Evan and Greg sit down with Cory Suter, founder of LambMowers.com, a Fairfax, Virginia lawn care company that swaps gas mowers for a flock of Babydoll Southdown sheep. Cory, a former green-roofing entrepreneur turned permaculture farmer with a PhD in economics breaks down how his sheep-based "weed and feed" service went from a Fairfax County zoning fight to a business featured on Tucker Carlson Tonight and in The Washington Post, booking out six weeks in advance across the DC metro area and a new Louisville franchise. He covers pricing ($195–$295 per visit), rotational grazing, which weeds sheep love (crabgrass, creeping Charlie, poison ivy) versus what they won't touch, and even the company's off-season nativity scene gig. Plus: Evan and Greg riff on Segway trimming with a heavier operator, why cutting overgrown grass left the Toro MultiForce deck spotless, drought conditions and grass type differences across the Midwest, and more lawn care shop talk.   Tap Here for Turf Nerds Merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Look!

At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

Amusing, entertaining, and enjoyable—going on book distribution is all those things. It's definitely entertaining and enjoyable. But here is the key: when people feel hesitant to go on book distribution, oftentimes it's an imaginary scenario that it might be tricky when they get out there. The reason I notice many people hesitate to go out on book distribution, is because they think they have to perform, and they think everyone's going to be watching them. And if they don't perform, if they don't sell a book, then what'll they say when they get home? "I'll be regarded as a failure for the rest of my life." Is anybody thinking like that? Yes? No? Very good to be vulnerable and honest. I notice when I give seminars about how to distribute books, it's not that hard. But the part of the seminar where I teach how to distribute books starts with showing people why they might think about it and also how to do it in a few simple steps. But then, when it comes to actually walking out the door, a lot of people tell me that they just got a phone call from their mom who needs a peanut butter and jelly sandwich—and it's an emergency, and they have to go home. Otherwise, they would come out with us on book distribution. Poor Mom! Expectation is the mother of disappointment. So, what I have taken to doing before we all go out on book distribution is telling devotees that they're forbidden to distribute any books. We don't want anybody distributing any books, especially their first time. They're just going out to observe and see what it feels like to walk out the door. That's the first step. Therefore, we have this ritual which is called "Touching the Pavement." No distribution of books—just see how you feel walking out the door, and then if you have to go to the place where we were planning on distributing, you go there and you just touch the pavement. So, we have many photographs from around the world of groups of devotees going out, and we just have our foot on the pavement. And once you touch the pavement, you're done for the day; you don't have to do anything else. Since I started advocating for that, lots and lots of people come out to take the first step. Because when we expect something of ourselves and we are not sure if we're able to attain it, then we might hesitate. So, one of the ways to take that hesitation away is to change your expectation. Have no expectation at all of whether you are going to sell a book or not. Don't go out for that reason—to impress somebody, to impress yourself, or to see if you can do it. Just go out to see what it feels like. In fact, if you think about what Prabhupāda felt like when he got on the Jaladūta, and you think, "Well, I don't have a Jaladūta I can get on, but at least I can try this and feel the exhilaration of walking out the door and just seeing how I feel if I was going to distribute books." Now, one of the exhilarating aspects, which makes it fun, is...

Wanna work with us? Schedule a call here: https://go.oncehub.com/bookacall In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason Balin and Chris Haddon dive into one of the hardest truths of entrepreneurship and private lending: sometimes you have to experience the mistake yourself before the lesson really sticks. After completing thousands of loans and navigating the real-world challenges of lending, Jason and Chris share the "hot stove" moments that shaped how they built a successful private lending business — from underwriting discipline and managing defaults to raising capital, avoiding distractions, and staying focused on what actually drives growth. They discuss why: Over-leveraging deals and offering 100% financing can create painful lessons Conservative underwriting protects your capital and your reputation Brokering loans and chasing every opportunity can distract from your core business Strong deals are the foundation for raising capital at scale Shiny object syndrome can pull entrepreneurs away from what actually makes money Building a successful hard money lending business isn't about avoiding every mistake — it's about learning quickly, adjusting your strategy, and creating systems that protect your borrowers, investors, and business. Whether you're a new private lender or an experienced lender looking to scale, this episode offers real-world lessons from the mistakes, challenges, and breakthroughs that come with building a lending company.

