We're back from a short break with the first half of our annual Synod 2026 preview — and this is not a back-to-normal agenda. The Council of Delegates is bringing 27 recommendations forward, and Jason, Dan, and Willy walk through the bigger buckets the people in the pew should actually be paying attention to. We dig into Recommendation K (Saturday-to-Saturday synod and the Lord's Day problem), Recommendation O (the quiet authority shift on the Program Committee), the biennial synods proposal in Y and Z, and the pay-to-play two-tier ministry shares scheme tucked into Overture 32. Overture 30 from Georgetown is the financial transparency we should already have. Underneath all of it sits a trust crisis the denomination keeps trying to solve by demanding more trust — when before trust always comes transparency. The episode lands in the defining membership task force, where Dan calls us to stop rushing people into membership, Willy distinguishes commitment from understanding, and Jason wrestles honestly with both sides of a question that isn't yet resolved. The reformation isn't done. Keep pushing.

"Kanskje vi kan prøve noe nytt? Jeg hørte det er en kanotur i fjorden," foreslo hun ivrig.En: Ingrid eyed him with a playful glint. "Perhaps we can try something new? I heard there's a canoe trip on the fjord," she suggested eagerly.No: Hun var alltid den som utfordret normene og søkte eventyr, til Lars' blandete glede og irritasjon.En: She was always the one to challenge norms and seek adventure, to Lars' mixed delight and irritation.No: Signe, den yngste som vanligvis ble glemt i diskusjonene, nikket stille.En: Signe, the youngest who was usually forgotten in discussions, nodded quietly.No: Hun så ned på koppen sin og ønsket å bli hørt.En: She looked down at her cup, wishing to be heard.No: "Jeg tror en kombinasjon kan være gøy. Hva med først fjelltur, så kano?" foreslo hun forsiktig.En: "I think a combination could be fun. What about a mountain hike first, then canoeing?" she suggested cautiously.No: Øynene hennes lyste opp i håp om at forslaget hennes kunne få innpass.En: Her eyes lit up with hope that her suggestion might gain traction.No: Lars pustet dypt inn, kjente barnesynet av tradisjon vs. fornyelse stige opp i ham.En: Lars took a deep breath, feeling the childhood conflict of tradition vs. renewal rise within him.No: Han var kjent for å verdsette påskens familieaktiviteter – de var en kjær tilbakekalling til deres barndom.En: He was known to value Easter family activities—they were a cherished callback to their childhood.No: Men han var også bevisst på at selv de sterkeste steiner kan erodere over tid hvis de ikke tilpasser seg til endring.En: But he was also aware that even the strongest rocks can erode over time if they don't adapt to change.No: På stien opp mot fjellet, hvor landskapet åpnet seg i en mosaikk av grønne knauser og stille vann, steg stemningen blant søsknene.En: On the trail up the mountain, where the landscape opened into a mosaic of green hills and still waters, the mood among the siblings lifted.No: Det var akkurat da Ingrid begynte å snakke om ideene sine om innovasjon, og Signe så sitt snitt.En: It was just then that Ingrid began talking about her ideas on innovation, and Signe seized her moment.No: "Jeg tror vi kan gjøre begge deler. Tradisjoner kan gi oss rammer, men nye ting kan gi oss minner. Kanskje vi gir det en sjanse?" sa Signe med nyfunnet selvsikkerhet.En: "I think we can do both. Traditions can give us a framework, but new things can give us memories. Maybe we should give it a chance?" said Signe with newfound confidence.No: Lars stoppet og så utover fjorden.En: Lars stopped and looked out over the fjord.No: Det var noe beroligende ved det, en konstant i en verden av forandring.En: There was something calming about it, a constant in a world of change.No: "Ingrid, Signe," begynte han alvorlig, men med et smil, "La oss prøve det Signe foreslår. En blanding. Vi kan finne ut av dette sammen."En: "Ingrid, Signe," he began seriously, but with a smile, "Let's try what Signe suggests. A mix. We can figure this out together."No: Ingrid lo og kastet en liten stein i vannet, fornøyd med at hennes ånd for eventyr kunne flettes sammen med fortiden.En: Ingrid laughed and tossed a small stone into the water, pleased that her spirit of adventure could be woven together with the past.No: Signe lo med, lettet og glad over å ha blitt hørt.En: Signe laughed too, relieved and happy to have been heard.No: Lars trakk pusten dypt, en følelse av frihet å kunne slippe litt på tøylene han alltid hadde holdt så stramt.En: Lars took a deep breath, feeling a sense of freedom in being able to let go a little of the reins he always held so tightly.No: Fjorden hadde sett det skje før, og ville se det skje igjen.En: The fjord had seen it happen before and would see it happen again.No: Familien hadde funnet en ny vei sammen, en vei hvor tradisjon og fornyelse hånd i hånd skapte noe vakkert.En: The family had found a new path together, one where tradition and innovation hand in hand created something beautiful.No: Da kvelden senket seg, satte de seg ned igjen ved hytta, hvor lukten av pinnekjøtt fylte luften, akkurat som i gamle dager, men med en ny følelse av samhold.En: As the evening fell, they sat down again by the cabin, where the smell of pinnekjøtt filled the air, just like in the old days, but with a new sense of togetherness.No: Fjorden hvisket hemmelighetene til klippene, og denne påskeferien ble en de aldri ville glemme.En: The fjord whispered secrets to the cliffs, and this påskeferie became one they would never forget.

Send us Fan MailYour phone shows a dot on a screen until it doesn't and that's usually the exact moment the trail splits or the shoreline stops making sense. We're Pamela and Tim from SuperGoodCamping.com, and we're on a mission to help families get outside with more confidence. Map skills aren't old-school trivia; they're the difference between a stressful guess and a calm, clear choice when you're hiking, camping, or paddling with no service.We dig into why paper maps still matter, especially in places where coverage is dodgy or disappears fast. We compare the map types you'll actually see on real trips: simple Ontario Parks park maps for car camping, trail maps for day hikes, and topographic maps for backcountry travel and canoe routes where contour lines and portages matter. We also talk digital navigation tools like AllTrails, Gaia GPS, maps.me, and Avenza, plus how downloading maps ahead of time and carrying a battery pack turns your phone into a helpful backup instead of your only plan. Satellite imagery can add context too, as long as it supports rather than replaces a proper map.Then we make map reading feel doable: orienting your map with a compass or the sun, matching landmarks to what you see around you, understanding scale so “not far” doesn't become a two-hour slog, and using contour lines to avoid surprise climbs. We share practical habits, common mistakes, and a quick pre-trip checklist, plus why good navigation supports Leave No Trace by keeping you from wandering off trail. If you want to feel grounded in the outdoors and teach your kids a skill that makes camping more fun, this one's for you.Subscribe for more simple camping skills, share this with a friend who relies on their phone, and leave a review with your best navigation tip or your funniest “wrong turn” story.As promised - the app suggested by Jeff of Maps by Jeff: ArcGIS EarthSupport the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcampingSupport the show

One of our earliest conversations, recorded in 2018 with Tod Bolsinger about his groundbreaking book Canoeing the Mountains. Tod explores what it means to lead in uncharted territory, the difference between technical and adaptive challenges, and how leaders can navigate change when the old maps no longer work. This conversation helped shape the direction of this podcast and remains essential listening for anyone leading through uncertainty.Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!Big rooms light up when students feel seen, safe, and invited to play a real part—on stage, on screen, and in their small groups. We open with CIY's interactive team and how they're hijacking Unreal Engine to turn LED walls into living sets, sync visuals with stage moments, and run games that respond to what's actually happening in the room. It's not spectacle for spectacle's sake; it's a toolkit that supports hosts, speakers, and students with genuine interaction and cohesive storytelling.Then we shift to Jon Lee of Northeast Christian Church, who lays out a compelling case for “tried and true” youth ministry. His team runs a clear weekly rhythm—large group teaching and worship followed by grade-and-gender small groups—because predictability lowers anxiety, makes invitations easier, and creates the safety students need for honest talk. The creativity doesn't vanish; it moves to retreats, camps, and mission trips where novelty can breathe without disrupting trust. Jon also shares Northeast's values language—belong before you believe, groups are where you grow, saved people serve people—and how repeating it across spaces turns identity into action, with a majority of students serving beyond student ministry.We dig into when to change models and “kill old dinosaurs,” including Northeast's post-COVID decision to integrate high schoolers more deeply into the broader church so college transitions feel natural. You'll hear practical ideas for first Wednesdays, middle school micro-teaching and table conversations, leadership pipelines that let high schoolers facilitate, and annual goal reviews that keep teams aligned. We also swap resources shaping their approach: Canoeing the Mountains, Working Genius, and the habit of learning from other churches instead of leading in a silo.If you're ready to reduce friction, deepen engagement, and place creativity where it has the most impact, this conversation will sharpen your calendar and your culture.

