In Extreme Cities, Ashley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change, contributing the lion's share of carbon to the atmosphere, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. Today, the majority of the world's megacities are located in coastal zones, yet few of them are adequately prepared for the floods that will increasingly menace their shores. Instead, most continue to develop luxury waterfront condos for the elite and industrial facilities for corporations. These not only intensify carbon emissions, but also place coastal residents at greater risk.

When God speaks, things happen. His Words never expire, and His Words accomplish great things. He said He loved the world, and He gave His Son Jesus. And whosoever believes in Jesus shall not perish, and shall have everlasting life. The one main reason why this promise is not realized in our hearts is that we hold back a portion of our heart and a portion of our life and say, this is mine. Let it go and surrender and God will be faithful to His Word because He is the Promise Keeper. Welcome to Promise Keeper

Showing Promise is a general-discussion podcast "hosted" by me, Matt. I had the idea of making a podcast back in 2021, and in true perfectionist fashion, I kind of actually sort of started working on it in 2022. If you know me, you know I talk a lot, so this felt like a logical outlet for all those words.Episodes often drift toward music (because I love it), but really, anything goes. I just enjoy talking to people. So, while there’s no set theme or schedule—to heck with the algorithm—you can expect frequent banter, colorful commentary, and the occasional crass detour. Sometimes it's me ...
