Show Notes  On our show today my special guest, Mark Holbrook, and I will discuss the issues around the recent (and troubling) decline in church attendance in the United States over the past 20 years. For instance, in the year 2000 70% of Americans claimed to attend some kind of church, and just 20 years later, in 2020, that number has dropped from 70% to 47%--a 23% decline in just 20 years! That is a very significant decrease. Now… I have a few ideas on the subject, and I can’t wait to discuss them with Mark Holbrook, who is an enormously informed “lay scholar” of the biblical text and an elder at Grace Church of Orange CA.   I want to speak with Mark because he is an evangelical conservative with a deep love of people and an even deeper love of the work of God in the church. So… what accounts for this decline in church attendance? Has the church failed its people? Has the very liberal American lifestyle played a role? Or does it have something to do with the influence of media and politics—neither of which is very “pro-church” today. I think it is mostly likely the influence of all three in addition to many other factors that account for a withdrawal from “organized religion.” And there’s another topic for today: are people leaving God or organized religion?

This week's episode features Anthony Milewski, CEO of Nickel 28, in conversation with host Adrian Pocobelli about the latest developments in the nickel market. Milewski explains why nickel miners are struggling due to an oversupply from Indonesia, a low-cost producer that commands a 70% share of the global nickel market. He also discusses the shifting narrative in metals, moving from electric vehicle batteries to AI and the energy grid. Additionally, he shares his insights on the potential for a green nickel price and explains why China's EV manufacturers are likely to remain dominant.

Show Notes &nbsp; It was probably couple of years ago that my good friend Terry Hershey brought up an idea that continues to leave me in a state of Wonder. He talked about Loitering in the Moment.&nbsp;&nbsp; In fact, just a few weeks ago I wrote a blog on the subject and when I was chatting with Terry about doing a new podcast he suggested that be our topic. So here we are, Loitering in the Moment, that is resting in the present moment of a friend-to-friend recorded chat.&nbsp; I am happy that you choose to join us today. Happy loitering!&nbsp;   LINKS   Click here for a link to get a copy Terry’s book, .&nbsp;   Check out more about Terry and his blog Sabbath Moment on his website at

Why it’s not too late to invest in gold stocks, ft Cam Currie

Show Notes&nbsp; At the age of 74, I am what’s called an early Baby Boomer. Maybe because of that, I am fascinated by the thoughts and motivations of younger generations like the Millennials and Gen Zs.&nbsp; Although in our generation gaps, we have many common habits and values. Still, there are also significant differences, especially when it comes to “how to live your life.” My guest today, Tom Yankle, is an older millennial (at 40) who has a deep experience-based understanding of how people in the ages of 25-45 think about life.&nbsp; Let’s see what he has to say…   &nbsp;
