Jonathan D.T. Ward, author of The Decisive Decade: American Grand Strategy for Triumph Over China, defines the 2020s as a "decisive decade" during which the United States must execute a new grand strategy to defeat the Russia-China axis. He characterizes the relationship between Putin and Xi as a profound military and philosophical alliance aimed at ending American preeminence. Ward argues that China seeks to overcome its geographical weaknesses through expansionist projects like the Belt and Road Initiative, which converts economic power into global military footprints. A core concept in the book is the "second great divergence," where the world's democracies must seize the lead in the fourth industrial revolution while denying technological and capital access to dictatorships. Ward stresses that Taiwan is the strategic "lock" on the Pacific, and its fall would permanently shift the military balance in Asia. He advocates for the total rebuilding of the American industrial base and the creation of an "arsenal of democracy" to counter China's superior manufacturing output. Ward recommends a "two-track" diplomatic approach: consolidating existing alliances like the Quad while out-competing China for influence in the emerging world through real investment rather than lectures. He concludes that the private sector must be aligned with national security interests, forming a "corporate battle fleet" to win the long-term economic and technological competition.

On A Ruck Up Buttercup Podcast, host Ashley interviews Nicole Gebhardt—2026 National Guard Military Spouse of the Year, best-selling author, mother, and recovering addict—who shares her “pain to purpose” journey and the importance of community for military spouses. Nicole recounts childhood sexual abuse by her father, a gang rape in college, miscarriages, and the death of her son Samuel at nine weeks old, followed by being treated as a criminal and enduring an abusive, drug-addicted first marriage before fleeing with her children while pregnant. After remarrying a service member, unhealed trauma led to heavy drinking and a 2019 suicide attempt that she survived, prompting sobriety and intensive healing. She now writes books, coaches women, and starts pregnancy/infant loss and addiction support groups with each PCS, urging spouses to ask for help, practice gratitude, communicate, and build community. 00:00 Welcome and Trigger Warning 03:29 Nicole's Pain to Purpose 05:40 Childhood Abuse and College Assault 06:47 Miscarriage and Infant Loss 07:31 Escaping Abuse and Starting Over 08:54 Alcoholism and Suicide Attempt 09:48 Recovery and Building Support Groups 12:25 Finding Her Voice Publicly 17:01 Military Spouse Community Rally 20:46 Moving to Alaska and Healing Deeper 23:33 Honoring Samuel and Talking with Kids 25:17 Journaling and Daily Affirmations 27:29 How to Support Grieving Parents 32:18 Build Your Community After PCS 37:02 Sharing Support Networks 38:11 Spouse of the Year Connections 40:09 You Cannot Do It Alone 41:44 Books Groups and Coaching 42:53 Hard Topics We Avoid 45:10 Boundaries and Honest Parenting 48:12 Addiction and Healthy Coping 49:58 Healing Habits and Self Care 55:01 Marriage Communication and Love 01:01:16 Find Your Community 01:04:22 Closing Encouragement Connect with Nicole Website: http://www.nicolebgebhardt.com/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/nicolebgebhardtofficial Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolegebhardtheals IG: https://www.instagram.com/nicole.gebhardt Email: nicolebgebhardt@gmail.com Books: Broken Wings Broken Dreams: A Mother's Life After Infant Loss and Miscarriage The Healing Cocoon : A Mother's Emergence After Infant and Pregnancy Loss A Queen Saves Herself: A Story of Triumph and Transformation The Queen's Companion Book: Rule Your Throne.

