But wait… there are absolutely zero ground delays today!

Tony Alamo with Tony Alamo World Wide Ministries Scripture, Salvation, and the Battle Against Spiritual Darkness Ep220 How To Have Gods Life Living In You Part 118 Program 220 Opens With Prayer, Music, and Ministry Purpose In this episode of Tony Alamo, World Pastor Tony Alamo introduces Program 220, part 118 of How to Have God's Life Living in You. He explains that listeners can request a free CD or audiotape of the message, while the choir and orchestra perform “Yes, Jesus Loves Me” in the background. Tony references the ministry's Los Angeles church and then opens in prayer, asking God to anoint the broadcast, pour out the Holy Spirit, save souls, strengthen the church, and help people understand the difference between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Letters From Zambia, the Solomon Islands, and Malawi The first section features listener and ministry letters read by Sharon. A letter from Zambia thanks Tony for literature that the writer says is enlightening people and being distributed in streets, towns, suburbs, schools, and offices. A letter from the Solomon Islands reports that fifteen families have repented and asks for Bibles and clothing for newly converted families. A letter from Malawi praises Tony's gospel literature, requests more materials, and asks for help obtaining a megaphone. Tony responds by encouraging the distribution of tapes, literature, Bibles, and practical assistance where possible. The Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Darkness Tony then begins the main sermon by contrasting the kingdom of heaven with the kingdom of darkness. He teaches that the Lord continues His incarnation through believers who walk in light, and that Christians are called to let God's light shine through them. In his doctrinal framing, darkness represents ignorance, deception, and spiritual blindness, while light represents the Word of God, truth, knowledge, Spirit, and life. He argues that the only way people can be drawn out of darkness is through mature children of light preaching the Word of God. Studying the Bible as the Source of Light A central teaching in the episode is that believers must study the Bible directly rather than relying only on preachers or teachers. Tony says the light of God is the knowledge of God, and that this knowledge is found in scripture. He urges listeners to compare every sermon or teaching against the Bible, saying that the Word of God is the only truth available on this side of eternity. He also strongly criticizes religions and institutions he believes reject or diminish the Word, presenting these criticisms as part of his attributed religious commentary. Worldly Knowledge Versus Spiritual Knowledge Tony contrasts worldly education and achievement with what he calls the knowledge of light. He says people may hold degrees, earn money, build careers, or appear intelligent in the kingdom of darkness, but still lack the knowledge needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. He uses his own background in the entertainment industry as an example, saying that before he was saved, he could help make people successful in worldly terms but could not lead them into eternal life. After becoming born again, he says he realized that true wisdom and power are found only in Jesus, the Word of God. End-Times Warnings, Prophecy, and Religious Commentary The sermon includes extended end-times warnings involving Israel, the Middle East, a false Messiah, 2 Thessalonians, the Vatican, political leaders, and one-world government claims. Tony frames global events as a theatrical deception that could cause people to mistake Satan for God if they do not know the depth of the Word. The transcript preserves these accusations and public-figure claims as Tony's statements, not independently verified facts. He uses this section to urge listeners to reject spiritual ignorance, read the Bible, and come into what he calls the light, regardless of what they have done in darkness. Heavenly Citizenship, Salvation Prayer, and Program Ordering Near the end, Tony teaches that believers live on Earth but have citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. He compares the blood of Jesus on the soul to a passport into God's kingdom, warning that continuing in sin revokes that spiritual standing in his theological view. He calls listeners to live as kingdom-of-heaven people, surrender selfishness, receive God's life within them, and be born again into the kingdom of light. The episode closes with a salvation prayer, followed by Sharon giving the ministry website, mailing address, phone number, and fax number for ordering Program 220, before Tony previews Program 221.

Medical missionaries are often called upon to provide care that is beyond the scope of their training and previous experience. This interactive case presentation looks at the realities of clinical decision-making in a critically ill snakebitten patient, and offers suggestions on how to navigate similar challenging situations.

Baroness Dambisa Moyo is a global economist, author, board member, and investor who sits at the intersection of public policy, corporate governance, and capital allocation. Dambisa serves in the U.K. House of Lords, sits on the boards of Chevron, Starbucks, Condé Nast, and Oxford University's investment committee, is Chair of the Economic Club of New York, and oversees Altered Trajectory alongside her husband, Jared Smith, the family office formed after his sale of Qualtrics in 2018. Our conversation traces Dambisa's journey from growing up in Zambia to becoming a leading voice on global economic development and governance. We discuss how her experiences across more than 80 countries and on the boards of four global companies shaped her judgment on economic growth, governance, and decision-making. We then turn to the application of those lessons at Altered Trajectory, including the evolution away from an endowment-style portfolio, balancing Dambisa's macro convictions with Jared's moonshot investing style, and positioning for long-term themes. Along the way, we discuss the challenge of investing through structural change while avoiding ideological thinking. Any leader should see for themselves the benefits of elite coaching.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions. As a reminder you can send your questions to SermonQuestions@ubcbeavercreek.com and we will see you next week.

Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O'Brien explains how the company has expanded its near-surface copper mineralization at the Dumbwa basement dome-hosted sulfide copper deposit in Zambia's Domes region to 6.7 km strike within an 11.5 km phase-one program and a broader 20 km geochemical target. O'Brien explains the deposit's close geological analogy to Barrick's nearby Lumwana deposit, outlines a systematic “drill like a major” fence-drilling method with 50 m hole spacing and 100–200 m fence spacing enabled by low Zambian drill costs, and says the approach is designed to define edges, grade variability, and stacked, relatively flat mineralized lenses from surface to ~200 m depth. He discusses expectations for a first MRE in the fall, continued drill result releases, planned magnetics and metallurgical testing, reasons for share-price weakness despite operational progress, and ongoing but undisclosed monetization talks for the Kazhiba oxide resource. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Dumbwa Discovery Update 01:15 Basement Dome Copper Explained 04:10 Majors-Style Drill Strategy 11:16 Data Modeling And MRE 12:33 Deposit Scale & Geometry 14:08 Share Price Disconnect 19:19 Kazhiba Oxide Monetization 20:32 Upcoming Catalysts Roadmap https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF Press release discussed: https://midnightsunmining.com/2026/midnight-sun-continues-rapid-strike-expansion-at-dumbwa-now-6-7-kilometres-of-near-surface-copper-mineralization/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Sponsor Midnight Sun Mining pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

Welcome to Episode 137 of The Journey Is The Reward!On this episode, Brian and Micah are back in the studio and catching up with everyone's favorite culinary traveler, Chef Kathy.Before bringing the Chef into the cabin, Micah gives us an honest status update on his Chase Sapphire Reserve card now that he's hit the six-month mark. With the premium card market getting more expensive by the day, Micah breaks down exactly which features, lounge perks, and travel credits he's used to justify that hefty annual fee.With zero ground delays on the schedule, no listener mail, and a rare night off from Listener Lu, the guys take advantage of the completely clear skies and head straight into the main itinerary.Chef Kathy recently joined Momma Coleman and Brian's brother Shawn on the adventure of a lifetime to Ireland. Because you absolutely cannot have Momma Coleman flying in the back of the bus, Brian worked his frequent flyer magic to upgrade the family into United Polaris business class.While exploring the spectacular Irish countryside, Chef Kathy didn't just sightsee—she also embedded herself in a local culinary school to sharpen her professional skills. And despite some chaotic driving logistics on the local roads, the crew made it back to Dublin in time to clear US Preclearance and immigration without a hitch.The adventure didn't stop across the pond. Upon returning to the US, the Chef met right back up with the family to celebrate Momma Coleman's legendary 91st birthday bash in Toms River, New Jersey. From there, she jetted out to Los Angeles to link up with Brian for an immediate road trip out to Las Vegas.In the City of Blinding Lights, Brian and Chef Kathy took over The Sphere, catching the mind-bending production of The Wizard of Oz before returning to the venue for a high-energy No Doubt concert. Kathy breaks down the incredible visuals of the venue and contrasts the show with the venue's original residents, U2, for two completely different premium entertainment experiences.Up next for the Chef? A solo expedition to Iceland—this time, safely out of range of the Coleman clan!So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. Because around here, the journey is the reward.As always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org.

Krænkende, nedladende og øv med øv på. Det er nogle af de reaktioner, som dette års plakat til Copenhagen Jazz Festival har fået med sig på vejen. Plakaten forestiller en sort musiker ved tangenterne. Figuren har store gule øjne, en bred, rød mund og et viltert hår. Den er skabt af billedkunstner Jack Kabangu, som er født i Zambia, og han er inspireret af en superhelteserie med en zulufigur, en slags supermand, fra sin barndom, kan man læse på festivalens hjemmeside.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Katherine Jaffe, director of nursing for Med Surg (3NS) at Virtua Marlton Hospital, brings a blend of compassion, resilience, and leadership to her role. Prior to her career in healthcare, Katherine joined the United States Peace Corps, where she spent two years living in a rural village in Zambia. There, she led literacy programs, supported HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, and empowered women through business education and a sewing initiative. The biggest lesson she learned is the power of connection. Katherine shared, "No matter what culture you're from or where you're from, people come first and you can make connections with anybody. Even though the community members did not have a lot materially, they connected and found joy and happiness in each other."   This lesson has guided Katherine throughout her nursing career at Virtua. From charge nurse to now nurse director, she has built engaged and compassionate teams. Katherine embodies Virtua's Culture of WE—always seeing the best in others and leading with heart.

