thirsts. This is the deeper meaning of vigilance. Negligence Is Forgetfulness Negligence in the spiritual life is rarely simply laziness. At its deepest level it is forgetfulness. The heart forgets what it desires. Isaac tells us that through excessive conversation, unnecessary occupations, sensory dispersion, and involvement in countless affairs, “the object of her desire is blotted out from her mind.” That sentence may be the key to the entire passage. The object of her desire is blotted out. The danger of distraction is not merely that it wastes time. It obscures desire. We begin to forget why we are alive. We may continue doing many good things. We may remain religious. We may fulfill responsibilities. We may even continue praying. Yet somewhere beneath all this activity, the memory of God can grow faint. And once that memory fades, lesser desires begin to fill the empty space. The Fathers understood this with extraordinary psychological depth. The heart cannot remain without desire. If it ceases to be gathered toward God, it will inevitably become scattered among countless lesser things. This is why Isaac says: “Do not multiply your occupations, and you will not find turmoil in your mind, or in your prayer.” He is not preaching inactivity. He is teaching simplicity of heart. The question becomes: What possesses my attention because it possesses my desire? Take Hold of Grace There is another danger, however, subtler than negligence. We may imagine that because everything depends upon grace, we need only wait passively for God to act. Isaac knows nothing of such passivity. When grace visits the heart, take hold of it. When prayer becomes warm, remain there. When tears come, do not hurry away from them. When desire for God awakens, feed it. When silence begins to gather the mind, protect that silence. When the Name of Jesus descends even slightly from the lips toward the heart, treasure it. Not because grace can be possessed or controlled, but because love asks for a response. There is a holy cooperation between divine grace and human freedom. God awakens the heart, and the heart turns toward Him. God gives the thirst, and we begin to drink. God lights the flame, and we cease throwing cold water upon it through negligence. This is why the Fathers can sound simultaneously so uncompromising about asceticism and so utterly dependent upon grace. There is no contradiction. Asceticism is what love looks like when freedom responds to grace. The Stronger Attraction And here we reach something even deeper. Isaac does not ultimately believe that the Christian life is sustained by fear of distraction. It is sustained by attraction. The lesser things of life pull upon us. Conversation pulls upon us. Curiosity pulls upon us. Responsibilities pull upon us. Memories, anxieties, pleasures, opinions, news, recognition, work—all of these exert a gravitational force upon the heart. But there is another gravity. Divine love. And it is stronger. The spiritual life matures when we discover that holiness is not primarily a heroic attempt to tear ourselves away from the world. It is allowing ourselves to be drawn increasingly by the beauty of God. The Psalmist does not cry: My soul has disciplined itself for Thee. He cries: “My soul thirsted for Thee.” Thirst is attraction. Desire is attraction. Love is attraction. The heart has glimpsed the Face for which it was created, and suddenly everything else begins to reveal its proper measure. This is why the saints sometimes appear almost incomprehensible to us. Their detachment can look severe from the outside. But from within, something very different is happening. They are being drawn. Christ has become more beautiful than everything they have relinquished. The Memory of the Wine Perhaps this is why God sometimes permits us to experience the loss Isaac describes. We have known moments when prayer was alive. Moments when the Name of Jesus seemed to contain everything. Moments when silence was not empty but filled with Presence. Moments when tears came without effort. Moments when we knew—not merely intellectually, but existentially—that God was near. And then the heart became cold. We became distracted. We multiplied our occupations. We returned to noise. The temptation is to despair over this. Isaac gives us another way. Remember the wine. The memory of grace itself can become a summons. Not nostalgia for a spiritual experience, but remembrance of the One who gave Himself within it. The coldness reveals the thirst. The absence reveals the desire. And the heart begins again: Where are You? Why have I wandered so far from what my soul desires? When shall I come and appear before Your face? Even our sorrow over having lost the sweetness of prayer can become prayer. “If You Will” There is something here that echoes the great saying of Abba Joseph: “If you will, you can become all flame.” Not because we manufacture the fire. The fire is God. The desire is awakened by God. The grace is given by God. The attraction originates in God. But the human will must consent to being consumed. This is the dignity and trembling mystery of our freedom. Grace comes and says: Remain. And we must choose whether to remain. Love draws and says: Come. And we must choose whether to follow. The flame rises and says: Give yourself. And we must decide whether we will continue protecting the thousand little things that keep us divided, or allow ourselves finally to belong to the One who desires the whole heart. Isaac's severity therefore conceals extraordinary tenderness. He is not telling us merely: Be careful what you lose. He is telling us: Look at what you have found. You have tasted something more precious than everything that distracts you. You have discovered the hidden wine. You have felt the beginnings of the fire. You have heard within yourself the ancient cry: “My soul thirsted for Thee, the mighty, the living God.” Do not be afraid merely of negligence. Be afraid of forgetting what your heart has discovered. And then turn again. Take hold of the grace that has taken hold of you. For beneath all our seeking is a greater seeking. Beneath our thirst is a deeper thirst. Beneath our desire for God is the immeasurably greater desire of God for us. In the end, it is not our weak attraction toward Him that will carry us home. It is the stronger pull of His love. Our task is to cease resisting it. To remain. To consent. And, if we will, to become all flame. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:04 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 219, paragraph 2 00:10:34 Janine: Oh great Miles is back! 00:12:04 James Hickman: I came across this today.

