AJ Jones, how the heck are you?
Oh, I'm doing wonderful.
I have a slight cold.
My AJ, what device you have.
Just kidding.
It's me.
Shall we talk about what's happening?
I guess so.
Welcome to episode 67 of keeping up with the Joneses.
AJ Jones is sick.
She took some pain relief medicine last night, had a horribly bad allergic reaction to it
and has been out for the count.
That's why I never take unlabeled drug.
Sorry.
It was just hippie nonsense.
Yeah.
And anyway, I won't go into details about what happened, but she's not good.
So I asked our good friend Josh Parsons, whose wife Sarah is also sick.
If he would come over and stand in for AJ.
I believe you said, bro night on the podcast, I think I could have misread that.
I could have been a different.
Do you know what?
It's called a football.
Let's just talk college football.
Oh, that's right.
I love sports teams.
Me and you should do this for the podcast or people who don't like.
Absolutely.
I love it.
Usually at the start of the week, we catch up on our week.
So how was your week?
I had a good week.
It was a a busy week, but good.
What was the highlight of your week?
OK, I'm going to nerd out about some things, but I've been learning all about
this program called planning center.
And is that like a fertility program?
It is.
So I have to take these weird pills, which, like I said, I only do the late.
I'm just kidding.
No, it is a.
So if we have any worship pastors or worship leaders listening, planning center is your friend.
It's, uh, it's this basically software program that kind of does your scheduling for you.
You just input names and, you know, songs and things like that.
And it just makes it easier.
So, you know, it for scheduling, for doing set lists.
And then there's this other cool thing that goes with planning center that
allows you to see your set list with your charts and everything on an iPad.
And you can link the iPads for everyone on stage and switch songs all at the same
time. That's even if you use charts, but I don't know.
It's the beginning stages of something cool.
Am I right in thinking that you never used to be that into computers and technology or is that a judgment?
No, you're right.
I, uh, I had a flip phone till about a few years ago and how, how are we from friends?
Well, uh, I think you reached out to me as like an evangelistic type thing.
Right.
You were lost.
Exactly.
And now you have an iPhone and iPad and a Mac and a Mac.
Yeah.
It is to max a 2008 or 2009 Mac.
So I'm probably due for an upgrade.
You are absolutely good upgrade.
Do you want to know the highlight my week was?
I do.
I'd love to know the highlight of your week.
A highlight of our week.
I think I speak for AJ Jones in this particular situations.
We had dinner with a very wonderful Lyle Nelson Phillips on Tuesday night.
I love Lyle and Allison.
And Lyle's been on our podcast before, but let's imagine we have people who don't know
who Lyle and Allison are.
Describe Lyle and Allison Phillips to us.
Well, first of all, they're probably probably one of the most beautiful couples
that the Lord has blessed with his beauty.
That's that works as a sentence.
Um, so Lyle is a pastor.
He and Allison are both the pastors at Iris, Iris Nashville,
church here in town.
And somebody told me after Lyle spoke, they're like, even the
lazy laziest of people could want to go and change the world after listening to
Lyle.
Absolutely.
They just have this contagious energy and passion for the Lord and for the lost.
And I just had baby Isaiah.
They did.
Who's gorgeous.
So cute.
Have you noticed the Lyle and me share some physical attributes?
Absolutely.
Cause you guys both do CrossFit, right?
Well, mine's all natural.
Like my physique, athletic build, just natural.

Exactly.
Lyle has to just be CrossFit every single day.
Who's the king of periscope?
I would definitely say Lyle.
He he is on a periscope, at least once a day, and he's good.
Yeah.
I'm I'm too nervous to use periscope.
I agree.
I made one video and it was of my dog and I didn't say a word.
My wife told me if for anyone to watch this, you at least say something like, hi, I'm playing with my dog.
Check her out.
She's cute.

- I can't believe I missed that.
- Well, it was easy to miss.
- Yeah, so Lyle and Allison Phillips,
checking out on Instagram, Periscope, Twitter,
it's social media takeover really.

- Oh.
- So this week was going in and filling in
all the forms and meeting his teacher,
and he loves it every day, he's asked to go to school,
which is exciting.
- Oh, that's great.
- And then I guess the only other two things
We got up to this week was I spoke twice or I guess three times this week Monday night
Ammonate on the church and yes this morning on honor. Oh, so good
But you also played worship both times I spoke I did is there ever something that you haven't played in worship?
If I'm not there usually I'm not playing but
Sorry, so no, so well not so much. I mean
Yeah, the goal isn't to play every time but
I just enjoy it so much and you really do.
I can't ask to play.
So who asked you?
Because I aren't either worship pastor.
I am now, but I didn't used to be.
Yeah, I just would get scheduled by whoever was leading.
And so that's how it happened a whole lot.
I've been a great.
How long have you been a great singer?
Uh, five years this month.

About four and three quarters.
Right.
So my question is you guys make it look like it's magic up there.
I get the okay we're playing a song and we're singing the song I get that right I get that most of our musicians are super talented.
Can all play by ear right and so they can just play the song the magic that happens is of course doing some bit between songs or when you guys go in the prophetic flow.
To me about what that's what was that like to begin with because you're an accomplished musician was that easy with just another expression of musical creativity or is it like what is happening.
I think for me, I think I was fortunate to learn guitar in a way where I learned.
by ear and less by learning notes on a page and right.
You know, playing what I see. So I would play what I feel or play what I hear. And there were. So I, you know, used to just practice along to whatever I was listening to at the time when I was in high school, which was not the greatest music, but I did get a few
Leonard Skinner and Beatles albums, which helped me with my chops.
Thanks, dad.
And, uh, but I would just rather than like getting a char or a tab or, uh,
you know, cord sheet, I would just play along and try to try to learn what I was
hearing.
Right.
And, but I didn't, I kind of thought that everybody else learned that way too.
And then I would meet musicians, uh, more classical musicians, like somebody who
played cello.
And they were asking about playing in worship and they were like, well,
do you have music printed out?" And I was like, "No, we just play along to the song."
She's like, "How do you know what to play?" That was the first time I think that I thought,
"Oh, you don't just like hear something? I'm play along." Right. So, when I first started playing
guitar at like age 12, my dad was a pastor and he and my mom led worship a lot at our church.