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#218 Jimonthy Crickets! - Podcast Show Notes & Summery 8-1-26 Quick Summary Tim and Nate open with the usual technical chaos—Nate's ancient camera older than his kids, USB hub murders, Windows being Windows, and a new meshy chair—before Tim scrapes himself off the floor with minimal coffee. The big gaming bombshell is Nintendo snagging a FromSoftware exclusive (Dustbloods) led by Miyazaki himself: Bloodborne-vibes, industrial revolution setting, up to eight-player PvE, and Tim is currently in the closed NDA network test. Microsoft brings four original Xbox classics to PC (Fusion Frenzy, Crimson Skies, Conker's Live and Reloaded), sparking preservation vs. "just sell it again" debate. Nate digs into the new Halo campaign on PC while Tim's wrist is still sidelining him. Entertainment covers Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Tim is all-in), American Psycho after a four-and-a-half-hour serial-killer museum visit, and the couple literally dodging the Bite of Seattle shooting by having a fight and going home. Life wraps with raccoon babies, the local "Jimmathy" meme, and Nate's wife getting back on two wheels with a nearly-new 2025 Triumph Speed Twin 900. Classic Fork energy from start to duck-call finish. Detailed Show Notes
Scripture: Matthew 26:57-75 Date: July 12, 2026 In this sermon we discuss Matthew 26, focusing on Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin and Peter's denial in the courtyard. The pastor presents Jesus' silence before false witnesses, his confession before Caiaphas, and the condemnation and mocking that follow as the fulfillment of Old Testament passages about the suffering Messiah.The sermon also contrasts Jesus' faithfulness with Peter's repeated denials and bitter repentance after the rooster crows. It concludes by emphasizing Jesus as judge, savior, and advocate, and by calling listeners to repentance, faith, and bold confession of Christ. Topics: Matthew 26, Sanhedrin, Peter's denial, Caiaphas, false witnesses, suffering Messiah, Old Testament fulfillment, rooster crowing, repentance, bold confession Chapters 00:00:03 — Jesus on Trial 00:04:47 — False Witnesses Gather 00:06:50 — Christ Stands Silent 00:07:40 — Peter Denies Jesus 00:13:28 — Silent Servant of God 00:20:30 — Verdict and Sentence 00:22:32 — Peter's Bitter Tears 00:29:35 — Jesus Prays for Peter 00:32:58 — Restoration and Hope 00:34:39 — Our Trial Before God 00:37:43 — Rooster of Remembrance
In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with Austin Frink, the resilient front‑man of the hard‑rock duo Bastion Rose. Austin shares the harrowing journey that turned his life upside‑down: the sudden discovery of metastatic thyroid cancer that threatened his voice, the loss of his parents, and the grueling recovery that forced him to whisper for months before reclaiming his singing.Through those dark chapters, music became his lifeline. Austin walks us through the evolution of Bastion Rose—from its early days as Blue Rising to the symbolic name that blends strength (a bastion) with fragile beauty (a rose). He reveals the band's creative philosophy—making music that's true to themselves rather than chasing trends—and dives into the songs that have become anthems of resilience, like the haunting “Dust” and the deeply personal “October 29.”We also hear how fans' messages of gratitude remind Austin why he keeps writing: offering solace, power, and hope to anyone feeling powerless. Along the way, he drops his biggest musical influences (from Black Sabbath's “Iron Man” to Tool's intricate rhythms), talks about his love for cinematic soundtracks, and even debates the impact of AI‑generated music on real artists.If you're looking for a conversation that blends raw vulnerability, gritty rock, and the healing power of sound, you've come to the right place.Grab your headphones, press play, and let Austin's story remind you that even when words stumble, music always has something to say.

Send us Fan MailHustle culture tells you to grind harder, but your soul seems to be asking for something else. We're talking about biblical rest as more than sleep, more than “self-care,” and definitely more than laziness. I'm joined by Mrs.Darius Thompson, founder of Ruth Marie Co, a faith-rooted business offering Christian coaching, guided journals, and devotional tools for women walking through growth, grief, and transition, and she brings a powerful framework for understanding what God is actually inviting us into.We break down three kinds of rest found in Scripture: physical Sabbath rest (the command to cease), spiritual rest for the weary soul (Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11), and the eternal rest we enter because of Christ's finished work. From the Israelites and manna to the warning signs of burnout, we keep coming back to one idea: rest is dependence. If you've ever felt like slowing down means you're falling behind, we name how that mindset can become self-sufficiency, striving, and even a hidden idol of control.Take a listen and after this conversation helps you breathe again, subscribe, share it with a friend who's burned out, and leave a review so more survivors can find real rest!Please check the show notes below for Darius's blog , media platforms and website info!About our guest : Mrs .

Imagine being three years old in the heart of the Congo. Your father has just died of cancer. Your mother is left alone to raise five children in a world of poverty, tribal conflict, and political chaos. By every human measure, your future should have been written in hardship and limitation. But that is not the story God wrote for Athanase Kadita Tshibaka—known to friends andcolleagues simply as A.T. In his powerful new memoir, Son of the Congo: A Journey of Tragedy, Triumph, and Transformation, A.T. takes us across six continents and nearly eight decades of an extraordinary life. From near-expulsion as a troubled student to graduating with top honors fromDartmouth and the Tuck School of Business, from surviving coups, wrongful imprisonment, and boardroom battles, to rising as a senior leader at Citigroup overseeing risk across 77 emerging markets, then serving as interim CEO ofOpportunity International.

In the final week of our series, Anchored: A Journey Through Isaiah 55, Pastor Patrick teaches from Isaiah 55:12–13. To a weary and discouraged nation living in exile, God promised the Israelites that He could take what had been ruined and create something with purpose again.

