Cecilia Gonzalez joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to talk about the ten years she spent in an abusive relationship that started at fourteen, and how she now teaches teens to catch the first yellow flag before it happens to them.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction (03:20) - Why Love Has to Start at Home (07:15) - Control That Looked Like Protection (10:42) - Jealousy, La Tóxica, and the Stages of Love (14:29) - The Wrong Bus: Love Bombing and the Phone Cycle (17:56) - Blame, Eggshells, and "I Can Fix It" (24:01) - The Music Video That Made Her Leave (27:51) - Three Skills: Communication, Equality, Rights About Cecilia GonzalezCecilia Gonzalez is the Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinator at Higher Ground Youth and Family Services in Orange County. Her students know her as Ceci. She is part of a team that delivers near peer prevention in local middle and high schools, teaching from lived experience rather than from a textbook, and she builds her presentations around quotes and stories that teens recognize from their own lives. She entered an abusive relationship at fourteen with an older partner and stayed in it for ten years, a decade she now uses to show students how control can arrive disguised as protection. She left at twenty-four, when her oldest daughter was two months old. Today she is raising three daughters, and she talks with students about la tóxica, love bombing, the silent treatment, and the rights every young person has: to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Key Points• Control often arrives in the language of protection, which is why it survives the first look. Ceci's partner came to her soccer practices to walk her home safely, and that became the reason she should stop playing.• The silent treatment is the first flag most teens miss. Someone who cares will have the conversation about what went wrong; withholding it is a punishment, and it shows up long before anything physical does.• An apology that arrives as a gift is one more turn of the cycle. He broke her phone whenever he got angry and replaced it within hours with one her parents could not have afforded, which made the next break easier to absorb.• Time in the wrong relationship is the cost that compounds. Ceci tells students, "If you get on the wrong bus, make sure you get off on the first stop," because she stayed on from fourteen to twenty-four.• Blame does its damage by moving the rules off the record. Once she was reading his face for permission he never had to forbid anything out loud, and she started deciding for herself not to see her friends.• A teen's playlist is a way in, and calling it bad music closes the door. Ceci wanted her mother to ask why she loved the sad, heartbroken songs she played loud enough to get told to turn them down.• Home sets the first model of love, so prevention starts before any relationship does. Ceci grew up without a picture of what affection looks like and assembled one from television, the same gap she now watches teens fill with Euphoria.• Teens act on rights before they act on warning signs. Ceci says the first two skills would have been lost on her at fourteen, but "Hey, Ceci, you have rights" would have landed: the right to feel safe at home, to be a kid, and to be loved in a healthy way.Resources• Higher Ground Youth & Family Services• Higher Ground's Human Trafficking Prevention Program (HTPP)• Global Center for Women and Justice• Safe Communities, Safe Kids (GCWJ, Samueli Foundation grant)• Lil Wayne, "How to Love" (official music video)

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse joins Ken Craycraft for a provocative conversation about women's sports, transgender ideology, equality, and the true meaning of human dignity. Beginning with the controversies surrounding the WNBA and biological differences between men and women, Dr. Morse and Craycraft examine what happens when equality is treated as sameness. Their conversation then turns to a deeper question: What gives a human person dignity? They argue that authentic human dignity does not depend on athletic ability, achievement, status, health, or making everyone equivalent. Rather, the Christian understanding of dignity begins with the fundamental worth of every person created in the image and likeness of God. A wide-ranging discussion about biological reality, ideological equality, and why recognizing our differences does not diminish our human dignity.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh to look back on the week in politics:Simon Harris has lobbied the European Commission over the prospect of Ireland's Central Bank once again being responsible for approving Israeli state bonds. Opposition parties have said the bonds are used to raise money for Israel's military campaigns. Ultimately, aside from some political messaging, it's an issue the Government can do little about.Excise cuts implemented in response to last spring's fuel protests are due to start tapering next month, just as fuel prices are beginning to rise again. With the disruptive protests still a painful memory and the Budget coming into view, Jack Chambers and Simon Harris are in an unenviable position. How will they play it?News that the Department of Children and Equality will spend money on a campaign to warn about the misogyny of the “manosphere” and “tradwife” influencers who “promote restrictive, stereotypical roles for women and girls” has enraged culture warriors and prompted a debate on the socioeconomic pressures that make working and caring in the home an impossibility for many families. Should the Government stay out of such debates and focus instead on structural issues that hold people back from living their lifestyle of choice?The Government's recent lack of transparency around two reports, one on Aughinish Alumina and another on data centres, left a lot to be desired.Entertaining documents released to The Irish Times under the Freedom of Information Act have cast light how two prominent pols - Mayor of Limerick John Moran and Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan - go about their business.And finally the panel pick their favourite IT stories of the week.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

