In this message, we'll take a look at Romans 10:9-10 and consider our call to invest in building Christian community into our lives. The second key to community is to Pursue Relationally. We'll get a good sense of what that means and explore practical ways to work it out in our lives.

This weekend, we will begin our summer series, called "Cultivating Community." As we seek to be more of a church "of" community groups, not just "with" community groups, we'll get really practical and unpack 6 keys to community together. And it all begins with each of us spending regular time with Jesus.

Orion Kriegman and his friends started clearing a trashed vacant lot in Boston to create green space and grow food. City hall was not on their side at first, but with persistence and community effort they were able to secure that lot as permanent green space—and so The Boston Food Forest Coalition was born. A dozen more urban lots were acquired and put into Community Land Trust by the coalition, but the stewardship and management of each food forest belongs to the neighborhoods. These are spaces for food, community, shade, gardening, education, wildlife, kids, and more. With more food forests created every year, the Coalition is part of a web of urban ecosystems throughout the city that are little oases of greenery—and hope.

We are all connected to folks with disabilities, whether they're part of our inner circle, or members of our broader community. Unfortunately, there's a great deal of stigmatization, misunderstanding, and judgement that crops up around disabled folks and their families. Parents of disabled children are traveling on a different path than other parents, and often need more support, but the people around them don't always know how to provide it. Therapist Amanda Griffith-Atkins joins Dr. Alexandra on this episode to offer guidance to those parents, as well as the people around them. When Amanda's son Asher was born, she discovered her life's purpose: to help parents of children with disabilities find their stride. She has become a leading expert in helping parents of kids with special needs navigate their emotions, relationships, and parenting, and her book, How to Handle More Than You Can Handle: Caring for Yourself While Raising a Disabled Child, is out in the world today. Amanda and Dr. Alexandra discuss parenting as well as the experience of partners who are raising a disabled child together and what this journey can bring up for couples.

In a recent interview on 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael sat down with John Fox, co-owner of Fox Urban Farms, to discuss the innovative urban farm he runs with his wife, Ann, in Winchester, Virginia. Not only is the venture a woman-owned business, but it also leverages state-of-the-art hydroponics technology to produce crops year-round. John passionately explained how Fox Urban Farms operates out of two mural-clad buildings located near Handley High School. The high-tech hub, equipped with advanced HVAC, plumbing, and computer systems, allows for controlled environmental agriculture (CEA). This means they can manage everything from light cycles and humidity to temperature and nutrients, ensuring optimal growing conditions 365 days a year. The heart of Fox Urban Farms lies in its commitment to the local community. According to John, the farm was designed with accessibility in mind, located centrally to serve as many people as possible. They accept various forms of payment, including SNAP and EBT, and even offer a 50% discount through the Virginia Fresh Match program. John emphasized that healthier food options contribute to a healthier lifestyle, ultimately reducing medical issues and benefiting the community at large. The conversation took a serious turn when Janet asked John about food deserts in downtown Winchester. John shed light on the fact that although Winchester has a range of grocery stores, including some lesser-known international and Hispanic grocery stores, there remains a need for fresh, local produce. Fox Urban Farms actively works to fill this gap by collaborating with local food pantries and ensuring their products are accessible to all. Janet and John also discussed how Fox Urban Farms is creating its own market. While originally experimenting with a wide array of crops, they've narrowed it down to what the market demands. By working closely with local restaurants, caterers, and even bartenders, they meet specific needs while minimizing waste. John revealed that the farm has also become a small hub on Saturdays, featuring other vendors and making it a community spot. Interestingly, John's journey with Fox Urban Farms influenced his decision to join public service. He recently got elected to the Winchester City Council after spending time on the planning commission. His firsthand experience with the challenges of urban farming motivated him to help make local governance more accessible and understandable for everyone. 'If you want to see changes, complaining on social media won't help. You need to get involved,' John stressed. In wrapping up, John extended a hearty invitation to the public to visit Fox Urban Farms, especially on their Saturday markets, and even offered tours for those interested in seeing the innovative farm in action. Whether it's through direct purchases or community involvement, John and Janet underscored that every bit of support helps in building a healthier and more connected community. Learn more about Fox Urban Farms on their website: https://www.foxurbanfarms.com/ or follow them on Facebook. You can visit them on Saturday mornings at 1001 S. Loudoun Street.

