““Without healthy employees, you don't have healthy customers. And without healthy customers, you don't have a healthy bottom line.” — Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO, Five to Flow.While artificial intelligence (AI) has hastened development and made enterprises more efficient, it also comes with more deadlines. The deadlines often merge into after-hours messaging. Burnout has become a default result of productivity, especially in the tech industry. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer and B2B Tech Journalist, speaks with Kate Visconti, Founder and CEO of Five to Flow, about the critical issues of burnout and disengagement in the workplace. They discuss the five core elements of change management, the financial implications of employee wellness, and strategies for enhancing productivity through flow optimisation. Also Watch: Fixing the Gender Gap in STEMThe Wellness Wave Diagnostic to Help Fix Profit LeaksVisconti stresses the importance of creating a supportive work environment and implementing effective change management practices to improve organisational performance. The conversation also highlights the role of technology in productivity and the need for leaders to prioritise employee well-being to drive business success.With an ambition to change the way organisations define true performance, VIsconti developed a system – a data-driven framework called The Wellness Wave. As per the official Five to Flow website, The Wellness Wave is “a proprietary diagnostic that measures sentiment and business performance across five core elements.”Visconti sheds light on the original framework of the company. She says, “The original was adopted when we first kicked off as part of our consulting, and it's called the Wellness Wave diagnostic. It's literally looking across the five core elements — people, culture, process, technology, and analytics.”This framework helps companies identify and fix their profit leaks, which are the hidden financial losses caused by employee burnout, disengagement, and distraction. In her conversation with Dua, host of the Tech Transformed podcast episode, Visconti shares how understanding human behaviour can lead to significant improvements in business performance.According to Five to Flow's global diagnostics, only 13 per cent of flow triggers work at their best. For tech leaders, that means most teams are functioning well below their potential.Kate's top tip is to create flow blocks. “It's about designing uninterrupted time for peak focus. This is when your brain isn't in a stress state. For me, it's mornings with my coffee. For others, it might be in the afternoon. Communicate those times to your team and protect them like meetings.”These flow blocks aren't just productivity tricks; they show that focus is more important than frantic multitasking. “Multitasking is a fallacy,” Kate says. “You're just rapidly switching tasks and burning through mental...

Rudolf Scholten und Wolfgang Maderthaner: GESCHICHTSSCHREIBUNG ZWISCHEN MYTHEN UND LEGENDEN – FOLGE 8 Des Stifters Erbe: Von Leichentüchern, Finanzkapitalisten und innerdynastischen Machtkämpfen In dieser – achten - Folge ihrer Gespräche über Mythen und Legenden in der Geschichte Österreichs führen uns Rudolf Scholten und Wolfgang Maderthaner ins 14. Jahrhundert. Sie widmen sich dem Habsburger-Herrscher Rudolf IV., genannt der Stifter, und seinen Erben. Rudolf IV. herrscht ab 1358 über die Herzogtümer Österreich (heute Nieder- und Oberösterreich), Kärnten und Steiermark, später auch über Tirol und die Krain (heute Teil Sloweniens). Er festigt die Stellung Wiens als Residenzstadt der Habsburger, baut den Stephansdom aus und gründet die Universität Wien. Verheiratet mit Katharina von Luxemburg, Tochter des deutschen Kaisers Karls IV., schließt er mit seinem Schwiegervater einen Erbvertrag, der die gegenseitige Erbfolge von Habsburgern und Luxemburgern im Fall des Aussterbens einer der beiden Dynastien vorsieht. Mit dem „Privilegium Maius“, der geschicktesten Urkundenfälschung des Mittelalters, sichert er den Habsburgern Sonderrechte und stellt sie als Erzherzöge den Kurfürsten im Heiligen Römischen Reich gleich.Als ehrgeizig und weitblickend erweist sich Rudolf auch in seiner Wirtschaftspolitik: Er richtete seinen Blick nach Italien, wo sich mit Lucca und Mailand neue Handels- und Finanzzentren entwickeln, die Ausgangspunkte einer neuen Wirtschaftsordnung werden. Seinen jüngeren Bruder Leopold verheiratet er mit einer Tochter des wohlhabenden Mailänder Fürstengeschlechts Visconti. 1365 stirbt Rudolf im Alter von nur 25 Jahren in Mailand. Seine Brüder Albrecht und Leopold und deren Nachkommen teilen sich – keineswegs einvernehmlich - die Herrschaft über die habsburgischen Länder.Innerfamiliäre Konflikte und kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen mit Rivalen und Aufständischen prägen die nächsten Jahrzehnte. Erst spät im 15. Jahrhundert wird es Maximilian I. gelingen, die Macht im Habsburgerreich auf sich zu vereinen. Wolfgang Maderthaner, Historiker, Präsident des Vereins der Geschichte der ArbeiterInnenbewegung Rudolf Scholten, Präsident des Bruno Kreisky Forums Aufgezeichnet im Bruno Kreisky Forum im September 2025 Technische Produktion: Max Hofko

