Robbie sits down with Dale Lewis, founder of COMACO (Community Markets for Conservation). Based in Zambia, Dale used the free market tit tackle a problem at the intersection of snaring, conservation and community upliftment. Dale's pipeline allows community agricultural products to make their way in to market in exchange for conservation pledges, essentially buying their help in exchange for helping them get their products to market. It's a genius maneuver that's working well for everyone, including both the people and the wildlife on their landscape. Do you have questions we can answer?

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “Re-establishing our interest in Madaouela represents a transformational outcome for Atomic Eagle significantly increasing our resource base and adding a second advanced uranium project to our project portfolio. Madaouela is a large, high-grade uranium asset supported by an extensive body of historical work, and we see clear opportunities to further define and optimise the Project's development potential. This agreement has been achieved through constructive engagement with the Government of Niger and delivers a strong, commercially balanced outcome following a period of dispute. I would like to thank Niger's Minister of Mines, His Excellency Colonel-Commissioner Abarchi Ousmane and his team for sharing our commitment to finding a mutually beneficial solution to the historical dispute.” Atomic Eagle has agreed terms of a mining convention with the Republic of Niger to re-establish its interest in the Madaouela Uranium Project, which hosts a Mineral Resource of 116.5Mlbs U₃O₈ (Canadian NI43-101 estimate). The addition of the Madaouela Project, alongside a 58.8Mlbs U₃O₈ JORC Mineral Resource at AEU's flagship Muntanga Project in Zambia, establishes a dual-asset uranium development platform with materially increased scale and portfolio depth. Supported by extensive historical drilling and prior technical studies, Madaouela provides a substantial foundation for further evaluation and optimisation, while increasing the Company's flexibility to pursue a range of development, funding and strategic pathways 00:00 Intro 00:33 Madaouela Update 01:11 Negotiations Success 02:55 Ownership Terms 04:38 Valuation Impact 06:11 JORC Conversion Plan 07:59 Two Project Strategy 09:48 Permitting Timeline 10:50 Political Risk 12:46 Cash and Options 13:49 OTCQX Expansion https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF Press Releases Discussed: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03124575.pdf https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03124577.pdf Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

The global IPO market is roaring back but some of the most interesting action isn't happening on Wall Street.In this episode of the Market Maker Podcast, Anthony Cheung and Stephen Barnett take a whistle-stop tour of the global IPO boom, from China's extraordinary robotics race and Hong Kong's growing pipeline of AI listings to what could become the biggest IPO in India's history.We break down why Chinese robotics companies are attracting huge investor demand, what embodied AI could mean for the next stage of the technology cycle, and why Hong Kong is emerging as an important fundraising hub for the sector. We then head to India to look at the planned listing of the National Stock Exchange, before exploring the surprisingly active IPO markets of Pakistan and Zambia.Finally, we return to the US to ask an important question: with so much investor capital being pulled towards mega AI and technology listings, are other companies being crowded out?A global look at where capital is flowing, why IPO activity is returning and what it tells us about the changing shape of markets.(00:00) The Global IPO Boom(03:48) IPOs Are Back(06:00) Careers in Equity Capital Markets(10:04) China's Robot IPO Boom(11:36) The Unitree Robotics Story(18:36) China vs the US(22:15) Hong Kong's Robot Gold Rush(27:27) India's Biggest IPO Ever(30:36) Inside an IPO Roadshow(33:01) Pakistan's Record IPO Year(36:12) Zambia's IPO Boom(39:10) Why This US IPO Flopped(40:39) The Defence Tech Opportunity

Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has been re-elected for a second term. Results released by the election commission in the early hours of Tuesday this week , revealed that Hichilema received roughly around 60% of valid votes, compared to the 38 percent of his main challenger, Brian Mundubile. His re-election gives him a fresh mandate to continue his economic programme, but also brings renewed expectations from voters, who say the benefits of that recovery have yet to reach their households. To unpack this Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Tendai Mbanje , election and governance expert from the Uninveristy of Pretoria

The narrative highlights key events such as the peaceful transition of power, the tragic loss of the national football team, and economic reforms aimed at breaking chains of poverty and disease. Through prayer and strategic investment, the country is portrayed as a beacon of hope and stability in Africa, demonstrating the tangible impact of faith-based leadership on societal renewal.

