    In this September episode of Current Campus Context, host Heather Shea welcomes back Dr. Crystal Garcia and Dr. Brendan Cantwell for a timely conversation on the state of higher education. The discussion begins with reintroductions and updates on their current research projects, then turns to how scholars and practitioners can separate meaningful policy “signals” from distracting “noise” in today's overwhelming news cycle. Together, they highlight underreported developments from the past month, consider what gives them hope as the academic year unfolds, and reflect on the challenges and opportunities shaping the months ahead — from looming federal deadlines to long-term structural shifts in higher education.

    Why what isn't said can communicate more than what is spoken.We often speak in hints and half-truths, not because we can't be direct, but because subtlety protects our relationships. “An awful lot of the time, we don't just blurt out what we mean,” says Steven Pinker. “We hint, we wink, we beat around the bush — counting on our listener to read between the lines, connect the dots, catch our drift.”Pinker is the Johnstone Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, a celebrated linguist and cognitive scientist, and the author of twelve influential books. His latest, When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows: Common Knowledge and the Mysteries of Money, Power, and Everyday Life, explores how our shared understanding of awareness — what Steven refers to as common knowledge — and the way we signal it, governs everything from friendships to authority to negotiations. “Common knowledge is what ratifies or annuls social relationships, and that's why blurting something out that contradicts the assumptions of the relationship can blow everything up and be deeply awkward.” In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Pinker joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss why humans lean on innuendo, euphemism, and strategic ambiguity. They examine how culture and context shape what we hear, why our social fabric depends on more than just literal meaning, and offer practical ways to refine our communication by paying attention not just to what we say, but to what others know we know.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Steven PinkerSteven's Book: When Everyone Knows That Everyone KnowsEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective CommunicationEp.225 Speaking Fluent Internet: How Algorithms Are Changing the Way We Speak  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:23) - Why We Speak Indirectly (06:39) - The Role of Context (10:35) - Cross-Cultural Perspectives (11:51) - Hypocrisy as Social Glue (13:43) - Clarity, Conciseness, & Grace (17:07) - Metaphors We Live By (20:06) - The Final Three Questions (24:02) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Build a better website with Squarespace today.

Mid-show, Rudy drops in a short interview with Joe Trusty on where AI is already helping pool pros. Back with the duo, you'll get practical strategies: when to treat, what “weekly micro-dosing” looks like, why some removers cloud and others don't, and a clear explanation of orthophosphates vs. organic phosphates.

    Today on the GMM Podcast we sit down with Kaylee McKeown, the undisputed queen of backstroke. In Singapore, Kaylee swept the 100 and 200 back, blasting a personal best 57.16 in the 100 and nearly matching her world-record pace in the 200. What makes this story interesting is what came before it. Post-Paris, Kaylee struggled in training, so much so that she made the bold decision to return to her home club and reboot. That reset worked. By the time Worlds rolled around, she was back in control. But it wasn't all smooth water. While Kaylee avoided the stomach virus that cut through the meet, she did face a shoulder dislocation scare and, in her own words, a bout of “constipation at Worlds” — her funny, unfiltered way of pointing out the irony compared to her competitors' health woes. In this episode, Kaylee breaks down: The reset that carried her from post Olympic training struggles to World Championship dominance. What it's like facing Regan Smith again and again on the world stage. That she is confirmed for the World Aquatics World Cup this fall. Context behind the Australia Swimmers Association, an independent org supporting Aussie elites swimmers. And a candid look ahead as she weighs where to focus her energy next summer, Commonwealth Games vs Pan Pacs.

