Podcasts about D2

Your daughter can score 20 points for one team and have a completely different job on another. That does not automatically mean a coach is holding her back—it may be the adjustment that exposes what she needs to develop next.Coach Kelley Meiklejohn joins Ashley Roberts to explain what changes between AAU and high-school basketball, why trust and communication matter, and how parents can support athletes without removing every difficult moment. They discuss changing positions, training outside team practice, balancing basketball with grades and sleep, realistic college levels, and why D2, D3, and JUCO can be valuable paths.In this episode:• Why an athlete's AAU and high-school roles may be different• How coaches build trust through attendance, accountability, and communication• When adversity is productive—and when a role may truly be the wrong fit• Why games reveal trained skills rather than create them• How families can evaluate D1, D2, D3, JUCO, and other opportunities• What incoming varsity players must learn about pace, defense, IQ, and team cultureAshley on Instagram: @_thisisashleyrJoin the Basketball Parent Community for direct guidance, resources, and conversations with other basketball families:https://www.skool.com/itsjustdifferent/about?ref=e5c985b2c58c47afb7bb18a0d15b34e6Join Different First Access to shop new DIFFERENT merch before the public:http://itsjustdifferentapparel.com/firstaccess

Lindsey joins the podcast sitting in for D3 again this week. The conversation takes an entirely different turn as the mother of three tummy terrors leans into a discussion of family traditions. Of course any appearance of D2 includes her own D1 and D2 as things fly off the rail! What traditions do you remember from your youth that you try to bring to another generation? Some of the best traditions are those that grow out of activities that everyone enjoys without any expectations. As Amy often quotes, "Comparison is the thief of joy!" It's when we attempt to recreate a tradition that the whole thing can fall apart. Thank you for supporting our podcast. Please follow us on Spotify, it's free to set up an account.

In this episode, TJ and Sam tackle pace and tempo. They define tempo as possessions per game and use real examples, from Virginia and Iowa's slow, disciplined success to Nova Southeastern's up-tempo pressure, to show there's no single "right" pace. They discuss how your style should fit your personality, your players, and what you can genuinely teach every day in practice, An aggressive system, must also be a mindset for your program. TJ then lays out a quantity, quality, and margin framework, using Gannon's D2 title and Michigan's D1 championship to show how winning the possession battle can outweigh a small shooting-percentage edge. It's a practical, numbers-backed look at how to choose the style that gives your team the best chance to win.Show notesWho plus why equals what + howPossessions per gameEnforcing your will on opponentsYou can't dabble in itStyle must fit your personalityMore talent wants more possessionsToughness beats athleticism for pacePlaying fast develops players fasterDownsides of constant blowoutsQuantity, quality, and marginGannon's title through possessionsMichigan's size and shootingReverse engineer possession goalsSend us a Message.

D2 returns to guest host with Tim with the discussion covering children (Lindsey's Tummy Terrors) and the things that bother us about bad dog owners. Lindsey, with a residential zoo containing dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, a flock of chickens and a snapping turtle (yes! you read that correctly) lends some of her animal-loving expertise to what gripes Tim about bad dog owners. From failing to clean up after your dogs in public, to basically neglecting your dog and their needs frustrates these two pet owners and dog lovers. A dog's life is extremely short compared to our own, and having to spend the majority of their lives waiting, alone, to receive attention just seems wrong. For dog lovers, it's said the hardest thing to do is to own a dog, because we know how it ends, yet we do it anyway. What are some things that bad dog owners do that really "burns your biscuits?"