Ukraine says at least 17 people were killed in overnight Russian attacks, with most of the deaths in the north-eastern Kharkiv region. In one attack in the city of Kharkiv at least 10 people - including children - were killed and several others injured after a Russian air strike hit an apartment block. Moscow has threatened the UK with "consequences" after it was confirmed that Ukraine used British-made drones in recent attacks. Also: a court in Syria has issued a death sentence to a cousin of the ousted leader, Bashar al-Assad, after convicting him of crimes including murder and torture during the country's civil war. Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema has been re-elected for a second five-year term.

Midnight Sun Mining VP Adrian O'Brien explains how an initial high-resolution ground magnetic survey on its wholly owned Dumbwa copper deposit, located in Solwezi, Zambia, has identified multiple new exploration targets outside the previously defined and drilled mineralized corridor. Midnight Sun's COO, Kevin Bonel, stated: “We are encouraged by how effectively this ground magnetic survey has enhanced our understanding of the structural architecture of the Dumbwa deposit and its relationship to higher-grade mineralized zones. Importantly, the survey has allowed us to ‘fingerprint' the magnetic signature associated with the Central higher-grade block and identify several analogous targets east of the main mineralized corridor. These targets will be prioritised for future drill testing and provide a compelling opportunity to identify significant additional copper mineralization and further expand Dumbwa's rapidly growing footprint.” 00:00 Intro 00:39 Mag Survey Breakthrough 02:40 Thesis Proven 04:25 Fingerprint Targeting Explained 06:40 Phase Two Data Push 09:05 Phase Two Drill Strategy 11:03 Big Picture and Exit Plan 14:31 Catalysts https://midnightsunmining.com/ TSXV:MMA OTCQX:MDNGF Press release discussed: https://midnightsunmining.com/2026/high-resolution-ground-magnetics-unlocks-new-drill-targets-at-dumbwa/ 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.

Send us Fan MailJonny Ball welcomes Minister for Veterans & People at the UK Ministry of Defence, Calvin Bailey MBE MP.  We talk about his growing up in South East London, what inspired him to join the RAF, and the power of football communities with the Armed Forces.  This was recorded exclusively for Veterans In Politics.We also pay tribute to Operation Pitting, as we hit the 5 year anniversary of the withdrawal from Kabul, Afghanistan, where as a pilot, Calvin played a vital role.  This episode is dedicated to all those who served and the civilians impacted by conflict.Calvin is the Labour MP for Leyton and Wanstead, elected on the 5th of July 2024. Born in Zambia, Calvin's family moved to London, settling in Plumstead. Growing up in south-east London as a young Black man, he faced far-right violence and was deeply affected by the tragic murder of Stephen Lawrence, the older brother of his close friend Stuart. This event profoundly influenced Calvin's politics and desire to serve the community. Calvin graduated with a Master of Engineering from the University of Exeter in 1999 and later completed a Master of Arts in War Studies at King's College London in 2017.Calvin spent over 24-years in the Royal Air Force, rising to the rank of Wing Commander. During his military service, he led humanitarian efforts and operations in conflict zones. He was awarded an MBE for his support of relief operations in Haiti and the Philippines. He also proudly led critical missions, including commanding the UK's largest deployed Air Wing during the COVID-19 pandemic and overseeing the evacuation of 14,000 people from Kabul during Operation Pitting where he made the critical decision to double the number of passengers taken per flight, recognising that the risk of overloading the aircraft was outweighed by the risk to the lives of those who would have been left behind.Calvin became a junior minister in Keir Starmer's government when he was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Veterans and People on 12 June 2026. A role he kept during the Burnham reshuffle.See more here: https://www.calvinbailey.co.uk/Support the show✅Support The Show Help Us Grow!

