Hero of the Week: June 15, 2026: Ricardo Oskam, Vanessa Harlander, and the Solari Builders Solari’s inaugural course for the Solari Builders (name change from Young Builders), started by Ricardo Oskam and Vanessa Harlander, is now transitioning to an ongoing network with monthly meetings and future events. The course concept builds on one of the basic premises of Solari’s Building Wealth curriculum—that building living and financial equity requires an accurate map of reality and mastery of a wide set of skills. We congratulate Ricardo, Vanessa, and the Solari team for their superlative job shepherding an impressive group of 28 Builders through the pilot course, which consisted of both online and in-person offerings. The weekly online lecture-discussions covered topics such as investing, economics, politics, local activism, health, science, design, art, and culture. The sophistication on display during the lively question-and-answer portions of these sessions was truly inspiring. Complementing the online component, there was a highly successful in-person gathering this spring in Florida, with a second gathering forthcoming in Italy. Several Builders have joined additional gatherings and Meet and Greets as Catherine, Ricardo, and the Solari team travel throughout the United States. For young adults who are generally saturated with screen time, there is little doubt that the opportunity to connect in person with like-minded Builders was not only a course highlight but also the catalyst for an enduring and supportive network that will help course graduates continue to participate in ongoing activities and thrive. Solari is gearing up to accept a new round of applications in July. We invite the potential Solari Builders in your midst to apply!

If it does not apply to Blue Sky then it's all about shepherding people not protecting children! Remember the left abandoned X because they lost the debate on a free speech platform. They formed Blue Sky, because they wanted an echo chamber!

Forgetting Kamiya is there and has sufficient experience shepherding younger blood for A DMC reboot having built both Bayonetta and DMC souls ?

He's Christian, you're not. May God see fit to take the old and weak that you are shepherding to hell away from you.

“Everyone is shepherding you. Politicians Influencers Algorithms Advertisers Social media Every day someone is telling you what success, happiness, freedom, and love should look like. The question isn’t whether you’ll follow. It’s whom you’ll follow” homilyonthespot.com/2026/06/…

It's really amazing. The banksters are shepherding the west right over the cliff. Everyone is asleep and mesmerized by the momentum stocks

Cyrus was God's shepherd (Is. 44:28), shepherding Israel back into their land after 70 years of captivity. Trump is God's servant for life (Deut. 15:17), doing several things to set the table for the second coming .

she's great at shepherding.

There’s an absurd gamble going on over the future of your children and grandchildren. Politicians are betting those lives on the following: Either Elon Musk and other entrepreneurs trying to create the budding Solar System space industry, and such businessmen who become trillionaires in any industry, will put their fortunes to work in a way that will benefit mankind, or not… -or- The government will “end trillionaires and billionaires” by taxing them down to net worth of under $1 billion, and spend that money in such a way that will benefit mankind, or not. Imagine it this way. Let’s say Elon reaches a ripe old age and is now planning for a future without him running his companies. Let’s say he has met all of the nearly unachievable requirements he agreed to for actual payout, and generally continued not only his unprecedented success, but accelerated all along the way, and so his planning involves not just how to try to replace himself within these businesses, but also what to do with a personal fortune of, say, $5 Trillion (in this scenario I could have pulled a substantially higher number out of the air, but let’s just say $5T). Even if you disagree with his priorities (you’d rather fund a billions of sex change operations I guess) … No wait, one must dwell on that a bit. What exactly does even a far Lefty disagree with Elon about? 1. Emissions-free transportation… 2. Curing paralysis, blindness, deafness, and other brain/nerve disorders… 3. Creating AI in a way that won’t destroy us, and will be maximally truth-seeking… 4. Several other causes I should remember at this moment, but can’t, which are only possible to be against if you are Satan incarnate… (generally anything involving curing people, saving people, and making sure humanity lives after the sun itself expires … examples include providing Starlink free in emergency zones, shifting production to respirators during Covid, rescuing astronauts, etc. so I guess I remembered some). 5. Space exploration and colonization… ? Maybe it’s that last one. The Left seem to often be somewhat or all the way against doing anything in space. They shift the goalposts on a whim, like they do with everything nowadays. But your typical steeped-in-envy socialist Lefty coming right out of college today just sees money being spent that they’d rather have coming to them, because as many thousands of people as Elon employ’s and pays well, he damn sure isn’t hiring them. Oddly, horrendously selfish of them to take the space age away from the rest of us, but at least there’s a drop of sincerity there. They seem to sincerely believe space is a waste, and even a form of turning our back on the environment (in spite of Elon’s history in the reduction of gas powered vehicles planet-wide). This is a vision of shepherding Earth and humanity as long as possible until the sun expires and our planet with it. As Faulkner put it, while immediately rejecting the vision: “…that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.” Is it any wonder the Left’s vision of the far future is so bleak, it’s even infected their vision of tomorrow? They are actually discouraging people from having children. This is nothing less than suicide. So which way do you want to gamble? Would you rather see just how horrendously politicians can spend all that money without achieving a single step toward a high future for your descendants? Really? Or would you like to see what Elon, and those who would stand on his shoulders if we let them, do? If it isn’t obvious by now, there is no middle option. How do we know this? One number: $40 Trillion. That’s the U.S. debt alone, and climbing fast. The Left sees misery everywhere, after a century of getting everything they wanted. How is this still even a choice?