And so they just had us playing along and a lot of times it was ad-libbing a lot of times it was my dad.
Was I would say now was a very prophetic worship leader.
I don't know that he ever planned to set.
I think he maybe would just, you know, back then it was him's so he'd maybe pick two or three.
But then he would flow in and out of different things too.
So that all makes sense.
Everything you've just said makes sense.
Yeah.
But that's you.
Yeah, and there's six or seven other people on the platform.
So it would make sense if you're just doing a solo and you could just go in and out,
but seven of you are not communicating and you're all flowing and sometimes
our prophetic spontaneous songs are 15, 20 minutes long.
Yeah.
And they're amazing.
How do you know what you're doing?
I think I think it's kind of like if you think of music as a language,
it's almost like talking.
Like so if if if worship via music,
is a form of giving your thanks to the Lord.
And we're like speaking in tongues.
I think there's a certain element of you just play.
And there is a certain order to it.
Like we'll try and give signals.
So like if we try to leave space,
but rather than everybody just play whatever they're feeling all at once,
we try to have it.
I mean, sometimes that happens.
And sometimes it happens that we end up playing the same thing,
which is good. Other times, if somebody gets something, the rest of the band will kind of support
what that person has got. Does that make sense? Totally makes sense. I never thought of it like
that. So if you think of it in terms of like, so if somebody, you know, music in a way,
everything is context. So there's a context of the key that you're in. There's a context of the
tempo, there's the context of the feeling in the room, whether in a major key or a minor key.
And so if there's this really uplifting time in the room, or it just feels like God's presence
is there and joy is being released or something, you're probably not going to go into some minor
cord dirge, you know, right?
We're all just worms in the dirt, you know?
So there's an element of like that feeling of it.
And then if music is the language that you have to express that, I don't know,
you just kind of know.
That makes a lot of sense.
So when you said it's like a conversation, like if I go to a dinner
party and there's seven other people there, I'm not worried about how the
conversation is going to go.
I'm not waiting for the script.
It's like, how did you plan what to say?
But you just didn't take it in turns and it was something you might say might inspire me to say something different than what I'm going to say exactly.
I never thought of that.
I didn't either.
That must have been the Holy Spirit.
What do you think it takes?
Do you think it takes obviously musical ability?
But but I know musicians who wouldn't be able to move outside the framework of what's on the sheet of paper.
But so what do you think the key ingredients are in being able to flow like that?
Sarah and I were just out at worship you at Bethel in July and they were talking about some of
their core values and stuff. And one of them was excellence. And I forget who said it. I'm so sorry
if I'm butchering your quote, if you're listening, but it was something along the lines of,
don't let your lack of skill limit what God wants to do. So on the one hand, there's excellence.
And then on the other hand, you don't want your skill that you've developed to hinder what God wants to do if he wants to do something outside of what you've learned.
Right.
So then the... So there's excellence. And then I think on the other hand, there's risk because stepping out is a risky thing.
You know, what if it's wrong?
Yeah, what if it's in the wrong... And I've done that before.
I've stepped out in the wrong key and wrong time signature and probably in the wrong place.
Yeah, I would say it takes a certain level of excellence to be able to confidently take that
risk because I think confidence is the other thing because it's like praying. If you start
praying and everything you say you feel unsure about or,
you know, other people will have a hard time
kind of attaching their faith to your prayer versus
if you're like, the Lord's given me something
and I'm gonna step out and play it.
I don't know.
Does that make sense?
It does, totally does.
So like risk and excellence and then with excellence,
a certain level of confidence.
'Cause I've met musicians who are incredibly excellent
but aren't confident.
They're confident in certain aspects or certain.
Uh,
surroundings, certain atmospheres, like if it's all planned out,
but if it got to a point where it was like, yeah, just play what you feel.
They wouldn't know what to do because they've been used to playing what they're
told or playing with the read or I'm pretty sure you told me this, but I might
be wrong, but I remember you were talking about the first time, first few times
you started playing with Alberto and Kimberly Rivera.
So for people who might not be familiar with Alberto and Kimberly Rivera,
I'm so sorry that you have not experienced them.
Stop what you're doing right now.
Go find some other stuff and iTunes and buy it.
Truly amazing.
And so Alberto and Kimberly are incredible musicians,
like in and of themselves, incredible musicians.
They also flow in the Holy Spirit, like few other people I've met.
So just to kind of set that up, you're an incredible musician.
You also know how to flow with the Holy Spirit.
But I'm imagining this or did you tell me that when you first started playing with
them, you suddenly realized I'm at my depth and I might have just used words so you might
not be comfortable with?
No, not at all.
I still feel out of my depth whenever I play with them.
Like I would say I'm more comfortable now.
And some of that comes from probably knowing what to expect.
But the first few times, yeah, like you said, they are just, they're just on a different
length. And I mean that like in a good way and an honoring way. Like, so if you had a bunch of
people in a room like speaking in tongues together and it was like, now you're going to respond to
what they said in tongues, but you're still unsure about like how to do it or what it's for or whatever.
That's kind of like how I felt the first time I played with Alberto, because he started playing
something that was almost like a salsa beat. He plays keys. So like this salsa bossa nova movement
type thing on keys and singing something. I was kind of looking down and looking around
and thinking, "Where do I fit?" What key are we in?
For now, I've gotten to the point where I feel like I can keep up
Alberto challenges me on this a lot. I kind of stay in the parameters of what I know.
I'm like, oh, I know I can do this.
Excellently.
And so I'll try and do that.

He's like, don't think about the music.
Just play just worship with your instrument.
I don't know why he sounded like speedy Gonzalez.
When I said that, but he's yeah.
When you talk about pushing the envelope, those guys push the envelope.
Oh, they absolutely do.
But they're unbelievable, aren't they?
I don't know.
Incredible.
and every like them. I don't know how she can sing like she sings from a sitting down position.
Yeah. I don't either. I don't know how he can play how he plays without ever looking at his fingers.
I know that's rudimentary, but he can play in.
But every time I look at my, I'm like, at least look at your fingers, at least make it look the slightest bit complex.
Yeah. Yeah. But they're, they're just incredible.
So that to me, that would be like, like he speaks Portuguese and English, but he's fluent in music.
And so he can say anything at any time in music.
Whereas I might, I'm like, oh, I'm still learning the language.
So I can say these phrases where he's just like, Oh, no, I'm fluent in this.
That's a very good way of going to judge.
You're not going to have the park with this.
Oh, thank you.
And I, you know, I'm starting a Twitter with my own quotes.
It's not really.

Yes.
Those guys were amazing, aren't they?
Oh, it's so it.
Yes.
All of them are incredible.
Talk to me about your top and the new your common players.
So this might send you a statement.
Top four things that you were personally impacted by top four things.
Help people understand.
I'm pretty sure everybody who listens to this podcast knows about battle, but they might
not be familiar with worship you.
with what is worship you, what does it look like? Just give us a brief outline.
So worship you, I heard about it maybe a year or two ago, a couple years ago, and it's always
intrigued me.
And you basically go for two weeks
and you spend glorious amounts of time in worship
with people from Bethel, like Brian and Jen and Amanda Cook
and Jeremy Riddles, Stephanie Gretzinger,
like everybody, all of those amazing people.
- So they're leading worship over there.
- So they're leading worship,
but then they have guests in,
like people that are friends of theirs,
like Leland or John Mark McMillan or Jonathan and Melissa Helser, which of course, you know,
we love them.  They're leading worship.
And then there, a lot of them are speaking on things as well. And they'll speak on topics such as
walking under authority, growing your team, like everything from the super practical to
super spiritual, like without a conquer fear and doubt when you're writing, how to, you
know, just abiding in the Holy Spirit and prophetic worship, things like that.
And you had classes all day?
We had classes from, we worship would start around 10 a.m. in the morning.
And there were, I think, like four classes every day that were required for everyone to
be there and then the whole afternoon and evening was filled with electives.
So that's where you would have more specific classes like beginners dance, flag waving,
painting, guitar parts for Bethel, bass parts for Bethel's song.

And you know, here's two guitar players.
Here's how we write parts to compliment one another.
And if you have two guitar players on your team, you can do that too.
You know, wow.
So just create like basically just stewarding everything that God has given them incredibly
well and then giving it away, which is it just blows my mind.

And then this year, I think we talked about before where we were asked to be the worship
and creative arts pastors here at the church at Grace Center.
Surprise!
Yeah.
And I thought, gosh, I really don't want to screw this up.
So I'm going to get as much wisdom as I possibly can from worship you because they do so many
of these things so well.
And so back to your original question about like top four things.
One of the things was their excellence level.
Someone and I were talking about this the other day.
You feel like you know a lot about a person when you walk into their house that you see
what they value.
So if their house is really nice and they have nice furniture and things are in order,
they probably don't have to ask you not to put your feet on the table.
You know what I mean?