This episode features Jae Taft, founder of Vision Basketball Academy in Denver, Colorado, and a player development coach who trains young female athletes with a faith-based mentorship approach. Jae opens up about her college playing career — a promising freshman start at an NAIA program derailed by illness and lost playing time, followed by a transfer to a Division II school that only deepened a cycle of trying to "prove herself." That pressure eventually led her to step away from the game entirely. When COVID hit, a conversation with her father sparked the idea to launch an online training business; she started with a single client over FaceTime and has since grown that into a full gym and a growing online presence.The conversation covers a lot of ground: how Jae rebuilt her identity outside of basketball performance; why the coaching pivot felt like a less natural path for her as a woman than it often does for men; and her core training philosophy of "teaching skills, not drills," built around live, representative play rather than isolated reps. She and Tyler dig deep into gender differences in coaching — the concept of giving young female athletes "permission" to play freely and make mistakes, what it takes for a man to coach women and girls well, and how creating a genuinely safe environment gets the best out of any athlete. She closes by sharing the real, unfiltered challenges of entrepreneurship — imposter syndrome, comparison, and financial risk — along with concrete advice for anyone looking to open their own training facility.Timestamps15:46 — Intro and guest background 16:57 — Jae's NAIA-to-D2 transfer story begins 17:47 — Freshman year: promised the point guard job, then got sick 19:19 — Transfer to D2; the pressure to prove herself continues 20:19 — Stepping away from basketball during COVID 21:19 — Her dad's idea: launching an online training business 22:28 — Landing her first client 22:58 — Where the "need to prove myself" mindset came from 26:48 — Finding identity beyond basketball performance 28:49 — Why coaching is a less natural pivot for women than men 31:04 — Faith, family, and stepping into the calling 35:05 — From one online client to owning a gym in Denver 35:58 — Coaching influences: "teach skills, not drills" 37:12 — Game development training vs. drill mastery 39:20 — Why representation matters more than isolated reps 40:58 — Gender differences in coaching: freedom vs. robotic compliance 45:30 — Where the need for "permission" comes from 48:02 — Girls get coached too much, and rarely get free play 50:55 — Should men coach women and girls? 53:28 — Understanding emotional differences in coaching young women 55:16 — Giving players permission to make mistakes 57:15 — The core principle: be a good person, care about the athlete 59:36 — Transitioning to the entrepreneurship conversation 1:00:17 — Imposter syndrome as a gym owner 1:01:20 — Dealing with comparison to other trainers 1:02:39 — The financial risk of going independent 1:04:13 — Trusting the calling through "valley seasons" 1:07:25 — Actionable advice for opening a gym 1:10:39 — Where to find Jae and closing thoughtsResources & LinksFree Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/resources BAM Coaches Platform: https://platform.byanymeanscoaches.com/#/platform Books: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this conversation with Jae Taft, check out these episodes next:Gabe Macias (@gametimeelitetraining) talks skills training, building a clientele, finding a gym, creating a culture and more https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/10554225-gabe-macias-gametimeelitetraining-talks-skills-training-building-a-clientele-finding-a-gym-creating-a-culture-and-moreBJU MBB Tony Miller on Culture, Analytics, Player-Led Basketball and Shot Selection https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19459642-bju-mbb-tony-miller-on-culture-analytics-player-led-basketball-and-shot-selectionG-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, on Why Player Development Isn't Linear, G-League Practices, Being Where Your Feet Are and Much More https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911095/episodes/19047395-g-league-coach-of-the-year-vitor-galvani-on-why-player-development-isn-t-linear-g-league-practices-being-where-your-feet-are-and-much-more

Transfer portal and high school recruiting are colliding in ways that are changing how basketball families need to evaluate college opportunities. Ryan Silver breaks down what players should consider as college coaches increasingly have experienced transfer options available alongside high school recruits.Ryan, Founder / CEO of All In Elites, brings years of experience across grassroots basketball, high school coaching, player placement, and national basketball events. In this conversation with Cory Heitz, he explains why finding the right level can matter more than chasing the biggest name, why players need to get on the floor, and why the assumption that everyone should be a D1 player creates unrealistic expectations.They also get into how the transfer portal is changing high school recruiting, NIL, D1 vs. D2 basketball recruiting, player rankings, exposure events, what college coaches actually evaluate, academics, character, toughness, and the role physical development should play for younger athletes. Ryan's advice is consistently centered on finding the right fit rather than chasing status.For players and parents trying to understand high school basketball recruiting in the current transfer portal era, this episode offers a practical look at where opportunities still exist and how to make smarter decisions about AAU, exposure, college level, and development.⏰ Timestamps:2:13 - Ryan Silver's Basketball Background4:10 - Choosing the Right Team and Fit5:44 - The D1 Recruiting Misconception9:16 - What College Coaches Look For10:59 - The Problem With Player Rankings12:58 - Wasting Money on Exposure15:28 - Transfer Portal and NIL Recruiting18:52 - Academics and the Parent Role21:05 - Developing a Young College Prospect22:30 - Best Fit vs. NIL Money23:30 - Quick Hitters25:03 - Attitude of Gratitude26:21 - Wrapping Up

Christian Brothers Academy Head Cross Country Coach Sean McCafferty joins Airey Bros Radio for a deep dive into one of the most storied high school cross country programs in America.Coming off a historic 2025 season, McCafferty was named the Joe Newton Coach of the Year after leading CBA to 3rd place at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) with a New Jersey-record 15:54 team average. Under his leadership, the Colts have won seven Meet of Champions titles, six Nike Northeast Regional titles and qualified for NXN eight consecutive times.Sean takes us back to his roots in New Jersey distance running, growing up in a running family, his own career at Princeton, becoming a teacher and coach, and eventually taking over the legendary CBA Cross Country program from Tom Heath.We get deep into what has allowed CBA to remain one of the premier high school distance programs in the country: evolving training philosophies, slowing down easy days, threshold training, heart-rate data, lactate testing, building athlete confidence, developing team culture and teaching runners to care about one another.Coach McCafferty also breaks down the modern college recruiting landscape and why the best opportunity for a high school runner isn't always NCAA Division I. We discuss D1, D2 and D3 recruiting, Ivy League academics, social media and Strava, the pressure of coaching a national powerhouse, CBA alumni culture, Nike Cross Nationals and what the next generation of Colts looks like heading into the 2026 cross country season.If you're a high school cross country runner, distance coach, parent, college recruit or fan of New Jersey running, this one is loaded.

