Most Americans go to church expecting to hear about salvation, morality and scripture. They don't anticipate hardball political endorsements. But some churches thrive on delivering politics from the pulpit. Sure, pastors are citizens, too. And so in other venues, such as op-eds, blogs, books, and other places of influence, a pastor may speak his mind. Even so, he must jealously guard that influence and always speak winsomely. As a gospel minister, he shouldn't make politics more important than his pastoral duties. The tax code prevents religious institutions from serving as political machines, a concept in keeping with the separation of church and state our founding fathers envisioned. Pastors cannot make declarations to favor or oppose any candidate from the pulpit. They cannot take money from the collection plate and give it to support a candidate. And if they want to participate in any partisan activity in their personal capacity, they must make sure it is done in a manner indicating it is separate from their religious institution.The Rev. Dr. Timothy C. Ahrens began his ministry as Senior Minister of First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ in downtown Columbus on January 23, 2000. A church known for its witness to social justice since its birth as an abolitionist congregation in 1852, Rev. Ahrens is the fifth consecutive senior minister from Yale Divinity School and is a lifelong member of the United Church of Christ. Rev. Ahrens is a 1980 graduate of Macalester College with a double major in Religious Studies and Political Science. Since January 2000, under his leadership, First Church has doubled in membership during an era when seven downtown churches have closed their doors. Rev. Ahrens earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from Chicago Theological Seminary in May 2015. His thesis was entitled: “Young and Growing Stronger: Creating a Model of 21st Century Prophetic Witness Leaders with a New Generation.” He is currently working on two books.

Wenn wir als Elternteil die Fragen gestellt bekommen wie viele Kuchen wir zum alljährlichen Schulbazar gedenken mitzubringen, haben wir oftmals das Gefühl gar keine andere Wahl zu haben als mindestens einen Kuchen mitzubringen. Vielleicht kaufen wir ihn und hoffen, dass es nicht auffällt, vielleicht backen wir ihn noch spät abends, um auch dieser Erwartung gerecht zu werden. So haben wir es schliesslich gelernt. Was aber wenn du in einem ganz anderem Umfeld aufgewachsen bist und es für dich einfach absurd klingt als Vollzeit berufstätige Mutter für einen Schulbazar einen Kuchen zu backen und du ganz selbstverständlich antwortest: "Ich bringe keinen Kuchen, aber dafür 5 Esser mit". Warum Johanna Ahrens genauso geantwortet hat und was unser Verhalten und unsere unbewussten Denkmuster mit unserem Umfeld und unserer Sozialisierung zu tun hat, darüber spreche ich mit Johanna in der aktuellen Folge von Power ON. Es ist erfrischend, wohltuend, inspirierend und lädt ein die eigenen Denkmuster zu hinterfragen und aus limitierenden Denkmustern auszubrechen. Hör rein und lass dich inspirieren.

Zwischen dem Renteneintritt und dem 80. Lebensjahr ist die gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und das ehrenamtliche Engagement besonders stark ausgeprägt. Diese Gruppe älterer Menschen bildet somit eine wesentliche Basis für die Funktionsfähigkeit und das Zusammenleben unserer Gesellschaft. In unserem Podcast diskutieren wir mit Petra-Angela Ahrens über ihre Studie „Alt ist man erst ab achtzig“, die zeigt, dass sich die Definition des Alters verschiebt und viele Menschen das 80. Lebensjahr als Beginn des Alters betrachten. Diese Ergebnisse bieten Einblicke in die Wahrnehmung des Alters, die Aktivität älterer Menschen in der Gesellschaft und ihre Bedeutung für das Gemeinwohl.

José Antonio Bowen: Teaching With AI José Antonio Bowen has won teaching awards at Stanford and Georgetown and is past president of Goucher College. He has written over 100 scholarly articles and has appeared as a musician with Stan Getz, Bobby McFerrin, and others. He is the author of multiple books in higher education and is a senior fellow for the American Association of Colleges and Universities. He is the author with C. Edward Watson of Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning*. AI will change how we work, but it's also going to change how we think. In this conversation, José and I explore where to begin working with AI and why those who can use it will serve a critical role in shaping what's next. Key Points Physical maps make you smarter than GPS, but GPS is more practical for daily use. AI isn't inherently good or bad, but like the internet, it will change how we work. AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will change every job. Those who can work with AI will replace those who can't. Rather than thinking about creativity through the lens of responses from AI, focus on bringing creativity into your prompts. Most of the AI progress for companies is coming from non-tech folks that are figuring our how specific tasks get more efficient. AI is very good at some things and not good at others. You'll discover how this relates to your work by experimenting with different prompts.

This podcast episode features an interview of Chris Ahrens of the San Diego Unified School District. After graduating from SUNY Brockport with a degree in physical education and completing a master's program on an OSEP grant, he has spent the last 15 years working in various positions in the San Diego Unified School District until he reached the position of lead APE teacher. They discussed the way in which podcasts connect APE teachers and allow different perspectives to be shared. He discusses lessons he learned the hard way through podcasting, like how to be flexible and how to disagree politely and respectfully. Ahrens has mild cerebral palsy and had a nine-year career with the U.S. Men's National Paralympic Soccer Team and was recently a finalist for the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Soccer was a huge part of his life, and he described the excitement of watching World Cup games during his childhood and how the transformational power of sports can lift people up. Next, they have dived into how the pandemic has affected the field of education, with a focus on the mental health of students. When looking back on his career up until this point, he stated that in every school situation he found himself in, he left it better than he found it. He advises Masters APE students to rock the boat, as they have the unique opportunity to change the field for the better. When looking forward to the next 20 years of the field, he compares the rise of online programs versus traditional hands-on experience, as these careers in the APE field require hands-on practice to be successful.

"Ragtime: The Musical," with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally, is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by E.L. Doctorow. It's two-and-a-half hours of intense beauty and heartbreaking grief, and frankly, all three of us choked up a little while recording this episode. The (incredibly intricate) plot follows the intersecting lives of three groups in the early 20th century: African Americans, upper-class white suburbanites, and Eastern European immigrants. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the story delves into themes of racial tension, social upheaval, and the pursuit of the American Dream, weaving vibrant, moving music with compelling narratives. The characters navigate love, loss, racism, feminism, and the evolving landscape of a dysfunctional nation in flux, all while singing some of the most gorgeous lyrics and music that ever flowed from Ahrens and Flaherty's pens. (And somehow we managed to squeeze in a tribute to the amazing Marin Mazzie, too!) So get yer hanky ready -- it's time to dust off this musical gem and explore the masterpiece that is "Ragtime: The Musical."   *We'd love to hear from you!

Thanks to Carter Ahrens and his father, Chuck for joining the Alex Garrett Podcast Network! Here is more on disc golfing teen sensation : 'Carter is set to compete in 12-15 pro tour events across the country, showcasing his skills on a national stage. With the support of WAVA and his family, Carter continues to excel both academically and athletically, proving that with determination and the right support system, anything is possible. Carter's journey with online education began after experiencing challenges in traditional school settings due to learning disabilities, including dyslexia. Anna Ahrens emphasizes the importance of personalized support, noting, "I have been very impressed with the 1:1 support Carter gets at WAVA. Even though he is mainly self-guided, there are zoom meetings and supports to keep him on track. Teachers are great, communicative, and supportive." "WAVA has been amazing for Carter for many reasons," says Anna Ahrens, Carter's mother. "As Carter travels and competes, he has appreciated the flexibility and being able to complete his work when it's best for his schedule. Some students may work best in the morning, where others may work better in the afternoon/evening." The Ahrens family's dedication to education and community involvement extends beyond the virtual classroom. In addition to his academic pursuits, Carter is deeply involved in growing the sport of disc golf locally. "Carter is getting more involved locally with clinics and coaching others,” Anna Ahrens shares. "We even designed and built a disc golf course at an elementary school in Yelm, WA, just prior to COVID. Carter's passion for disc golf is truly inspiring."

On this episode, Tom and I discuss how to write so that people actually read what you send. Key Points Virtually everyone is a writer in some significant way: emails, text messages, memos, social media posts, and many other daily communications. While your writing is important to you, the audience is often trying to spend as little time as possible processing what you've sent. Virtually everyone skims, especially in the context of work. Using fewer words make it more likely that people will engage with the message at all, much less taken action. Addressing fewer ideas often helps people engage better. Studies show better results for calls to action when fewer ideas are presented in a single communication. Asking busy readers for more can cause them to do less. Be mindful about the number of requests you are making in writing and eliminate those which aren't essential.

In a riveting episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski explored the enigmatic case of Bryan Kohberger, a criminal justice graduate student accused of committing a heinous crime: the murder of four college students. To gain further perspective, Brueski invited Deborah Ahrens, a former public defender and current Professor of Law at Seattle U School of Law, to discuss the complex aspects of this case.    The striking narrative put forward by Ahrens draws an eerie parallel between the case and the plot of the 2002 movie "Murder by Numbers," in which two highly intelligent high school students devise the 'perfect' murder. Ahrens proposed a theory that Kohberger, deeply embedded in the study of criminal justice, may have attempted a similar tactic. She stated, "The state's theory it looks like is probably going to be that that's exactly what, what he was trying to do - get away with a perfect murder and try to use some of the knowledge he has about how police track people to evade detection."    Nevertheless, the burning question that both Ahrens and Brueski grappled with, a question that lingers in the minds of the public as well, is what led Kohberger down this chilling path. The discussion delved into the various breadcrumbs of Kohberger's past, such as his writings online and a growing sense of disconnection from family and friends. Yet, as Ahrens remarked, these signs do not definitively lead to such violent acts, given that the vast majority of people who feel isolated or disconnected never resort to violence.    The podcast episode further examined Kohberger's interactions within the academic world, where he was a master's student and teaching assistant. Ahrens suggested that the ways in which some people have described his interactions as being "off" might be more indicative of his attitudes, presenting yet another breadcrumb leading to the understanding of Kohberger's character.    One of the key topics of discussion was the early statement made by Kohberger's assigned public defender, Ann Taylor, who stated that her client looks forward to being exonerated. This sparked debate, with Ahrens questioning the choice to release such a strong statement so early in the process. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