So that's how I felt when I went there, like the stage and everything was super well lit
and just the whole presentation of it.
Like in terms of life languages, they must have very high producers.
Because it was just amazing.
So everything looked amazing and then the sound, the mix was incredible.
 It was perfection because they know that they're presenting something, you
know what I mean?
So like people are coming to worship and so they want to present A, their worship to the
Lord that is excellent and B, allow people to join in something that's excellent. Does
that make sense?
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, the excellence level across the board and just the way everybody, everybody who spoke, everybody who led worship, you know, everybody that was there.
It didn't seem like there was any question of whether or not they were supposed to be there.
You know what I mean?
So that was which kind of leads me to one of the other things that stood out to me was the identity piece.
Like everybody seemed to have their identity just rooted in the Lord and everything that they did.
It felt like was just like an outflow of that identity.
It wasn't like they were trying to like so if a person was speaking, it didn't ever feel like they were having to convince themselves while they were speaking that they should be speaking.
You know what I mean?

So therefore I have something valuable to say, you know what I mean?
And no arrogance about it, but just I just felt like I was listening with such
I took like over a hundred pages of notes because I was just like, this is so amazing.
I mean, there was one point where I thought he could have said, it's good to tie your
shoes every day.
And I would have written it down thinking, what is this wisdom I have never heard before?

Um, yeah, so those two things were incredible.
Excellent identity.
I think one of the other things that I was really impacted by was that so many of
them, so Brian and Jen and obviously, uh, Bill and Benny Eric, they've all been
at that church for years.
So I remember, uh, the first day being in worship and, you know, I've been a worship
pastor for 12 minutes, I think, when we walked in.
And so the first day we walk in,
and I'm just, I feel like super excited, like,
oh my gosh, Lord, if it was your will to do anything
like this, you know, the production level, all of that.
If you wanted to bring any of that back to our church,
I am willing, you know?
And their first worship said,
I just thought there's no way we can do this.
This is so, this is way too good, you know?
This is who am I but a worm in the dirt,
I should not be a worship pastor.
And I remember it was,
I don't even know what it was related to,
but Brian said, man, we've been doing this 15 years now
and this year just feels amazing.

I can cut myself some slack.
- Yeah.
- A, I can cut myself some slack and B,
I don't need to feel the pressure to churn out this type of result that is that you've
been building for 15 years.
But with that, one of the things that I was so struck by, so I grew up in a church environment
where if the church didn't like the pastor, they could vote you out.
So my dad was a pastor and he didn't get voted out a lot.
Well, he didn't get voted out at all.
other churches their pastor would like get voted out
and then my dad would get hired at that church or something.
Does that make sense?
So we just moved around a lot when we were little.
And so I had never,
kind of thinking about I think this church,
well, there was one church when I was a kid
that I was at for like six years,
but I would say our church now is one of the churches
I've been at the longest.
I just thought all churches were like that.
I thought everybody just moved around
and churches switched pastors a lot and stuff.
So when Brian, when Bill was talking about
how all of them had been there for like 30 years,
in fact, Danny Silk showed a video of his wedding
where Chris Valatin was there
and Bill Johnson and Benny were singing at the wedding
and stuff and I just thought,
you guys have all, you guys have so much history.
So that was, I would say that's the third thing that impacted me so much was just the history that was there.
It was just amazing.
And I think for the first time I thought, oh, being a pastor doesn't mean you're going to have to move a lot or you're going to be shipped from place to place kind of thing.
I don't know.
This is all the things I'm still working out in now being a pastor.
So really.
Let's see.
fourth thing, everyone was super nice, so nice.
I got to meet a lot of people, which was great, but they were all so kind.
That's good to know, isn't it?
It really, I was really impacted by it, like, oh, you know, and I'd say, oh, I'm from Nashville.
Oh, we love Nashville.

There was one person that they said, where are you from?
And I said, I'm from Nashville.

And I was like, I couldn't tell if they were joking.
Turns out they were joking,
but I just didn't get their dry sense of humor.
And I was so worried that I would offend someone
that I just was like, no.
Who told you that?
No, I don't think.
And then I realized they were kidding.
Like, oh, okay.
- Dude, I got some listeners questions for you.
- Oh, absolutely.
- I don't think you can answer the first one,
but I'm pretty sure you can answer the second one.
Okay, the first one says this.
This is from Jordan.
He says, "Good evening or morning or afternoon.
My name is Jordan and I'm writing you from the oven that is Dallas Fort Worth.
Yeah, I don't think we got anything to complain about in Nashville.
I've been to Dallas.
It was 94 degrees today high of.
Yeah.
I wonder what it was in Dallas, probably harder.
My wife and I are huge fans of the podcast.
Thank you so much.
We really appreciate your ministry and how you communicate the way you do life.
Alan mentioned a nervous or mental breakdown in his early twenties.
And I was curious as to whether there's an episode regarding this experience.
And I missed it.
Or if you're all planning to do an episode regarding this topic in the future.
Love you guys keep the good work well Jordan thank you so much for your very kind question.
My whole breakdown in my early twenties is something I regularly include in a lot of
the teaching that I do it's like a test that I talk about when I teach but I have never
really taught in that whole experience per se.
I did look through all our episodes episode 42 talks about how I got saved and how I met
the Holy Spirit which is a much better story.
This is the one you want me to answer.

So yeah, I'm sorry, we don't have a specific episode in that.
Maybe we'll talk about it some point.
Maybe that would be helpful for people.
I have a second question here from Nathan.
He asked this question.
He says, "I heard the teachings on the church, part one and two.
These are the teachings we did at emanate,
which I found very powerful and encouraging,
but some questions were raised.
I bet they were.
I got lots of questions,
and I really appreciate the questions that people wrote in.
I'm going to do my best to get back to you.
I have no plans to leave my church,
and I try and pray for my best to submit to Godly authority.
Yeah, I need wisdom to know when it's healthy or not.
My questions are, and I wanna hear your answers, Josh.
Question one and two are pretty much the same,
but question one is,
how do you know if the church you're attending
is abusive in its authority?
And it may be healthier to leave the church
for a place of greater health and life.
And question two is,
how do I distinguish when I'm not submitting
to Godly authority or God's process versus,
is this church potentially derailing me or being abusive?
- That is a really good question.
- These are the questions I get.
- These are the questions I get.
Can you repeat the question one more time?
I was thinking about Hebrews 13, 17.
It says obey your leaders.
And on face value, that's terrifying for a lot of people.
But the Greek word used for obey there is "patho,"
which means allow yourself to be persuaded by.
So my test is, do your leaders enforce control?
Or do they give you input and then give you
the freedom to make your own decisions?
That's a great point.
So from my perspective, I have enough trouble managing my own life without
trying to manage other people's lives.
And so I'm glad and willing to give input to people
with the understanding that it's their life and they're seeking me out for
council. So I'll give you you don't have to follow it.
Yeah. But I'm privileged that you'd include me in the decision making
process, but it's not my job to make you do something.
And, you know, occasionally in the years I've been pastoring, I might turn up the volume on
on what I'm saying, because I'm either thinking you're not hearing me or you don't realize how
bad a decision this is going to be. But at the end of the day, I absolutely realize this is your
decision to make. And it's not my job to control you. And I think that's a good difference.
And it goes on to say in that same verse, let them do this. So let them lead you. The
onus is on you to let them do it. So they don't. So I'm fully aware that in the people that I'm
leading the people that I'm pastoring, it's not my job to tell them what to do. Right. It's their
job to let me lead them. Right. And so if they don't want to be led by me, in one sense, that's
that's not my job to to to make that happen. I think something that you said a minute ago about
I think a good way to know if your leaders are abusive would be, are they enforcing their leadership
onto you, or are they inviting you to be "governed" by their leadership?
Because an invitation is much different than a being forced.
I think that's a good point because as leaders, it's tough because I've been a leader in the
church for a little while and it's really difficult to want the best for people and sometimes want
the best for people more than they want it. And so I would say there is an actual struggle sometimes
to not move into controlling people's decisions like, "Gosh, would you just do this? You can't see
see it, but I can see how this will help you.
- Right.
- You know what I mean?
So, but you consistently have to hold your hands back
and say, this is actually your life.
This isn't my job to control you or decide for you.
I can only present either information
or if you ask me for help, I can help you,
but you have to decide what to do with it.
- Right, the good news is I don't think there's a thin line
between an honoring leader and an ungodly leader.
I think there's a chasm.
So a lot of the stories that I've heard from people
who think, I don't know if my leader's abusive or not,
as soon as you hear the story, you're like,
oh dear God, that's absolute abuse.

If you don't do this, you know, God's gonna,
you're just like, that is so manipulative,
that's so controlling, that's so clearly
not the heart of God.
But sometimes when you're in the midst of it,
You get caught up in it, which is why it's really, really good to have outside council.
Exactly.
And people who are not vested either way.
Yeah.
I think that's great.
All right.
You ready for question three?
What does it look like to build a better church when church culture is toxic while still
being humble, honoring broken people and leaders and in the will of God?
This is a really great question.
Super easy to answer to.
Absolutely.
- Honestly, it's something that I thought about a lot
because I used to play guitar for a living
and I would travel all over the country
and play in different churches.
And so I'd be in a lot of different church environments.
And like I said before, my dad was a pastor,
so I grew up in a lot of different church environments
'cause we moved around a lot.
I think in all of that, so I've been playing guitar
about 20 years and I've been traveling,
like playing guitar for probably 16 years.
And in all that time, I've not seen a perfect church.

I don't think that there is a perfect church.
I think at some point you have to decide,
God, are you calling me to this church?
Is this my home?
And if so, what's my role here?
Is it just to submit and go and whatever?
Great, is it to invest in my community
and the people around me?
Great, and I think it's much easier
to point fingers and criticize than it is
to actually do something about it.

Like, if a person complains that their church,
that they don't do community well or something,
well, what if you just always believed the best
about you and your leaders and the people around you
and you had people over for dinner once a month.
And then they did the same.
After a couple of years,
your tour is just doing community really well.
You know what I mean?
(laughing)
So I think it's that whole thing
about being part of a solution
rather than consistently just pointing at the problem.
And it's difficult.
Sometimes it's an uphill climb.
But I think if you position in your heart
to just focus on Jesus
and be a part of the solution,
and even if it's super small steps,
like being a nice person
or inviting people over to dinner
or just not complaining
or not giving ear to someone who is complaining
about something they don't like.

- That's really good.
I've been thinking about building about a church a lot.
The last two weeks of study for teaching in the church
just got me so excited about the church.
So thrilled I'm a church leader.
Like I absolutely love it.

I've read my third book this week about churches.
- That's amazing.
- Oh, I'm just loving it.
And so I've been thinking a lot about this.
It's a great question.
I think whenever you talk about a church being toxic,
it's probably time to find a new church.
But before you do that,
it's probably a good idea to ask yourself,
who's determined that it's toxic?
- Yeah, that's good.
- I think probably the key to the question
you're asking is in or healing.
I think healed up leaders are in short supply.

- Right.
- Then your leaders become healthier
and then your body becomes healthier.
- Yeah, it's a lot like eating healthy,
which you and I both obviously do and work out.
You can't keep eating terribly
and expect different results.
- Right.
I think that might be found under do as we say, not as we do.
Right, exactly.
Did you bring the cheetos?
I did.
Oh, I'll prepare over here.
All right, perfect.
The last question--
gosh, Nathan, you asked four questions for the Bryce of One.
This is brilliant.
He asked, is praying daily for my church
enough to cause revival and change of a healthy kind
to happen in church?
I'll tell you what I once heard John Arnott say it
passes meeting.
People would often ask him, why your church?
Why did Toronto end up in revival?
And he said he didn't know.
And people would say, well, are you praying for revival?
And he said, sure, but we weren't praying for revival
more than any other church.
And so I know that prayer for anything is really, really good.
But I also think you can cultivate revival in your own life
far easier than you can revival in an organization,
especially if you're not a leader in that organization.
So by all means, pray for revival for your church
and for your nation.
actually asking the Lord to stir up hunger in your own heart and to, you know, and I don't mean this. This sounds like it's a rebuke.
I'm absolutely not rebuking you. Just in my own personal experience.
It's amazing that when you're having your own personal revival that you think everything else is in revival, even if it isn't.
So sure, go for prayer, but I don't think...
I don't think the question is the right question. I don't think God measures
amounts.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, like by the time you've you've prayed for revivals 68 times, then it'll hit right?
I
Think it's I think it the whole topic of revival. I love it and then I'm also sometimes really confused by it
so one of the things that
Bill Johnson talked about when we were at worship you was talking about how
Your church the way you do worship the length of the sermon all that stuff
All of that is the wine skin, but his presence is the wine and we can't neglect the wine and favor the wine skin
right and at the same way
You can't not take care of your wine skin because it's what supports the wine
so
I've been thinking a lot about like
Revival and just you know, I've had seasons of my life where I just kind of
Lock myself and my closet and just prayed all the time and stuff which is awesome. Those seasons are incredible
but I also wonder about like the other part of
you know what it means to live out the gospel and like helping one another and
praying for one another and I think there's a certain thing about
Not not wanting something just for yourself so much that you forget about the people around you
Does that make sense?
- It does.
- So sometimes when I think about revival,
I'm like, what am I actually praying for?
Am I praying for that stuff would just blow up
and we'd just be at the church all the time?
Like, while that would be cool,
I also am hoping that people's marriages would be great
and that people get good jobs
and aren't in debt anymore.
- You know what I mean?
- So as much as I love revival, sometimes I wonder,
What exactly do I want to happen to this?
Is it just 'cause it's exciting
and it's different from just meeting on Sundays
or is there, you know?
- So much of God that you can't fit them
into one service.
- Right, yeah.
I love all that.
- I think the latter, yeah.
Well, George Parsons,
you do a very good AG Jones impersonation.
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you for taking the time out of your Sunday night

