Church on the Go is a ministry of Messiah Church in Plymouth, MN. We're so glad you've joined us for this casual church service you can take with you wherever you are! This week, our message is: Thomas - Thomas expressed his doubt about the resurrection of Jesus and then did something counterintuitive. He held his doubt while remaining in the community of faith. Doubt is sure to be present in the community of faith, but rather than leave and give up on faith during times of doubt, we can stay and let the community hold faith for us. God's presence in such communities can enable a resurrection of a new and deeper faith --- Welcome to Messiah Church. We've been waiting for you! Messiah is an inclusive community of people who have come alongside each other to love as Jesus did: loving God, loving each other, and putting that love to work in the world.

Chelsea and Kevin sit down with co-founder and VP of strategy at SocialQ Agency, Thomas Soares, to talk about what it means to “get it right,” especially when it comes to social media. How we can show up authentically, empathetically, with resonance, and not offend or hurt anyone is a major concern for many of us as we post on social media, yet is it really possible? And Thomas asks us all the question, do we really want to get it right all the time?    More about Thomas: Thomas' passion for digital marketing strategy comes from a deep empathy and curiosity for how people think and interact with each other and brands. With over 10 years of hybrid strategy and account experience across big brands like Spotify, Coca-Cola, Adobe, P&G, and countless start-ups across D2C, Thomas has seen the shift towards 360 ecosystem strategy and operations it takes to resonate and reach today's consumer.   Instagram: @socialqagency Facebook: @socialqagency LinkedIn: SocialQ Agency Website: socialq.us

Ich hoffe, ihr habt die Weihnachtsfeiertage gut überstanden und seid gut ins neue Jahr gerutscht. Für die Episode 11 war es mal wieder ein „virtueller” Besuch über Zoom“. Ich habe mich mit Thomas Knickmeier und Thomas Steinforth von der Hoffmann Rennstaffel unterhalten.Beide kennt ihr vielleicht auch als Mitglieder des Orgateams des Zementbahnrennens, welches 2015 bzw. 2022 auf der Zementradrennbahn in Darmstadt stattgefunden hat. Ich kannte beide persönlich noch nicht so gut, das hat sich jetzt durch die Aufnahme der Episode 11 geändert.Wir haben uns über die Ursprünge der Rennstaffel unterhalten und wie es zu dieser ungeraden Zahl von 57 Mitglieder gekommen ist. Was im Detail dahinter steckt, erfahrt ihr innerhalb der Episode. Auf manche wirkt der Verein von außen vielleicht wie ein elitärer Klub, dem ist aber gar nicht so. Er ist eine wirklich buntgemischte Gemeinschaft jeglicher Couleur, die zusammen das Thema Rohrlenker fröhnen - und zwar Rohrlenker, welche vor 1958 gebaut wurden.Der Blechgedanken -Podcast ist übrigens auf folgenden Plattformen hörbar:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gXyCMSq5s7ZJow0psnPoEApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blechgedanken-geschichten-rund-um-die-vespacommunity/id1620685337Amazon Music;:https://music.amazon.de/podcasts/768b4879-7e50-41c2-8cdc-4ea69d7001db/blechgedanken---geschichten-rund-um-die-vespacommunityGoogle:https://podcasts.google.com/search/BlechgedankenMehr zu den Blechgedanken unter: https://podcast.blechgedanken.deLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/blechgedanken/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blechgedanken/Kontakt und mehr Infos zu den einzelnen Podcasts gibt es auf der Webseite: https://podcast.blechgedanken.de

Les français étaient jusqu'à plus de 29 millions, au pic le plus important, devant leur écran pour suivre hier la finale de la Coupe du Monde. Un match que beaucoup qualifie d'historique tant les deux équipes ont su tenir le public en haleine jusqu'à la dernière minute où celle d'Argentine viendra remporter la fameuse coupe. Mais alors, n'étions-nous pas censés boycotter cette compétition sportive pour protester contre son organisation par un pays qui bafoue les droits humains et qui, on l'a vu ces derniers jours, va même jusqu'à corrompre des élus pour venir faire de l'ingérence dans les politiques européennes? Dans cette vidéo, notre journaliste Cemil Sanli a choisi de revenir sur l'épisode hautement politique qu'à été ce mondial de football au Qatar. Avec ses invités, Charlotte Thomas (Docteure en sciences politiques et collaboratrice parlementaire LIF-Nupes), Sandrine Rousseau (député EELV-Nupes de Paris) et Thomas Dietrich (journaliste), ils se posent une première question: pourquoi le boycott n'a pas fonctionné? Puis d'autres. Quels sont les intérêts politiques du Qatar, mais aussi de la France? Ou encore plus précisément du président français qui aura eu une attitude fortement critiquée sur les réseaux et dans certains médias? L'occasion de parler sport, écologie, social et politique ainsi que de l'attitude fortement critiquée du chef de l'Etat qui, de la tribune à la pelouse, en passant par les vestiaires, illustre une volonté d'omniprésence qui pourrait traduire une récupération politique. ▶ Soutenez Le Média :

313: People who “yes-butt” you. People who resist exposure. Does God exist? Does the “self” exist? How to you justify Ellis?  "Should" we care about Putin's war on Ukraine? " 1. Rhonda asks: How can you respond to someone who yes-butts you? 2. Thomas asks: Do we have a self? Does God exist? 3. Thomas also asks: Ellis said we should upset ourselves over someone else's problems, but how about Putin, and Russia? Note: The answers below were generated prior to the podcast, and the information provided on the live podcast may be richer and different in a number of ways. 1. Rhonda asks: How can you respond to someone who yes-butts you? David's Reply Thanks, Rhonda. We can demonstrate this with Matt on the podcast recording later today! Matt's Reply: The answer is to fall back to Empathy and try to see how we are creating the problem.  For example, when we are giving advice, we may have fallen into a trap, in which we are getting ahead of their resistance and would want to get behind it. As often happens, the question, and its answer, went in an unexpected direction. Rhonda, like many therapists, noticed that one of her social anxiety patients was subtly resisting exposure—facing her fears. Matt and Rhonda model how to respond to patients who keep putting off the exposure. This answer illustrates how therapists and the general public alike can improve your use of the Five Secrets of Effective Communication (LINK) with the use of “Deliberate Practice,” with role reversals and immediate feedback on your technique. Rhonda starts with a low grade, and then rapidly achieves an A grade! Click here for the Five Secrets of Effective Communication 2. Thomas asks: Do we have a self? Does God exist? Thank you for giving me your time and attention. I appreciate it, even if we don't agree. I have talked about whether or not God and the self exist. David Hume made the argument about not having a self, only perception. Of course, questions arise if we don't have a “self.” Thomas Thomas also comments on Nathaniel Brandon: Why do we use the words who? Him? Her? He she they.?? I certainly don't believe Nathaniel Brandon's horseshit. He talks about a teenage self, a father self, and a child self And all that is just horseshit. But do we have any self? David's response: Hi Thomas, Thanks for your question! You ask, “But do we have any self?” You ask about God, too. People have been asking for my chapter on the “Death of the Self,” and my efforts to debunk the idea of a “self.” I have not had the time and motivation to bring that chapter back to life, since it is so hard for people to “get” what I've been trying to say, which is exactly what Wittgenstein and the Buddha were trying to say. But I will try to share one idea with you, in the hopes that it might make sense. As I have previously suggested, these questions about some “self” or “God” have no meaning. For example, how about this question: ‘What would it look like if someone had no ‘self?' What, exactly, are we talking about? I know what this question means: “So you think Henry is too high on himself.” This means that we think some person named Henry is arrogant or narcissistic, something like that, and we want to know if someone agrees with us. I understand this question, it makes sense. There is a distinct difference between people who are quite humble and folks who are overly impressed with themselves. So, we are talking and using words in a way that has meaning and makes sense. However, I cannot answer the following question because it does not make any sense to me: “Does Henry have a ‘self'?” So, this question, to me, is language that is out of gear, like a car in neutral gear. No matter how hard you press on the accelerator, it will not move forward or backward. If you cannot “see” or “grasp” the difference between my examples of a meaningful question and a nonsensical non-question, that's okay. In my experience, few people can grasp or “get” this. But to me, the difference is quite obvious. Is it okay if I use your email as a somewhat edited “Ask David?” I can change your name if you prefer. I don't think people will “get” my answer, but hope springs eternal! David Matt's Response Many brilliant minds have addressed this question in more eloquent and thorough ways than I could, including the Stanford-trained neurologist and philosopher, Sam Harris, in his book, ‘Free Will' and Jay Garfield in his book, ‘Losing Ourselves' There's very little I can say, about this topic, that hasn't been said more eloquently by individuals like these and many others. Meanwhile, I'm glad that this question has arisen on the podcast because I see clinical utility in the implications of this question, including in the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger, narcissistic pride and relationship problems. For example, I might be thinking, ‘I'm so mad at my (bad) self for eating all those cookies'.  