It's a common refrain: AI is neither good nor bad because that depends on how its used. Professor Anita Say Chan begs to differ. Chan is the author of Predatory Data: Eugenics in Big Tech and Our Fight for an Independent Future (U California Press, 2025). Chan is Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences and Department of Media and Cinema Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as well as the author of a prior book Networking Peripheries on tech movements among craftwork communities in Peru. In her current book, Chan documents how the Big Data on which AI are trained are based on long-standing data infrastructures—sets of practices, policies, and logics—that remove, imperil, devalue, and actively harm people who refuse to conform to racialized patriarchal power structures and the priorities of surveillance capitalism—most pointedly immigrant, feminist, and low-income communities. Centered mostly in the United States as well as Latin America, Predatory Data shows how the eugenicist data practices of the past now shape our present. But her approach is fundamentally a politics of pluralism. Chan dedicates half of the book to amplifying and praising the small-scale, community-led projects of the past and present—from the legendary Hull House's data visualizations to community data initiatives in Champaign, Illinois. There is much fuel for political outrage in this book and also fodder for solidarity and hope. This interview was a collaborative effort among Professor Laura Stark and students at Vanderbilt University in the course, “The Politics of AI.” Please email Laura with any feedback on the interview or questions about how to design collaborative interview projects for the classroom. email: laura.stark@vanderbilt.edu .

In this episode of the Awesome Marriage podcast, Lindsay and Dr. Kim discuss the importance of resolving conflict in a faith-centered, biblical way. They debunk the myth that Christian couples do not experience conflict and emphasize that conflict can lead to growth and deeper intimacy in relationships. Learn the biblical principles for handling conflict, practical steps for effective communication, and the significance of humility and selflessness in marriage.   Episode highlights include: Timeouts can help manage heated discussions. Keeping short accounts prevents resentment from building up. Using the silent treatment is a form of emotional manipulation. Bringing up past conflicts as weapons is unhealthy for marriage. Involving others in conflicts before addressing them with your spouse can create triangles of conflict. Taking responsibility for one's actions is crucial in resolving conflicts. Prayer is a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy marriage. Biblical principles provide a framework for resolving conflicts effectively.   Couples Conversation Guide:  Main takeaway:  You will experience conflict with your spouse, and when you do it's important to keep the Lord at the center of the conversation. Remember your spouse is not your enemy and words shouldn't be your weapon. Acknowledge your part and be quick to forgive.    Questions to Discuss:  Which area of conflict resolution do you need the most help in- bringing up the past, resorting to the silent treatment, or taking responsibility for your part? Have you brought that struggle to the Lord and invited Him into the conflict in your marriage?    QUOTES  Conflict is normal and if done right can help our marriage grow. Even though we are both seeking to follow Christ, we are human. If your kids see you doing that, they want that, and it gives them security. Having a marriage that's not life-giving, can drain you so quick. It zaps your energy. When a couple is able to get past the things keeping them at odds, it goes beyond the marriage too. I can't meet all her needs, but God can.

Hey friend—whether you're folding laundry, waiting in the school pickup line, or hiding out in the bathroom for a moment of quiet (we've all been there!), I'm so glad you're here. In today's episode, we're talking about something every Christian working mom wrestles with: How do you stay intentional and productive—without burning out? Spoiler alert: this isn't about waking up at 5am or sticking to a Pinterest-perfect routine. It's about slowing down, finding God's grace in the chaos, and discovering how to work from a place of peace rather than depletion. We'll walk through practical, faith-rooted ways to: Do less and actually get more done (yes, it's possible!) Use unfinished tasks to spark more focus and creativity Turn your scattered time into sacred moments of connection with God Build a productivity rhythm that aligns with your God-given wiring—not someone else's system This episode is for the mom who feels stretched thin, who's tired of unrealistic standards, and who wants to live a life that's more present, peaceful, and purpose-driven. In This Episode: [2:30] Why doing less might be your secret weapon to getting more done [5:00] The power of leaving things unfinished on purpose—and how it boosts clarity [7:30] How to transform small, scattered moments into sacred time with God [10:30] Why your unique rhythms matter and how to build a life around them [13:00] A reminder that your worth isn't tied to productivity—God's rest is a gift, not a reward Key Bible Verse: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 Try This This Week: Schedule one “holy pause” into your day—just 15 minutes to sit with God Embrace “good enough” in one area of your life and watch how freeing it feels Assign a spiritual practice to three small windows of your day (car line, brushing teeth, stirring dinner) Ditch one productivity rule that makes you feel like you're not enough—and replace it with grace   #ChristianWorkingMom #GraceOverHustle #IntentionalLiving #FaithInTheEveryday #RestIsHoly #PeaceInTheChaos #MomLifeWithGod #JesusOverEverything #SoulCare #PresenceOverPerfection

Paul's admonitions to the church in our passage are better understood in context of the issues arising in Corinth. Chapters 1-6 highlight particular problems including divisions in the body over superficial leadership preferences, worldly sexual norms corrupting the church, and frivolous legal cases between brothers in Christ. In addition to these internal issues, there was the looming threat of historic external persecution and hardship the church would soon encounter. All the more reason to address the tendency toward man-centeredness in the Corinthian church head on. Under the current conditions, the church would likely not survive the day of testing. Paul appeals to his personal convictions and application of the call to all believers to take up his cross and follow Christ. If the church would seek first the kingdom of God and prioritize the glory of Christ in their personal lives, covenant relationships, and highest ideals, her lampstand would remain.