Welcome to episode 136 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Micah and Brian are catching up with Julian Kheel from Points Path—one of their absolute favorite browser extensions (even if Brian still wants to call it an "application").Before the deep dive into point values, Brian is checking his gear for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh!  If you're heading to the show this summer, let Brian know so you can connect in person.And because it wouldn't be an complete episode without her, we dive back into the mailbag to answer yet another question from our most frequent of flyers, Listener Lu.The guys wanted to have Julian back on the show because Points Path has been busy adding some serious "thrust" to its feature set. If you're tired of guessing if you're getting a good deal, you'll want to hear about:Hotel Point Values: You can now see the real-world value of your points on hotel stays right in your browser.Smart Alerts: Points Path is now acting like your personal air traffic controller, monitoring price drops on flights you've booked—or are even just considering—so you can rebook and save without the manual labor.To wrap things up, the guys put Julian in the hot seat. They ask what he would do with a 100,000-point windfall, and his strategy might just surprise you. Plus, Julian gets honest about his own biggest "points turbulence"—the mistakes and regrets he's had while navigating the world of miles.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories.

The latest public version of ChatGPT can be made to generate sexualised images or depict scenes of graphic violence with a simple prompt, researchers have told the BBC. British AI security startup Mindgard figured out how to make ChatGPT create graphic pictures by slightly altering a widely-shared instruction, or prompt, which was originally designed to produce humorous results. To find out more, Anita Rani speaks to Technology correspondent Chris Vallance and Mindgard's Peter Garraghan. A spokesperson for Open AI said: "We take these reports seriously. After investigating this trend, we've introduced additional safeguards against this type of prompt. Our safety systems are designed to block potentially harmful images that are uploaded to ChatGPT and we analyse whether the AI generated image violates our policies before we show the image to the user. We also combine automated systems and human review to identify and block harmful material.”Jon Snow, the lead presenter of Channel 4 News for 32 years, has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease. During his career, he reported on stories including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama's inauguration, receiving numerous awards including the BAFTA Fellowship in 2015. In a new Channel 4 documentary, made in conjunction with the Alzheimer's Society, Jon Snow: A Last Big Story, he is seen uncovering an environmental disaster in Zambia. In her first broadcast interview since the diagnosis was announced, Jon's wife, Dr Precious Lunga, joins Anita to talk about how they are navigating life now. Testing the microbiome of your vagina is increasing in popularity, with direct-to-consumer companies offering at-home tests and claiming that this information is critical to women's health. Anita speaks with Dame Lesley Regan, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Imperial College London, and Dr Caroline Mitchell, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School, to discuss what we know about the vaginal microbiome and the recent surge in private testing. New novel Mrs Dickens by Emily Howes, tells the imagined story of Kate Hogarth, wife of the writer and journalist Charles Dickens. She is much loved at first, but as Charles finds fame and the family rise through the ranks of Victorian society, Charles's attitude towards Kate changes and she is devastated. Emily talks to Anita about how she pieced together and embellished the invisible life of Kate, a woman who bore Charles 10 children during a 22-year marriage and had an unparalleled view of one of the world's greatest writers.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

Zapatero utilizó a Luis Arroyo para colocarnos una mentira y ahora pretendemos que nos creamos la nueva versión que ha difundido, esta vez, a través de uno de los minaretes de la televisión oficial, que yo… ya lo adelanto, no me creo… porque encaja demasiado bien en su estrategia procesal. Las joyas las metió en España un rey saudí, o sea que Zapatero no es un contrabandista, en 2007, con lo que puede haber prescrito y además el saudí murió en 2015, con lo que nunca podrá negarlo. Cómo será de grave la cosa… cómo será de grave… para que se considere que la versión más favorecedora de lo de la joyas sea que el rey de Arabia Saudí, Abdalá bin Abdulaziz, le hiciera diversos regalos a Zapatero y este declarara y entregara al Estado por ejemplo un reloj y sin embargara ocultara y se quedara joyas por valor de 1.300.000 euros y todo esto en 2007… en los albores de una crisis que trajo enorme sufrimiento a los españoles y que Zapatero se negó a ver. Cómo iba a ver la crisis, si estaba deslumbrado por las esmeraldas de Zambia….¿Esta es de verdad la versión más favorecedora de la historia? Madre mía, siento vértigo de pensar en cuál será la verdadera.