In recent years, there has been a great emphasis on the supreme beauty and quality of the handmade in contemporary design. I am confident that we are currently at the heights of a craft movement and it carries a particular 21st century identity, which combines traditional fabrications of craftsmanship with methods rooted in new technologies and materials. It is no longer a secret that bronze, which was largely absent from contemporary design in the years leading to the end of the past century, has taken a key role in contemporary design like no other time in history, with much of it being fabricated in Italy.Osanna Visconti, my guest today, has become the ambassador of Italian bronze in contemporary design. Working in Milan, she has made cast bronze her sole tool. Now that her work is exhibited at Maison Gerard in New York, the time has come to explore her incredible vocabulary by journeying from jewelry to furniture design; or, as she calls it, “jewelry for the home.”Her furniture has personality, and her objects have the power to transform contemporary spaces, making them a favorite among interior designers today. Visconti's pieces are rooted in the natural world as she regularly collects leaves, branches, and flowers, turning them into the primary subjects of her bronze objects.

Hoy repasaremos la vida de una chica normal que se veía fea, hoy recordaremos a Claude Giuseppina Rose Cardinale, más conocida como CC, Claudia Cardinale. BB era Brigitte Bardot pero llegó Paul Newman y dejaron de usar lo de las iniciales. La pequeña Claudia nació el 15 de abril de 1938 en Túnez. En verdad sus raíces eran sicilianas pero como en Italia había menos trabajo que el tablón del INEM, sus padres se fueron a trabajar a la empresa naviera del abuelo materno de Claudia. En su casa se hablaba francés, árabe y siciliano, que son como dos de Benacazón peleándose por un aparcamiento. Sin embargo Claudia no aprendió italiano hasta los 18 años, cuando le hizo falta. En 1952, a los 14 años, Claudia estaba ayudando a su madre a preparar un concurso para nombrar a la chica italiana más bella de Túnez y estando todas las candidatas en el escenario, un gashó la agarró del brazo, la subió y le puso la banda sin haberse presentado. Y es que Claudia era un poquito Doña Sofía, la última en enterarse. Cuando pasó al instituto no podía con ella ni la Supernany; Era gritona, se peleaba con tó los niños y no dejaba hablar, como María Patiño pero con la voz de Constantino Romero. Antes de terminar el BUP participó en un corto que se presentó en el festival de cine de Berlín y eso fue para directores y productores como enseñarle un Funko a un Friki, todos querían que participara en sus películas pero ella dijo “no” más veces que una madre en el Tiger, tantas que hasta un periódico escribió sobre ella diciendo “La chica que no quiere hacer cine”. Y es que lo que ella quería era ser maestra. Cuando tenía 17 años un mierda obsesionado con ella que no quiso aceptar un no, la dejó embarazada y la acosó para que abortara pero Claudia siguió adelante y tuvo un niño, Patrizio, al que la familia criaría como si fuera un hijo más y, por tanto, hermano de Claudia. Como al padre le escribían más cartas que a Elena Francis para convencer a Claudia de hacer carrera en el cine, la familia entera se mudó a Roma cuando tenía 19 años para intentarlo. En 1957 rodó Goha, junto a Omar Sharif y el resto es Historia del cine. En esta época tenía una cara y un cuerpo que si hubiera sido maestra tó sus alumnos se hubieran quedao ciegos. Fellini y Visconti se la turnaban por semanas para rodar, Marcelo Mastroianni le dijo que siempre la había amado cuando aún estaba casado con Catherine Deneuve y Marlo Brando… Marlo Brando no cuenta porque ese le tiraba caña hasta a una muñeca de cera del museo de Madrid. Filántropa y feminista, en 1966 se casó con el productor Franco Cristaldi quién adoptó a su hijo y en 1975, tras el divorcio se juntó con el director Pasquale Squitieri con quién tuvo a su hija Claudia y con el que estuvo 30 años. También tuvo una aventura con Jackes Chirac, pero al final decidió vivir sola porque ASÍ ACABÓ DE JARTA. Desgraciadamente, el pasado 23 de septiembre, Claudia Cardinale se marchó a los 87 años aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarla cuando le enseñen un Funko a un friki o vayan al museo de cera de aquí de Madriz.

