After keeping fans waiting for more than a year, the American Southwest Conference finally had something to say about its membership situation, and it did so with a bang, swiping two teams from the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference to shore up its membership and bring it back to six for the fall of 2026. Who does that affect? It affects the SCAC folks, who were on the way to getting an automatic bid to the NCAA playoffs, and we'll hear more about the reaction of the conference when we sit down with conference commissioner Dwayne Hanberry on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. Plus, the two schools that are going back to the ASC are doing so, apparently $4 million richer apiece. But for Schreiner, this represents a big leap up in competition for a program which hasn't even played a game yet! Schreiner isn't set to play a varsity game until 2026, but the Mountaineers' timeline just got altered a bit. We talk with Schreiner's head coach -- Keith Allen, the second coach in this young program's history -- about how that changes things for him, one month into his tenure. And more change in Division III this upcoming season includes, of course, the fact that there won't be nearly as many fifth-year players. That's the case all over now that the extra year of eligibility because of the COVID pandemic has largely worked its way through the system. At Coe, they'll feel the loss of two seniors classes at once, and coach Tyler Staker tells us how they'll adjust and what's expected of the student-athletes who need to step up in 2025. A lot of news happened in the past month aside from the ASC/SCAC as well, and we'll talk through it all, including the upcoming NESCAC presidents' meeting, the new Cortland coach, our soon-to-become Division III schools in Azusa Pacific and St. Francis (Pa.), and which one of those said it will dominate Division III. Plus, with two brand-new football programs coming online in the Conference of New England in the fall, where would the CONE likely rank? Stat of the Week in March? Conference rankings in March? Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

This is the second of three parts with David Frankel, (JD, NYU School of Law), survivor of a public mass-shooting, or public set of several murders and attempted murders in his office building in San Fransisco in the summer of 1993. David was a gun control advocate at the time. In fact, many of the attorneys who survived processed the horrific event solely and exclusively through the gun-control lens, founding a gun-control advocacy group that became something well known in gun control circles now. After the event, David experienced a slow political transformation about the meaning of the event. He describes his conversion from pro-gun control advocate to Second Amendment advocate in his short, substantive book, "Coming to Terms: A Mass Shooting Survivor's Story." The book is available on Amazon.

"Everything that begins to exist has a cause."  So begins the classical argument for God's existence known as the Kalam Cosmological Argument. Contemporary sciences of the heavens have, at least for the time being, confirmed that the universe we currently inhabit did indeed have a beginning.  But what caused our universe to come into existence? The secular literature on the origin of the universe mentions God only in passing, or often merely to claim that theists are arguing about a god of the gaps. But if God did not create the cosmos, what did? When you read through the contemporary theories, they start to sound not a little like "invisible attributes" of God. Whatever created the universe in a naturalistic worldview has to be powerful beyond description, employing laws of physics heretofore unknown to man (as the current laws known by scientists 'break down' at the beginning), beyond space, beyond time, not made of anything physical or material, and either infinite or eternal.  On part two of our discussion with Christian and astrophysicist Dr. Leslie Wickman, Dan explores some of these questions in more detail. Whatever you may think of the Big Bang, it certainly can be a point of discussion upon which you can build a conversation with your skeptic or atheist friends.   From Leslie's website at Azusa Pacific.   Leslie Wickman is a research scientist, engineering consultant, author, and inspirational speaker. For more than a decade, Wickman was an engineer for Lockheed Martin, where she worked on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station Programs, receiving commendations from NASA for her contributions and being designated as Lockheed's Corporate astronomer.

He has always loved kids, and especially wanted to help them. 12:55 – Common threads Garrett started seeing common threads of things that made it difficult for people to improve their lives. His definition of homelessness is not the absence of a home or a building. His definition of homelessness is the absence of hope. 19:36 – Finding your purpose Garrett tries to convince people they have talent and purpose in this world.