No more than 15 days ago I was still in Belgium as a part of my Erasmus scholarship. Now it is over. I am at home now but at the same time I feel like I am not really there. The Erasmus scholarship is an European scholarship that allows students from european universities to live and study in another European country. I was destined to Belgium.
When I first arrived to Belgium I didn’t really know what I was supposed to do with the time I have been granted in complete independence. So the first thing I did was to go to a party :)
And when I came back to my room, deep in the night and not very sober, I opened my electronic diary and I wrote this simple line: ‘The old ones drink to forget the past, while the young ones drink to forget about the future’. The next morning, or more precisely, in the afternoon I had a thought about this. I didn’t know neither what I wanted to do with my future, nor what I wanted to forget about my past.
I was told about the Erasmus scholarship that it is a time of reflection. A time for making decisions. When you are in you home, at your original country, you submit yourself to daily routines. You lost yourself in the process of living. But when you are taken from that and suddenly throw into a wild, exotic and unknown country where people speaks a language that is unknown to you… that’s like submerging yourself in cold ice.
 The previous years of my life I have been doing the usual stuff. I went to School, then to College and finally to University. But I did that without a purpose. It was just what was expected from me.
It has taken a whole year for me to decide how to answer that question: I want to create something incredible.
I have a very defined idea that I want to implement. I have 22 years of experience in learning environments, from public schools to private colleges and three different universities. I know where I did learn a lot and why.  I know what today students need because I am one of them. I know what professors need because I have been speaking with them about that for years, they are in my family.
And finally, I have been honeying my web development skills for 2 years. I was born to do this.
The name of this secret project is Davinci. It is going to be the best e-learning tool in the world. And it is my gift to my fellow students and my awesome teachers.
Thank you for giving me an awesome education. I hope that with this your work will be even more awesome.
You will hear about it when it is ready :)

With the long-awaited festivities finally here, there is much reminiscing in store, especially for returning alumni. For many, this week is a time to remember the good old days, like walking from class to class through College Green or going out with friends on Court Street.
For Eli Burris, an alumnus who graduated in 2016 and OU’s social media specialist, Homecoming is a time for people to gather and enjoy the familiar sights. Whatever it is, there are stories behind everything for many OU alumnus.
Burris was the 20th person in his family to become a Bobcat, and he couldn’t be more proud. He’s had many family members in the Marching 110, so he always has to watch their performances along with the football game.
“It's just so different, like you have four years of homecoming in high school, and that's really geared towards current students like alumni aren't super involved with high school homecomings,” Burris said. “But Homecoming at OU is all about the alumni.”
Burris said when he was a freshman he didn’t understand the significance of Homecoming. That was before he saw how many young adults, grandparents and grandchildren were lined up along the streets during the parade all to celebrate OU. Burris said his level of involvement in the university also pushed him to enjoy Homecoming more as a student and alumnus.
“I still get emotional when I go and take photos of it now because it's so cool to see so many generations of people all there for the same reason: celebrating OU together,” Burris said.
For some, coming back to Athens is more than a celebration; it’s a reminder of the love they didn’t know they’d find. Jeff Dickson, an alumnus who graduated in 1992, met his wife during his time at OU, and now, three out of his five kids became Bobcats.
For Dickson and for many other alumni, one of the most notable facets of OU is the campus.
“We've always just loved the campus, it's so beautiful,” Dickson said. “If a family comes up toward the campus, just enjoy this time of year especially. It's such a beautiful place when the leaves turn.
Dickson said every time he visits OU, it’s no less of a homecoming. He was thankful for the opportunity to go back and visit his kids when they were all there at the same time.
“When I go back up there, there's always alumni there,” Dickson said. “I just feel like I haven't left.”
As for the week of Homecoming, Dickson, like Burris, always enjoyed going to the football games and watching the Marching 110. Along with the current Marching 110, the Alumni Band also provides a performance, giving a refreshing energy to the parade.
Burris said watching the Alumni Band gives him chills every time and that it can never grow old.
Ellen Boll, an alumna who finished her undergrad in 1988 and graduated with her master’s degree in 1990, agrees with Burris that watching the Alumni Band is a highlight of Homecoming.
Boll said she loves campus in the fall and will take any opportunity to go back, which she often does because her son is a current Bobcat.
“I just always love going back to Athens, Athens is comfort,” Boll said. “It just doesn't exist anywhere else.”
Boll said she hopes students will learn what it means to “come home” after experiencing Homecoming. Burris, Dickson and Boll all believe a new appreciation for Homecoming comes with graduation.
After the absence of Homecoming last year due to the pandemic, it is only hoped the energy and excitement for Homecoming will be doubled.
“It's such a different energy around Homecoming weekend, and in Athens, there's an electric charge in the air,” Burris said. “Even with some other events that have happened, like Welcome Week, I felt an energy that I hadn't felt in a long time.”
For many, this will be their first Homecoming experience, and Burris, Dickson and Boll hope students are able to enjoy the week and fall in love with Athens.
“It really feels like you're coming home,” Burris said.