This guy was shepherding. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Yes. Men are responsible for their own sins. The church is responsible for shepherding. Condemning is easy. Giving Biblical solutions to what people face when they leave church is the hard part. The church hasn’t provided any Biblical solutions so they look elsewhere for answers.

Whats constantly changing in the Chrisitan realm? In the Christian realm, the truth of Christ is not changing, but the world around the Church is changing constantly. Jesus Christ does not change. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” — Hebrews 13:8 NIV But these things are changing fast: Technology and discipleship AI, apps, online preaching, livestreams, Bible tools, and social media are reshaping how people pray, study, preach, evangelize, and get spiritual advice. Barna reports that about four in ten practicing Christians say AI has helped them with prayer, Bible study, or spiritual growth, while many pastors still feel unsure how to teach about it. The center of global Christianity Christianity is no longer mainly “Western” in its visible growth. The Church keeps shifting toward Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Global South. Research on world Christianity points to this continuing shift, including the growing importance of Christian-Muslim relations and African Christianity. Pentecostal and charismatic growth Spirit-filled Christianity continues to grow worldwide. Pentecostal and charismatic movements have expanded dramatically over the last century and are projected to keep growing. Persecution and pressure In many nations, following Jesus is becoming more dangerous. Open Doors’ World Watch List continues tracking the countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. Confusion over doctrine People are constantly debating sexuality, gender, Israel, prophecy, politics, church authority, women in ministry, spiritual gifts, deconstruction, hell, judgment, holiness, and repentance. Some debates are sincere; others are signs that many want Christianity without the cross. Church attendance patterns Some churches are shrinking, some are growing, and many people are moving between in-person church, online church, home groups, and private spirituality. The form keeps changing, but the need for fellowship, worship, correction, and discipleship has not changed. The relationship between faith and politics Christianity is constantly being pulled into political identity, nationalism, activism, culture wars, and public policy fights. That makes discernment urgent, because the Church must not confuse the kingdom of God with any earthly party or nation. Media-driven spirituality A lot of believers are being shaped more by clips, influencers, podcasts, prophetic channels, and algorithms than by Scripture, prayer, holiness, and mature shepherding. That is one of the biggest changes: many people are being discipled by whatever keeps their attention. The battle over holiness Porn, compromise, entertainment, anger, pride, greed, prayerlessness, and spiritual numbness are pressing hard against Christians. The temptation is modern, but the command is ancient: repent, abide in Christ, be filled with the Spirit, and obey the Word. The hunger for something real At the same time, many believers are tired of shallow religion. They want truth, prayer, repentance, deliverance, Scripture, reverence, and the fear of God. That is hopeful. The main thing constantly changing is the battlefield. The main thing not changing is the Lord. The Church must keep adjusting its methods without changing its Master. The tools may change. The culture may change. The pressure may change. But holiness, repentance, prayer, Scripture, the blood of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Great Commission, judgment, eternal life, and Christ’s return do not change.

Pastors, let us remain sensitive to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit. We are shepherding God’s people through unprecedented times, where discernment is not optional…it is essential.