On commence avec la disparition d'une icône du cinéma, Claudia Cardinale à l'âge de 87 ans. Connue pour ses rôles dans " Le Guépard " ou " Il était une fois dans l'Ouest ", elle inspira les grands noms du cinéma italien, Visconti , Fellini, ou encore Sergio Leone

La recientemente estrenada Quemadura china, propone una fábula inquietante: dos siameses se preparan para una separación quirúrgica, mientras su hermano, que oficia de cirujano, confiesa su deseo de “coserse” a ellos. La película combina humor absurdo, delirio y extrañeza para explorar lo que nos une y lo que nos separa: el cuerpo, la identidad y los lazos familiares. El elenco lo conforman César Troncoso, Néstor Guzzini y la propia Perrotta que llevan adelante una puesta cargada de fisicidad, Quemadura china se anima a desafiar al espectador con un lenguaje propio.Recordamos a la actriz italiana Claudia Cardinale, quien falleció a los 87 años en Nemours, cerca de París, rodeada de sus hijos.Se convirtió en una de las grandes figuras del cine europeo desde los años 60: musa de Fellini, Visconti, Sergio Leone, entre otros, y protagonista de películas como 8½, El gatopardo, Érase una vez en el Oeste y La Pantera Rosa. Su presencia en pantalla, su voz ronca, su capacidad para dar vida a personajes femeninos complejos, la hicieron un símbolo de belleza, talento y rebeldía cultural.

Stéphane Boudsocq salue la carrière et la vie de Claudia Cardinale, qui s'est éteinte en famille mardi 23 septembre, chez elle à Nemours à l'âge de 87 ans. Le film "Le guépard" de Luchino Visconti en 1963 est selon lui le parfait symbole de ce qu'a représenté la comédienne... C'est à la fois Visconti, Alain Delon et Burt Lancaster, l'Italie, la France et Hollywood... Claudia Cardinale durant plus de 60 ans aura promené sa beauté farouche, son caractère bien trempé sur les plateaux européens et américains, enchainant des classiques comme "Rocco et ses frères", "Cartouche", "Huit et demi", "Il était une fois dans l'Ouest" ou "Les pétroleuses" en 1971 avec celle qu'on avait présenté (à tort) comme sa rivale : Brigitte Bardot...Hébergé par Audiomeans.

È morta ieri a Nemours, vicino Parigi, Claudia Cardinale, icona del cinema italiano anni Sessanta. Aveva 87 anni.
Nata a Tunisi, figlia di padre siciliano e madre francese, ha lavorato con i più grandi: Visconti, Fellini, Leone, Brooks.
Per generazioni è stata la bellezza, come la definivano i suoi contemporanei. Oggi, insieme a Sophia Loren e Gina Lollobrigida, rimane scolpita nella memoria collettiva come simbolo universale del cinema italiano.

Mike talks with Rana Dasgupta, recipient of a 2025 Windham-Campbell Prize in Nonfiction, about the pleasures of the 1958 novel The Leopard as well as its Visconti-directed film adaptation and how both projects reflect on our present tenuous moment. Born in Canterbury, United Kingdom, Rana Dasgupta has lived in the United States, India, and France. His work includes Tokyo Cancelled (2005), a collection of contemporary folktales, and a novel, Solo (2009), which won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (2010). In 2014, he published his first nonfiction work, Capital: The Eruption of Delhi. His clear-eyed observation of 21st-century crises lies at the heart of his highly anticipated forthcoming book, After Nations (2026), which explores the dissipation of the powers of the nation-state and seeks ways for us to navigate the resulting confusion. As an essayist, Dasgupta has contributed to distinguished outlets such as Harper's, Granta, and The New Statesman. For several years, he taught a course on 21st-century culture and ideas at Brown University. His lectures on the nation-state, and the possibilities beyond it, have been hosted by the Berggruen Institute, the Serpentine Gallery, the House of World Cultures, and elsewhere.

