The challenges we talk about include:1. Physical and Financial Constraints: Many churches invest most of their resources into maintaining buildings and programs rather than directly engaging the lost. This is especially difficult for smaller congregations.2. Passive Churchgoers Instead of Active Disciple-Makers: Institutional churches can unintentionally foster a consumer mindset, where members attend services but are not equipped to lead or disciple others.3. Limited Reach Beyond Church Walls: Most churches expect people to come to them rather than embedding the Gospel in everyday life and relationships.4. Slow Adaptation to Cultural Shifts: In an age of rapid change, large churches with complex structures often struggle to pivot quickly to meet new challenges and opportunities.5. Overemphasis on Sunday Gatherings: The primary focus in many churches is the Sunday experience, but disciple-making happens most effectively in smaller, relational environments.To get Bonus Content every week, click here to become a Financial Partner, or here to subscribe to the Free Weekly Newsletter.

In this episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg welcomes Deborah Goldstein, co-host of the hit kids' podcast The Big Fib and producer of the nationwide storytelling series Listen to Your Mother. Deborah shares what it's like raising two "man children" with her wife in a North Jersey suburb full of fellow Brooklyn expats, where being a cis, lesbian, monogamous couple is almost boring by local standards. The conversation spans everything from the surprising struggles of parenting highly responsible college kids (who could maybe stand to experiment a little) to the challenges of growing up with parents who withheld unconditional love. Deborah recounts her and her wife's multi-continent, multi-wedding path to parenthood—including importing donor sperm from the U.S. to London when local clinics weren't quite up to speed on queer family building. She and Ophira also unpack tracking your kids by phone, the shocking lack of time college students actually spend in class, and how kids on The Big Fib often have a better radar for truth than many adults. This episode is equal parts hilarious parenting chaos and refreshing perspective on raising kids in a rapidly changing world.

Albert Edman, Leader for Cities in Transition and Internationalisation Strategist at Viable Cities, as well as RISE North Sweden Coordinator. Together, we dive deep into how Swedish cities are working towards climate neutrality and how this links to the broader vision of the New European Bauhaus (NEB).We begin by unpacking Viable Cities: its mission, the cities involved, and how it operates within Sweden. Albert walks us through the full journey from the first contact with a municipality to actual, on-the-ground transformation sharing concrete examples of projects and methods used along the way.We then explore the New European Bauhaus, a bold EU initiative bridging the worlds of sustainability, inclusion, and aesthetics. Albert shares insights on how NEB has influenced local projects in Sweden, how it helps integrate cultural and social values into urban transformations, and how these dimensions connect to energy systems, mobility, and other technical aspects.__Keep Up the Good Work.

IN this ClinateGenn episode I am speaking with Dr Mike MacCracken, a pioneering climate scientist whose research on atmospheric physics and global climate change has significantly advanced our understanding of human impacts on the climate system. His leadership roles at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the US Global Change Research Program established him as a key figure in climate science. As chief scientist for the Office of the US Global Change Research Program, he played a crucial role in advising multiple US administrations on climate science and policy.In this episode we explore counter and cross-over views to opposition to solar geoengineering. With great respect to experts on all sides of this discussion– Mike offers some compelling reasons as to why we cannot just denounce proposals to cool the planet.This is at a time when the UK government is significantly funding research into solar geoengineering. With such a split in views on this topic, I hope you take the time to consider what Mike says, and also what Professor Raymond Pierrehumbert says in a previous episode, in order to inform your own perspective.In the next episode I'll be speaking with Alexander McDonald, a former head of US National Oceanic and atmospheric Agency, NOAA, who is the leading proponent behind SuperGrid's for supplying the world with clean abundant electrical energy– without which, all our dreams of the future will fail.Thanks to all subscribers.

This podcast interview focuses on entrepreneurial decision-making and product development. My guest is Rich Kahn, CEO of Anura. Rich has been building tech companies since 1993. In 2003, while running an ad network with his wife, clients began complaining about traffic quality issues. When he discovered no commercial fraud detection solutions existed, he reluctantly built one himself. Years later during an M&A process, potential acquirers showed minimal interest in his primary business but significant interest in this internal tool he'd developed. The rest is history. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Rich to my podcast. We explore the practical realities of identifying your most valuable product, even when it's not what you initially set out to build. Rich shares how he tested his solution against market leaders before spinning it off as a standalone company, and why focusing on measurable results rather than flashy features has been crucial to his success. Here is a quote that captures one of Rich's most practical business decisions: “We added a guarantee to Anura for two key reasons: First, our accuracy is not a gimmick. It's the real deal. Second, because no one else in the industry is willing to address false positives – real people misidentified as fraud. It's usually the number one issue that clients have with a fraud solution. We are so confident in our solution; we have no problem guaranteeing it.” By listening to this podcast you will learn: How to recognize when your side project has more market value than your core business Why solving measurable problems creates stronger differentiation than marketing hype When to build technology in-house versus partnering with others The practical challenges of scaling a technical business in a constantly evolving landscape For more information about the guest from this week: Rich Kahn Website: anura.io Learn more about your ad choices.