This week brings another installment of “Degrees Of Separation…,” where we dig into the side projects, supergroups, and solo releases connected to a particular artist. This time, we pay tribute to a rock n' roll workhorse and journeyman from the Great White North: a jack-of-all-trades musician who seems to be single-handedly keeping many of the legacy artists we love in fighting shape. He's not only a multi-instrumentalist and consummate rock star, but he also has some of the best pipes in the business. Of course, we're talking about TODD “DAMMIT” KERNS!!! New to InObscuria? It's all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While you may know Todd primarily as Slash's bass player and backing vocalist, you may not realize just how deep his catalog of side projects runs—or how many artists he has supported throughout his career. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new! Songs this week include: Minefield - “All American Man” from Minefield (2021) Smash L.A. - “Breakin' All The Rules” from Law ‘N' Authority (1989) Blackbird Angels - “Mine (All Mine)” from Solsorte (2023) The Age Of Electric - “Remote Control” from Make A Pest A Pet (1997) Sin City Sinners - “Goin' To Vegas” from Exile On Fremont Street (2010) Bob Kulick - “Rich Man” from Skeletons In The Closet (2017) Todd Kerns - “You Know What You Did” from TKO (2016) Static In Stereo - “Overboard” from Static In Stereo (2002) Toque - “The Spirit Of Radio” from Never Enough (2019) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/ Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

Send us Fan MailYou can ride the Rocky Mountains and still feel strangely rushed, like you brought the whole world with you to 12,000 feet. I'm Ron Francis, and from my home base in Loveland, Colorado, I want to share what I've learned after decades around Rocky Mountain National Park and thousands of guided tours: the “secret” to mountain motorcycling isn't a hidden route, it's the subtle shifts that change your entire experience. Timing, pace, and presence turn a loud, chaotic vacation into something that stays in your memory for life. We talk about why so many riders blow past the best parts of the Rockies because of schedules, hotel reservations, and GPS arrival times and how to break that pattern without sacrificing a solid plan. I connect a core riding skill, slow in, fast out, to trip planning: set your day up early, ride off-peak, and let the mountains meet you when the air is crisp, the sunrise hits the peaks, and the crowds are still asleep. We also get very practical about slowing your pace, loosening your grip, widening your vision, and noticing what you came for: pine-scented air, flickering aspens, canyon walls, and the steady calm that comes with altitude and space. Then I share a true story from an 11,000-foot meadow with a family visiting from Chicago, where intentional silence opens the door to awe and a kind of peace of mind that's hard to describe until you feel it. Whether you call that voice God, Mother Nature, or simply the relief of mental clutter melting away, it's available to you on two wheels if you ride in a way that makes room for it.

This episode of FreightWaves Today covers key developments across logistics, freight technology, and the industrial economy: Key Episode Highlights & Topics Industry News & AI Breakthroughs: The hosts review major headlines, including JB Hunt's partnership with startup Overroot to deploy AI-led freight execution platform agents across millions of loads. They also examine Forward Air's nonbinding agreement to retain 50% to 75% of a crucial $250 million account (believed to be NVIDIA) that was at risk due to customer diversification, alongside MARAD's agreement with the Port of Long Beach to test small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Modal Shifts & Bulk Logistics with Circle Logistics: Nicholas Schipe, Director of Premium Transportation at Circle Logistics, discusses automotive expedited shipping, intermodal conversions, and chemical/liquid bulk freight. He highlights how supply disruptions, port downtimes, and domestic energy production trends (like wastewater and transformer oils) drive modal shifts between rail and truckload. AI and Automation in Warehousing: Andre Luecht, Global Strategy Lead for Transport & Logistics at Zebra Technologies, details how "physical AI," mobile devices, and environmental sensors (e.g., tracking temperature, shock, and ripening gases) empower frontline warehouse workers. He explains how smart assistants give frontline workers instant access to tribal knowledge and standard operating procedures. AAR Rail Data Analysis: The hosts break down the latest Association of American Railroads (AAR) weekly report, pointing to overall volume growth (up 3.4% total traffic, 3.8% intermodal) as a strong indicator of industrial momentum. They contrast solid U.S. demand with declines in Canadian auto parts and commodities tied to trade policy uncertainties. Class 8 Truck Orders & Used Market Dynamics: Chris Ciolino (Industrials Analyst from Bloomberg Intelligence) shares insights on strong Class 8 truck orders and dealer sentiment. He notes that while order backlogs are full through early 2027, much of the volume represents replacement demand ahead of EPA 2027 regulations rather than aggressive fleet expansion, due in part to driver shortages, engine pricing, and tariff impacts. Earnings & Financial Trends with Triumph: Aaron Graft, CEO and Founder of Triumph, breaks down their spectacular Q2 earnings. He reports a 26% increase in average invoice size in their factoring business and highlights why this tight, supply-driven freight market feels structural rather than short-lived. He also discusses operational efficiencies, their 65% market touch in brokered freight, and the rapid 49% growth of their LoadPay digital wallet product.