The Orlando Pride are still off for a couple of weeks, but the soccer rarely stops. We're back to touch on the United States Women's National Team's trip to Brazil to face three Pride players and their Brazilian teammates. It was kind of an ugly pair of games for the USWNT, which struggled to score goals and connect in the final third. The second of those two matches was a wild affair that devolved into a parade of red cards near the end. We touch on the reports out of Zambia on Barbra Banda's injury, which seems to be more promising than expected when she went down with a knock against Bay FC. We'll have to wait to see when she can return, but if she's expected to play in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, that is a good sign.This week's mailbagbox asked a couple of questions about Banda.

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, Generation Z Group talks about technology, social media, personal phone use, when kids should access social media, AI, and concerns about all the above. Bios of our Gen-Z contributors: Brandon AllonBrandon Allon has been a photographer for seven years, four of which have been with Seacoast. A third-generation photographer, he has also traveled to five countries outside the United States. Before photography, Brandon spent ten years in music — an experience that took him all the way to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Outside of his creative pursuits, he enjoys running and table tennis.Laela GriffinLaela Griffin is a recent high school graduate living in a small mountain town in North Carolina. She loves the outdoors, serving others, and traveling, and plans to attend Appalachian State University next year to major in Business. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends. Laela is so passionate about root beer that she once crashed her car over it.Hayes HerlongHayes Herlong is a 24-year-old from Charleston with a love for Jesus, surfing, adventure, and her one-eyed cat. She is currently pursuing ministry through the Residency Program at Seacoast Church, where she serves in youth ministry and is passionate about helping middle and high school students know Jesus and grow in their faith — a community she has called home for many years.Hayes also has a deep heart for global missions, having served internationally in Haiti, Togo, and Zambia, as well as stateside in Orlando and New York City. She loves learning about new cultures, meeting new people, and stepping into experiences that stretch her faith. That adventurous spirit once led her to jump and swing off the 420-foot bridge at Victoria Falls. Whether serving students, traveling the world, or trying something completely new, Hayes hopes her love for the Lord, people, and adventure will continue leading her to places where she can share the Gospel — and maybe keep her mom just a little nervous along the way.Abel WaltersAbel Walters is an 18-year-old rising senior at Palmetto Christian Academy and a recent graduate of 412 Leadership at Seacoast, where he now serves primarily on the prayer team and the teaching team in Custom. He has a passion for mission and ministry that he feels God has placed on his heart. Abel has played basketball all four years of high school, including travel ball, and also loves golf.

De la vitrina de regalos que Miguel Sebastián hizo instalar en su ministerio me habló John Müller el viernes en la Brújula. Claro, Sebastián era consciente de que los regalos que le hacían en sus viajes oficiales pertenecían al Estado español. Me parecía que lo suyo era de una ejemplaridad muy comprometedora para aquellos ministros que se atrevieran a quedarse con las dádivas. Este fin de semana me sorprendió que lo contara en un artículo en eldiario.es.. Te juro de verdad que se trataba de una artículo que denunciaba la perfidia de Zapatero. Un artículo a la contra, artículo crítico. Pues parece que no… que quería defenderlo… ¿y entonces por qué cuenta que él tuvo la convicción moral de que no había que quedarse los regalos?Un investigado está definitivamente acabado cuando quienes incluso quieres aliviar su situación no hacen más que agravarla. Con defensores como Sebastián, Zapatero debería confiar ante en la clemencia que en la Justicia. Pero además, ¿quién dice que esas joyas proceden de regalos en viajes oficiales?Lo digo porque aún si ahora se pretenden justificar así las esmeraldas de Zambia, habrá que recordar que lo primero que se nos dijo fue una mentira: que apenas costaba el conjunto 30mil euros y era la herencia de Sonsoles. Mintió, con lo cual sabia que su origen era ilícito. Que ahora no finjan que todo es perfectamente natural.