Or, I'm so proud of myself for making a million dollars'.  I might start to think I deserve more, because of my special self and feel superior and angry, ‘that persons (bad self) shouldn't have cut me off in traffic!'. When we take the ‘self' out of the equation, we realize that these thoughts don't make sense.  If our brains are just following the laws of physics, without any self, jumping in there to influence the process, then we couldn't have done differently, with the brains we had, and neither could anyone else. Hence, the idea that people have ‘selves', which can be good or bad, make decisions and the like, is a setup for suffering.  In the cookie example, I would have to train my brain, through practice with therapy methods, to develop a different set of habits, rewiring of my brain, to reach for a salad rather than a cookie.  I can't simply insist that my ‘self' rewire my brain for me.  I'd have to practice and do my TEAM therapy homework! Anger and Narcissism are some of the hardest-to-defeat problems.  However, realizing other people are simply doing what their brains are programmed to do, takes away the anger and blame.  Just like we wouldn't hold a grudge for years against a wild animal that bit us, we could also forgive and accept a person who bit us.   and we can't feel unnecessarily superior or proud of our ‘self' if we accomplish something wonderful, because we don't' have a ‘self' that did those things, just a brain and the right environment, neither of which we can take credit for. This approach is called ‘reattribution' in TEAM, which is useful for defeating ‘self-blame' and ‘other (self) blame'. Here are some other methods to leverage the no-self concept and free your mind of this hazardous way of thinking: 1. Experimental Technique:  Try to define what a ‘self' is.  Then conduct an experiment to see whether the self is capable of doing the things you think it can do.  For example, can your ‘self' stop understanding the words you are seeing on this page?  Or does your brain helplessly decipher the shapes of these letters into meaningful sounds and language?  Can your self exert its free will to decide to focus exclusively on one thing for one minute, like your breath or a point on the wall?    It can't.  If your self can't do such simple tasks, what can it do?  One can see meditation as a kind of ‘experiment' to see whether our ‘self' is calling the shots, using its free will, or if our brains are just doing what brains do. 2. Socratic Questioning: You can ask questions that can't be answered to show that the ‘self' is more like a ‘unicorn' than a cat.  For example, how big is the ‘self'?  What's it made of? Where is it located?  Can you see it on a MRI?  No radiologist has ever visualized a ‘self' and you probably realize you can't answer these questions, any more than you can, ‘what do Unicorns like to eat?', bringing us closer to understanding that it's probably a made up thing. 3. Examine the Evidence: What evidence is there that there's a Self?  What evidence is there that there is no self? On the latter side, Consider Occam's Razor, which suggests that the better hypothesis is the simpler one which still explains the observations.  One hypothesis is we have a brain generating consciousness.  Another hypothesis is that we have a brain that generates consciousness and a self that is having those experiences, operating the brain.  Based on Occam's Razor, the better hypothesis is the former, that we have a brain creating consciousness. 4. Outcome Resistance: People get scared off by the idea that there's no self or free will, that their brain is making decisions, without a self intervening.  In Christian Tradition, for example, Thomas Aquinas essentially invented the concept of ‘free will' so that God's punishment of Adam and Eve could be explained, morally. Otherwise, God would seem rather cruel, to create a system where he knew that would happen.  This is an example of how ‘free will' and the ‘self' are linked to blame and anger. Even if you don't believe in God, you might be concerned that the idea that there is no free will would mean that the criminal justice system would fall apart.  Criminals could say, ‘I had no choice'.  Talking back to these elements of ‘resistance' could help free one's mind. For example, without free will, it's true that blaming other people and retaliatory justice wouldn't make sense.  However, one could still enforce laws, only in a compassionate way, for the sake of protecting others making the same mistake.  A murderer, if they realized this, could mind meaning in fulfilling their sentence, realizing they were doing a service to humanity, rather than being punished for their bad self.  Instead of seeing other people as having ‘bad' selves, we can have a sense of sadness, connection and concern, even with a murderer, when carrying out justice, understanding that, ‘there but for the grace of God, go I'. David mentions, in passing, a mild red flag with the concept of "free will." He points out that this is another concept, like "God" or the "self," that has no meaning, if you really grasp what Ludwig Wittgenstein was trying to say in his classic book, Philosophical Investigations. One way to "see" this, although it is admittedly almost impossible to "see:" because it is so simple and obvious, would be to ask yourself, "What would it look like if we "had" something called "free will?" And what would it look like if we "didn't?" The question is NOT "do we have free will," but rather, "Does this concept have any meaning? Once you suddenly "see" that the answer is no, you will be liberated from many philosophical dilemmas. But as they say, enlightenment can be a lonely road! the Buddha, as well as Wittgenstein, ran into this problem that people could not "grasp" the simple and obvious things they were trying so hard to say! As humans, we get spellbound by the words we using, thinking that nouns, like "self," must refer to some "thing" that either exists or doesn't exist! To my way of thinking the question is NOT "Does god exist" or "do human have free will," but rather, do these questions make sense? Do they mean anything? The answer, to my way of thinking (DB), is no. However, . . . you might not "get" this! 3. Thomas also asks about Dr. Albert Ellis Hi David, Do you agree with Ellis that one is better off without making oneself upset over other people's problems? What about Putin and Russia and all the violence, another mass shooting, and trump running for president again? Ellis didn't think one should be disturbed about these things. Or at least upset. What do you think? David's reply Hi Thomas: Here's my take. Healthy and appropriate negative feelings exist! One SHOULD be upset by horrific war crimes. I suspect that if Beck and Ellis, were they still alive, they would both strongly agree, but of course, I cannot speak for them! Thanks for listening today! Matt, Rhonda, and David!

Oh man, this one has been a long time coming. the seed was planted by Thomas Thomas. Lame. If you don't know Mr. Thomas lame, you're gonna get to know him, uh, super deep intellect, excitement around systems thinking and the theory of constraints. Uh, the seed was planted back when Felipe and I were recording the collab sessions on the lean builder.He dropped a little comment on the chat and we went ahead and challenged him to go ahead. Jump in and record a collabo session of the goal. And I don't know, maybe it's been a year, since then, but we did it  I gotta let you know, like, this is not the only recording.  We got several episodes because the book is like 20, 30 something odd chapters. Uh, and we're not just rereading the book. The amazing thing is that Thomas began reading this.he actually put the stuff that he was learning into practice on the job side, like on the job side that he was the superintendent of, I think it was in San Francisco. and what's even more special that I think we're just super fortunate is that he was keeping no, he was journaling about the experience about what he was learning from the book about what he was applying in the field and what he learned from the applic.And so really what this is, is Thomas' translation of the book, the concepts, the ideas that are in the book into construction language, into like real life application of this stuff in the construction industry, which is super damn excited.

