In part two of the "Come Back to God" podcast mini-series, Lisa Whittle challenges the culture of "revival hype" and invites listeners to consider revival's deep, holy roots. While stadiums and tents may symbolize revival, Lisa emphasizes that true revival is about heart transformation—marked by conviction, discomfort, and unity. She reflects on biblical examples like Pentecost and the Moravian Revival to highlight the importance of unified prayer, confession, and God's presence. Lisa encourages us to seek authentic revival—not for show, but for lasting change—and invites listeners to reflect on how they can foster revival within their own hearts and communities. The episode concludes with practical steps to pursue revival, including prayer, reconciliation, and justice.Listen in to learn more:(1:10) Revival hype vs. true revival(1:45) The sacredness of personal revival and its unseen work(3:47) Rocky analogy: Revival isn't for public show, it's deep and gritty(7:42) How Global Christian Relief is sparking revival(8:32) Biblical foundation: Acts 1 & 2, unity in prayer, and the early church(10:00) The Moravian Revival of 1727: A 100-year prayer movement that sparked global missions(11:33) Elements of authentic revival: Unified hunger, extraordinary prayer, confession and reconciliation, sincere worship, centered on God's presence(16:15) The role of justice and righteous living in revival (Amos 5:24)(16:50) Practical steps for fostering revival in your life and community(17:44) Closing encouragement: Pray, unite, invite others, and seek revival nowMentioned in the episode:Come Back to God Bible Study: https://www.lisawhittle.com/comebackGlobal Christian Relief: http://link.globalchristianrelief.org/lisaCoaching with Lisa: https://www.lisawhittle.com/coaching-with-lisa Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial

Read the blog postOperational Excellence rarely fails because of a lack of ideas. More often, it breaks down when strategy, daily work, and improvement efforts operate in silos.In this episode, Mark Graban explores what it really means to take a unified approach to OpEx—one that connects strategy deployment, process discipline, employee-driven improvement, and leader-led initiatives into a single, coherent system.You'll hear how organizations move beyond disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and project tools to create visibility, alignment, and learning across all levels of the organization. Mark also discusses how platforms like KaiNexus support this work—not by replacing leadership or Lean thinking, but by strengthening the management system that makes continuous improvement sustainable.This conversation is especially relevant for leaders trying to:Bring strategy to life at the frontlineBalance top-down direction with bottom-up improvementCreate visibility without micromanagementTurn Operational Excellence into how the business actually runs

My guest on today's episode, James Copple, the President of Servant Forge and founder of The Freedom Fast, is a leader committed to fostering unity through actionable change. James's work in police reform and civic engagement offers a blueprint for addressing systemic issues and healing divides within our communities.James shared a compelling example of how his work has impacted the nation. Six months before the murder of George Floyd, James and his team produced a report in Minnesota on police use of deadly force. “It was about policing procedure and protocol,” James explained, sharing how their research highlighted the urgent need for de-escalation training. Following Floyd's death, James and his team were invited back to help implement their recommendations, working with policymakers to improve training and minimize future tragedies.One of James's newest initiatives, The Freedom Fast, aims to address the country's growing polarization. Inspired by historical calls for national fasting during the Continental Congress, the Freedom Fast encourages Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of service. “We're calling for a sacred pause for civic renewal,” James said. “It's about recapturing the values that brought us together as a country and influenced our civic discourse.”James's vision is rooted in the belief that dialogue is key to progress. “Getting people in the same room, even when they don't agree, is essential,” he shared. This approach—proximity and listening—has been central to his work, from police reform projects in Minneapolis and Kenya to initiatives aimed at reducing gender-based violence in East Africa.If you're inspired by James's vision and want to be part of the solution, visit TheFreedomFast.us to learn more. By taking part in this initiative, we can collectively work toward a more unified, compassionate, and equitable future.tl;dr:James Copple reveals key insights from his work on police reform and de-escalation training.The Freedom Fast calls for Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of civic renewal.James emphasizes the importance of bringing people together to solve problems through dialogue.Stories from Kenya and Minneapolis illustrate how dialogue can drive meaningful change.James shares tips for fostering civility and connection, including listening and creating proximity.How to Develop Facilitating Dialogue As a SuperpowerJames's superpower lies in bringing people together to solve difficult problems through dialogue and understanding. As he explained, “Getting people in the same room and getting them to agree to have the conversation” is vital. He emphasized the importance of listening, saying, “Listening is a form of fasting… to surrender my own principles and values for a few moments to listen to another person's perspective.” This ability to foster connection and encourage open discussions has been central to James's work in both the U.S. and globally.James shared a powerful example from his work in Kenya, where 70% of women believed men had a right to hit them. He brought together male leaders from universities and businesses with women's advocacy groups to discuss gender-based violence. This dialogue led to concrete solutions like including women in decision-making processes and leadership roles. James's ability to create proximity and facilitate understanding directly contributed to meaningful change in a community struggling with entrenched cultural norms.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Engage and Be Present: Show up for conversations, even when topics are difficult or divisive.Listen Actively: Dedicate time to truly hear others' perspectives without judgment or interruption.Foster Proximity: Create opportunities for people with differing views to engage in the same room.Sacrifice for the Greater Good: Be willing to let go of time, comfort, or preconceived notions to achieve progress.By following James's example and advice, you can make facilitating dialogue a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJames E Copple (he/him):President, Servant Forge/The Freedom FastAbout Servant Forge/The Freedom Fast: Servant Forge works with organizations to build their capacity to secure funding to help fulfill their mission.