In this episode, host Konstantinos Karagiannis reunites with longtime friends and co-founders of the Quantum Village, Mark Carney and Victoria Kumran, to preview their upcoming plans for DEF CON 34. Celebrating their fifth anniversary, the duo reflects on how the Quantum Village has evolved from a "hodgepodge" of quantum skepticism into an internationally recognized hub for open-source, hands-on hardware. Backed by their first-ever philanthropic grant from Mozilla, Victoria and Mark highlight how the village is breaking down academic barriers and empowering educators, security researchers and hobbyists alike to engage with complex quantum concepts on their own terms.   Get an exciting look at some of the village's wildest DIY achievements, including a recap of "Uncut Gem," a budget-friendly, open-source quantum magnetometer built using green LEDs and red filter gel instead of expensive laboratory lasers. They also dive into their newest $35 open-source creation, the "entropy loop," a quantum random number generator (QRNG) designed to build real intuition about vacuum fluctuations and phase diffusion. Touching on this year's DEF CON theme of "agency," the guests tackle how independent creators can push back against big-tech opacity by building and understanding their own secure systems. As with DEF CON in general, this episode covers a wide technical range, from how quantum sensors might detect alien signals to tinkering with a Raspberry Pi Pico. Also find out what two talks Konstantinos will be giving at the show this year.    For more on DEF CON, visit https://defcon.org/index.html.   For more on Quantum Village, visit https://quantumvillage.org/. Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker             Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

The Art of the Steal: Trump and the Economic Hit Man Presidency by John Perkins https://www.amazon.com/Art-Steal-Trump-Economic-Presidency/dp/B0G7VFBY21 Johnperkins.org Since World War II, US presidents of both parties have relied on an economic hit man strategy. They have used the four pillars of that strategy (fear, debt, anxiety over insufficiency, and divide and conquer) to control other nations and enrich a growing oligarchy. In the groundbreaking Confessions of an Economic Hit Man trilogy, John Perkins exposed the complex, expansive, and clandestine global network that serves the interests of powerful corporate, financial, and political entities. In The Art of the Steal, he reveals its most dangerous evolution. Donald Trump represents a historic shift. He is the first US president to turn the economic hit man strategy into a personal brand and governing style. He has ascended the four pillars, brought the playbook home, and reversed the march toward the American ideal of liberty, equality, justice, democracy, opportunity, and an individualism that supports family and community. At the same time, he has forced what was hidden into the open. This book explains how this happened, why it matters, and what each of us can do to turn things around. Both warning and blueprint, it offers a pathway to renewing the American ideal—and using it to model a new global ideal. About the author John Perkins is the author of 12 books on global intrigue, economics, shamanism, and transformation, including “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,” and “Touching the Jaguar.” They have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 70 weeks, sold millions of copies, and are published in at least 38 languages. His latest, “Message from Pleiades,” is the story of a life-and-world-changing experience in an ancient Mayan city; it is his first novel (written under the pen name of J P Moody). As chief economist at a major consulting firm, John advised the World Bank, UN, Fortune 500 corporations, US and other governments. He regularly speaks at universities and economic and environmental forums and is a founder of the Pachamama Alliance and Dream Change, non profit organizations that partner with indigenous people to protect environments and offer programs to change the destructive ways of industrial societies.

A few months ago, I came across an incredible video. It's the early 70s, and a local Chicago talk show is interviewing a doctor who wrote a sex education book that millions of people across the country were reading … unaware that it was full of wildly incorrect and frankly homophobic claims about homosexuals. The interview is going smoothly until suddenly a man jumps up from the studio audience and does what nobody else had dared — he confronts the doctor about his misinformation and demands he explain himself. That man in the audience was Murray Edelman, and I'm very excited to say that he's my guest this week on The Sewers of Paris.Here's the video — jump to 9:25 to see Murray's interruption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PChFM8kAjhw A quick reminder that I have a new video up on YouTube about the long, messy fight for marriage equality, check that out at https://YouTube.com/mattbaume.