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago.

The Temple Comes to Samaria Acts 8:4-25 by William Klock Remember back in Chapter 5, when Peter and John were arrested and brought before the priests and elders, and Gamaliel, one of the leading Pharisees, told his fellow council members: “Leave them alone.  If what they're doing is of human origin, it will come to ruin.  But if it's from God, you won't be able to stop them.  You might even be found to be fighting against God.”  They let Peter and John go that day, but since then they haven't been heeding Gamaliel's advice.  They stoned Stephen.  And at the end of last week's text Luke told us that Saul of Tarsus was going house to house, dragging men and women to prison and that, while the apostles remained in Jerusalem, everyone else was scattered through Jerusalem and Samaria.  And it turns out Gamaliel was right.  Neither Saul nor anyone else could stop what God was doing.  This new temple, not made with hands, not made of bricks and mortar, but instead of people, purified by the blood of Jesus and indwelt themselves by God's Spirit, this temple was going to fill the earth.  Persecution won't stop it.  Just the opposite, in fact.  Luke writes in Acts 8:4 [Page 1089 in the pew Bibles]: “Those who were scattered went all over the place announcing the word.”  These were people who knew, first hand, the transforming power of the gospel.  Many of them had been eyewitnesses to the risen Jesus.  They had seen signs and wonders, done by Jesus and then done by the apostles.  They knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that God was at work and Israel's hopes were being fulfilled.  There was no stopping them.  If they had to flee Jerusalem, so much the better.  Now the good news about Jesus would be proclaimed all over the place.  Think back to Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin and how he'd highlighted how God works through rejection and persecution.  Joseph's brothers had sold him as a slave, but through their evil God delivered his people.  Ditto with Moses.  Pharaoh wanted all the baby boys of the Hebrews drowned, so Moses' mother put him in a basket and Providence floated him down the river right to Pharaoh's daughter.  And Jesus, the supreme example: The forces of evil and death rose up to do their worst in killing Jesus, but in doing so they played right into God's hands.  They concentrated themselves all in one place, in one great act, allowing Jesus to rise from death to conquer them.  So Saul of Tarsus, threatening the church?  God's going to use that to—to get the gospel out of Jerusalem, to all of Judaea—and even to Samaria. So Philip.  You remember Philip?  He was one of the seven in Chapter 6, whom the church chose and laid hands on to do the work that was taking the apostles away from their prayer and preaching.  Stephen was another of them.  When the church calls people and lays hands on them and commissions them to be servants of the gospel, there's no telling where that may lead.  So “Philip,” says Luke in verse 5, “went off to a town in Samaria and announced the Messiah to them.” I suspect no one would have thought—or wanted—to take the gospel to Samaria—at least not for a long time—even though Jesus had said that his church would take the gospel there.  But in the context of Acts, I think Luke wants to stress that even more than taking the gospel to Samaria, what Philip is doing is taking the temple there.  And that's pretty significant.  Samaria was the piece of land between the two Jewish territories, between Judaea in the south and Galilee in the north.  The Samaritans were the people who had lived there while the Jews were off in exile in Babylon.  We don't really know for certain the origins of the Samaritans.  They claimed—and they still claim, as they're still there to this day—that they're the descendants of what was left of the northern Israelite tribes after the nation was destroyed by the Assyrians.  The Jews claimed that the Samaritans were the people resettled in the land by the Babylonians after they'd sent the Jewish people into exile.  There's probably some truth to both.  Whatever the case, the Samaritans followed their own form of Judaism.  They had their own version of the torah, of the first five books of the Old Testament.  They rejected the Prophets and other books.  They looked forward to their own version of the Messiah.  They called him the Ta'eb or “The Returner”—the prophet Moses promised would come.  But maybe what's most important in the context of Acts, was that the Samaritans had their own temple on Mt. Gerizim.  The Jews would never let them anywhere near the temple in Jerusalem—they weren't real Jews and they had corrupted Israelite religion—but even if the Jews allowed them into the temple, the Samaritans would never go there.  As far as they were concerned, theirs was the real temple.  The Samaritans were a people utterly without God's presence. And now Philip finds his way there and carries the for real real temple to a people who didn't even know the old one.  And when God's temple arrives in Samaria, the people can't help but notice.  Verse 6: “The crowds, acting as one, clung to what Philip was saying, as they heard him and saw the signs he performed.  For unclean spirits came out of many of them, and several who were paralyzed or lame were cured.  So there was great joy in that town.” “But there was a man named Simon, who had lived in the town for some while and who practiced magic. He used to astonish the Samaritan people, giving out that he was some great personage.  Everyone, small and great alike, paid attention to him, and said, “This man is the one called ‘God's Great Power'!”  [Luke might be hinting that the people thought of Simon as maybe being the Ta'eb, the Samaritan “Messiah”.] They had been under his spell for some time, since they were amazed at the magic he could perform.  But when they believed Philip as he was announcing to them the message about God's kingdom and the name of Jesus the Messiah, they were baptized, men and women alike.  Simon too believed and was baptized, paying close attention to Philip.  When he saw signs, and great and powerful deeds, it was his turn to be astonished.” The devil was doing one thing in Judaea in a futile attempt to quash the gospel.  He was doing something else to the same end in Samaria.  He'd been doing it for a long time, leading the Samaritans away from God's torah and God's temple.  Now there's this man, Simon, who has enchanted these Samaritans with his magic.  Maybe it was just sleight of hand magic, but the way Luke, throughout Acts, contrasts magic with the power of the Holy Spirit, it seems like Simon actually did have some kind of power and if that power wasn't from God, it was coming from demonic forces of some kind.  That's just the sort of thing the devil would do to lead people astray.  But Philip, empowered by God's Spirit, it's obvious to everyone—even to Simon—his power was different and it was far superior.  Seeing it, these people believed the good news about Jesus that Philip was proclaiming.  And they did what believers do: they were baptised.  Like Israel following God through the Red Sea and into the promised land, in faith these Samaritan followed Jesus through the waters of baptism and into God's new creation. Samaritans embracing and giving their allegiance to Jesus may not seem like a big deal to us, but it was a really big deal to everyone involved.  Again, Samaritans and Jews didn't mix.  Even though Jesus had said that his disciples would take the good news to Samaria, they had no plan to go there—and probably little or no desire to.  But God had a plan to get them there, and when Philip does end up in Samaria, he doesn't let that hold him back.  It's pretty clear that these early believers thought of the gospel as something for Jews, but—hey—if gentiles came to them and wanted in, if Samaritans heard and believed, that was great.  They saw God at work in these people, even if these people weren't their evangelistic priority. And yet, something odd happens.  These Samaritans hear the gospel, see God at work, they believe, they're baptised, but there's something missing.  I suspect Philip noticed it immediately and sent word back to Jerusalem—excited on one hand, but concerned on the other.  Verse 14: “When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received God's word, they sent Peter and John to them.  When they arrived, they prayed for them, asking that they would receive the Holy Spirit, since up to that point the Spirit had come upon none of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.  Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.” Like I said, something was missing.  The Spirit was clearly at work.  Faith in Jesus is a gift of the Spirit and no one comes to Jesus without the Spirit first moving in the heart.  But so far in Acts, when people believed and were baptised, they all had some kind of experience of being transformed by the Spirit  They were obviously different.  The Spirit did a work of new creation in them.  And they typically—and immediately—displayed supernatural gifts.  Some prophesied, some healed, some spoke in other languages, and so on.  Whenever we see God doing something new in the story of redemption, it's usually got miracles clustered all around it and we see this no less in the early days of the church.  Bringing Samaritans to Jesus was very much something new.  But this time the miracles didn't happen.  I expect Philip was surprised.  What was wrong?  So he sent word to Jerusalem and Peter and John decided to go see for themselves.  And, sure enough, something was missing.  These people had believed, but the Spirit—God—hadn't yet come to live in them  They were not yet part of the new temple. I don't know if Peter and John understood everything at this point.  I suspect that they just recognised that these new believers were lacking the indwelling Spirit.  It was weird and inexplicable at the time.  And so Peter and John just did the only thing that made sense: they laid their hands on these people and prayed that God would give them his Spirit.  And God did.  Luke doesn't say how it was obvious, but it was apparently obvious that the Spirit had filled the Samaritans.  And I think as time passed, Peter and John and the others started to figure out what God was doing in withholding the very thing—I should say, the very person—who fulfils God's promises to dwell with his people.  By the time Luke wrote, it all made perfect sense. You see, there was always a danger that the Samaritans would hear the gospel and believe, but that because of the divide between them and the Jews, the Samaritans would end up with a separate church of their own.  A lot of them would have been perfectly happy to have it that way and plenty of Jewish believers would no doubt be happy to have it that way.  But that would undermine the very gospel itself.  God doesn't have multiple people.  He has one.  With all our divisions in the church today, it's easy to forget this, but Jesus was clear: God has one people and one of the essentials of the gospel is that it heals the breaches, heals the divisions, heals the animosity between the people of the world.  