Do you remember when you got your first pocketknife?Cody got his first pocketknife as a birthday present from his grinning grandfather under the watchful scowl of his mother.  The first thing he did was cut himself and get a bandaid put on his finger.As he grew in years and maturity, he learned to responsibly handle his knife, and went on to teach other boys how to sharpen, care for, and safely use their knives.  But it all started with a cut.Boys need curated danger– the opportunity to run real risks, albeit small ones, to test themselves against life.  Give your son the gift of risk.  Canoeing, football, and rock-climbing all have their risks, but pay their rewards in character.For more information about raising your son into a godly man, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

Episode 218 of The Adventure Podcast features writer, journalist, and adventurer, Adam Weymouth. Over a decade ago, Adam undertook a year-long journey, walking from England to Istanbul. What grew out of burnout from frontline climate activism became a personal experiment in pilgrimage, slowness, and meaning. Adam talks about canoeing the length of the Yukon River while following the salmon run, and walking across the Alps in the footsteps of a lone wolf whose thousand-mile journey helped repopulate parts of Europe. Together with Matt, he explores his earlier years as an environmental activist, including arrests, a high-profile trial, and the emotional toll of sustained direct action. And how it pushed Adam to search for new ways of communicating environmental stories. This is a conversation about walking away from the noise. Slow travel, pilgrimage, storytelling, and how adventure can create empathy rather than spectacle.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

Send us a textThe camp stove shouldn't be where flavour goes to die. We sat down with Liz and Wally from Wanderless Kitchen to share how they turned heirloom South Asian recipes into plant‑based dehydrated meals that pack light, rehydrate fast, and taste like home after a long day on the water or trail. Their journey starts in Lahore's kitchens, winds through a windy first paddle on Georgian Bay, and lands in a commercial kitchen where “a pinch” gave way to spreadsheets, tilting skillets, and hard‑won texture tests.We dig into what makes dehydrated meals go wrong—chewy bits, pasty sauces, mushy or underdone rice—and how thoughtful ingredient choices flip the script. Dals became the stars: brown lentils that hold their shape, moong dal that turns silky, and basmati rice that stays long‑grained and separate. You'll hear the story behind three signature meals—Masur Dal Chawal, Chikor Chole, and Moong Dal Chawal—why they're all plant‑based, and how limiting oils preserves both flavour and performance in the dehydrator. This isn't “moon food.” It's smoky cardamom, cinnamon warmth, and nutty comfort that passes the ultimate test: family approval.Beyond the recipes, we talk about scaling up without losing soul: renting a commercial kitchen, investing in larger dehydrators, logging every gram for consistency, and learning packaging the hard way so you don't have to. Community demos at MEC and paddling festivals proved that if people can taste it, they get it—good calories can be delicious calories. If you've ever dreaded a bland boil‑in‑bag after a cold paddle or steep portage, this conversation will reset your expectations for backcountry meals.Explore authentic flavour that travels.

Send us a textA “short day” on the Temagami River can still knock the wind out of you. We set out expecting easy miles and found five portages, two line-throughs, low water, and a masterclass in patience instead. Between scraping rental hulls and threading skinny lines through swifts, we had to read the river moment by moment—scout when the tongue vanished, line when rocks stacked too tight, and save our pride for camp. It wasn't epic in distance, but it was rich in decisions, teamwork, and small wins that add up.We walk through how low water changes everything: where V's lie, how eddies give you breath, and why a gentle pillow can signal a lurking boulder. You'll hear our decision tree for run vs. line, how we split loads on back-to-back portages, and the subtle cues that tell you when to step out and rope the canoe. We also talk mindset—keeping humour when progress crawls, measuring success in clean ferries rather than kilometres, and staying safe without killing the fun. The Temagami River demanded respect; we paid it with caution, conversation, and a few fresh scratches.The day ends the way river days should: at Greg's Escape from Reality cabin, warm food on the way, and a quiet room that lets the stories breathe. We share shout-outs to friends like Thunderbox Diaries, compare notes on route choices, and build a few takeaways for your next trip. If you're planning a canoe route with variable water levels, you'll pick up practical tips on scouting, lining, and pacing a team through “short” days that aren't. Hit play, settle in, and then tell us your best trick for tight, rocky swifts.If you enjoyed the journey, follow along on Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, YouTube, and Spotify, and send us a note at hi@supergoodcamping.com.

Send us a textWarm October sun, a gentle river, and the sweet spot between skills and ease—day two on Temagami delivered a slow-burn kind of joy. We kept the mileage short, dialled in our teamwork over breakfast, and spent the afternoon playing in friendly rapids with boats light and smiles wide. If you've wondered how to design a canoe-camping day that builds confidence without chasing distance, this is the blueprint.We break down the day from a compact portage around a falls to the practical art of ferrying and S turns—how to set an angle, read a tongue of current, and keep hips loose so the boat does the work. With the water as coach, we lap the same feature to sharpen timing and control, proving you don't need big whitewater to grow river sense. Along the shore, camp takes shape early: tents pitched, late lunch enjoyed, and a quick, bracing swim to rinse off the trail dust. The heat feels surreal for October, which brings its own lessons in layering and hydration for shoulder-season paddling.Fishing fans get their moment too. Jared hooks a solid bass and lets it go, a small but clear nod to stewardship and Leave No Trace. We talk safety without killing the vibe: why intentional swims are the only ones we'll accept, how throw bags and buddy systems add margin, and when to say yes to one more lap versus calling it a day. With a relaxed plan for tomorrow—likely a couple of small rapids, a short paddle, and a meet-up with Greg in the afternoon—we lean into the idea that a great trip balances play and planning.If you love canoe camping, Temagami routes, beginner whitewater, or simply hearing the river in the background while you plan your next adventure, you'll feel right at home here. Follow along for practical tips, warm camp stories, and the small wins that turn a simple day into a standout memory.

*How do you lead change when you don't know where you are going (yet)? * Today I sit down with Brian Miller, a change management expert from Coach Approach Ministries, to talk about adaptive change. Adaptive change is when you know something needs to change, but you don't yet know what the solution is. It's not just fixing a broken pipe—it's realizing the whole plumbing system might need to be rethought. It's the kind of change that requires people to shift their values, beliefs, and behaviors, not just learn a new skill. And that's why it's hard—because it's not just about doing something different, it's about becoming someone different. When you lead this kind of change, the danger isn't just that people leave—it's that they check out. So Brian focuses on the following things: keep the pace people can handle, invite them into shaping the vision, really listen to the voices of concern, and anchor the change in habits and identity. That way, people don't just stick around—they stay engaged in the mission.

Have you ever dreamed of exploring French villages at your own pace? In this episode, Village-Hopping in the Dordogne and Beyond: A Traveler's Guide with Jackie Barnes, host Annie Sargent talks with traveler Jackie Barnes about her recent road trip through one of France's most beautiful regions. Listen to this episode ad-free Jackie shares how she and her family designed a flexible Dordogne road trip that let them visit charming towns, sample local food, and enjoy the landscape without feeling rushed. From famous stops like Sarlat and Rocamadour to less crowded villages along the river, Jackie explains what made each place special. She also talks about driving in rural France, finding parking in small towns, and the importance of leaving room in your schedule for spontaneous discoveries. Annie and Jackie compare notes on French markets, restaurants, and the kind of authentic encounters that happen when you stay in smaller inns or gîtes instead of big hotels. They also highlight cultural differences, from the rhythm of French mealtimes to how Sundays feel completely different compared to North America. This episode is packed with practical tips for anyone planning to go beyond Paris and explore provincial France. You'll hear why renting a car is essential, how to balance sightseeing with relaxation, and which Dordogne villages Jackie would happily return to again.

Mac DeMarco has long been loved for his laid-back guitar noodlings and so called “slacker” rock. He sometimes calls it "jizz jazz", but whatever it is, it's gained him a loving fanbase across the world.For the past few years, Mac has moved away from traditional albums in favour of brain dumping huge swaths of music – a lot of it without lyrics. But now he's returned with an old school album, and for him he says it's capturing the essence of where he's at right now. What matters.On the day he released Guitar, I invited Mac to Take 5. Fall into Mac's world, you'll feel better for it.Mac DeMarco's Take 5 song choices:Martin Kolberger + Ralf Illenburger – 'Waves'Akiko Yano – 'A Worried Girl'Michael Manring – 'Welcoming'Bruce Cockburn – 'You Get Bigger As You Go'Bob Dylan – 'Alberta #1'00:21 Mac DeMarco's Musical Journey01:13 Reflecting on Life and Music03:06 The Essence of Music and Collaboration05:45 Martin Kolberger + Ralf Illenburger – 'Waves'06:23 Philosophical Musings and Personal Anecdotes09:25 Akiko Yano and Musical Inspirations13:39 Akiko Yano – 'A Worried Girl'14:08 Guitars and Their Stories16:37 Canoeing and Nature's Influence on Music19:27 Michael Manring – 'Welcoming'20:18 Exploring Jazz and Its Mystique23:01 Creating Music Independently25:58 Reflecting on Canadian Roots29:39 Bruce Cockburn – 'You Get Bigger As You Go'30:06 Reflecting on new album Guitar and singing falsetto more33:26 The Influence of Bob Dylan37:20 Bob Dylan – 'Alberta #1'38:11 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsOther Take 5 episodes like this:Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne CoyneLucy DacusSharon Van Etten