The Shuffle Bois return to the well of 2000s Sword and Sandal films with the movie that started it all, Ridley Scott's 200 film Gladiator. After setting the table with some historical context about how the Roman Empire worked and the nature of actual historical gladiators, they turn to the film itself. They discuss the film's very end of history take on Roman history and politics, the nature of spectacle in a highly stylized film, the sexless hedonism of Gladiator, and its anachronistic view of patriotism. They close out with Ben giving a little book report on a wacky late antique primary source on the emperor Commodus and lamenting the film that might have been.⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

Kevin Milne feared he might “never see my wife again” as she drove off in a car with Sir Sam Neill for horse-riding lessons, but the equally shy pair were instead like “two 15-year-olds on a first date”. The former Fair Go presenter this morning shared a touching story of when his wife Linda Milne helped the future movie superstar prepare for his role in the 1979 Australian period drama My Brilliant Career. Linda's experience matched the contrast between the “commanding characters that the great man played and the quiet, almost shy, person he was personally”, Milne told Newstalk ZB's Saturday Mornings with Jack Tame. Tributes for the Kiwi star of the big screen best known for his leading role in Jurassic Park have been shared around the world since he died aged 78 of pneumonia in a Sydney hospital on Monday. “I've a story that goes back to when Sam had just become a household name in New Zealand [after] he had played the lead role of Smith in Sleeping Dogs [in 1977]”, Milne told Tame. The couple had known Neill for a year or two when he called asking if Linda could coach him on how to manage a horse on hills, as he'd just landed a role in My Brilliant Career. Sam Neill needed to hone his horse-riding skills for a starring role in 1979 Australian period drama My Brilliant Career. “Sam was a lad of gentle charm and exceptionally good looks. For Linda, a very shy 22-year-old, the thought of spending an afternoon on her own with the gorgeous Sam Neill freaked her a bit. “Anyway, they head off in the car together, two gorgeous people on the journey to where Linda kept her horse. I feared I might never see my wife again.” But Linda quickly discovered the accomplished actor whose future credits would include The Piano and Hunt for the Wilderpeople was “every bit as shy as she was”. “As they drove along, not only was she struggling to get a sentence out to Sam, but the star of Sleeping Dogs was having equal difficulty thinking of what to say to her. “They were like two 15-year-olds on a first date. For a long time, she says, there was awkward silence.” A stop at the dairy helped break the ice when his wife Linda Milne, left, helped actor Sam Neill prepare a role in 1979's My Brilliant Career, says former Fair Go presenter Kevin Milne, centre. Also pictured is Tommie Milne, the youngest of Kevin and Linda Milne's four children. Photo / Hagen Hopkins Fortunately, a shop came into view, Milne said. “Sam broke the ice … ‘Shall we stop at the dairy and I'll buy some Summer Rolls?' A very sweet offer from the movie star, which Linda accepted. “Communications must have improved enough for Linda to show Sam how to handle a horse on hills, because the following year we watched him do it up on the big screen, so strikingly, so elegantly in the highly successful My Brilliant Career.” Cherie Howie is an Auckland-based reporter who joined the Herald in 2011.

This week's video is the sixth part in Nate's ongoing series, How to Think About the Future. Today, Nate turns from describing possible futures to exploring how we can make decisions when certainty is impossible. He introduces a framework for planning under uncertainty by distinguishing between two common mistakes – failing to respond to real risks, and taking decisive action based on incomplete understanding. Touching on examples like soil health, social trust, and children's developmental windows, Nate also advocates that the most important compass for navigating the future is learning to distinguish between what can be rebuilt and what cannot. Overall, this episode examines how thoughtful planning requires balancing action with humility, while avoiding solutions that unintentionally deepen the problems they seek to solve. Nate explores the value of "robust actions" that create benefits across many possible futures, while also reflecting on the role of personal calling alongside practical resilience. He ends with a call for listeners to act where their agency is most visible – rather than seeking certainty about what lies ahead, Nate offers a way of seeing the world that helps us remain grounded as the landscape around us continues to change. What deserves our greatest protection, if some losses can be recovered while others cannot? Why is it important to be aware of the cognitive errors we might be making when evaluating the bigger picture? And how can we make meaningful decisions when the future is uncertain and every choice involves tradeoffs?

