Sometimes, our coming to Christ has a lot of hurdles we have to get past before we find life in Jesus. Join us as we look to the encounter that Jesus has with Thomas following his resurrection and see what this passage shows us about how Jesus meets us in our doubts. 

What do you do when your life feels like it's in ruins and God seems silent? This week, Pastor Brandon continues our Ruins to Revival series as we begin Ezra chapter 1. After 70 years of exile, God fulfills His promise to bring His people back to Jerusalem — but He does it in an unexpected way by stirring the heart of King Cyrus. Ezra reminds us that God is dependable, God is trustworthy, and God is always working even when we can't see what He is doing. No matter how impossible the situation may feel, God can move hearts, remove obstacles, and use unexpected people to accomplish His purposes. If your marriage, finances, health, family, career, or future feels like it's sitting in the rubble, this message is a reminder that God sees your ruins and He has not forgotten your story.

What does it look like when Jesus truly changes your life? In Colossians 4, Dr. Caleb Brown looks at the lives of Onesimus and Tychicus—two men whose lives give us a picture of what it means to live the Jesus Way. Onesimus shows us what transformation looks like, while Tychicus shows us what it means to become trustworthy. Following Jesus isn't simply about knowing the right things or agreeing with the right things. It's about becoming the kind of person whose life reflects the way of Jesus—someone who is transformed by Him and faithful with whatever He places in their hands. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

Marketers assume the moment consumers spot a sales pitch, their guard goes up and the message dies. New research says that's only half the story. Sometimes recognizing persuasion makes people trust a brand more, not less.This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by Kellogg School of Management professor Kent Grayson, who has spent decades studying trust, deception and authenticity. He explains the three building blocks every brand draws on to earn trust, plus how to diagnose which one you're actually missing. The team also digs into whether TV itself works as a trust signal, and why AI could erode the founder story the same way paid deals eroded influencers.Topics covered: [03:30] What the persuasion knowledge model really says [07:30] Why people distrust "advertising" but trust the ads they watch [10:30] Trust's three buckets: competence, honesty and benevolence [15:30] Character-based trust vs assurance-based trust [19:00] Can a media channel be a trust signal? [21:30] How AI threatens the founder story [26:00] Trustworthy creative starts with a trustworthy strategy  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources: 2017 KelloggInsight Research: https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/how-to-make-ads-that-even-savvy-customers-trustKent Grayson's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kent-grayson-3a0894126/ Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

How can we know the Bible is trustworthy? Luke 1:1–4 shows us that Scripture is written by credible authors and grounded in eyewitness testimony, historical events, and careful presentation. These foundations give us confidence that the Bible is true and that our faith rests on solid ground. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

The sermon explores the nature of genuine trust in Christ through the historical example of Polycarp and the biblical figure of John. It contrasts superficial belief with deep, costly commitment by highlighting how John abandoned prosperity and risked his life to remain faithful to Jesus. The narrative emphasizes that true discipleship requires a heart loyal to God, even amidst persecution and suffering. By examining Jesus entrusting John with His gospel and mother, the message illustrates the profound responsibility placed on those whom God trusts. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to examine their own hearts and determine if they are worthy of the divine trust required for effective service.

Pastor Hank and Miss Mona continue their discussion of heaven by looking at Revelation 21:5-9. Jesus told John to write these words because they are trustworthy and true.

It often looks foolish to trust & obey God. What will help us trust Him?

In this episode of The Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques are joined by Cisco's Technical Leader in Machine Learning Engineering, Dr. Catarina Carvalho, to explore her pioneering concept of "AI Ergonomics," which frames human engagement as a fundamental design principle for AI development rather than a post-development chore. The conversation examines the complexities of human-in-the-loop validation, highlighting how moving beyond simple binary feedback like "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" is essential for mitigating bias and ensuring AI systems align with practical human needs and well-being. Dr. Carvalho explains how incorporating cognitive interviews and social motivation can improve data quality, helping developers bridge the gap between model accuracy and user trust in our increasingly non-deterministic generative AI landscape. Thank you to Dr. Catarina Carvalho for sharing her research and insights on the future of collaborative AI design.

Hey y'all ! Welcome to another Wednesday with CWCOI ! In this week's episode, our host, Ally Yost talks about the reality of consuming social media and saturated Christian content. God is using social media in so many incredible ways but there are things we need to be weary of as well. At the end of the day, social media and even this podcast are just tools to allow us to learn more about Jesus but we shouldn't be the heart of our relationship with Him. "You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete."

