In this conversation, Josh shares how his church is actively using AI across nearly every department—from sermon preparation and curriculum creation to operations, worship ministry, and discipleship. He offers a practical vision for how church leaders can use AI to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and focus more deeply on shepherding people.   Key Topics   AI in the church: fear vs. opportunity Josh argues that many church leaders are approaching AI with unnecessary fear. While concerns around ethics and implementation are valid, he sees AI primarily as a tool—one that can dramatically increase effectiveness while freeing leaders to focus on ministry. He believes churches that embrace these tools thoughtfully will be able to pastor more effectively, not less.   Why churches are historically slow to adopt technology Churches and nonprofits are often years behind the business world when it comes to adopting new technology. Josh believes AI is creating one of the largest technological shifts of our generation, and many church leaders risk missing opportunities simply because they haven't taken time to understand what's actually possible.   Scaling ministry without losing community One of the most intriguing ideas discussed is whether AI can help churches scale without sacrificing the personal connection that often disappears as organizations grow. Instead of hiring more specialists for every operational challenge, churches may soon be able to use AI systems to maintain consistency, communication, and care at a much larger scale.   AI as a team of specialists Rather than thinking of AI as a chatbot, Josh encourages leaders to think of it as an entire team of specialists available on demand. Administrative support, curriculum development, data analysis, planning, project management, and content creation can all be assisted by AI, allowing pastors to spend more time on teaching, discipleship, and relationships.   The future of church software The conversation explores how tools like Planning Center, HubSpot, Notion, Logos, MultiTracks, and other church software platforms will likely become deeply integrated with AI through technologies like APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of manually moving information between platforms, leaders will increasingly interact with a single AI layer that understands and works across their entire ministry ecosystem.   How Josh uses AI for sermon planning Josh shares his personal workflow for annual sermon planning and weekly sermon preparation. What once required multiple staff meetings and days of planning can now be completed in minutes. He uses AI to help organize ideas, structure teaching series, review theological themes, and accelerate sermon preparation while maintaining full ownership over theological convictions and final content.   Using AI without losing your voice One of the biggest concerns among pastors is whether AI will replace authentic preaching. Josh argues that AI works best as a collaborator rather than a creator. By training AI on previous sermons, theological frameworks, and ministry values, leaders can use it to refine and organize their ideas while still maintaining their unique voice and convictions.   Curriculum creation and discipleship workflows Vineyard uses AI extensively to create small group curriculum, discipleship resources, class materials, slide decks, teacher guides, and parent resources. Tools like NotebookLM help transform existing content into multiple formats, dramatically reducing preparation time while increasing consistency across ministries.   AI-powered worship ministry Worship and production teams are also leveraging AI. Josh and his worship pastor discuss using tools like Suno to create custom music, countdown tracks, and ministry-specific content. They also explore future possibilities for creating custom stems, backing tracks, and other resources that could significantly reduce production workload.   The ethics of AI and transparency Throughout the conversation, Josh emphasizes the importance of transparency. Leaders should be honest about where AI is assisting their work while recognizing that many forms of ministry have always involved collaboration, research assistance, editors, and support staff. The key is maintaining integrity while leveraging powerful new tools.   A leveling of the playing field for small churches Perhaps the most exciting implication is what AI means for under-resourced churches. Pastors who lack staff, consultants, formal training, or large budgets can now access tools that help bridge those gaps. Josh believes AI may become one of the most powerful ministry equalizers the Church has ever seen.   Notable tools mentioned   • Claude • ChatGPT • Gemini • NotebookLM • Planning Center • HubSpot • Notion • Logos Bible Software • Suno • Zapier • MultiTracks • Google Workspace   Key Quote   "Imagine if you could free up 15 hours of your week to spend more time making sure the people in your church who are most forgotten actually get seen."   • • • • •   Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

Time is one of the most valuable resources in education, especially in an uncertain funding landscape that demands more with less. Yet many teachers, principals, district leaders, and higher education administrators spend countless hours responding to reporting requirements that are often duplicative, fragmented, or outdated.  How can education leaders distinguish between reporting requirements that inform better decisions and those that simply add to the workload? And how can they reduce this administrative burden to devote more time and energy to supporting students?  In this episode of Leading Voices, Kelsey Krausen, Director of Education Finance at WestEd, shares what's driving administrative burden across education and what district and state leaders can do to reduce it.  How We Can Help  WestEd partners with districts, institutions of higher education, states, and Tribal governments to build effective organizational and policy structures that improve student learning opportunities and outcomes. Learn more about the support Krausen and her team provide.  From the Episode   Cut the Clutter: How Nevada Is Changing Reporting Requirements to Support Smarter School Funding, WestEd  Nevada Department of Education reducing school paperwork, Nevada Appeal