This week on The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie Foster, Laurie Horne, and Chris take a playful trip through the animal kingdom with a trivia-style episode all about the names for male and female animals. Some are familiar — like a buck and doe, bull and cow, or stallion and mare — while others are far less obvious, including cob and pen for swans, jack and jill for opossums, and even cock and hen for lobsters. Along the way, the conversation wanders in true Backyard Naturalists fashion, from international listeners in places like Vietnam, Iraq, Uzbekistan, and Zambia to jellyfish at the Tampa aquarium, a "passel of possums," and whether anyone could ever win a Jeopardy category devoted entirely to Young Sheldon, Tombstone, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? It's a lighthearted, funny, and surprisingly educational episode that proves nature vocabulary can be just as wild as the animals themselves. In this episode, you'll hear about: Animal-name trivia for ants, bears, coyotes, deer, donkeys, elephants, foxes, goats, geese, horses, jellyfish, lobsters, mallards, opossums, pigs, seahorses, squirrels, swans, tigers, and zebras The difference between familiar terms like boar and sow, drake and hen, and billy and nanny Why some animals share naming patterns across species A few surprising terms, including vixen, cob, pen, sea mare, and sea stallion A fun detour into group names, including a passel of possums The podcast's growing international audience and a warm invitation to visit Backyard Birds in Matthews, North Carolina Whether you already know your ganders from your geese or you're just here for the laughs, this episode is a fun reminder that the natural world is full of curious details hiding in plain sight.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 12th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Numbers 11:14: ”I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.” Then we go to the New Testament to 2 Corinthians 12:9: ”And He said to me,“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” So when we are weak then we are strong. I think you have heard me say this many times before, God gives us strength for the strain. Are you going through a very tough time at the moment? Are you saying to yourself: ”There's no way out for me”; “I am done, I can't do it anymore, I'm tired, I'm weary”; ”I have had a disaster in my business”; ”My marriage is not working well”; “My children are sick”; “There is no hope for me.”? Oh yes, there is! Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.I remember like yesterday - it was many, many years ago, I left my young wife and my young children, and I took a huge 20-ton Mercedes-Benz truck and trailer, with a team of men, and we went up into Zambia to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'll never forget it. We arrived at the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. In those days, there was no bridge over the Zambezi as there is today. You had to wait with a line of trucks ahead of you for a pontoon to take you across this huge river. I remember sitting on the banks of that river and feeling very homesick, and looking across the river to Zambia and thinking about the trip I had organised to take, from the bottom of Zambia right through to the very top, with my dear friend, Peter Motale, who was waiting for me on the other side. He was my chief interpreter and one of my spiritual sons, and I remember sitting there saying, ”Lord, this is too much. The burden is too heavy, the responsibility.” For six weeks, we will be preaching the Gospel, day and night, looking for diesel to fill that truck to keep it going, meeting up with different groups of people in rural areas where we had not been before, and yet the Lord said, ”I will give you strength for the strain. My grace is sufficient for you.”What a promise from God! Today, cast your cares upon Him and let Him direct your paths, and you will get through, and you will accomplish it, and you will give Him all the glory.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

What does a safari look like when the guide isn't a man? Award-winning writer and editor Ellen Carpenter went to Botswana's Okavango Delta to find out. (To learn more, read her Afar story about the experience.) Meet this week's guests Ellen Carpenter is a New York–based culture and travel journalist. She served as editor in chief of Hemispheres, United's inflight magazine, for seven years, and before that was an editor at Rhapsody, Nylon, Spin, and Rolling Stone. Baemule "Bae" Siethuka, 32, grew up in Tutume in northeastern Botswana and was working in HR when she saw African Bush Camps' guiding program posted on Facebook. She became the program's first graduate in 2025 and is now a junior guide at Atzaró Okavango. Tshidi Phalaagae, 28, is a trainee guide from Gaborone, Botswana's capital — a true city girl who came to the program with, in her words, "zero knowledge of nature." At the time of Ellen's visit, she was just a few weeks shy of graduating. Jessica Motshegwa, 26, is a trainee guide from Mmadinare, Botswana, who joined the program in 2025. She once tried to enlist in the Botswana army. A Facebook link from her cousin changed her path. In this episode you'll learn Why more than 90 percent of African safari guides are male — and what one company is doing about it How African Bush Camp(ABC)'s three-year female guiding program works, from theory exams to practical training to first solo drives What it was like for Bae, ABC's first female guide, to complete her training while pregnant — and earn her license when her son was six months old Why Dutch Kasale, ABC's head guide and mentor, says training women from the city is often easier than training men who grew up in the bush What makes a female guide's approach on the game drive feel different The moment Bae manifests a leopard into view About African Bush Camps ABC was founded in 2006 by Beks Ndlovu, one of a handful of Black Africans to own a safari company. He launched the female guiding program in late 2021 with an ambitious goal: 50 percent female guides across all 18 camps in Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia by 2030. There are currently 12 women in the program — eight trainees and four qualified guides.

Dan Kobayashi spent 16 years working as a U.S. diplomat focused on African issues, both at posts in Lesotho, Zambia, and Malawi, among others, and at the State Department's intelligence bureau in Washington, D.C. He had a close-up view of how U.S.-Africa policy has evolved over the years, particularly as it relates to China's expanding presence on the continent. Today, Dan is out of government and works as a geopolitical risk consultant in Geneva, where he also writes for his new Expatriach Substack. He joins Eric, Cobus, and Géraud to share an insider's perspective on the current state of U.S. policy towards Africa and why the notion that Washington is competing with Beijing for influence in the region is outdated.

This episode follows a wide-ranging panel convened at Stanford's King Center on Global Development, featuring Gyude Moore, as well as Gates Foundation CEO Mark Suzman, former USAID Administrator and Ambassador Mark Green, and Chair and Founder of the Liquidity and Sustainability Facility Vera Songwe - The future of global development: Approaches and partnerships for a new reality.Bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa will fall by between 16% and 28% this year, according to the IMF. In past downturns, multilateral and humanitarian funding tended to fill the gap when bilateral aid dropped. This time those channels are shrinking too.Gyude Moore, who ran the Liberian President's Delivery Unit under Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, thinks the contraction is structural rather than a passing effect of the Trump administration, and that recipient countries should stop expecting the old arrangement to return. He wants economic growth put at the centre of development rather than treated as one programme among several. Instead of letting donors decide which programmes are run, he says, countries should run a growth diagnostic: a way of identifying the two or three constraints doing most to hold an economy back. Governments can then reorganise their budgets around removing those constraints, and use the diagnostic to decide which offers of aid to take and which to turn down. Moore calls this “sovereignty through analytics”. Aid was meant to be temporary, he argues, and the job now is to quickly reach the point of not needing it.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and W. Gyude Moore. 2026. "The end of aid dependency.” VoxDev Talks (podcast). Assign this as extra listening. The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestW. Gyude Moore is a distinguished fellow at the Energy for Growth Hub and a non-resident fellow at the Center for Global Development. He was Liberia's minister of public works from December 2014 to January 2018, and before that deputy chief of staff to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and head of the President's Delivery Unit, which oversaw more than $1 billion of road, power and port projects in a country rebuilding after civil war. He also lectures at the University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy. His work covers African infrastructure, energy, industrial policy and development finance.Cited in this episodeThe scale of the cuts. The IMF's October 2025 Regional Economic Outlook for sub-Saharan Africa, using OECD figures, projects bilateral aid to the region falling by 16% to 28% in 2025, with more cuts likely. Moore says the cuts to multilateral and humanitarian funding run higher again, and that the most aid-dependent countries have been hit hardest, through weaker health, education and nutrition systems.Growth diagnostics. A way of finding the constraints that matter most: the one or two that, once removed, allow others to ease. Moore likens it to a doctor running tests before prescribing. The method is associated with the Growth Lab at Harvard. He suggests governments hire an independent party to run the analysis, so the findings cannot be dismissed as political.The Millennium Challenge Corporation. A US agency that runs what it calls a constraints analysis, then funds the removal of the constraint it finds. Moore offers it as an existing model for diagnostic-led aid, while noting that it has critics.Sovereignty through analytics. Moore's phrase for using a credible diagnostic to set the terms with donors. A government can say what it is trying to do, ask for help where it needs it, and decline what does not fit. He points to Ghana, Zambia and Zimbabwe rejecting or walking away from US health agreements under the America First Global Health Strategy as evidence that recipient governments now have that leverage and are willing to use it.The Development Alliance. Liberia's attempt, around 2014 and 2015, to bring every donor and NGO into one room to map who was doing what, spot duplication and find the sectors nobody was covering. Moore's assessment: useful, but voluntary, not written into law, and not built around a single diagnostic. His conclusion is that such a framework should be put on a legal footing.Five-year plans. Moore, who teaches in China each autumn, points to the discipline that fixed planning periods impose, and argues that legislation can do a similar job of holding a development strategy steady across changes of government.Delivery units. Small teams set up to push complex projects through where the wider bureaucracy cannot. Moore ran one in the Liberian presidency and calls them islands of competence; he offers them as a way around weak implementation.The European politics of aid. Moore's reason for thinking the window may close. Nativist parties are gaining ground across Europe, from the AfD to Reform UK to the PVV in the Netherlands, and an ageing population will pull more public money homeward. Countries that do not adjust, he warns, may find the external funding gone.

In this episode of The Anchor Podcast, Amir Tsarfati sits down with Dr. Zachias Moonde Muulu, a pediatric heart surgeon from Zambia whose journey through Israel's humanitarian organization, Save a Child's Heart, is transforming lives across continents. Dr. Muulu shares how specialized training in Israel is equipping him to bring life-saving cardiac care to children in Africa and why he chose to remain in Israel and serve during one of the nation's most challenging times.Together, they explore the power of compassion, faith, and medical excellence as they discuss the mission of repairing the world–one child's heart at a time.