Have you ever longed for more? Has it felt like there are things in life that you're pursuing but they aren't fully satisfying? Join us as we explore the invitation Jesus gives to anyone whose soul is longing for more. Just like our bodies crave water when we're truly thirsty, our souls crave peace, purpose, and identity that temporary things can never fully satisfy. We look at the "broken wells" we often run to, from success and relationships to distraction and comfort, and why they always leave us thirsty again. We unpack a story where Jesus stands up and shouts a promise that living water, the Holy Spirit Himself, can flow to us and through us. If you've ever felt empty even after getting what you wanted, this message is an invitation to drink deeply from the only source that truly satisfies. Speaker: Will Coleman

This week Pastor Seth explores Jesus' words, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” We're challenged to think about what we really want and whether the things we pursue can actually satisfy us.

Dare to follow God fully. The message calls believers to keep a deep thirst for God, like a deer longing for streams, even when trouble brings tears and mockery. It teaches that meditating on God's word and pursuing a personal relationship with the Father leads to deeper dedication and available power.

I open this episode with a story from my childhood: a dam that broke above my uncle's farm, and two California kids who survived the flash flood only because they knew how to surf a wave instead of fighting it. That's exactly how I think about AI right now. It's a massive wave bearing down on all of us, and whether it becomes a wonderful tool or something that crushes us depends entirely on whether we learn to ride it. I walk through what happened when I went from writing off AI-generated code as "laughable" last fall to building real, deployable tools with it today, including the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, a free app that lets you read over a hundred of the world's greatest books in their original languages, from Homer's Greek to modern Japanese.In the second half, I get honest about what it's actually like working with AI day to day. I talk about building "Gentle Reader," a feature that lets language learners dive into real literature with only 70 to 75% vocabulary instead of waiting until they hit 95%, and the surprising detective work it took to get ancient and modern Japanese texts working properly. I also share where AI still struggles: its short-term memory lapses, its tendency to patch symptoms instead of solving root problems, and what my ongoing project to restore Don Quixote from a centuries-old scan taught me about "wisdom of crowds" and a 250-year-old quote from Sir Joshua Reynolds that turned out to apply just as much to machines as it does to us.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) Why I compare AI to a wave that can either be surfed or can crush you, using a story about a dam breaking above my uncle's farm(03:14) How the Andrew Winkler Reading Room lets you read the Odyssey and other classics in their original Greek, with every word's form, meaning, and pronunciation just a click away(06:06) What "Gentle Reader" is and why lowering the vocabulary threshold from 95% to 70-75% makes it possible to start reading real literature much sooner(09:04) Why I chose books like Wizard of Oz, Aesop's Fables in Chinese, and Nicholas Nickleby in Italian to fill gaps where no natural "great work" existed at the right reading level(12:01) What made Japanese the hardest language to build, including the challenge of AI handling ancient versus modern Japanese grammar and meaning shifts(14:54) Why AI models have what I call a "short-term memory slash auditory processing disorder," and how the "Attention Is All You Need" paper changed the game but didn't fully solve it(17:48) What my Don Quixote restoration project, removing decades of ink bleed and yellowing, then building a font from "wisdom of crowds," taught me about AI's tendency to avoid the real labor of thinkingLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