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are an emerging and fast-developing area of immunotherapy, particularly in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, access to this therapy remains limited, particularly for Veterans. Administrative hurdles and challenging adverse events have slowed adoption of BsAbs in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Nicholas Burwick, MD, hematologist in the Puget Sound VA Health Care System, about how his VA site tackled these challenges and made BsAbs available to its patient population through a collaborative hub-and-spoke model.  Guest: Nicholas Burwick, MD President, Association of VA Hematology/Oncology Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Puget Sound VA Health Care System "We set expectations, we came up with a plan, and we didn't have too many bispecific antibody patients at the same time. At least initially, we wanted some control." — Nicholas Burwick, MD  "The collaboration among different VA centers has been something that I've come to appreciate. We have a heme malignancy group, for example, so we can compare notes, work together, and in some cases even collaborate on VA initiative proposals or industry-sponsored clinical trials." — Nicholas Burwick, MD Resources: Addressing Care Disparities for Veterans: Tackling Barriers and Identifying Solutions Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific Antibodies Are Moving Forward; So Are the Implementation Questions Service, Sacrifice, and Survival: Advancing Cancer Care for America's Heroes

Lesley Groff was Jeffrey Epstein's longest-serving and most senior assistant, working for him from 2001 until his 2019 arrest, and the newly examined records place her closer to his daily life than almost anyone else in the Epstein files. Her name reportedly appears more than any other name in the released material, because she handled the machinery of Epstein's world: calendars, travel, calls, appointments, visitors, gifts, household details, meals, flights, logistics, and the constant scheduling of massages. Groff has always maintained through her lawyers that she did not know Epstein was committing crimes, and she has never been criminally charged. But the record creates the obvious and uncomfortable question: how could someone so embedded in Epstein's routines, movements, communications, and appointments remain unaware of what was happening around him for nearly two decades? The documents show her as an intensely loyal functionary inside Epstein's operation, someone who could move from arranging absurd household preferences to coordinating meetings with powerful men, while also helping facilitate the flow of young women, guests, and associates through his homes and social orbit.The larger significance is that Groff's role sits in the gray zone between legal culpability, claimed ignorance, and moral responsibility. She was not Ghislaine Maxwell, and the public record does not show that prosecutors ever charged her as an accomplice, but she was also not a distant employee who occasionally answered a phone. She was the person Epstein relied on to make the system work, and that system included the very rhythms that survivors later described as central to his abuse: massages, travel, private meetings, assistants, young women, and a network of people whose access had to be managed. Congressional investigators have since sought to interview her because they believe she may have information that could help explain what the government missed or failed to act on. Groff's defense is that she did not know; the enduring problem is that the Epstein files make clear she was close enough to the center of the operation that the question of what she saw, what she understood, and what she chose not to ask remains impossible to avoid.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Seriously the best boss ever': inside the world of Jeffrey Epstein's assistant | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Groff has always maintained through her lawyers that she did not know Epstein was committing crimes, and she has never been criminally charged. But the record creates the obvious and uncomfortable question: how could someone so embedded in Epstein's routines, movements, communications, and appointments remain unaware of what was happening around him for nearly two decades? The documents show her as an intensely loyal functionary inside Epstein's operation, someone who could move from arranging absurd household preferences to coordinating meetings with powerful men, while also helping facilitate the flow of young women, guests, and associates through his homes and social orbit.The larger significance is that Groff's role sits in the gray zone between legal culpability, claimed ignorance, and moral responsibility. She was not Ghislaine Maxwell, and the public record does not show that prosecutors ever charged her as an accomplice, but she was also not a distant employee who occasionally answered a phone. She was the person Epstein relied on to make the system work, and that system included the very rhythms that survivors later described as central to his abuse: massages, travel, private meetings, assistants, young women, and a network of people whose access had to be managed. Congressional investigators have since sought to interview her because they believe she may have information that could help explain what the government missed or failed to act on. Groff's defense is that she did not know; the enduring problem is that the Epstein files make clear she was close enough to the center of the operation that the question of what she saw, what she understood, and what she chose not to ask remains impossible to avoid.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Seriously the best boss ever': inside the world of Jeffrey Epstein's assistant | Jeffrey Epstein | The GuardianBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Recognitions and Community Milestones Public Health Retirement: The Board honored Dr. Olivia Kasirye upon her retirement as County Health Officer, celebrating her "distinguished career" and steady leadership through the COVID-19 pandemic. Her successor, Dr. Fong Lu, is scheduled to start on June 1st. Public Works Week: The Board proclaimed May 17–23 as National Public Works Week and presented "Manager of the Year" awards to three county employees: Christina Willington (Administrative), Melissa Jones (Transport), and Jennifer Clayborn (Solid Waste).

Animal Services: The Board received an update on the Animal Care Fair, which resulted in 35 pet adoptions in a single day. Infrastructure and Economic Development Airport Refunding Bonds: Supervisors approved the issuance of up to $115 million in airport system revenue refunding bonds, a move expected to save the county approximately $800,000 annually. Mather Airport Strategic Plan: The Board reviewed an update on the Mather Airport Strategic Real Estate Development Plan, which outlines two major focus areas: a "North Side" for general aviation and industrial use, and a $209 million "Trade Port" project aimed at significantly expanding air cargo capacity over the next 10 to 20 years. Mining Expansion: The Board approved the Vineyard South Mine Expansion, allowing surface mining on four additional parcels (86 acres) and extending the mine's operation by three years to 2032. Housing and Homelessness Governance Affordable Housing Conversion: Through a TEFRA hearing, the Board approved tax-exempt bonds for Step Up Housing to purchase and renovate the Copper Creek Apartments, converting 75% of the market-rate units into affordable housing for residents at 50% to 80% of the Area Median Income. Homeless Governance Taskforce: In a major step toward regional coordination, the Board voted to establish an ad hoc planning taskforce to design the bylaws and structure for a new unified homelessness governing body. Supervisors Kennedy and Desmond were appointed to represent the county on this task force. Administrative and Board Actions Election Update: The County Executive reported that ballots have been mailed for the June 2nd primary election, with nearly one million eligible voters and 19 eleven-day voting centers opening soon. Board Requests: Chair Rodriguez requested a formal presentation on the recent Point-in-Time (PIT) count numbers to better understand the reported 102% increase in homelessness within the unincorporated county. Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned in memory of Jonathan Greg Burgess, a retired Battalion Chief and community advocate who recently passed away after a battle with ALS.

Most physical therapists know something's broken. Reimbursements are declining. Administrative burden is rising.

Are we being gaslit by the people sworn to protect us? 80% of consumers are demanding real environmental impact, but the "Gatekeepers" at the top are busy legalizing destruction. In Part 1 of "The Shadow Architects," I'm naming names—from the FBI Director's private jet scandals to the systematic dismantling of the EPA.It's time to stop the groupthink. We're breaking down how public servants use "national security" and "economic growth" as a mask for personal waste and environmental dismantling.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from educator, researcher and author Brian Aboud, who teaches at Vanier college in Montreal speaking about the heightening of administrative repression taking place within academic institutions. Brian places this within a context of understanding how this is connected to larger trends of the targeting of anti racist action on campus as well as international solidarity mobilizations by students, particularly about Palestine. The music track is Passage by Anarchist Mountains.

Administration is more than paperwork—it's a spiritual calling. Jana Holiday, author of Taking Good Care: Administration for Christian Formation, explores how stewardship, imagination, and hospitable leadership can transform administration into a ministry of care and Christian formation.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Jana Holiday explains that she loves administration because it involves solving problems and collaborating to move people, resources, and projects toward fulfilling a mission.Administration centers on stewardship—taking good care of people, resources, and projects.Jana Holiday connects the idea of stewardship to Genesis 1, positioning it as an expression of imago Dei and a pursuit of good work and good results.Effective administration requires reflection, intentionality, and love.Jana Holiday cautions against letting the pursuit of productivity override empathy and care in leadership.Administration works best when it is open-handed and welcoming, rather than controlling and restrictive.Administrators must choose between stewardship—an open invitation—and dominion, which relies on control.Jana Holiday warns that exercising dominion in administration risks missing out on the collective wisdom and creativity of a group.Administrative work is not unspiritual; all good work—including administration—can be ministry and part of Christian formation.Jana Holiday introduces three categories related to work: jobs, callings, and invitations, suggesting that many administrative roles may function as invitations from God more than callings.Approaching administrative work as an invitation can lead to a more purposeful and responsive engagement with people and resources.Markus Watson and Jana Holiday discuss the importance of boundaries for administrators and the need for leaders to help protect staff from being overloaded by excessive demands.Over-functioning and under-functioning both erode trust in organizational settings.Jana Holiday suggests administrators regularly audit their responsibilities and seek feedback from colleagues to maintain a healthy balance in their roles.Hospitable administration involves creating belonging and valuing people as part of stewardship, not just completing tasks.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Gordon-Conwell Theological SeminaryIDEO (Design & Innovation Firm)Books mentioned:Taking Good Care, by Jana HollidayDesigning Your Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave EvansDesigning Your Work Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave EvansThe Art of Innovation, by Tom KelleyRELATED EPISODE'S:Healing Workplace Wounds, with Meryl HerrTrust, Teams, and Transformational Leadership, with Mike BonemPursuing Your Purpose, with Nicholas PearceSend me a text!