Nothing here for Today!!!
1. Instant talaq: Unlawful, Unlawful, Unlawful
Context:
- Supreme Court verdict regrading validity of triple talaq.
In news:
- Supreme Court verdict (Main observations):
- Struck down the controversial Islamic practice of instant talaq.
- Talaq is arbitrary and whimsical mode of ending marriage violated Muslim women’s fundamental right to equality.
- Talaq should be erased from the 1,400-year-old Sharia-dictated divorce manual.
- 3:2 majority:
- The verdict was delivered by a 3:2 majority.
- All the five judges agreed on the broad issue of the undesirability of instant talaq, or divorce pronounced in one sitting simply by uttering talaq thrice.
- Main Observations:
- In view of the different opinions recorded, by a majority of 3:2, the practice of ‘talaq-e-biddat’ — triple talaq — is set aside.
- Triple talaq was part of Islamic religious practice for 1,400 years and hence got the protection of the Constitution under Article 25. But at the same time, since most Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh, had abolished triple talaq, it was time the legislature brought a bill to correct the anomaly in personal law.
2. United against triple talaq, divided on legal points
CONTEXT:
- Supreme Court Verdict set the practice of triple talaq as ‘manifestly arbitrary’.
Observations:
- The Court said that triple talaq is not in the Quran. But the Sharia is not what the entire Quran is. It is a mixture of Quran, Hadees and Ijma. This is where they have faulted.
- Chief Justice of India J.S. Khehar used the Supreme Court’s rare and extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 142 to injunct Muslim husbands from divorcing their wives for the next six months through the same instant talaq.
- Supreme Court issued the direction after observing that even theocratic Islamic States had corrected their Shariat to banish instant talaq.
- Supreme Court ordered the government to frame a ruling to address the issue of Muslim women under the yoke of triple talaq.
- Verdict compared triple talaq to social evils such as sati, infanticide and devadasi system, which were cast out by way of legislation and not by judicial orders.
- However, the direction under Article 142 in the minority verdict failed to come alive as the majority of the judges on the Bench set aside instant talaq with immediate effect. This is the clear mandate of Article 14 (equality before law) of the Constitution. India is also committed to eradicate discrimination on the ground of sex.
Basic Information
Article 142: Enforcement of decrees and orders of Supreme Court and unless as to discovery, etc
(1) The Supreme Court in the exercise of its jurisdiction may pass such decree or make such order as is necessary for doing complete justice in any cause or matter pending before it, and any decree so passed or orders so made shall be enforceable throughout the territory of India in such manner as may be prescribed by or under any law made by Parliament and, until provision in that behalf is so made, in such manner as the President may by order prescribe
(2) Subject to the provisions of any law made in this behalf by Parliament, the Supreme Court shall, as respects the whole of the territory of India, have all and every power to make any order for the purpose of securing the attendance of any person, the discovery or production of any documents, or the investigation or punishment of any contempt of itself.
3. It’s good and bad, says AIMPLB
In news:
- The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has interpreted the judgment as “vindication” of its stand that personal laws needed to be protected even as it disagreed with the court’s decision to hold triple talaq as unconstitutional.
- The AIMPLB has decided to hold internal discussions before responding in detail to the judgment, as it had affected the religious rights of minority groups.AIMPLB accused that personal laws cannot be tested by courts on the grounds of violation of fundamental rights.
4. Centre will issue advisory on talaq order compliance
Context:
- SC striking down triple talaq.
In news:
- The home ministry will soon send an advisory to all 29 states and seven Union Territories asking them to monitor the situation and ensure compliance of the Supreme Court’s order declaring triple talaq as void, illegal and unconstitutional.
What next?
- As soon as the home ministry issues an advisory, state governments are likely to sensitise the police and other authorities on the triple talaq issue on how to deal with a Muslim woman’s complaint in case there is a violation.
- The cops can book the violator under domestic violence charges for now, until a proper law is brought by the government in Parliament.
5. Follow NEET for medical admission, SC tells Tamil Nadu
In news:
Supreme Court directive to T.N:
- Complete the counselling process for medical admissions in the State on the basis of the NEET merit list by September 4.
- Previously, T.N state government had passed an ordinance freezing the implementation of NEET in the State for this year.
- Centre rejected the ordinance: on the ground that it would give one particular State undue advantage over the others.
6. Salary hike for college, varsity teachers
In news:
Centre proposal:
- Hike salary of teachers in higher educational institutions.
- Benefit to about eight to nine lakh teachers in higher educational institutions.
- The hike would range from 20-25%.
- The lower level — that of assistant professors — is expected to get a hike of 20%, which will go up at the levels of associate professor and professor.
- The revision will benefit employees of the central universities, State universities and government-funded technical universities.
VS Chauhan Committee:
- The UGC had set up the pay committee under VS Chauhan.
- It had recommended that these be at par with the salaries offered to the government employees by the Seventh Pay Commission.
Category: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Context
- Indian interventionism in Nepal having backfired, the Nepal PM’s visit is an opportunity to raise the level of bilateral ties
- India’s interest to secure its own neighbourhood, and that can only be through letting national politics and governance of the smaller neighbours evolve without interference.
India’s Nepal policy
- India played a valued role in ending the Maoist insurgency in 2006, but the period thereafter was marked by escalating micro-meddling in Nepal’s internal affairs.
- In Constitution-writing, there were attempts to define the new provincial boundaries according to Indian dictates
- The presence of India’s heavy hand contributed to the distortion of consensual governance needed in transitional times.
- India ‘noted’ rather than welcomed the Constitution.
- A society trying to emerge from the April 2015 Great Earthquake was slapped with the punitive Great Blockade
- While keeping silent for years on Nepal’s post-conflict transitional justice process, in 2015 India’s representative in Geneva cynically utilised the forum of the Human Rights Council to influence government change in Kathmandu.
- Indian interlocutors pushed the Nepali Congress to renege on its promise to continue in coalition with the mainstream left Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)
- Indian strategists are seeking ways to get Kathmandu to allow the construction of high dams and deep reservoirs on Nepal’s rivers — for flood control, navigation, urban use and irrigation in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
- New Delhi made deep inroads into Nepal’s political class, but none did it use more than the Madhesbaadi parties
- The Great Blockade, forced the Kathmandu to reach out to Beijing and sign a slew of trade, transit and infrastructural agreements with it.
- Nepal is today better connected by air to Chinese cities than to India.
Matters pending:
- Nepal and India have to concentrate on the numerous matters that need concentration and resolution
- Open border -While it is Nepal’s Left that has traditionally demanded restrictions on the border, the call now rises from the Indian security establishment.
- Massive floods in Nepal plains have also affected downstream areas across the
border. A permanent bilateral mechanism is required to save the plains population of Nepal from
suffering
- The Kosi Barrage and attendant embankments have the possibility of wreaking havoc because siltation of six decades has raised the riverbed within the levees far above the outlying tracts
- The easy answer for the Indian politician is to demand a high dam in the hills of Nepal even as alternatives are not studied, such as redistribution of waters into various older channels of the Kosi in Bihar.
- The rights of migrant Indian labour in Nepal and Nepali labour in India is a topic that rarely comes up
- Border disputes pending between the two countries — at Susta, Kalapani and the ‘tri-junction’ of Lipulekh
- Nepal has planned to sell electricity to India once it has a hydropower surplus.
- But Indian government directive that it will not allow import of electricity other than from power companies with more than 51% Indian equity.
- Neglect by the Kathmandu intelligentsia, such as regarding the impact of demonetisation and the application of Goods and Services Tax on Nepal’s economy and citizenry.
- The arbitrary blockages and go-slow at Indian Customs at border points, the selective use of quarantine for the export of Nepali agricultural produce, the increasing high-handedness of the Sashastra Seema Bal in dealing with Nepalis crossing over.
2. Trump offers India a role in Afghanistan
New U.S. strategy for South Asia:
- unveiled by President Donald Trump
- S. commits troops in Afghanistan for an open-ended period of time.
- Policy sets stage for a new wave of U.S. offensive against Islamist forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
India’s role:
- Trump urged India to play a larger role in providing economic and development assistance to the war-torn Afghanistan.
- Put forward a proposal for India playing a bigger role in the war-torn country to its trade surplus with the United States.
- Key support:
- America would no longer tolerate Pakistan’s policy of harbouring terrorists.
- India is the ninth biggest trading partner of the U.S. and India had a trade surplus of around $26 billion with the U.S. in goods trade alone last year.
3. India to raise visa issue in trade policy meet
Concerns from Indian Side
- The Centre will raise Indian industry’s concerns over the U.S. visa ‘curbs’, during the India-U.S. Trade Policy Forum (TPF) meeting likely in October
- TFP is the premier forum to resolve bilateral trade and investment issues between India and the US
Possible topics of discussion during TFP
- From the US side: the U.S. is expected raise its worries over India’s ‘restrictions’ on e-commerce
- And the ‘challenges’ faced by American innovative industries due to India’s ‘weak’ Intellectual Property Rights regime
- From Indian Side: Indian government is likely to raise the issue of the ‘non-tariff barriers’ by the U.S. that are hurting Indian agriculture, pharmaceuticals and other industrial exports
1. ‘Uranium sale talks at advanced stage’
In news:
Australian government body’s top official report:
- Discussions are at a ‘well-advanced’ stage for Australia’s uranium sale to India, to fuel nuclear power plants in the energy-starved developing nation.
- Coal exports will not slow down any time soon from Australia for use in India’s thermal power stations.
2. Pfizer gets Indian pneumonia vaccine patent in blow to aid group, Panacea
In news:
- India has granted Pfizer Inc. a patent for its powerful pneumonia vaccine Prevenar 13.
- Consequence of the decision:
- Blow to some health groups that said this would put the treatment out of reach of thousands in poorer nations.
- The decision by India’s patent office bars other companies from making cheaper copies of the vaccine and allows Pfizer to exclusively sell it in India until 2026.
- The patent grant means Indian companies won’t be able to make the vaccine for domestic use, or exports.
- The decision also has international implications, as several poorer nations rely on India’s robust drugs industry to supply cheaper copies of medicines and vaccines.
- Key Fact:
- Pfizer’s vaccine protects children and adults from 13 types of pneumococcal bacteria, and a full vaccination course costs about $170 on India’s private market.
- India started giving out the vaccine for free under its national immunisation program earlier this year, but the rollout like that of most vaccines in the program, is in phases, so only about 2.1 million of the 25 million eligible people in the country will get it this year.
- India has the world’s largest number of pneumonia cases, a lung disease that kills nearly a million children a year globally.
3. FDI jumps 37% to $10.4 billion during April-June 2017
In news:
- Foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country grew by 37 per cent to USD 10.4 billion during the first quarter of the current fiscal
- Since the launch of ‘Make in India’ initiative (October 2014 – June this year), foreign inflows jumped 64 per cent to USD 110.12 billion from USD 67.26 billion in the same period last year.
- Sectors which attracted the highest foreign inflows include services, telecom, trading, computer hardware and software and automobile.
- Bulk of the FDI came in from Singapore, Mauritius, the Netherlands and Japan.
- The government has announced several steps to attract foreign inflows.The measures include liberalisation of FDI policy and improvement in business climate.
Importance of FDI in India:
- India needs around USD 1 trillion for overhauling its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth.
- A strong inflow of foreign investments will help improve the country s balance of payments situation
- It will strengthen the rupee value against other global currencies, especially the US dollar.
4. Govt puts urad, moong dal imports under restricted category
In news:
- The government on Monday put imports of urad and moong dal under the restricted category and fixed a cap for its in-bound shipments up to three lakh tonnes.
- India is the world’s largest pulse producer and importer.
- Earlier this month, the government had also put imports of pigeon peas and toor dal under the restricted category.
- This restriction will not apply to the government’s import commitments under any bilateral and regional agreement.
How this restriction will help?
- The move will help in stabilising domestic prices that have fallen below the minimum support level and are hurting farmers.

