What if the biggest threat to Christian education isn't coming from the left—but from Christians themselves? In this eye-opening episode of Refining Rhetoric, attorney and author Kevin R. Novak drops a bombshell that will make you rethink everything about school choice, vouchers, and education reform. While most Christians celebrate getting "their tax dollars back" through ESA programs, Novak argues they're actually participating in socialism and expanding the very system they claim to oppose. Drawing from biblical principles of jurisdiction and constitutional law, Novak makes the case that civil government has zero authority over education—period. He reveals how school choice programs are driving up costs, why property taxes for schools are unconstitutional, and how the "Christian establishment" is gatekeeping a true education revival. From dispensationalists to pietists, Novak names the theological movements that got us here and explains why the solution isn't reforming public schools—it's abolishing them entirely.   Resources: https://deconstructingthecoliseum.com/   https://kevinrnovak.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.

Episode 279 - "Permission to Begin Again"What if your next chapter didn't need anyone else's approval—but your own? In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore what it really means to give yourself permission to begin again—to start fresh, even if the past didn't go the way you hoped, even if you're scared, even if you're not "ready." Whether you're healing from a setback, reimagining your identity, or just waking up to the fact that you've outgrown old roles, this is your invitation to reset without shame. They dive into the psychology of fresh starts, the emotional weight of endings, and the quiet courage it takes to reclaim your direction. Because beginning again isn't failure. It's freedom. And you don't need a perfect plan—you just need permission.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Corey begins "The Lion's Den" by informing listeners that he will be pre-recording the upcoming "From A to Arbitration" episode due to his attendance at the Texas State Convention. He then emphasizes his desire to keep "The Lion's Den" episodes focused and relatively short, though he anticipates today's will be longer due to reading arbitration sites. He references last week's episode where he played a teleconference recording, highlighting the "disdain" and "incompetence" of upper management towards city letter carriers, and reiterating his long-held belief that they need to be more aggressive in their approach. Corey stresses the importance of education within the union and mentions that the incoming CLC leadership will bring a more militant and offensive approach. Corey then dedicates the majority of the episode to reading and analyzing three arbitration sites. He explains that reading arbitration decisions is a crucial self-education tool, allowing one to understand management's arguments, the union's positions, and the arbitrators' decisions. The first case, from February 2009, deals with the Postal Service's use of DOIS (Delivery Operations Information System) projections to set carriers' daily office and street times, and whether this created a hostile work environment. Corey notes how management's arguments then are remarkably similar to current ones, particularly regarding PET and DOIS. He meticulously breaks down the union's and management's arguments, as well as the arbitrator's findings, highlighting how the misuse of DOIS primarily as a basis for setting leave and return times and the resulting stressful environment violated the M-39 handbook and related settlements. The second case, from 2015, addresses similar issues of management using DOIS projections as the sole determinant of carriers' leaving times and the practice of announcing all mail is up before it's actually distributed, leading to undue stress. Corey reads the facts, the parties' positions, and the arbitrator's discussion and findings, emphasizing how these practices created an impossible situation for carriers. He draws parallels to the current use of PET and the denial of 3996s. The third arbitration site, from 2019, focuses on the removal of a CCA for "unsatisfactory performance," specifically for exceeding projected times. Corey highlights how management failed to provide evidence of actual misconduct or time-wasting habits, instead relying solely on DOIS/PET projections. He points out that management did not conduct proper street observations or gather evidence like 4584s or 1838-Cs to support their claims. Corey concludes by reiterating the importance of these arbitration sites for understanding arguments, contractual language, and management's tactics, and promises to continue educating the membership on these critical issues. concernedlettercarriers.com

Episode 277 - "Cultural Sensitivity"In this timely episode, Michelle and Scott unpack the power of cultural sensitivity—what it really means, why it matters, and how we can all do better. From awkward missteps to meaningful breakthroughs, they explore how being culturally aware isn't about being perfect—it's about being present, curious, and respectful. Whether you're navigating diverse workplaces, global friendships, or just your neighborhood, understanding different perspectives is a superpower. Listen in and hear real-life stories, practical tools, and a few laugh-out-loud moments that remind us: sensitivity isn't weakness—it's wisdom in action.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

In this episode, we unpack the #1 reason you keep thinking you're the problem when you're not: complex life circumstances and how integrating them instead of ignoring them changes everything about how you work, parent, rest, and relate. We talk about the patterns we didn't even know were patterns: Tasha wondering why she could build empires one week and collapse the next, Brandon's years of overfunctioning while feeling like nothing was ever enough, and the quiet shame spiral of why can't I just do this thing that almost everyone in our community knows by heart. We touch on: The actual definition of Complex Life Circumstances (CLCs) and why this one lens can explain burnout, inconsistency, and the inability to “just push through” How masking, overachieving, chronic dysregulation, and trauma conditioning show up differently based on gender, race, disability, and neurodivergence Why routines, habits, and productivity hacks fail when they're not built around your real life and what to do instead The real reason you feel guilt when resting and how to stop abandoning yourself in moments of low energy, pain, or overstimulation How your relationships (especially with partners, clients, and kids) have to evolve when you start being honest about your capacity What happened when Brandon realized he didn't even want a damn plate and what that metaphor has to do with freedom, caregiving, and rest This episode includes the 10-finger CLC exercise (to get your Complex Life Circumstance score), and a powerful reminder: you're not broken…you're just operating in a world that refuses to account for who you actually are. Build a life that works with your CLCs instead of against them

Episode 276 - "Are You Ready for Your Closeup?"Life, whether you like it or not, will hand you moments where the spotlight swings your way. The question isn't whether those moments will come—it's whether you'll be ready when they do. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore what it means to step into your close-up moments: the big conversations, the bold decisions, the times when you have to stop playing small and show up fully as yourself. Drawing inspiration from the world of film, theatre, and human resilience, they talk about how to prepare for the times when all eyes—or even just your own heart—are watching. Because the truth is: Your life is your stage.

