If Nehemiah was expecting trouble, he probably assumed it would come from outside the walls. But in Nehemiah 5, the real crisis breaks out inside the community. The people doing the rebuilding begin to devour each other, and the mission starts bleeding from internal wounds. In this week's sermon, entitled “The Enemy Within,” Pastor Brian considers the danger of forgetting we belong to one another. We'll watch Nehemiah confront injustice, call God's people back to integrity, and learn how unity isn't something we assume, it's something we protect.

Are Irish SMEs Ready for AI? Insights from the Ground The conversation about AI and small business has moved on. It is no longer about whether Irish SMEs should pay attention, but about the level of AI adoption in Irish SMEs. Of course, many are already using these tools day to day. The more interesting question now is what is actually happening, and what is getting in the way. I spoke with four people who work directly with small businesses on digital adoption and AI: John O'Shanahan of Lean BPI, digital strategist and lecturer Aisling Hurley of TBF.ie, Eoin Costello of the Dargan Institute in Dun Laoghaire, and Sandra Reynolds, programme manager for digital supports at LEO Dublin City. AI Adoption, Most SMEs Are Using AI, But John O'Shanahan sees AI being used across many of the small businesses he works with. "People that are digital are generally using AI to some level. Most of them are using it to rewrite emails, rewrite documents and give me ideas." He compares it to how businesses use Excel. Most people use a fraction of what is possible, not because the tools are hard to access, but because the foundations underneath them are not ready. "To get advantage out of AI, you should really be putting your Digital in from the foundations. If you have good data in your business, you can use AI to analyse it. But if the data isn't structured, AI can't do anything with that." The Right Sequence Matters The order of things is important: understand your processes first, digitise properly, then bring AI in. Otherwise, as O'Shanahan puts it, you are digitising inefficiency. When businesses get the sequence right, the results can be significant. He points to "Profix, a Cork-based construction services firm, where careful digital improvement over a decade brought quotation turnaround from three days to ten hours, then to three hours. With their AI now integrated into the process, it takes around 1.5 hours with further reductions possible as their AI model is optimised." A quotation process that once consumed days of skilled staff time now runs in hours, freeing capacity that feeds directly back into the business. "Everyone agrees the best AI output is AI plus human. The human part needs to have domain knowledge." That point about domain knowledge is central to everything O'Shanahan says. Your expertise in your own field, he argues, will matter as much as your knowledge of the AI tool itself. The Strategic and Ethical Gaps Aisling Hurley works with rural SMEs and teaches digital strategy. She sees businesses picking up AI tools without thinking carefully about what they are taking on. "Leadership needs to set guardrails. AI is not just another productivity tool. It changes how value is created." Many firms are experimenting with Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT without a clear approach to governance, data security or longer-term strategy. For Hurley, the ethics of AI adoption are not an afterthought. They are part of the conversation from the start. "There's a difference between attending an AI workshop and embedding AI strategically in a business." Rural SMEs Face Additional Pressures In rural areas, the challenge is compounded. Connectivity constraints, limited access to local expertise and thinner professional networks create barriers that urban businesses do not face to the same degree. Hurley also raises the question of digital sovereignty, and it is worth taking seriously. European businesses, including Irish SMEs, are increasingly dependent on AI tools and cloud platforms owned and operated in the United States. That dependency has a political dimension that is becoming harder to ignore. The current US administration has already shown it is willing to cut off digital services to individuals on political grounds. For businesses that have built workflows and operations around these platforms, the question of what happens if access is restricted or withdrawn is one that very few have thought through. Pace of Change Is Underestimated ...

This week we ride the spirit of New York Fashion Week to discuss Eva Chen, whose career emblematizes the changing nature of fashion media in the past decade: from Condé Nast darling to Instagram mega-poster to VP of Fashion at Meta. Along with our guest Ashleigh Carter, we discuss Eva's unselfconscious approach to the shifting media landscape, the late-2010s fascination with tech workplace culture-as-content (#evachenpose, Tiny Conference Room, team workouts, etc.), and how the well-intentioned “democratization of Fashion” is unfortunately swagless. Plus, we explore our original New York Dreams and the material and spiritual Ls we've taken in pursuit of a feeling of glamour.Plus: My review of Wuthering Heights, Margaret Qualley-as-bombshell, and Addison Rae's impending baddie era.Ashleigh Carter is a writer, journalist, and content creator based in New York City.

Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock sit down with Steve Pereira, founder of Visible Flow Consulting, to talk about something most organizations get backwards: the obsession with efficiency at the expense of actual flow.Steve works with large companies to improve operational performance through value stream mapping and continuous delivery. But the conversations he keeps having aren't about cutting costs. They're about untethering capable people from the systems that are quietly holding them back.In this episode, the three dig into why high utilization is often the enemy of good work, how lean thinking applies to knowledge work without losing what makes knowledge work different, and why adding AI on top of a broken system just makes things break faster.If your organization feels like it should be doing more than it is, this one's worth your time. And if you want all 4 takeaways, don't miss the last few minutes of the episode.This week´s takeaways: Step back from the work to look at how the work works. Whether it's a value stream mapping session or a quiet moment of reflection, intentional distance helps you see not just whether the saw is dull, but whether you're sawing the right tree.High utilization is not efficiency. Running people and teams at full capacity removes the slack needed to respond, adapt, and make good decisions. Optimal is closer to 80 percent. The rest needs to be budgeted, not eliminated.Understand your system before adding new tools. Whether it's AI, automation, or the latest framework, bolting new capabilities onto a system you don't fully understand tends to make existing problems worse, not better. Map first. Then act.Extra Resources:

God's enemies work overtime to stop his Kingdom through ridicule, fear, and threat. Nehemiah's answer is simple and steady: pray, post a guard, and keep building. In other words, God's work requires both a trowel and a sword, constructive obedience in one hand and watchful resistance in the other. The danger for us is drifting into one ditch or the other: building without vigilance or fighting without building. Today we're talking about what it means to remember the Lord, protect what matters, and keep putting stone on stone until the wall goes up.Now, let's turn our attention to Pastor Brian for this week's sermon from Nehemiah, chapter 4, titled, “Sword and Trowel.”

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, Father James Martin joins us with his new memoir, Work in Progress: Confessions of a busboy, dishwasher, caddy, usher, factory worker, bank teller, corporate tool, and priest. Father Jim is a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, consultor to the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication, and host of The Spiritual Life podcast. His books include Learning to Pray, Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything. In this conversation filled with humility and humor, Father Jim reminisces about the summer jobs that prepared him for his calling to the priesthood.  Learn more about your ad choices.

God builds His kingdom through ordinary people doing assigned work with shared purpose, so no one's part is pointless and no one's presence is optional. In Nehemiah 3, you don't just see a wall going up, you see a people waking up, as names and neighborhoods line up shoulder to shoulder for the common good. It's a chapter that reminds us God doesn't only use the gifted and the visible, He uses the faithful and the available, right where they are.  After all, we know God's work moves forward when all of His people take their place.Now, let's turn our attention to Pastor Brian as he helps us “find our section of the wall” and lean into it with joy, in this week's sermon titled, “The Common Good.”

Life is complex, yet we're wired to simplify it. Faith challenges that instinct by inviting us to hold tension—between who we are, who we're becoming, and how God meets us in both.

As Budget 2026 unfolds, Monika frames it as a continuation budget - a work-in-progress focused less on headline reforms and more on keeping the economic machinery running smoothly. With pressure on the fiscal deficit after last year's tax relief and GST cuts, the big concern was whether the numbers would hold. Despite weak nominal growth and a low GDP deflator, higher corporate taxes, indirect taxes, and dividends have helped contain the fiscal deficit at 4.4%, with only a marginal dip projected next year. For markets, this signals fiscal discipline at a time of global uncertainty.Monika breaks down the key priorities shaping this budget - a sharp rise in defence spending, sustained capital expenditure, and a clear push to align India with strategic technologies such as semiconductors, rare earths, cloud infrastructure, and domestic IP creation. Running through the speech is a stated intent to simplify rules, ease compliance, and reduce friction between the state, businesses, and citizens, even as execution risks remain. On the personal finance front, there are no fresh income-tax changes, relief comes via lower TCS on overseas spending, and clarity emerges on sovereign gold bond taxation, while higher STT on derivatives sends a strong signal against excessive speculation.In listener questions, the focus turns to what this budget really means for everyday investors - how changes to SGB taxation affect gold allocations, why the STT hike matters mainly for F&O traders and not long-term investors, and why market reactions immediately after the budget may not reflect India's underlying growth story. The takeaway remains consistent: budgets will come and go, markets will react and recover, but maintaining the right asset allocation matters far more than chasing short-term noise.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Budget 2026 as a Work-in-Progress Framework(00:00 – 00:00) Fiscal Deficit, Defence Spending and Growth Priorities(00:00 – 00:00) Sovereign Gold Bonds and Capital Gains Tax Changes(00:00 – 00:00) TCS Relief and Easier Property Transactions(00:00 – 00:00) STT Hike, Market Reaction and What Investors Should DoIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠

Something To Think About Series #322 Thought of the day from Venerable Robina Courtin

