Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Are you aware that the legal protections for surrogate pregnancy mothers in the workplace remain shrouded in ambiguity? Join Mark Carey in this enlightening episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, where he navigates the intricate landscape of surrogacy pregnancy protections and pregnancy discrimination laws. As an employee, understanding your rights is crucial, especially in a world where discrimination can manifest in various forms—be it pregnancy discrimination, gender discrimination, or even retaliation. Mark dives deep into foundational laws like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), revealing how they intertwine to protect working women. However, the conversation doesn't stop there; he sheds light on the less-defined legal realm surrounding surrogacy pregnancy, a topic that often gets overshadowed in discussions about employee rights. Mark discusses landmark court cases such as Young v. United Parcel Service, which clarified protections for pregnant employees, and Gonzalez v. Maria International, which recognized the rights of surrogate mothers to request reasonable accommodations in the workplace. These cases highlight the ongoing legal challenges and ambiguities that surrogate mothers face, especially when it comes to workplace accommodations and potential discrimination. As the landscape of employment law evolves, it's vital for employees to stay informed about their rights, particularly in the context of surrogacy pregnancy and caregiving. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex world of employment law issues. Whether you're dealing with workplace discrimination, negotiating severance packages, or simply trying to understand your rights as an employee, Mark's insights will empower you to advocate for yourself in the workplace. Tune in to discover how you can better equip yourself with the knowledge necessary to survive and thrive in your career.

Here's a Schmidlin-style episode description for 2 Corinthians 2:12–3:18, followed by concise title options. Episode Description In this episode of Understanding 2 Corinthians, Paul pulls back the curtain on the nature of true Christian ministry. From restless anxiety in Troas to the triumphal procession of Christ, he reframes weakness as victory and suffering as participation in God's saving work. Ministry is not self-commendation but divine commissioning—not letters of recommendation, but lives transformed by the Spirit. As Paul contrasts the fading glory of the old covenant with the surpassing glory of the new, we see that the heart of ministry is not external performance but unveiled beholding. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom—and where Christ is seen, His people are transformed.

Have you ever felt locked out — like life is happening and you're standing on the outside looking in? In Revelation 3, Jesus stands at a door and knocks. In Revelation 4, John sees a door standing open in heaven. What he sees next reframes everything. Before seals are opened. Before judgment unfolds. Before chaos erupts. There is a throne. And it is not empty. This week, we explore Revelation 4–5 — the heavenly worship scene that recenters the church around the reality that God reigns. We look at the Lion who appears as a slain Lamb, and why sacrificial love is not a detour in God's plan — it is the plan. This is not a message about decoding end-times charts. It's about aligning our lives with heaven's song. Because if heaven is giving everything to the Lamb… why are we still giving our best to lesser things? The Lamb is worthy. The throne is occupied. And worship is the evidence that heaven is breaking into earth.

Host Jeff welcomes author Tim Cohen for the fourth installment of his Tribulation series. This episode examines Revelation 6 and the fourth seal, placing the events of the Tribulation into a larger sacramental and typological framework patterned on the Crucifixion Week. Jeff and Tim discuss how the four horsemen cohere, why the fourth rider is named "Death," and how that imagery ties to Psalm 22 and New Testament typology. Tim Cohen presents his view that the Tribulation Week mirrors the Crucifixion Week, and he walks through the sequence and timing he reads in Scripture: conquest, war, famine, then death. They discuss the identity and symbolism of the beasts and horsemen (including the pale/ashen horse), the heraldic and historical imagery Tim associates with King Charles III as the prophesied top-dog Antichrist figure, and the role of Satanic possession in that portrait. The conversation covers geopolitical implications and possible near-term signs, including Iran/Persia, North Korea, Russia and the shifting alliances Tim connects to prophetic patterns. Jeff and Tim debate the timing and nature of a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, the “abomination of desolation,” and whether a functioning inner and outer court or full temple is likely—Tim places construction in the early part of the fourth year of the Tribulation with key sacrificial activity stopping at the midpoint. Wider theological and eschatological themes are explored: the meaning of "firstfruits" and the 144,000, the relationship of Christ's death–burial–resurrection to the seven seals, what Revelation 11 and Daniel 9:27 suggest about sacrificial practice during the Tribulation, and the timing of the first resurrection. Tim also addresses common misunderstandings about Mystery Babylon versus Jerusalem, Mount Zion's future elevation, and the end-of-age topography and events leading into Armageddon. Throughout the episode Tim cites biblical language, Hebrew textual details, and historical typology (including references from his Messiah History and Tribulation Period series and The Antichrist and Capitoli). Listeners are directed to prophecyhouse.com for Tim's books and resources. Jeff and Tim close by previewing the next show (the fifth seal) and encourage listeners to keep studying and preparing spiritually while serving their communities.

