In this show we discuss the 6th of 8 forms of capital first discussed by Ethan C. Roland of Appleseed Permaculture
which is intellectual capital. Here is an outline of what is discussed.
What is Intellectual Capital: The knowledge that you have on any particular subject specifically and all things combined generally.
Some benefits of intellectual capital
Cannot be taken away
A tornado can wipe out your material capital
An economic depression can wipe out financial capital
A drought or plague can wipe our your living capital
But unless you have an accident and get amnesia or acquire alzheimers at your old age you will not loose you intellectual capital
Can be acquired readily today by use of the internet
There is so much information available today through the internet.
There are whole courses on subjects
There classics online in audio and eBook form
YouTube how to..
Can bring leverage to all the other assets
For example, the knowledge on how to increase your rabbit yield will help your living capital
The knowledge of economic cycles can help increase your financial capital.
Some things to consider
Intellectual capital must be applied to be most valuable
A PhD with our experience and application is simply a piece of paper.
Investing in intellectual capital is one of the few forms of capital that is concentrated on one own self development which results in a exponential benefit.
For example, if you invest some financial capital to acquire some living capital like some fruit trees that is a trade of one thing for another of personal property.
Where as if you invest some financial capital into some books that you read and apply what is learned in those books you and that to which you apply the knowledge benefits.

In this episode I am talk about something that is a passionate issue for me but sadly is overlooked by many in our society and the church and that is the issue of war and its devastation. Since September 11, 2001 we have been at war against terror which means for the last decade we have been at war. This can take an enormous toll on this nation and every other nation with which we have dealings. I have included a video from costsofwar.org as part of this blog and podcast to help us understand the enormity of this issue. The question I want us to think about in this post is what kind of legacy are we building as a nation and as a people with all this war?

In this episode you will hear a short discussion about sixteen principles that we try to follow in our home to keep order. Many of these principles are direct applications from the ten commands and others are general biblical principles. Some of them are simply practical. My goal is that you take these and adapt them to your home to help order your household. The sixteen principles discussed are:
You will seek the Glory God above all else.
You will be treated to the level of your displayed maturity
You will reap what we sow.
You will be responsible for your own and others property that you use.
You will speak the truth to one another in love.
You will complete your work before you play.
You will get more freedom as you show more responsibility.
You will obey your parents; quickly, completely, and joyfully
You will treat others kindly according to the golden rule.
You will limit your actions according to the environment.
You will be generous with your time and possessions
You will be courageous in your attempts
You will engage in constructive activities when you have idle time on your hands
You will use the computer for production, instruction, or communication (except for the one hour of electronic entertainment per day.)
You will not expect equal shares or fairness
You will disciple yourself to follow these principles or be disciplined by someone else.
In this episode you will hear a recording of the message I preached at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church this past Lord's Day. The text for the message is Genesis 22 where Abraham is asked by God to go to the land of Moriah and offer Isaac the son of promise as an offering. Some of the implications of the text are:
We must Obey God even if we don’t fully understand.
God will not have us do Contrary to His character.
God will Provide for what He asks us to do.
Tested Faith bring about Blessing
The pattern of the events are repeated in a more redemptive way 2400 years later when the Father offered His beloved Son as a Substitutionary atonement for His people.
On any given Sunday morning in churches across America the family is segregated into different worship services. Typically, if the children are in the "adult worship service" at all it is only for the first part where there is a lot of singing and then they are dismissed to "children's church". In some churches the children are not in the "adult worship service" at all. I believe that this is the exact opposite of what needs to be done if we are going to leave a spiritual legacy. So in this show I briefly discuss seven reason why the children should be with the adults during worship. If you want to raise children who love the Lord and Love to worship God you don't want to miss this episode.
