Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying math that powers modern machine learning to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives, even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Leaving Lament 29:38

29:38

Special guest preacher Amber Evola takes us through her own journey of leaving lament. We all go through difficult times in life. The good news is that God is with us even in these dark seasons. His invitation is always waiting for us to engage with Him and discover who He designed us to be. We trust in Him and create a relationship that is mutually loving. From this safe inner space of love we are sent out to love others. Living a new life in Christ. Being in community with each other and working together to live out transformed lives, helping others to be transformed by God's love. I invite you to be mindful of how you talk to yourself this week. Be kind, stay positive and praise God in all things. See what this inner work might do to deepen your relationship with our loving Heavenly Father. May the peace of God be with you always.…

On the 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month - all of the house churches gathering for worship together. Why do we do that? How does God form us through this rhythm? We answer that question with a bunch of "RE" words... Reality - What is real?

How does God want you to change and grow and become more like Jesus this year? How do you want to change and grow and become more like Jesus this year? We are starting off 2025 by connecting the dots on Why Do We Do What We Do? as a church. On the 1st Sunday of the month we gather as house churches to love & serve our community. Why do we do that? How does God form us through this rhythm? We start answering those questions by looking at the scripture in the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31 where Jesus tells us a story causing us to consider how we see others...…

Christmas as Identity 25:41

25:41

It's the 4th Sunday of Advent and Christmas is coming... As many people return "home" for Christmas, we look at how Christmas can be a kind of home for us - reminding us of God's unfailing love and faithfulness and that we are God's beloved. But it doesn't end there... Christmas also reminds us of where we are going and even what to do with our lives now. Christmas reminds us of our identity. So let's all go home for Christmas.…

What is the true Christmas Spirit? 29:34

It's the 2nd Sunday of Advent and Christmas is coming... To help us explore "What is the true Christmas Spirit?", we turn our focus to Mary's Magnificat (Gospel of Luke 1:26-56) and other scripture (Gospel of Luke 4:18-19 and Philippians 2:5-8) that help us to remember why Jesus came into the world... and what that means for our lives. May you not only dwell on "What is the true Christmas Spirit?", but may you have the eyes to see and the courage to act this Christmas in ways that will continue what Jesus started.…

I'm stuck. We're stuck. ...discover the rhythm of the daily office & sabbath 33:02

πριν 46 weeks33:02

33:02

This series takes us through Peter Scazzero's book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. In this sermon we focus on Sabbath - God's gift to us. The whole focus of this series has been learning to slow down so we can listen to and be with God. Sabbath takes that idea to a whole new level. Why does God think stopping, resting and delighting for a day each week is as important as "Do not steal" or "Do not murder"? How does the Sabbath help you? Why don't you observe the Sabbath? These are some of the questions we will explore.…

I'm stuck. We're stuck. ...enlarging your soul through grief and loss 29:44

πριν 49 weeks29:44

29:44

This series takes us through Peter Scazzero's book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. In this sermon, we focus on chapter 5 - Enlarging Your Soul Through Grief and Loss. Most of us try to avoid pain, grief, loss. And we will use anything to do it - television, tik tok, work, "staying busy", pornography, overeating, alcohol, drugs. In the scripture we look at today, we see that Jesus wept and Jesus was angry when he experienced loss. And that while turning toward our pain may be counterintuitive - it might be the pathway to healing, growth and the fullness of life.…

This series takes us through Peter Scazzero's book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. In this sermon, we focus on The Dark Night of the Soul or as Scazzero calls it in chapter 4 - The Wall. We discuss how all of us will go though a season when our good feelings of God's presence evaporate. Where we feel like God is not listening when we pray. This is normal. Even to be expected. But it is also an opportunity...…

This series takes us through Peter Scazzero's book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. In this sermon, we focus on chapter 3 - Going Back in Order to Go Forward. Through looking at the life of Joseph, we are invited to look at how the blessings and sins of our family going back 2-3 generations have impacted who we are today. If we want to follow Jesus, the work of discipleship then asks us to consider if the lessons our family taught us line up with Jesus' teachings. Here are just a few questions to begin to consider: How do we receive & give love? How do we handle conflict? What is our definition of success?…