Four Churches. Four Responses. One Jesus. This week in our Revelation series, we continue through the seven letters in Revelation 2–3 by looking at Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Each church represents a different spiritual condition: Compromise under pressure A reputation that hides spiritual deadness Quiet faithfulness with little strength Comfortable self-sufficiency that pushes Jesus outside Though the struggles are different, Jesus' call is the same: Return. Wake up. Hold fast. Open the door. These letters remind us that Jesus is not distant from His church. He sees, corrects, calls, and invites — not to condemn, but to restore. This sermon ends at the communion table, where the invitation of Jesus becomes personal: not based on how strong our faith has been, but on how great His love has always been.

Many have tried, but no one has quite perfected the solar car.The average vehicle spends most – or all – of its time outside, either in use or parked, and with more than 6 million electric vehicles now present on American roads, many auto companies have been captivated by the prospect of capturing the energy of the sun to provide a boost in range.One of those is Nissan, which recently unveiled a concept that pairs its all-electric Ariya model with solar panels. Nissan says the project hopes to target the ambitious question that many have posed over the years: what if electric vehicles could charge themselves?Unveiled in time for Clean Energy Day in January, the concept features an array of flat photovoltaic panels on the Ariya's hood, liftgate and roof – visible to the eye, but not adding bulk. #Nissan, #ElectricVehicles, #SolarCar, #EVTechnology, #CleanEnergy, #RenewableEnergy, #AutomotiveInnovation, #FutureOfMobility, #SustainableTransportation, #EVCharging, #SolarPanels, #GreenTechnology, #AutoIndustry, #ConceptCars, #EVAdoption, #EnergyEfficiency, #ClimateTech, #IndustryTrends

The book of Revelation begins, centers, and ends with Jesus. In this message from our Unveiled series, we look at three churches in Revelation 2 — Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum — and discover how Jesus speaks to hearts that are drifting, suffering, or tempted to compromise. Ephesus had truth but lost love. Smyrna had suffering but remained rich in faith. Pergamum stayed loyal outwardly while compromise slowly crept in. Through it all, Jesus offers not fear, but invitation — to return, remain faithful, and receive the identity only He can give. The promise of the white stone reminds us we are forgiven, known, accepted, and given a new name in Him. This is not a message about the end times. It's a message about allegiance, faithfulness, and returning to Jesus.

