Join Kosta and his guest: Margo Dirkson, Department Coordinator for the Office of Access, Belonging, and Community Outreach at Tennessee Tech University. In this episode: In 2024, TTU launched the office of Access, Belonging, and Community Outreach, where you currently serve as the Department Coordinator. Will you tell us about the office and how it serves students? You and Dr. Robert Owens built this office from the ground up. Most faculty never get to design a cabinet-level office from scratch. How do you know when you're getting it right? Belonging is a buzzword in higher education and I feel like sometimes it loses its meaning. Tech enrolls first-generation students, students from rural Tennessee, international students, and students whose families have been in the Upper Cumberland for generations all in the same residence hall. What does belonging actually mean at a place like TTU?Find out more about TN Tech's Office of Access, Belonging and Community Outreach:https://www.tntech.edu/news/releases/24-25/tech-launches-new-office-of-access-belonging-and-community-outreach.phpFind out more about TN Tech: https://www.tntech.eduBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy.Find out more about Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy:https://aspirebarberandbeauty.com

Strong therapy starts with strong support, and that begins with the parent.I'm joined by Khaliah Moody, and this conversation really stayed with me. We talk about what it truly looks like to support families in a meaningful way, especially when life outside of sessions includes real challenges like poverty, housing instability, and stress. Khaliah shares how her background in social work shaped the way she leads her clinic and supports both clients and staff. One of the biggest takeaways is that therapy cannot thrive if the parent is overwhelmed and unsupported. We have to meet families where they are, build real relationships, and focus on connection before intervention.We also get into staff retention, building a positive team culture, and how community partnerships can extend impact far beyond traditional services. This is a powerful reminder that compassionate care is both clinical and human.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why parent support is the foundation of effective therapyHow to build trust and connection with familiesCreative ways to support and retain your teamMentioned In This Episode:Steady Strides Behavior SolutionsKhaliah Moody on LinkedInEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

The campaign supports everything from youth programming and hands-on bike education to innovative pedal-powered systems and the vision of taking the space fully off-grid.Free Cycles has long served as a hub for transportation equity, offering free tools, repair guidance, and access to bikes for anyone who walks through the door. But as Bob explains, it's about more than bikes—it's about creating a true “third place” where people can gather, connect, and participate without financial barriers.Listeners will also hear about upcoming events, live music, and seasonal opportunities to get involved, all while supporting a mission rooted in accessibility, sustainability, and community.

For people living with kidney disease, clinical trials can offer hope—but not without questions or concerns. Today, we talk with Dr. Nadine Barrett, Glenda Roberts, and Luz Baqueiro about lived experience, community trust, and the power of being asked. In this episode we heard from:  Dr. Nadine J. Barrett is a Professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Health Policy in the Division of Public Health Sciences and the inaugural Senior Associate Dean of Community Engagement and Equity in Research at Wake Forest School of Medicine, she is Associate Director of Community Outreach and Engagement for Wake Forest Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Clinical Translational Science Institute and the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity.

She is also President of the national Association of Cancer Care Centers, in Washington DC. A medical sociologist by training, Dr. Barrett is a health disparities researcher, expert equity strategist, and a nationally recognized leader in facilitating authentic community, healthcare, and academic partnerships to advance health equity. She develops multi-level interventions to address implicit bias, structural and systemic racism, and inequities that limit access to quality research and trustworthy health care among underserved and marginalized populations. Dr. Barrett brings an equity lens to her work and collaborations to enhance healthcare systems, close the disparities gap in health outcomes, and increase diverse and broad representation in research participation and the research workforce. Glenda Roberts: Prior to joining the Mount Sinai Center for Kidney Disease Innovation as the Director of Communications and Patient Engagement, Glenda V. Roberts was an Information Technology executive with over 35 years of experience with top-caliber corporations, including General Electric, Microsoft and Johnson & Johnson. She was also the Executive Director of the Seattle Transplant House, and the Director of External Relations & Patient Engagement at the University of Washington Center for Dialysis Innovation (CDI) and the Kidney Research Institute (KRI). Before going on dialysis, Glenda managed the progression of her disease for over 40 years using diet and exercise. Since her transplant in 2010, she's completed nine half marathons. Based upon her personal experience with kidney disease, Glenda is a passionate activist for kidney research and patients living with kidney disease. She's involved in myriad patient-centered national and international health care transformation initiatives.  All are focused on addressing patient preferences and improving patient-reported outcomes.   Glenda brings the patient voice to several NIH/NIDDK government and industry research efforts (Kidney Precision Medicine Project, APOLLO), as well as the American Society of Nephrology's Current & Emerging Threats (C-ET) Steering Committee. She's the inaugural co-chair of the Critical Path Institute's Biomarker Data Repository Governance Committee, and a member of the Kidney Health Initiative (KHI) Board of Directors. Additionally, she contributes to the Advisory Boards of LifeCenter Northwest and Home Dialyzors United, and over 15 other industry and academic research advisory committees/boards focused on transplantation, kidney, cardiovascular, and metabolic health. As an ambassador for the National Kidney Foundation, the American Kidney Fund, and the American Association of Kidney Patients, Glenda's advocacy tirelessly advances the voices, needs, and aspirations of the kidney community worldwide. Luz Baqueiro serves as a patient advocate with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), providing feedback and helping develop new initiatives to better support the Latin American community affected by chronic kidney disease. She also raises awareness of the barriers faced by patients living with renal failure while educating and supporting her community in Georgia. In 2019, Luz was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). With limited resources  in Georgia, she relied on emergency in-hospital dialysis for a year. In August 2021, through self-determination, self-education, and the support of her family and community, she received a kidney transplant.   Additional Resources Clinical Trial Information Hub What is a Clinical Trial?

On Vision Sunday 2026, Apostle Jim Raley declared the Church is not dying, it is alive! Rooted in Habakkuk 2 and Proverbs 29, this message reminded us that God given vision must be written plainly, seen by faith, and carried together by the people of God. At Calvary, we do not move by what we see in the natural but by what God has spoken! A living church is marked by prayer, faith, generosity, unity, and a forward focused vision. Vision brings discipline, direction, and life, and every person is essential to seeing it fulfilled. This message unveiled our 2026 focus on soul winning, discipleship, assimilation, revival culture, stewardship, and reaching every generation. We are not perishing, we are thriving. We're not surrendering territory. We're taking it! Our best days are ahead, and the Church is more alive than ever before. Visit https://calvaryfl.com to get connected to the vision!

Cancer treatments come in many forms: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and more recently immunotherapy. While there are many types of treatment, they all undergo the same important checks to assess effectiveness and safety through clinical trials. But what is a clinical trial?

Guest Bio: Sarah Stonestreet hosts the Strong Women podcast. A lover of learning, Sarah enjoys reading history, classic literature, theology, and books about global Christianity. As Director of Community Outreach at Saint George's Anglican Church, she looks for ways to care for the Colorado Springs community through the local Church. In this season of life, Sarah has the joy of seeing God work in the lives of young people as she homeschools her youngest three children and co-leads St. George's youth group with her husband, John.  Show Summary: What do you think it means to be a strong woman? Sarah Stonestreet felt personally convicted to help women define “strength” in a way separate from how culture and society tell us to be strong. Join host Elisa Morgan as she dives into the meaning of strong womanhood with Sarah during this God Hears Her conversation.   Notes and Quotes:  “A strong woman develops eyes to see the world around her with all its beauty and brokenness and to love with Christ's love with the gifts He has given her in the corners of the world where they find themselves.” —Sarah Stonestreet  “It's not that our faith is about the works that we do, but it's that our faith compels us—in love—to act as Christ would act.” —Sarah Stonestreet  “The courage comes because you've built up that habit of going to the Lord and seeking Him like He is silver and gold. So, when the time comes to actually make a bold stand, you're prepared.” —Sarah Stonestreet   Verses:  Ephesians 2:8-10   Hebrews 12  2 Corinthians 5   Related Episodes: GHH Ep 24 – When We Feel We Aren't Enough with Laura Smith: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-feel-we-arent-enough/ GHH Ep 60 – Becoming a Woman of Moxie with Julie Richardson: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/becoming-a-woman-with-moxie/ Unshakable Moxie series: https://youtu.be/d4DlFSeqS9I?si=0zEPwR6ERpAbdHG9  Links:  The Strong Women Podcast Website: https://colsoncenter.org/strong-women God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM
