It's Ruining Dinner with Diana Butler Bass on Tax day! Also, apparently, the day the Vice President told the Pope to stop doing theology. Diana Butler Bass joined me for what was supposed to be a casual religion news roundup and turned into something I didn't entirely expect — a full-on church history seminar about what happens when empire tries to silence the gospel and why it never actually works. We started where everyone started this week: JD Vance, a newly minted Catholic who received what sounds like the Peter Thiel E-Z Pass lane through RCIA, publicly suggesting that the Pope — the Pope — should think more carefully before opining about theology. The same Pope who then responded to a Pentagon threat referencing the Avignon papacy by giving an even stronger anti-war speech. We talked about Trump's Easter posts, the Jesus meme, the "I thought I was a doctor" explanation, and the remarkable spectacle of evangelicals — evangelicals — saying the president might be demon-possessed. But Diana being Diana, she kept pulling the historical threads, and we ended up somewhere genuinely useful: the long story of how American Christianity split the sacred from the secular, why that split is breaking down, what it means for a congregation trying to figure out what to do with the 250th anniversary of a nation that's currently threatening popes and bombing people on Easter Sunday, and why Whitehead's image of the flickering Galilean vision might be the most honest thing you can say right now about where hope lives. We didn't ruin anything. The ruining is, as Diana noted, already adequately covered.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Eric Swalwell is resigning from the House of Representatives and dropped out of his race for Governor amid mounting sexual assault allegations. Reporters say that Swalwell's behavior was known – if that's the case why wasn't it reported?  This points to a long-standing cover-up by elected Democrats, party operatives, and elements of the media, who continued to support and promote Swalwell despite the allegations. Swalwell was protected by Democrats and the media.  Jonathan Turley calls in and expresses suspicion over the rapid fall of Swalwell, who went from leading Democratic candidate for California governor one week to facing criminal and nanny investigations, plus an expedited Ethics Committee probe the next. He pointed to Democratic discomfort with Swalwell potentially running in California's jungle primary, where two Republicans currently lead, raising fears of a Republican vs. Republican general election. Also, the Democrats repeatedly invoke the 25th Amendment, knowing the media will amplify it to create a hostile environment for the president, even though the Vice President and Cabinet will not act. The Democrats who falsely claims Congress can invoke the 25th Amendment are ignorant.  Their push to remove President Trump by any means—25th Amendment, impeachment, or resignation—reveals their hypocrisy, as they once covered up Biden's incapacity. Later, Zohran Mamdani says he'll fight for the many, but not the few—what does that even mean? Capitalism created automobiles, the greatest medical system on earth, air conditioning, heating, housing for the vast majority of Americans, and fully stocked food stores. Socialism created nothing; it is not in the business of wealth creation, economic growth, or innovation—only control and redistribution of wealth.  Democrats pretend to be the champion of the many but actually hate them, as shown by open borders and refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens.

Confusion and controversy are growing around the intelligence community's handling of Havana Syndrome. This is what the government refers to as Anomalous Health Incidents, or AHIs. The mysterious health condition has left a group of American spies, diplomats, and service members with serious brain injuries. Many believe Russia's hand is at play. But an intelligence community assessment from 2023 said most agencies concluded it is “very unlikely” a foreign adversary was behind the affliction. It hasn't changed its stance despite new details coming to light. As Sasha first reported, the US government bought and has been testing a weapon that some scientists believe is likely the cause of these brain injuries. Sasha reached out to the CIA, which declined to comment then and declines to comment now. Accusations of a cover-up have been mounting, from inside the House Intelligence Committee to journalists covering AHI. Reporter Michael Weiss is part of a team that uncovered new information.