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Paul Ziadé, CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies. A former tenured professor at the University of Calgary turned defence entrepreneur, Paul brings a deeply personal and historically literate perspective to the Canadian defence landscape. He shares his family's story of displacement from Lebanon and Armenia, and how that legacy of resilience informs his mission to build a sovereign missile capability for Canada.Paul offers a frank assessment of Canada's defence complacency, arguing that the culture of risk-aversion is “upstream of everything.” He explains why the obsession with “dual-use” investing is holding the country back, why pure-play defence innovation is critical, and how startups like his can deliver capability faster than the traditional 10-year procurement cycle. He also breaks down the massive opportunity presented by the Golden Dome NORAD modernization and why Canada must participate not just as a buyer, but as an active builder.Whether you're a defence founder navigating the Canadian ecosystem, an investor trying to understand the shift in risk capital, or a policy wonk watching the Arctic heat up, Paul Ziade delivers the kind of straight talk that cuts through the noise.From Civil War to Canadian Soil (00:01:20)* Paul's upbringing as the child of Lebanese-Armenian immigrants who fled civil war and genocide.* How his parents' appreciation for Canada's peace and rule of law instilled a deep sense of responsibility.* The household rule: “Laziness was never an option” , competitive soccer, piano, student government, and French schooling.The Kennedy Space Center Spark (00:04:00)* How a grade 10 family trip to the Kennedy Space Center “lit the fuse” for his obsession with rocketry.* Touching the Saturn V and realizing what human ingenuity could achieve.* Why he needed a strong goal to anchor his focus and drive.Academia to Entrepreneurship (00:05:38)* Why he left a tenured professorship after 10 years at the University of Calgary.* The mindset shift: moving from committee-driven, overthinking academic life to the velocity and action-mentality of startups.* How academia trained him to be a better communicator, but startup life gave him instant feedback on every decision.The North Vector Vision (00:08:53)* The mission: precision missile systems on every continent protecting allies and Canada.* Full-spectrum air defence , from low-and-slow drones to hypersonic threats.* Assembling the “Avengers” team from his university labs, including co-founders Craig (aerospace research chair) and Colin (former TA).The Supply Chain Blind Spot (00:10:36)* Canada's massive gap in energetics , from solid rocket motors to warheads, and upstream chemical synthesis (RDX, HMX, C4 propellants).* Why “vertically integrated” doesn't always mean what people think.* The need for government signals to encourage private companies to take the risk and spool up.Defence Investing: Then vs. Now (00:14:48)* In 2022, no one wanted to look at North Vector , squeamishness around defence was rampant.* The gap between the narrative and reality on the ground in Canada.* Why most Canadian investors are still obsessed with “dual-use” investing, which Paul argues is historically misguided.The Dual-Use Delusion (00:29:31)* The problem with forcing every defence tech to have a civilian application.* Historical examples: GPS (missile guidance), duct tape (waterproof ammunition sealing).* The parallel to basic science , pure math and quantum mechanics funded with no immediate application, yet yielding enormous real-world benefits.Canada vs. The U.S. (00:18:43)* Honest admission: it's easier to build defence tech south of the border.* Why North Vector chose to stay in Canada despite the friction.* Canada as a “frontier market” , a massive opportunity for those willing to build.* The debt of gratitude to the country that gave his family refuge.ACDC & The 70% Target (00:21:20)* Paul co-chairs the Alliance of Canadian Defence Companies (ACDC) , now nearly 200 members.* The goal: champion Canadian-owned, Canadian-controlled companies and advocate for fast contracts.* Holding the government accountable to the Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) without displacing primes.In-Q-Tel & The Culture Shift (00:23:16)* What a Canadian version of In-Q-Tel would need to get right.* The critical need: give delegated authorities permission to take risks and accept failure as part of the process.* Moving money out the door faster to small, scrappy startups that could win big.The Golden Dome Opportunity (00:27:13)* Canada's lack of commitment to NORAD modernization and the Golden Dome.* The upside: a $500B–$1.2T opportunity.* Paul's proposed win-win: “Give Trump the $61B win, but ensure $40B goes to Canadian firms.”* How Canada can participate as an active builder, not just a buyer.About Paul ZiadéPaul Ziadé is the CEO and co-founder of North Vector Dynamics, a Calgary-based company building full-spectrum precision missile systems for Canada and its allies.