Jeff spoke about the importance of community and how it is fundamentally linked to our relationship with God. He emphasized that true love and connection come from recognizing our dependence on Jesus, who meets our needs for love, joy, peace, and hope. By nurturing our relationship with Christ, we enable ourselves to build healthier relationships with others, ultimately addressing the widespread issue of loneliness in society. Jeff reminded the congregation that the call to love our neighbors is rooted in our love for God, and that genuine community arises when we allow God's presence to fill us and guide our interactions.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was just confirmed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, overseeing the nation's food and health standards. He's drawn controversy for opposing many positions of the medical establishment — except when it comes to junk food. Kennedy has repeatedly said ultraprocessed foods are harmful to public health, a position shared widely among medical professionals and nutritionists. Food companies reportedly tried to thwart Kennedy's confirmation, in part because they've known for decades just how unhealthy and addictive their products can be. Today on Lever Time, senior podcast producer Arjun Singh unpacks the food industry's colossal influence over the American food system — and how they're using the same playbook as Big Tobacco.To learn more about Andrew Gallegos' nonprofit Cultivating Community head here.

This week we sit down with Cecil Pineda to talk about building real community in cybersecurity, vendor relationships that actually work, and how to avoid being that annoying sales person calling every Monday.George K and George A talk to Cecil about:

In this special Thanksgiving-themed episode, hosts Mallory and Seth dive deep into the power of community, confidence, and meaningful decision-making. Reflecting on personal and professional growth, they discuss how high-stakes decisions can shape careers, why community support is integral to success, and how confidence evolves over time. Inspired by insights shared during an AMA fireside chat with Tony Proudfoot, this episode explores leadership, learning from mistakes, and the art of building relationships that fuel innovation and collaboration.‍Key TakeawaysCommunity is a Catalyst for Growth: Building and leaning into your network can provide both tactical advice and the emotional confidence needed to make bold decisions.Confidence is a Journey: True confidence evolves from admitting what you don't know, asking questions, and embracing humility while leading with conviction.High-Stakes Decisions Shape Careers: Risk-taking often leads to growth, even when things don't go as planned. Success often requires stepping into uncertainty with the support of others.Mistakes are Building Blocks: Failure, when met with a learning mindset, can strengthen decision-making skills and inspire innovation within teams.Root for Others: Supporting peers, colleagues, and friends fosters a culture of generosity and connection, helping everyone succeed.What Role Does Community Play in Professional Growth? Mallory and Seth kick off the episode by sharing their Thanksgiving plans, seamlessly transitioning into a thoughtful discussion about the importance of community. Drawing inspiration from a fireside chat at AMA, Mallory reflects on how cultivating relationships fuels confidence, innovation, and effectiveness as a marketing leader. Seth underscores how leaning on his network gave him the assurance to take bold career risks, like founding Canahoma during a pivotal time in his life.Building community isn't just about networking—it's about creating spaces for support, candid feedback, and shared learning. This applies not only to professional growth but also to personal fulfillment. Whether through LinkedIn connections or face-to-face chats at conferences, Mallory and Seth emphasize the value of fostering authentic relationships in higher education marketing.How Does Confidence Evolve Over Time? Confidence is often misunderstood as having all the answers, but Seth and Mallory argue that it's much more nuanced. Early in their careers, they both equated confidence with projecting certainty. Over time, they've realized that true confidence stems from knowing what you don't know, asking thoughtful questions, and being open to learning from others.Seth shares how launching Canahoma required him to embrace uncertainty. He leaned heavily on his community to validate his vision and gain reassurance. Mallory reflects on how her confidence grew from navigating uncharted territory, such as advocating for Higher Ed Live's acquisition, and learning to trust her instincts even when the path wasn't clear.What Can Leaders Learn from Their Mistakes? Mistakes are inevitable, but they're also invaluable. Seth highlights a key lesson: if your team isn't making mistakes, it likely means you're not delegating enough responsibility or fostering an environment for innovation. By encouraging teams to take smart risks and fail fast, leaders can create a culture of growth and resilience.Mallory shares a personal example of a career move where she didn't believe in the product she was supporting. While it was a challenging chapter, the lessons she learned helped her clarify her priorities and build confidence in future decisions. Both hosts stress the importance of learning from failures, adapting, and using those experiences to lead with authenticity.‍Why Is Rooting for Others So Powerful? Closing out the episode, Seth introduces the concept of the “root revolution”—the idea that rooting for others costs nothing but creates immeasurable value. By championing the successes of peers and colleagues, we can build stronger communities that uplift everyone. Mallory adds that giving more than you receive often attracts support and fosters long-term career connections.As we head into Thanksgiving, Mallory and Seth express gratitude for the incredible higher education marketing community. They invite listeners to share their own stories of community-building on LinkedIn and reflect on how leaning into relationships has shaped their journeys. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.