What if your biggest temptations are actually opportunities for your greatest victories? In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan Visconti unpacks the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness (Mark 1 and Matthew 4) and shows how it directly connects to the struggles you and I face every day.Jesus was hungry, tired, and alone, and the devil tempted Him to abandon suffering, abandon humility, and abandon God's plan. But instead of giving in, Jesus resisted with the Word of God. And because He overcame, you can overcome too.In this message you'll learn:• Why temptation always comes from the enemy, not from God• How to endure suffering instead of escaping it too soon• The danger of letting pride drive your decisions• Why shortcuts to success always lead to regret• Five practical ways to overcome temptation in your daily life.You're not the first to be tempted, and you're not alone. Jesus knows your struggle, He's with you in the fight, and He will help you stand strong.

Welcome to Future Conceived, the official podcast of the Society for the Study of Reproduction.  In this episode, host Cam Schmidt chats with Dr. Pablo Visconti, Professor of Animal and Veterinary Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Sperm maturation doesn't end with ejaculation, but instead continues in the female reproductive tract through a series of complex biochemical changes. This maturation process, known as capacitation, can make or break sperm success and its independent discovery in the 1950's by Austin and Chang helped pave the way for the first successful in vitro fertilization. Dr. Visconti has been studying the molecular mechanisms that control mammalian sperm capacitation for more than 40 years. This discussion offers a fascinating window into Dr. Visconti's approach to this problem and how his mechanistic insights have evolved as knowledge about sperm capacitation has accumulated over the course of his career.

This message will challenge your theology, confront cultural confusion, and open your eyes to the prophetic power of God's covenant with Israel. In a world full of noise, misinformation, and rising antisemitism, this sermon cuts through with biblical truth. You'll learn that Christians can get weird regarding the topic of Israel… don't be weird. Pastor Ryan unpacks God's promises, Israel's purpose, and how YOUR salvation as a Gentile was made possible through God's sovereign plan for Israel.Does Israel still matters in God's eyes? What did Paul mean by Gentiles being “grafted in?” Does the church replace Israel? How do I pray, think, and act with conviction in today's chaos in the Middle East? You will learn the biblical perspective a Christian should have regarding Israel.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2025/07/16/thinking-aloud-about-film-delitto-damore-luigi-comencini-1974/ DELITTO D'AMORE (Luigi Comencini, 1974), also known as CRIME OF LOVE or SOMEWHERE BEYOND LOVE in English, is along with VOLTATI EUGENIO (1980), my favourite of the Comencini films shown at this year's Ritrovato in Bologna. Two factory workers fall in love. He's from a family of Anarchists from the North. She's an immigrant from South. They both live with their families but she's a woman so all her movements are monitored. They split up because she needs to be married in a Church whilst he can only consider City Hall. Factories spewing smoke is a constant background to the development of their romance. In the accompanying podcast Richard and I discuss: how it is a MARXIST romance in which two factory workers fall in love even as the factory spews poison all over them (one of the titles considered for the film was LOVE AND POISON); how rare it is for a political film to deploy such a delicate tone, a mixture of humour/romance/enchantment; the relative rarity of having working class workers depicted so lovingly and glamorously (by Guliano Gemma and Stefania Sandrelli). The film's been compared to LOVE STORY (Arthur Hiller, 1970) and also ALI, FEAR EATS THE SOUL (Fassbinder, 1974). We bring up Visconti's ROCCO E I SUOI FRATELLI (1960). None of the comparisons convey the humour, the romance, the enchantment that this very political film evokes. We hope we do in the podcast that follows:

Suicide, Salvation, and God's Grace: the Truth Christians Need Is Suicide the Unforgivable Sin? This powerful and compassionate message addresses one of the most difficult topics we face—suicide.

Your mind is a battlefield—time to win the war. Negative thoughts are more than a nuisance—they're poison to your peace, your faith, and your future. But Jesus didn't save you so you could live stuck in anxiety, depression, or a hopeless mindset.In this powerful, practical message, Lead Pastor Ryan Visconti breaks down how to conquer negative thoughts before they conquer you.

Franchise ownership is one of the most accessible and scalable paths to business success—but only when paired with the right strategy, guidance, and support. Alesia Visconti, CEO and President of FranServe, has built her career on making that path clearer, faster, and more impactful for aspiring entrepreneurs around the world. Alesia leads FranServe, the world's largest franchise consulting and broker organization. Under her leadership, FranServe has grown into a powerhouse platform that connects people with franchise opportunities and equips them to become successful consultants themselves. Her work is redefining how the industry approaches business ownership, making it more inclusive, accessible, and future-focused. With over two decades of experience as a CEO, Visconti's approach to franchise ownership is anything but theoretical. She began as a franchise consultant herself, quickly becoming a top producer. When the opportunity came to acquire FranServe in 2016, she seized it—and completely transformed the organization. What was once a small network is now a global leader in franchise development, with hundreds of consultants and a mission rooted in empowerment. Visconti's approach is guided by a belief in personal freedom through business ownership. For many, franchise ownership provides the chance to control their future without starting from scratch. FranServe simplifies that journey by offering a structured, supported model with proven systems and a network of experts. This structure not only benefits the franchisees but also those looking to become franchise consultants—a role that has become increasingly valuable in the post-pandemic business landscape. Alesia also leads the charge in shaping the future of franchising through advocacy and education. She sits on several key committees within the International Franchise Association, including VetFran, the Diversity Institute, and the Legal Legislative Committee. She's a frequent speaker in Washington, D.C., lobbying for laws that protect small business owners and promote ethical franchising. Beyond her executive role, Alesia is an author, speaker, and champion for women in franchising. Her recent book, The Pink Tsunami: Women's Rise in Franchising, shines a light on the increasing influence women have in the franchising space—and the barriers they continue to overcome. Through platforms like Franchise Dictionary Magazine, which she also acquired and revitalized, Alesia is giving a voice to both the seasoned and the emerging leaders of the industry. What sets Visconti apart is her balance of business acumen and personal mission. She founded FranAid, the philanthropic arm of FranServe, to give back to causes that align with the company's values—including veteran support organizations, animal rescues, and cancer research. Her belief in doing well by doing good is woven into every layer of the company culture. In an era where entrepreneurship is being redefined, franchise ownership offers a tangible way to enter the business world with a blueprint. For those who don't want to reinvent the wheel—but do want to drive it forward—franchising presents a proven, supported model with limitless potential. Visconti and FranServe are leading the movement to make that model more visible, more viable, and more inclusive than ever before. Franchise ownership isn't just about products and services—it's about people. It's about helping individuals take control of their time, their income, and their impact. With leaders like Alesia Visconti driving innovation, advocacy, and opportunity, the future of franchising is not just strong—it's wide open. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Maria Grazia Tolfo"Caterina Visconti"Prima duchessa di MilanoEdizioni Meravigliwww.meravigliedizioni.itLa Saga dei Visconti si arricchisce di un nuovo, prezioso e appassionante capitolo!Caterina Visconti (1362-1404), pur essendo figlia di Bernabò, cugina e moglie di Gian Galeazzo e quindi prima duchessa di Milano, nonché reggente a nome dell'erede minorenne Giovanni Maria, è semplicemente sparita dalla nostra memoria. Quando scompare dal suo castello di Monza, non ha i dovuti funerali di Stato, ma nemmeno esequie coi suoi congiunti né una tomba. Cos'è successo di tanto grave da farla totalmente dimenticare?Con questo libro Maria Grazia Tolfo ha raccolto la sfida di rimettere Caterina come protagonista nel suo periodo storico, con un metodo non diverso da quello degli anatomo-patologi che ricostruiscono volti da poche ossa. Nel suo caso aveva un nome senza corpo, conosceva tutte le sue relazioni, il contesto sociale, le eredità genetiche e poteva basarsi su qualche miniatura. Ma soprattutto ha ascoltato i silenzi e annotato le importanti omissioni…Maria Grazia Tolfo (Milano, 1949), laureata in Psicologia dell'educazione degli adulti a Padova, specializzata in Storia dell'arte a Parma, nel 1980 è entrata nel Settore Educazione del Comune di Milano come docente di Educazione permanente. Dal 1989 ha fondato con Paolo Colussi un servizio per la diffusione presso un pubblico non specialistico delle ricerche universitarie e dei dati rinchiusi nei numerosi archivi relativi alla storia di Milano. Il suo ambito di ricerca spaziava dalla nascita di Milano all'età dei Visconti. Dopo la chiusura del Centro Educazione Permanente nel 2003, parte delle monografie dei corsi sono state salvate sul sito storiadimilano.it. Dal 2006 si è dedicata a ricerche di geografia storica europea, allo studio del vedico e dei culti preistorici dell'arco alpino.

Kick off a powerful new study through the Book of Ruth! 

Visconti has been seen in this season as the director of the searing, accusatory film of the interdependence of the industrial class with the Nazis in Germany, The Damned. But where did this European industrial class arise, when Europe was still saddled with an immense set of royalty that began with kings and queens and spread its fingers into every aspect of the lives in their respective nations or nation-states until almost 1920? How was the transfer of power and wealth from the royals to a burgeoning middle- and then upper-class of technocrats, industrialists and traders brought about? How did this unweighting of the royals and shift in power to common but now wealthy families buckle civil society under the strain? In the 1963 film, The Leopard, Visconti examines the shift in the sand in the quiet, almost dispassionate gaze of a Sicilian nobleman, who sees his royal station being slowly eroded by the forces of politics, but also by the forces of economics, as wealth passes from hands supposedly blessed by a lineage from God into the more clever, adept hands of a new line. Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

On Easter, we don't just celebrate an event—we celebrate a person. Jesus Christ is alive, and because He lives, your story doesn't have to end in doubt, fear, or regret. In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Ryan Visconti unpacks the moment that changed everything for “Doubting Thomas”—and how it can change everything for you, too. Your doubts don't disqualify you. In fact, they might be the very path God uses to lead you to a deep, unshakable faith. If you've been wrestling with whether God is real, whether He truly loves you, or whether He can heal the deepest wounds in your heart—this message is for YOU.

Let's talk about royalty—but not the kind you read about in tabloids. I'm talking about the kind that reigns in righteousness and power for eternity. God never wanted His people to be ruled by flawed human kings. But they begged: “Give us a king like the other nations!” And God said, “You're rejecting me as your King...but fine—don't say I didn't warn you.”Enter Saul—tall, impressive, charismatic… and tragically flawed. Disobedient. Prideful. A poster child for royalty without righteousness. He started strong, but ended his life on his own sword. Why? Because disobedience always destroys destiny. That's a word for some of you men—you can't lead well if you don't submit well.Then came David, the man after God's own heart. He was better. But he still fell. Adultery. Murder. A broken home. His life is a reminder that God uses flawed people—not because they're perfect, but because they trust Him. If you've messed up, there's still redemption in Jesus.

There's only one person who can bring you into the presence of God—and it's not a pastor, a priest, or a saint. It's JESUS. In this powerful message, we dive deep into the ancient role of the High Priest in Judaism and how it was all a shadow pointing to Jesus, our perfect and eternal High Priest.

There is incredible power in a simple invitation! Time and time again, we see how one invite to church can completely transform a life—entire families changed forever because someone took a step of faith and extended an invitation.So, what could happen if you stepped out and invited someone to church this week? Imagine the impact!This week, Pastor Ryan Visconti challenges us to go all-in on our new mission: Invite 1000 Friends. Let's be bold. Let's be intentional. Let's change lives.

Does God Promise You Wealth? The Truth About the Prosperity GospelIs the "prosperity gospel" really biblical? A lot of people are talking about it, but what does God's Word actually say? Does God promise health, wealth, and success to every believer? Can we really just “name it and claim it,” like some preach?In the final week of our Charismania series, Pastor Ryan Visconti breaks down the scriptures often used to support the prosperity gospel—and reveals the real truth behind these teachings. Don't miss this powerful message that will challenge what you've heard and help you stand on solid biblical truth!

So many Christians today are obsessed with demon possession, deliverance ministry, and the idea that evil spirits are controlling their daily lives. But is that actually true? What does the Bible really say about demons and their influence? Can a Christian even be possessed by a demon?We're tackling these questions head-on in this week's message as part of our Charismania series. You don't want to miss it!

durée : 00:03:38 - Le Regard culturel - par : François Angelier - En 1976, sort en salle, le 14ᵉ et dernier film de Luchino Visconti, "L'Innocent", un drame social sordide et vénéneux où se mêle, au sein de la haute société italienne, ravage du désir et cupidité. Studio Canal en publie une édition de référence.