As Marlow prepares for his journey to the Congo, he visits a psychiatrist who gives him his first glimpse at what he is getting himself into. His introduction into the pseudoscience of phrenology is an ideological starting point for his journey to Africa. Reader and character alike are hit with a wave of disorienting feelings as Marlow has his first interactions with the people of Congo, seeing how they are dehumanized. In the modern day, controversy rages around whether this depiction of Africans represents author Joseph Conrad's view, a larger western view that has been enshrined in the study of history, or just the viewpoint of a character in a book.  This is the second episode in a series on Heart of Darkness. It covers most of Chapter 1 of the book, Marlow's journey to Africa, and his first interactions with the people of the Congo. We also discuss Chinua Achebe's famous critique of the book. Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) is both a scathing critique of European imperialism and a reminder that all humans have the capacity to succumb to the heart of darkness. It also is not without controversy, as people have been debating it's meaning and essence for over a century now.  -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Jeff Schulze of ClearBridge Investments explains to host John Przygocki why he maintains a constructive outlook for the US economy, putting the odds of recession in the next 12 months at just 20%. Touching on the potential inflation implications of June's jobs report and falling oil prices, Schulze also examines shifting stock-bond correlations and argues that current S&P 500 valuations, while elevated, are supported by strong earnings. He believes that, while we may see volatility this midterm election year, the fundamental backdrop remains supportive for equities in the second half of 2026.

We have all become desensitized. Every place is like every other place, every experience is happening at a remove and on a screen. And Ian Bogost, a Washington University professor and a writer at The Atlantic, argues that this "dematerialization" is making our life worse. Ian joins David to explain how to once again commune with the world. He tells us of the magic of paper tickets, why he's kind of obsessed with the rubber on his water bottle, and why you don't need to throw phone into the ocean — but you should probably watch more ASMR videos.

Modern life has, in many ways, removed us from the environments in which our ancestors lived and adapted. Not only do we spend time looking at screens, but we spend time indoors, or outdoors but in urban spaces. How does this affect how we think and feel? Psychologist Marc Berman is a pioneer of "environmental neuroscience." In his recent book, Nature and the Mind: The Science of How Nature Improves Cognitive, Physical, and Social Well-Being, he presents evidence that spending time in nature not only puts us in a better mood, it makes us better thinkers.

In this episode, Mike and Tim explore the nuanced landscape of salvation, church community, and spiritual growth through a centered set approach. They challenge traditional boundaries, emphasizing that salvation is a journey rather than a destination, and highlight the importance of allowing people space to grow in their relationship with Jesus.Mike and Tim continue their conversation about center-set thinking and what it looks like to follow Jesus in a way that emphasizes relationship, growth, and grace rather than rigid boundaries.They begin with some lighthearted banter about endurance races, introversion, rest, and pop culture before moving into a deeper theological conversation about salvation, repentance, discipleship, and the differences between bounded-set and center-set approaches to church life.-The meaning of center-set language in Christian community-Why Jesus often seems to welcome people from many different directions-The tension between in-or-out thinking and process-oriented discipleship-Why salvation in the New Testament is described in multiple ways-How church culture can create pressure to “pretend” instead of grow-The difference between judgment and discernment-How church leadership can clarify the center without creating unnecessary barriers-Why invitation works better than coercion, shame, or fear-The danger of double standards in churches-How truth can be pursued rather than merely possessed-Why systems built on power often become more about control than transformationThe big idea of the episode is that following Jesus is a journey of becoming, not a checkpoint to pass. Mike argues that people should be allowed to grow into their identity in Christ over time, with the church serving more like a welcoming center than a gatekeeping wall.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction to the episode: Embracing the journey of salvation01:00 - How many paths lead to Jesus?

On the auspicious day of Jyeshtha Purnima, Sadhguru explores the profound significance of Kalabhairava – Shiva's fierce manifestation as the very embodiment of time and the master of life and death. Through ancient legends, the story of Brahma's fifth head, and the significance of Kashi, he explains how Kalabhairava dissolves ignorance, and stands at the threshold between life and death. Sadhguru also speaks about Bhairavi Yatana – the intense process through which lifetimes of karma can dissolve in the final moments of life – and why dogs across cultures are believed to sense approaching death. Touching on the symbolism of the numbers eight and sixty‑four in the Yogic tradition, biology, and mathematics, he reveals how these patterns echo through creation.