In the concluding week of Join The Revolution, Ps John Crawford shares a powerful reflection on Jesus' radical love for the outcast. Centered around the Samaritan woman at the well, this episode explores how one encounter with Jesus can restore dignity, rewrite destinies, and spark revival in an entire community. With honesty, warmth, and a call to action, John reminds us that no one is too far gone and that everyone we lock eyes with matters to God. Whether you feel like the outlier or the inviter, this revolution of peace is your invitation to come—and see.

Matty Berryessa, Executive Director of Serendipity Center, shares his journey from a difficult upbringing to leading a therapeutic school for students with complex needs. Drawing parallels between supporting students and staff, he implements trauma-informed practices focused on emotional safety, trust, and predictability. Despite resource constraints, Matty maintains boundaries between work and home life while advocating for sustainable mission-driven work that prevents vulnerable students from falling through the cracks.   TAKEAWAYS Leaders should apply trauma-informed principles to workplace management, recognizing that adults are "better rehearsed kids" who perform best in environments with safety, predictability, and trust. Setting personal boundaries is essential for sustainable leadership in emotionally demanding work, as exemplified by Matty's practice of mentally transitioning before arriving home. Mission-driven organizations like Serendipity face unique challenges in resource acquisition while maintaining ethical boundaries around sharing the vulnerable populations they serve.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

On this episode of Human Centered, host Nick Brunker welcomes Jason Gaikowski, VML's Chief Transformation Officer, to explore how AI is transforming creativity in marketing. Jason describes our industry's "engagement addiction" as creating "junk food for the soul" and argues we're experiencing an "event horizon" - a profound shift comparable to the industrial revolution. They discuss how AI might democratize creativity beyond creative departments, why questions will become more valuable than answers in an AI world, and the imperative to ensure machines work for us rather than the reverse. This conversation challenges us to reimagine our relationship with technology and rediscover creativity's true purpose: improving people's lives rather than simply driving engagement metrics.Also be sure to check out Jason's new podcast, The Opinion Party!

President Donald Trump has promised to carry out a mass deportation effort that would remove millions of immigrants residing illegally in the United States. Will the massive scale of deportations improve the U.S. economy and deliver greater job prospects for U.S.-born workers, as Trump has claimed?   In early March, “México Centered” host Tony Payan examined the issue with Chloe East, an associate professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver, for the “Conversations on Migration” series, a monthly virtual series hosted by the Baker Institute Migration Initiative. East explained why mass deportations don't actually help U.S.-born workers and why Trump's proposed deportations will instead come with a significant price tag.   Learn how to attend the “Conversations on Migration” series at https://www.bakerinstitute.org/migration-initiative.

In this episode, I answer a question from Laura, a grad student in Canada who's navigating how to stay fully adherent to the CCPT model during dramatic play—especially when a child assigns her a role and expects her to act it out. I walk through how we maintain a reflective stance even in highly structured, imaginative play by using techniques like whispering, wondering, and deflecting responsibility back to the child. I also share how to handle situations when children try to reverse roles or assign the therapist decision-making power. These moments are rich with therapeutic potential—but only if we stay rooted in the model. From session one, we set the tone by never taking the lead, never making decisions, and always allowing the child's cues to guide the play. This episode will help you confidently navigate dramatic play scenarios without ever stepping outside the CCPT framework. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

The open house of our passage stands in stark contrast to the temptation of the adulteress in chapter 7.  In chapter 9 we receive an invitation to Lady Wisdom's residence.  Notice how she prepares her household for the occasion. Rather than the seductive couch coverings, Egyptian linens, myrrh/aloe/cinnamon perfumed bed of the temptress (7:16-17), Wisdom sets pillars and prepares a feast (9:1-2). Next she sends out her servants to call all who will heed her voice to come and dine. Her servants call to the simple and those lacking sense: “Turn in here, come, eat of my bread?” While some heed her invitation, many pay no attention as they sit down at the Woman Folly's table to a meal of stolen water and secret bread (17). Which table do you prefer? Be careful which you choose! For those who sit down with Lady Wisdom, they will appreciate her preparation, invitation, and conversation .