A People-First, Tech-Enhanced Approach to Customer Care  Shep interviews Jenni Hawkins, Vice President of Customer Care for Gas South. She discusses human-led customer service, employee engagement, and community involvement to deliver exceptional customer experiences.  This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can balancing technology and personal interaction improve customer loyalty?  How does a strong internal culture impact the overall customer experience?  Why is it important to offer customers a choice between AI tools and human interaction?  How can handwritten notes or personalized follow-ups boost brand loyalty?  How are emerging technologies like AI used to support, not replace, employees?  Top Takeaways:    Human-led customer service creates stronger connections with customers. Even as AI and technology advance, many customers still want the option to speak to a real person, especially for sensitive or complex issues.   While investing in AI enhances the customer experience, providing easy access to human support helps build trust, resolve issues efficiently, and build customer loyalty.  While many companies are turning to AI and self-service channels to cut costs, the most effective approach is to use technology to assist, not replace, customer support teams. AI tools and chatbots can handle routine inquiries and streamline processes, allowing agents to focus on building relationships, offering empathy, and solving complex problems.  When it's possible, employing customer care staff within the same communities they serve provides a significant advantage to both the company and its customers. Local teams have firsthand knowledge of regional regulations, weather patterns, and community-specific concerns. They can relate to customers on a more personal level, anticipate needs, and respond to unique local situations with empathy.   An organization's internal culture directly impacts the customer experience. When companies invest in their teams, employees become more engaged and committed to the company's mission.   Low employee attrition and high job satisfaction translate into more engaged agents who use their experience and empathy to better serve customers and contribute to a strong, positive brand reputation.  Personal touches like sending handwritten or personalized cards after customer interactions make a lasting impression. Even when automation is used to scale these efforts, cards that reference specific details from the customer's experience strengthen the sense of genuine care and appreciation that employees and companies have for them.  The State of Customer Service and CX study shows that most customers prefer to use the phone to resolve issues, especially when something goes wrong. This preference cuts across generational lines and is even more needed for emotional or complicated customer concerns. Even though self-service solutions boost efficiency, providing an easy way to speak with a real person when automation is not enough prevents frustration with impersonal digital-only solutions.  Customers love to do business with companies that contribute to their communities and support local causes. When companies are transparent about their community engagement, whether it's through financial contributions or volunteering, it not only makes employees proud to work there but also builds trust within the community.  When leaders consistently embody the business's values and mission and actively support both customers and employees, the effects are felt throughout the organization. Employees become brand ambassadors, invested not only in day-to-day tasks but also in the company's larger purpose. It creates a workplace where employees want to stay, and customers want to do business. Plus, Jenni shares how Gas South has earned thousands of outstanding 5-star Google reviews. Tune in!  Quote:   "Embracing technology is important, but customers should always have the choice to speak to a human when they need to."  About:     Jenni Hawkins is Vice President of Customer Care at Gas South and has previously held leadership roles at Delta Air Lines, CBORD/Roper Technologies, and Delta Community Credit Union. Since 2021, Jenni Hawkins has helped Gas South achieve record customer satisfaction and thousands of 5-star Google reviews.    Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Vice President JD Vance said over the weekend that the high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms including an end to all uranium enrichment. The Vice President did describe the 21-hours of negotiations with Iranian officials as "substantive discussions." Today, a U.S. lead naval blockade officially began in the Strait of Hormuz with orders to intercept any ships paying tolls to Iran. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Lucas Tomlinson, FOX News correspondent reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, who says the initial failure of the talks should not be a surprise.

"The love of Christ was the magnetic force that really drew us together."~ Debbie HerbeckWhat does it actually take to keep Christ at the center of a marriage through decades of real life?What do you do when one spouse is further ahead in faith than the other?How do you build a family culture that passes faith down to the next generation?In episode 98 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna welcome Peter and Debbie Herbeck, a couple with nearly 40 years of marriage, four children, and 12 grandchildren. Their story is anything but ordinary. Debbie grew up Jewish, came to faith at the University of Michigan, and paid a real price to follow Jesus. Peter came from a Catholic family shaped by both great love and the wounds of an alcoholic home. When they met, they were both already fully committed to the Lord individually, before they ever considered committing to each other.What followed was a marriage built not on ideal circumstances, but on a shared decision to put Jesus first, even when it was hard, messy, and costly.In this conversation, Peter and Debbie share the practical rhythms that kept their marriage rooted through busy seasons of parenting and ministry, what they say to couples where one spouse simply isn't on the same page in faith, and how they built a culture of honor in their home that their grandchildren are now carrying forward.This is the kind of wisdom that only comes from decades of saying yes to the Lord together.Peter Herbeck is the Vice President and Director of Missions for Renewal Ministries. Debbie Herbeck is the founder and executive director of Be Love Revolution and Pine Hills Girls Camp, and a speaker whose journey from Judaism to the Catholic faith has inspired thousands. Together they are co-authors of Lessons from the School of Love: Building a Christ-Centered Marriage.Chapters:(01:27) - Introduction and welcome(07:30) - Highs & Hards: life lately(09:40) - How Peter and Debbie met(18:30) - Blending two very different backgrounds in marriage(26:30) - Keeping Christ at the center: practical rhythms(39:30) - When one spouse is trailing behind in faith(50:30) - The culture of honor in your home(58:55) - Challenge By ChoiceLinks and Resources:Lessons from the School of Love: Building a Christ-Centered Marriage.