Indeed, by the time this revelation was published, Church membership was already outgrowing the capacity of the few leaders it had in place. So outlining the roles and responsibilities of the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, the Seventy, bishops, and quorum presidencies was surely needed and helpful. But there's so much more to the divine instruction in section 107 than just how to organize priesthood offices and quorums. Here the Lord teaches us about an ancient priesthood order that was “instituted in the days of Adam” (verse 41). Its purpose from the beginning has been to make it possible for God's children—including you—to receive the saving ordinances of the gospel and enjoy “all the spiritual blessings of the church—to have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, [and] to have the heavens opened unto them” (verses 18–19)."See “Restoring the Ancient Order,” Revelations in Context, 208–12.Support the Show!Become a "PATRON SAINT"!

    Just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, I sit with Texas Marriage and Family Therapist Jonathan Cogburn for what becomes a profound exploration of faith, courage, and finding hope in dark times. Jonathan shares his journey from being apolitical to openly identifying as conservative, inspired by brave voices who showed him there's nothing shameful about his beliefs.We dive into systems theory concepts like pursuer-distancer patterns that explain both family dynamics and our current cultural moment, discussing how healthy conflict is necessary to prevent accumulated resentment. Jonathan reveals his patient approach to online discourse, treating people as capable of the change he hopes to see, while I grapple with questions of when charity becomes naive.Our conversation weaves through theological perspectives on human worth, the intersection of therapy and faith, and how Christianity offers a practical framework for living with our flawed nature. We tackle the thorny question of whether consequences for those glorifying violence constitute "cancel culture" or a necessary reset of social norms. This episode captures the wrestling many of us are doing right now - how to maintain hope, express truth, and build bridges while protecting ourselves and those we love.Jonathan Cogburn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in West Texas who currently works for an agency that provides a variety of support to school districts in his area  In that role he delivers state-required mental health training to districts, supports rural school counselors and homeless student liaisons, and co-leads a team of licensed professionals and school counselors that respond to crises and disasters.

We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS 21-year-old Demartravion "Trey" Reed was found hanging from a tree this week at Delta State University in Mississippi. While the investigation continues, initial autopsy reports and enforcement officers have told us that this is a suicide. Reed's family and Delta State students continue seeking truthful answers. Before he hopped the pond to chinwag with Suspected Racists in the United Kingdom, Pres. Donald J. Trump last week rattled off a lengthy list of White killers who shot up public venues and killed people. This week in Pennsylvania, a White man killed his ex-girlfriend's canine and then three White enforcement officers. Since this cop killer was a White dude and not "LeRoy," this didn't become a point of national outcry. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

    The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly summit on Neutralizing Workplace Racism 09/18/25. A week after the murder of Racist Suspect Charlie Kirk, a number of non-white people have been reprimanded and/or lost employment as a result of verbal comments of social media posted regarding Mr. Kirk. Even late night White jester Jimmy Kimmel had his comedy show suspended indefinitely as a result of his shtick about the recent Utah shooting. Per usual, Gus strongly suggests non-white people have nothing to say about Mr. Kirk or the White Man charged with his murder. There's no reason to discuss this event with White or non-white colleagues. Instead, inquire about making sure the employee parking area has adequate lighting for the coming winter months. In fact, we hear a great illustration of how non-white employees can respond when your co-workers commence a conversation about gun control or the National Guard's invasion of Washington, D.C. #NoPoliticsOnTheJob #INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

