The Nonprofit CEO Podcast005 The Hidden Vulnerability of the Nonprofit CEO | Praxis Partner Andy CrouchAndy Crouch uses a framework from Peter Greer to name a structural problem with honest at the heart of many nonprofits. It's the stakeholder gap, and he argues it creates built-in incentives to not tell the whole truth all the time. And the better you are at fundraising, the more danger you're in.Andy also traces the 40-year collapse of institutional trust to something deeper than politics: the unmasking of prestige as mere dominance.

St Marcus MKE SermonsMeticulous Genealogy | What a Magnificent Advent Plan!Pastor Jeske's Advent series, "What a Magnificent Plan", kicks off with a study on the "Meticulous Genealogy" in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-37. Jews kept extensive genealogies as records of family descendants to establish a person’s heritage, inheritance, legitimacy, and rights. Matthew gives Jesus’ ancestry through Joseph’s line to demonstrate that Jesus is the legal heir to the covenant promises linked to David’s throne and the legal heir to the covenant promises linked to Abraham’s heirs and land. Comparing Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew (Mt 1:1–16) with the one found in Luke, Matthew begins with Abraham and works forward to Dav...