You decide whether you trust a brand in about seven seconds — before you've read a word, just from how it looks. So how do the smartest brands earn that trust, and keep it? Margot Bloomstein — brand and content strategist, founder of Appropriate, Inc., and author of Trustworthy - joins us to unpack the three qualities that make a brand credible: voice, volume, and vulnerability. A practical half-hour for anyone who builds, writes for, or looks after a brand.

My 24-hour-trip to our nation's capital to see the Dead Sea Scrolls...whoa. Yes, the Bible is trustworthy! Then, my encounter with three of DC's finest. God is good indeed!

Today we hear what James Rebsco from Striveworks has to say about solving this problem for the federal government. Rebesco suggests beginning with a deep understanding of the problem. Once you make sure the solution makes sense, then look at AI opportunities that can help solve the problem. Applying the solution to real-world situations can be difficult. One may produce a model that behaves flawlessly in a clean, air-conditioned environment. In the real world, the situation is changing daily, commonly called a contested environment. The defense community must deliver and manage production-grade machines that operate in austere, disconnected, and high-stakes environments. Some in the academic community would like to put a stop to AI progress. The idea is to produce ethical and moral guidelines before proceeding. That certainly sounds nice when debating on a campus. Rebesco points out that we do not have the luxury of this approach. In today's geopolitical environment, we have adversaries who are very smart, capable, and well-resourced. History has shown us the results of appeasement and delay. He emphasizes the importance of embedding AI in real-world scenarios and ensuring models can adapt and learn. Robesco also discusses the concept of "situational awareness" in AI and the need for continuous testing and evaluation. During the interview, he mentions StriveWorks' platform, Chariots, which aims to provide dependable, mission-critical AI solutions.  

This sermon explores the concept of trustworthy love by examining King David's covenant loyalty to Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9. The preacher contrasts modern transactional relationships with biblical covenants, highlighting how David showed radical mercy to a vulnerable enemy descendant despite personal risk. This act serves as an illustration for believers to extend similar hospitality and care to those who cannot repay them. The message connects David's actions to Jesus Christ, who demonstrated God's love by dying for humanity while still weak and sinful. Ultimately, the sermon encourages listeners to find security in God's unconditional love for their own weaknesses, which empowers them to love others with genuine grace.

Comfort in the Kingdom Let's Summarize The Message "Comfort in the Kingdom" teaches that biblical comfort is much deeper than simply feeling comfortable or having our circumstances improved. Earthly comforts—food, warmth, home, rest, familiar surroundings—may soothe us temporarily, but kingdom comfort strengthens us to remain faithful to Jesus in the middle of hardship. God does not always remove the trouble; often He comforts us by giving us truth, people, perspective, courage, and hope so we can stand in it. Using 1 Thessalonians, the message shows how remarkable the work of grace is experienced and expressed among the church at Thessalonica. Paul had only a short time with them before persecution forced him away, yet they flourished because the gospel had genuinely transformed them. They learned quickly that following Christ would include affliction, but they also possessed the great hope woven through the entire letter: Jesus came, Jesus saved them, and Jesus is coming again. The message highlights seven expressions of kingdom comfort: 1. Tender and tough instruction — 1 Thessalonians 2:7–12. Paul ministered like both a nursing mother and a faithful father. He invited people close, instructed them in truth, and showed them by his own life how to walk with God. True discipleship is not merely giving information; it is saying, "Come walk with me. Let me show you how this truth works in life." The hunting experiences with Nate illustrate this: some things cannot merely be explained—they have to be learned by walking beside someone and putting truth into practice. 2. Trustworthy fellowship in the gospel — 1 Thessalonians 3:1–5. Because Paul was concerned about the

If the head of an offering is buried in hot ash to singe off the hair, and if that was in the place of the slaughtering in an upright position, the blood flows out (yes, very gory) and after it is removed, the meat can be eaten. Plus, attention to the inner and outer sinews of the animal's thigh, and the difference between a rabbinic vs. a Torah-level prohibition (the inner one being the gid ha-nasheh). But can the butchers be trusted in what they have to say about the kashrut of the meat, about the removal of the sciatic nerve? In the end, the conclusion is that they are trustworthy. But it's a complicated process and with more and less taxing elements, which might influence their credibility.

How do you build trustworthy people if you never trust them with anything that matters?That's the tension we're tackling today. Too many leaders confuse control with excellence and end up carrying everything themselves while wondering why no one else grows. Trust isn't something you wait to give after people become perfect. It's part of how responsible leaders are developed.Here's the Caveat... measured trust, clear accountability, and high standards don't weaken leadership. They build it.