We've known for quite some time that the Orlando Pride have not been playing well. Ever since the restart after the World Cup break, the Pride have been nearly unwatchable, and with Barbra Banda first injured and then off with Zambia for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, there haven't even been many goals to celebrate, let alone wins. Despite knowing that going in, your hosts attended Friday's Pride match against Racing Louisville — the very first time the two of us have been at a game as a fan at the same time. With one of us living in Tallahassee and the other one of us working the equivalent of about three jobs, including being at Orlando City games to cover those for The Mane Land, it just hadn't happened yet. That changed Friday, and although we did not enjoy the game much at all, we did enjoy being at the stadium, hanging out, and commiserating about how badly the team was playing (misery loves company). The food and beer were good. The soccer was not.We look back at the Pride's latest difficult outing, check our oh-so-close score predictions, and I think we picked a Player of the Match, but honestly we should not have.We also discussed the additions of Zoe Matthews and Gabi Nunes to the roster.This week's mailbagbox was incredibly robust, and it takes up a large chunk of the middle of the show. Our listeners wanted to know about goal of the week, long intros/outros in songs, the Pride's most urgent need, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp.

We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday night's Pride match in Portland. (Please note that we had not known the full extent of Olivia Moultrie's injury at the time of recording.) We're not holding out a lot of hope for a result for Orlando on the road, although the Thorns are in poor form. That's usually immaterial, as the Pride's recent trip to North Carolina showed us. We checked on the history of the series, looked at the teams' relative position in the table, provided our key matchups, and tried to predict the final score.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 133 went down:0:15 – The Pride were bad on Friday, but the company, food, and beverages were great.17:42 - The mailbagbox is bursting at the seams, and it was more fun than watching the game this week.48:08 - Orlando heads to the Pacific Northwest. We think we know what will happen, but we hope we're wrong for all the right reasons.

At the Zambia Cultural Center of Shaolin Temple, young Africans are learning Kung Fu alongside Chinese culture and regular academic education. They are building discipline, confidence, and new opportunities for themselves. We speak with Yanchen from China, Yanming from Côte d'Ivoire, and Hengshao from Zambia about how Kung Fu is taking root in Africa and how a new generation of African practitioners could become cultural bridges between China and Africa.

In this NBN episode, award-winning and celebrated author Farzana Doctor interviews Hollay Ghadery about her novel, The Unravelling of Ou (Palimpsest Press, 2026). Moving on is hard. Even harder when it's from a make-believe friend—someone, or in this instance, some thing—who's been your strongest source of support. On what should be one of the happiest days ever, the day her granddaughter is born, Minoo is faced with a terrible choice: make a clean break from her constant companion, a sock puppet named Ecology Paul, or lose her daughter and granddaughter, and maybe all of the people she loves. On an emotional drive home from the hospital, Ecology Paul shares the story of how Minoo got to this point, recalling Minoo's early teenage pregnancy in Iran, her exile to Canada, her questions about her sexuality, and how a ragtag sock puppet came to her when she desperately needed to be seen. Full of imagination, whimsy and heart, The Unravelling of Ou follows Minoo's struggles to justify the puppet's existence and untangle herself from her dependence on it, and reconnect with the people she loves. About Hollay Ghadery: Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. Fuse, her memoir of mixed-race identity and mental health, (Guernica Editions 2021) won the 2023 Canadian Bookclub Award for Nonfiction/Memoir.

The Victoria falls, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, is considered one of the natural wonders of the world. But as Isa Jacobson reports, there is concern that development around the waterfall could threaten the delicate ecosystem and exacerbate conflict between humans and wildlife.

Zambia's 8 million registered voters are expected to cast their ballots on August 13, when the country will hold presidential and parliamentary elections. Fourteen candidates are gunning for the presidency but many see it as a two-horse race between incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema and opposition leader Brian Mundubile. The vote comes amid concerns of high cost of living and unemployment. We look at how candidates used music on the campaign trail to sway voters. And we explain the often-strained relationship between rap music and politics as Moroccan rapper El Mehdi Lyoubi better known to his fans as Mehdi Black Wind is on trial for controversial lyrics.

The Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe is one of the natural wonders of the world. It's also one of Africa's great tourist attractions. As both countries seek to grow the tourism economy, there's been a push to develop land around the Falls. But as Isa Jacobson reports from Zambia, it's led to fears for the preservation of the World Heritage Site, and warnings that the loss of land will exacerbate a deadly conflict between local people and wildlife.Presenter: Isa Jacobson Producer: Alex Last Sound Mix: Neil Churchill Production Co-ordinator: Gemma Ashman Series Editor: Penny Murphy

WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

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.