Lad os finde noget mere spændende!" svarede hun muntert.En: "I'll stand guard. Let's find something more exciting!" she answered cheerfully.Da: De to bar langsiden af gruppen, mens læreren var optaget af at forklare nærmere detaljer om Christian IV.En: The two lingered at the side of the group, while the teacher was busy expounding more details about Christian IV.Da: I en af de langstrakte korridorer pegede Freja afstresset mod en smal dør gemt bag en stor, tung gobelin.En: In one of the elongated corridors, Freja pointed excitedly at a narrow door hidden behind a large, heavy tapestry.Da: "Dér! Lad os se, hvor den fører hen," sagde hun.En: "There! Let's see where that leads," she said.Da: Soren tøvede kort, men nysgerrigheden overmandede ham.En: Soren hesitated briefly, but curiosity got the better of him.Da: Døren knirkede lidt, da de skubbede den op og gik igennem.En: The door creaked a bit as they pushed it open and went through.Da: Pasagen bag døren var mørk og trang, men åbnede sig snart op til et rum, der ikke var en del af turen.En: The passage behind the door was dark and cramped, but soon opened up into a room that wasn't part of the tour.Da: Rummet var fyldt med gamle genstande - rustninger, gamle kort og fine porcelænsvaser.En: The room was filled with old artifacts – armor, ancient maps, and fine porcelain vases.Da: Alt var dækket af et tyndt lag støv.En: Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust.Da: Soren tog straks sin skitseblok frem og følte en bølge af inspiration.En: Soren immediately took out his sketchpad and felt a wave of inspiration.Da: Freja gik rundt, betaget af rummets mystik.En: Freja wandered around, entranced by the room's mystique.Da: "Det her er fantastisk, Soren, se alle disse historier gemt væk," sagde hun blidt.En: "This is amazing, Soren, look at all these stories hidden away," she said softly.Da: Soren nikkede og begyndte at tegne.En: Soren nodded and began to draw.Da: Hans blyant gled over papiret i hurtige, sikre strøg.En: His pencil moved across the paper in quick, assured strokes.Da: Deres tid var begrænset, men det, de fandt, var uvurderligt.En: Their time was limited, but what they found was invaluable.Da: Da de sluttede sig til gruppen igen, var ingen klar over deres lille eventyr.En: When they rejoined the group, no one was aware of their little adventure.Da: Soren gemte sin skitse i sin taske, men et nyt lys glimtede i hans øjne.En: Soren tucked his sketch away in his bag, but a new light sparkled in his eyes.Da: Han havde fundet mere end bare en skitse - han havde fundet modet til at udforske.En: He had found more than just a sketch – he had found the courage to explore.Da: Freja, der nu satte pris på både eventyr og stilhed, smilede til ham.En: Freja, now appreciating both adventure and silence, smiled at him.Da: "Vi klarede det," hviskede hun og gav ham et skulderklap.En: "We did it," she whispered, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Da: Soren lo for første gang med lyd.En: Soren laughed for the first time out loud.Da: Den slags latter der var fyldt med nye muligheder.En: The kind of laughter filled with new possibilities.Da: Slottets store, dekorerede haller stod som tavse vidner til dagens oplevelser, og sneen udenfor dækkede stille deres spor.En: The castle's great, decorated halls stood as silent witnesses to the day's experiences, and the snow outside quietly covered their tracks.Da: Men minderne? De var uudslettelige.En: But the memories? They were indelible.

Religion tries to change us from the outside in, but the Gospel transforms us from the inside out. Paul shows that the law could expose sin but never fix it—only the Holy Spirit can bring real righteousness, freedom, and lasting change. In Christ, the veil is lifted so we can see God clearly.True transformation doesn't come from striving; it happens as we draw near to Jesus and behold Him, being changed “from one degree of glory to another.” The closer we stay to Him, the more we begin to look like Him.Watch more sermons from the Inside Out: The Gospel That Transforms series at https://crosstownalliance.com/insideout/ABOUT THIS SERIESA new year often brings new goals and fresh starts—but lasting change takes more than willpower, resolutions, or a self-improvement plan. Real transformation starts with a changed heart. In 2 Corinthians, we see how the gospel works from the inside out, reshaping us with new life, new purpose, and new hope in Christ.Find locations, videos, and more info about us at https://www.crosstownalliance.com or download the Church Center app at https://crosstownalliance.churchcenter.com/setupFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: @crosstownallianceInstagram: @crosstownallianceTikTok: @crosstownalliancechurchYouTube: @crosstownalliance#crosstown #sermon #christian #christianity #church #crosstownalliance #onlinechurch #god #jesuschrist #crosstownalliancechurch