Loneliness isn't just about being alone, it's about being unseen, unwoven, unplaced. This week we name the deep human ache to belong to something larger than ourselves, and ask what it would take to become a community that tends that fire in each other.   LINKS: Keepers of the Fire |  Connect  |  YouTube  |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: The Ache This Week I want to describe a feeling and see if you know what I'm talking about: You're surrounded by people— at work, online, maybe even in a room full of friends— and you still feel somehow... unplaced. Like you're present but not quite part of something. Like everyone else knows how to belong and you missed the orientation. Literally happened to me.  That's not just loneliness in the ordinary sense. It's something deeper. The ache to be woven in. To matter to a specific group of people who also matter to you. To not just be known, but needed. Do you know this feeling? Yeah! Today, on this final week of Keepers of the Fire, I want to name that ache directly. Because I think it might be the one underneath all the others we've explored this summer. One thing; this is actually an ache, a yearning that has gotten a lot of attention.  The Epidemic Three years ago, in 2023, the United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy did something unusual; he issued a formal public health advisory declaring loneliness an epidemic. A crisis. The statistic he cited was that about one in two American adults reported experiencing loneliness— and social isolation increases the risk of premature death by 29 PERCENT. That's comparable to the health impact of smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. We have entire cultural infrastructures built around discouraging smoking. We have almost nothing built around discouraging isolation. And then to make it worse, the money-grabbing internet “manosphere” has very carefully and intentionally targeted young boys and young adult men to believe that they have no agency, and that their feelings of loneliness are the fault of others, like women or the feminist movement! I want to say outright: that's a lie. Loneliness isn't just an issue for boys and men, they've just been most successfully convinced they're especially isolated, and then that false premise has been weaponized against others.  To be clear: loneliness is a problem, but it isn't isolated to a particular group of American adults. Some demographic groups seem to have more access to emotional and relational skills than others… catch my drift? In an interview with Kate Bowler, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said loneliness is like HUNGER or THIRST— a signal the body sends when something we need for survival is missing. This is biology. We were created— literally, neurologically— for each other. Matthew Lieberman, a neuroscientist at UCLA, found that the brain processes social pain— rejection, exclusion, being cut off— in the same regions it processes physical pain. Being unplaced from community doesn't just hurt emotionally. It hurts, the way a broken bone hurts. So when you feel the ache for belonging— that persistent, restless sense that you're APART FROM something you were made to be A PART OF— your nervous system is telling you the truth. Pay attention to it. Belonging vs. fitting in Just a quick tangent here to say that belonging is not the same as fitting in. Fitting in is when you adjust yourself to be ACCEPTABLE. You figure out what the group rewards, what gets you included, and you perform accordingly. It's exhausting. And it doesn't actually satisfy the ache— because the version of you that got accepted isn't really you. Belonging is different. Belonging is when you show up as you ACTUALLY ARE — complicated, unfinished, uncertain — and find that there's a place for that person anyway. That you don't have to earn your way in or maintain a performance to stay. Loneliness isn't just about being alone. It's about being unseen. Unwoven. You can be lonely in a crowd, in a marriage, even in a congregation— if the version of you that's present isn't the real one. The ache for belonging is the ache to stop PERFORMING and start BEING YOURSELF. Bring your weird into the room. Let that freak flag fly, baby. What the early community attempted There's a description in the book of Acts of the earliest Jesus community that has always struck me as both beautiful and worth taking seriously: 'All those who trusted in Jesus were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.' Now, I'm not going to tell you to sell everything and move into a commune (this isn't actually a cult!). But I want to linger here for a moment. In the ancient Greco-Roman world, your identity was determined by your bloodline, your ethnicity, your class, your gender. In Greco-Roman culture, people claimed ethnic identity from ancestors— you were literally born into your customs and beliefs. Religion was in the blood. The idea that people from different ethnic backgrounds, different economic classes, enslaved people alongside free people, women alongside men, could gather at the same table as equals— that was radical. Historically disruptive. The earliest Jesus communities articulated a vision— particularly in Paul's letter to the Galatians: 'neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female'— that cut directly against the social order of their world. Now— did they always live up to it? No. The historical record is honest about that. The vision outran the practice, as it usually does. Early Christianity quickly developed its own in-group dynamics, its own hierarchies, its own failures. This is not a fairy tale. But here's what matters: they attempted something the world around them said was impossible. They tried to build a community where the usual sorting mechanisms— wealth, status, ethnicity, gender— didn't get to have the final word. Where the table was wider than the culture thought was reasonable. That attempt— that stubborn, imperfect attempt— became one of the most transformative ongoing social experiments in human history. Not because they got it perfectly right. But because they kept reaching toward a vision that the world kept calling naive.  