Of course, he's written up several articles on the topic for your later reference: Hidden Setting Controls What Happens When You Tap a Call in the Phone App Comparing the Classic and Unified Views in iOS 26's Phone App How to Set Contact Avatars and Posters on the iPhone I want to make sure that you realize TidBITS is predominantly reader-supported (93%). The fine folks (and especially Adam) have been writing long-form, thoughtful content about the Apple world for 35 years. If you appreciate Adam being on Chit Chat Across the Pond once a month, be like me and support the work at TidBITS by going to the Membership page to sign up for as little as $20/year.

When the work well, carbon markets worldwide decarbonise economies and direct funds to the most efficient projects. Yet for these mechanisms to be effective, credible, and equitable, should we move beyond today's fragmented initiatives and create a unified global carbon market that would integrate compliance and voluntary markets, with consistent standards and pricing? Robin Burgess of LSE and Rohini Pande of Yale are authors of a detailed proposal to design and implement this radical concept. Fresh from presenting the report's insights at COP 30, they join Tim Phillips to explain the potential and transformative impact of a unified market for carbon.

Risk is no longer confined to a single department—it's a business-wide challenge. In this episode, we explore how organizations can move from siloed approaches to a unified risk management strategy that drives resilience and competitive advantage. Host Alex Pillow is joined by Paul Nola, Partner at We Live Context, who shares insights from Moody's latest study on unified risk management. This research draws on 50 in-depth interviews with senior executives across industries and regions. Their discussion explores what unified risk management means, why it matters now, and how organizations can move from siloed compliance to integrated, strategic risk management. Key highlights include: The five factors that most influence an organization's risk approach Why continuity and resilience are top priorities today How organizations prioritize risks that are both high-impact and difficult to manage The critical role executive leadership plays in shaping risk management strategies The structural, cultural, and technological challenges that prevent companies from adopting unified risk management Visit our website to read the full report.

Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to outcomesrocket.com AI is reshaping radiology from image reading to clinical orchestration, and the human-plus-AI model will define the future of the field. In this episode, sponsored by Outcomes Rocket and Censinet, Lior Eshel Ansher, founder and CEO of TestDynamics, discusses how his father's late lung cancer diagnosis pushed him to investigate radiology errors and discover that 30% of cases are misdiagnosed. He explains how burnout, staffing shortages, and exploding image volumes strain radiologists who are measured on speed while still expected to catch every abnormality. Lior describes Satori, a platform that unifies outputs from multiple imaging AI tools into a single, actionable view, allowing clinicians to activate several AI engines without juggling fragmented interfaces. Finally, he shares his vision of radiologists evolving from readers to “orchestrators,” similar to pilots working with autopilot, and reflects on Israel's startup culture, his entrepreneurial journey, and the mission to turn AI chaos into clarity for clinicians.

Episode 94 of Astonishing Healthcare features two members of our product team, Liya Lomsadze (Sr. Director) and Jake Mulkey (Director), who explain how building a next-generation pharmacy claim adjudication system (Judi®), known for its split-second accuracy and streamlined workflows, served as the perfect foundation for building a unified platform that now includes medical claims, and will integrate vision and dental, too. Liya and Jake explain the contrast between pharmacy's real-time nature and medical's weeks-or-months-long lag, and how this gap impacts the experience for members and providers of care. The discussion covers the challenges behind supporting complex plan designs, opportunities around automating prior authorizations with real clinical data, and benefits of reducing manual interventions that slow down or interfere with care coordination. Liya and Jake also share stories about launch day, lessons learned from pharmacy claim adjudication, and their vision for a real-time future with integrated benefits. This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in how enterprise health technology can improve health benefit administration and focus resources on what's most important: plan members' experience and improving health outcomes.Related ContentReplay – The Bridge to Better Healthcare: Uniting Medical and Pharmacy Services on One Platform to Achieve Value-Based CareAH080 - Health Benefits 101: The Importance of "Smart" Care Navigation, with Andy KageleiryMedicare Transition Benefits & How Judi®'s Modern Design Enables Faster Results and Reliable ComplianceHealth Benefits 101: The Importance of Clinical ProgramsThis Startup Hit A $3.25 Billion Valuation Building Software To Fix Drug Pricing (Forbes)For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Judi Health - Insights.
You love Jesus, and you want to love the Bible, but most days, life crowds it out. And when you do open the text, it can feel confusing, disjointed, even offensive; so you reach for personalities who make it feel easier. The problem is that celebrity clarity often replaces biblical clarity. This week on Win Today, Zach Windahl—creator of The Bible Study and founder of The Brand Sunday—joins me to recover the unified story of Scripture and to challenge a popular church slogan: "belong before you believe." Belonging matters, but the New Testament's pattern is belief that forms a people, not a people that replaces belief. We'll name the most common study mistakes, walk a simple observation–interpretation–application path, and give you a way to read when you're bored, confused, or offended—so you meet the Lord in the words he actually inspired. Guest Bio Zach Windahl is the author of The Bible Study. His work has introduced hundreds of thousands to practical, repeatable study rhythms that move from information to transformation. Today isn't about his résumé; it's about putting tools in your hands so you can read what's there and be formed by it.

It's sleek, durable, and most importantly, lab-tested by third parties. The results aren't hidden—they're published right on their site.

When it comes to your digital experience, how often does a ‘great idea' from a senior leader's gut feeling get completely dismantled by actual user data?Agility requires the willingness to be wrong and the systems to prove it quickly. It's about building a culture that values learning over being right and relentlessly iterates based on real human behavior, not internal assumptions. Today, we're going to talk about moving beyond ‘best practice' and intuition to build a truly data-driven digital experience. We'll explore how to create a disciplined conversion rate optimization program where usability testing, A/B experimentation, and personalization aren't just separate tactics, but a unified system, especially within a powerful platform like SitecoreAI, to build experiences that adapt to customer needs, not just our assumptions about them.