The challenges to recruiting enough men for service in the Royal Navy and the Army and Militia were formidable.  It is revealed that the War of 1812 was really one war too many for Britain.   The necessity to supply seamen for the new North American Lake service meant that the Royal Navy did not have enough men to staff the newly produced ships.  The Mediterranean command and the North American commands were both screaming or more ships.  The Army had its challenges as well.  Losses exceeded new recruits from standard methods every year, but 1807.  Special efforts were required.The Militia had its own challenges, needing to put down the Luddite Riots 1811-1813.

The city-kingdoms of Iron Age Cyprus have always been something of a mystery -- in fact "city-kingdom" itself is a bit of a misnomer to begin with. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Beatrice Pestarino, expert in ancient political systems and author of Kypriōn Politeia: The Political and Administrative Systems of the Classical Cypriot City-Kingdoms, to explore the unique administrative and ideological frameworks of these polities. We discuss the roots of Cypriot kingship, the roles of officials like the basileus, anax, and damos, and how civic and religious authority were often one and the same. From the Idalion Tablet to the records of Kition, we examine the sophistication of land management, taxation, and bureaucratic roles such as the Rab Soferim (Chief of Scribes) and Rab Sarsourim (Chief of Commercial Agents). Along the way, we challenge colonial interpretations of Cypriot governance and ask what it really meant to be a "king" on the island. This episode offers a compelling look at how Cypriot city-states navigated imperial pressures while maintaining a distinctly local political identity.

The trade war between Britain and Napoleon reached a new level in 1807.  British merchants were desperate for new markets.  The French were finding trouble, customs dues fell 80% despite the new Rhine river trade.  We've already talked a great deal about how the Russian economy was pushed to the brink.Smuggling was the response.  The British smuggled into the Mediterranean via Malta, and into North Germany through Heligoland.  I'll tell you what percent of smuggled British goods were seized by the French officials, you will not believe it.But the French kicked off an organized smuggling campaign as well, involving 6 different government departments, requiring a lot of paperwork.  But under the cover of all this smuggling, quite secretly, banking was taking place.

I had the honor of speaking with Maaike Knoester for an interview on the 5 Star Assistant Podcast to discuss my 20-year career as an Executive Assistant, my book The Leader Assistant, and the journey of producing over 360 episodes of my own podcast.In this conversation we talk about challenging misconceptions about our profession. The greatest misunderstanding is that EAs are merely "one-trick ponies" focused on scheduling and expenses. In reality, we are strategic partners who see the whole picture for our executives. Internally, the biggest barrier I see is a lack of confidence, often stemming from attaching personal worth to job performance.To combat burnout and build a sustainable career, I emphasize two core principles:Detach your worth from your work. Your value as a person is separate from your job performance.Set clear boundaries. I made it a point with my current executive to log off on the weekends because you cannot truly help others long-term if you don't take care of yourself.Finally, when it comes to being busy, I see "multitasking" not as doing two things at once, but as the critical skill of prioritizing and context switching effectively between diverse responsibilities.Thank you, Maaike, for the opportunity to be on your show, and for asking such great questions!Show notes -> leaderassistant.com/373--It's the last day of the offsite and it was exactly what the team needed.

When the death rate in a hospital neonatal unit triples in two weeks, someone should notice. When babies who were stable crash without medical explanation on the same nurse's shifts, someone should act. When twin brothers from the same family are allegedly attacked on consecutive days, the alarms should be deafening.At the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015 and June 2016, all of that happened. And according to testimony given to the Thirlwall Inquiry, hospital management responded not with urgency but with delay. Internal reviews instead of police calls. Administrative transfers instead of suspensions. And silence to the families who were burying their children believing the deaths were natural.Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. She is serving fifteen whole-life sentences. The prosecution alleged she used methods invisible to anyone who wasn't looking for them: air injected into bloodstreams, insulin given to babies who didn't need it, feeding tubes weaponized.But this is not just a conviction story. This is a case where the conviction is actively being challenged by credentialed experts around the world. Where the prosecution's primary medical witness has been accused of misinterpreting the science. Where the staffing chart that seemed to prove everything has been called a textbook example of selection bias.Part one of five. The ward where it started. What allegedly happened inside it. And the first signs that the institution built to protect these babies was already failing them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