Welcome to Day 2894 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2894 – “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:28-36 Putnam Church Message – 05/31/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.”   Last week's message was “A Shocking Agenda,” in which we learned to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus, which is not the way to lose our life.  According to Jesus, that is the only way to truly find it. Today, we continue with our twenty-sixth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:28--36, on page 1609 of your pew Bibles. The Transfiguration 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving>Jesus, / Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.) 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts. We confess that we often see only what is right in front of us — our problems, our pain, our schedules, our fears, our disappointments. But Your Word reminds us that there is more than what we can see with our eyes. There is glory beyond suffering, resurrection beyond death, and a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. Lord Jesus, as we look today at Your transfiguration, open our hearts to see You more clearly. Strengthen our faith. Quiet our fears. Teach us to listen to You. Help us follow You not only when the road is easy, but also when the road leads through sacrifice and suffering. May we leave this place with renewed confidence that Your will, Your way, all the way, is always best. Amen. Introduction: Our Hunger for Something More We live in an interesting age. I think we live in the most exciting age ever. That is why I would love to live another 70 years. We are at the threshold of major breakthroughs in all areas of life. Not everyone agrees with me. On one hand, skepticism is loud. Many people claim that nothing exists beyond what can be measured, tested, touched, or explained by science. They say the material universe is all there is. And yet, at the very same time, interest in the supernatural continues to grow. People watch shows about UFO sightings. They read books about near-death experiences. They watch movies about unseen worlds, spiritual forces, mysterious signs, angels, ghosts, and life beyond death. Even people who say they do not believe in God often feel that there must be something more. Why? Because deep inside the human soul is a longing to know that we are not alone. We want to know that our lives matter. We want to know that suffering is not meaningless. We want to know that death is not the end. We want to know that beyond the visible world lies a greater reality. That longing is not new. It goes back as far as humanity itself. Every culture in every age has looked beyond itself, searching the heavens for someone or something greater. In today's passage, three disciples receive what we might call the ultimate close encounter. Peter, John, and James are allowed to see behind the curtain. For a brief moment, the veil between earth and heaven is pulled back. They see Jesus in glory. They see Moses and Elijah alive. They hear the voice of God the Father. And they learn something they desperately needed to know. In the previous message, “A Shocking Agenda,” Jesus told His disciples that He must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and be raised on the third day. Then He said that anyone who wants to follow Him must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Him. / That was not what they expected. They expected the Messiah to march into Jerusalem, overthrow Rome, and restore Israel's glory. Instead, Jesus spoke of suffering, rejection, death, and surrender. So now, about eight days later, Jesus takes three of them up a mountain to pray. There, He gives them a glimpse of the glory on the other side of the cross. The message is clear: The road of Jesus may pass through suffering, but it ends in glory. Let's look at four truths that will explain this in our bulletin insert. Main Point 1: Jesus Reveals His Glory in the Place of Prayer Luke tells us that about eight days after Jesus said these things, He took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. That detail matters. Luke has repeatedly shown us that Jesus prayed at key moments. He prayed at His baptism. He withdrew often to lonely places to pray. He prayed before choosing the Twelve. He will pray in Gethsemane before the cross. Here again, Jesus goes up the mountain to pray. In Scripture, mountains often become places of divine encounter. Moses met God on Mount Sinai. Elijah heard the gentle whisper of God on Mount Horeb. Later, Jesus would teach on mountains, pray on mountains, and eventually be crucified near Jerusalem on a hill called Golgotha. So, when Luke tells us Jesus goes up a mountain to pray, we should lean in. Something important is about to happen. / As Jesus is praying, His appearance changes. Matthew says His face shines like the sun. Mark says His clothing becomes dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach it. Luke says the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white.  This is not stage lighting. / This is not imagination. / This is not the sun hitting His robe at just the right angle. / The glory that had always belonged to Jesus begins to shine through His humanity. For most of His earthly life, the glory of the eternal Son of God was veiled. People saw a real man from Nazareth. They saw Him tired. Hungry. Weeping. Sleeping in a boat. Walking dusty roads. Sitting at tables. Touching lepers. Holding children. Teaching crowds. / But on the mountain, for a few moments, the veil is pulled back. The disciples see that the One they follow is not merely a teacher. Not merely a prophet. Not merely a miracle worker. Not merely a wise rabbi. / He is the glorious Son of God. Object Lesson: The Covered Lamp Imagine a lamp covered with a thick cloth. The lamp is shining, but the cloth hides most of the light. You may see a little glow around the edges, but not the full brightness. / Now remove the covering. / The light floods the room. That is a simple picture of what happens on the mountain. Jesus does not become glorious for the first time. His glory is revealed. John later writes that the Word became flesh and lived among us, and “we have seen his glory.” Peter later writes that he was an eyewitness of Christ's majesty. / This moment stayed with them. Ancient Context For Jewish disciples, shining glory would immediately connect with the presence of God. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after speaking with God, his face shone so brightly that the people were afraid to come near him. / But Moses reflected glory.  / Jesus reveals glory. Moses came down from the mountain with God's law. Jesus stands on the mountain as God's Son. / That distinction matters. Jesus is greater than Moses. Greater than Elijah. Greater than every prophet,...