    Negotiation coach and author Saad A Saad joins Doug to rethink what “the ask” really means—why win-win isn't always wise, how to thrive even with less power, and why tension isn't the enemy but the spark of creativity.Most people think negotiation is stressful or adversarial. But Saad reframes it asan outcome-based conversation—something we're all in daily, whether with clients, colleagues, or family. We dive into why “dominate or be dominated” is outdated, how over-indexing on win-win kills creativity, and why the real skill shows when you're negotiating from a power disadvantage. Saad also shares his framework from In the Lead: Mastering Your Sales Negotiation—a six-principle model that balances assertiveness and empathy like the two wheels of a bike.TL;DR* Negotiation = outcome-based conversation—happens every day, not just in boardrooms.* Win-lose damages trust, but pure win-win leads to weak, uncreative outcomes.* Power imbalances matter less than you think—focus on clarity of outcome.* Tension and friction aren't threats—they're the conditions for respect and innovation.* Assertive empathy: be ambitious in your ask and genuinely curious about the other side.* Context is king: sales, hostage talks, and family dinners require different tools.Memorable lines* “Anytime you're trying to reach an outcome, you're in a negotiation.”* “If you over-index on win-win, you become less ambitious and less creative.”* “Friction isn't failure—it's the fuel for better outcomes.”GuestSaad A Saad — Negotiation expert, sales coach, and author of In the Lead: Mastering Your Sales Negotiation.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saadasaad/Why this mattersWhether you're closing a deal, pitching an investor, or discussing chores at home, negotiation is everywhere. Reframing it as outcome-based—and learning to balance advocacy with empathy—lets you push for better results without burning bridges.Don't just “hope” your conversations land—design them.

    Seven and a half years ago, a simple question on a cousin's patio changed everything: "How do you stay intentional as a dad?" That moment sparked what became 400 podcast conversations, over 1,000 men mobilized in activation events, and a million dollars raised for ministries serving the fatherless. In this milestone episode, Jeff celebrates by looking back at God's faithfulness, sharing the first-ever preview of the upcoming Dad Awesome book, and highlighting transformational moments from 16 unforgettable conversations that shaped this movement. Takeaways: Milestone moments matter - Pausing to celebrate and shine the spotlight on what God has done builds faith for the journey ahead Small yeses create waves - Dad Awesome wasn't built on one grand gesture but hundreds of small commitments to growth over eight years Intentionality transforms everything - Just like discovering great coffee, small shifts in daily rhythms can revolutionize your entire approach to fatherhood Stories cascade through generations - When dads point to God's goodness consistently, children naturally learn to do the same with their own kids Community accelerates growth - The DA plus three model shows that fatherhood gets exponentially better when you're not doing it alone Generosity reveals faith - Taking steps forward in generosity, whether with time, words, or resources, grows our trust in God's faithfulness Links: Learn about the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word "Dad" to (651) 370-8618 Download a free chapter of the DadAwesome book Clips from 16 DadAwesome Episodes: 25 | Patei Iyegha 38 | Pursuing Shalom, Chasing Dreams & Being All-On-Dad (Paul Hurckman) 77 | Crafting Key Moments, Modeling KINDNESS & Praying with Desperation (Ryan Skoog) 98 | Awaken The Warrior Heart (Pablo Ceron) 137 | Spirit-Filled Parenting, Hearing God's Voice, & Shaping our Kids as Arrows (Seth Dahl) 148 | Andy Crouch - The Tech-Wise Family 187 | Jon Tyson on Skillful Manhood, Capturing First Moments & The Intentional Father 214 | Context, Fainting Goats & Being Secretly Awesome (Bob Goff) 238 | A Place for the Heart (Ken Helser) 250 | Raising Kids Humbly, Loving Your Wife Fully, and Soaring Joyfully (Morgan Snyder) 286 | Parenting for the Third Generation, Building Family Assets, and Championing the Beauty of Fatherhood (Jeremy Pryor) 298 | Dialing In, Leading with Love, and Being the Loudest Voice in Your Child's Ears (Dr. Jackson Drumgoole) 314 | Tackling Fear in a War Zone, Modeling Courage, and Embracing Your True Identity (Jamie Winship) 364 | Bedtime Blessings, Birthday Letters, and 5 Simple but Life-Changing Habits (Justin Whitmel Earley) 375 | Experiential Christianity, Lingering with Jesus, and The War for Your Attention (John Eldredge) 385 | Raising Kids Who Live Generously, Creating Miracle Moments, and the 1% Challenge (Todd Harper)

    “Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.” We've all heard the phrase—but what does it actually mean in the Bible? In this episode, Mike Tolliver and Dr. Dru Johnson unpack the principle of Talion—Lex Talionis—and show why it's one of the most misunderstood elements of biblical justice. They trace the concept across Leviticus, Exodus, and Deuteronomy, exploring how this principle wasn't about vengeance or equal retaliation, but a wisdom-guided restraint on power and a warning to those in authority: “Don't abuse the vulnerable.” Far from being a hard legal code, eye-for-eye was a principle, surrounded by interpretive examples—not a statute for rigid enforcement. The conversation moves from the Torah to Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5, where Jesus isn't rejecting the Old Testament, but interpreting it through its own inner logic. Jesus deepens the Torah's call: instead of demanding retaliation, he teaches mercy and vulnerability—mirroring the Torah's own ethic of protecting the powerless. From ancient village courts to modern Twitter mobs, this episode challenges us to rethink how justice, mercy, and retaliation intersect in biblical ethics—and in our own lives.

    Another listener question. How good, right?  The question? "I am still learning how to apply HOP principles. Can you talk about how they can be used to help us see and respond to risks that never show up in incident data?"It's sort of a version of asking how we know what's happening when nothing is happening, and how the five principles of HOP, if you're into that sort of thing, support that. What five principles, you ask? The ones from Todd Conklin are: 1) Error is normal; 2) Blame fixes nothing; 3) Context drives behavior; 4) Learning and improving are vital; 5) Leadership response matters.Ron starts by answering the question he wishes we were asked, and inadvertently points to some really cool info from the ICAO Human Performance Manual, Document 10151. It's not part of the actual answer, but you should still check it out.Back to the matter at hand, trying to find problems isn't the same as trying to apply principles. Incident data can't tell you everything, but maybe leaning on the intent of the HOP principles can help uncover weak signals hiding in plain sight. No principles will do the work for us, though, and it's not about finding broken procedures, either. It's about finding brittle systems, understanding everyday trade-offs, and asking way better questions.Dave's recipe for success? Give up the 80% of "face-to-screen" time a lot of safety folks waste and get face-to-work (or face-to-face, or whatever else you want to put your face on). There's more to it, but the boys suggest we all stop looking through the rearview mirror and start paying attention to what's just up ahead. Also: yes, there's a glory hole analogy, and no, we're not sorry.The only thing that makes this episode better? A quote from a superfan posted a little while ago on LinkedIn.

    The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Tyler B. Davis. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Davis is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at St Mary's University. His research explores the history, theology and practice of sanctuary in South Texas. During our recent examination of John A. Haymond's new book on the 1917 “racial mutiny” in Houston, we learned that the 1916 Texas lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco was noted as a contributing factor. This led Gus to Dr. Davis' 2025 text, God of the Whirlwind: Horror, Memory & Story in Black Waco. This work is an oral history anthology of several people classified as black who lived in Waco. Dr. Davis, a Racist Suspect, questions them about their memories and experiences with the local System of White Supremacy and their understanding and views on the Washington lynching. Gus was struck by the overbearing influence of the Religion of White Supremacy on these victims. Many of them spent decades of their life in church and/or become reverends. Much of their understanding of the System of White Supremacy and what it means to be classified as White is contaminated by Racist religious doctrines designed to make slaves/non-white people obey, worship, and forgive people classified as White. This broadcast also features Rev. George E. Oliver, a privileged black male who lived in the Waco area and considers Dr. Davis one of his "friends." #LynchingInWaco INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

    When you close your eyes, how do you envision your farm and soil ecosystem? What ideals, values, and priorities are part of your vision and farm business model? Kasper Krabbe, a doctoral student at Aarhus University in Denmark and a visiting guest scholar at Virginia Tech, talked with Mary, Jeff, and Eric about these questions and his research interest in farmers' perceptions and decision-making. Kasper is particularly intrigued by the human and cultural elements of farming and how context informs and shapes the agroecological system and soil health of individual farms and regional farming. Kasper's ongoing inquiry into the agroecological dynamics of farming, soil health, and specific values-based business models aligns with the objectives of the European Union's Soil Values project https://soilvalues.eu/. Additionally, Kasper has created videos based on his interviews and interactions with cooperating Danish farmers. This sample Soil Values video is with a Danish farmer who owns and operates a community-supported agriculture farm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxwHRB9ybRM As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.More details about the Virginia Farm-to-Table Harvest Celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at On Sunny Slope Farm in Rockingham, Virginia, can be found at https://virginiafarmtotable.org/2025vaf2tharvestcelebration/To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

    In this follow-up message on Nehemiah 8:10, we dive deeper into what it truly means for “the joy of the Lord” to be our strength—especially in seasons of sorrow and grief. Unpacking the original Hebrew, we discover that God's joy over us is meant to be our stronghold and refuge, not just a fleeting feeling. But we also ask: is it ever okay to grieve? Looking at the example of Jesus, the biblical call to mourn with those who mourn, and real stories of persecuted believers, we see that God meets us in both joy and sorrow. Whether you're celebrating or facing heartbreak, this sermon will encourage you that God's joy is your place of safety, and that honest grieving has its place in the Christian life. Join us as we learn how to find hope, strength, and even joy in the presence of God—no matter what season we're in.

We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS White gun violence continued this week in the US, with presidential ally and Suspected Race Soldier Charlie Kirk being fatally gunned down in the Racially Restricted Region of Utah. The suspected killer, a 22-year-old White Man, was apprehended on Friday #WhiteOnWhiteCrime Kirk, who was Suspected of being Racist as a result of his public comments about non-white people, was gunned down during a public speech in front of a large crowd of White people. President Trump immediately condemned the murder as an act of "radical left political violence." The president linked Kirk's murder with Luigi Mangione's 2024 slaughter of insurance CEO Brian Thompson. Speaking of White Terrorist Violence, 16-year-old Desmond Holly opened fire at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, Colorado. Yes. That's the same Jefferson County as the 1999 Columbine slaughter.

    Send us a textJoin us this week as we continue to discuss the trials of the early saints and how we apply the principles of faithfulness to our lives.  Jackson takes the opportunity to share a personal experience of exercising faith in following the prophet.  From Come Follow Me:          The Saints in Kirtland were heartbroken to hear that their brothers and sisters in Jackson County, Missouri, were being driven from their homes. It must have been encouraging, then, when the Lord declared that “the redemption of Zion” would “come by power” (Doctrine and Covenants 103:15). With that promise in their hearts, over 200 men, plus about 25 women and children, enlisted in what they called the Camp of Israel, later known as Zion's Camp. Its mission was to march to Missouri and redeem Zion.          To the members of the camp, redeeming Zion meant restoring the Saints to their land. But just before the camp arrived in Jackson County, the Lord told Joseph Smith to stop and disband Zion's Camp. Some members of the camp were confused and upset by this new instruction; to them, it meant the expedition failed and the Lord's promises were not fulfilled. Others, however, saw it differently. While the exiled Saints never returned to Jackson County, the experience did bring a degree of “redemption” to Zion, and it did “come by power.” Faithful members of Zion's Camp, many of whom later became leaders of the Church, testified that the experience deepened their faith in God's power, in Joseph Smith's divine call, and in Zion—not just Zion the place but Zion the people of God. Rather than questioning the value of this seemingly unsuccessful task, they learned that the real task is to follow the Savior, even when we don't understand everything. This is how Zion, ultimately, will be redeemed.          See Saints, 1:194–206; “The Acceptable Offering of Zion's Camp,” Revelations in Context, 213–18.Support the show... Become a "Patron Saint"!!

    If you've ever heard the dreaded words, “I love you but I am not in love with you,” or, more bluntly, “I want a divorce,” you know what follows is a mental and emotional rollercoaster of epic proportion.