This week we're joined by Peter Frank, the young man who's spent over 400 days canoeing “The Great Loop” and still has quite a ways to go. Peter draws a crowd whenever he paddles through a community and is cheered on by well-wishers. Wearing clothes he made to resemble French sailors from a by gone era, the sight of this determined young man who resembles a pirate creates lots of questions. We wanted answers so we snatched him up at the local boat ramp, fed him, and asked away! It's all about determination, chasing adventures, enjoying nature and getting enough calories to fuel paddling 20 plus miles a day — mostly upstream.  Listen, Learn and Enjoy. To learn more about the Florida Wild Turkey Project Fundraiser Click Here To donate directly to the Florida Wild Turkey Project Click Here  Send a text message to the show!

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Josh Hayden, the author of Remissioning Church: A Field guide for Bringing a Congregation Back to Life, shares wisdom from his own journey—moving from church planting to leading a 158-year-old congregation—and he helps us understand the difference between revitalization and remissioning.  He also talks about the power of what he calls “creative destruction” and reflects on the hope that churches and people really can change. If you are a ministry leader wondering how to lead your church through deep transformation and discovering a renewed mission, you'll find both encouragement and practical guidance in this conversation.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Josh Hayden explains that remissioning involves inside-out transformation of the church through discipleship for the sake of neighbors and the world.Revitalization focuses on refreshing existing programs, while remissioning addresses deeper, DNA-level transformation.Josh Hayden underscores the importance of listening first—both to the church and the neighborhood—before making plans for change.Markus Watson highlights the challenge new pastors face in established churches, including resistance, sabotage, and managing change.Remissioning leaders must exegete both their congregation and their community to identify gaps and opportunities for meaningful connection.Josh Hayden stresses that successful remissioning requires teamwork; pastors must not attempt change alone.Markus Watson reflects on the emotional challenges of change, including the shame spiral that can occur when a church confronts its shortcomings.Josh Hayden illustrates the shame spiral with an example of unnoticed “No Running in the Halls” signs that undermined stated values of hospitality.Remissioning involves inviting the congregation into a process of repentance, learning, and transformation, rather than imposing outside solutions.Josh Hayden shares how tradition-to-innovation means honoring a church's history while translating it into practices that serve current needs.Experiments in ministry should create shared experiences that allow for evaluation, learning, and adaptation over time.Josh Hayden describes creative destruction as embracing necessary endings so new life can emerge, drawing analogy from nature and industry.Effective change involves creating feedback loops, town hall conversations, and allowing time for the congregation to process and adapt.Not all experiments or changes need to succeed; failed experiments still provide valuable lessons for ongoing transformation.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Josh Hayden:Iwa Collabora websiteBooks mentioned:Remissioning Church, by Josh HaydenCanoeing the Mountains, by Tod BolsingerRelated episodes:16.

This podcast features a deep conversation with Tod Bolsinger, who emphasizes the vital importance of adaptive leadership in a rapidly changing world. He draws on his experience as a pastor and consultant to highlight how leaders must not only adapt their strategies but also transform themselves and their communities to thrive. Tod shares insights from his book, "Canoeing the Mountains," using the historical context of Lewis and Clark's expedition as a metaphor for navigating uncharted territory in leadership. Throughout the episode, he discusses the critical characteristics of effective leaders, including technical competence, relational congruence, and adaptive capacity, while providing practical advice on how to cultivate these traits. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on fostering communal transformation and the courage required to embrace uncertainty as they lead their organizations through change.Takeaways: Leadership is about energizing a community towards transformation to accomplish a shared mission. Adaptive capacity is crucial as leaders face changing environments and shifting cultural contexts. Trust is essential for transformation, but it does not guarantee that transformation will occur. Best practices may not work in new contexts, requiring leaders to adapt and innovate. Relational congruence fosters trust, enabling leaders to effectively guide their communities through change. To lead effectively, one must discern core values and adapt them wisely in a changing world.

There are across the country more than 430 units of the National Park System. And no doubt, most of us are only familiar with the so-called name brand parks. Places like Shenandoah, Acadia, Everglades, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon… But just because you're not already familiar with a park unit doesn't mean you should write it off your to-do list. While I am familiar with the names of most park units due to my day job, I haven't had the chance to visit them all just yet. Being a lover of water and paddling, when I consider going for a break from the keyboard, I often have a requirement that water is required. And while I haven't been there yet, I am intrigued by St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and its two rivers.  Today I'm going to learn a little bit more about this interesting park and share with you my conversation with Nate Toering, the park's Director of Communications and Education.