On Aug. 5, a new national study of antisemitism on Canadian university campuses revealed a startling reality: 95.7 per cent of Jewish students surveyed said they had experienced or witnessed antisemitism in the past year. The report received wide coverage, including in The CJN, but there's more to this story than that disturbing number. The 1,200 anecdotes submitted by students paint a vivid picture of being targeted by peers and professors for their faith and identities. The research was originally commissioned by the office of Canada's Special Envoy on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism, Deborah Lyons, before Prime Minister Mark Carney's government scrapped both her office and the Islamophobia czar's in February 2026. When Carney announced the makeup of a new federal Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion in June, he told the members to tackle antisemitism first, especially on campus. That's when the study's authors reminded the government it already had the research sitting there, which it had paid for. But what else does this report tell us? What do Jewish university, college and CEGEP students actually say happened to them? And now that we have the research, what happens next? On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast with Ellin Bessner, you'll hear several of the students who spoke out, along with Cary Kogan, a University of Ottawa professor who was an advisor on the report and helped make it public last week, who spoke with The CJN's Zenith Wolfe. Related links A new report finds nearly 95%, nearly all Jewish students surveyed, personally experienced or witnessed campus antisemitism last year, in The CJN Read the report on the Government of Canada's website , and please specially read the Jewish students' personal comments .

A @Christadelphians Video: Video Summary Description: Nowhere does the Bible teach gender as a choice, but something you are born with. Men are not better than women, nor women better than men. Men and women have equal value in God's eyes. This address is a strong motivation to read the Bible for yourself instead of relying on other people's interpretation.In this **thought-provoking** and **insightful** presentation, Bible scholar Stephen Palmer delivers an **outstanding** and **revealing** exposition on what Scripture truly teaches about gender, sex, and the divine purpose for men and women. We explore how the Bible has been **falsely accused** of justifying oppression, when in reality it provides a **wonderful foundation** for marriage, family, and mutual respect.Starting from the creation account in Genesis, we discover that God's plan from the very beginning was to create **male and female in His image**—both equally bearing His likeness. The Bible reveals that men and women are **biologically binary** and designed for complementary roles that reflect profound spiritual truths.This presentation powerfully addresses contemporary cultural debates while remaining firmly grounded in **Scriptural authority**. We examine how Jesus Himself elevated the status of women, rejecting the chauvinism of His day, and how the Apostle Paul teaches that **in Christ there is neither male nor female** when it comes to salvation.The **beautiful truth** emerges that marriage itself is a “great mystery” pointing to the relationship between Christ and His church. Far from being a relic of patriarchal oppression, the Bible's teaching on gender offers a **liberating vision** of equality, dignity, and purpose for all humanity.00:00 – Introduction: Why Study Gender?**04:17 – Foundation Principles: God's Word as Our Guide**07:24 – Creation in Genesis 1: Male and Female in God's Image**14:00 – The Fertility Crisis and God's Purpose**17:39 – The Chiastic Structure of Genesis 5**20:26 – Galatians 3: Equality in Salvation**24:22 – Genesis 2: The Creation of Woman**30:03 – Jesus on Marriage and Divorce**34:21 – Ephesians 5:42:06 – Conclusion:Bible Teaching About Gender with Bible scholar and author Stephen Palmer

