Podcasts about changing culture

In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom Mason and Tomas Emery are joined by culture change instigator, author,  speaker, and CEO of Fearless Culture Gustavo Razzetti to explore how the conversations we have, or avoid, shape organisational culture. Drawing on the ideas from his latest book, Forward Talk, Gustavo discusses the concept of conversational debt and explains why so many leadership challenges stem from misalignment, unspoken issues and conversations that never happen. Together, they discuss psychological safety, groupthink, trust and collaboration, while sharing practical ways leaders can create cultures where people feel heard, take ownership and work more effectively together. This episode is for leaders, coaches and anyone looking to build stronger teams through better conversations. Connect with Gustavo on LinkedIn Gustavo's website Gustavo's latest book: Forward Talk

Dr. Rex M. Rogers is the former president of Cornerstone University and, subsequent to that, of SAT-7 USA. He is the author and voice of his podcast called Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M Rogers. In his podcast, Rex applies unchanging biblical principles in our rapidly changing world and provides a very helpful Christian worldview of current issues and everyday life. His books include Be One of God's Unlikely Leaders—Live With Focus, Get Things Done, Gambling: Don't Bet On It, Christian Liberty: Living for God in a Changing Culture, and, most recently, "We Hold These Truths"—Responsible Christian Patriotism. Learn more about Rex at www.rexmrogers.com. In this podcast, Rex helps us better understand the ungodly trends that have been impacting our nation in recent years and how, apart from God's people choosing to rise up and courageously lead by sharing the truth in love to all aspects of our culture, we are heading to a very bleak future. It's clear that only the nation with virtuous citizens who are seeking to live lives pleasing to God can truly be given liberty by their government. Otherwise, due to man's sinful nature, government will be required to grow more powerful and controlling in its attempt to preserve a degree of peace and safety. Rex also shares how all leaders—including Christian pastors—need a degree of loving but truthful accountability to keep them from going "off the rails" with hubris and/or other sinful issues.

Tony Bova always felt different growing up — and the path to becoming a Massachusetts State Trooper was anything but straight. After getting rejected from law enforcement multiple times he became a Boston paramedic first before finally breaking through to the Massachusetts State Police. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Tony opens up about everything — the early days on the job the first calls that hit different why traffic stops and construction sites are genuinely some of the most dangerous situations a trooper faces and what moving into homicide and death investigations really looks like. He shares the cases and calls that will never leave him and opens up about something most law enforcement stories never address honestly — that the hardest parts of his career weren't the job itself but his personal life. After 10 years he medically retired following an injury and has been processing everything that came with it ever since. _____________________________________________ #cops #truecrimecommunity #lawenforcement _____________________________________________ Connect with Tony Bova: https://www.instagram.com/tonyjbova/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Tony Bova: Journey to Law Enforcement 02:00 Growing Up: Family, Culture, & Early Struggles 08:00 Education Challenges & Early Career Choices 11:00 Pursuing Law Enforcement: Barriers & Rejections 17:00 Paramedic Detour & Boston EMS 21:00 Finally Breaking Through: State Police Academy 25:00 Changing Culture in Law Enforcement 33:00 First Patrol Experiences & Stress 37:00 Responding to Major Calls & Homicide Scenes 42:00 Staying Calm Under Pressure 49:00 Getting Older in the Job & Life Experience 01:01:00 Traffic Stops, Crashes, & Public Safety 01:13:00 Transition Into Investigations Work 01:17:00 Inside Homicide Investigations 01:24:00 Personal Impact of the Job & Home Life Balance 01:32:00 Mental Health, Growth & Overcoming Challenges 01:39:00 Leaving the Force & New Direction 01:41:00 Coaching, Relationships, & Lessons Learned _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Rob and Ted sit down with Brian Bell of Calvary Murrieta to talk through what church leadership looks like in a generation that looks very different from the one before it. They cover the real challenges pastors are navigating today, such as declining attendance, the grip of club sports on midweek schedules, and a broader cultural drift that has made shepherding a congregation more demanding than ever. They each share how they've adjusted both their mindsets and churches' approaches, and together offer some grounded, practical thinking for leaders facing the same pressures.--- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calvary Vista ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Reliance Church⁠⁠Calvary Murrieta