Pastor Bill: [0:00] Hello and welcome to season 3 episode 65 of The Berean Manifesto; Faith, Hope, and Love for the Modern Christian. I'm Pastor Bill, and I'm joined by Pastor Newms. Pastor Newms: [0:12] Hello I am Pastor Newms. Pastor Bill: [0:14] And we are currently in a time of mourning, we've lost someone that was very special to us. His name was Bloodwing. Pastor Newms: [0:26] Gosh we're going to go here right away. Pastor Bill: [0:29] And he has done broke my heart. Pastor Newms: [0:33] Spoiler alert for if you have. Pastor Bill: [0:35] Handsome Jack Must Die. Pastor Newms: [0:37] Um in Borderlands 1 when we were playing through on Gaming With The Pastors, Pastor Bill or Pastor Thete as he's also known played as a character called Mordecai. Mordecai has a pet named blood Wing. Blood Wing is basically, you could view it as kind of a falconer only it's not a falcon it's something else, and he would throw it out and it would go and attack the enemy and it saved our butts on more than one occasion, well when we get to Borderlands 2 all the characters from Borderlands 1 are NPCs, those NPCs are then just story people as opposed to the people that were playing as, so we're playing through it and I knew it was coming and I couldn't say anything because I knew it would be worse if he knew off the front and, really sad knowing what was going to happen and yes Biggs we will get to that in a moment, um so we start the story everything's going well everything's going good we go into an area where Mordecai is, and he's complaining because Handsome Jack who's the bad guy of Borderlands 2, the villain and they do a very good job of making you hate him through the whole story and it just gets worse and worse this is one of the Pinnacle Point. Here, does some scientific experimentation on blood wing and you spend the fight trying to tranq him and save him and you do and then the moment it  happens, Handsome Jack presses a button that blows blood Wings head off, if you were watching which most of you were not because most of you are listening to this as a podcast as opposed to watch, on Twitter live or anything else if you happen to go back and watch that on my twitch there was towards the end of our last stream which was the stream from to, five. There was just silence on Bill side and its really bad because there were some foreshadowing, Bill is like oh man right there is where it says we have to go and there's a red dot which means if we have to fight blood Wing I'm going to get real upset and I was like nah that's not what that is because it wasn't yet, and so he was like okay good and then we move forward and I'm going crap this is gonna suck so bad, and it did and so now, I would fully expect the next week they will be a lot of streaming because Bill wants some hardcore vengeance, against Handsome Jack in so many ways which is really cute to a certain degree because those of us that are hardcore gamers. We've experienced this too many times you get super invested in a character and then it died, I'll never forget there was one game, I cannot remember the name of the game to save my life but it was for the Xbox 360 and it was an RPG and you chose which characters you wanted to play as and I put all my points into this one character and then they just the Overflow points into the others, and in the last boss battle he sacrifices himself and, then I'm stuck with three other characters I can play as that are completely underpowered and, I'll never forget it and, sadly Pastor Bill has just dealt with the loss of a game character that affected him hard and I feel terrible but we will continue playing it, we will complete the story of Borderlands 2 Pastor Bill has been begging me, this afternoon and evening to tell him that we get to kill Handsome Jack to which I have responded and subject story does end, but that is all I said and he is not happy with me but that's okay. Pastor Bill: [4:57] So I found a Borderlands 3 candle today, rose-scented but I didn't buy it it was like 20 bucks that's too much to spend on a. Little candle in the. Pastor Newms: [5:17] Gross so our shirts today with no planning. Pastor Bill: [5:23] Unplanned no planning and we didn't plan that. Pastor Newms: [5:25] Pastor Bill is wearing a shirt that has the Justice League on it and I am wearing a shirt that has Marvel on it, which is pretty much just the Avengers but it's not technically an Avenger shirt so yes, as Biggs pointed out we are sporting the DC versus Marvel which is a Crux of our relationship as best friends for years because Billiam is a DC guy and I am, not so, I believe Marvel is better I will say DC. did a much better job with all of their kids programming than Marvel ever has and they have done a better. Pastor Bill: [6:08] And Marvel's done better with the theatrical then DC ever has. Pastor Newms: [6:11] Marvel's done better with the theatrical and the comics because the best DC Comics were actually done by Dark Horse and Frank Miller and people like that not actually DC Comics in my opinion. Pastor Bill: [6:25] Except for you know the whole Return of the Hulk made-for-tv movie in the 80s where Hulk meets Thor. Pastor Newms: [6:31] That was a bad one that was a bad one that was a real bad. Pastor Bill: [6:36] All right so how was your week pastor newms. Pastor Newms: [6:38] Week was pretty good work is super busy and so that is that is taking up a lot of my time even little more than it's normal, 825 ish time periods which is okay you have weeks that ebb and flow when your salary, and so that's cool played a good amount of games groggy came over this weekend or the best as he is currently logged in on Twitch because, two Twitter accounts. Pastor Bill: [7:12] He's the best around. Pastor Newms: [7:14] So spent today playing a couple of board games. Pastor Bill: [7:18] I reached a little a little too ambitious Lee for that. Pastor Newms: [7:20] You did you did. So they you know it was kind of fun we had some fun I made soup made my potato soup because food with good soup, so yeah it was pretty good how was your week. Pastor Bill: [7:42] Well other than the loss of a friend. Pastor Newms: [7:45] Oh my gosh. Pastor Bill: [7:46] It's been all right there was the snow storm that blew through so there was a lot of time at home, and Gerg didn't have school Thursday and Friday which was nice that meant a couple of mornings that I got to, can I sleep in some except then the littlest one got sick we're pretty sure it's strep throat. Pastor Newms: [8:05] Oh Pastor Bill: [8:09] We're going to take him to the doctor first thing tomorrow morning. Pastor Newms: [8:12] Because he's still not feeling good. Pastor Bill: [8:14] Well he's still got I mean you can visibly see the stuff back there in his mouth with a flashlight so we're going to go see about getting him some, antibiotics or something to try to rush the healing process on that so yeah, so this is what my week has been like which has been, cool I guess other than the sick guy and the you know the death of blood with, um but he always cool having the snow getting to see my littlest one, get snow for the first time at such a young age my my youngest daughter didn't have real snow until she was five and even then it was like half the amount of this snowstorm. Pastor Newms: [9:04] It's Texas snow so it's when it's there's not a lot of it it's not any good. Pastor Bill: [9:09] Yeah but but this was real real real snow like real real like you make a snowball and you throw it and it actually explodes snow not you make is no longer a threat somewhere in there like dude that literally turned into a chunk of ice before it got to me, you literally just pelted me with a big chunk of ice, yeah so that yeah that's how my week was yeah okay so now it's time for getting another pastors, and we are on an odd is that the right word odd. Pastor Newms: [9:45] Are we on and on. Pastor Bill: [9:46] If even if oven. Pastor Newms: [9:50] It's easy evens and odds. Pastor Bill: [9:53] Even some of the right words Wyman Todd. Pastor Newms: [9:54] Yes are you having a stroke. Pastor Bill: [9:58] That happened the other night I could win to go sing the night at song and I couldn't remember the word night and it's the first word of the song and so I was like Nick yeah. Nah. Yeah so that was interesting it was interesting evening okay here we go what characteristic are you most known for. Pastor Newms: [10:29] I don't know, because being known for something means other people know it so I don't know. I don't like that at all. Pastor Bill: [10:50] Yeah you more might say you even hate that. Pastor Newms: [10:58] Very well done very well done very well done good good segment good segment where do you best known for characteristic are you best known for past. Pastor Bill: [11:09] Oh man I'm best known for being overly emotional and unpredictable. And what does your dad say I'm getting old. Is it the gray hair or the Dentures or what is it. Pastor Newms: [11:33] Yes as well as the as well as the way you laugh now is different than it was when you were younger. Pastor Bill: [11:41] I thought our boys left leg. Pastor Newms: [11:42] No you have it like an old man laughter sometimes. Pastor Bill: [12:00] -8 sure yeah. Pastor Newms: [12:03] Haha you're 40 I'm best known on the podcast for three things saying yes that's valid and that comes from before most of y'all ever listened, that that joke came from and then the other thing that I am oh because he's having a stroke because you can't speak. Pastor Bill: [12:22] Stronk. Pastor Newms: [12:24] The other thing I'm very much known for and I joke about this even outside of here which is how far into the podcast, how do I make it without blaming it on the English language. Pastor Bill: [12:38] Mmm. Pastor Newms: [12:39] Or Microsoft for having technical issues I'm blaming it on Microsoft. Pastor Bill: [12:46] I think you're a pretty equal technology blamer you can pretty much pick out the weaknesses in any technology and be like see this is why that's not great this this this this. Pastor Newms: [12:57] Usually it's this is why I hate this particular software. Pastor Bill: [13:03] Trying to avoid that word because we've already covered that aspect. Pastor Newms: [13:06] But I definitely am really good at blaming the English language for things and. Pastor Bill: [13:14] Indubitably. Pastor Newms: [13:15] Even at work often I'm having to blame the English language because the English language just doesn't mean the same thing for people, especially when dealing with software versus heart health care, I'm Healthcare software is very interesting because some of the very same language that's used in healthcare is used in software meaning completely different things and so, there's often communication issues between clinicians provider service people the business and in the markets that we work in and our technical people because the words just mean different things to those people, the same words which other languages doesn't have that issue, you look at German and their words are basically just long explanations for what a thing is so you don't have that issue as much in other languages. Pastor Bill: [14:21] Zener schnitzel well what does that mean it means meat in tube V nurses. Pastor Newms: [14:28] It's it's, not hot dog or sausage because sausage can mean like eight different things here anyway I'm at work I'm becoming known as a food guy. Pastor Bill: [14:46] Oh Pastor Newms: [14:46] Because no not a foodie just a guy that eats food because. Pastor Bill: [14:49] Not a foodie oh. Pastor Newms: [14:52] People will I'm someone who stress eats a lot so during my work day I eat, and so people will be will be in meetings or other things and someone will say something about food and because I love food, I will start talking about food at the other day someone said I've been with the company about four months and just over four months and the one of the people I work with closely a lot because Jonathan didn't you just, derail the last meeting talking about food and I was like look I didn't bring it up I didn't start it. Pastor Bill: [15:33] You mean the meeting we had an hour ago with this same group of people that we talked about this same. Pastor Newms: [15:38] No no it was it was. Pastor Bill: [15:39] There was no need for us to have another meeting. Pastor Newms: [15:41] It was a valid different meaning. Pastor Bill: [15:44] Oh okay. Pastor Newms: [15:45] And that was the funny thing was the only people that were the same on the meeting was me and her, and we're working to different parts of the company but we were the only ones that were the same and so it very much was like yeah I did that. Pastor Bill: [16:01] All right so. Pastor Newms: [16:02] So yeah those are the things I'm known for I guess. Pastor Bill: [16:06] Tonight we're talking about Thomas and I gave you no time to prepare for this I apologize, you asked me yesterday what are we talking about and I said I said I think we're talking about Thomas that's all I told you. Pastor Newms: [16:25] So you can't see it so I've got to tell you you said tonight we're talking about Thomas right. And the best groggy said I doubt it. Pastor Bill: [16:42] When I see it. Pastor Newms: [16:46] Oh you do see it cuz you're in the Discord. Pastor Bill: [16:49] I'm in the Discord yes it was good timing. Pastor Newms: [16:51] So yeah. Pastor Bill: [16:56] That is funny that is comical. Pastor Newms: [16:59] I thought you would enjoy that. Pastor Bill: [17:01] It's a great joke even. Pastor Newms: [17:02] I thought you would enjoy that. Pastor Bill: [17:03] But after tonight you're going to have to stop that. Pastor Newms: [17:06] That is true. Pastor Bill: [17:07] That right there you have stopped. Pastor Newms: [17:09] But I doubt that we're talking about doubting Thomas. Pastor Bill: [17:13] Oh God okay so we're talking about Thomas and yes we and you ask you even ask me which Thomas were talking about and I said the one they call doubting. Pastor Newms: [17:25] Which is an accurate statement. Pastor Bill: [17:27] Yeah that was the only Q I gave you as to the tone of tonight, and what we were you know the one they called outing because I wasn't completely sure myself exactly where this was going, um and Ice us all that out today that's it, probably four hours I think it was just four hours maybe five reading through the commentaries on, John chapter 20 verses 24 through 29, and can assess out where we were going and as I was reading through it I was like oh I see what's going on okay got you, the made perfect sense once I got into the study as to why we were going that direction so let's start with and if you can type this in because on the restream kind of thing is where you type it in that it actually shows up on Facebook, if I type it in a Discord it doesn't actually show up on. Pastor Newms: [18:26] All right so we're going to John. Pastor Bill: [18:28] You're going to John chapter 20 and we're going to read versus 24, through 29 okay and this is the story where Thomas the Apostle now we call them Apostles because they are the 12, disciples who win the Lord said it of My Flesh and drink of my blood they stayed, there were estimated to be about 120 people following Jesus when he gave that teaching, and all of them left except for these 12 people okay so that's criteria number one for being an apostle criteria number two for being an apostle is meeting one-on-one with Christ, after he died descended and then came to Earth to do his post. Resurrection Ministry before he ascended those are the two criteria for apostle Paul, never actually met these criteria even though a lot of people call him the Apostle Paul, um now he did meet Jesus post Ascension but by the strictest definitions of apostle that discounts Paul altogether, John chapter 20 verses 24 through 29, but Thomas called twin now not called twin called Didymus it's a nickname, if you're gonna visit see that see that's the csb I don't often disagree with the csb but when you translate somebody's nickname, into what the words actual definition is I have a problem with that. Pastor Newms: [20:21] Yeah that's a little weird. Pastor Bill: [20:22] Um but Thomas called Didymus. Pastor Newms: [20:25] Although they did put it in quotes. Pastor Bill: [20:27] Yeah they did put it in quotes and then they put a little note at the bottom Greek did he miss tourism. Pastor Newms: [20:35] For all. Pastor Bill: [20:36] One of the twelve was not with them when Jesus came now what he's talking about is Jesus had met with them met with the other 11, on the first day of the previous week, so so the other disciples were telling him we have seen the Lord but he said to them. Sorry, I said to them if I don't see the mark of the nails in his hands put my finger into the mark of the nails and put my hand into his side I will never believe, a week later his disciples were indoors again and Thomas was with them even though the doors were locked Jesus came and stood among them and said, peace be with you then he said to Thomas put your finger here and look at my hands reach out your hand and put it into my side, don't be faithless but belief Thomas responded to him my Lord my God, Jesus said because you have seen me you have believed we're going to talk about punctuation here in a second, because you have seen me you have believed blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe okay. There are some discrepancies between manuscripts and translations on, verse 29 of John chapter 20 is supposed to be punctuated in the King James it says because you have seen me, you have believed semicolon, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe, in the csb it is because you have seen me, you have believed period blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe in some manuscripts The Ordering of the words, lead a good amount of Scholars to believe this statement was, because you have seen me have you believed question mark. Pastor Newms: [22:48] Which is what the Nasby sorry go ahead. Pastor Bill: [22:50] Sort of those yeah blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. Pastor Newms: [22:56] And that's what the Nasby shows. Pastor Bill: [23:00] Because there are some manuscripts in a good amount of Scholars have believed that was the intended punctuation now to be fair again you know. Pastor Newms: [23:09] To be fair. Pastor Bill: [23:11] There was no punctuation in the Greek, it was all in the way that the wording was placed and the way that you know it was the context clues that's where we get the punctuation for our English translations they're not actually there in, the Greek manuscripts so kind of have to guess you know was this a question was this a decorative, now if it was an exclamatory that was easy they just wrote the word or the statement twice, so like when Jesus is on the cross and he says Eloi Eloi, he probably only actually said that once but he probably screamed it yelled it you know with with much Gusto and they were probably just indicating that should be an exclamation point. Pastor Newms: [23:59] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [24:03] Okay, so this is a story where we get the idea of doubting Thomas right he doubted and that's why he didn't have as much Faith as the other Apostles and that's why he, mmm he was hurting from the trauma of what happened and that's why and on and on and on and on okay, and so we hear this rhetoric about all the other Apostles are blessed and you're blessed to because you didn't have to see it, you've just taken it on faith but real quick let's go back to Luke, if you can type this into the restream client for me Luke chapter 24 and we're going to be reading verses 36 through 40 3, and Luke actually tells us what happened seven days earlier when Jesus appeared to the eleven, starting in verse 36 as they were saying these things he himself stood in their midst he said to them peace to you but they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. They doubted that he was really the resurrected Christ. Pastor Newms: [25:29] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [25:32] Why are you troubled he asked them and why do doubts arise in your hearts look at my hands and my feet that it is I myself, touch me and see because the ghost does not have Flesh and Bones as you can see I have. Having said this he showed them his hands and feet while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their Joy, he asked them do you have anything to eat so they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and he took it and ate it in their presence so going back to John. After knowing what happened seven days earlier when we read, so the other disciples were telling him we've seen the Lord. It's not that they walked up and said we've seen the Lord they walked up and said, we were there we were hiding from the Jews we were about to have dinner we had this broiled fish this Spirit showed up we were afraid of it we weren't sure what was going on it turned out to be Jesus he showed us the holes in his hands the hole in his side the holes in his feet he had us touch him and he is risen and Thomas replies and says until, see and touch. I can't believe that. It's not that he doubted that the resurrection happened or was going to happen. But he looked at the other disciples and he said prove it prove it. So the next time they're up there hiding Thomas is like I'm gonna be there. That's not a doubt that's faith in action. Next time we're next time they're doing that I'm gonna be there I'm gonna be there I'm ready to see, so we can be proved to me Jesus is up put your finger here look at my hands reach out your hand put it in my side don't be faithless but belief. Don't be faithless but believe that's not an accusation or a condemnation, that's a reach your hand out and lifting someone up to you. There's no reason for you to not believe it because it's true here's your evidence it's true all right, um Pastor Newms: [28:29] Now a quick question because I know how much we prepare for this often are you going to touch on the two other times that Thomas is really talked about. Pastor Bill: [28:43] I wasn't gonna but if you'd like to you go for it. Pastor Newms: [28:45] I would so you know we call him doubting Thomas we push that narrative because of this particular story but there are two main times that Thomas is talked about in, actually in John also that I, really shows us also part of who Thomas was and how Thomas operated, and wasn't doubting so in I'll type it John 11, five through sixteen and I'm not going to read it. Pastor Bill: [29:21] So this is Lazarus. Pastor Newms: [29:23] I'm not going to read it verbatim I'm just going to kind of, give you the thing so that way we have time to discuss the rest of the points but in there geez Lazarus is dead and they're like. Pastor Bill: [29:39] Jesus and his followers are in hiding. Pastor Newms: [29:44] They're not there and Jesus is like okay let's go to Judah and the disciples are like whoa will will will. Pastor Bill: [29:51] Where they where he's wanted Dead. Pastor Newms: [29:52] Yeah they're like the disciples are like whoa. Pastor Bill: [29:54] Whoa bro. Pastor Newms: [29:56] Just now the Jews tried to Stone you are why are we going to go back we're going to get stoned to which Jesus gives them an answer you know it's a good answer. Pastor Bill: [30:09] Well he kind of your concerns are trivial. Pastor Newms: [30:11] He gets on to him yeah it's like you don't matter our friends asleep but we got to go wake him up which I love. Pastor Bill: [30:16] Yeah we got better things to do than worry about stonings. Pastor Newms: [30:21] And then Thomas called the twin said to the fellow disciples let us go too so we can die with him. Pastor Bill: [30:29] So we can die with her Jesus gonna go get some we're gonna go to. Pastor Newms: [30:33] Like the disciples like whoa whoa whoa whoa Jesus they're going to try to kill you dude like Homie we can't do the and Thomas is like I'm down let's go so Thomas was, I do this is terrible this is terrible I can't believe my mind even when here but Thomas is Hardcore right here a ride-or-die. Pastor Bill: [30:56] Yeah he's a ride or die man. Pastor Newms: [30:57] Like and as a terrible euphemism for this but hey you know. Pastor Bill: [31:02] It really is but it's the it's the sentiment there for sure. Pastor Newms: [31:05] Yeah and then when we look at the Last Supper which is in John 14, one through seven with so again still John. The Lord's talking about hey I'm going to, I'm going and then I'm coming again and he's given the whole the whole aspect and Thomas is like Lord we don't we don't know what where are you going how do we know the way like how can we follow you, basically and Jesus is like well I'm the way the truth the life no one comes to the father except through me, we've covered that you know in  Christian world forever if you know me you'll also know my father from now from now on you do know him and have seen him and then. Because of that then Phillip is just like show us the father that's enough for us you know and so Thomas is question there, wasn't we, it was again it was him being literally ride or die like okay where we going how we going to get there I'm there with you we got this no problems this is not an issue we're down and. Pastor Bill: [32:33] He was he was basically imma go where you go but if you leave I'm on need a new Navigator because you're the Navigator. Pastor Newms: [32:41] Yeah I'm only following you how do I know who to follow if it's not you. Pastor Bill: [32:46] If you leave. Pastor Newms: [32:47] Literally asking God asking Jesus okay, we get it you got to die we understand you're the Messiah you're going to you're here to save us your great sacrifice has no questions on any of that never had to be gotten on 24, other things like certain Apostles had to like you know becoming the main person who you know, influenced all of church history but denied Christ three times and had, to have Jesus answered the same question like six times so you know we don't see that with Thomas Thomas is like I'm here it's so in my mind. Pastor Bill: [33:33] We opened his mouth when he have something to say. Pastor Newms: [33:36] Yeah in my mind. Pastor Bill: [33:38] It's the only shows up twice. Pastor Newms: [33:41] In my mind, through his his question of I don't believe you is not I don't believe God I don't believe Jesus in this it's I do. Pastor Bill: [33:57] I don't believe I don't believe he's not going to resurrect I don't believe your. Pastor Newms: [34:01] I don't trust you, he was straight so yeah he doubted someone but it wasn't Jesus he had no problem following Jesus literally to the end and then asking him who's next, who do we follow When You're Gone had no problem with that had no problem with the understanding that he was going to go and then he was going to come, no problems he doesn't ask again in these passages that we see. Pastor Bill: [34:31] He definitely had this strong understanding of what was going on we see this idea of let's just go die with him, carried out in Paul's teachings you know for me, to live is Christ to die is gain you see this played out and then he's got this full where do we go and then you see this played out again where Jesus says well who do you say that I am and, and Peter asked we'll where else would we go well this is an idea that. Thomas has been holding onto for a while here Peter you're just now getting here welcome to the party. And then if you'll type in first John chapter 4 verse 1 we have this another idea where, Thomas says I don't believe you, and then we see this play out again first John 4:1 dear friends do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world right so even these people that he knew, had been walking with Jesus with him even though they had this history he looked at them and said I'm gonna need. You to prove the word that you just brought me, prove it okay and so we're kind of on the same topic here but we're pivoting slightly, and let's talk about out deconstruction. Pastor Newms: [36:18] Mmm. Pastor Bill: [36:22] Thomas and deconstruction Thomas said prove it. And waited for the only evidence that he knew was available and how did he know that evidence was available, because they came to me and said we saw him we touched him, he had the holes it was all there and Thomas said I ain't going to believe you until I see evidence of that. Right now we have this whole deconstruction movement, yes I believe it is a movement I believe personally I believe that the same thing that God did through John the Baptist, where he called people to repentance to make way for a move of the Lord and this case the arrival of the Lord, is the same thing God's doing now in the hearts and minds of all these people that are being pulled away from, the religious status quo that's been set up right. And you see all these videos where these pastors are talking down about deconstruction and they're talking bad about deconstructionist and the railing hard on all these things and then you see all these videos by the JC constructionists and when they're not retelling and reliving the trauma, that they feel led them to deconstruction they're telling stories of deeper faith, not all of them some of them deconstruct and they realize they don't believe, which we've already talked about that I think it's better to deconstruct and believe you and find out you don't believe now, then to fool yourself into believing your whole life that you had faith and it having that moment that Jesus talks about where where you know you're like God I did cast out demons in your name I did miniature name and Jesus goes, but I never knew you we never had a relationship better to find that out now than then. Pastor Newms: [38:40] Yeah because that gives that still gives you that time for repentance later that time to find God again. Pastor Bill: [38:48] I celebrate that you have that time, um and then you have these other people that deconstruct and they find this deeper more meaningful relationship with the Lord and a deeper version of Faith than they ever had in the church, and they're more peace and they're more connected with God and there are more love than more biblical Christians because of it, and so I thought it would be nice, to talk about it and it's less talk about it because. You know between us me and you Pastor newms and a lot of people don't know that part of my calling I feel like is to call out the modern Church, call it out for not being this not living up to this. Pastor Newms: [39:42] You definitely do that. Pastor Bill: [39:45] That's part I feel like it's part of my calling and to emphasize faith hope and love to love people love people call out God's church to where it's supposed to be, and love those people at the same time I feel like that's where I am okay so, I made a list of the things that I believe are inspiring deconstruction. From a Biblical point of view. Okay I believe that people are deconstructing because the modern Church, has brought a message of Jesus and faith and the Bible and then failed, to look after orphans and widows like we're told to do in James 1:27 failed, to love God. All of their hearts that have chose children politics in some cases instead and failed to love our neighbor as ourself and chosen lots of other reasons instead, as we're told in Mark chapter 12 and again in Matthew I don't remember what chapter is there Dave the modern church has failed, to submit to governmental authorities President Biden is your president, Romans chapter 13 tells us to submit to governmental authorities and you can argue all day long, that when Paul wrote Romans he didn't mean governmental authorities but go back and reread it because it talks about this Authority being armed, physically armed to physically protect you and to physically punished, those who are evil doers and that's not the church, the church is not physically armed to punish evildoers that's governments that's governmental Authority. Um this one's a long this is out of Romans chapter 12 the modern church has failed to love without hypocrisy failed to detest evil, failed to outdo each other in showing honor, failed to rejoice in Hope failed in being patient in Affliction sales in pursuing Hospitality failed in blessing people that persecute them, sailed and rejoicing with people who Rejoice failed in Weeping with people who we, failed in living in harmony with others failed and being humble instead of proud failed and not repaying evil for evil fails and what I'm doing is what it in doing what is Honorable, in everyone's eyes failed at living in peace with everyone failed and not avenging themselves, failed at feeding their enemies when they're hungry or giving them something to drink when they're thirsty failed at combating evil with good instead of, combating evil with evil the modern church has failed to remember that there is faith there is hope and there is love, greatest of those is love. And I believe biblically these are why people are deconstructing because the modern Church doesn't look like this anymore. Pastor Newms: [43:18] Yeah and I think a lot of it has to do with and I want to be clear to people who might not know, when we say the modern church we don't mean every modern church we mean the church as a whole. Pastor Bill: [43:35] The church we're all guilty all of us. Pastor Newms: [43:38] Exactly the. Pastor Bill: [43:39] A church emulation Christians as a whole we are all guilty because we have failed to hold each other accountable I'm including myself, as a as a Christian as a pastor I've failed to do my part to hold other pastors and other Christians accountable in these areas, until recently no more I will no longer be that quiet voice I'm calling them out I'm calling out we need to love, I mean the. Pastor Newms: [44:09] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [44:10] Is the modern Church all of us all believers. Pastor Newms: [44:14] So there are some that are doing good in some of these aspects, and some of them are so definitely not calling out every individual for every one of these of course because that would be crazy. Pastor Bill: [44:37] And it's impossible to do all of these you would need a you would need a budget the size of I was about to say the name of a church you would need the budget a budget the size of the US government. Pastor Newms: [44:51] To fully. Pastor Bill: [44:51] To do all of these. Pastor Newms: [44:53] But the point is we should be trying to continue there's a lot of churches out there that have. And when I say church is there's a lot of denominations out there that only focused on themselves. Pastor Bill: [45:12] And congregations to. Pastor Newms: [45:13] And congregations that only funded themselves only funded people that came out of them only funded people that worked for them directly and then you've got. Pastor Bill: [45:25] There's like there's a youth pastors of Pastor in Oklahoma on Tick Tock have used to be a youth pastor and he quit because they were saying things to him like, you need to stop hanging out at the YMCA and to administer to those black boys, and only focus on the children of the tithers that come to this church. Pastor Newms: [45:48] And in situations there's a lot of churches now that are working with food pantries that are secular organizations but they're filling the need they can't because they already have the setup. Pastor Bill: [46:03] Why we promote and raise try to raise funds for I personally raise funds for but anyway for the Trevor Project, secular organization lgp lgbtq+ youth can call in for free and get support and help and and help through those issues that they're having emotionally and with fitting in with their environment and all of the pressure they have coming against them and that's literally, the highest at-risk group for suicide in the United States. And so many Christians are just turning a blind eye to it if you truly believe, hey you're supposed to be spreading faith and bringing people to Christ why would you ignore an organization. Helps people live longer and has a reach that you don't have, to literally save people's lives so they have a chance of salvation.  Pastor Newms: [47:11] And you know that's such a big aspect of why. We support organizations like that in situations like that because without a chance, find repentance sadly we know how that ends and so we've got to increase, people's chances to give everyone a shot and that means making sure children aren't starving to death that means making sure people are loved, and and you know sadly not, as you said Bill not every church can do everything but if every Church truly followed the New Testament teachings of taking care of the community we wouldn't have a lot of the issues that we do, Countrywide and worldwide if if churches and Christians tie. Pastor Bill: [48:24] I'm so I'm so I'm so tired of hearing Christians who are steeped in politics complaining about welfare. And then not supporting food banks Ike, don't I just don't get that like if you don't want to pay taxes to support welfare then do your part to change that for the future, raise awareness about food bags raise awareness about organizations that help people with school supplies and and shoes and fill in the blanks where their jobs can't, if you're really that worried about being charged taxes to help people survive, raise awareness for programs that do that so that welfare can be taken out of the equation in the future. Pastor Newms: [49:29] And the failures of the church, is what caused the government to need to step in if the church had not. Not been doing what they were supposed to be doing and taking care of widows and orphans and taking care of single parent families and taking care of you know we wouldn't have needed, a lot of the government programs that the country needs because, we can't and sadly as a quote-unquote and I say quote unquote very strongly Christian Nation, we forsake a lot of the values that are taught in the New Testament, myself I don't like a lot of socialistic programs and the reason I don't like them is not because I think they're wrong, I don't like them because our government Miss manages them and the people who truly need help aren't getting it. So that's what I don't like so that's why a lot of times like, similar I said someone I don't like socialistic programs and they're like oh we don't care about this I was like no I do I