Mind the depths of God's Word and ignite your faith with pray.com's new podcast, the heartbeat of faith with me, Dr. Andrew Farley.

The beast raged against him, but he was not equal to the Lord of Lords.

God's chosen hero, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, had defeated evil once and for all.

Listen to the heartbeat of faith on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the new corner office, the podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the new world of work,

where location and hours are more flexible than in the past.

Today's tip is about how to have virtual get-togethers.

The basic rule is that any virtual social occasion needs to be facilitated.

In other words, book clubs, beat happy hours.

So the Zoom happy hour became a bit of a pandemic cliche over the past few months.

teams tried to replicate what they could of office culture.

So if you all would have gone out for drinks, you all instead would make yourself a drink and then drink it in front of your laptop screen,

In a bar, you can separate out into two to three person conversations, and move fluidly between them.

The same number of people on Zoom are generally trying to have one conversation,

Other people get bored, and hope it is all over soon.