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin welcomes Dr. Daniel Saddawi‑Konefka, associate professor of anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and co-founder of the Emotional PPE Project, for a thoughtful conversation on improving access to mental health care for health care professionals. Dr. Saddawi‑Konefka shares the origins of the Emotional PPE Project, created during the COVID‑19 pandemic to connect clinicians with free, confidential, and accessible mental health support, and outlines its dual focus on immediate care and long‑term cultural change. The discussion explores the complex, multi‑layered barriers that prevent physicians and physician learners from seeking care, including stigma, fears around confidentiality and professional consequences, and persistent logistical challenges such as time, cost, and access. Dr. Saddawi‑Konefka highlights how deeply ingrained cultural norms in medicine can discourage help‑seeking, but emphasizes the importance of system‑level reform, leadership, and education in shifting those patterns. The conversation further examines the role of leadership and local culture in promoting psychological safety, normalizing vulnerability, and encouraging timely support for mental health needs. Dr. Saddawi‑Konefka also introduces the concepts of hedonic and eudaimonic well‑being, illustrating how both comfort and meaning are essential to sustaining fulfillment in medicine. Throughout the episode, listeners will gain practical insights into how reducing barriers, improving access to care, and fostering supportive environments can help health care professionals thrive while delivering high‑quality patient care.

Recorded live at SAND Community Gathering (April 2026). Watch the full conversion on the SAND Website. SAND has launched a special series on Artificial Intelligence. To premiere this series, we spoke with tech ethicist Tristan Harris—co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology. In this conversation, we explored his warnings about the impending age of AI. According to Harris, the current trajectory isn't just menacing the economy, but fundamentally rewiring human relationships, altering parenting and mental health, potentially accelerating climate collapse, and even threatening the very fabric of society. We inquired into ways to remain human in an era where machines can simulate empathy, displace our labor, and potentially outmaneuver us.

Movies have taught us what disability is supposed to look like for more than a century and too often the answer is a tired binary: tragedy or inspiration. We sit down with Isaac Zablocki, co-founder and CEO of ReelAbilities, and Lawrence Carter-Long, director of engagement, to talk about how their disability film festival is pushing for something better: authentic disability representation with nuance, artistry, and real authorship.We get into how RealAbilities grew out of a partnership between film expertise and disability community organizing, why they refuse to compromise on storytelling quality, and what they mean by “reframing disability.” For them, film is the front door and culture change is the larger goal, which is why the work goes beyond screenings into conversations, pipeline building, and leadership development for disabled creators across writing, directing, producing, editing, and programming.We also dig into accessibility and universal design, from audio description and captions to ASL and CART, with a focus on making access a built-in expectation rather than an add-on. Then we tackle AI in accessibility and entertainment: the upside of cheaper, more flexible tools like captions you can turn on anywhere, and the harder questions around AI-generated avatars, casting, and whether technology could “replace” disabled actors before the industry ever truly includes them.If you care about disability inclusion in media, accessible film festivals, and how stories reshape culture, listen now, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave us a review.Send us Fan MailSupport the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.comDebra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.socialNeil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.socialaxschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.socialLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilmilliken/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh

Overdrive: From Smart Crossings to Smarter Cars — AI, CES Innovations and the Soul of Driving Short Summary In this episode of Overdrive, David Brown and Paul Murrell explore how artificial intelligence is changing pedestrian safety, urban mobility, and vehicle technologies. From AI-powered pedestrian crossings in Ohio to inclusive transport innovations at CES 2026, they reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and machines. They also share motoring stories, review the GWM Haval H7, and reminisce about the good (and bad) old days of car parks, rallies, and real driver training. Feature Stories Artificial Intelligence Improving Pedestrian Safety David Brown and Paul Murrell open the program with a discussion about how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape everyday road infrastructure. A notable example is an AI-enabled pedestrian crossing system trialled in Dublin, Ohio. Known as the Securus soffit system, it uses sensors and adaptive lighting to detect pedestrians approaching a crossing and then illuminates the area to alert drivers. When no one is present, the lights dim to reduce light pollution and energy use. Beyond immediate safety benefits, the system gathers data on pedestrian movements that can help planners better understand how people use roads and crossings. David and Paul see this as an example of technology quietly improving safety without relying solely on driver behaviour. They also refer to similar monitoring technology used in coastal New South Wales to detect if fishermen are swept from rocks, illustrating how sensor systems can support safety in many environments. Mobility Innovation at CES 2026 The conversation moves to the CES 2026 technology expo, where mobility and transport solutions played a larger role than traditional consumer gadgets. David highlights how the event showcased innovations designed to improve accessibility and integrate different transport modes. Examples included AI-assisted wheelchairs, advanced e-bike systems and digital platforms designed to better link public transport with private mobility options. These developments emphasise “first-mile and last-mile” transport solutions, helping people reach public transport more easily. Paul and David welcome this focus on inclusivity but note that technology alone cannot fix poorly designed transport systems. Without coordination between planners, engineers and policymakers, even the best innovations risk becoming isolated solutions rather than part of a coherent mobility network. Engineering, Regulation and Cultural Perspectives The hosts also reflect on an idea raised in Dan Wang's book Breakneck, which suggests that China's rapid infrastructure development is partly driven by a culture dominated by engineers, while the United States is more influenced by legal and regulatory structures. While acknowledging that strong regulatory frameworks can slow projects, David and Paul argue that purely technocratic decision-making can ignore social consequences. They point to examples such as controversial policies in China that demonstrate the risks of pursuing efficiency without broader societal consideration. Their conclusion is that successful transport development requires a balance between engineering ambition and thoughtful governance. Recognising Contributions to Transport and Heritage The program pauses to recognise individuals who have made meaningful contributions to transport and community life. The late Brian Willoughby is remembered for helping preserve Rouse Hill House in Sydney's west by influencing road planning decisions in the 1990s. His work demonstrated that determined individuals within government can shape infrastructure decisions in ways that protect cultural heritage. Another acknowledgement goes to Rob McInerney, appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for his leadership in the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). Through data-driven road safety strategies, iRAP helps governments prioritise investments that reduce road trauma and improve infrastructure design worldwide. Driving Skills and the Changing Culture of Motoring David and Paul then reflect on the evolution of driving skills. Recalling older cars and rally driving experiences, they note how earlier vehicles demanded far more driver involvement, often with poor lighting, heavy steering and limited braking performance. These stories lead to a critique of modern driver training, which they believe often lacks practical scenario-based learning. Skills such as handling a skid, recovering from dropping a wheel off the road or performing emergency braking are rarely taught in depth. While modern driver-assistance systems improve safety, the hosts argue that awareness, judgement and real experience remain vital. Road Test: GWM Haval H7 Hybrid The episode concludes with a review of the GWM Haval H7 Hybrid, a mid-size SUV priced at around $47,000 drive-away. Positioned as a more premium alternative to the Haval H6, the H7 features a refined interior, improved styling and hybrid efficiency. Although its rugged design suggests off-road capability, the vehicle is front-wheel drive only. Despite this limitation, David and Paul find the car comfortable, well equipped and competitively priced. Thoughtful climate controls, a practical layout and a smooth hybrid drivetrain contribute to a strong overall impression. As Chinese manufacturers continue to expand their presence in Australia, vehicles like the Haval H7 demonstrate how competitive pricing and improved quality are reshaping the local automotive market.

Episode number is 240 of The Truth Response.What does it truly mean for Christians to “be fruitful and multiply” in today's world? Is it about population growth, spiritual discipleship, or something deeper that the church has struggled to articulate clearly?In this episode, the conversation explores both the physical and spiritual dimensions of fruitfulness. The discussion addresses cultural fears, the role of family, and the call to make disciples—not just converts—while trusting God's sovereignty over the rise and fall of cultures. Rather than measuring success by numbers alone, the focus returns to authentic faith and Spirit-formed lives.Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world.This episode invites believers to think biblically, live faithfully, and embrace a holistic understanding of fruitfulness rooted in obedience, trust, and hope.

In my latest episode I sat with Simon Frederick to discuss his journey as a self-taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, director and producer. We talk about his upbringing in the UK with roots in Grenada. He talks about his mother's influence and wisdom which helped him navigate things as a child, and how he relies on her insights even today.  Simon talks about what being a father means to him in the midst of all his artistic endeavors. We discuss in-depth some of his great works which include "Black is the New Black," "They've Gotta Have Us," and "The Outsiders". Lastly, I ask Simon about his thoughts on current cinema and how black brits have been portrayed in that medium.  https://www.simonfrederick.uk

As part of our Across State Lines emphasis, New England Baptist partnered with the ERLC'S Psalm 139 Project to donate an ultrasound machine to Aspire Now Pregnancy Care Center in Vermont, a pro-choice state. On today's episode, you'll hear from Terry Dorsett, executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England, about the unique challenges facing New England Baptists, particularly when it comes to advocating for pre-born lives. He also discusses how cooperation with other state conventions like Tennessee and Alabama, fellow SBC entities, and local churches makes pro-life ministry possible in a region that is largely abortion permissive.New England Baptists face other ministry obstacles and opportunities as well, including family issues, pornography and gambling. Even with these challenges, there are encouraging signs of growth. According to Lifeway Research, New England is the only region in the SBC that has grown over the past five years. Terry has served in New England since 1994, first as a pastor, then a church planner, a director of missions, and finally a church planting catalyst before becoming the executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England in 2015. Now let's turn to Elizabeth Bristow's conversation with Terry Dorsett. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

In this powerful sermon through Acts 19:21-41, we explore one of the most dramatic events in the early church—a riot of 25,000 people that erupted because Christianity was literally changing the business landscape of Ephesus.

