They explore the rules, policies, and legal frameworks governing police actions, including key court cases like Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner. With a focus on understanding the concept of “reasonableness,” they unpack how these principles apply not just to officers, but also to civilians and military personnel navigating related situations. Through this discussion, Mike and Jim examine the challenges of balancing split-second decisions with the need for critical thinking, training, and adherence to policy. They touch on how models like the Critical Decision-Making Model (CDM) and Integrated Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT) are shaping modern law enforcement training, while also addressing the limits of these frameworks. This episode encourages professionals and everyday listeners alike to critically evaluate their understanding of use-of-force dynamics. From self-defense considerations to understanding the role of government and the judiciary in defining boundaries, Mike and Jim aim to elevate the conversation while emphasizing the importance of informed discussion and reflection.

Title: Understanding the Person of the Holy Spirit Series: Living in the Spirit
Focus Scripture: Acts 2 Introduction * Acts 2 marks the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit, empowering believers for ministry and revealing the person and work of the Spirit profoundly.

The Spirit's divine nature is evident in His ability to fill believers and empower them with supernatural gifts.     * The gifts of the Holy Spirit are an extension of the person of the Holy Spirit present within us.     * The Holy Spirit is not a force but a person of the Trinity with intellect, will, and emotions - 2. The Promise of the Father:     * Acts 2:33 33 Now he is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God's right hand.

The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. II. The Work of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 1. Empowering Believers:     * Acts 2:3-4: 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.     * The gift of diverse tongues and interpretation manifested because people of many nations/languages were gathered.     * Application: The Spirit equips us for ministry and mission, giving gifts for service (1 Corinthians 12). 2. Revealing God's Glory:     * Acts 2:11: "We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!"     * The Spirit's work is always centered on glorifying God and revealing His nature to the world. 3.

Building Unity in the Church:     * Acts 2:44-47: 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity[a]— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.     * The Spirit creates a community of believers through generosity, worship, and fellowship.     * The Spirit binds believers together in one body (Ephesians 4:3) -  Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.

Title: Understanding the Neurosurgical Mindset and Work Ethic - How Not to Burn Out Guest faculty: Daniel F. Kelly, MD Host: Amir Vokshoor, MD Dr. Kelly will join us in discussing how the neurosurgical mindset can lead to increased levels of stress and burnout and how we avoid it.

Title: Understanding the Heart of Jesus: Insights from Matthew 11 Matthew 11 presents a fascinating blend of Jesus' teachings, highlighting His relationship with John the Baptist, His reflections on the generation He ministered to, and His profound invitation to find rest in Him. This chapter not only provides insight into the nature of Jesus' ministry but also into His character and approach to the spiritual needs of humanity. Jesus' Testimony about John the Baptist (Matthew 11:1-15)The chapter begins with John the Baptist, now imprisoned, sending his disciples to Jesus to inquire if He is the expected Messiah. Jesus responds not with a direct yes or no, but by pointing to the evidence of His works: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. This response aligns with Messianic expectations outlined in the Old Testament. After John's messengers leave, Jesus speaks to the crowd about John. He affirms John's role as a prophet and more than a prophet, identifying him as the one who prepares the way for the Messiah, as foretold by Malachi. Jesus' commendation of John as among the greatest born of women yet lesser in the kingdom of heaven emphasizes the new era of the Kingdom of God that Jesus ushers in. Woes to Unrepentant Cities (Matthew 11:16-24)Jesus then reproaches the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, for they did not repent. He compares them to capricious children, neither satisfied with John's asceticism nor with Jesus' engagement with society. The woes pronounced on Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum underline the gravity of rejecting the Messiah despite witnessing His works. This section highlights the responsibility that comes with exposure to divine truth. The Father Revealed Through the Son (Matthew 11:25-27)In a moment of intimate prayer, Jesus thanks His Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the truths of the kingdom to “little children” rather than the wise and learned. This reflects a theme central to Jesus' teaching: the Kingdom of God is revealed to those with humble, childlike faith. Jesus also asserts the unique relationship between Himself and the Father, stating that no one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. The Invitation to Rest (Matthew 11:28-30)The chapter culminates with one of the most comforting invitations in the Gospels. Jesus calls those who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest, offering a yoke that is easy and a light burden. This invitation extends beyond physical rest to spiritual rest – rest for the soul found in a relationship with Jesus, characterized by grace and freedom from the legalistic burden of the Law. Contemporary Application: A Call to Humble Faith and Rest in ChristMatthew 11 speaks powerfully to contemporary believers, inviting us to approach Jesus with humble faith, acknowledging our need for His grace. It challenges us to examine our response to Jesus' teachings and works, encouraging repentance and transformation. The chapter also offers profound comfort, reminding us of the rest and peace found in Christ, free from the heavy burdens of legalism and self-reliance. Conclusion: Embracing the Messiah's Call Matthew 11 offers a rich tapestry of teachings about faith, repentance, and spiritual rest. It invites us to see Jesus as the fulfilment of Messianic prophecies, to respond to His works with repentant hearts, and to find rest in His gracious invitation. This chapter continues to inspire and challenge believers to deepen their understanding of and relationship with Jesus, the one who reveals the Father and provides rest for our souls.