Sound familiar? We get to be a part of that legacy. I want that for us. What we're up against Cynicism, though, is alive and well. When someone talks about building systems that actually take care of people — a real safety net, genuine healthcare, communities where everyone has enough — they hear: too expensive. naive. Unrealistic. Even the christian-adjacent politicized wing of the American Church has mostly taken that vision and turned it into an afterlife destination called “Heaven” that has little to do with the here and now, and is only attained through perfect behavior and putting up with unjust systems without reacting to it. When someone talks about the kind of belonging where you don't have to earn your place, where you're welcomed as you are regardless of what you produce or contribute— they hear: that's not how the world works. grow up. When someone talks about the vision Jesus articulated… a world where the hungry are fed, the lonely are placed, the marginalized are centered… they hear: nice idea. impractical. The cynics have always tried to be louder than the dreamers. And the dreamers have always been the ones who got anything done. Here's what I've been thinking about all summer, across these six weeks: the barriers to our yearning are real. The barriers to belonging are real. Some of them are structural; the way adult life is organized makes deep community hard to build. The built-in consistent access we had in school doesn't recreate itself automatically. The institutions that used to create connection have weakened. Many only experience anything resembling that kind of connection as a “perk” of staying employed in the same job long enough. But some of the barriers are internal. I think we can say that, without shame.  We wait. We wait for someone else to organize it. We wait for the perfect moment, the house clean enough to host in, the enough energy, the right invitation. We treat belonging as something that should come find us rather than something we actively, courageously seek out... Priya Parker, who has spent her career studying how and why humans gather (The Art of Gathering), makes this point: when the focus of a gathering is on the 'stuff' of the event, we shrink a human challenge down to a logistical one. The mess isn't what keeps people away. The story we tell ourselves about why now isn't the right time— that's what keeps people away. VIDEO: Priya Parker x Ezra Klein on The Art of Gathering Connection takes courage. Belonging takes risk. Showing up and saying I want to be part of something, and I want you to be part of it with me— that's vulnerable in ways our culture doesn't reward. But it is, I believe, exactly what we were made for.  The barrier practice and the vision As I wrap up here— one question. What gets in the way of your own belonging? What keeps you from reaching toward the connection you actually ache for? Maybe it's a wound— a time you tried and got hurt. Maybe it's the pace of your life. Maybe it's the belief that you're too much, or not enough, or that it's too late to start. Maybe it's the persistent, inculturated voice that says: just be content with what you have. stop wanting more. Whatever it is — write it down. Or draw it. Don't overthink it. Just name it. In a few minutes we're going to take those outside to the fire. And we're going to offer them to it as a symbolic act of saying: I don't want this to have as much power over me as it has. I want to keep reaching. Because here's the vision I want to leave you with— the one that has anchored this whole series for me. Ever heard of the book of Revelation? It's at the tail-end of the Bible, and when read literally, it admittedly sounds insane. But it's not a history book, it's a vision, a poem, a love-letter to a Church positioned against empire dominance— and at the end of it, there's an image of the world finally, fully healed. And here's how it's described: 'God's dwelling place is now among the people.' Among the people. The ache for belonging, finally answered— not by escape from community, but by the deepest possible immersion in it. That's the direction the whole story has been pointing. A world where the hungry are fed and the lonely are placed and the fearful are made safe and the weary finally rest and everyone gets to play and purpose gets to flourish— not someday in a far-off future, but here, practiced imperfectly, begun now, by us. The cynics will always call it naive. You know by now I think that's a compliment. The fire in your belly— The Ache— is not a problem. It's a compass. And the world needs more people willing to follow it together, rather than carrying it alone. Tend the fire. For yourself. For each other. For the world that could be. May it be so.