Epilepsy is a brain condition that causes repeated episodes of sudden, brief changes in the brain's electrical activity causing seizures or convulsions. It's thought 50-million people have the condition, which can't be cured. The right treatment can alleviate symptoms but diagnosis and treatment is limited in many countries.Consultant neurologist Sofia Eriksson is from Sweden and works in the UK at University College London Hospital where she used to be the hospital's clinical lead for epilepsy. She's president elect of the British Association of Neurologists. Sofia says it's important more people talk openly about the condition to help stop people who have it feeling so isolated.Betty Barbara Nsachilwa had her first seizure when she was 13 years old. It took 18 months to find the right medication that has kept her seizures under control since. She says she's been lucky to have the support of her family and colleagues but says many others in Zambia face discrimination and stigma. Betty Barbara co-founded the Epilepsy Association of Zambia in 2001 to increase awareness and education about the condition and support others living with epilepsy.(Image: (L) Betty Barbara Nsachilwa, courtesy Betty Barbara Nsachilwa.

Welcome to episode 135 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Micah and Brian are back together to recap an incredible milestone celebration—Momma Coleman's spectacular 91st birthday party—along with a fantastic combined aviation meetup in Toms River, New Jersey.Because the airspace is completely packed, the guys are temporarily skipping the listener feedback segment. However, they did hear from their favorite frequent flyer, Listener Lu. Micah thinks she might be stuck in a bit of a holding pattern, though, because her question sounded suspiciously similar to a previous one!Before we get into the weekend's festivities, a quick reminder that Brian is packing his bags for EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI this summer. If you are planning to head out to the big event, please drop him a line—he would love to connect with listeners face-to-face.To get out east for Momma Coleman's big celebration, Brian suffered the ultimate frequent flyer tragedy: his United Airlines PlusPoints upgrades failed to clear, leaving him stuck in the back of the bus. But a little economy-class turbulence was a small price to pay to celebrate with Mom, family and friends.The trip got even better on Sunday with a combined aviation meetup. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends and welcome some new faces to the group. The travel and aviation community truly is full of the best people.And finally, while the catering on the plane and the spread in the United Club left a lot to be desired, Brian found culinary redemption on the ground with a classic New Jersey pork roll sandwich… NOT Taylor Ham!So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories.

The ACCC Global eXchange series is committed to highlighting cross-regional collaborations that advance cancer care delivery and workforce development nationwide. In this episode of CANCER BUZZ, Dr. Michael Cavnar discusses his humanitarian efforts in Zambia and why volunteering in this capacity is crucial and meaningful for US oncology providers. "The more you're around people that are different than you, the more different perspectives you see. It creates a more open mind and a better world, because people understand each other better." – Michael Cavnar, MD   Guest: Michael Cavnar, MD GI Surgical Oncologist UK HealthCare/Markey Cancer Center Lexington, KY Resources: Shared Solutions for Rural Oncology: Insights Across the Americas Breast Cancer Knowledge Gaps and Misconceptions Among Non-Medical Female University Students in Southwestern Nigeria A Global Perspective: Innovative Care and Supporting Women in Medicine in Nigeria #ACCCNOC: Advancing Global Health Equity  