We saw the first dramatic sign of this healing at Pentecost as the men there heard the gospel proclaimed in their own languages.  It was a dramatic reversal of the Tower of Babel episode.  And now it happens with the Samaritans.  God withholds his Spirit from them in order to get Peter and John to pray and lay hands on them and in that God makes it clear to everyone that they are all united in Jesus and the Spirit.  The apostles and the Jewish believers can't dismiss the Samaritan believers and neither can the Samaritans—with their long history of doing their own thing and having their own temple—neither can they act as if they have no need of or can be separate from the Jewish believers. We need to be careful we don't mistake Luke's point here.  We often read this passage at confirmations when the bishop lays hands on us and prays for us to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit.  But Luke wasn't thinking about confirmation.  Confirmation is a rite that developed centuries later.  Pentecostals and Charismatics use this passage to explain their experience, arguing that this passage proves that receiving the Holy Spirit is a second work of grace apart from baptism and conversion.  But that's not Luke's point either.  In fact, his point is that what happened with the Samaritans, with God withholding the Spirit, was unique—a one-off thing—that was necessary to ensure everyone knew that there is one church, one body and that our unity in diversity is one of the gospel's most powerful witnesses to God setting the human race to rights.  The whole thing that made this episode stand out was the delay in the Samaritans receiving the Holy Spirit, because the indwelling of the Spirit it not a second blessing or a second work of grace.  It's what happens when we believe and are baptised.  It's what makes us God's temple.  Jesus purifies us so that the Spirit can fill us. And then Simon the Magician. The gospel goes to a new place, but the same old problem comes up again.  In Jerusalem it was Ananias and Sapphira.  The devil crept in.  They let their love of money compromise the purity so essential to being God's temple.  They serve as a warning: Jesus purifies us so that we can be God's temple, but to remain God's temple requires continued purity.  And now the Samaritan believers their own warning about this.  Verse 18: “When Simon saw that the spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money.  “Give me this power too,” he said, “so that anyone I lay my hands on will receive the holy spirit.”  “May your silver die with you!” retorted Peter. “Did you really think that God's gift could be bought with money?  You have no part or share in this word!  Your heart is not straight before God.  So repent from this wickedness, and pray to the Lord.  Perhaps he will forgive the scheme you had in your heart.  I can see that you are still stuck in the bitter poison and chains of unrighteousness.”  “Pray to the Lord for me,” said Simon in reply, “that none of what you've said will happen to me.”  After Peter and John had finished bearing witness and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, announcing the good news to many Samaritan villages.” Simon liked the status his magic gave him.  And now he sees something really amazing, something that clearly and dramatically upstaged whatever it was that he was doing.  And Simon wanted it.  But it wasn't so much the Holy Spirit that Simon wanted.  Tricks were nice.  He'd been doing them for a long time.  But what Simon wanted was the ability to control people.  He didn't want the Holy Spirit.  He wanted what he thought Peter and John had: he wanted the ability to lay hands on people and to give them the Spirit. And in that, Simon was exposed.  It wasn't about Jesus for Simon.  It wasn't about being God's temple.  It wasn't about being purified by the cross.  It wasn't about being part of God's new creation.  Simon was still firmly part of the old.  He wanted to use and control people for his own personal gain and prestige.  His old magic had been upstaged.  No one would be impressed by it anymore.   But if he could be like Peter and John, if he could lay hands on people himself and impart the Spirit to them, well, then he's be back on top of things.  For those who read The Magician's Nephew this month, he's like Uncle Andrew, seeing a new world being miraculously born around him and new life sprouting from the ground, and all he can think of is bring bits of iron to plant so they can grow into factories and battleships to make him rich. He was blind.  He heard the gospel.  He heard the good news about Jesus.  He saw the life the Spirit in these people and he saw new creation being born.  But he wasn't interested any of it.  He just wanted to be in control.  He saw it as a way to get rich.  So he offers to buy this gift from Peter and John—as if it was theirs to sell.  As if it was their power to impart the Spirit. But Peter and John had no such power.  They didn't go around laying hands on people and giving them the Spirit any more than a modern-day Anglican bishop or Pentecostal evangelist does so.  This was a unique situation.  God gives the Spirit, not men, not preachers, not bishops, not even apostles.  This was simply a case in which it was necessary for both the Jews and the Samaritans to understand that they were one people in Jesus and the Spirit. The crazy thing is that we still see this sort of thing despite all the warnings in scripture.  There are far too many people out there, preachers—people calling themselves “apostles”—offering the Spirit or his gifts for money, as if those gifts are the work of human beings and not God.  