I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 28th of November, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start off in the Book of Psalms 1:3:“He shall be like a treePlanted by the rivers of water,That brings forth its fruit in its season,Whose leaf also shall not wither;And whatever he does shall prosper.” What a beautiful promise for the children of God from our Heavenly Father! Then just to confirm that we go to the Book of Ezekiel 47:12: “They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.” What a beautiful promise from Jesus Christ for you, my dear friend and for me, today. When I think of rivers of living water, I think of the mighty Victoria Falls, one of the wonders of the world. Maybe you have never had the privilege of being there. I want to describe something to you. I want you to think of Dr David Livingstone, the missionary, who was walking through the bush for days if not weeks - flat, dry land, no mountains, no valleys, just flat, with a lot of thorn bush. He must have woken up one day and as he was walking he saw a column of smoke going right out of the ground and into the sky. He must have seen it many, many miles away. As he got closer, he realised it wasn't smoke, it was mist. It was coming from a river, the mighty Zambezi River, and then he saw the wonder of God, the Victoria Falls. There is a depression in the ground. There is no mountain, there are no waterfalls, the river is running and it disappears into a crevice. The Africans call it Most-Oa-Tunya, The Smoke That Thunders. The ground literally trembles under your feet in the rainy season. You can hardly see anything with this beautiful water. There is a forest there, a green lush forest that looks like a tropical jungle, walking out of those dry wastelands. Now I want to say to you today, that is what Jesus is to you and I, but you need to be thirsty. He was very thirsty, I am thirsty and I am sure you are. That water brings healing to your body. It is a soothing feeling in your very innermost being. It is food, it is life, it's cleansing, it's restoring and it is for every season of life. Today, put your feet in the beautiful, cool water and call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will soothe you, refresh you and take away all your fears and all your doubts. In Jesus' name, amen.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 29th of October, 2024 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Book of Psalms. I just love the psalms! Psalm 37:4: “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”Now folks, I don't know how it is with you but with us here at Shalom, the Lord gave us a specific scripture to stand on. Now, we have adopted this scripture verse as our verse for this ministry. Now, we got it from George Müller, the man who started the children's home in Bristol, England. Something like 10,000 children went through his home, 60 million pounds through his hands, and what a man of faith, a great inspiration to me, a practical man. I never had the privilege of going to Bible College, and I tell you what - it is a great privilege and I am very sorry about it. I would have loved to have gone to Bible College but the Lord sent me to a different Bible College. It's called “the school of life, the school of hard knocks” - that's right. My school fees were paid on the farm, through drought, through fire, through personal tragedies, through economic hardships, through disease. That is where I learned to delight myself in the Lord and He gave me the desires of my heart. That is why I am speaking to you this morning, my dear friend. Please today, focus on Jesus and He will take care of the rest. The very next verse, verse 5 says: “Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.” That was one of the great explorer's verses. I am talking about Dr David Livingstone from bonny Scotland, who discovered the Victoria Falls, who was instrumental and one of the main players in abolishing that horrible human trade of selling people as slaves - David Livingstone. I want to say to you folks, there was many a time he didn't know where he was going because no one had ever been there before, but he committed his ways to the Lord, and the Lord did the rest.Today, delight yourself in the Lord. Let Him take care of your situation. Commit your way to the Lord and let Him direct your paths. Have a wonderful day,Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Praised for his unique writing style and powerful character development skills, his books cross multiple genres and appeals to diverse audiences.Stephen was born in England, a far cry from the Nevada desert he now calls home. At age seven, his family relocated to the southern part of Africa, where he was raised in various countries and attended boarding school. The opportunity to experience other cultures as a child inspired a love of travel in him that eventually led to his love of the written word.In his late teens, he returned to London and spent seven years absorbing as much art, music, culture, and countryside as he could. While living in England, he also seized the opportunity to explore neighboring countries and cultures throughout Europe. In 1976, a job opportunity brought him across the pond to Los Angeles, California. He happily lived there many years, eventually opening his own business.In 2003, Stephen once again was drawn to something new.

They provided inspiration and insight that remained with him long after the trips ended.In 2007, he started writing down the stories from his travels as a way to keep a record of all the places he'd visited and the people he'd met. He spent two years capturing his experiences on paper. Through this process he discovered a passion for writing.He has since published several well-regarded books in the genres of mainstream fiction, murder mystery, holiday fiction and crime fiction.