In this episode, I talk with Father James Martin about his new memoir Work in Progress and the ways our ordinary jobs shape who we become. We explore summer work, vocation, grief, perseverance, and how faith is formed not just in churches, but in kitchens, factories, offices, and everyday life. Jim reflects on loss, discernment, and the slow work of becoming human, and together we talk about where God shows up in suffering, in work we enjoy, and in work we endure. This conversation is an invitation to look back on your own story, pay attention to the unfinished edges, and notice how grace has been present all along.The Rev. James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, author and editor at large at America, the national Catholic magazine. Martin was born in Plymouth Meeting, PA. He attended Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School. He received his Bachelor's Degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. He worked in corporate finance for General Electric for six years before leaving and joining the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits). Martin was novitiate in Boston where he worked with seriously ill at a hospital in Cambridge. He also worked with hospice patients at the Missionaries of Charity in Kingston, Jamaica and at a school for poor boys, Nativity Mission School, in New York City. He was ordained a Catholic priest in June 1999 in Chestnut Hill, Ma. On Nov. 1, 2009, he pronounced his final vows as a "fully professed" Jesuit in New York City. Martin is the author of several books, including the New York Times bestseller, "Jesus: A Pilgrimage".Fr. Martin's Book:Work in ProgressFr.

Construction sites can be messy. Building something often involves creating disarray. A work in progress is inherently chaotic, making it difficult to distinguish whether something is being built or torn down. The answer is: it can be both! It is indeed a work in progress. Things may appear disorganized, but God is not finished yet. Calvary, for example, was not a beautiful sight, but it marked a beginning rather than an end. Each of us is a work in progress. From those newly converted to those who have embraced their faith for a lifetime, we are all works that are not yet complete. It’s perfectly okay to be a work in progress; we all need God in our lives. The enemy will try to convince you that you are not enough and will criticize your new beginnings. So, lay that first stone and continue working on it. Embrace being a work in progress, no matter how messy the process may seem. Small beginnings can lead to great outcomes, so don’t allow the enemy to make you feel ashamed of your initial steps. Opposition will arise during your building journey. The devil will attempt to persuade you that your situation cannot be fixed, claiming that the project will never be completed. He will try to intimidate you when you are near completion. The enemy will attack and attempt to undermine you at every stage of your work. He will seek to shame you in any way possible. Remember, God is still working on you, and the process isn’t over until He says it is done. Repentance is not the end; it is just part of the journey.

Renewal doesn't begin with rebuilding. It begins with honesty.In Nehemiah 2:11–20, Nehemiah arrives in Jerusalem and does something unexpected. He doesn't GIVE a speech. He doesn't announce a plan. In the middle of the night, he quietly surveys the ruins. His actions remind us of something very important: before anything can be restored, God's people must be willing to face what is broken and trust Him with what comes next.In this week's sermon, entitled "Searching the Shadows," Pastor Brian reminds us that renewal begins when we stop pretending, take an honest look at the ruins, and place our confidence not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of God.

January 25th Sermon

Nehemiah 1 ends with prayer.Nehemiah 2 begins with movement.After months on his knees, Nehemiah now stands before the king. His grief is visible, his fear is real, and the risk is enormous. Yet this moment reveals what prayer has been preparing all along. Prayer was never the destination. It was the pathway. In this week's message, Pastor Brian reminds us that genuine prayer doesn't end with an “amen.” It steps forward in obedience, trusting that the God who hears us in private is already at work in public.Now, let's turn our attention to this week's sermon, entitled “Prayer Walks” from Nehemiah chapter 2, verses 1 through 10

I have said for years that we are all a work in progress, yet over the break I realised I had not stopped to ask how that really lands with you. In this episode I unpack a very real dilemma about the tension I feel holding credibility,and expertise whilst still learning. I share why I resist the label of expert, why authority feels different, and how that distinction has shifted my thinking in a profound way. This is not about pretending we know it all or polishing our certainty until it shines. It is about learning openly, staying relevant, and trusting that credibility grows through honesty rather than performance. If you have ever wondered whether admitting you are still learning weakens your position, this conversation is for you. We introverts do not need to be louder or shinier to be trusted, just real, useful, and human. Key points Expert versus authority Credibility and learning Being visibly unfinished

In Nehemiah chapter 1, verses 8 through 11, we hear a prayer that knows where it's going. After months of grief and confession, Nehemiah begins to pray with purpose, anchoring his requests in God's promises and asking boldly for what is needed. This week, Pastor Brian explores how intentional, Scripture-shaped prayer helps us move from vague spiritual longing to clear, faithful dependence on God, and offers practical encouragement for praying with direction in our everyday lives.Let's turn our attention to this week's sermon, “Building the Builder, Part 3” from Nehemiah chapter 1.
