Get ready to unlock the secrets of a powerful and enigmatic figure: the Black Madonna, a symbol of divine femininity, has captured the imagination of spiritual seekers for centuries. This mysterious and often overlooked aspect of the Divine Mother has roots in various cultures and traditions. The Black Madonna is a sacred and revered image of the Virgin Mary depicted with dark or black skin. Found in various parts of the world, from Europe to the Americas, the Black Madonna has become a symbol of profound spiritual significance. Some believe her origins date back to pre-Christian goddess worship, while others associate her with transformative and healing energies. The “Great Dark Mother” is often seen as a bridge between the earthly and the divine, representing the hidden, mysterious aspects of spirituality. In esoteric traditions, she is a symbol of transformation, inner alchemy, and the integration of the shadow self. Working with her energy can lead to profound personal growth and spiritual enlightenment. Connecting with the energy of the Black Madonna can bring about a sense of inner strength, resilience, and healing. She is often associated with compassion, nurturing, and the transformative power of love. Working with her can help individuals navigate challenges, embrace their authenticity, and tap into their inner wisdom.SELECTED READINGS: “The Season of The Black Madonna” by Jan Blencowe at The Hedge Mystic (click here to subscribe to her – INCREDIBLE – Substack newsletter) YOUR FAVORITE MYSTICAL BEDTIME STORY PODCAST: Can't sleep?

The Left, from Biden acolytes to the mainstream media (if there's a difference), is in a collective panic over dreary poll numbers for President Biden in most of the swing states which figure to decide the 2024 election. Former President Trump leads in Nevada (+11), Georgia (+6), Arizona (+5), Michigan (+5), Pennsylvania (+4), and trails only in Wisconsin (-2) of the six states polled. Dan explores comments from former Obama advisor David Axelrod calling on Biden to reconsider his decision to run for re-election, and whether it's in America's best interest.

Ik, Zijn Zoon, wiens wil even onbegrensd is als de Zijne, kan hierin geen verandering willen. Want mijn Vaders Wil verloochenen is de mijne verloochenen. Naarbinnen kijken is niets anders dan mijn wil vinden zoals God die geschapen heeft en zoals die is. Ik ben bang naarbinnen te kijken, omdat ik denk dat ik een andere wil gemaakt heb die niet waar is, en die ik tot werkelijkheid heb gemaakt. Toch heeft die geen gevolgen. In mij is de Heiligheid van God. In mij is de herinnering van Hem.De stap die ik vandaag zet, Vader, is mijn onbetwistbare bevrijding van ijdele dromen over zonde. Uw altaar blijft sereen en onbezoedeld. Het is het heilige altaar voor mijn Zelf, en daar vind ik mijn ware Identiteit.

Als ik verkies voorbij de tijd tijdloosheid te bereiken, moet ik mijn beeld over waar de tijd toe dient, veranderen. Het kan niet het doel van de tijd zijn om verleden en toekomst te bewaren als één geheel. Het enige interval waarin ik van de tijd kan worden verlost, is nu. Want in dit ogenblik is vergeving gekomen om me te bevrijden. De geboorte van Christus is nu, zonder verleden of toekomst. Hij is gekomen om Zijn directe zegen aan de wereld te geven en die tot tijdloosheid en liefde terug te brengen. En liefde is eeuwig aanwezig, hier en nu.Dank U, Vader, voor dit ogenblik. Nu is het dat ik word verlost. Dit ogenblik is de tijd die U voor de bevrijding van Uw Zoon, en voor de verlossing van de wereld in hem, hebt bestemd.

This is season nine on transitions in Student Affairs. This podcast is brought to you by NASPA. And I'm Dr. Jill Creighton. She her hers your essay Voices from the Field host on today's episode of Essay Voices, I'm pleased to bring you a delightful conversation with Brian Medina. Pronouns z here. Hears. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:00:31]: Brian has been a social justice activist within higher education for nearly two decades. Brian has worked in New Hampshire, Maryland, Ohio, and is now the director of Bias Incident Support Services at the University of Maryland, College Park. As an openly queer genderqueer and Latinx sexual assault survivor with multiple disabilities, zee advocates for marginalized communities to center those harmed by systemic oppression and trauma. Brian is also the co chair elect of the NASPA gender and sexuality knowledge community. Brian. Welcome to the pod. Brian Medina [00:01:04]: Thank you. Lovely to be with you. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:01:06]: I'm so glad to talk to you today about your transition story. When we reached out to the KC leaders in NASPA, your response was one of the ones that immediately stood out because you've had so many experiences with transition in the last couple of years and we always love to start by getting to know our guests. You're at UMD now you're also leading in the KC space. So what was your come up both in the student affairs realm as well as in the KC realm? Brian Medina [00:01:31]: Thank you for asking. Brian Medina z here and heres and coming up through resident life and student conduct and then also now being in the De I space, the last three years have certainly been a journey. I wouldn't have said if you asked me when I first started my career where I would end up. This would be where it would be. And I'm so grateful and delighted that I can be in this space, particularly, actually, in some ways, very connected, the KC space. I started out with the gender and sexuality casey, different name at the time. And then have been involved with multiple other tam KC. Menamasculinities KC. Brian Medina [00:02:06]: And trying to really see the kind of connectedness of not just the work that I do, but my full existence and my dignity and an authentic self, not just at work, but beyond as well. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:02:38]: One thing you just introduced really resonates with me, which is how do you find your authentic self and feel like you can show up with your whole being at work every day? You mentioned your pronouns are z here, hears. And then also when you reached out to us, you let us know you've had some transitions in your gender presentation in the last couple of years. So I'm wondering if you're willing to tell us about how that impacted your ability to show up at work finally as your whole self and also what you want the profession to know about supporting other professionals who are going through that transition. Brian Medina [00:03:07]: It's a wonderful question. Thank you. For me, over the past decade or more, I have been out as genderqueer. I've been using these pronouns z here and heres for about eight of those years. And I will say that it's been mostly in the last three, three and a half years. Although, obviously, that's overlapping with our COVID existence. That being in space, certainly virtually, but in physical space with folks to explore a bit about, my body to check in with and fortunately, with my university, my supervisor, my colleagues. Have been so supportive and really showing up for me and alongside me in zir own authentic selves, thus giving me in some way, some invitation and welcoming space. Brian Medina [00:03:46]: So, yeah, the last couple of years have certainly been an exploration of I'm extending myself with I wear dresses now exclusively. And I wouldn't have said that four or five years ago, wearing dangly earrings, as I have on right now, and I wouldn't have said that a few years ago. And for me, it has been a combination of both the opportunity and the kind of welcoming space that I have at my current institution. But I will say that some of it has come more internally of feeling confident to be able to bring my full self and share and support various populations on campus in a different way. And it has been the best part of my life over these last couple of years, for sure. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:04:20]: Part of our theme of transitions on this season of the Pod is really thinking about transitions from all perspectives. And you are really our first guest who's come on this season to talk about that internal transition as the biggest driver for other areas of success. So let's hear more about what that internal transition has done for you in terms of your professional development internally. Brian Medina [00:04:42]: I think another factor that I want to make mention here is that I'm also a student in the School of Social Work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and that has coincided a good bit with my work related activities and certainly my responsibilities. I'm in charge of all bias response for the entire campus. And I will say that showing up in classroom settings, in one sense, showing up in work settings has caused me to reflect right, not just on an intellectual basis, but a true connection with my body, checking in with other folks and how they're feeling in space as we talk about marginalization writ large. And so that internal processing for me has been ongoing, for sure it has been over decades. But I will say the last couple of years I've had the encouragement and the kind of exploration also with a really good therapist and some good friends who've checked in on me and kind of allowed me that space to be able to express myself and therefore I'm much more readily interested and be able to explore that with them as well. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:05:36]: I think the work you're doing at UMD is really difficult work. Right. You're looking into all areas of bias, and we've seen a lot of transition in the way that we're managing our university and institutional responses to that work in the last couple of years. And we're also expecting a major Title IX rule drop to change and rock our worlds one more time. I'm really crossing my fingers. It's the last time that doed makes that happen. But can you talk about your transitions in that space as well, given the way we talk about bias and response to bias now is just really different than even the way we would have framed it in 2013. Brian Medina [00:06:10]: Yeah, my first inclination and thinking is as you're referencing the regulations coming out for Title Nine soon, and in 2011 when I first really started doing work around sexual misconduct and sexual response, sexual assault response, that was kind of on the earlier days of me even coming out as a survivor of sexual violence. And so thinking about that transition coming out in a different lens than it would be in a queer space, and then kind of maybe a couple of years later sharing about my gender identity and sexual orientation as well, I think they really combined. And it was at a time and place, I think, in our society where there was a lot of momentum and drive to make change, but also maybe a lot of confusion as to what that meant. We got this guidance, but what does that apply? How do we actually launch programs and offices and Title IX offices? And even for De and I spaces, many offices didn't see the interrelationship of power based violence, sexual violence, as well as how that affected queer folks, BIPOC folks very uniquely. So, I will say over these last couple of years in that space, specifically in this kind of back and forth. Back and forth because of administrations and certainly across the country, many states who are enacting legislation to harm a whole host of populations, including trans folks. I will say that I think the center of mine for me has been building solidarity across difference rather than this simply being a movement inside one's identity, but across identities, folks that experience similar harms. So I'll use the comparison with sexual violence work. Brian Medina [00:07:43]: Being a survivor, I've actually been a volunteer for the largest national group, reign as a sexual violence hotline. I've been a volunteer for eleven years there, and that work and supporting survivors uniquely on a hotline like that has been so instrumental for me to be able to hold space, provide space, resources, checking in with folks who are experiencing other identity based harms like anti blackness, like anti trans sentiment on our campuses. So I see them as very much connected as how we address trauma by holding space and support for folks uniquely in zir identities, but also seeing that we are more full amongst one another rather than just in ourselves. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:08:24]: You've transitioned also all over the country. You've been in the Midwest and the East Coast and a couple of other places. Do you see the work shifting its orientation or its priorities as you move around the country? Brian Medina [00:08:36]: Absolutely. And I think that many of my peers and friends in the field would acknowledge that depending on what state you're in or region of the country you're in, not only does the state legislation afford or deny you opportunities, and access within your identities and your existence. It also kind of more broadly provides either a chilling effect or an emboldening effect for folks to make change, to do programmatic risks that maybe they wouldn't have taken some other spaces. So I'll note a couple of pieces. When I first started off in resident life, it was up in New Hampshire, a very white space, but also progressive in some areas around sustainability, not so much around racial justice. And so I really entangled that because most of our students of color were student athletes and trying to navigate how to support students uniquely in zir identities but also seeing the friction that they're finding in the community was very much top of mind. And that actually aligned very similarly to my experience in Ohio in a very rural white space. Whereas in Maryland, being a much more perceivably progressive state, I found a much different experience where folks were much more open, interested in gaining resources and also promoting a bit more progressive ideals to support marginalized populations than I had in the other spaces. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:09:49]: That must really shift where you put energy in terms of training for your campus community and also how you're able to frame responses. So with that all kind of put together, what is the common thread between all of those experiences? Brian Medina [00:10:05]: I don't know if I can pull out one specific common thread. One of the things that I came to find early on in the career. Granted, I was in resident life spaces and so I was often doing social justice or de. And I work on the side either for RA trainings or for recruitments, doing programming, advising on the side from what folks perceived as a generalist position that I had to do many other things. And I'd say that that common thread of showing empathy, compassion, concern for the other. I was also a philosophy major, so I should share that from the share there from the get go that as a philosophy major I was always intuiting and thinking through and processing and reflecting. And now as a social work student, kind of that common thread around psychology and caring for full well being, if there is a common thread, it really is seeing the fullness of one of many of society as interconnected and there be no way for us to completely disconnect that from one another. And so in these various career points I would say that De I and social justice was a common thread, even if it wasn't my actual position, responsibility. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:11:10]: Societal structures and pressures are fairly consistent within the culture of the United States. They can be similar to neighboring countries. I can tell you from my own experience living in Asia now our structures around justice and our concepts around justice, marginalization, oppression, they don't apply at all here. It's the wildest thing to break my brain in that way and to stop looking at certain situations through my Americanized justice perspective has been a real interesting challenge. And I've come to the conclusion that dei work is so important in the US. Because of the structures of the way the organizational kind of hierarchies are created in the US. And then when I got here, it was like square pay, ground hole. Some of the concepts are similar in terms of wealth, wealth gap and things like that. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:11:55]: But the idea of race is different here because it is kind of a fairly monoracial society. Ethnicity plays a much larger role. Individual achievement stands out even though it's a collectivist society. It's so fascinating. So it's interesting to hear you talk about it from that lens as well. I wanted to hear more about your transition from a res life professional to deib professional. More or less that res life space is one you occupied for 15 years, and a lot of times it can be both difficult from a job search perspective and difficult from an emotional perspective to leave res life and to go into other areas of higher education. So tell us about that. Brian Medina [00:12:31]: I appreciate this invitation and in all vulnerability and honesty, that road was filled with potholes and filled with roadblocks and filled with turns and detours. If you would have asked me when I first started my career if I would have been in res life for 15 years, I would have said absolutely not. That didn't make any sense, there's no way. But as I continued to grow in that, being on call was always a challenge. But I will say that I adapted to it. Different institutional structures. Being going from a smaller private liberal arts college in New Hampshire to then a more mid sized institution of Towson University in Maryland allowed me, I think, a different perspective because there's a much different resourced institution, public institution. I will say that part of my journey, because of thinking about this and around going to De I work specifically at Towson. Brian Medina [00:13:20]: That was where I came out in a lot of settings. That's where I found student groups that even though I wasn't a student, I was advising a couple of student groups within the queer community. I was attending social justice retreats and then helping to facilitate them. And so I think that even though I was very heavily as a position as a resident life director, being in Res Life, I was very much tapped into the ethos and the mores of deib in a way that I don't think most of my peers had access to. And that was a privilege that I had, but also something I sought after. Folks had kind of encouraged me and mentored me. I will say, as I continued through my Res Life career going on to be Assistant Director, then Director, associate Dean in Res Life, each of those elements of social justice had a ring to it, but it was mostly in those other institutions because they were smaller. Me bringing it to those institutions rather than me learning as I had at Towson and now being at University of Maryland, being the largest state school in the state, being at a place know, recently give them a little bit of props, they recently were named number one for LGBT students. Brian Medina [00:14:18]: Acceptance across the country from the Campus Pride Index. To see that there's not only an acceptance and embrace about who I am and my fullness, but also that students can get that experience also brings me joy. So I'll say that some of that transition from Res Life to Edib was organic in its own. And if I were to admit to you, I applied to many Res Life jobs to be a senior leader within ResLife and got turned down. And so there's much about failure as it was success throughout the process. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:14:49]: That's a really important message in that job search transition. There are so many reasons that maybe the universe is pointing us in some directions sometimes, and other times it's just really, really frustrating. So I just want to give a shout out to all of you who are trying to make that next move up in the student affairs funnel. It is a real, real challenge when you're moving from that mid level professional and that assistant and associate director to that director space, because that funnel gets really, really tight at that level of organization. So I just want to cheer you on a little bit and let you know that I empathize. I understand. Brian Medina [00:15:18]: And you got this agreed. We can do this together. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:15:21]: I want to chat a little bit about the gender and sexuality. Casey, you're currently occupying a co chair seat. Can you tell us more about the hopes for this year's KC activities, what spaces you're providing, and really how listeners and NAFA members can also find authentic space for themselves in the KC? Brian Medina [00:15:41]: I would certainly shout out to Antonio and Clint, our current KC chairs. I'm actually the chair elect. I'll be taking on this starting in March. But a lot of those responsibilities we've been sharing throughout this year as a know, as a small group that have really cared for one another, not just in terms of the tasks that we do for conferences and programs and receptions that is all important, but really holding space for each other throughout the year. When something is tragic on one campus, it's tragic for the rest of us as well and also uplifting. So going back to the job search process, when we see folks promoted or getting new positions, we also hold folks in that celebration and joy. One of the things that I'm really looking forward to in the gender and sexuality Casey is the expansion for us to connect with other KCS in collaborations. So the last few KC chair rotations have been a building up of that of building relationships with the Latinx Aokc, indigenous peoples, KC Wisa, women XKC, and to be able to see us as a gender sexuality KC be as kind of a point to various intersectional identities. Brian Medina [00:16:43]: To hold space within the KC, but also across NASPA and different other KC spaces has been a joy. I anticipate even more so as the years to come. So that's one of the target interests that I have. So folks listening out there want to get involved and they're eh this KC may be all one identity or maybe kind of stereotypically all gay white men. It is very much not at this point and certainly won't be in the future. We're recruiting a lot of folks and we'd love to have you as a part of that revolution toward more broadening of queerness. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:17:12]: You also did an Essay Speaks very recently. Can you tell us, especially for those who are unfamiliar first, what is Essay speaks and how can folks find your conversation? Brian Medina [00:17:22]: Essay Speaks starting with what it is. It really is equivalent to what a Ted Talk would look like. So it's a ten to twelve minute talk. It's an opportunity for presenters. Rather than sharing kind of research or anything like that, it's really integrating our stories of who we are alongside kind of takeaways for audience members. And this is at the annual conference itself. So this past year in Boston and April I did share that from the topic of embodying gender fluidity, which in some ways is very relevant to the topic we're talking about in transition. I shared a bit of my journey over the course of my career and how I presented myself in my gender, how my gender fluidity and gender queerness have shown up in workspaces, but also other spaces given interest to anybody in the audience, those that are listening. Brian Medina [00:18:05]: And the video is out there if you want to check it out. NASPA has that available for folks to explore on zir own campuses, where they can advocate alongside zir trans non binary colleagues and students seeking some opportunities for healing. But also some joy along the ride. So I really encourage, if folks want to check that out, please do. So. Going into just sharing about that experience, jill and I shared off script a little bit about how different, how so much goes beyond the production and so much goes into the planning of this was a nine month planning cycle of creating a twelve minute sharing of one soul and heart. And so for me, it was a lot of work. I also have multiple disabilities, but one disability impacts my speaking when I'm public speaking. Brian Medina [00:18:47]: And so for me to put myself out there on the stage with hundreds watching, other thousands perhaps watching at home at some point was super nerve wracking, especially when a lot of complications happen last minute. So I just want to firm for those folks out in the audience that may be fearful to do these kind of speaking engagements. I am with you. I was there, and I certainly encourage you if you would like to have another support as you're exploring this opportunity to tell your story and who you are in your fullness. I would love to be there alongside you for that. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:19:16]: Brian, any other thoughts on the theme of transitions in higher ed or for yourself as a human? Brian Medina [00:19:22]: I guess I'd love to share a little bit about how transitions, fluidity, as I just was talking about gender, fluidity transitions are happening all the time, right? We talk about transitions for our students coming in and off campus, graduating and going off about zir lives, transitions for us in the job market, transitions as I shared about gender and understanding how I present myself. But I want to encourage so much of our talk about transitions, talk about the tense, the tenseness and kind of feeling of anxiety that is present there. It's the fear, and some of it rightfully so because of our world and how much we can be harmed in that transition and showing who we are. But I also never want to forget how much we are taking upon our ancestors to get to where we are today. The transition of a more human wide transition to be in a place and space where I can be who I am and be present even on this podcast with you and alongside you is dedicated to many of those folks well before me, marcia P. Johnson, Silvio Revellitrera, who could be kind of conduits and revolutionaries in zir own right. I would love to for the next generation to see many folks alongside me, not just me, but to provide transition opportunities and emboldening us to be better and do better for our work. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:20:35]: It's time to take a quick break and toss it over to producer Chris to learn what's going on in the NASPA world. Christopher Lewis [00:20:41]: Thanks so much, Jill. Glad to be back in the NASPA world. And as always, there's a ton happening in our association, and I'm really excited to be able to share some of these things with you. One of the first things that I wanted to share with you is that the 18th Manassa NASPA Conference will be hosted by Qatar University April 20 eigth to April 30, 2024. Right now, the call for programs is open, and the conference registration is open, and the early registration is open until January 31. The Manassa NASPA Conference provides student affairs practitioners with the knowledge and skills to effectively address and support college students. Higher education is witnessing a wide array of changes, especially in the era of fast technological evolution. This conference coming up. Christopher Lewis [00:21:36]: The theme of it is Student Affairs changes and Challenges in the Era of Emerging Technologies. It's a three day conference put on by NASPA and the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia or Manassa area. This is an opportunity to connect with colleagues both regionally and abroad, and the conference provides you with a space for discussing innovative ideas, adaptive approaches, use of technology, best practices, lessons learned, and provide tools to understand the next generation of student affairs. Definitely want to take advantage of the early registration rates that are open right now, and if your campus is in the Manassa region and would love to be considered for the 2025 Manassa NASPA Conference, the bid for that conference is currently open as well. You can find out more about this conference on the NASPA website and the bid for the 2025 hosting of the conference. Deadline for that is on February 15, 2024. You can find the Manassa NASPA Conference campus host Bid, the secure platform on the NASPA website. You can put in a bid right there to be able to be considered. Christopher Lewis [00:22:59]: The Fall 2023 Leadership Exchange magazine has been sent out. If you didn't see the email or haven't checked it out yet, I really encourage you to check it out. The theme of this issue is consolidation. Fosters collaboration. Advancing student success at a newly integrated institution. Inside of this issue, you're going to see a ton of great articles that are tailored to Vice Presidents for Student Affairs and other leaders in Student Affairs administration. Even if you're not at that level, I still encourage you to read the articles in this. They will challenge you, they'll push you, and they will encourage you to think about things in a different way. Christopher Lewis [00:23:40]: Also inside of this issue, you're going to find conversations about the college mental health cris. Also, you'll be able to learn what it's like to be a Vice President for Student Affairs through the lens of four new VPSAs and also thinking about holistic advising approaches to student success. This and more are a part of this Leadership Exchange, and I really encourage you to go and check it