An 11-year-old boy in rural Zambia once told Dr. Genesis Mwamba that he was about to attend school wearing shoes for the first time in his life. That moment, Dr. Mwamba says, crystallized why he started the Lead Me Back Foundation to provide school supplies and other support to marginalized communities in his native country.   As you'll learn in this inspiring installment in our NextGen Journeys series, Dr. Mwamba started the foundation in 2021while still a medical student because he had experienced the power of education as an “equalizer” in his own life, taking him from humble roots to a career in medicine. He and his colleagues have grown the bootstrapped organization to a point where it now provides hundreds of thousands of people across the country with educational access, climate education and community health clinics. “I've always been drawn to opportunities and initiatives that bring help to humankind,” he tells Raise the Line host Dr. Parsa Mohri. This episode also explores: What building "with" a community rather than "for" it looks like in practice; The storytelling strategy that attracted donors and partners; How his mother's untimely death inspired his commitment to preventive medicine.   Mentioned in this episode: Lead Me Back Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Anika sat down with Amir Berenjian to explore how a former investment banker transitioned from multi-million dollar M&A spreadsheets to founding an immersive technology company. The conversation revealed a profound truth: the most powerful way to sell a brand or cause isn't through data alone, but through deeply emotional, shared experiences. Amir shares how REM5 Studios leverages virtual reality (VR) to transport trade show attendees to a Wisconsin dairy farm and global policymakers to the frontlines of polio eradication in Zambia, proving that immersive tech is far more than just a novelty.   In This Episode   How 12 years in M&A investment banking prepared Amir for immersive storytelling The pivotal moment of trying the Oculus Rift in 2016 and seeing the future of human-computer interaction Using pizza and beer to overcome VR skepticism in the corporate world Why the ROI of immersive tech at trade shows vastly outperforms traditional marketing trinkets Transporting global policymakers to Zambia to fight polio via VR with the Gates Foundation How a premium cheese brand uses VR to tell the story of a 100-year-old family farm The surprising dual-use of VR for both external marketing and internal employee onboarding How to test out immersive tech for your brand without breaking the budget   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction: From investment banking to immersive tech  02:09 The surprising emotional throughline between M&A banking and VR storytelling  04:38 The Oculus Rift "Aha!" moment and democratizing the "magic school bus" experience  07:35 Overcoming the VR accessibility barrier and corporate skepticism  11:13 Transitioning from corporate events to purpose-driven storytelling and global causes  13:33 The economics of immersive tech and why it's cheaper than you think  15:08 Dominating trade shows: Why shared VR experiences beat traditional marketing flyers  17:29 Case Study 1: Transporting customers to a 3rd-generation Wisconsin dairy farm  19:38 Case Study 2: Putting policymakers on the frontlines of polio with the Gates Foundation  20:23 How immersive 3D video actually works (and the nostalgia of the View-Master)  25:13 The 9-month planning process and why distribution is the biggest hurdle in VR  29:39 The intersection of AI, implicit bias, and leveraging technology for good  31:47 Measuring the impact and ROI of immersive storytelling  34:33 How small businesses can test the waters of VR for under $500  38:33 The dual value of VR: Using marketing tools for internal employee onboarding  41:42 What's next for REM5 Studios and the convergence of AI and spatial computing   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: M&A and VR are Both About Selling Emotion    Even in investment banking, multi-million dollar deals are driven by the emotional story of a business. Amir realized VR is simply the ultimate tool for democratizing that story, allowing clients to "tour the factory" and meet the founders without ever leaving the boardroom.   Insight 2: Immersive Tech Solves the Trade Show ROI Problem    Trade shows are filled with expensive, easily discarded trinkets and flyers. Immersive tech completely steals the show by giving attendees a shared, memorable experience that re-energizes them. Because the experience can be reused across dozens of events, it proves to be far more cost-effective and impactful than traditional trade show marketing waste.   Insight 3: The Technology is the Conduit, Not the Message    People easily get caught up in buzzwords like AR, VR, and spatial computing. But the goal isn't to talk about the tech—it's to use the tech to tell a story so effectively that users forget they're wearing a headset. Whether it's understanding the reality of polio eradication or the care behind a premium cheese, the tech is just a vehicle for presence and empathy.   Insight 4: Marketing Assets Make Perfect Internal Training Tools    An immersive experience originally designed to sell a product to consumers can instantly be repurposed as an onboarding tool for HR and accounting teams. Giving new or remote employees a virtual factory tour accelerates learning, reduces training costs, and emotionally connects desk workers to the company's physical roots.   Insight 5: You Can Test VR for Your Business on a Budget    You don't need a massive corporate budget to start experimenting with immersive storytelling. With a $400 Meta Quest headset or a free 30-minute demo at an Apple Store, business owners can experience existing VR content, identify use cases, and understand the medium before ever committing to a custom build.   Resources & Links Mentioned   REM5 Studios Polio's Last Mile (VR Experience available on Meta Quest & Apple Vision Pro) Meta Quest 3 / Apple Vision Pro   About Amir Berenjian Amir Berenjian is the co-founder and CEO of REM5 Studios, an immersive technology company based in Minneapolis that builds virtual and augmented reality experiences for brands and causes. Before transitioning to spatial computing, Amir spent 12 years in investment banking, facilitating over 100 M&A transactions for companies ranging from $10 million to over $1 billion in revenue. Today, he helps organizations like the Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and Fortune 500 companies leverage the power of VR to foster profound empathy, connection, and real-world impact.   Connect with Amir LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amir-berenjian-90738220/ Website: REM5Studios.com Like the show?