I expect that when Simon asked Peter and John to sell him this gift—one they didn't even actually have—Peter immediately remembered Ananias and then Sapphira falling dead at his feet.  Because he knew, this false idea needed to die.  If allowed to fester, it would corrupt the church. And so he rebuked Simon—who, by God's mercy isn't struck dead on the spot.  “You're no believer, Simon.  You're still stuck in the bitter poison and chains of unrighteousness.” Luke tells us that Simon asked them to pray for him so that he wouldn't fall under God's judgement.  I have to wonder if they told him about Ananias and Sapphira and left him quaking in his boots.  Luke doesn't tell us what happened to him, whether he eventually understood and actually believed the gospel or not.  What Luke wants to stress here, what we shouldn't lose of, is that the Spirit is not under human control.  The Holy Spirit isn't magic.  Magic is the human attempt to manipulate God.  Humans have been trying to figure out ways to do that ever since our fall.  Magic treats God like a vending machine.  Push B5 to get this or push D2 to get that.  Say this spell, offer this sacrifice—follow the right formula and you can control the divine.  The so-called “Prosperity Gospel” is a modern version of this.  But you don't have to be into the Prosperity Gospel or the Word-Faith movement to be guilty of thinking you can control God.  When we bargain with God, we're doing the same thing.  We think that if we offer God this or that, we obligate him to give us something in return.  Brothers and Sisters, God's been teaching his people from the beginning that he doesn't work this way.  He's sovereign.  He sends his Spirit as a mighty rushing wind and, as Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Those who are born of that Spirit are blown along with it.”  Those who surrender themselves to Jesus and the Spirit are blown into purity, blown into holiness, blown into godliness, blown into ministry and blown into mission.  That's what Luke shows us in Acts.  Jesus purifies us, the Spirit fills, and in those acts God make us his living temple.  A temple through which he will make himself known and through which he will eventually fill the earth with his presence. In this morning's Collect we asked the Lord to teach to us to ask for the things that please him.  Brothers and Sisters, if we understand ourselves to be his temple, his working model of new creation in the midst of the old, I can hardly think of a better prayer.  It's a prayer very much like “on earth as in heaven”.  A prayer that sets aside our own agendas and ask for God to bring us into his.  I'd like to close praying that Collect again. Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and, that we may obtain what we ask of you, teach us to ask for those things that please you, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Jackie knew it was coming. That is one of the hardest things about this kind of grief. For years, she had watched her son Sebastian struggle with mental health and addiction, and there came a point, as she puts it, where it was no longer an if but a when. She braced herself. She prepared. She thought maybe that would soften the blow. It did not. Sebastian was Jackie's firstborn, a towheaded, blue-eyed dynamo who walked at ten months old and never really stopped moving. He was curious about everything, passionate about soccer, and a national chess champion not once but twice before he decided it was no longer cool. He played D2 college soccer, loved the outdoors, and could make a room come alive. He and Jackie were so much alike that they butted heads constantly, but they always knew they loved each other. His last words to her were I love you, Mom. He died by suicide in 2017 at the age of 23. He was in a rehab program. He was supposed to be safe. Jackie says she never found herself angry at God, but she was angry at Sebastian for a long time. She clung to Jesus anyway. She went to church and hid in the front corner of the earliest service where nobody knew her, and she cried for two years. She went walking every day and listened to her Bible, unable to read it, barely retaining any of it, but letting it wash over her. She could only get through the Psalms, underlining every lament. She told people simply: I cannot see God in the midst of this, but I know He is there. Where else am I going to go? She calls those first years her season of tears. And she allowed herself to be in it. What she has built on the other side of it is remarkable. After thirteen writing classes, years of anonymous essays on Substack, and the steady encouragement of a writing coach and a grief counselor she would read her writing aloud to, Jackie has written a book. It is called Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide, and it is written specifically for the mothers who know this particular grief, the grief that comes wrapped in silence, the grief no one quite knows what to say about. Jackie is clear: suicide loss is different. Not harder or easier than other losses, but different. The world does not know how to respond to it. People go quiet. Well-meaning things get said that land like stones. And beneath it all, there is still an unspoken stigma that Jackie is determined to push back against with every word she writes. Her son was more than how he died. Her season of tears was not the end of her story. And no mother who has lost a child this way should have to carry it alone. Messy Mourning is available on Amazon and at JackieMBaker.com, where you can also find companion resources including a journal, a 30-day lament guide, and a playlist her daughter made in Sebastian's memory.