Blessing Summer: Blessed are Those Who Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness – Matthew 5:6 – August 9, 2026 Simone Weil once wrote: “The danger is not lest the soul should doubt whether there is any bread, but lest, by a lie, it should persuade itself that it is not hungry.” This Sunday join us for an honest conversation about the way Jesus blesses those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (sometimes translated "justice"). And stay after for our usual 2nd-Sunday-of-the-month potluck, themed in August around summer brunch favorites!

Psalm 63

You'll never find lasting satisfaction if you're feeding your soul with the wrong things.This week on The Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby explain that every person is driven by deep spiritual hunger, and true joy is found only when we hunger and thirst for God's righteousness instead of the empty promises of this world.For more episodes of The Connecting Podcast, visit PaulTripp.com/Connecting.

My guest was born in Ukraine then moved to Russia with her family. At 16, Natasha felt the need for some sort of spiritual connection in her life.  Neither her mother or father believed in traditional religious beliefs, so she started attending services in different temples and churches. But it wasn't until she met Rachelle, that my guest was encouraged to find her own calling. Rachelle did not  persuade Natasha to do anything specific in life, yet there was a mutual interest in caring for children who did not have families of their own. Natasha was so taken with Rachelle's sincerity and concern. Rachelle was actually one of the very first adults to ask Natasha personal questions. "She gave me a lot of hope and comfort by just being there. And because she was there, I   always had hope and ideas of what would be next in life. Rachelle is very personal. She feels very deeply and when someone shares their story, she's ready to feel it, cry with them, laugh with them says Natasha. Natasha is very happy to be living in a more remote area now with her family. She's cooking up a storm and you can find her recipes and tricks of the kitchen trade on her social media pages-links are below.   I hope you enjoy this conversation. Natasha has such a warm demeanor that I felt as though I was sitting with her in her kitchen  in Hungary.   MORE INFORMATION ABOUT NATASHA FROM HER WEBSITE:WEBSITE:https://www.natashashome.com/ From World Traveler to a Home Cook Welcome to Natasha's Home! My husband, Krisztian and I currently live in Eastern Europe in Hungary. We recently welcomed a little baby girl into our family! I was born in Ukraine, grew up in Russia, but have been all over the world in the last 7 years. I think I visited around 13 countries in my journey as a Christian missionary (what an adventure that was!). My husband and I first met at a local Hungarian orphanage where we were spending time with the kids as a part of a missionary team, and little did I know that this town I was “just passing by” was going to be my future home! After getting married I started learning more about cooking and homemaking, and it is no less of a journey than I had before! As I discover new recipes, kitchen hacks, tips, and tricks that help me become a better home cook, I love to share them with you so that you can be inspired and learn a bunch yourself!

Have you ever felt threatened and vulnerable, desperate to feel safe?In our Psalms 59-67 Bible study, we open with a Psalm David wrote while men were literally waiting outside his house to kill him. As we travel through the other psalms, David moves from total exhaustion, fear, and desert dry spells into an unquenchable thirst for God's presence. If you've ever felt trapped, targeted by cruel words, or completely isolated at the "ends of the earth," David's prayers will hit you right where you are. But this nine-psalm journey doesn't end in survival mode. As the danger passes, the tone shifts to wild praise, staggering abundance, and a blessing meant to ripple across time and space.In our Psalms 59-67 Bible study, we cover:[4:01] Psalm 59: Escaping the Hitmen – How David survives being trapped in his own home while Saul's men wait outside to kill him, and why his immediate reaction is to run to God as his fortress.[9:34] Psalm 60-61: Reaching the "Ends of the Earth" – What it really means for David to cry out from the edge of exhaustion and exile, and how we can find personal refuge when God feels miles away.[13:00] Psalm 62: The Power of Akh (God Alone) – Why David repeatedly uses one specific word to remind himself that true safety and salvation rest in Christ alone, not in human effort.[16:41] Psalm 63: Thirsting in the Desert – How David's physical thirst in the dry wilderness unlocked a deeper spiritual longing and how Jesus quenches that same soul-dryness with living water.[20:19] Psalm 64: Surviving Cruel Words – How to handle modern-day "tongues like swords" and malicious public attacks when people try to bring you down.[28:06] Psalms 65-67: Shining God's Light, Not Ours – The Aaronic blessing gets flipped on its head, reminding us we pray for God's favor, not for our own comfort, so the entire world can see His goodness.Psalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideGroup Discussion Questions for Psalms 59-67[5:24] In Psalm 59, David can't do anything but run and rely on God to be his fortress. Where in your life do you find yourself on the run, unfairly attacked, or trapped? How could you lean more on God to be your fortress and protector?[16:47] David thirsts for God, and his whole being longs to know God, see God, and be in the presence of God. Have you ever felt such a deep longing for God? What prayer could you offer asking God to help you thirst for Him the way David did?[28:44] Psalm 67 asks God to make His face shine on us so that all nations will know His ways and salvation. This is still the purpose of God's favor in our lives today. In all we do, whether in suffering or in prosperity, we should reflect God's glory so others can see the hope of Christ in us.

What are you truly hungry and thirsty for? The world offers countless things that promise satisfaction, yet they always leave us wanting more. In today's episode, we'll discover what it means to genuinely thirst for God and why knowing Christ is worth more than anything this world can offer. Join us as we explore David's passionate longing for God in Psalms 42 and 63 and Paul's testimony in Philippians 3, where he declares that everything else is worthless compared to knowing Jesus Christ. When our greatest desire becomes God's presence, our lives begin to change from the inside out.

In the final week of our series, Anchored: A Journey Through Isaiah 55, Pastor Patrick teaches from Isaiah 55:12–13. To a weary and discouraged nation living in exile, God promised the Israelites that He could take what had been ruined and create something with purpose again. He promised they would go out with joy and be led forth in peace. That same promise of restoration, joy, and peace is still extended to us through Jesus today. Check out the sermon to learn more!

I'm digging into something that's genuinely changed how I spend my free time: using AI to build the tool I've wished existed for decades, one that helps me read the world's great literature in its original language. I tell the story of a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow who turned out to be a major figure at Anthropic, and how that connection eventually led me back to a project I'd tried and abandoned before, a computer-assisted reader for Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. Six months ago, the AI models I tried couldn't get past writing a single working line of code. This time was different, and I walk through exactly what changed, what these models are actually good at, and where they still fall apart.I also get into the weeds a bit, sharing my process for getting better results out of these tools, why my public writing on Quora turns out to matter, and a wild multi-round debugging session with Gemini that kept insisting it had "finally" found all the bugs. I close with a personal aside into a physics insight I've been chasing since the 1970s, and how an AI helped me push it further, even if I lost most of the conversation to a very avoidable software glitch. Along the way I make my case for why AI right now is best thought of as a tireless, brilliant, but occasionally hallucinating army of interns, not a replacement for human judgment.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) How a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow connected to Anthropic changed my skepticism about the current state of AI(03:37) Why I've always wished a computer could do the tedious lexical lookup work of reading Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts(06:35) What large language models actually are under the hood, and why they can "spout like an idiot" and "pontificate like a sage" with equal ease(08:57) The multi-round debugging saga where Gemini kept insisting it had found the last bug, and the last bug, and the last bug(11:48) What gets lost in translation, using the hidden joke behind Don Quixote's horse Rocinante as an example(14:43) Inside the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, from the Septuagint to Shakespeare, and why computers and humans make a great reading team(17:10) My feature requests for Google and Apple after losing valuable AI conversations to a silent clipboard failure(19:36) Why I think of AI right now as an army of knowledgeable but wisdom-less interns, and what that means for companies rushing to replace workers with it(22:01) The physics insight I've been sitting on since the 1970s, and how AI helped me extend it into the standard model(24:28) What was lost when my breakthrough AI conversation on unit-free physics vanished, and why I'm sharing the story anywayLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