In this episode of Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, Ben chats with authors mike Reid and Eric Goosby about how funding shocks become life-and-death realities, starting with a case from Zambia after the January 2025 U.S. pause and cuts to PEPFAR that left many without antiretrovirals and destabilized HIV services in a system heavily dependent on U.S. support. They describe behind-the-scenes efforts to warn political leaders, on-the-ground resilience and improvisation, and the emotional toll of what they view as an abandonment of dialogue. The discussion explores whether donor dependency was a design choice, the roles donors should play (equity gaps, global public goods, and underwriting transitions), and options such as co-investment requirements, government-to-government funding, debt-to-health swaps, public financial management support, domestic resource mobilization (including sin taxes), and potential roles for development finance and sovereign wealth funds, while stressing the need to define a clear destination for health financing and country ownership. 00:00 Welcome and Book Intro 00:29 Zambia Funding Shock 02:26 Why Zambia Matters 05:58 Scrambling After PEPFAR Pause 07:58 Resilience and System Fragility 09:58 Eric Goosby Reaction 15:37 Dependency by Design 18:44 Colonial Debt Reality 22:25 What Solidarity Looks Like 26:10 Donor Funding Roles 30:21 Accountability and Oversight 32:50 Co Investment and Direct Funding 35:37 Debt Relief as Co Investment 36:46 Debt for Health Swaps 37:46 Modernizing Gavi and Global Fund 41:26 Local Accountability and Trust 45:26 Post Aid Era Roadmap 48:19 Building Country Ownership 53:46 Sovereign Wealth Fund Ideas 58:04 New Finance Tools and Taxes 01:00:04 Defining the Destination 01:04:03 Call to Action and Thanks Learn more about the book: https://bit.ly/redefining-global-health More from UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences: https://globalhealthsciences.ucsf.edu Check Out mike Reid's Substack: https://substack.com/@reimaginingglobalhealth Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

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, our Generation Z group share their views on parenting, spanking, the necessity of a college education, what motivates them to determine a career, and whether our society has an unhealthy disposition toward safety. Our guests also have a little fun with music—can they identify the artists of popular songs from the other generations? 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.Jordan Mae BazzleJordan Mae Bazzle is a sophomore in high school with a passion for fencing, playing the violin, building things, and Formula 1. She is currently working on building her own violin alongside her grandfather and plans to spend plenty of time at the beach this summer. Looking ahead, Jordan Mae hopes to study mechanical engineering in college and one day work with Formula 1 cars.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.Manuel LagunaManuel Laguna is a 24-year-old Audio, Video, and Lighting Systems Coordinator at Seacoast Church.

Zambia voters will head to the polls on the 13th of August in what is shaping up to be one of the country's most closely watched elections. Incumbent President Hakainde Hichilema is seeking a second term but faces a strong challenge from a united opposition. While several candidates are contesting the election, the race is widely seen as being between President Hichilema and Brian Mundubile, a lawyer, Member of Parliament, and the presidential candidate backed by an opposition alliance.

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.