1. N.
- The soiled-dwelling species, discovered by scientists from the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in Hyderabad, has been named after the Indian herpetologist Bhupathy.
- Location: Bhupathy’s purple frog inhabits the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats, near the Srivilliputhur Grizzled Giant Squirrel Wildlife Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu.
Evidence in favor of continental drift theory :
- The discovery is significant as it constitutes additional evidence in favour of the theory of continental drift.
- The Purple frog is an inhabitant of Seychelles, and the discovery of Bhupathy’s purple frog in India suggests that the Indian subcontinent was part of the ancient landmass of Gondwana before splitting from Seychelles 65 million years ago.

Here’s a list of the essential and more common DOM Node
APIs. It is important to know how to traverse and manipulate the DOM in vanilla JS without jQuery.
Properties
Node.childNodes
- Returns a live NodeList
containing all the children of this node. NodeList
being live means that if the children of the Node change, the NodeList
object is automatically updated.Node.firstChild
Node.lastChild
Node.nextSibling
- Returns a Node
representing the next node in the tree, or null
if there isn’t such a node.Node.nodeName
- DIV
, SPAN
, etc. Note that it is in upper case in HTML documents, and has the same value as Element.tagName
.Node.parentNode
- Returns a Node
that is the parent of this node. If there is no such node, like if this node is the top of the tree or if it doesn’t participate in a tree, this property returns null
.Node.parentElement
- Returns an Element
that is the parent of this node. If the node has no parent, or if that parent is not an Element
, this property returns null
.Node.previousSibling
- Returns a Node
representing the previous node in the tree, or null
if there isn’t such a node.Node.textContent
- Returns / Sets the textual content of an element and all its descendants.Methods
Node.appendChild(node)
- Adds the specified node
argument as the last child to the current node. If the argument referenced an existing node on the DOM tree, the node will be detached from its current position and attached at the new position.Node.cloneNode(node)
- Clone a Node
, and optionally, all of its contents. By default, it clones the content of the node.Node.contains(node)
- Returns a Boolean
value indicating whether a node is a descendant of a given node or not.Node.hasChildNodes()
- Returns a Boolean
indicating if the element has any child nodes, or not.Node.insertBefore(newNode, referenceNode)
- Inserts the first Node
before the reference node as a child of the current node. If referenceNode
is null
, the newNode
is inserted at the end of the list of child nodes.Node.removeChild(node)
- Removes a child node from the current element, which must be a child of the current node.Node.replaceChild(newChild, oldChild)
- Replaces one child node of the specified node with another node.Here’s a list of the essential and more common DOM Element
APIs. It is important to know how to traverse and manipulate the DOM in vanilla JS without jQuery.
Properties
Element.attributes
- Returns a NamedNodeMap
object containing the assigned attributes of the corresponding HTML element.Element.classList
- Returns a DOMTokenList
containing the list of class attributes.
DOMTokenList.add(String [, String])
- Add specified class values. If these classes already exist in attribute of the element, they are ignored.DOMTokenList.remove(String [, String])
- Remove specified class values.DOMTokenList.toggle(String [, force])
- Toggle specified class value. If second argument is present and evaluates to true
, add the class value, else remove it.DOMTokenList.contains(String)
- Checks if specified class value exists in class attribute of the element.Element.className
- A DOMString
representing the class of the element.Element.id
Element.innerHTML
- Returns a DOMString
representing the markup of the element’s content or parse the content string and assigns the resulting nodes as children of the element.Element.tagName
- DIV
, SPAN
, etc. Note that it is in upper case in HTML documents, and has the same value as Node.nodeName
.Methods
EventTarget.addEventListener(type, callback, options)
- Registers an event handler to a specific event type on the element. Read up more on the options
here.EventTarget.removeEventListener(type, callback, options)
- Removes an event listener from the element. Read up more on the options
here.Element.closest(selectors)
- Returns the closest ancestor of the current element (or the current element itself) which matches the selectors given in parameter. If there isn’t such an ancestor, it returns null
.Element.getElementsByClassName(classNames)
- Returns a live HTMLCollection
that contains all descendants of the current element that possess the list of classes given in the parameter.Element.getElementsByTagName(tagName)
- Returns a live HTMLCollection
containing all descendant elements, of a particular tag name, from the current element.Element.querySelector(selectors)
- Returns the first Node
which matches the specified selector string relative to the element.Element.querySelectorAll(selectors)
- Returns a NodeList
of nodes which match the specified selector string relative to the element.ChildNode.remove()
- Removes the element from the children list of its parent. TODO: Check whether it’s Element
or ChildNode
.Element.setAttribute(attrName, value)
- Sets the value of a named attribute of the current node.Element.removeAttribute(attrName)
- Removes the named attribute from the current node.document.getElementById(id)
- An Element object, or null if an element with the specified ID is not in the document.document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', callback)
DOMContentLoaded
event is fired when the initial HTML document has been completely loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading. Similar to jQuery.ready()
but different because $.ready
will execute immediately if the DOMContentLoaded
event has already fired.document.readyState === 'interactive'
.window.onload = function() {}
window
’s load
event is only fired after the DOM and all assets have loaded.document.readyState === 'complete'
.What’s the difference between Node.children
and Node.childNodes
?
Node.children
returns a live HTMLCollection
of the child elements
of Node
. Node.childNodes
returns a NodeList
, an ordered collection of DOM nodes that are children of the current Element
. childNodes
includes all child nodes, including non-element nodes like text and comment nodes. To get a collection of only elements, use Node.children
instead.
What’s the difference between NodeList
and HTMLCollection
?
A NodeList
can contain any node type, but an HTMLCollection
is supposed to only contain Element
nodes. HTMLCollection
is always live and is a superset of NodeList
. NodeList
need not be live.
How do you convert an HTMLCollection
or NodeList
into an array?
const nodelist = document.querySelectorAll('div');
// Array.from
const divArray = Array.from(nodelist);
// Array.prototype.slice
const divArray2 = Array.prototype.slice.call(nodelist); // or .apply
// ES2015 Spread
const divArray3 = [...nodeList];

In the preceding example, we took advantage of the resolution of modules from their paths (remember
how we loaded dep.js
simply by asking RequireJS to resolve the dependency dep
?).
Typically, this is the right thing to do but my examples from here on out will be easier to demonstrate if I use named modules -- so I'm going to introduce that concept first.
Up until now, we've defined modules like so:
define(['dependency', 'otherdependency'], function(dep1, dep2) { // magic happens! });
And the file location has determined the name of the module.
But we can insert another argument at the start of that definition to explicity state the name of the module:
define('someModule', ['dependency', 'otherdependency'], function(dep1, dep2) { // magic happens! });
You might be wondering why... The simplest answer is because RequireJS has a bundling mechanism which can pack all of your scripts into one giant file (minified), and then there are no paths to resolve modules with -- so modules need names. In that case, the RequireJS bundler automatically names your modules for you, based on their paths. Indeed, if you're going to use the preferred strategy of one file per module, I'd highly recommend NOT naming your modules.
If you're going to do your own scoping (like I will from here on out), or your own bundling mechansim (like using ASP.NET's MVC bundling), then you can take advantage of the fact that you can manually name your modules.
The question might also arise as to what strategy to take with respect to bundling. Of course, the situation should direct you (and here's my opinion, which is just that: an opinion):

Someone wants to sell me some pungo?
i have an order on hyperdex
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 09:21 PM
seems we have a winner?
SadykovT28-Dec-18 09:50 PM

who made the trade ?
Senda28-Dec-18 09:52 PM

SadykovT28-Dec-18 10:02 PM
I think it was a test swap when adding a token to Hyperdex.
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 10:06 PM
yes also thought about it
KomodoWorld28-Dec-18 10:32 PM
guys, there's something very strange in Agama wallet. I read about the airdrop so I added Pungo in native mode, or I believed it was, it has green logo with the name Pungo (PGT). It downloaded the blockchain pretty fast, but then the orange symbol 'native' changed to the green 'erc20' . From the activate coin menu there's a Puregold Token (PGT) , it seems a conflict between it and Pungo
in fact they have the same logo
I must have added the wrong one
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 10:44 PM
I was actually adding it in light mode and couldnt find it
but guess I should switch to native mode
KomodoWorld28-Dec-18 10:46 PM
I was using native, maybe in lite mode it works
I found that if I try adding Pungo in native it always add the Erc20 one
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 10:48 PM
I have used in lite mode, seems problem is in native, will try now
KomodoWorld28-Dec-18 10:50 PM
restarted Agama, same issue. Both have same logo and ticker and it adds the Erc20 with either choice
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 11:14 PM
agama marks it as ERC20 but just sent PGT and it gets it
hehe
Senda28-Dec-18 11:54 PM
@kimmel (Pungo.io) can you see my buy order 0'4 kmd for 2 PGT?
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 11:54 PM
no
@Senda
Senda28-Dec-18 11:55 PM
I don't understand
I see orders on other coins
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 11:55 PM
let me check again
the thing is I dont see any coin offers
Senda28-Dec-18 11:56 PM
On ZEC i see buy orders for example
kimmel (Pungo.io)28-Dec-18 11:58 PM
I think I saw yours before
let me check
@Senda
Senda28-Dec-18 11:59 PM
Ok
kimmel (Pungo.io)29-Dec-18 12:01 AM
I see this one
0.04508351 0.41792415 0.41792415
pgt sell order
Senda29-Dec-18 12:02 AM
Yes i see the same
My buy offer is 0'4 kmd for 1 pgt
kimmel (Pungo.io)29-Dec-18 12:04 AM
this one seems different
its a sell offer to sell pgt
Van29-Dec-18 01:25 AM

Instel730-Dec-18 09:38 AM
Someone here? One user called @jony#9693 wrote on Chainzilla's "General-discussion" channel, he said that pungo "stole" his zilla from your wallet. His profile looks weird. I thought he was a bot for his profile picture but apparently not. It would be nice if some of you guys could read what he wrote, you can access to the discussion without leaving komodos channel, joining #chainzilla
Senda30-Dec-18 09:45 AM
@Instel7 yes it's something strange. And now he say it's closed without no explanation...
@discord-9LhDSask4qpuWa4Syh they airdroped 10 pungo to all addresses with more than 10 kmd

discord-9LhDSask4qpuWa4Syh30-Dec-18 09:47 AM
oh
10 Pungo
ok
Instel730-Dec-18 09:49 AM
Yes @Senda it's a little weird
Here at my country is late and I have to go, let me know if you can figure something
Senda30-Dec-18 09:51 AM
Good night
jspook1630-Dec-18 05:05 PM
@Senda yeah it definitely was NOT the the pungo wallet. I think it was user error

kimmel (Pungo.io)30-Dec-18 05:47 PM
hey @Instel7 jony reinstalled the wallet and worked fine
Elmis30-Dec-18 05:56 PM
I cant find any token of the airdrop in my Agama wallet . Did you have to fulfill any other condition besides having more than 10 kmd to receive the airdrop?
Do the kmd stored in Ledger wallet also participate in the airdrop?

@jl777c bisq the decentralised exchange use of tor and komodo decentralised exchange for normal user its trade off and advantages over other...(edited)
KomodoWorld09-Nov-18 05:10 PM
Bisq is for fiat/crypto and web based, BarterDEX is crypto/crypto and a p2p app
plazma09-Nov-18 05:13 PM
@KomodoWorld wait isn't bisq have an app of p2p and does BarterDEX have better privacy....how will u rank it in terms of privacy attack vectors....
KomodoWorld09-Nov-18 05:15 PM
sorry I was confusing Bisq with HodlHodl
Bisq doesn't do atomic swaps, it has an escrow system and does arbitrage in case of dispute
BarterDEX is direct trading that either happens or doesn't happen
plazma09-Nov-18 05:18 PM
@KomodoWorld correct in bisq u also need a tiny amount of btc to hold as security....new user with no btc like me can't even use bisq
KomodoWorld09-Nov-18 05:19 PM
fiat/crypto ramps without KYC are hard to do
have you tried hodlhodl? I don't think it requires a small security deposit
once you're in, you can continue trading without limitations

@Regnar if I'm not mistaken opid is Agama internal operation id created before even tx is sent. opid not visible on the block explorer, but visible in the wallet. After tx is created there is just tx id which is visible on block explorer and can be seen publickly.

for z tx it takes time to create valid z tx, so before you got tx id there is opid. For other wallets the time diff is small enough not to bother with opid probably.

Since its launch in June 2015, Apple Music has grown into a popular streaming service among Apple aficionados. At $9.99 per month for an individual account, $4.99 per month for a student plan, and $14.99 per month for a family (of up to six people) plan, Apple Music lets you stream more than 50 million songs, listen to playlists created by music experts, and tune into the 24/7 Beats 1 radio station to hear tunes selected by DJs from around the world.
You can listen to Apple Music via your Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, Android device, newer Apple TVs, and even on the web. And you can try the service for free for three months. That sounds cool, but what if it's not everything you wanted? Perhaps it's too expensive, or you don't listen enough to justify the cost. Maybe another music streaming service has stolen your heart and your ears. Whatever the reason, you want to cancel your membership. Here's how to say goodbye to Apple Music.