out for yourself. Go to the NASPA website, click on Publications, and go to the Leadership Exchange magazine. Christopher Lewis [00:24:13]: We're going to be sharing some amazing things that are happening within the association. So we are going to be able to try and keep you up to date on everything that's happening and allow for you to be able to get involved in different ways. Because the association is as strong as its members and for all of us, we have to find our place within the association, whether it be getting involved with a knowledge community, giving back within one of the centers or the divisions of the association. And as you're doing that, it's important to be able to identify for yourself where do you fit? Where do you want to give back? Each week. We're hoping that we will share some things that might encourage you, might allow for you to be able to get some ideas that will provide you with an opportunity to be able to say, hey, I see myself in. That knowledge, community. I see myself doing something like that or encourage you in other ways that allow for you to be able to think beyond what's available right now, to offer other things to the association, to bring your gifts, your talents to the association and to all of the members within the association. Because through doing that, all of us are stronger and the association is better. Christopher Lewis [00:25:33]: Tune in again next week as we find out more about what is happening in NASPA. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:25:37]: Another fantastic NASPA World segment. Producer Chris, we continue to appreciate you and all of your work to keep us informed on what's going on in and around NASPA. Brian, we have reached our lightning round. I have seven questions for you in about 90 seconds. Ready to do it? Brian Medina [00:25:52]: I love it. Let's do it. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:25:53]: All right. Number one, if you were a conference keynote speaker, what would your entrance music be? Brian Medina [00:25:58]: The entrance music that I already use. Crawling by Lincoln Park. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:02]: Number two, when you were five years old, what did you want to be when you grew up? Brian Medina [00:26:05]: I wanted to be a soccer star. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:07]: Number three, who's your most influential professional mentor? Brian Medina [00:26:10]: My former supervisor, Brenda Ice. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:12]: Number four, your essential student affairs. Read. Brian Medina [00:26:16]: Student affairs must read. I would have to say cast by Isabel Wilkerson. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:22]: Number five, the best TV show you binged during the pandemic. Brian Medina [00:26:25]: I have to admit that I haven't been watching many full shows lately, but I am a sucker for any historical docuseries, so please send your recommendations. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:34]: Number six, the podcast you've spent the most hours listening to in the last year. Brian Medina [00:26:39]: While I clearly love the SA Voices podcast, I also want to give a shout out to a friend of mine, Tracy Guy Decker, who recently developed a podcast called Deep Thoughts about Stupid Stuff but replaced the word stuff with something we're not allowed to say on the air. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:26:54]: And finally, number seven, any shoutouts you'd like to give, personal or professional? Brian Medina [00:26:58]: Always love to give shout outs to my peers and friends in the gender, sexuality, casey and other Casey's, and certainly. To my partner for continuing to hold space for me as I have shared my fullness on this podcast and beyond. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:27:10]: Ryan, I'm sure there are many listeners who would love to chat with you after the show airs. How can they find you? Brian Medina [00:27:15]: I'm less on social media. I would love to hear. If you'd like to send a long letter, send it snail mail or you can send an email at bamadina at. Umd.edu. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:27:28]: Ryan, it's been such a pleasure to talk with you. I always love getting to know other leaders in NASPA. There's so many of us, we don't always get to connect. So I want to say thank you so much for sharing your voice with us today. Brian Medina [00:27:38]: Thank you so much, Jill. It's been a pleasure. Dr. Jill Creighton [00:27:41]: This has been an episode of SA Voices from the Field, brought to you by NASPA. This show is always made possible because of you, our listeners.

On tomorrow's Ag Business Episode I am featuring an FFA student up for a National Proficiency Award in Ag Communications.  She has accomplished this by being an ag broadcaster at a radio station in Ohio.  Well, it just so happens that she was trained and mentored by last year's National Proficiency Winner in Ag Communications, Laura Wuebker, who was a guest on this show almost exactly one year ago.  I thought playing Laura's interview again today would be the perfect tie-in with tomorrow's National Proficiency Finalist interview.

Ze maakt deel uit van de toestand die terugbrengt wat nooit verloren was, en opnieuw bekrachtigt wat voor eeuwig en altijd waar is. Het is de uitnodiging aan Gods Woord om de plaats van illusies in te nemen, de bereidwilligheid om vergeving op alles te laten rusten, zonder uitzondering en zonder voorbehoud.Het is dit alles-insluitende karakter van de Wederkomst van Christus dat haar in staat stelt de wereld te omvangen en jou geborgen te houden in haar zachte komst, die jou en al wat leeft omvat. De bevrijding die de Wederkomst brengt, kent geen eind, daar Gods schepping niet anders dan grenzeloos kan zijn. Vergeving verlicht de weg van de Wederkomst, omdat ze alles als één beschijnt. En zo wordt eenheid ten langen leste herkend.De Wederkomst brengt de lessen die de Heilige Geest onderwijst tot een eind, en maakt zo plaats voor het Laatste Oordeel waarin al het leren eindigt in één laatste samenvatting die voorbij zichzelf zal reiken en zich uitstrekt tot God. De Wederkomst is het moment waarop alle denkgeesten in handen van Christus worden gelegd, om in naam van de ware schepping en de Wil van God aan de geest te worden teruggegeven.De Wederkomst is de enige gebeurtenis in de tijd waarop de tijd zelf geen invloed heeft. Want ieder die ooit kwam om te sterven, of die nog komen zal, of nu aanwezig is, wordt gelijkelijk bevrijd van wat hij heeft gemaakt. In die gelijkheid wordt Christus hersteld als één Identiteit, waarin de Zonen van God erkennen dat zij allen één zijn. En God de Vader glimlacht naar Zijn Zoon, Zijn ene schepping en Zijn enige vreugd.Bid dat de Wederkomst spoedig mag zijn, maar laat het daar niet bij. Ze heeft jouw ogen en oren en handen en voeten nodig. Ze heeft jouw stem nodig. En bovenal behoeft ze jouw bereidwilligheid. Laten we ons erin verheugen dat we Gods Wil kunnen doen, en ons verenigen in het heilig licht daarvan. Zie, de Zoon van God is één in ons, en door Hem kunnen we de Liefde van onze Vader bereiken.LES 306De gave van Christus is al wat ik zoek vandaag.Wat anders dan de visie van Christus zou ik vandaag willen aanwenden, wanneer die mij een dag kan bieden waarop ik een wereld zie die zo op de Hemel lijkt dat een aloude herinnering bij mij terugkeert? Vandaag kan ik de wereld die ik heb gemaakt vergeten. Vandaag kan ik aan alle angst voorbijgaan en liefde, heiligheid en vrede hervinden. Vandaag word ik verlost en opnieuw geboren in een wereld van genade en zorgzaamheid, van liefdevolle goedheid en de vrede van God.En zo, onze Vader, keren we terug tot U, terwijl we ons herinneren dat we nooit zijn weggegaan, en ons herinneren welke Uw heilige gaven zijn aan ons. Dankbaar en erkentelijk komen we, met lege handen, met open hart en open denkgeest, en vragen slechts om wat U geeft. Wij kunnen niets aanbieden wat toereikend is voor Uw Zoon. Maar in Uw Liefde is de gave van Christus de zijne.

Vergelijkingen verstommen ten overstaan van deze vrede. En heel de wereld gaat in stilte heen wanneer deze vrede haar omhult en haar met zachtheid naar de waarheid voert, niet langer nu de woonplaats van de angst. Want liefde is gekomen en heeft de wereld genezen door haar de vrede van Christus te geven.Vader, de vrede van Christus is ons gegeven, omdat het Uw Wil is dat wij zijn verlost. Help ons vandaag Uw gave alleen aan te nemen en niet te beoordelen. Want ze is tot ons gekomen om ons te verlossen van ons oordeel over onszelf.

Ik kan mijn heilige blik vertroebelen, als ik er mijn wereld aan opdring. Ik kan ook de heilige beelden die Christus ziet niet aanschouwen, tenzij ik Zijn visie aanwend. Waarneming is een spiegel, en geen feit. Wat ik zie is de staat van mijn denkgeest die naar buiten is gespiegeld. Ik wil de wereld zegenen door er met de ogen van Christus naar te kijken. En ik zal de onbetwistbare tekenen zien dat al mijn zonden mij vergeven zijn.U leidt me uit het duister naar het licht, uit zonde naar heiligheid. Laat me vergeving schenken en zo voor de wereld verlossing ontvangen. Het is Uw gave, Vader, die mij gegeven wordt om te schenken aan Uw heilige Zoon, zodat hij de herinnering van U en van Uw Zoon zoals U hem geschapen hebt, weer vinden kan.