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom dives deep into the unprecedented era of global disruption we're all witnessing. With Trump's dramatic pivot from peacemaker to power broker, the rules of world order are being rewritten right before our eyes. Tom breaks down how America's shifting strategies—from military posturing over Greenland to aggressive moves in Venezuela and Iran—reflect a high-stakes "dominance or bust" approach that could either solidify American prosperity or push us closer to economic instability and global conflict. You'll hear how the breakdown of the liberal world order, runaway inflation, and growing inequality have set the stage for a populist surge, with Trump acting as both a product and agent of this chaos. Tom explores the historical patterns behind today's dangers, like Thucydides Trap, and what it means for the rivalry between the U.S. and China. Most importantly, he'll guide you through what all these seismic changes could mean for your finances and future—and why, even when times seem rigged and uncertain, you can still win if you know how to play the game. Get ready for a no-nonsense, eye-opening look at power, politics, and how to navigate a world where only the paranoid survive. Let's get into it.

In this deeply personal milestone episode, Amy Sylvis celebrates the 100th episode of Secrets to Abundant Living by welcoming her most influential role model - her mother, Susan Sylvis. Together, they reflect on motherhood, faith, resilience, marriage, and what it truly means to live an abundant life, even in the face of uncertainty. Susan shares the quiet wisdom behind raising a child with cystic fibrosis without fear, scarcity, or limitation, choosing quality of life over control and integrity over ease. This conversation is a powerful reminder that abundance is not about avoiding hardship, but about how we show up when life is hard - and who we become along the way.Join the Get Out of California Summit and explore smarter ways to invest outside California.
Welcome to UNVEILED, our series through the Book of Revelation. In this episode from Revelation 1–2, we discover Revelation is not about decoding timelines—it's about revealing Jesus and calling the church back to its first love. Jesus wins—and that changes everything.
In this episode we tell the story of leadership through vivid Biblical portraits: Moses - the reluctant shepherd shaped by God's presence. Paul - the driven scholar-turned-missionary forged by training and trial. Timothy - the young disciple molded by mentorship. Every narrative peels back each account of inspiring greatness and reveals how influence, humility, and a teachable spirit transform ordinary people into leaders. Listen in as we blend scripture, real-life application, and encouragement to show that leadership is both a calling you're born to and a journey you're made through — and how God can shape you far beyond your own abilities.

Oslo, a thousand years ago, it was winter.No: Snøen dalte mykt ned og la et hvitt teppe over de brosteinsbelagte gatene.En: Snow softly drifted down, laying a white blanket over the cobblestone streets.No: Sigrid, en dyktig urtekyndig kvinne, bøyde seg over Einar, en ung smed som lå utstrakt på en benk.En: Sigrid, a skilled herbal woman, leaned over Einar, a young blacksmith lying stretched out on a bench.No: Han hadde en mystisk sykdom, og ingen av de lokale healerne visste hvordan de skulle hjelpe ham.En: He had a mysterious illness, and none of the local healers knew how to help him.No: "Du trenger varme," sa Sigrid forsiktig.En: "You need warmth," Sigrid said gently.No: "Men det er noe mer.En: "But there is something more.No: Noe jeg ikke helt forstår.En: Something I don't quite understand."No: "Rundt dem var markedsplassen full av liv.En: Around them, the marketplace was full of life.No: Herrer og fruer snakket lavt mens de kjøpte varer fra de mange bodene.En: Lords and ladies spoke quietly as they bought goods from the many stalls.No: Lukten av stekt kjøtt fylte luften.En: The smell of roasted meat filled the air.No: Kjell, en eldre historieforteller, sto ved siden av og fulgte med.En: Kjell, an older storyteller, stood nearby watching.No: Han var kjent for å vite mye om gamle remedier og legender.En: He was known for his knowledge of old remedies and

Einar tried to rise.No: "Jeg blir med deg," sa han svak i stemmen, men med en glød av eventyrlyst i blikket.En: "I'll go with you," he said weakly, but with a spark of adventure in his eyes.No: Sigrid nølte et øyeblikk, men så lot hun ham støtte seg til armen hennes.En: Sigrid hesitated for a moment, but then she let him support himself on her arm.No: De ventet ikke lenge før de satte kursen mot den snødekte skogen.En: They didn't wait long before heading toward the snow-covered forest.No: Deres vei gjennom skogen var langsom.En: Their journey through the forest was slow.No: Trærne var tunge av snø, og den kalde luften fikk dem til å skjelve.En: The trees were heavy with snow, and the cold air made them shiver.No: Men Sigrid var fast bestemt på å finne det de trengte.En: But Sigrid was determined to find what they needed.No: Hun visste om en hemmelighet fra vikingtiden, noe hun hadde skjult lenge.En: She knew of a secret from Viking times, something she had kept hidden for a long time.No: Etter flere timers leting fant de endelig planten de trengte.En: After several hours of searching, they finally found the plant they needed.No: Sigrid nølte.En: Sigrid hesitated.No: Hvis hun brukte denne kunnskapen, ville hennes skjulte fortid bli avslørt.En: If she used this knowledge, her hidden past would be revealed.No: "Du må stole på deg selv, Sigrid," sa Kjell som hadde fulgt etter dem i stillhet.En: "You must trust yourself, Sigrid," said Kjell, who had followed them silently.No: "Din fortid er en del av deg.En: "Your past is a part of you."No: "Med et dypt pust samlet Sigrid ingrediensene.En: With a deep breath, Sigrid gathered the ingredients.No: Da de kom tilbake til landsbyen, brukte hun sin urgamle kunnskap for å lage en helbredende drikk.En: When they returned to the village, she used her ancient knowledge to make a healing potion.No: Einar drakk drikken, og snart kom fargen tilbake i kinnene hans.En: Einar drank the potion, and soon the color returned to his cheeks.No: "Er det over?En: "Is it over?"No: " spurte han, overrasket over sin egen styrke.En: he asked, surprised by his own strength.No: "Ja," sa Sigrid, og visste at hun nå måtte være åpen om hvem hun var.En: "Yes," said Sigrid, knowing she now had to be open about who she was.No: Både Einar og Kjell hadde skjønt at hun bar på gammel visdom.En: Both Einar and Kjell had realized she carried ancient wisdom.No: Fra den dagen aksepterte Sigrid sitt vikingarv.En: From that day, Sigrid accepted her Viking heritage.No: Hun begynte å dele sin kunnskap med andre.En: She began to share her knowledge with others.No: Hennes hemmelighet var ikke lenger noe å frykte, men noe å være stolt av.En: Her secret was no longer something to fear, but something to be proud of.No: I markedsplassen

Objective of the Plan Lower healthcare costs for Americans. Extend expiring ACA subsidies temporarily while transitioning to a new system. Shift financial benefits from insurance companies to individuals. Proposed Measures Two-year extension of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (originally expanded during COVID-19). Income eligibility cap for subsidies at 700% of the federal poverty line to prevent wealthy Americans from benefiting. Minimum premium payments to ensure cost-sharing. Encourage Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and direct tax credits to individuals rather than insurers. Push for cost-sharing reductions that were previously blocked in Congress. Financial Impact Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates reforms could: Lower premiums by 12.7%. Save taxpayers $30.8 billion. Criticism of ACA for being “unsustainable” and increasing premiums by 80% since passage. Political Context Democrats opposed previous Republican attempts to include cost-sharing reductions in legislation. Debate over whether reforms should be bipartisan or passed via budget reconciliation. Trump emphasizes “power to the people” by allowing individuals to control healthcare spending. Underlying Philosophy There is a strong focus on consumer choice and freedom. Opposition to government-managed healthcare and subsidies flowing to insurance companies. A belief that direct-to-consumer funding will reduce corruption and lower costs. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