In this episode, R Blank explores a fascinating piece of brain science: how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at ten hertz frequency created network-wide changes in dopamine systems linked to mood regulation. He unpacks what this tells us about how electromagnetic fields interact with the brain's interconnected circuits -- and what it means for our broader understanding of EMF and neurological health. In This Episode What repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is and how it works How ten hertz magnetic stimulation reduced depression-like behaviors in a rat model Why the effects spread to brain regions beyond the stimulation site -- including the dorsal striatum and prefrontal cortex Featured Study Read the full study: High-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation decreases dorsal striatum dopamine D2 receptors in a rat model of depression See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Send us Fan MailA lot of families make the same travel baseball mistake every July: they chase the loudest logo, the flashiest graphics, and the team that “wins the weekend,” then wonder why their player stops improving. I'm Coach Ken Carpenter, and I'm pulling the curtain back on the trophy team versus development team debate so you can make a smarter choice for 2027.We talk about the red flags that show up fast in youth baseball and travel ball, starting with roster size. If a program carries 16 to 18 players on a summer roster, the playing time math does not work, and reps are everything for high school performance and college recruiting. I also get blunt about what happens when winning Sunday becomes the priority, especially for pitchers. Arm care, workload decisions, and a clear throwing plan matter more than any plastic trophy.Then we build a real checklist for finding a development team: a fall and winter plan that supports strength training, coaches who welcome failure as part of growth, and a schedule built around scout attended exposure tournaments instead of expensive trips with no recruiters in sight. Most important, we cover the human factor: the coach running the program. A coach with a real recruiting network and the ability to personally call D2, D3, and JUCO staffs can open doors that a generic online profile never will, especially in the transfer portal era.If you're heading into 2027 tryouts, stop chasing hype and start choosing development.

Injuries, redshirts, and getting passed over are not glitches in the system. They are the system. The athletes who last are the ones who stay, compete, and keep showing up when every excuse says walk away.Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with Division II right side Molle Hobson and outside hitter Bree Messenger to get brutally honest about college volleyball. They walk through double ACL tears, redshirting, losing a spot to a fifth year, and why they stayed instead of jumping in the transfer portal. They break down the real difference between Division I and Division II, how coaching communication and team culture decide your experience, and what recruits and parents need to be asking before they commit anywhere.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Host WelcomeBrie's Injury and College ExperienceMolle's College Experience and RedshirtingTeam Dynamics and Recruiting AdviceChallenges and Lessons LearnedAdvice for Future AthletesFinal Thoughts and Future PlansEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:27 Meet Molle and Bree01:49 Molly's path to St. Cloud State02:52 Bree's VC United and UCM journey04:02 Senior year ACL tear and missed freshman season06:48 Second ACL tear and rebuilding identity08:53 Finding value while injured and on the sideline11:46 What injury taught Bree about leadership17:16 Molle's redshirt year and mental battles20:32 Losing the spot to a fifth year and handling it28:45 D1 vs D2 reality and choosing the right fit40:01 How to evaluate coaches, teams, and social media55:40 Adam's message on the weight room and no regrets1:00:27 Where to follow Molle and BreeConclusionMolle and Bree show what happens when you do not get the clean, straight line you pictured. Their path has included surgeries, sitting, and hard coaching decisions, but they stayed, asked for honest feedback, and kept doing the work. The big takeaway is simple: pick an environment where you are coached as a person, stay accountable for your effort in the gym and on the court, and be willing to fight for your spot without bailing the second it gets uncomfortable.Action TakenBree returns from two ACL reconstructions, gets fully cleared, and commits to attacking a real on court season instead of letting injuries write the ending.Molle heads into her junior year ready to fight for the right side spot after sitting behind a fifth year, with clear feedback from her coach on where she stands.Both athletes commit to:Staying at programs where they are known as people, not just numbers.Owning their role, even when that role is injured, redshirted, or benched.For athletes and parents, they outline concrete steps:Ask direct questions on visits about playing time, communication, and how coaches handle injuries.Spend time stalking rosters and social media to see how the team actually lives, trains, and treats each other.Stop chasing the D1 label and chase the right fit, culture, and staff.Adam reinforces:If you skip the weight room, you are choosing to leave performance and durability on the table.Training, sleep, and taking care of your body are part of your job, not extras.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio and share this with a player or parent who is in the middle of recruiting and needs a straight answer about D1 vs D2.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Molle and Bree:@breemessenger44@mollie.hobson Thank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio. Keep training like your spot is not guaranteed, ask harder questions, and choose teams that make you tougher and better in every part of your life.