Callum returns to Hearts of Oak to discuss his recent travels in Zimbabwe, specifically exploring what he terms "The Ruins of Rhodesia." He reflects on his previous adventures in Afghanistan and Ukraine, characterizing Zimbabwe as a unique yet complicated experience, marked by a sense of danger stemming from uncertainty regarding political expression. Unlike clearly defined lines in countries like Afghanistan and Russia, where one might be aware of the topics to avoid, Zimbabwe creates an atmosphere of anxiety regarding what is permissible to say, a situation exacerbated by the fear of arbitrary punishment for dissent. This nuance in the social landscape leads to a broader discussion on censorship and the anxieties that stem from a lack of clear boundaries in free expression, drawing parallels to rising concerns in the UK. Callum emphasizes the need for context, particularly historical context, to understand modern Zimbabwe. He introduces a historical segment at the start of the interview explaining the complex narrative of Zimbabwe, particularly the Rhodesian era and its consequences. Many viewers lack knowledge about Zimbabwe's past, so he simplifies this history for clarity while ensuring accuracy. Callum examines the migration of the Matabele, tracing their history back to the 1800s, and offers insights into the intricate ethnic dynamics at play, which challenge oversimplified narratives about race and colonization. He illustrates that racial delineations are insufficient and argues for recognizing the underlying complexities of Zimbabwe's colonial history. As he recounts his personal experiences traveling through Zimbabwe, Callum reflects on the realities of life for both black and white people since the end of colonial rule. He notes that while some narratives portray extreme animosity between racial groups, his interactions suggest a more complicated relationship characterized by mutual respect juxtaposed with lingering power dynamics from the colonial past. He recounts a surprising level of historical nostalgia where some younger Zimbabweans express a longing for governance styles reminiscent of Ian Smith's regime, revealing a stark contrast between the past and the current political situation. Transportation and logistics in Zimbabwe provide another layer to his narrative. Callum talks about the surprisingly easy travel to Victoria Falls and the challenges faced navigating through the country, detailing the state of the roads and public transport. In Harare, he contrasts the monumental urban development against rural struggles, noting that access to basic amenities can vary greatly within the same country. He draws attention to the stark divide between wealth and poverty in urban settings, where modernity exists alongside profound struggles, likening some areas to Victorian-era slums. On the topic of the economy, Callum finds that entrepreneurship thrives out of necessity rather than opportunity, with an estimated 95% of the populace operating outside formal employment structures. This observation leads to a deeper examination of economic resilience amidst scarcity, observing that people often engage in multiple trades to survive. As he discusses the state of agriculture, mining, and informal markets, he highlights the disparity between the potential within the country and the suffering caused by systemic mismanagement and corruption. Throughout the conversation, Callum underscores the contrasting ideas of colonial legacy, current governance, and potential futures for Zimbabwe, demonstrating a deep empathy for the Zimbabwean people, whose lives reflect resilience amid adversity. His thoughts culminate in a hopeful outlook for the nation, despite its challenges, as he expresses a desire to return to witness further developments. The interview underscores the importance of understanding historical context in grasping contemporary issues, culminating in a nuanced portrayal of Zimbabwe beyond mere headlines. In closing, Callum outlines logistical details for potential travellers to Zimbabwe, encouraging exploration while emphasizing mindful awareness of the nuanced social and political landscape. To support his journeys and future work, he invites listeners to connect with him through his subscription platform, calling for continued engagement in discussing and exploring the complexities of cultures and histories around the globe.  Connect with Callum...

223: The Strategic Advantage: How the Right Questions Lead to Better Customer Solutions with Eric Rozenberg

Did you know that asking the right questions can significantly enhance your understanding of your meeting attendees and clients and the challenges they face?  Today, Eric focuses on formulating insightful queries to uncover the specific difficulties your clients and attendees encounter in their business lives, enabling you to position yourself better as a strategic partner and offer them more assistance. Stay tuned for Eric's insights and expert advice. Better Positioning Through Effective Questioning Positioning yourself more effectively through questioning involves asking insightful, strategic questions beyond logistics alone. Inquiring about your clients' core challenges, goals, and desired outcomes will allow you to demonstrate a deeper level of engagement and expertise, shifting your role from a service provider to a strategic partner. So, instead of asking only basic questions about numbers and logistics, delve into the broader context of their industry challenges and objectives. That will help you tailor solutions aligned with their needs and will help establish you as someone invested in their success. Real-Life Example: Insurance Company Incentive Trip Eric shares an example from his book, Meeting at C-Level, to illustrate the power of asking the right questions. An insurance company wanted an incentive trip to New York. Instead of just taking the order, Eric spent five minutes asking about their challenges and learned they had three generations working together and a mix of long-term and new employees. So he created a program to address those challenges, including a unique music studio experience that brought all the different generations together, helping them to create lasting memories. Surprise and Engagement in Zimbabwe Another example Eric shares is about a media company with a military veteran commercial director. Eric organized a surprise helicopter ride over Victoria Falls instead of the expected drop-off in the bush, creating a truly memorable experience. He also took a group photo during a rafting trip and sent it to attendees a month later, reminding them of the experience and creating a lasting connection. The Impact of Asking the Right Questions Eric explains that asking the right questions will give you a deeper understanding of your clients, their challenges, and their goals. It positions you as a strategic partner and allows you to plan more efficiently and create meaningful experiences, leading to more fulfilling business relationships and greater client satisfaction. Conclusion By asking the right questions, you can set yourself apart from your competition, understand your clients better, and create more impactful and memorable experiences. That positions you as a strategic partner and helps you build stronger, more satisfying business relationships.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 19th of March, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to Isaiah 50:7:"For the Lord God will help Me;Therefore I will not be disgraced;Therefore I have set My face like a flint,And I know that I will not be ashamed."The Lord Jesus will help you and me to succeed; we will not be disgraced; we will set our faces like a flint. Verse 6 tells you, just before that, that He gave His back to those who struck Him, …"And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting." Isaiah 50:6Even though the Lord Jesus Christ was absolutely, shamefully treated, it did not stop Him from going to Jerusalem and completing the task that the Lord set before Him. He did not retaliate; no, He pressed on to the goal of His high calling. A flint is a very hard rock—a hard, grey rock. It's used to produce a spark. If you take two flints and knock them together, it causes a spark. Now, giving up is not in Jesus' vocabulary. David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer-missionary who discovered Victoria Falls in Central Africa, was instrumental in abolishing the slave trade. He said, "I will go anywhere as long as it is forward." The Lord Jesus Christ set His sights on Jerusalem, He knew what was waiting for Him but He never looked back once. Paul, the apostle, knew he had to go to Rome; he knew he would die in Rome; even his dear friends tried to persuade him not to go, but he went and he got his head cut off in Rome for his faith. A young German, by the name of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, was able to escape from the Nazis and go to the USA. He was 39 years old. He had only been there about three months when he said, "No, I have to go back; I have to go back and help my friends." The Nazis caught him and hanged him at the end of the war. You and I, too, must follow the example of Christ and not be led by our circumstances but rather by the calling that the Lord has put in our lives. Then we shall succeed in whatever we are doing, whether it is that degree you need to get, whether it is that sporting achievement that you are desiring, as long as it is for God's glory, whether it's that business proposition, keep your eyes on the ball, keep your eyes on Heaven and you will succeed. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

I have been traveling as a Brand Ambassador with Collette for the past six years, where I have been to Japan, Iceland, and now Africa. Everyone at Collette does a superb job planning and executing their tours. To learn more about my first two tours, visit AdventuresofEmptyNesters.com and type Japan and Iceland in the search bar.

Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about this experience. It was a dream trip and exceeded all of my expectations, and you will have the opportunity to hear so much in this episode, as well as Episodes 2 and 3. But first, let me tell you a little about my husband, Craig Stavert. Craig and I met in high school, went to different colleges, and will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in October. Where did the time go? We have been traveling together since our honeymoon to Maui & Kauai. We did not travel that much when our kids were younger due to school activities and sports obligations. However, once the kids left the nest, it was game on, and we have not stopped exploring the world. Craig's business career has been in the tech industry, running global sales organizations. He was traveling a great deal, and since the kids were grown, it was time for me to get back out there. I created the Adventures of Empty Nesters blog ten years ago. I was initially writing about life in the Empty Nest but then pivoting to writing about my travel experiences. Now, I work with global travel brands, sharing their destinations and stories through my podcast. Now that you have a little background on the two of us, here are some of the episode's highlights! Highlights: Why is Africa a bucket list destination? What is a typical day like on safari? Lunch at the home of a local woman named Audrey in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe The astounding access to wildlife in their natural habitat The power, size, and magnitude of Victoria Falls "Ellies at night" - The extraordinary gift The special benefits of small group tours and how Collette gets it right Craig explains his quote, "You go to Africa for the wildlife, but it's the people that you remember the most."