On this episode, we're staying in the late sixties as we watch Luchino Visconti's The Damned (1969). Following our exploration rising authoritarianism in Costa-Gavras' Z (1969) and reactionary Brazilian politics in Glauber Rocha's Entranced Earth (1967), we're heading right into the Nazi den that is the von Essenbeck family in late 1930's Germany. A scathing critique of the German industrial elite's seduction by (and complicity in) the rise of Nazism, Visconti shows how a wealthy family's greed and moral corruption lead them to embrace fascism in order to maintain their social and economic status.  Watching the family's willful, strategic cruelty, we see how the wealthy can easily transition from aristocratic privilege to supporting authoritarian rule. It's quite an illustration of how capitalism and fascism intertwine. If it's been a while since you've seen it, The Damned will resonate deeply with a revisit.   On a lighter note, by watching some Visconti, Aaron finally understands how Isaac feels about Godard.

In this episode, my guest is the very wise and devoted tarot student and reader Cole of Rosie Cole Reads.   Cole and I explored the symbolism and significance of the Hermit card, exploring its connection to the upcoming year 2025 and The Magician's Table. We also touched on the evolution of tarot symbolism, the importance of trust in tarot readings, and the concept of reverence and devotion in the context of tarot. We discussed: the transformation of the Hermit's tool from an hourglass to a lantern, and its potential connection to the Visconti deck and the concept of time comparing and contrasting the Magician and Hermit cards  the Hermit's lantern as both a personal guide and a tool for sharing wisdom with others the idea of staying true to oneself while staying the course, and how this can be a form of stillness Cole shared her thoughts on the Round Table idea, comparing it to the Magician's Table and the Hermit's lantern, emphasizing the potential and possibility it represents the importance of trust in the process of tarot readings and the value of stepping away from the everyday to fully immerse oneself in the reading Cole's process for choosing a new deck a reading with Cole where I felt a lot of resistance but trusted Cole's trust in the cards, which led to a powerful and emotional experience +++ Decks mentioned: Mysteries of the Black Madonna Tarot, by Hettienne Grobler Website links: https://hergracesacredart.com and https://bookofmarysacredheart.blogspot.com IG: @mysterium_of_mary Lumina Tarot, by Inner Hue / Lauren Aletta (art by Tegan Swyny) Website: https://innerhue.com/ Deck is published mass market from Rockpool IG: @innerhue Tiger Tarot by Lori Field Artist Website: https://www.lori-field.com/about IG: @bunnyplanet1  Deck is currently out of print but the artist updates her IG often if extras become available.

A Virgo Sun and Gemini Rising, she finds Mercury fascinating and confounding in blissfully unequal measure. She attains her joy in constellating with her community, and aims to elevate and empower her tarot clients as a guide at their side, rather than to lead the way. Cole spent her 20s and early 30s pursuing a career in psychology as a family therapist specializing in adolescent counseling, and she rediscovered her love for tarot just before her first Saturn return. Over the last decade, she has embraced her role as a lifelong student and seeker, standing now at the crossroads of wisdom and mystery, knowing there are more trails to uncover. Perhaps you will show her a path you have found?  In the digital realm, Cole shares explorations centering on creative expression and tarot adventuring, and you can find her on Instagram and SubStack under Rosie Cole Reads (@RosieColeReads).

If you take a moment to search the internet, you'll quickly discover a vast and often conflicting range of opinions on the concept of generational curses. Some believe they are a powerful spiritual reality, while others dismiss them as mere superstition. But what does the Bible actually say about them? Are they real, and if so, are we destined to suffer because of the mistakes of those who came before us? Is there any hope for breaking free? In this week's sermon, Pastor Ryan dives deep into these difficult questions, guiding us through Scripture to uncover the truth and the hope found in God's Word. Don't miss this opportunity to gain clarity and find freedom from fear!

Have you ever heard stories about those 'crazy charismatics'?  In this new  "Charasmania" Series, Ps Ryan teaches us the, sometimes, difficult to understand reality of being 'a finished work in progress'.  We also explore some practical guidance on speeding up our sanctification with 6 simple steps!  Don't miss out on this powerful message, straight from God's word!

Every week, we come to church and sing songs before we hear the message. Why?  Why do we sing?  Why do we raise our hands?  What if “that's just not my thing”?  This weekend, we'll discuss what The Bible says about worship and why we participate in the spiritual discipline of musical worship every Sunday.
