Members of the King County Council have moved to officially say the county's youth jail should remain open. The council voted last week eight-to-zero in favor of a non-binding resolution to declare its support for keeping the Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center in operation – with some improvements. The move comes just over four years after King County Executive Dow Constantine pledged to shutter the facility by 2025 It was a promise made during the summer of George Floyd racial justice protests. At the time – Constantine said his goal was “shifting public dollars away from systems that are rooted in oppression.” And he predicted that, “phasing out centralized youth detention is no longer a goal in the far distance.” But since then, the goal has been getting farther down the road. Earlier this year, the timeline for closing the jail was pushed out to 2028 at the recommendation of an advisory committee of community partners. And now, the county appears to be indefinitely delaying that push. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

Dr. Rich Rudowske and Dr. Tilahun Mendedo are the CEO and Associate Executive Director of Lutheran Bible Translators. Rich's passion for the written Word of God took root when, as a small child, his parents gifted him an NIV Bible. Tilahun's life was changed at the age of 15 when a German missionary gave him the greatest treasure of all – a Bible in his own Ethiopian language. They each have an extensive background in Bible translation and a great passion to see the Word of God printed in every person's mother tongue through the work of Lutheran Bible Translators and other translation organizations worldwide. LBT has some particularly unique strategies blending entrepreneurship with translation in projects that fund themselves. They will share their personal stories, how God led them into Bible Translation, and about some incredible momentum happening today. Major topics include: Tilahun's gripping backstory of being surrounded by death and struggling for a will to live, but finding life and hope through meeting Christ in the Word Rich's inspiring journey from the world of finance into the call of God, bringing his wife and five children with him The history of LBT and how their unique approach to Bible Translation evolved What is a “ministry entrepreneur” and how do these self-funded missions work to expand the Kingdom and engage local communities in Bible translation? The profound spiritual impact of hearing the Word of God in your mother tongue How Bible translation and language development improves quality of life as a whole The story of how God miraculously provided for their pilot project, the Helge Center, to be built during the pandemic lockdowns An update on the incredible leaps happening now in the Bible translation world and the great need that still exists How you can get invested, financially and through prayer, in this eternal endeavor QUOTES TO REMEMBER Tilahun – “Bible translation isn't something that I talk about, it's something that I am because I am the result of Bible translation.” Tilahun – “What I need is just something that makes a difference. If I could be anything that would make a difference to millions, then here I am.” Rich – “As many different folks there are with that mission drive, there are as many different stories and details of how they go about getting it done. But the common denominator is the drive to know that there's a better future for their people or for the neighboring people around them and the drive to put pieces together to make to happen.” Tilahun – “When you see the Word of God in your mother tongue, it means God is speaking to you. God has come all the way down to your language and is talking to you!” Tilahun – “Bible translation is tough, hard, and full of struggles, but at the end of the day, it's worth dying for. It's a noble cause. There is nothing better than connecting the Incarnated Word to this generation and the generations to come.” Rich – “We're at an unprecedented level of understanding where those needs may be, and an unprecedented level of both collaboration and innovation in reaching out to those language communities.” Rich – “The number one strategy is prayer – lifting the need for Bible translation in hard to reach people groups before the Lord, asking him to give us wisdom collectively on how to move forward and be wise.” Rich – “Even now, data shows us that it's not possible to meet the goals that we have in the next nine years. But data also shows us that we've closed the gap by about 100 years in the last five years. The last bit of it is going to be more difficult, but what looks impossible to us is not impossible to God.” Tilahun – “It's every Christian's responsibility to make sure his fellow humankind, who was created in the image of God and for whom Christ Himself died, has Christ in written form.” Tilahun – “Every person who supports Bible translation through prayers, funding, or advocacy is impacting the whole person.” Tilahun – “Don't forget, we are here only for a time. Don't take for granted that this is the world for you. We are here for a purpose and that purpose is designed by God so that we can live out that purpose and deliver it for generations to come.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Lutheran Bible Translators Wycliffe Bible Translators (see our interview with CEO John Chesnut) SIL International (see our interview with Executive Director, Michel Kenmogne) IllumiNations Bible Translation Alliance (see our interview with Todd Peterson or John Chesnut) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 7:9 | Every Tribe, Nation, and Tongue After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 1 Timothy 2:3-4 | God Desires All to be Saved This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

The Accelerators (Drs. Matt Spraker and Simul Parikh) host new Associate Executive Director for Radiation Oncology at The American Board of Radiology (ABR), Dr. Michael Yunes! Mike is a community radiation oncologist in Springfield, MA and long time volunteer for the ABR. The transition to his leadership comes after a turbulent period for the Rad Onc board. Communication around the 2018 score anomalies dragged trainee confidence in the ABR to new lows and, soon after, COVID forced the board to complete a rapid redesign of testing. More than 5 years later, there are exciting signals of change. The "Orals 2.0" platform seems very well received by examiners and examinees and the board has voted to ramp up the clinical relevance of the qualifying exams in Rad Onc.Most importantly, Mike is all about transparency and communication. His door is always open, so we invited ourselves in and recorded a podcast. We discuss all things Initial Cert: the successful move to virtual oral boards, the written boards and clinical relevance, Angoff'ing, and "crisis management" and communication. We close the episode with Simul's lightning round. Lobster, wine, informatics, 3D printing for benign radiotherapy, Mike's got hobbies!We hope you enjoy what we hope is the first of many fruitful conversations.