just think our government would mess it up, I look at how the government treats veterans and then terrifies me for them to to be in charge of my health care I see how they treat, disabled people on disability and how hard it is to get disability and how hard it is to be able to be funded when you can't work and how much they reject and then it's like well. What are they going to do if I get to that point like so for me that's my issue with our social social programs is they don't do enough for the correct reasons because. Pastor Bill: [51:43] And every but but every church has to have a pretty new Fountain out front never church has to have new carpeting in the foyer and every church has to have, as much money as they ditch the church in the United States brings in, and then spins within its own four walls, if that money was pulled together in cooperation with all believers we could get rid of welfare, because we could the church could be meeting those needs. Pastor Newms: [52:18] And. Pastor Bill: [52:20] Our church buildings would go to crap but God never wanted temples he wanted her heart. Pastor Newms: [52:29] And. Pastor Bill: [52:30] Why are we spending so much money and making temples. Pastor Newms: [52:34] And it's definitely something that and even in that we as Christians individuals. Are failing in so many ways because so often we're not given to our churches and we're not we're only giving to our government and. Pastor Bill: [52:59] We're not even get most of those aren't even giving the ten percent that, the Bible you know in Malachi says you know you should dedicate this part to God most of those aren't even doing that when I even given that 10% of the church. Pastor Newms: [53:16] And and it definitely and this is in no way shape form or idea or thing of saying give us money because, it's not just to be clear on that we are a 501 c 3 we are a church we are we do give two, Ministry other Ministries and other things, the aspect that we're talking about is as a whole we as Christians and we as the church have to step up and stop waiting on someone else to fix the issues. Pastor Bill: [54:02] It's the sitting back and watching it's created a culture, where the church doesn't look like this anymore and so people are understandably and with my support questioning what the church has taught them. And not always finding the answers here and deciding I don't believe that I think I'm going to be an atheist now. Looks like I said. Better now than later. But if your goal is truly the gospel and making disciples and and spreading the word and loving like Jesus loved. It's one of the work that needs to be done a lot of renovation and I don't mean to the to the fellowship hall at your local congregations. Unless you're holding daily dinners they're feeding the hungry and the loss and the homeless and then by golly upgrade them chairs go for it you're doing it right you're doing something right. Pastor Newms: [55:35] There are definitely times where it is needed if your buildings are being used for outreach make sure they look at least good. Pastor Bill: [55:43] But if your buildings are just an echo chamber to pay yourselves on the back. And you're not looking after orphans and widows you're not loving the neighborhood around you and you're not fulfilling Romans chapter 12 or First Corinthians 13. I just I can't I can't with you I just. I'm sorry I have no words I can't play Kate and I can't sugarcoat this it's just not right. So there you go there's my take on Thomas. Pastor Newms: [56:33] Yep. Pastor Bill: [56:35] All right well this podcast comes out every Wednesday night at Seven PM wherever you get podcasts, and if you'd like to join us when we record it live we do that on Sundays at 6:30 p.m. Central Standard time we go live on Facebook YouTube and, twitch you can go to our website ekk.house, to find out which Choice which Facebook and which YouTube and then if you'd like to join us on our Discord server so you can chat with us throughout the week or be a part of the chat as well during life because you can be a part of the chat on Facebook YouTube and twitch just right there too then you can send us an email, info@ekk.house that email does go straight to me because you're literally work looking at everyone that works for the church and only one of us worked for the church on days that don't start in son.

My guest this week is Thomas Vozzo, CEO of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. Tom has served as the first-ever CEO of the nonprofit since 2012. He has led the organization forward, bringing his business expertise and vision to implement a strategic and mission driven development plan for the organization that has resulted in growth all around. He has cultivated Homeboy's portfolio of job-training businesses (e.g., Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Café, and Homeboy Silkscreen & Embroidery) and increased revenues from Homeboy Industries' enterprises in order to decrease the organization's reliance on donations and government funding, as the organization receives less than 5% of annual funding from any government resources. Most recently, he has helmed Homeboy Industries' acquisition of Isidore Electronics Recycling, rebranding the full service, certified B Corporation as “Homeboy Recycling,” and establishing a new job creation stream that supports the organization's comprehensive, free rehabilitative services. The venture marks the first of its kind in the electronic waste industry where a for-profit entity is leveraged to both provide jobs and generate revenue for a not-for-profit organization. 4:18 – Thomas 101 Homeboy is based in Los Angeles and helps gang members change their lives. He wants to help people heal. Before Homeboy, Thomas was in the corporate world and ran a $1.8 billion business. His values didn't line up with the corporate world. 9:01 – Running businesses He came in and used business techniques to improve certain areas. But Homeboy changed him as well.

They help take tattoos off people's faces for free since it hinders them getting jobs. 16:09 – How Homeboy has change Thomas Thomas came to Homeboy wanting to help, but he had the hubris of a company executive. There really are two Americas – the America that Thomas and most of us live in … and then the plight of the really poor, the demonized. 22:22 – Poverty in America Poverty is America has not changed much People aren't in gangs because they want to be in there. It's because it's ingrained in them from a young age. 28:15 – Clients became managers More than half of Homeboy's management team members are former clients. 32:53 – Homegirls Thomas tells the story of a client who was friendly and polite but had a hard life. She had health issues and debt and turned to prostitution to make money. 44:04 – What Thomas has learned When he talks with people, he tries to find out what's behind their frustration, anger and pain. 46:50 – Get to know you Favorite meal at Homegirl Café – Carne Asada tacos with hot sauce What actor should play him in movie? Steve Carrell Most played music? Bruce Springsteen and classical music FEATURED QUOTES We need to teach people how to work along the way. We're first and foremost a human services agency. Ten thousand people come through Homeboy's doors every year to get some type of service and help. There really are two Americas – the America that I live in … and then the plight of the really poor, the demonized. CONNECT: https://homeboyindustries.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Homeboy-Way-Radical-Approach-Business/dp/082945456X ABOUT THOMAS VOZZO:  Thomas Vozzo left a lucrative career in corporate America convinced there had to be a better way to define success. In 2012, Vozzo became the first-ever CEO of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. Each year, thousands of former gang members from across Los Angeles enter the doors of Homeboy Industries seeking hope and the tools to make positive change. They are welcomed into a community of kinship, love, and exquisite mutuality, alongside access to the needed support services to ensure their own success—including case management, tattoo removal, anger management training, mental health services, parenting classes and more. The overarching goal is to support individuals as they work to heal from their complex trauma and help them see hope in their futures and the importance of their contributions to their families and communities. Vozzo led the nonprofit organization forward, bringing his business expertise and vision to implement a strategic and mission-driven plan that doubled the organization's size and impact. He has cultivated Homeboy's portfolio of social enterprise job-training businesses (including Homeboy Bakery, Homegirl Café and Homebody Electronic Recycling), and increased revenues from Homeboy Industries' social enterprises while only having less than 5% of the organization's funds come from government sources. Vozzo's journey goes from billion-dollar revenues—his last corporate role was as CEO of the $1.8 billion ARAMARK Uniform and Career Apparel Group—to a voluntary, unpaid CEO of a nonprofit built on compassion, kinship, empathy and social justice. Along the way, he has learned hard-earned insights from motivational and sometimes heartbreaking stories of former gang members determined to break the cycles of incarceration and violence of their own lives. In Vozzo's first book, The Homeboy Way: A Radical Approach to Business and Life, he gives readers practical ways to address some of our most vexing social issues and provides a new path for personal and business leadership.

