Today our guests are Yvonne Culver, Director of School Counseling and Student Wellness, and Stephanie Hammond, Coordinator for School Counselors at Akron Public Schools. We talk about how they moved beyond "posters on the wall" by creating a district timeline that aligns life skills with academic pacing guides. They share how they engaged content teachers to build practical toolkits that integrate character development into daily lessons without adding more work. They highlight the critical need for patience in implementation and how to use data for support rather than compliance.

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss the 2024 film, 40 Acres. The film follows a Black and First Nation family in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by famine. Their routine has kept the fed and safe for many years. The household is headed by Hailey (Danielle Deadwyler) who's connection to her family is put in peril when their farm is attacked by cannibals.

Character is never built in a classroom. Character is built in the circumstances of life.  God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Christ.  Main Points:1. We don't know why tragic circumstances happen in our lives. We don't know why accidents happen. We don't know why people receive bad news from the doctor. Life and its difficulties comes to us all. Live long enough and you will experience suffering.2. God will use every circumstance of our lives to help us be more like Jesus. If you think back over your life you'll realize that you have grown through the things you suffered. 3. Christ-like character is the goal of the Christian life.  To settle for anything less is to miss the point of spiritual growth.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 43:2 - “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”Hebrews 5:8  - “Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.”Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:29 - “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”Ephesians 4:13 - We are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Ever find yourself wishing you could raise kids who think beyond themselves, show emotional resilience, and eat their veggies without a bribe? Well tune in and buckle up. This week on the Good Enough Parenting podcast, I sat down with Sarah Robertson-Barnes, sustainability writer, educator, and host of Sustainable in the Suburbs — and she's here to remind us that parenting with the planet in mind doesn't have to mean going full homestead (or giving up take out).We talked about the small, practical ways we can parent more sustainably — and how those choices actually help our kids grow. Turns out, being mindful about waste, food, and nature doesn't just protect the planet; it builds impulse control, flexibility, and problem-solving skills. Plus, Sarah swears that some sustainable swaps are great for your family budget and your *picky eaters. (Apparently composting can make them feel like magicians??)We also got into the deeper stuff: how connecting kids to the planet helps them move past their natural egocentricity, how to avoid eco-burnout, and why being mindful about our waste and consumption is not about perfection – it's about progress. So take a deep breath, skip the guilt, and tune in for some down-to-earth wisdom that might just make your next meal — and your next parenting moment — a little greener.You can find Sarah HERE and check out her podcast Sustainable in the Suburbs for more ideas on reducing waste, rethinking consumption, and even throwing a trash-free birthday party (yes, it's possible).Because hauling your own Tupperware to your favorite restaurant may not solve the climate crisis, but for now it might just be good enough. To get Carley's free video teaching you 4 play therapy techniques you can use TODAY to calm your emotional child and bring joy and freedom back to family life click here!http://www.paceparent.com/play And follow her @CarleyCounsels on FB & IG!

Old Cassidy is a brand new premium blend of bourbon from Rare Character. Previously, Old Cassidy had been released as a single barrel product, but this inaugural blend will be an annual release that will showcase the best of the barrels that Rare Character has. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled in Lexington, this release represents a deliberate selection of barrels ranging in age, with 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon as the base of the blend. Each barrel for this blend was chosen for its unique contribution of flavor and character, and the result is rich, complex, and harmonious bourbon worthy of being celebrated. In this short, we give you our honest take on this brand new bottle and also speculate on what barrels we believe may have been blended to create this bourbon.--------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

David Clayton, known on Instagram as #officialempathytour, is running for North Carolina's 5th Congressional District in the 2026 elections. The district is currently represented by Virginia Foxx, a Republican who has held the seat since 2005. David Clayton is the antithesis of the cult of Trump. He believes in women's rights. As far as religion goes, he thinks everyone is free to believe in something or not believe in anything. He also believes that empathy is not a sin, but rather a necessary element of a functioning society, one in which people move away from the narrow confines and towards a more open, supportive, and accepting society. Fear-mongering online and on the news is its own form of coercive control. And, with the rise of Artificial Intelligence and social media conglomerates controlling so many people's minds and lives, we need to see change led by people like David Clayton, who will put people over profits and power. David is running as an Independent and promises to call out the legalized corruption that plagues our current political system. David spent several years of his life passing out survival gear to homeless veterans. He has also drafted proposed legislation to house homeless veterans. This proposed legislation is called the Character by Integrity Act. David is currently building a following among both Democrats and Republicans by speaking plainly and simply about what is happening in America today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      1 Corinthians 15:33: "'Bad company corrupts good character'”. Company - not just friend, but group of friends- your circle   Not a bad friend, but bad company.    Ever ask someone the question “so what kind of company do they hang with?”  Oh don't mess with them, they hang with some bad Mamma Jamma's.   That woman there keeps the wrong kind of company… she's broke dried up and used. That Dude… the kind of company he hangs with … they are all super successful or there all gear heads or they are all musicians…   *Corrupts = waste away, shrivel up… to square ones potential.    -  ** Character = life-style (moral habits, behavioral patterns   So it means the people you circle yourself with can shrivel up your potential because they instill in you poor life habits and patterns… Verse 34 which leads to sin!    THEN THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE: GOOD COMPANY CAUSES CHARACTER TO THRIVE!    A FRIEND WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY PLAYER… HIS BROTHER EVEN BETTER - WOULD OUT PERFORM THE OTHER STARS ON THE ICE… BUT HAD THE WRONG CIRCLE.   JUST THE OPPOSITE FOR HIMSELF: He was average at best, but loved Hockey. He knew he had to get into circles that pushed him beyond what he thought was capable of himself.   AND YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE WITHOUT KNOWING…     **I was training a young man in my gym. He came in one day all concerned. He said he thinks he has a skin disease… something is really wrong with his hands. - They were callouses. But it happened so slow he did not realize it. The work of our circle is slow at first… but in time it becomes who we are.

Dr. Alfano uses tools and methods from philosophy and the sciences to explore topics in moral psychology, epistemology, and digital humanities. He studies how people become and remain virtuous, how values become integrated into people's lives, and how these virtues and values are (or fail to be) manifested in their perception, thoughts, feelings, deliberations, and behavior. He's the author of books like Character as Moral Fiction, Nietzsche's Moral Psychology, and Nietzsche on Virtue. In this episode, we focus on Nietzsche on Virtue. We start by talking about the premise and methodology of the book. We discuss what virtues are, the relationship between drives and virtues, types of people, how one can understand one's own type, and how to deal with people who are of different types than us. We discuss the role of solitude, and amor fati. Finally, we discuss whether Nietzsche has a metaethical position.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the rumors of a narrator and photos of Nicholas Flamel for the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:20 The TV show will feature a narrator and Nicholas Flamel. The narrator is just a rumor right now, but we have seen leaked photos of Flamel shooting scenes with Dumbledore. These two idea seem to be contrasting because the narrator is pulling us towards the books, while the scenes with Flamel is pulling us towards the TV show.·      7:38 The narrator is going to ruin the TV show. It will take away from the voice of the characters! The most effective scenes where we learn the most about the characters is where we aren't told how to feel. We have to read the faces of the characters and experience the story in a much more real way.·      16:27 Flamel is great news. I initially thought that these scenes were towards the beginning of the story where they were discussing where to move the stone, but it is very possible that these are the scenes where Dumbledore is asking Flamel if he is alright with the stone being destroyed. Those are some heavy scenes, and we can all learn something from Flamel finally resting after his long, rich life.·      23:30 We are moving forward! We are breaking new ground and finally exploring like we hoped we would. Additionally, these scenes with Flamel might indicate to us that we are going to get a glimpse of other, older worlds of magic.Having anything you want to hear or say?

How often have you been willing to use others for your advantage? How often have you tried to manipulate events and situations to benefit yourself? Without caring how it will impact others? It can be too easy to do this. The real test of faithfulness is doing something that might not be desirable or easy to do because it's the thing God wants you to do. Like Jesus did for us. Our character is tested when we do the right thing even when no one is looking. The faithfulness and character we display will point people to how beautiful our God is. Today's message will give us much to think about concerning faithfulness and character.Support the show~ Changing lives with Jesus! Facebook | YouTubeInstagram @dscsienna

Ever get feedback that your main character feels flat, reactive, or like things just happen to them? That's because they lack agency, one of the main ingredients in narrative drive — the force that makes readers keep turning the pages and engage with the story. In this episode of the Write It Scared podcast, we're digging into what real agency looks like on the page and how to give your characters the power to act, choose, and change their fate. I'll walk you through the three key ingredients every active protagonist needs—motive, means, and opportunity—and show you how to use them to turn a passive story into a page-turner.Timestamps 00:00 – Why Some Characters Feel Passive (and How to Fix It) 00:19 – Welcome to Write It Scared 01:15 – What Is Character Agency, Really? 01:55 – Why Agency Is the Beating Heart of Story 05:10 – The Three Ingredients: Motive, Means, and Opportunity 07:54 – Creating Moments of Choice That Matter 09:27 – How to Spot When Your Character's Lost Control 11:08 – Final Takeaways Links mentioned in this episode:Episode 76: Narrative Drive: The Secret to Story Momentum and Reader EngagementWire For Story by Lisa Cron. Have a comment or idea about the show?