Get ready for a fun interview today on BEHIND THE LENS as I talk with writer/director and composer ERIC OWEN about his latest film IN A COLD VEIN. While we dig into the making of IN A COLD VEIN, we also have a lot of fun talking cats, duct tape, and blood. And my regular readers and listeners know how much I love talking duct tape and excessive use of blood in films. IN A COLD VEIN is Eric's sophomore directorial following his debut feature in 2023, THIRST. I'll tell you right now, I see growth in his filmmaking with IN A COLD VEIN, notably with the technical elements and using the tools in the toolbox. IN A COLD VEIN has a very simple plot – Dean is kidnapped and left for dead. Who kidnapped him, how, and why are the questions that unfold as the story progresses. Desperation takes hold as Dean unleashes a firestorm of vengeance to find his 9-year-old son, who is missing. But the truth behind the conspiracy is a shocking betrayal that may cost him everything. Written and directed by Eric Owen, IN A COLD VEIN stars, among others, Evan Gamble as Dean, Brian Villalobos and P. Michael Hayes as kidnappers Phil and Steve, Marc Pouhe, Mor Cohen, Cliff Dean, and Steve Brudniak as a trucker named Chuck. On the production side, Josh Taylor delivers on lighting and lensing while Samantha McDanel builds tension and suspense with the film's editing. Nihar Gagneja dazzles with the film's sound design and mix with a celebration of silence. And as mentioned, Eric is also the film's composer. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

When we’re physically thirsty, we know that a cool glass of water will quench that need. But when we’re spiritually dry, we often look in all the wrong places, trying one thing after another to quiet the longing inside us. Eventually, we realize that the things we pursue simply cannot fill the ache within. Then […]

Great brands do more than meet a need. They transform that need into desire. But in an increasingly crowded and fragmented media landscape, how can brands earn attention, turn that attention into affection, and ultimately inspire people to act?Recorded live at the Havas Café during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, this special roundtable is the first in a three-part series exploring the many dimensions of desire. Jim is joined by three marketing leaders approaching that challenge from very different industries: Manu Orssaud, Chief Marketing Officer at Duolingo;Benoit Vatere, Chief Media and Digital Commerce Officer at Liquid Death; and Oliver Walker-Jones, who leads Marketing, Communications and Brand at Joby Aviation.Together, they explore how modern brands use media to create lasting desire. Manu shares how Duolingo combines planned cultural moments with the flexibility to build stories alongside its community. The conversation explores why fun is an underrated business advantage, how brands can move quickly without chasing every cultural moment, and where AI can strengthen a company without replacing the human creativity behind great marketing. —This week's episode is brought to you by Havas and Infillion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles reveal what they argue is Donald Trump's true guiding principle: not policy, power, or ideology, but an unrelenting pursuit of attention. From Trump's NATO performance and the mystery surrounding his abandoned Qatari "Grift Force One" to the latest twists in E. Jean Carroll's legal victory, they examine how personality continues to shape the presidency. They also break down the collapse of Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Plattner's campaign, what it says about authenticity in modern politics, and the growing intrigue surrounding Mitch McConnell's unexplained absence from public view. Along the way, Wolff offers fresh reporting from inside Trump's orbit and argues that understanding Trump's psychology remains the key to understanding the decisions that keep reshaping American politics.

America celebrated its 250th Independence Day beneath the shadow of Mount Rushmore, where patriotism, history, and the promise of liberty took center stage. But while fireworks lit the sky, another battle continues to unfold—one over the soul of the nation.On this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe examines what he argues is the steady ideological shift toward collectivism and centralized government, asking whether America is witnessing a quiet march toward communist-style policies hidden beneath modern political rhetoric.Joe also breaks down the political storm surrounding California Governor Gavin Newsom, including reports tied to a widening federal corruption investigation involving members of his political circle. The discussion explores allegations that longtime political insider Alexis Podesta cooperated with federal investigators and reportedly recorded conversations while working with the FBI—raising new questions about loyalty, influence, and what could come next. These developments remain part of an ongoing investigation, and not all allegations have been proven in court.Then, Joe welcomes Greg Lopez, former United States Representative from Colorado, for a candid conversation about the future of the Republican Party, border security, election integrity, and what it will take to preserve constitutional government in the years ahead. Welcome to Joe Oltmann Untamed.
