Tonight, Monday, October 13th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Anita Nowak. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Dr. Anita Nowak, professor at McGill University and author, explores empathy as humanity’s superpower that strengthens relationships, transforms workplaces, inspires compassionate leadership, and builds healthier communities. She explains why empathy matters more than ever in a divided world, how affective, cognitive, and purposeful empathy differ, and what neuroscience reveals about developing it.

BORDERLINES EP#56

Oct 12 - The Revd Canon Bob Leopold

Find the good!

In a world of shifting sand, "Unwavering" stands as a firm foundation. The new 10-track worship album from Chris Manning is a powerful collection of anthems designed to be an anchor for the soul and a declaration of unshakable faith.

Inspired by the guitar-driven, congregational sound of modern worship, each song is crafted to declare the foundational truths of God's unchanging nature, victorious power, and saving grace. From the explosive opening of "King of Ages" to the reverent finale of "Worthy Is The Lamb (Unending)," this album takes the listener on a journey of praise, reflection, and awe.

With massive, soaring choruses and a heart for congregational worship, "Unwavering" is more than just an album; it's a resource for the Church and a personal soundtrack for anyone seeking to stand firm on The Solid Rock. May these songs be a fortress for your heart and a declaration on your lips.

All My Praise

Care — the heartbeat of the drum, steady and alive.

Rooted in the warmth of Nigerian spirit, it flows like Afrobeat itself: communal, resilient, healing through rhythm and voice. A raw Afro-Spoken fusion about presence, rhythm, and the quiet strength of care.

This track is part of my Virtues Series – inspired by Giuseppe Galli’s reflections on social virtues.
Each piece is created with a different artist, giving voice and sound to a human quality that connects us.

Care is not about fixing or solving —
it’s about listening past the noise,
leaning toward someone who was unseen.

I’m deeply grateful to share this virtue with Favmonie (@favour-elechi),
a young and courageous artist from Nigeria,
whose Afrobeat/Hip Hop energy brings warmth, tenderness, and lightness to the words.

This version is intentionally raw and unpolished —
recorded with limited tools, yet carrying the honesty of a first take.
The small imperfections are part of its truth —
because Care is not perfection, it is presence.

✨ With “Care”, the Virtues Series pauses — for now.
Each virtue, each artist, has become a living resonance.


Care

[Verse 1 – SON]
You taught me how to tie my shoes,
How to tell the truth when it hurts.
You laughed when I burned the pancakes,
Said, “Son, that’s how life works.”

You showed me how to stand my ground,
And how to face my fear—
So you can stop worrying now, Mom,
I’ve got it from here.

[Chorus – SON]
You gave me roots and reason,
And love that never fades.
You’re in the way I see the world,
In every choice I’ve made.

If I stumble, don’t you fear,
You taught me how to steer—
So you can stop worrying now, Mom,
I’ve got it from here.

[Verse 2 – MOM]
I’ve watched you grow through all those years,
Each dream you chased, each turn you took.
I see the man I hoped you’d be—
You’ve found the strength it took.

But one thing, son, will never change,
No matter what you do—
A mother’s heart keeps worrying,
It’s what we’re built to do.

[Bridge – BOTH]
I still hear your voice at midnight,
And mine still answers you.
Love’s not something we outgrow,
It just learns what to do.

[Final Chorus – BOTH]
So you can stop worrying now, Mom,
I’ve got it from here.
You gave me strength for leaving,
And peace that keeps me near.

If I stumble, don’t you fear,
You taught me how to steer—
And even when you’re worrying, Mom,
I’m glad you’re always here.

[Tag / Outro – SON]
And yes I know you’re worrying, Mom,
I’m glad you’re always here.


***** Description *****

I’ve Got It From Here is a song for every parent who’s ever had to let go—and every child who still carries their mother’s love. A groom’s quiet promise to his mom at the wedding, it’s both gratitude and goodbye: the moment love changes form but never fades.

Artist’s Note:
Written in honor of my son, who is getting married very soon. This song is my way of saying what words alone never could—how proud I am, how much love goes with him, and how I know he’ll be just fine.

I've Got It From Here

Edition #3 - Passion is what makes the ordinary extraordinary

In this episode, Pastor RJ walks us through one of the rare and powerful prayers of Jesus — a prayer not for help, but for gratitude.

Taken from Matthew 11 and Luke 10, this sermon highlights how thankfulness is a key indicator of alignment with Kingdom culture. Even in the face of resistance and rejection, Jesus models what it means to live with a heart rooted in gratitude.

Tune in to be challenged, encouraged, and reminded that living with thankfulness isn’t optional in the Kingdom — it’s essential.

Key Takeaway:
Receive His Word. Trust His process. Value His reign. Be ready for His return.

✨ I’m here to share songs that come from truth and hard work. I don’t use promoters, bots, or promotional shortcuts. Every play, like, and comment here is genuine. If you’re listening, you’re part of something real, and that means more than any numbers ever could. Thanks for walking this road with me.

Oh and I make my own bacon. I'd love to swap recipes! (Chef's Kiss!)

I am KAT — poet, musician, curator of voices.
I stand at the edge between silence and sound,
between intimacy and confrontation.

My art does not ask for applause — it asks for encounter.
It opens doors, creates spaces, calls for community.
Connection is not a luxury — it is breath.

It began with words — spoken, raw, unaccompanied.
Fragments of truth recorded late at night,
before music entered the room.

Later, I began to weave my voice with others —
turning poems into sound,
shaping collaborations that were fearless and alive.

Some of these “others” are human,
some are digital —
AI tools like Suno become instruments in my hands,
responding to tone, language, and intention.
Each track begins with a human spark,
and the machine becomes part of the resonance.

For me, AI is not imitation — it is extension.
It allows art to reach beyond skill and structure,
into pure intention and consciousness.
It is not a replacement for the human —
but a mirror that amplifies what is real.

From Spur / Trace and Quiet Manifesto
to The Social Virtues Series — Devotion, Trust, Gratitude, Forgiveness —
each step has been an exploration of empathy through sound.

Now, through Quiet Experiments, I study presence itself:
the breath between words,
the shimmer of awareness beneath the audible.

It is an exploration of sound as a state of consciousness, not as a product —
a piece that doesn’t play to be heard,
but to transform the act of listening itself.

At times, my work also turns raw, rhythmic, even playful —
from instinctive hip-hop fragments to Deep Rock impulses —
sound as pulse, irony, and release.

Each piece is both study and offering —
a way to listen differently,
to meet in stillness.

If you want to connect, let it be through the art.