It's been a while since we've looked at the platform for the Concerned Letter Carriers. In this episode, I will read the platform as published on the CLC website, and comment on it. There have been some updates, and some other planks are out of date. I'll go over the things I agree with, and some parts of the platform that I think are lacking.

Episode 275 - The Whisper Between SoulsSomewhere along the winding road of human evolution, we went from survival mode—clubbing each other over the head—to the wild, delicate act of pressing our faces together in the dark and calling it magic. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the strange, sacred, and sometimes hilarious art of the kiss. From first kisses that feel like emotional Russian roulette to the complex language of kisses as apology, contract, or silent rebellion—this is a deep dive into why we kiss, what we mean when we do, and what kissing reveals about our most primal human need: connection. A kiss can be love. It can be lust. It can be power, boredom, or simply the only thing left to say when words fall apart. Join them for a heartfelt, tongue-in-cheek reflection on one of the most universal (and utterly awkward) expressions of closeness. Because sometimes, the things we can't say out loud come out in the whisper between souls.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

What if the secret to raising spiritually mature kids isn't found in the latest parenting book, but in letting Scripture do the heavy lifting? Robert interviews Josh Niemi, founder of Expository Parenting Ministries, about his unique approach to Christian parenting that mirrors expository preaching—teaching children the Bible verse by verse in systematic discipleship. Josh shares how to start with storybook Bibles for younger children before transitioning to verse-by-verse study, the importance of partnering with expositional churches, and how this method builds solid theological foundations without common evangelical misconceptions. He offers practical insights from teaching his own three children through the entire Old Testament and discusses children's surprising capacity for understanding deep theology. The conversation also covers his book "Greater Than Aaron," exploring how Christ fulfills the Old Testament priesthood.   Resources: https://www.expositoryparenting.org/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.

Episode 274 - Just Let Them – Letting Go of Control & Embracing Peace"What if the key to less stress, more freedom, and stronger relationships was simply . . . letting people be who they are? In this episode, Michelle and Scott dive into Cassie Phillips' viral concept from her poem "Just Let Them"—a radical yet simple mindset shift that invites you to stop micromanaging other people's choices and start reclaiming your own peace. Whether it's friends who flake, coworkers who don't get it, or family members who push your buttons, this approach isn't about giving up—it's about letting go of what was never yours to carry in the first place. They explore how "Just Let Them" can become a boundary-setting mantra, a tool for emotional freedom, and a reset button for burnout. You'll walk away with practical steps for applying this philosophy in your daily life (without becoming passive or checked out). Let them. And then . . . let yourself breathe.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 273 - "If It's Not Yours, Don't Touch It: The Rules of Theatre Applied to Life"In theatre, there's an unspoken but sacred rule: If it's not yours, don't touch it. It's about respect, boundaries, trust—and knowing your role. In this episode, Michelle and Scott take backstage wisdom and shine it center stage on everyday life. What if applying the rules of performance etiquette could help you set clearer boundaries, reduce emotional clutter, and stop carrying what was never yours to begin with?

This episode features a passionate and critical discussion of the state of the NALC, with a primary focus on a recent executive council meeting. Corey begins by emphasizing that he is now speaking as the CLC's Director of Education, a deliberate shift to focus exclusively on educational topics, and then dives into the core subject of the episode which is a candid discussion about what he perceives as a constitutional crisis within the union. He criticizes Renfroe for his arrogance, which is damaging and divisive. He highlights an audio recording from a business agent, discussing why they dismissed charges against Renfroe and Barner. Corey then reads the text of the actual charges filed against President Renfroe and Executive Vice President Barner, which included allegations of failing to report official acts, neglecting convention resolutions, failing to initiate arbitration timely, bypassing required membership ratification, and failing to provide a complete report of acts. Corey argues that this was a violation of the constitution, and he has strong criticism for the Executive Council, accusing them of putting themselves before the best interests of the members. Corey ends by reiterating his call for the city letter carriers and the union to make changes and support those advocating for reforms. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/

In this episode of "The CCA Corner," Mallory and Badmouth are joined by James Henry to discuss current issues and provide education for CCAs. The discussion begins with an update on recent events within the NALC, including the contentious tentative agreement (TA), and James Henry's perspective on leadership's handling of the membership's wishes. The focus then shifts to the rights of CCAs during disciplinary investigations (PDIs or IIs), emphasizing the crucial role of union representation. James Henry stresses the importance of CCAs understanding their rights, particularly their right to union representation throughout the entire process, and that management's questions can be seen as attempts to manipulate or trap carriers into incriminating statements. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and direct answers during such procedures. The episode covers the differences in disciplinary rights between CCAs and regular carriers. James Henry details the CLC's efforts to advocate for CCAs and the importance of member solidarity, highlighting recent additions to the team. The discussion touches on the political climate's influence on the Postal Service and the importance of collective action. A significant portion of the episode focuses on the vital role of union representation in defending CCAs, whether they're perceived as innocent or guilty. James Henry emphasizes the importance of upholding due process rights and citing the contract, and how management's attempts to pressure carriers into admitting guilt can be legally challenged. The episode concludes with a discussion of upcoming events and initiatives within the CLC, urging CCAs to be proactive in advocating for their rights. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/