Send us Fan MailDermatologist Dr. Muneeb Shah returns to Skin Anarchy to break down what actually works in skincare, how GLP-1 medications affect the skin, the truth about trending ingredients, and how to spot credible science communication online. Below are the biggest questions answered in this episode.Why did Dr. Muneeb Shah start his own skincare brand, Remedy?After years of educating patients one at a time in clinic and then millions online, Dr. Shah saw a gap between how dermatologists actually treat skin and how most products are formulated. Remedy was built to combine multiple ingredients backed by evidence into single formulas, control ingredient sourcing, and remove emerging allergens as the science evolves. He frames it as the natural next chapter of his work: "Content was a hill at one point, and this is my new hill... building a brand that really becomes a legacy brand."Why do so many skincare products feel identical?Because many of them are. Dr. Shah explains that contract manufacturers offer white label stock formulas, so any brand with capital and distribution can put its label on an existing product and launch it. "It's not hard to launch products if you have the capital and the distribution network to support it," he says. "It's hard to launch good products." When an ingredient trends, brands rush to license the same stock formula, which is why the market floods with nearly identical products around every viral ingredient. Remedy's policy is to never use white label formulas and to start from a patient need rather than a trend.Which skincare ingredients are actually backed by science?According to Dr. Shah, the strongest evidence still sits with the tried and true ingredients: retinoids like retinol and tretinoin, alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic acid, select peptides but not all of them, ceramides for the skin barrier, niacinamide, and azelaic acid. His formulation philosophy anchors everything around these proven actives first, with marketing layered on only afterward, never the reverse. "The products have to be really great products that people will use forever, and they have to use ingredients that truly have the efficacy studies on them."Is PDRN worth the hype?Dr. Shah does not dismiss PDRN, noting it has real traction in East Asia, where dermatologists champion it, particularly in injectable form. "I'm not saying that doesn't have validity or evidence. Time will tell if this is something that stands the test of time." His caution is about how trends work: brands slap labels on stock PDRN formulas to ride the moment, and an ingredient trending is not the same as an ingredient being proven.What does "next generation biomimetic surfactant technology" actually mean?Usually nothing. Dr. Shah points out that "they're using the same surfactants everybody's got in their formulas... no one's inventing new surfactant technologies." Terms like this are marketing language designed to make a formula seem more advanced or worth a higher price, and even sophisticated consumers fall for it because there is not enough public knowledge about what these formula components actually do.What do GLP-1 medications like Ozempic do to your skin?Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications can outpace the skin's ability to retract, leading to crepiness, laxity, and undulations where fat volume was lost beneath otherwise healthy skin. Dr. Shah notes dermatologists saw similar effects with gastric bypass, but it was rare enough that it never needed a name. That is no longer the case: "Now that it's 12 percent of the population, we have to really contend with this."What skincare should you use while on a GLP-1?Dr. Shah recommends topicals that support collagen throughout the weight loss period: a retinoid such as retinol or tretinoin, an alpha hydroxy acid like glycolic acid to stimulate collagen production, and peptides with collagen evidence such as Matrixyl. "Anything that's gonna support your collagen and elasticity, maybe even like a copper peptide due to the elasticity element of the skin." These support the epidermis and dermis, but he is clear that topicals alone cannot compensate for significant fat and muscle volume loss underneath.Can loose skin from GLP-1 weight loss be fixed?Sometimes it resolves on its own if weight loss is gradual, but Dr. Shah notes many patients are started on doses that are too high. "When you lose 30 pounds in a month, there's really no skin treatment that can account for that loss of weight to make your skin snap back." For skin that does not recover, professional options include lasers, deeper chemical peels, and in some cases filler around bony structures to restore support. Slower weight loss gives the skin the best chance to keep up.Why does nutrition matter so much on a GLP-1?Because appetite drops sharply, patients risk falling short on protein and essential nutrients during a period of significant muscle and fat loss. "Anyone that's on a GLP really needs to optimize their nutrition while they're on it," Dr. Shah says, "because you're eating less, but what you're eating really then matters." He argues nutrition is a layer dermatologists need to be discussing with every GLP-1 patient, ideally in collaboration with nutritionists, gastroenterologists, and weight loss specialists rather than working in silos.Do GLP-1s cause immune reactions?"A lot of people actually develop antibodies to GLPs... your body recognizes it's a foreign invader and tries to neutralize it," Dr. Shah explains, which can produce injection site reactions, fevers, muscle aches, or symptoms that feel like the flu after injecting. This immunologic layer is rarely discussed, and he draws a parallel to PD-1 inhibitors in oncology, where he and Dr. Maxfield published an early case report of a patient developing type 1 diabetes from the immune system attacking the pancreas, a side effect now well documented in the literature.Are chemical sunscreens safe?Dr. Shah personally wears chemical sunscreens and prefers how they look on his skin, but he refuses to speak in absolutes in either direction. The data shows chemical filters absorb into the body more than previously thought, and no one yet knows whether that matters. At the same time, no study has shown actual harm in people, which is why they remain on the market. "To absolutely say these are completely safe and nothing bad will ever happen to you, that's a dangerous absolute to live in, in my mind."Is longevity just antiaging rebranded?Largely, yes, in Dr. Shah's view: "Longevity is really just similar to antiaging and to bodybuilding in the sense that it's a more extreme form of maximizing your health." He compares it to how looksmaxxing extended bodybuilding culture to the face, the same pursuit taken further. What has changed is access. Anyone can now watch a billionaire biohacker's routine on YouTube and order peptides from a telehealth site, which is exactly what makes this moment both exciting and precarious.Are injectable peptides from telehealth sites regulated?Not in the way most consumers assume. "I'm excited about the technology that's coming out as a scientist," Dr. Shah says. "As a doctor, I'm nervous about the access and lack of regulation." He predicts a regulatory correction, whether imposed by government or by the industry itself, after enough people experience negative consequences from unvetted peptides and unregulated med spas. He expects consumers will eventually start asking where products come from, seeking FDA approved options, and vetting the credentials of anyone treating them.What is the danger of telehealth prescribing without integrated care?Dr. Shah gives the example of someone with hair loss who researches online, requests minoxidil, finasteride, or spironolactone through a telehealth platform, and receives it at their door. "Turns out they have thyroid disease. No one asked the question... this element of integrated medicine is being completely removed." As telemedicine grows, conditions get treated at the surface while underlying diagnoses are missed entirely.How do you know which skincare experts to trust online?Dr. Shah's rule: be wary of anyone who speaks in absolutes. "When you speak in absolutes, most of the time you're gonna be wrong because there's not enough information out there." On polarizing topics like parabens, fragrance, or chemical sunscreens, both the "completely safe" and "completely toxic" camps overstate what the evidence supports. Trustworthy communicators caveat their claims, resist being first to react before information is complete, and publicly correct themselves when new data proves them wrong. He cites the erosion of trust in medicine during COVID as the cost of premature certainty.Listen to the full episode with Dr. Muneeb Shah on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop Remedy SkinDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Internet connectivity became a necessity for the average person instead of just a hobbyist pursuit, and powerful consumer softwares offered new ways of making stories come to life and be distributed directly to a global audience. Case in point: CHRISTIAN PRINCESS AND THE MUSLIM PAUPER, a religious-themed webseries by animator AZAD669, created using mods of The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 allowing for custom animations, and edited using Sony Vegas software. Episode 2 of this webseries has accrued over 600,000 views since it was first uploaded, a testament to the democratization of film distribution typical to the era. Not much is known about AZAD669 -- their website no longer exists online -- but we speculate they are ethnically Pakistani, in part because the series contains Urdu subtitles, which is the national language of Pakistan. Also, the series uses some Pakistani music. Indeed, CHRISTIAN PRINCESS AND THE MUSLIM PAUPER is a musical -- each episode contains an extended animation sequence where characters sing and dance to pop songs, including Disney and Barbie ballads. There is one original song, "Inshallah," the main title of the webseries, which is actually just a singer repeating the word "Inshallah" (Arabic for "If God Wills") over Aerith's Theme from FINAL FANTASY VII. This blending of IP from popular works is typical of 2000s fan animations, showing DIY filmmakers using artistic ingredients from their favorite franchises to add to the atmosphere of their own story. In this case, that story is of rival fictitious Christian and Muslim nations of Jameland and Abustan. Princess Rosa of Jameland yearns for freedom from her royal duties, the answer to which could be switching places with Mariah, a humble Muslim girl who looks so similar to Rosa she could be her identical twin. Can a mischievous swap between the two young ladies prevent a Holy War brewing between the two lands, instigated by an evil atheist ironically named Stephen the Trustworthy? CHRISTIAN PRINCESS AND THE MUSLIM PAUPER is as weird and stilted as you would expect of an enthusiastic amateur animation made on The Sims 2, but its wholesome message of unity between Christians and Muslims against the scheming atheists is one we can all agree on.
