P&S ModCast 468 — Defensive Display Done RightWhat separates a justified defensive firearm display from brandishing, intimidation, or an unnecessary escalation? And what happens when displaying a firearm successfully stops an attack—but the defender shoots anyway?Host Matt Landfair joins firearms instructor Steve Moses, litigation consultant Shawn Vincent, and criminal defense attorney Don West for a discussion of defensive firearm displays, sound judgment, and the legal consequences that can follow a self-defense encounter.Drawing on their training and case experience, the panel examines how an armed defender's decisions look to investigators, prosecutors, witnesses, and juries. The conversation connects firearm handling and threat assessment with the broader responsibility to avoid unnecessary conflict and recognize when a threat has changed.Topics include:• Defensive display versus brandishing, and why circumstances and state law matter.• The distinction between displaying a firearm, pointing it at someone, and firing it.• Recognizing an imminent threat and reassessing when an aggressor stops or retreats.• Breaking contact, creating distance, and avoiding a return to the confrontation.• How ego, anger, and the desire to have the last word can undermine self-defense.• Safe gun handling, muzzle direction, trigger-finger discipline, and maintaining visibility of a potential attacker's hands.• Verbal boundaries, managing unknown contacts, and preparing a response before an emergency.• Training beyond shooting drills, including decisions about when to draw—and when to stop.• OC spray and other options between verbal commands and a firearm.• The tactical risks and legal consequences of warning shots.• Calling 911, video evidence, witness accounts, and the importance of context.• Jury selection, the presentation of a self-defense claim, and the financial and personal costs of prosecution.• How social-media advice, firearm slogans, and prior statements can influence decisions and complicate a defense.Real-World Cases:Michael Drejka — The panel examines the Florida parking-lot shooting and the critical distinction between drawing a firearm to stop an assault and firing after the aggressor begins backing away.Sheri McClatchy — A laundromat attendant breaks contact after an assault, calls 911, and displays a firearm when the attacker approaches again. The panel uses this encounter to discuss resolving a threat without firing.Alexander Weiss — A Minnesota traffic incident illustrates the risks of retrieving a firearm and returning to a confrontation, along with the difficulty of using a gun to control another person's behavior.Jeffrey Smith and Arthur Kohn III — A Michigan gas-station confrontation highlights how returning to an argument and introducing a firearm can compromise a subsequent self-defense claim.Dean Keller and Jeffrey Weigle — An Indiana neighbor dispute demonstrates how displaying a firearm can cause another armed person to perceive an immediate threat, with consequences for both physical safety and criminal liability.Mark and Patricia McCloskey — The panel discusses firearm handling, defensive positioning, and the consequences of pointing weapons during the confrontation outside their Missouri home.Kyle Carruth and Chad Read — The Lubbock, Texas, shooting provides another example for discussing disengagement, retrieving a firearm, and returning to a dispute.The central theme is continual judgment: circumstances change, and a defender must respond to the threat that exists at that moment. A firearm display that ends an attack does not automatically justify a shot afterward. Avoidance, restraint, competent handling, and the ability to explain reasonable decisions all matter.Recorded September 29, 2026.Host:Matt LandfairPanel:Steve MosesShawn VincentDon WestGuest Resources:CCW Safe — The Armed Defender's Dilemma, 36 Lessons for Armed Defenders, and the InSelf Defense podcast:https://ccwsafe.com/Episode Sponsors:High Desert Cartridge Companyhttps://highdesertcartridge.com/PHLster Educational Content — practical, brand-agnostic guidance on concealment and concealed carry.

We spend a whole lot of time thinking about how other people perceive us. How we communicate, present, negotiate, network, make a good impression, say the right thing at the right time. Basically, we put a lot of effort into being interesting. But what if we spent more time being interested? Because entire conversations are happening around us that have nothing to do with what anyone is actually saying. And we might be missing all of it because we're too busy planning the next brilliant thing we're going to say. In this episode, Nicole sits down with Pamela Meyer, a leading expert on deception detection who trains executives and institutional leaders on information elicitation, social observation, and insider threat mitigation. She's also the author of How to Read the Room: The Art and Science of Social Observation. They discuss: Why being confident in our ability to read a room doesn't mean we're actually good at it Why talking less can help us notice more How our own ego, biases, and needs distort what we observe Why asking “How can I make this room better?” can change an interaction Pamela's “Triple B” method: background, behavior, and beliefs What to watch immediately after conflict happens How to identify informal power and influence in a room The back-pocket questions that can reveal what people are really thinking Why crossed arms, eye contact, and other body language “rules” can mislead us Why clusters of behavior matter more than individual gestures Verbal and nonverbal signals that may warrant closer attention when deception is suspected How to avoid confusing anxiety or nervousness with dishonesty Why context, curiosity, and giving people the benefit of the doubt matter Maybe the most powerful person in the room isn't the one talking the most. Maybe it's the one paying attention. Thank you to our sponsors! Protect your loved ones without spying on them.

On this episode of Verbal Shenanigans, we sit down again with veteran actor Gregory Scott Cummins, best known as the intimidating, unblinking, and legendary Luther McDonald—Mac's ex-con dad on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Beyond Paddy's Pub, Gregory boasts a decorated 30-plus-year Hollywood career with over 100 credits, including his standout turn as Detective Robert "Crate" Moore on Bosch, iconic roles in 80s and 90s action classics, and appearances in major blockbusters like Batman Returns. We pull back the curtain on how he crafted Luther's cold-eyed glare, what it's really like working alongside Rob Mac and the Sunny crew, and the art of playing Hollywood's most unforgettable hardasses and character roles. Scott ruins a job application, Mike picks up a unique item while DoorDashing, and we wonder why people care what Ed Sheeran thinks. Another great episode!

Spoiler Warning: This episode discusses questions from the second free Official GMAT Practice Exam on mba.com. If you haven't taken that exam yet, there will be some spoilers. What should you do after taking a GMAT practice test? For the final installment of our six-week Summer GMAT prep series, GMC Zach and Menlo Coaching Director of Tutoring Hailey Cusimano go inside the results of a real student practice exam—and discover that the score itself tells only part of the story. After beginning at a 545 and seeing her score fall to 515 after weeks of self-study, this student could easily have concluded that she simply needed more Quant practice, more Verbal practice, or more questions. But a deeper review revealed something very different. Across Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights, the same patterns kept appearing: overinvesting time in difficult questions, rushing when the clock became intimidating, getting lost in unnecessary details, and sometimes solving a problem correctly only to answer the wrong question. Hailey breaks down how to spot those patterns, turn mistakes into actionable strategies, and use practice exams as learning tools—not just score predictors. And the payoff? That same student eventually scored a 715. If you're taking GMAT practice exams but aren't sure what to do with the results, this episode is your guide to finding the story behind your score. About Hailey: Hailey Cusimano is a 99th-percentile performer and a self-proclaimed standardized test nerd. Drawing from her years of experience as an instructor, she knows how to assess students' main obstacles and strategize accordingly, maximizing efficiency in short study windows. Plus, her enthusiasm is infectious, and most students find studying with Hailey actually becomes—dare we say—fun.

It can reveal patterns in your decision-making, pacing, confidence, and strategy. Don't automatically respond to a missed algebra question by doing more algebra—or a missed Reading Comprehension question by doing more Reading Comprehension. Ask why you missed it. Spending five minutes on a question you ultimately miss can create problems well beyond that one question by forcing you to rush later. "Silly mistakes" usually aren't random. Look for the repeatable process that made the mistake more likely. One problem can appear across all three GMAT sections. In this case, reading precision, task orientation, and answering the exact question being asked showed up repeatedly. More practice questions aren't automatically better. Review should produce an actionable takeaway you can apply to a different question later. Don't try to become a subject-matter expert on every Reading Comprehension or Multi-Source Reasoning passage. Understand the structure and return to details when they're actually needed. A rough practice score does not necessarily mean your preparation isn't working. Sometimes the data is exposing a fixable strategy problem. Confidence and momentum matter. A bad stretch in one section can affect how you approach the next. The goal isn't just to collect data about what you're getting wrong. It's to understand what needs to happen differently next time.