Early purchase order visibility can be the difference between staying ahead of disruption and scrambling to catch up.In this episode, Mike Wiggins, Senior Vice President of Solution Design and Deployment, and Nayeli Valladares, Vice President of Solution Design and Deployment at DP World, discuss why early purchase order visibility matters more than ever as supply chains face disruption, sourcing shifts, and greater complexity. They explain how purchase orders can give teams an earlier read on demand, risk, and pressure across suppliers, carriers, brokers, and internal teams, leading to better forecasting and smarter planning around inventory, capacity, and transportation.They also explore how companies are using technology and closer coordination to make faster, more informed decisions.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power are coming to an end after an election that saw massive voter turnout. Orbán was seen as a friend to both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump and his right wing government also introduced a range of policies aimed at boosting Hungary's declining birth rate, with particular focus on women as workers and mothers. Nuala McGovern talks to BBC East and Central Europe Correspondent Nick Thorpe alongside Éva Fodor, a Hungarian academic and sociologist at the Central European University, whose gender studies course was effectively banned by the Orbán government in 2018. What's the best thing about being a girl in 2026? In her new Radio 4 series, About the Girls, author and journalist Catherine Carr travels around the country to talk to girls about friendship, life online, body image and relationships. She joins Nuala to share what she learnt about the world this generation of girls are navigating. For the first time, a woman has been appointed to coach a men's team in one of Europe's top five football leagues. Marie-Louise Eta has been named interim Head Coach of Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga, the equivalent of the Premier League here. It's a sudden appointment, until the end of the season, and it follows a string of losses and the dismissal of the previous coach. We talk to Rosi Webb, previously one of the few female coaches in charge of a men's team in England for five years, alongside Laura McAllister, former international footballer and Vice President of UEFA.Dame Paula Rego has been described as one of the most important artists of the 20th century. She said, “I paint to give fear a face”, and her art depicts the world from the female perspective and highlights themes including abortion, fairy tales, religion and how women are viewed in society. Now, four years since her death, a new exhibition, called Story Line, brings together 140 of her drawings, showcasing her life from eight to 80. Nuala is joined by Paula's son Nick Willing, who curated the exhibition, and her friend, the writer Marina Warner.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Simon Richardson

Vice President JD Vance said over the weekend that the high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms including an end to all uranium enrichment. The Vice President did describe the 21-hours of negotiations with Iranian officials as "substantive discussions." Today, a U.S. lead naval blockade officially began in the Strait of Hormuz with orders to intercept any ships paying tolls to Iran. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Lucas Tomlinson, FOX News correspondent reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, who says the initial failure of the talks should not be a surprise.

In this episode, we talk with Cortney Freeland, Vice President of Engagement and Outreach for the United Dairy Industry of Michigan (UDIM) and Florida Dairy Farmers (FDF). She discusses why 70% of the dairy distributed through Michigan food banks is now purchased, which means that they are no longer primarily relying on surplus or donations, but instead becoming consistent customers of dairy. For farmers, that translates into more demand for milk and getting milk into more households. And for food bank clients, it means greater access to the essential nutrition dairy foods provide.

Born in Iran and educated in the UK, she has also served in ministry as a worship leader and college chaplain with a focus on youth and mental health.

Dr. Neely is the retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary and serves as Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute. He has pastored several churches in the Chicago area, served as a missionary pastor to Senegal, and teaches globally through ministry and conferences.

Is generative AI on track to become the biggest productivity unlock for marketers since the internet, or will it forever be stuck in endless pilot projects and one-off experiments? Agility requires moving beyond isolated experiments and embracing the systemic redesign of core creative and marketing workflows. It's about building the operational muscle to not just adopt new technology, but to integrate it into the very fabric of how your brand creates value. Today, we're going to talk about what happens after the initial hype cycle of generative AI. We're moving past the novelty of prompting for images and into the far more complex challenge of operationalizing AI at enterprise scale. This isn't just about adding a new tool; it's about re-architecting the entire creative supply chain and redefining the role of human judgment in a world of content abundance.

This comes after Palmer designed the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset, at age 19, revolutionizing the world of virtual reality. Palmer sat down to talk with Sasha about how Anduril's work also supports the US intelligence community, an essential part of mission readiness.  *Note: ISR refers to Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Subscribe to Sasha's Substack, HUMINT, to get more intelligence stories: https://sashaingber.substack.com/ For more information about the International Spy Museum, visit:  https://www.spymuseum.org/ And if you have feedback or want to hear about a particular topic,  you can reach us by email at spycast@spymuseum.org.