Ignoring the problems in our culture won't make them go away. Instead, we need to ask God to move in our homes and communities and be ready to respond to His Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the increasing lawlessness in our nation—and the growing movement to turn our hearts back to God that we're seeing arise from the young people. He teaches about King Hezekiah, who had an assignment to change the culture in his lifetime, and he shares some lessons we can learn from this Old Testament leader about how to invite God to shape hearts. People are waking up to the reality of a biblical worldview, and we can be a part of what God is doing!

Culture shouldn't shape the Church—we should shape culture. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses some key lessons from the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference. God is moving in the earth and in His people, and we want to be a part. That means having the courage to share the truth with those around us and bringing our faith into the public sphere. Pastor Allen shares the importance of honesty in moments like the ones we're living through now, as well as the reality that we will face opposition. Let's pray for God to give us the vision to recognize His work and assignments as we move forward with boldness for His Kingdom! 

In Part 2 of this urgent conversation, With Your Time hosts Dr. Rob Shumaker and Kristi Lee return with Dr. Anne Friesen (HumanTraffickingNow.com) and Andrew Sveum (FreedomRisingNow.org) to explore how individuals and communities can combat human trafficking—both in the U.S. and abroad. From inside Bangladesh's largest brothel to local neighborhood signs of abuse, the conversation shifts toward hope, healing, and action. The guests share stories of real victims, strategies to prevent exploitation, and practical steps for parents, leaders, and citizens to get involved. This episode confronts difficult truths with courage and clarity—because awareness is the first step to change. For more information or to support their work, visit:

Hello and welcome to our SDCC 2025 panel, Building Authenticity and Changing Culture with Comics. Today's panel brings together creators who are using comics to challenge stereotypes, center marginalized voices, and inspire cultural change. Through personal storytelling, historical narratives, and bold new characters, these panelists show how authenticity on the page can lead to real impact off the page. Join us for a conversation about identity, representation, and the power of comics to transform culture. With us today are: Henry Barajas is an acclaimed writer and storyteller whose work has centered on cultural and political histories. His graphic memoir La Voz de M.A.Y.O. Tata Rambo honors his grandfather's pivotal role in Indigenous activism and community empowerment in Tucson, Arizona. He is also the author of the graphic biography Historias de Resistencia: Dolores Huerta, which brings the legacy of the legendary labor leader to life through a vivid, accessible medium.Henry's other notable work includes Death to Pachuco, a bold exploration of Chicano identity and culture. In 2022, he made history as the first Latino writer of the long-running daily comic strip Gil Thorp, where he brings contemporary social issues and diverse representation to a new generation of readers. Through all his projects, Henry remains committed to telling stories that empower communities and reshape the cultural narrative. @henryjbarajasCecilia Lim is a co-founder of Kwento Comics, the first all-women, all-Filipina comic book company in the United States.

What if Christian colleges—and churches—stopped being driven by fear? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, Loren sits down (literally, in person) with sociologist and Substack writer John Hawthorne to talk about his new book The Fearless Christian University. Drawing on nearly four decades in Christian higher education, John outlines why so many institutions have slipped into what Andy Crouch calls "zombie mode"—defined more by inertia than imagination. This conversation moves fluidly between Christian universities and local churches, asking critical questions about sustainability, fear-based culture wars, institutional loyalty, and what it looks like to center the real questions of a rising generation. Together, John and Loren explore: Why Christian institutions often default to fear and control What it means to be a “zombie institution”—and how to wake up How schools and churches can move from protecting tradition to cultivating belonging The importance of legitimizing doubt and centering student (or congregant) questions Whether it's possible to hold onto theological identity without gatekeeping How online church and online education can erode or support community Why belonging may need to come before belief John Hawthorne is a sociologist who spent nearly four decades in Christian higher education. He served as faculty member and academic administrator over the course of his career, spending time in five different Christian universities. He writes a Substack that often deals with issues in Christian higher education and has been regularly interviewed for Christianity Today, Religion News Service, Sojourners, Inside Higher Ed, and the Associated Press. His publications include A First Step into a Much Larger World: The Christian University and Beyond.   Mentioned Resources:
