BlazeTV host Pat Gray and Claremont Lincoln University fellow Inez Stepman join the show today to discuss a groundbreaking decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. A majority of justices ruled that race-based admissions practices at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina are in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This ruling marks a significant turning point in the ongoing debate surrounding affirmative action in higher education. We will delve into the details of this historic judgment and its potential implications for future admissions policies. A Tennessee federal judge partially blocked a law intended to shield children from life-altering transgender procedures, following other federal judges who blocked similar protective laws in other states. During a speech in Maryland, President Biden revealed that he personally does not support abortion and expressed discomfort with the procedure. In a recent development, a manslaughter case against Jordan Williams, who was charged with stabbing Devictor Ouedraogo to death on a Brooklyn J train, has been dismissed.

You have to know how your suggestion or your idea is going to impact what keeps people up at night.  Your tone of voice, confidence and assertiveness is just as important as the words you're trying to get across.  You have to find new avenues and tools for growth - holding on to what got you to where you are might prevent you from ever going further. “Many times we have great ideas and we want to pursue those… but if it's not addressing pain points for someone at a higher level, then they're likely to see it as vitamins rather than a painkiller. Those are not necessarily seen as adding the greatest value in the organization. ” —  Phyllis Sarkaria   Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com    Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com    Connect with Phyllis Sarkaria:   Website: http://www.sarkariagroup.com/  LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/phyllis-sarkaria/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PhyllisSarkaria    Connect with Jordan:  Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com  Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com    Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/  

Welcome back to America's leading higher education podcast! In this episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by Claremont Lincoln University, we welcome Daniel Dyboski Bryant, Co-Founder of Educators in VR. Daniel comes to The EdUp Experience to talk to us about virtual reality in education. Simply put, according to Daniel, higher education may not be adopting VR soon enough. VR can be explored from a number of different angles and have a number of different applications, and the budget to get started does not have to be as significant as one might think! A school can buy headsets first, use VR via 2D desktops, THEN move to immersive, creative perspectives. This is a future-thinking episode! Daniel is a life-long educator specializing in virtual and augmented reality, immersive technologies, 360 media, teacher training, communication and languages. He speaks 5 languages. He is a founder of Educators in VR, an open membership-based community of educators, trainers, researchers and startups who meet, share and collaborate in and with VR and AR across multi-user platforms. Here Daniel is also working on a remote VR learning network. His driving aim is to continually explore, test and develop immersive educational resources and methods that democratize education actually deliver improved learning results.

Chaplain (COL) Khallid Shabazz Ph.D, DMin | Command Chaplain at USARCENT | Sumter, South Carolina, United States Shortly after converting to Islam, then-Sgt. Khallid Shabazz struggled to find his way while his devout Lutheran family and fellow Soldiers questioned his move. And with a few Article 15s for insubordination on his record, Shabazz, a field artilleryman at the time, wanted out of the military. Then, one day while training out in the field, an Army chaplain approached him and struck up a conversation. “Honestly, it was like a revelation from God,” Shabazz said. “When it hit my ears, I knew that was what I was going to do in life. It was incredible.” “I didn’t want to convert; I was happy where I was,” he said. “I’m a very inquisitive person. If I don’t know something, I’m going to get to know it.” While Shabazz found more peace and solace by switching faiths, which included the Islamic custom of changing his name, many people in his life stopped talking to him. His commander at the time, Shabazz said, even asked why he sided with the enemy. “I was so hurt by those statements,” he said. He eventually came to realize it was a lack of understanding some people had with Islam, which he was also guilty of until he studied it. Islam is sometimes distorted by extremist groups, he said, similar to how other religions can be twisted to incite violent acts. “Whether it’s the Bible, Quran, or the Torah, I want people to understand that religion really has nothing to do with violence,” he said. “99.9 percent of the people in religion are good people.” Chaplain Shabazz holds two doctorate degrees on top of four master’s degrees. He has written three books and teaches online courses at four colleges. He has 28 years of experience as a U.S. Army officer working at the highest level and is currently a fellow at the University of Texas studying senior-level strategy. I view myself as a competent, consistent, compassionate self-starter willing to tackle new challenges. If you are seeking an Instructor who is loyal and committed to achieving total success for your students and the university, please consider what I have to offer.

