Born and raised in San Diego, Charles Snow held a variety of jobs early in life, including: paperboy, grocery store cashier, accounting clerk, chauffeur, and sports director at a private school; each of which taught him important lessons about how organizations worked and were managed. Chuck earned his PhD in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent his entire academic career as a professor and researcher at Penn State. While there, Chuck taught management subjects to MBA students and executives in more than 35 countries. In this episode, we focus on the core essay that Chuck and co-editor Oystein D. Fjelstad wrote for their book, “Actor-Oriented Organizing,” which is part of Cambridge University's Companions to Management series. In conversation, Chuck discusses three key qualities essential to flattening hierarchical bureaucracies so that teams of employees can respond to emerging customer needs with greater speed and spontaneity. First, there's a great (often unmet) value in openness to change and transparency. The second is a “commons” area, a space where team members feel they're on equal, shared ground. And third is having the resources – financial, digital, and political – to ensure their work leads to outcomes that are incorporated into the company's operational bloodstream. Underlying the entire approach that Chuck advocates for is seeking to act for the common good of all, embodying the “mutual sympathy” style that made Adam Smith not the just the “Father of Modern Economics,” but also a leading promoter of empathy before the term rose to prominence today. Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Mark 12:18-27 – Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and put this question to Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If someone’s brother dies, leaving a wife but no child, his brother must take the wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died, leaving no descendants. So the second brother married her and died, leaving no descendants, and the third likewise. And the seven left no descendants. Last of all the woman also died. At the resurrection when they arise whose wife will she be? For all seven had been married to her.” Jesus said to them, “Are you not misled because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven. As for the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God told him, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not God of the dead but of the living. You are greatly misled.” Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs Saint Charles and Companions, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day

St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs (Memorial)
Friends of the Rosary,Today, Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs, we read in the Gospel (Mark 12:18-27) how Jesus answers the Sadducees' trap about the resurrection by pointing them back to Scripture and to the living power of God: “He is not God of the dead but of the living.”Christian hope is not vague optimism. It is confidence that God's life is stronger than death.And the resurrection is not an abstract doctrine; it is the truth that lets a Christian stand upright, love clearly, and suffer without being owned by suffering.That fits beautifully with Saint Charles Lwanga and his martyred companions, the saints of today. Their martyrdom witnesses that faith is not merely an idea to defend, but a life entrusted to God even when earthly power threatens everything. They could face death because they believed Christ's words. Their witness reaffirmed that trust that the body can be killed, but the life God gives cannot be taken away.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Send us Fan MailA king demands absolute loyalty. A group of young Christians quietly chooses someone else. The story of St. Charles Lwanga and the Uganda Martyrs is a stark reminder that faith is not just something we believe, it's something we live when pressure mounts and the cost gets real. We walk through how Christianity took root in 19th century Uganda and why the royal court of Buganda became a dangerous place for converts who refused to participate in corrupt demands. We trace Charles Lwanga's rise as chief of the pages and why his leadership mattered so much. As a catechist and protector, he forms younger boys through prayer, prepares them for suffering, and anchors them in the sacraments and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist. The episode doesn't treat purity as a side issue either. It shows chastity and the dignity of the human person as a line the martyrs refuse to cross, even when threatened by power that expects submission. Then we arrive at Namugongo, holy ground sanctified by martyrdom in 1886. Facing fire and death, these young men choose forgiveness over bitterness and praise over panic. Their witness becomes a turning point for the Catholic faith in Uganda and a lasting inspiration for families, parishes, and anyone trying to stay faithful under cultural or personal pressure.

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs Lectionary: 355 The Saint of the day is Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions' Story One of 22 Ugandan martyrs, Saint Charles Lwanga is the patron of youth and Catholic action in most of tropical Africa. He protected his fellow pages, aged 13 to 30, from the sexual demands of the Bagandan ruler, Mwanga, and encouraged and instructed them in the Catholic faith during their imprisonment for refusing the ruler's demands. Saint Charles Lwanga first learned of Christ's teachings from two retainers in the court of Chief Mawulugungu. While a catechumen, he entered the royal household as assistant to Joseph Mukaso, head of the court pages. On the night of Mukaso's martyrdom for encouraging the African youths to resist Mwanga, Saint Charles Lwanga requested and received baptism. Imprisoned with his friends, Charles' courage and belief in God inspired them to remain chaste and faithful. For his own unwillingness to submit to the immoral acts and his efforts to safeguard the faith of his friends, Charles was burned to death at Namugongo on June 3, 1886, by Mwanga's order. When Pope Paul VI canonized these 22 martyrs on October 18, 1964, he also made reference to the Anglican pages martyred for the same reason. Reflection Like Saint Charles Lwanga, we are all teachers and witnesses to Christian living by the examples of our own lives. We are all called upon to spread the word of God, whether by word or deed. By remaining courageous and unshakable in our faith during times of great moral and physical temptation, we live as Christ lived.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

With Che Guevara: The Last Companions, Christophe Dimitri Reveille pieces together the untold escape of Che's last fighters and finds that loyalty, betrayal and truth are never black and white The post “Che Guevara: The Last Companions”, interview with director Christophe Dimitri Reveille appeared first on Fred Film Radio.
In this continuation of "A Band of Brothers," part two centers on the significance of personal greetings in Paul's letter to the Colossians, emphasizing how these named individuals—Aristarchus, Mark, and Jesus called Justice—serve as living testaments to the unity, perseverance, and mutual encouragement within the body of Christ. Through their identities as Jewish and Gentile believers, fellow prisoners, and faithful coworkers, they embody the reality of a global, cross-cultural church sustained by prayer, sacrifice, and enduring fellowship. The sermon highlights how Paul's deliberate repetition of greetings underscores the profound spiritual importance of acknowledging one another, especially in times of affliction, as a vital expression of Christian love and solidarity. The story of Mark's restoration from failure to becoming a trusted fellow worker illustrates God's grace in redeeming weakness and transforming past failures into future fruitfulness, calling believers to persevere and not despair. Ultimately, the message calls the church to embrace one another with humility, to recognize the unseen value of faithful presence, and to labor together in the shared mission of advancing God's kingdom, knowing that every believer, no matter their station, contributes to the eternal work of Christ.

And I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one, as We are One, I in them and You in Me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that You sent Me, and that You loved them even as You loved Me. Father, they are Your gift to Me. I wish that where I am they also may be with Me, that they may see My glory that You gave Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, the world also does not know You, but I know You, and they know that You sent Me. I made known to them Your Name and I will make it known, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them and I in them.” Memorial of Saint Christopher Magallanes, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Saint Christopher and Companions, pray for us!

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 300 The Saint of the day is Saint Cristóbal Magallanes and Companions Saint Cristóbal Magallanes and Companions' Story Like Blessed Miguel Agustín Pro, SJ, Cristóbal and his 24 companion martyrs lived under a very anti-Catholic government in Mexico, one determined to weaken the Catholic faith of its people. Churches, schools, and seminaries were closed; foreign clergy were expelled. Cristóbal established a clandestine seminary at Totatiche, Jalisco. He and the other priests were forced to minister secretly to Catholics during the presidency of Plutarco Calles (1924-28). All of these martyrs except three, were diocesan priests. David, Manuel and Salvador were laymen who died with their parish priest, Luis Batis. They all belonged to the Cristero movement, pledging their allegiance to Christ and to the Church that he established, to spread the Good News in society—even if Mexico's leaders had made it a crime to receive baptism or celebrate the Mass. These martyrs did not die as a single group but over 22 years time in eight Mexican states, with Jalisco and Zacatecas having the largest number. They were beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later. Reflection Every martyr realizes how to avoid execution, but refuses to pay the high price of doing so. A clear conscience was more valuable than a long life. We may be tempted to compromise our faith while telling ourselves that we are simply being realistic, dealing with situations as we find them. Is survival really the ultimate value? Do our concrete, daily choices reflect our deepest values, the ones that allow us to “tick” the way we do? Anyone can imagine situations in which being a follower of Jesus is easier than the present situation. Saints remind us that our daily choices, especially in adverse circumstances, form the pattern of our lives.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
Featuring: Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn this episode of Thriving in the Word, we continue The Hall of Faith series and we stop at a man who never died. A man who walked with God so closely that one day, God simply took him home.We walk through Genesis 5 and trace it into Hebrews 11:5, where Enoch, 300 years of unbroken communion with God, is lifted as one of the greatest acts of faith ever recorded. And he did it without a single page of Scripture in his hands.That's not a footnote. That's the whole point.We talk about what it actually means to walk with God, not just talking at Him, not just showing up when life gets hard, but walking with Him, the way you walk with someone whose company you genuinely love.That leads us into some honest questions:Are we walking with God or just talking at Him? Do we acknowledge God in all things, or only when we need something? Are we companions of God or just acquaintances?From there, the conversation gets real. Think about a hike or a long walk with someone you fully trust, the silence isn't awkward, it's comfortable. You never want it to end. God wants that same thing from us. Not constant chatter. Not a running list of needs. Sometimes He just wants you present, aware of Him, enjoying Him, the way you enjoy a meal with someone whose company you'd never trade.James shares a story about a speeding ticket and what it looks like to acknowledge God in everything, not just the moments that feel spiritual. Lenny jumps in with his own history behind the wheel. And Judah tells the story of a contest held before GPS existed, challengers had to find the fastest route from New York to San Francisco (I think it was these two cities...doesn't matter as it's not the point), and the winner didn't submit a map. He submitted two words: "Good Company."We close with 30 seconds of complete silence on the Blue Mic, because sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is stop talking and let Jesus speak. Jesus gets the mic for 30 seconds to wrap us up.Topics include: Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11, Enoch, Genesis 5, walking with God, being present with God, companionship with God, silence in prayer, awareness of God's presence, enjoying God's presence, faith without the Bible, acknowledging God in all things, spiritual intimacy, companion of God, Good Company, spiritual formation, discipleship, faith-based living, Christian podcast, Bible teaching, endurance, and the question we all eventually have to answer: Are you walking with God or just near Him?This faith-based Christian podcast is for anyone who wants Bible teaching that doesn't stay on the surface because walking with God isn't a ritual. It's a relationship. And Enoch proves it doesn't require a program, it requires His presence.More Info: https://www.thrive.church Give: https://www.thrive.church/give/ Need prayer? prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church. © All Rights Reserved.