In this episode, we sit down with Chad Henson, the new Chief of Police for the Paragould Police Department — a man whose journey has taken him from protecting the skies as a Federal Air Marshal to serving overseas in a UN mission, to leading drug task force operations across NEA. Chief Henson shares how those experiences shaped his philosophy of leadership and why he believes real change starts with character, humility, and a commitment to teaching. We talk about building healthy culture inside a department, why not everyone actually fears change, and how long-lasting cultural transformation happens from the inside out. He also outlines his vision for the future of PPD, including a major emphasis on officer development — increasing annual training requirements from 24 to 100 hours, equipping leaders at every level, and creating a department other agencies look to for instructors and best practices. We close by discussing the realities of drug trends in Arkansas, the importance of regional cooperation among agencies, and why “playing well with others” matters more than ever. If you care about leadership, community, or the direction of policing in Paragould, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Erin Callahan to dig into Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling emotional epic, Magnolia.

Overview of the podcast's goal of analyzing fascinating but flawed movies and discussing 'Magnolia' by Paul Thomas Anderson. Film Reception and Initial Impressions (02:47 - 06:41) Discussion on the film's commercial performance (barely recouped budget). Observations on how the interconnected plotlines initially seem scattered but progressively reveal ties. Personal Reactions and Character Complexity (06:41 - 09:43) Sam expresses strong dislike for the film, citing an emotional aversion to nearly all characters except the frogs. Recognition of standout performances by William H. Macy and Philip Seymour Hoffman despite overall dislike. Overview of Film Narrative and Themes (09:43 - 19:46) Aaron explains the ensemble format, interconnected stories set in San Fernando Valley culminating in a biblical-style frog plague. Major theme identified: dysfunctional relationships between parents and children. Cops and Authority Portrayal (19:46 - 29:25) John C. Reilly's character depicted as a well-meaning but incompetent cop, demonstrating systemic failures in law enforcement. The film's critical stance towards police, contrasting with mainstream media depictions at the time. Character Analysis: Donnie and Stanley (29:25 - 39:23) William H. Macy's character as a former quiz boy who symbolizes a lost potential and relatability to gifted child experience. Debate on whether his storyline is essential or expendable in a trimmed-down version of the film. Entertainment Moguls and Their Families (39:23 - 49:49) Comparison of Earl Partridge and Jimmy Gator as similar figures of industry power who have harmed their children and spouses. Tom Cruise's Frank T.J. Mackey characterized as a 'manosphere' guru shaped by family trauma. Claudia and Themes of Control and Addiction (49:49 - 59:40) Claudia viewed as a victim of parental control, drug addiction, and neglect juxtaposed with her father's manipulative behavior. Biblical allusion of plague of frogs as symbolic of parental failure to 'let their children go.' Frank T.J. Mackey and Masculine Performance (59:41 - 01:09:41) Spotlight on Tom Cruise's versatile and immersive performance as Frank T.J. Mackey, exploring the emotional façade and trauma underlying his character. Mention of Cruise's Oscar nomination for the role and the improvisation he brought to the emotional father-son scenes. Julianne Moore's Character and Themes of Caregiving and Betrayal (01:09:41 - 01:20:56) Detailed discussion of Linda Partridge showing vulnerability, guilt, and emotional complexity amid caregiving for a dying Earl Partridge. Exploration of betrayal themes and intimate family dynamics. Film Length and Narrative Structure Discussion (01:20:56 - 01:32:27) Consensus on the film's excessive length complicating viewer engagement. Suggestions to streamline or reimagine — either cut characters and subplots or expand into a miniseries format. Potential Edits and Streamlining Approaches (01:32:27 - 01:43:10) Aaron recommends removing William H. Macy's character to focus tightly on key children and their relationships with their parents. Both emphasize retaining vital scenes such as the frog plague, quiz show elements, and key emotional arcs. Lighthearted Closing and Future Topics (01:43:10 - 01:53:43) Humorous tangent on frogs and Ninja Turtles. Promotion of next episode on 'Highlander 2: The Quickening.'