You finally push yourself to go to the conference, the networking event, or the executive dinner. Introductions go around the room, someone asks you a question, and your mind goes blank. In this episode, Sean Barnes reframes that freeze. It isn't that you think too slowly, he argues, it's that you have too many tabs open. When most of your mental bandwidth is spent worrying about how you're being judged, there's almost nothing left to actually answer the question. From there Sean walks through how to close those tabs. Arrive early and have low stakes conversations before the spotlight ever reaches you, so the room feels familiar instead of threatening. Get comfortable pausing, because a few seconds of silence signals thoughtfulness rather than weakness, and the speaker always feels that pause far longer than the room does. Deliver one thought at a time instead of chasing the perfect keynote answer. And stop treating a fumbled sentence as a disaster, because surviving it is how you learn it was never as high stakes as it felt. He closes with a mental reframe, stepping out of your comfort zone while staying in it, by practicing in rooms where you're already the expert before jumping into unfamiliar ones. There's also a leadership lesson: how to bring quieter team members into big meetings without putting them on the spot, by priming and developing them first. The throughline is that verbal reflex speed is not the same as executive presence, and repetition is how the comfort gets built. Key Moments 00:00:00 - The freeze: you get asked a question and go deer in the headlights 00:00:24 - It's not a speed problem, it's a bandwidth problem 00:01:22 - Too many tabs open: close out the noise and focus on one thing 00:02:07 - Warm up the room early so nobody feels like a stranger 00:03:19 - Learn to pause, and why silence signals thought, not weakness 00:04:16 - Deliver one thought at a time instead of spiraling 00:05:17 - The speaker feels a pause far longer than the room does 00:06:06 - Stop chasing the perfect answer, a fumble is fine 00:08:01 - Reframe: step out of your comfort zone while staying in it 00:09:23 - Leadership lesson: bring quiet team members in without putting them on the spot 00:11:00 - Verbal reflex speed is not executive presence Key Takeaways It's bandwidth, not speed. Your mind isn't slow, it's crowded with worry about being judged. Close those tabs and there's room to actually answer. Pause on purpose. A few seconds of silence reads as thoughtful, not weak, and it feels far longer to you than it does to the room. Practice where you're already the expert. Growth comes from reps in familiar rooms first, then stepping into unfamiliar ones. That's how the comfort gets built.

It's Friday, August 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian policed arrested 22-year-old for converting to Christianity Nigerian police arrested a 22-year-old woman for converting to Christianity from Islam, reports International Christian Concern. Though the Federal High Court ruled in her favor, the Christian family that helped her is facing false charges of kidnapping. In 2025, “Sarah” fled from her home in Kano State after her elder siblings tried forcing her into an arranged marriage with a Muslim. While she was on the run, a Christian family took her in and shared the Gospel with her. Through the Abaras family's witness, she gave her life to Jesus Christ. When her siblings learned of her conversion, they began working with the local Hisbah, the Islamic police force, to track her down and arrest her. Police discovered her and detained her for four days, during which they beat her and pressured her to return home and accept the Muslim-arranged marriage. When she was released, the Abaras family helped her escape to a neighboring state with less Muslim influence. Please pray for Sarah's safety and that her Christian faith would grow stronger. According to Open Doors, Nigeria, Africa is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Ex-Fauci adviser pleads guilty to concealing COVID-19 origins On August 18th, Dr. Anthony Fauci's former senior adviser pleaded guilty to plotting to conceal federal records related to research on the origins of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, reports the Associated Press. Dr. David Morens is scheduled to be sentenced on November 12 by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Greenbelt, Maryland. Morens pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government, a felony punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five years. Morens is accused of using his private email account to intentionally circumvent public records laws while employed at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Justice Department alleges that he concealed or destroyed records of discussions related to COVID-19 research grants, including an effort to revive a controversial coronavirus grant. The indictment follows a probe by House Republicans into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that scrutinized Morens' email communications and accused him of intentionally concealing records. In congressional testimony, Morens denied attempting to evade federal transparency laws by using his personal email. Proverbs 12:22 says, “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Senator Darline Graham performed poorly in Senatorial run-off debate On August 19th, NewsMaxTV hosted the South Carolina GOP Senatorial run-off debate between Senator Darline Graham, who was appointed by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster in the wake of the death of her brother Lindsey Graham, and Congressman Ralph Norman. When Greta Van Susteren asked a foreign policy question, it was clear that Senator Darline was out of her depth. Listen. VAN SUSTEREN: “Senator [Graham], are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States? If so, why?” GRAHAM: “Um. I'm sorry. Could you repeat the question?” VAN SUSTEREN: “Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States. And if so, why or how?” GRAHAM: “I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on national security. I'm not that informed on national security. (audience boos and laughs) So, but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. “I'm not a polished politician up here. I'm … National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise. But I do support the military.” By contrast, Congressman Ralph Norman, her opponent in the South Carolina GOP Senatorial run-off, said this. NORMAN: “Taiwan's a definite ally. We have a trading relationship with them that is beneficial to the United States – [computer] chips being one of them, and others. “So, what the, what the president is doing right is he's enabling Taiwan to defend themselves against China. But it's peace through strength that he's showing with Iran that China, Russia, others are looking at it. They don't want to deal with America, and that's why they haven't attacked Taiwan. “If they had some weak Democrat in office, like Biden or another Obama, yeah, they'd take it over. But we can't let that happen. Peace through strength is working.” J.D. Vance believes Christian lifestyle suffices over verbal evangelism And finally, in a July 15th appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Vice President J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism from Protestantism, explained that he does not evangelize by word. VANCE: “You know, I don't preach to people. I don't, like, walk into the White House, tell my employees, ‘You know, you need to be, you need to follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior.' I just try to live my life in a way that hopefully makes people a little curious about what, you know, what motivates me and what inspires me.” Todd Friel, a reformed pastor in Atlanta, is the host of the Wretched Network which produces radio shows, TV shows, and books. He says the notion of wretched is at the very core of the Gospel because God saves wretches like us. Friel had this response to Vice President Vance. FRIEL: “According to 1 Peter 3, that is true: We should live in such a way that it causes unbelievers, who are persecuting us, to ask about the reason for the hope that lies within us. That is most certainly true. “However, that is not the end of our responsibility. We are also called to make the most of every opportunity, to go and make disciples. It is our lifestyle that undergirds our confession, testimony, and evangelism. But a lifestyle is not evangelism itself.” Joe Rogan agreed with Vice President Vance. ROGAN: “I think living by example is probably the best promotion of any good way to live your life …” VANCE: “I agree.” ROGAN: “… whether it's Christianity or any other religion. I think that's definitely the way to do it.” Friel replied with this analysis. FRIEL: “It is a part of it. It does undergird our testimony, but how will they hear unless somebody preaches to them? In other words, evangelism requires words! Nobody can actually find a credible source of Saint Francis of Assisi, who said, ‘Share the Gospel, and if necessary, use words.' Well, it is necessary! Otherwise, you're just being a nice person.” Indeed, in Romans 10:14-15, the Apostle Paul asks, “How then will they call on Him in Whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News!'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Roberto Moro, analista de Apta Negocios, analiza la actualidad de los mercados en un contexto marcado la tormenta en el mercado de bonos, el aumento de la tensión entre Estados Unidos e Irán, que mantiene al petróleo por encima de los 93 dólares; y una Reserva Federal cada vez más divisas sobre el rumbo de los tipos de interés. A este escenario se suma la posibilidad de una política monetaria más dura, junto con las dudas que existen sobre algunas valoraciones, factores que aumentan la incertidumbre entre los inversores. En este contexto, uno de los protagonistas que marca la pauta del día, tanto para los pequeños como para los grandes inversores, vuelve a ser el IBEX 35 que hoy sube alrededor de los 19.950 puntos, es decir, un 0,6%, Moro recomienda mantener vigilados los siguientes niveles “la zona de los 19.000, porque es el origen del último impulso de mercado. Por debajo de ahí los 18.500 y por debajo seguramente es que entraríamos ya en un contexto por el cual la gran mayoría de los índices, sobre todo americanos, habrían perdido niveles ya no solamente del corto plazo sino también de medio plazo. Mientras aguantemos por encima de esos niveles, creo que no hay nada que temer”. Así mismo, Roberto Moro, durante su intervención analiza también otros índices como el Nasdaq 100 apunta ,en este caso, que “me sorprende negativamente la evolución que ha tenido este índice y el de semiconductores de Filadelfia, porque aún se encuentran bastante alejados de esa zona de máximos históricos que acaban de visitar tanto Dow Jones como el SP500 y como acaban de hacer todos los índices europeos” así pues adjudica estos movimientos al estado tranquilo del mercado, señala que “parece ser el precio a pagar del momento actual, ya que no hay grandes acontecimientos ni grandes cosas que muevan al mercado, puesto que prácticamente hemos terminado la campaña de presentación de resultados”.

Your coding agent can query it too, through their MCP server. I'll tell you more later.

Calvin #1: Python 3.12.14, 3.11.16, 3.10.21 - security releases https://blog.python.org/2026/08/python-31214-31116-31021/ Source-only security releases for the three branches now in security-fix-only mode; release team blamed the European solar eclipse for the timing. tarfile hardening. Multiple path-traversal bypasses of the data filter closed, including a symlink escape that bypassed the CVE-2025-4330 fix; extract() now applies the filter to link targets too. Four fresh CVEs: CVE-2026-2297 (SourcelessFileLoader not using io.open_code() for .pyc), CVE-2026-4224 (expat crash on deeply nested content models), CVE-2026-3644 (control chars in http.cookies.Morsel), plus the completed CVE-2021-4189 fix in ftplib.ftpcp. Quadratic-complexity DoS cleanup across the stdlib: HTMLParser, configparser regexes, unicodedata.normalize(), csv.Sniffer.sniff(), and ElementTree XPath index predicates. Header/injection fixes: CR/LF rejected in HTTPConnection.set_tunnel(), control chars blocked in wsgiref.handlers status, and webbrowser now rejects leading dashes (plus a %action prefix bypass). http.client now caps chunked trailer lines and 1xx interim responses at 100 each - a hostile server could previously hang the client forever despite a socket timeout. Memory-safety odds and ends: stale pointers in lzma/bz2/zlib decompressors after MemoryError, a bz2 stack overflow on reuse-after-error, and bundled libexpat bumped to 2.8.3. If you're still on 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 - and you extract tarballs from anywhere you don't fully control - this one's not optional. Michael #2: Codeberg's AI-code ban tests its role as a GitHub alternative Armin's article “Codeberg Divides” Armin Ronacher argues that Codeberg's new terms, which prohibit projects mostly written with generative AI, create a vague and difficult-to-enforce boundary. His larger concern is that a democratically governed host can still be unpredictable or ideologically narrow, weakening Codeberg's potential as a broad European alternative to GitHub. The strongest question for Python developers is whether repository hosting should judge legal open source by how code was produced, or focus on behavior and resource abuse. “Mostly generated” is hard to measure in modern codebases where developers mix handwritten code, completions, agents, and generated refactors. Ronacher suggests clearer alternatives: ban all LLM involvement, or target autonomous repository spam, abusive resource use, and low-quality generated contributions directly. Codeberg is free to choose a values-driven community, but that may conflict with being predictable, neutral infrastructure and a serious GitHub competitor. Worth discussing: can open-source communities set meaningful AI boundaries without driving maintainers and projects into opposing camps? Very first search for these terms lands on this page. Codeberg looked like a viable alternative. … Unfortunately, the latest update to its terms of service seems to mark a first step in changing one part I moved there for, namely the “freedom” part. Sponsor: Logfire from Pydantic Your AI agent failed at 2am. Was it the model? A tool call? The database? Most observability tools can't tell you, because they only see part of your stack. Pydantic Logfire sees all of it. One trace across your agents, LLMs, APIs, and database. Down to the infrastructure: services, Kubernetes, and hosts. It's built on OpenTelemetry, with SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and Rust, and it works with any OTel-compatible language. Every prompt, token count, and cost, right next to your vector searches and API calls. You query everything with Postgres-compatible SQL. And so can your coding agent, through the Logfire MCP server.

Calvin #3: Brett Cannon: what's missing for reproducible builds on PyPI Framing came out of his 2026 Python Packaging Council nomination - the secure-supply-chain gap he found is that Python has no defined way to do reproducible builds at all. Design goal is zero friction: producers uploading to PyPI shouldn't have to do anything. The work lands on build backends and installers. Gap #1: nothing records the source code a distribution came from. direct_url.json captures it when you install from a repo or archive, so the fix is putting the same info in sdist/wheel metadata. Gap #2: recording the build tools. Wheels can already do this via PEP 770 SBOMs in .dist-info/sboms/ - sdists can't, since they're a tarball plus a precalculated PKG-INFO with nowhere to hang extra metadata. Either "don't use sdists" or an sdist v2. The replay mechanism already exists: [build-system] in pyproject.toml is a defined entry point, so if backends recorded their own environment, you could reinstall and re-run the build. Payoff idea: trusted third parties report successful reproductions back to PyPI, which displays "independently reproduced by X" - surfaced in the index API so installers could prefer reproduced files. Explicitly framed as a perk, not a requirement - roughly SLSA build level 1, no shaming projects that don't opt in. Verbal kicker option: "And don't think pure-Python wheels are off the hook. Something built that wheel, and if that something was compromised, so is your wheel. SolarWinds was a build-process attack."

The Jewish IQ Myth: The Truth is Much Weirder Malcolm and Simone are a husband wife team of a neuroscientist and marketer turned entrepreneurs and authors. With graduate degrees from Stanford and Cambridge under their belts as well as five bestselling books, one of which topped out the WSJs nonfiction list, they are widely known (if infamous) intellectuals / provocateurs. The book we are quoting from: https://www.amazon.com/Pragmatists-Gu... Its only $1 and the money goes to a non-prophet focused on replacing the US education system. In this episode, we dissect the common myth that Ashkenazi Jews possess significantly higher IQs than other groups, exploring the data and studies behind these claims. We delve into how selective data representation and cultural factors contribute to Jewish success, rather than inherent genetic advantages. The discussion challenges widely-held stereotypes, highlights the importance of cultural practices, and examines the role of public discourse in shaping societal perceptions. Join us as we unravel the complexities and uncover the true factors behind Jewish exceptionalism.

My friend & Orbis editor, Dr. Tom Hermans-Webster, sent me this book with a note that said, "You're going to love this, Tripp. No, really, you are." He was right. O'neil Van Horn's Making Hope: Practices, Prayers, and Parables for a Changing Climate opens on page one by announcing that hope does not exist — which sounds like a branding failure until you realize he means hope is not a feeling or a thing or an object you possess, but an activity. Verbal. Processual. Something we weave together. The book is built in three movements — noticing, gathering, repairing — with nine everyday practices treated as parables: birding, foraging, composting, seed saving, mending, baking bread. It is process theology written for people who do not want to hear the word concrescence ever again, and it does the rare thing of being genuinely usable by a reading group, a Sunday school class, or a preacher looking for a sermon series. We covered why optimism and pessimism are both forms of certainty and hope is neither, why his farmer friend asking who is that? about a birdsong was a revelation, why compost undermines the entire Western notion of essence, why the shame you feel about not knowing your local trees is not your fault, and what it means that the book ends not with a trumpet but with a loaf of bread. My chicken Raven made a cameo. She said it was her favorite. Van Horn is offering to Zoom in with any reading group, discussion group, or congregation working through Making Hope.

You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. O'neil Van Horn is Assistant Professor of Theology at Xavier University in Cincinnati. He holds a PhD in philosophical and theological studies in religion from Drew University (where he studied with Catherine Keller), was a Louisville Institute Scholar from 2021 to 2023, and comes to theology with a background in organic agriculture and sustainability.

Questions about inspiration when the New Testament writers quote the Septuagint rather than the original text, whether we could add books to the Bible if new letters from the apostles were found, and how to handle passages like John 7:53–8:11 that were added to the original biblical text. Can you explain verbal plenary inspiration with regard to the New Testament writers quoting the Septuagint in places where it's different from the original Hebrew text? Would it be inappropriate to add books to the Bible if new letters from the apostles were found? How should we handle passages like John 7:53–8:11 and Mark 16:9–20 that seem to have been added to the original biblical text?

This approach allows creatives to manage their energy and maintain a fresh perspective.The Four Phases of Creative WorkInception: Intuition plays a critical role in the early stages of an idea. Trusting one's instincts can lead to the birth of innovative concepts.Experimentation: Exploring possibilities without judgment is crucial for innovation. This phase involves playful exploration and openness to new ideas.Crafting: Rubin likens this phase to a ‘winding staircase 100 stories tall,' where meticulous shaping and refining of the idea takes place.Completion: The final stage is about refinement, perspective, and finalising the project or product, making it ready for the world to see.Holding Problems LightlyRubin advocates for holding problems lightly, which means not getting bogged down by challenges and maintaining a flexible approach to problem-solving.Thanks to our monthly supportersMikeEdwin DeitchJamie DorwardEmily Rose BanksMalcolm MageeNatalieRyan N.Marco-Ken Möller孤鸿 月影FabianJasper VerkaartAndy PilaraOlaAustin HammattZachary PhillipsMike Leigh CooperGayla SchiffLaura KERoar Nikolay Ytre-EideStefRoger von Holdtvenkata reddyIngram CaseyOlarahul groverRavi GovenderCraig LindsaySteve WoollardDeborah SpahrSamoelaJo HatchardKalman CsehBerg De BleeckerPaul AcquaahMrBonjourKonnor Ah kuoiMarjan ModaraDietmar BaurBob Nolley ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