Title: Understanding the Johari Window: A Framework for Personal and Interpersonal Growth Introduction: The Johari Window, developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in 1955, is a powerful tool for understanding and improving interpersonal communication and relationships. This model provides a framework for individuals to explore and expand their self-awareness, enhance communication with others, and foster personal and professional growth. In this article, we will delve into the concepts behind the Johari Window and discuss why it is essential for personal development and effective communication. The Four Quadrants of the Johari Window: The Johari Window consists of four quadrants, each representing a different aspect of information about an individual: 1. **Open Area (Arena):** - This quadrant contains information known to both the individual and others. - It represents the aspects of personality, behavior, and attitudes that are openly shared and understood by everyone involved. 2. **Blind Spot:** - The Blind Spot holds information known to others but unknown to the individual. - It includes aspects of our personality or behavior that others can see, but we may be unaware of. 3. **Hidden Area (Facade):** - The Hidden Area contains information known to the individual but hidden from others. - It represents thoughts, feelings, and experiences that the individual chooses to keep private or has not yet disclosed. 4. **Unknown Area:** - The Unknown Area represents information unknown to both the individual and others. - It encompasses potential talents, traits, or aspects that have yet to be discovered or revealed. Why Use the Johari Window? 1. **Enhancing Self-Awareness:** - The Johari Window is a powerful tool for self-reflection and self-discovery. By understanding the different quadrants, individuals can identify their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. 2. **Improving Communication:** - Effective communication is crucial for personal and professional success. The Johari Window encourages open and honest communication by promoting the sharing of information between individuals. It helps reduce misunderstandings and conflicts by increasing awareness of each other's perspectives. 3. **Building Trust and Relationships:** - As individuals expand their open area and reduce the blind spot, trust within relationships can grow. Open and transparent communication fosters deeper connections and understanding between people. 4. **Facilitating Team Development:** - In a team setting, the Johari Window can be a valuable tool for building trust among team members. By creating an environment that encourages open communication, teams can collaborate more effectively and leverage each member's strengths. 5. **Promoting Personal Growth:** - By actively working to expand the open area and decrease the hidden area, individuals can promote personal growth and development. Embracing feedback from others and sharing more about oneself can lead to continuous improvement. Conclusion: The Johari Window is a dynamic and versatile model that empowers individuals to navigate the complexities of self-awareness and interpersonal relationships. By using this framework, individuals can unlock their potential, foster open communication, and build stronger, more meaningful connections with others. Embracing the Johari Window is not just a self-help exercise; it's a pathway to personal and professional success in a world that thrives on effective communication and collaboration. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support

Title: Understanding the Profound Meaning of Psalms 91 Introduction: Throughout history, the Book of Psalms has been a source of comfort, inspiration, and solace for countless individuals seeking spiritual guidance.Among its many profound and uplifting passages, Psalms 91 stands out as a powerful testament to the unwavering protection, refuge, and faithfulness of God. Written by an unknown author, this psalm captures the essence of divine love and assurance, offering hope and strength in times of uncertainty and fear. In this article, we delve into the rich meaning and significance of Psalms 91.The Assurance of God's Protection:Psalms 91 begins by establishing the foundation of trust and refuge in God. It emphasizes the intimate relationship between the Creator and those who seek shelter under His wings. The psalmist highlights that those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High, symbolic of a close and personal communion with God, will find rest and security. The imagery of "dwelling" illustrates a continuous state of abiding in God's presence, a place of divine protection where fears and anxieties are dispelled.Sheltered from Harm:The psalmist goes on to depict God as a shield and fortress, providing a safeguard against the perils and dangers of life. The references to "the fowler's snare" and "the deadly pestilence" symbolize the various trials and tribulations that befall humanity. However, the assurance given is that those who trust in God will be delivered from these calamities. The metaphorical language employed reminds us that, with God as our refuge, we are shielded from the harm that seeks to engulf us.A Promise of Divine Care:Psalms 91 reveals God's promise of divine care in times of trouble. The psalmist describes how God's angels are charged with guarding and protecting those who have made the Lord their refuge. This imagery reinforces the belief that God's presence is not only spiritual but also tangible and active in our lives. The psalm offers a comforting reminder that we are never alone in our journey, as the divine presence watches over us, guiding and preserving us through life's challenges. Overcoming Fear: Fear is a universal emotion that can paralyze and hinder personal growth. Psalms 91 acknowledges this reality and provides a powerful antidote by urging trust and faith in God. The psalmist declares that with God as our stronghold, we need not fear the terrors of the night or the arrows that fly by day. This message resonates with individuals facing adversity, encouraging them to lean on God's strength and unwavering love to overcome their fears and live boldly.The Rewards of Trust:The final verses of Psalms 91 reveal the bountiful rewards that await those who place their trust in God. The psalmist assures that God will answer their calls, deliver them from trouble, and honor them with long life and salvation. These promises reinforce the idea that trust in the divine leads to a life filled with blessings and divine favor. It reminds us that the rewards of faith are not merely confined to the spiritual realm but encompass all aspects of our existence.Conclusion :Psalms 91 holds a timeless and universal message of trust, refuge, and divine protection. It serves as a reminder of the unbreakable bond between God and humanity, assuring us of His loving care and presence in our lives. As we navigate the complexities of existence, this psalm offers solace, strength, and hope, encouraging us to seek refuge in the Most High. Let us embrace the profound meaning of Psalms 91 and find comfort in the unwavering love and protection of our Creator.SendMe Radio is now an online streaming internet radio station, packed with all the messages on the podcast.

In this episode of VeganSci, we update you with some Quick Science, including: Clever horses who communicate with humans, whether difficult conversations about animal agriculture influences peoples' thoughts about it, how to tell if your rat is happy, and why some scientists are scared of animal rights. We get stuck in-depth into a paper focused on the effect of environmental food labelling on customer choice, with some possible lessons to learn for vegan labelling, and then a review of peoples' perceptions and beliefs regarding plant-based diets (and vegetarianism). And finally in the bullshit corner we tackle the idea that 'a single person going vegan isn't going to make a difference anyway, so why bother?' You can find links to all of the research we discussed below. Let us know if we missed anything.