In Linda's book Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free, she discusses what it was like as an Evangelical girl growing up in purity culture and the effect it had on her sexuality. The book also highlights the countless other women who she interviewed nationwide on the same topic. Whenever I do workshops within a church community, I recommend this excellent book which mirrors so many stories of women who grew up in religious communities in the 90s. In this podcast, we discuss her work as the founder and president of the nonprofit, Break Free Together and her work as a personal coach dedicated to helping people release shame and claim their whole selves.  She is changing lives and I am so happy to have spent our time together.   Linda's work was born out of her 15 years of research on religious trauma around sex and gender, documented in her award-winning book. Linda's work has been featured by CBS, NBC, NPR (her interview with Fresh Air's Terry Gross having been named one of the top ten of the year), and over 150 other outlets, and she has been highlighted on the TEDx stage, and at The Apollo's Women of the World Festival, the 92Y SHE Summit, and over 100 other venues.   Linda is also teaching faculty at Claremont Lincoln University and consults with organizations and individuals committed to doing good. Previously, she was the founding director of Echoing Green's multi-award-winning Work on Purpose program. The program's leadership development curriculum on how to find and follow your purpose was adopted by over 200 colleges/universities, nonprofits and corporations and has impacted tens of thousands of emerging professionals. Prior to this, she led Moving Millions, propelling what was then a $181-million campaign for large-scale investment in women and girls into the global community of 100+ donor-activists committed that it is today, and held other roles within academia and the women's funding movement.   Linda has contributed to several publications, and authored two successful curricula and training programs. She was awarded the NYU Reynolds Fellowship in Social Entrepreneurship for her work on religiously-rooted sexual shame in 2006. She later became a judge for the Forbes 30 Under 30 faith-based initiative, and the Echoing Green, AshokaU, and NYU Reynolds social entrepreneurship fellowship competitions. She is chair of the Board for the Forum for Theological Exploration board, and sits on the advisory boards of Feminist.com's Our Inner Lives initiative and New York University's Of Many Institute for Multifaith Leadership.   Linda holds an interdisciplinary Masters degree in gender studies, religious studies, oral history, nonfiction writing, and art as social change from NYU and is a trained Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education facilitator. A Midwesterner at heart, Linda lives in New York City with her family. She is the wife of a writer and social change agent who inspires her every day, and the “bonus mom” to a very cool teenager.   Learn more about Linda at Break Free Together and follow her on Instagram.

Self-Determination Self-determination empowers those who are most affected to be in the driver’s seat of policy-making decisions. For example, if an oil company wants to run a pipeline through Indigenous land, Indigenous communities themselves would decide based on their values and the impact on their families, water, air, and land. NDN collective works to restore self-determination through three pillars: defense, development, and decolonization. Decolonization European colonization was a system of white supremacy that annihilated complex Indigenous populations, cultures, languages, beliefs, land, and governing systems. The work of decolonization includes dismantling white supremacist systems of economic extraction and governance; education about the totality of colonial history; and the revitalization of Native languages and ways of being. Reclaiming Indigenous heritage is also an act of healing past traumas from colonization. Land Back A key tenet of self-determination and decolonization is the “land back” movement. Theft of Indigenous lands was one of the fundamental ways Europeans colonized America. Stealing land and extracting its resources decimated both the land and the people who lived on it. The land back movement aims to right this wrong by returning public lands, like National Parks and National Forests, to the care of Indigenous People. Land back does not mean removing Americans from their homes. Instead, it means returning the land to Native stewardship focusing on preservation and rejuvenation.

For many of us raised in the Evangelical tradition, we're familiar with what the term "purity culture" means on the surface: teaching children to save their first time having sex until they're married to that one person with whom God had always intended them to be. However, as time went by and the scars began to manifest, we realized what it entailed deeper down: sexual shame, sexual silence, and social and structural hierarchies that overwhelmingly subjugated and victimized young women. In her book, Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free, Linda Kay Klein interviewed a number of women over a 12-year period who were raised in the purity culture movement to get intimate perspectives on the environments that foster it, the damage that comes from it, and ultimately, the healing that can begin when separating from it.

In this interview, we sat down with Reverend Dr. Jerry Campbell in front of a live studio audience where we discussed the inception of Claremont Lincoln University and how this "outlandish idea" became a reality. “It’s going to be a lot of work, but you have to ask yourself, what will make that work worth it?” – Dr. Jerry Campbell Dr. Jerry Campbell unpacks the purpose of the Claremont Core and how he, along with David Lincoln and others, believed that taking an innovative approach to offer education could potentially change how we could address global problems and issues. "One of the ways to change the world is by doing something different." – Dr. Jerry Campbell He also discussed how he believed in an institution that focuses on positive social change, mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between people. We hit on topics about the “Golden Rule”, why is it important, why should we all apply it to our lives, and how will it change the world.

Welcome back to Singin’ in the Rain. In part two of this episode with Anne-Michelle Ellis we continue our discussion about human trafficking. Last week, Ms. Ellis detailed the heartbreaking narrative that unfolds as victims enter into the life of human trafficking. This week, we will further examine the definition of human trafficking and the various typologies of exploitation that persist in the world today. Ms. Ellis will discuss what we can do to fight against human trafficking, what is currently being done to combat the global economic forces behind human trafficking, and how to respond more effectively to these crimes. In this episode we explore: What tactics do traffickers use to keep their victims in the life? What are the vulnerabilities a trafficker would use to get someone to do something they don't want to do? How and why are these effective? What is the extent of human trafficking? What is being done to address human trafficking? What did the legislation California Proposition 35 actually do in California? How does investing in the life of a child help protect them again traffickers? What are the practical ways to spot human trafficking and report it? Tune in as we discuss the magnitude and scope of the human trafficking problem as well as its causes. Although human trafficking will not be resolved with a podcast, your earnest support to stem the tide of smuggling and trafficking is greatly appreciated by Claremont Lincoln University. Take a listen. Share if you care. And… don’t forget about our certificate:

The café, long a European institution, was also a stimulant and a refuge for European Jewish culture. In cities across Europe, and later in Palestine, Israel, and the United States, Jewish journalists, poets, and thinkers gathered in cafés to socialize, argue, create, and simply to be in a space that welcomed them. In A Rich Brew: How Cafés Created Modern Jewish Culture (NYU Press, 2018), Shachar M. Pinsker, Professor of Judaic Studies and Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan, provides a rich and detailed portrait of café life in six major centers of Jewish life and thought in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book is a welcome addition to the study of European Jewish thought and culture, and to the understanding of the motive forces behind Jewish creativity during a period that included large-scale emancipation, immigration, and destruction in the Jewish world. David Gottlieb earned his PhD in the History of Judaism from the University of Chicago in 2018.

In cities across Europe, and later in Palestine, Israel, and the United States, Jewish journalists, poets, and thinkers gathered in cafés to socialize, argue, create, and simply to be in a space that welcomed them. In A Rich Brew: How Cafés Created Modern Jewish Culture (NYU Press, 2018), Shachar M. Pinsker, Professor of Judaic Studies and Middle East Studies at the University of Michigan, provides a rich and detailed portrait of café life in six major centers of Jewish life and thought in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book is a welcome addition to the study of European Jewish thought and culture, and to the understanding of the motive forces behind Jewish creativity during a period that included large-scale emancipation, immigration, and destruction in the Jewish world.

In this episode, Bo Bennett speaks with Kile Jones, creator of the “Interview an Atheist at Church Day” project. Listen as they discuss what the project is about & why it is needed, and marvel as Bo channels his inner preacher by conducting a “mock interview” with Kile, who demonstrates what it is like to be an atheist in church. From Kile's website: Interview an Atheist at Church Day is a project created by Kile Jones, a Ph.D student at Claremont Lincoln University, an inter-religious school to train ministers. Kile is an atheist who is interested in helping liberal religious people work together with unbelieving communities for the betterment of society. Interview an Atheist at Church Day is a community project aimed at bettering the under-standing between atheists and religious persons. We hope to connect atheists who are willing to be interviewed with congregations in their area that are interested in developing ties with atheists in their area. The “day” represents our desire to grow into something far-reaching and beneficial to atheists and churchgoers alike. As unbelieving populations around the world continue to rise, dialogue and understanding between atheists and people of faith is more important than ever. We live and work in the same world: understanding better what both unites and divides religious and non-religious people can only help us make this world a better place.