Air Date: 6–20-2026 Today we explore how political revenge became official government policy. The Department of Justice has dropped fraud cases while opening vindictive investigations into Trump's critics. Judges who rule against him face death threats at home with no federal protection and thousands of DOJ lawyers have walked out the door, leaving the agency hollowed out by loyalty tests and bent toward retribution.

This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney welcome back The Dads, their dad Glenn, aka D1, and his husband Drew, aka D2, for a Father's Day episode celebrating the sweetest, funniest, and most unforgettable ways these two men have shown up for them over the years. The sisters share stories about how D1 taught Whitney to stand up to a teacher who kept calling her by the wrong name and helped Courtney survive a dry-socketed, mashed-potato-fueled road trip to college. Whitney dubs D2 the Fixer after rescuing her from a Cannes Airbnb disaster and Courtney recounts how he turned a toddler cowgirl birthday party into a full-blown production. Plus, they talk about cooking, travel, favorite meals, and the little traits they inherited from D1. The episode closes with a heartfelt conversation about Pride month, acceptance, and what it means to live authentically, including Glenn reflecting on coming out to Courtney and Whitney and the love he felt from them both.

(00:00) — Welcome and origin spark: Kiki's path starts without an “aha” and a teacher's nudge changes everything.(02:24) — First shadowing, open-heart: A six-hour quadruple bypass leaves her captivated.(03:48) — Type B and present: Owning a goal without over-planning in high school.(04:29) — Balancing D2 hoops and premed: Small-school community and time management pay off.(07:19) — Burnout and a late college switch: Signing in July and embracing a non-linear path.(08:55) — Making premed work: Professors, small classes, and athlete study groups.(10:03) — The grind of student-athlete life: Exhaustion, rigid schedules, and living by the calendar.(11:38) — What gave way: Long-distance friendships and less family check-ins.(13:24) — First app cycle misses: 506 MCAT, six-week prep, content over practice, and low volunteering.(17:17) — Reapplicant moves: Earlier timing, pharmacy tech year, and next-day secondaries.(19:54) — Widening the net: Adding DO schools and securing acceptances.(20:53) — Discovering HPSP: Out-of-state sticker shock leads her to the Navy.(23:39) — Parents' buy-in and commissioning: From doubts to pride; acceptance to October commissioning.(26:16) — Military match realities: Deployment risk and the “assignment” mindset.(30:29) — Final takeaway: Keep trying—“what's meant for you won't miss you.Kiki didn't have a dramatic origin story—no early illness or single defining moment. A high school anatomy teacher's question and a mesmerizing first shadowing of a six-hour open-heart surgery nudged her toward medicine. She kept living fully as a type B student who played Division II basketball, learning time management the hard way: rigid schedules, constant travel, and studying through exhaustion. In this conversation, Kiki unpacks being a reapplicant after a 506 MCAT and limited volunteer hours, what she fixed the second time—earlier timing, practice questions over rereads, quick secondaries—and why she initially applied to only two schools. She explains how medical transport and later working as a pharmacy technician broadened her clinical lens. When out-of-state tuition topped $80,000, she took a hard look at Navy HPSP, did her homework beyond recruiter promises, and chose the scholarship—even after getting off a local waitlist later. Kiki shares how she reframed setbacks, how much community mattered, and what realistically concerns her about the military match: deployment and accepting “assignments.” Her closing message to premeds is clear and steady—keep doing the work, stay intentional, and trust that what's meant for you won't miss you.What You'll Learn:- How a D2 athlete built time management without sacrificing premed- What went wrong in her first cycle and how she changed it- Why she chose Navy HPSP and how she evaluated the trade-offs- Ways transport and pharmacy tech roles expand clinical exposure