About Garrett Underwood:  Garrett Underwood is currently the Executive Director of Seed House Project, a Live/Work home or at-risk youth. His position entails overseeing daily operations, meeting financial quota, and most importantly managing all programs within the organization. Some of the programs consist of; Self actualization development, Business or Non - Profit Execution plan, Credit building, Financial literacy and Emotional Intelligence Development. Mr. Underwood received his Masters at Azusa Pacific for Organizational Behavior & Development. Previously before attending Azusa he started a Faith- Based Clothing Company called Malachi Clothing. The business model was “ buy one give one” for every purchase a hygiene kit was given away to someone in need, In return the customer would receive a free prayer bracelet with the name of the person that received the care package. The company partners with over 50 shelters & group homes across Los Angeles, and gave over ten thousand care packages a year. Unfortunately the demands of recourse increased and care packages wasn't enough to fulfill the need, which lead Mr. Underwood to make a major shift in his career. In 2016 Mr. Underwood decided to dive deeper in the homeless crisis in Los Angeles. He volunteered at all the major organizations within Los Angeles, The Dream Center, My Friends Place and PATH ( People Assisting The Homeless) to name a few. Two years later Mr. Underwood became the lead Coordinator for the Homeless Outreach for all over the Los Angeles Country as well as the Program Manager at PATH. He also took on as the lead site counselor at Covenant house, the leading housing program for homeless youth in Los Angeles. During his experience he began to see a common thread within the many different issues within the homeless crises in Los Angeles. He noticed lack of affordable housing was a big issue but he also took note of the physiology of hope. Those that had something to look forward to, whether a job, school or family 90% of them either obtained or maintained their housing. This static led Mr. Underwood developed an employment program that created purpose. Working with the shelters he previously partnered with, he conducted workshops around storytelling and the impact one story can have. The participants would have the opportunity to share their story within the jewelry they created. The jewelry was then distributed to stores across LA, therefore sharing their story to hundreds of people. This created purpose and employment. Within the first year Mr. Underwood was able to employ over 98 individuals. The one other issue he couldn't solve was affordable housing. He decided to donate his home and move into a trailer to meet the need in whatever way he could. He was able to house 16 people at a time. Three years later Mr. Underwood has now housed over a 100 people and created hope for each person that walks through his home. He has perfected the art of finding one's purpose with extensive assessment tools and a curriculum to how you can turn your purpose into a program to serve others.

Welcome to episode fifty-nine of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I'm thrilled to get a chance to reconnect with a friend and former colleague, Dr. Jen Rosner. During my years serving as a dean at Azusa Pacific University, Jen taught (and continues to teach) for the school as an affiliate faculty member. She was one of those professors who makes a dean's life easy. Students love Jen's classes, and I always looked forward to connecting with Jen and hearing about the latest work she was doing, and the great things God was teaching her.  Jen is an alum of Cal Poly University. She earned an MDiv from Yale Divinity School and a PhD in Theology from Fuller Seminary. After living for a couple of years in Israel, she now lives in Lake Tahoe, California and teaches at Fuller, Azusa Pacific, Messianic Jewish Theological Institute, and The King's University. Her PhD dissertation, on the relationship between Judaism and Christian faith, was published in 2016 by Fortress Press with the title – Healing the Schism: Barth, Rosenzweig and the New Jewish-Christian Encounter.Our conversation centers primarily on two things. The first is her new book – Finding Messiah: A Journey into the Jewishness of the Gospel (published by IVP) – which can be pre-ordered now but will be released on May 24. I got to read a pre-publication edition of the book and it is such a beautiful combination of theology, biblical study, Christian history, and personal memoir. Secondly, we talk a lot – as does the book – about Jen's own journey as a Jewish Christian, and specifically how she has come to embody those two traditions in her everyday life. And we reflect on the way her Judaism draws so much of the beauty and significance of Jesus' and message that we Gentiles often overlook. I was so excited to get a chance to read Jen's outstanding book, reconnect with a good friend, and I'm delighted to get to bring that conversation to you.

In this weeks episode, host Chris Cottrell interviews the head coach of California State University, San Bernardino, Andy Newman. Currently, CSU San Bernardino is 20-2 and ranked #6 in last weeks NCAA D2 Mens Basketball Top 25 Coaches Poll. Coach Newman is in his 4th season as the head coach at CSU San Bernardino and has an overall record of 56-24. In today's episode Coach Cottrell and Coach Newman discuss navigating the year off from competition in the 2020-2021 season. Cottrell and Newman also discuss how the year away and CCAA's decision to cancel the season, impacted recruiting and the roster at CSU San Bernardino. Coach Newman also talks rebounding margins, assisting the basketball and their elite backcourt of Darius Lubom, Brandon Knapper and Darius Mickens. Previously Newman led the Coyotes to a 15-14 record in his first season with a win over then ranked #16 UC San Diego, who is now an NCAA Division I institution.  In a shortened second season at the helm, San Bernardino was 21-8 and preparing to play Azusa Pacific in the first round of the NCAA tournament when Covid disrupted that event and the entire NCAA Tournament.  In what would have been his third season, 2020-2021, the CCAA, the California Collegiate Athletic Association shut down basketball and programs did not compete as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.  Before arriving in California, Newman was the head coach at the University of Texas Permian Basin where he won more than 100 games and advanced to the NCAA D2 National tournament twice.