Send Jackie A Message!The recovery side of wellness (saunas, cold plunge, contrast therapy) is on track to nearly triple over the next decade to almost $27 billion, and almost nobody in the yoga and Pilates industry is moving on it yet. If you have been working harder than ever and growth has still stalled, this episode explains why.Here is the shift: your members do not want just a workout anymore. They want a result. McKinsey surveyed more than 9,000 consumers and found wellness has become a daily practice, with people buying outcomes like sleep, recovery, and energy. Meanwhile, most people who quit a studio do not leave over price. They leave because they stopped seeing results or got bored, and half are gone within 90 days.In this solo episode, Jackie Murphy breaks down what your members are really asking for, why studios are too slow to give it to them, and the one recovery move you can make this quarter to get a full year ahead of your market.

The fitness recovery market was about $8 billion last year and is projected to hit nearly $27 billion by 2035. Very few yoga and Pilates studios offer it yet, which is exactly why the window is open now.Do I need to build a sauna or cold plunge to start? No. Start with a weekly recovery or restorative class, partner with a local sauna or cold plunge spot, or add a simple product like compression boots. Prove demand first, then scale.How much revenue can a recovery add-on generate? As an example, 200 members at $129 a month with a $59 add-on adopted by 40% of members is about $5K in new monthly recurring revenue, or roughly $60K a year, without acquiring a single new member.Why do members really quit a studio? Price is usually not the top reason. Most people leave because they stopped seeing results or got bored, and about half quit within the first 90 days.Connect with Jackie on Instagram @studioceoofficial for weekly industry insights.Work with Jackie MurphySay Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficialJoin The Studio CEO Program: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceoThe Grow Mastermind: https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/mastermind

In this episode, Mike and Tim explore the nuanced landscape of salvation, church community, and spiritual growth through a centered set approach. They challenge traditional boundaries, emphasizing that salvation is a journey rather than a destination, and highlight the importance of allowing people space to grow in their relationship with Jesus.Mike and Tim continue their conversation about center-set thinking and what it looks like to follow Jesus in a way that emphasizes relationship, growth, and grace rather than rigid boundaries.They begin with some lighthearted banter about endurance races, introversion, rest, and pop culture before moving into a deeper theological conversation about salvation, repentance, discipleship, and the differences between bounded-set and center-set approaches to church life.-The meaning of center-set language in Christian community-Why Jesus often seems to welcome people from many different directions-The tension between in-or-out thinking and process-oriented discipleship-Why salvation in the New Testament is described in multiple ways-How church culture can create pressure to “pretend” instead of grow-The difference between judgment and discernment-How church leadership can clarify the center without creating unnecessary barriers-Why invitation works better than coercion, shame, or fear-The danger of double standards in churches-How truth can be pursued rather than merely possessed-Why systems built on power often become more about control than transformationThe big idea of the episode is that following Jesus is a journey of becoming, not a checkpoint to pass. Mike argues that people should be allowed to grow into their identity in Christ over time, with the church serving more like a welcoming center than a gatekeeping wall.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction to the episode: Embracing the journey of salvation01:00 - How many paths lead to Jesus?