What does it take for a single idea to travel from a research lab in New Haven to war zones in Uganda, refugee camps in Malaysia, and clinics across 30 countries and six continents? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Myrna Weissman, one of the most consequential figures in modern psychiatry, to find out.Dr. Weissman co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, on a simple premise: that human suffering is deeply tied to human connection. Grief. Conflict. Loneliness. Life upended. These are not niche clinical categories, but rather a universal language of distress. And IPT was built to respond to it.In this conversation, Dr. Weissman reflects on five decades of research, the pandemic-era project that became a sweeping global volume (now available free via open access), and what it means to build something that outlives its origins. *This episode briefly mentions suicide.(Re-post: This is one of our most beloved episodes, brought back by popular demand. If you've heard it before, we hope it moves you just as much the second time.)What Is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Why Does It Work?IPT links the emergence of psychiatric symptoms to what is happening in a person's current life. It focuses on four core problem areas:1. Grief — the loss of a loved one2. Disputes — conflict with someone important to you3. Transitions — life changes, even positive ones, that disrupt relationships4. Loneliness/Isolation — chronic or newly developed lack of attachmentThese four areas have proven to resonate across vastly different cultures because they reflect fundamental aspects of the human condition. Dr. Weissman emphasizes that IPT is not the only evidence-based psychotherapy — it is “one tool in the toolbox, not a religion.”IPT for AdolescentsAdolescence is a prime time for IPT's problem areas, especially disputes, transitions, and loneliness. Key takeaways for parents:• Try to understand the specific stressors behind an adolescent's symptoms rather than reacting to global, dramatic statements.• Always be alert to the possibility of suicidal ideation.• Communication barriers between teens and parents are common; a trusted third party (grandparent, therapist, family friend) can sometimes serve as a valuable bridge.The New Book: IPT Around the WorldThis book is now available open access for readers everywhere!The COVID-19 pandemic gave Dr. Weissman the unexpected opportunity to connect with IPT practitioners worldwide. What began as a routine update to the standard IPT manual grew into a sweeping collaborative volume covering more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Contributors were asked: What are you doing? What works? What doesn't? What adaptations did you need to make?Notable chapters include:• Uganda — IPT was introduced around 2003 amid civil war and a mental health crisis. A landmark clinical trial published in JAMA confirmed its effectiveness. Sean Mabry, a former WHO worker, went on to treat hundreds of thousands of people using IPT, even by telephone during the pandemic, and has now established a low-cost program in New Jersey.• China — After government engagement and training by Columbia experts, IPT became what practitioners called a “rapidly growing practice,” with books, training programs, and internet-based delivery.• Malaysia — IPT has been applied with refugees, using the “transitions” framework to help people process displacement and profound loss.• Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Zambia, Uganda) — Adaptations have been made for cultural context, including how disputes are communicated and resolved within different family and community structures.• Japan and Hong Kong — Initial resistance to psychotherapy has given way to growing acceptance and translated materials.• United States special populations — Chapters cover Alaska Natives, people who are incarcerated, sexual and gender minorities, pre-adolescents, adolescents, and older adults.Cultural AdaptationsDr. Weissman shares a vivid example from Uganda: women in marital disputes are often encouraged not to confront their husbands directly, but to work through an elder who mediates. The underlying IPT principle, that the dispute is driving the symptoms, remains intact; only the implementation changes.Resources Mentioned• International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) — volunteer-run, affordable membership, biannual international conference (10th meeting held in the UK, March 2024)• Dr. Weissman's new book on IPT across international sites — published Open Access, freely available to practitioners and researchers worldwide• Oxford University Press — publisher of the standard IPT manualAbout the GuestDr. Myrna Weissman is the Diana Goldman Kemper Family Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Mailman School of Public Health, and Chief of the Division of Translational Epidemiology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, she co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), now backed by over 140 clinical trials, translated into numerous languages, and recommended by the World Health Organization.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Simon Hunt to the show. Simon is a consultant on the global economy, China, and the copper industry. The discussion opens with the ongoing disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and its profound implications for global energy supplies. Hunt explains that Saudi Arabia is attempting to broker a new regional architecture involving China, Russia, Pakistan, and Turkey, partly in response to Iran's demonstrated military capabilities. He assesses only a fifty percent chance of success, warning that even if a ceasefire is reached, reopening the strait to normal traffic could take months, and oil stockpiles in Asia, Europe, and America may be exhausted by mid-July. This supply crunch, he argues, makes a global recession nearly certain by year-end, deepening significantly in the following year. The conversation shifts to China's strategic positioning. Hunt notes that China anticipated American geopolitical moves and has diversified its energy sources through pipelines from Russia and Kazakhstan, alongside massive domestic coal and renewable capacity. This allows China to withstand the Hormuz closure indefinitely, unlike Western nations. The discussion then turns to the evolving global monetary order, where Hunt describes a BRICS-led effort to create a multipolar system anchored in physical gold. He details China's construction of Shanghai Gold Exchange vaults in Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong, enabling trade settlement in non-G7 currencies convertible to gold. While he sees gold prices reaching double-digit thousands in five years, he cautions that America is unlikely to revalue its gold reserves and warns of potential government confiscation during crises. On commodities, Hunt challenges the prevailing supercycle narrative, calling it premature. He predicts that a deep recession will cause physical demand to collapse, outweighing current supply constraints. He specifically highlights copper, noting that NVIDIA's shift to photonics could eliminate copper from data centers by 2028, undermining a key demand thesis. Strategic stockpiling of critical minerals by governments will eventually follow, but processing capacity remains a bottleneck controlled by China.

In 1961, he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organization, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe. He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company’s cost studies and end-use analyses. Simon appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level. He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993, and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. Simon also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia. The focus of the company’s services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China’s economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected. Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China’s economy, politics, and financial outlook. Simon established this company in January 1996.

The King of England and the King of Trolls. King Charles III visited the White House yesterday and spoke to Congress. The Left all stood and clapped for the King of England. Then they got mad at a tweet. When it comes to involvement in foreign countries, America just can't win. If we help, we're imperialist, if we don't help, we're also bad somehow? Either way, Zambia has AIDS and somehow that's America's fault. Al Gore was wrong about climate change, but he's back with a new warning. How much is it going to cost us this time?