Welcome to episode forty-nine of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I am delighted to be joined by a friend and former colleague from my Azusa Pacific days, Dr. Adam Winn. Adam is Associate Professor of Christian Studies at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Texas. He's an alum of Southwest Baptist University and has both MA and PhD degrees from Fuller Seminary. He is the author of four books on the New Testament and numerous academic articles and essays. His primary research interests include the Gospels of Mark and Luke, the Roman imperial world of the first century, and the Christology of the early Christian church. His passion is helping people read and interpret the Gospels in the light of the context and culture from which they emerged.I have been especially excited to talk with Adam about his very interesting book on the Gospel of Mark entitled, Reading Mark's Christology Under Caesar: Jesus the Messiah and Roman Imperial Ideology – published by IVP Academic. In recent decades, biblical scholars have found the Gospel of Mark deeply interesting and, as you will hear, I think reading Mark in the light of what was going on – especially in Rome – at the time, can open our understanding to the life and mission of Jesus in new ways. I'm really thankful for the deep exegetical work that scholars like Adam commit themselves to, for the sake of the church. This conversation digs deep into the text of Mark's Gospel, but not for the sake of the academic exercise itself, but out of the deep desire to know Christ more. I hope you will pick up that spirit from this conversation and be edified by it.

How do we integrate our emotional life into our walk with Jesus? This can be confusing when we have uncomfortable and hard emotions like anger, sadness, and shame.. Integration is the key.  We believe in integrating our emotions, thoughts, and actions into our walk with Jesus is essential to holistic discipleship.  But how do we do that?   We conclude Season 1 with a final interview with psychologist, JoAnna Dias.  JoAnna comes to us with a lot of ministry experience but also has a Masters in Spiritual Formation, psychology, and she just completed her doctorate in psychology from Azusa Pacific where she studied the spiritual formation of young adults. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/resilientchristian/support

Today on episode 96,  I'm going to talk to Gary and Chris Simmons in Fresno, California.  Gary and Chris have served as bi-vocational leaders of the Central Valley Church of Christ since 2000.  In this episode they share: How they've been able to serve as “tentmakers” for nearly 14 years. How they bought a massive church campus for $1 The power of staying in one place for a long time Their plans to start a new church planting next year All this and more on the Rob Skinner Podcast!   More about Gary and Chris: Gary and Chris Simmons have served as the lead ministry couple of the Central Valley Church of Christ in Fresno since 2000 (with a short break from ministry in 2004-2007).  They were both baptized in the Denver church in 1989 and 1990, while Chris was at CU and Gary was getting his graduate degree, and they met each other through church. Both are from New England, and after becoming disciples they have gotten to serve many places including Nebraska and Alaska! In California, they have served in the LA Church, the Bay Area Christian Church, and Fresno.   For the past 14 years Gary has served as a part-time paid minister while holding down a teaching job, and Chris does the ministry as an unpaid part-time position.  This has afforded the small congregation a chance to hire interns and to not have to pay insurance, allowing the church to do much more than if Gary and Chris were paid full time.    Chris recently got a part time job at a publishing company designing book covers, and the whole Simmons family fosters animals for the CCSPCA.  Chris also does social media and sings with the Fresno Master Chorale.   Chris' parents and brother are disciples in the Bay Area church.  Gary and Chris consider the Central Valley Church of Christ a key piece, geographically and relationally, with the BACC, LA Church, Bakersfield, AV and Sacramento.   Their daughter Audrey is a freshman at Azusa Pacific and recently became a disciple.  Their son Wyatt is 16 and going to an early college HS, hoping to study abroad after graduation.  They live with 5 dogs (plus fosters), 1.5 cats, 2 ducks and a chicken.

Pete Shinnick is the Head Football Coach at The University of West Florida. A lifetime ago, Coach Shinnick was my head coach at Azusa Pacific. We chatted about his journey through the small college football world, life priorities and my illustrious football career. Enjoy the chat!

A good friend of mine Dominique Johnson came on the podcast to talk about his unique journey from unknown recruit in Detroit to entering his 10th year playing professionally. I wanted to bring him on as a guest to tell his story to inspire players who feel like they are overlooked or under the radar and are looking to play basketball professionally. Dom discusses his setbacks to junior college to his career at Azusa Pacific and how he's overcome the odds of playing in the G-League and high levels in Europe coming from an NAIA school..

Great coaches have what's called a "Coaching Tree." It's the legacy of former assistants who have gone on to great things in their own right. The longer they coach, the farther and wider those branches stretch. No youth pastor has a deeper, wider, and more influential tree than Dr. Jim Burns. Jim Burns has been involved in youth ministry since the time he was saved at 16. He  even turned down a baseball scholarship to Stanford in order to study for the ministry at then little-known Azusa Pacific University. He led a growing youth ministry in California, where he mentored a high school kid named Doug Fields. Jim became a key part of the Youth Specialties speaking team, working closely with the legendary Mike Yaconelli and Wayne Rice. He has written resources which now have more than 2 million copies in print. He eventually turned his rich wisdom towards parents, and became the President of HomeWord and the Executive Director of the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific. He and his wife Cathy still speak regularly at parenting and marriage events around the country, and are the proud parents of three grown daughters and proud grandparents of James and Charlotte. Even with his many achievements and rich legacy, Jim still gets teary-eyed thinking about the students who didn't get it. It's a quality that makes him a great youth pastor. We know you will enjoy our conversation with the gracious and wise Dr. Jim Burns.