S H O W – N O T E S Im Folgenden geben wir Dir den Inhalt des Podcasts in Stichpunkten wieder. Direkt zu Thomas kommst Du hier. Zu uns – codu – geht’s hier! Weitere interessante Links findest Du am Ende unter der Überschrift “Ressourcen und Referenzen”. In der heutigen Folge geht es um das Thema Parallelunternehmertum – im Interview mit dem Experten Thomas Promny. Welche 3 wichtigen Punkte kannst Du Dir aus dem heutigen Training mitnehmen? Was der Unterschied zu einem Serienunternehmer ist Welche Strategie zur schnellen Marktvalidierung führt Warum der Markt entscheidet Rayk: Willkommen Thomas Promny. Bist Du ready für die heutige Trainingseinheit? Gast: Ich freue mich auch schon. Vielen Dank, dass Du vorbeigekommen bist. Rayk: Lass uns gleich starten! Was sind die drei wichtigsten Dinge, die unsere Zuhörer über Dich wissen sollten? Gast: Thomas Promny, 36, Hamburger, Internetunternehmer, fokussiert auf Veranstaltungen im Digitalbereich Ich bin die Hälfte meines Lebens, 18 Jahre Unternehmer Mein Hobby ist ein Punk-Rock-Business Interviewfragen Rayk: Was ist Deine spezielle Expertise, was gibst Du den Menschen weiter? Gast: Ich bin Parallelunternehmer, weil ich von allem etwas kann, aber nichts so richtig gut. Die Meisten kennen den Serienunternehmer der hintereinander Unternehmen gründet. Ich habe das immer nebeneinander gemacht. Ich habe immer drei-vier verschiedene Unternehmen gehabt, an denen ich gearbeitet habe. Für viele Menschen funktioniert es gut sich auf eine Sache zu fokussieren, ich kann besser verschiedene Dinge gleichzeitig machen. Für mich ist das der Lifestyle der dafür sorgt, dass ich mich voll entfalten kann. Rayk: Was war beruflich Deine Weltmeisterschaft? Was war Deine größte Herausforderung und wie hast Du diese überwunden? Gast: Es gab für mich noch nie den totalen Weltuntergang, da ich immer viele Themen nebeneinander gemacht habe. Ich habe 2001 angefangen, und einige Unternehmen im Bereich Publishing aufgebaut. Mit Platzen der Dot-Com-Blase ging dann an der Stelle gar nichts mehr; ein „nuklearer Winter“. Diese Erfahrung so Abhängig zu sein hat mich schnell dazu gebracht, immer verschiedene Pfeile im Köcher zu haben. Rayk: Was ist ein ganz wesentliches Werkzeug aus Deinem Erfahrungsschatz, das wir kennen sollten, aber noch nicht kennen? Gast: Ich finde man sollte scheitern, und zwar schnell und billig. Ich habe über 20 Unternehmen aufgebaut, Projekte und kleine Geschichten, dann ist die Zahl im hohen dreistelligen Bereich. Eine Website bauen, die etwas anbietet und versucht zu verkaufen geht schnell. Selbst Veranstaltungen kann man erst einmal Ankündigen und dann schauen wie hoch die Nachfrage ist. So kann ich ganz leicht Monate im Voraus eine Veranstaltung ankündigen und diese Verkaufen, und wenn keiner es kaufen will, dann passiert es einfach nicht. Rayk: Wenn jetzt ein Unternehmer noch nie etwas von dieser Technik gehört hat. Was ist Deine Empfehlung, um diese schnellstmöglich in Einsatz zu bringen. Welches Vorgehen schlägst Du vor? Gast: Ich bin kein Fan von großen Businessplänen um herauszufinden ob etwas funktioniert. Lieber schnell einen Start günstig arrangieren und dann die Erfahrungen sammeln. Es macht immer mehr Sinn, direkt an den Markt zu gehen und dann zu prüfen ob meine Produkte oder Leistungen wirklich gekauft werden. Wirklich zählen tut nur wer Dir auch die harten Euros in die Hand gibt. Rayk: Kannst Du der Unternehmerwissen-Community kurz die 3 Schritte darstellen, mit denen Du das umsetzen würdest? Gast:  Sich ein Thema überlegen von dem man denkt das die Welt es braucht. Prüfen ob die Zielgruppe auch bereit ist dafür Geld auszugeben und den Prototypen sehr günstig bauen. Wenn Leute kaufen, dann auch wirklich liefern. Rayk: Grandios. Lass uns das Interview mit Deinem Spezial-Tipp für die Unternehmerwissen-Community beenden, dem besten Weg mit Dir in Kontakt zu treten und dann verabschieden wir uns. Gast: Ich lerne gern immer neue Unternehmer kennen. Besonders spannend sind für mich Speaker für den Onlinekarriere Tag, die einen Hintergrund in der Digitalwirtschaft haben. Rayk: Vielen Dank, dass Du Deine Erfahrungen und Dein Wissen mit uns geteilt hast. Gast: Dankeschön, viel Erfolg und bis Bald.

Det är slutet av Juli. Regnet står som spön i backen. Den svenska sommaren visar upp sin sämsta sista. Men DET hindrar inte oss för att att sätta oss ute på en pub och spela in den nu traditionella sommarspecialen av vår filmpodcast. Den här gången pratar vi om filmerna som dök upp från 2000-2009 och vad som var tidstypiskt. Allt från Sagan om Ringen, Harry Potter, Bourne-filmerna, James Bond, Tarantino, till de små och stora guldkornen som förgyllde filmhimlen då.  Som förstärkning har vi i det här programmet, Stephen King-experten Hans-Åke Lilja som ger sin syn på sitt 2000-2009. Med ölen som bränsle, puben som stämningshöjare, slår vi på turboaggregaten och bara sprutar ur oss filmer , referenser och knäppa infallsvinklar ur filmskatten från decenniet som stavas uppföljare...Häll upp ett glas öl, eller drick den direkt ur flaskan och känn er som hemma. Nu blir det åka av. Skål och välkomna allesammans till Thomas & Thomas sommarspecial 2015 .

Det finns tillfällen då Thomas & Tomas inte är överrens om någoting. Detta ÄR ett sådant tillfälle. När det skall resas i tiden i Project Almanac flippar Tomas ur totalt. Han sliter sitt hår, som han inte har. Han bryter sin podcastmikronfon i småbitar och ingen får reda på hur tapper han är... Thomas däremot sätter sig lugnt och stilla i källaren, knäpper upp en öl och berättar lugnt och sansat hur bra Project Almanac är...Det finns också tillfällen då Thomas & Thomas går igång på filmer båda två. De tveklöst lyfter fram godiset ur filmen. De hittar russinen ur kakan. De ventilerar superlativ så det nästan blir korsdrag. EX-MACHINA är tydligen en sådan film som de båda gillar lite mer än genomsnittet.Det var länge sedan man hörde bi-polära tendenser i Thomas & Tomas Filmpodcast. Detta ÄR ett sådant tillfälle. Välkommen in då, till galenskaperna...Det är inte farligt. Vi lovar... 

About Easter 2/Thomas - Thomas is a conflicted disciple. We first hear him ready to give his life for Jesus in the story of Lazarus, but when we catch up with him in John 20, he is unwilling to even muster the faith and belief to accept Jesus' Resurrection. As we look to Thomas' story, we find our own story of conflicted faith in the presence of a hard-to-swallow Resurrection from the dead, and we see the larger picture of the Risen Jesus.

If you’re an employer, large or small, public or private, you probably know that retaliation is a real and costly threat. What you may not know is that a recent Supreme Court ruling has just made the threat even more of a problem, requiring extra caution on the part of employers.