The Declaration as a “promissory note”—and what it demands now In the final discussion of The Declaration at 250 series, Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, argues that the Declaration of Independence should be read in the Lincoln–King tradition: not as proof that the American project was completed in 1776, but as a promissory note that sets enduring standards for justice. He confronts the central tension head-on—slavery alongside the Declaration's equality claims—contending that the nation's gravest wrongs were never the result of too much devotion to the Declaration's ideals, but rather repeated failures to honor them. For George, the Declaration's moral architecture depends on natural law and natural rights: rights are not gifts from the state, courts, or political majorities, but are grounded in a “more-than-merely human” authority and therefore cannot be legitimately revoked by human power. He then reframes the most familiar triad—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—arguing that “liberty” is freedom for worthy ends (not license) and “happiness” is flourishing and character (not mere pleasure or desire satisfaction), which means the founding principles carry substantive moral content rather than a thin, value-neutral individualism. Jonathan Gienapp, Professor of History at Stanford University, broadens and complicates this account by bringing the Declaration's historical context into sharper focus. He emphasizes that the document's immediate purpose was political: to justify revolution and to define legitimate liberty as non-domination—being governed by laws made with genuine representation and consent rather than by an alien will. Gienapp presses George to connect moral freedom-for-flourishing to political freedom-as-self-government: what changes if we place republicanism and democracy at the center of the Declaration's promise, alongside natural rights? He also signals that the Declaration did not simply announce shared principles; it generated intense argument almost immediately over what “liberty” and “licentiousness” meant in practice, setting up a long-running contest over whose interpretation truly carried forward the Revolution's aims.

George and Jonathan Gienapp and frames the conversation as a capstone debate.[00:04:40 – 00:42:48] Chapter 2 — Robert P. George's case: natural rights, civic virtue, and “freedom for” flourishing George argues America's failures come from infidelity to the Declaration, not devotion to it, and grounds rights in a Creator and natural law. He reframes life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as moral claims aimed at virtue, ordered liberty, and human flourishing—not license or pleasure.[00:43:00 – 00:47:45] Chapter 3 — Jonathan Gienapp's first question: liberty as non-domination and self-government Gienapp presses the political meaning of liberty at the founding—freedom as non-domination under representative institutions and consent. He asks how George's moral account of liberty connects to republican self-rule and the Declaration's grievance-driven justification for revolution.[00:47:45 – 01:00:19] Chapter 4 — Jonathan Gienapp's second and third questions: wealth inequality + early fights over “liberty vs. licentiousness” Gienapp adds the material foundations of republicanism—property distribution, anti-aristocracy reforms like abolishing primogeniture/entail—and asks how inequality threatens civic virtue and ordered liberty. He then argues the Declaration sparked immediate, bitter disputes (Federalists vs. Jeffersonians/Jacksonians) over what counted as true liberty and who “captured the soul” of American democracy.[01:00:27 – 01:09:09] Chapter 5 — George's replies: non-domination affirmed, inequality debated, polarization then vs. now George embraces the non-domination point and explains how founders linked freedom and republican self-government, while suggesting leading founders worried more about forced leveling than wealth gaps. He reflects on early partisan conflict but argues today's divide is deeper because Americans no longer share a common moral vocabulary or civic framework. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This Week on In Stride Sinead Halpin-Maynard sits down with Linsay Rosser Sumpter to trace the history of women in rodeo, the fight for equal opportunity and pay, and how a rodeo family legacy turned into a role leading the sport's biggest platform for cowgirls.Meet the Guest: Linsay Rosser Sumpter Linsay Rosser Sumpter is the Commissioner of Premier Women's Rodeo (PWR), the rebrand of the Women's Rodeo World Championship she has led since its founding in 2020.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the challenges facing Northeast and other community colleges across the state — many of which are not always visible from the outside. Ford discusses the changing landscape of higher education, including declining enrollment, the demographic cliff and budget pressures, as well as the structural and societal challenges affecting today's community colleges. Ford explains how institutions built around a 20th-century model of semester-based education are adapting to meet the needs of 21st-century students, including nontraditional learners seeking flexibility, stackable credentials and rapid skill acquisition. Ford also examines the pressure to move students quickly into the workforce or through short-term programs while ensuring they receive the broader education, guidance and pathways needed to continue their studies, develop as adults and build successful careers. While community colleges remain an affordable option, they face increasing pressure to demonstrate their return on investment in comparison with direct-to-workforce opportunities and short-term certificates. Ford explores how Northeast is responding to these challenges and working to provide meaningful educational opportunities for students and the communities it serves. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

The real crisis isn't the Declaration—it's what we've stopped teaching. Peter Berkowitz, Tad and Dianne Taube Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, contends that universities have failed at liberal education—the cultivation of citizens prepared to exercise freedom and responsibility. He attributes the breakdown to politicized classrooms, overreliance on narrow “scientistic” approaches in the social sciences, and a professional culture that trains future scholars instead of educating future citizens—leaving graduates with little serious exposure to the Declaration, the Constitution, and the moral logic of self-government. Stephen Haber, Stanford Professor of Political Science, History, and Economics, presses the discussion toward causes and incentives, setting up a debate about who is responsible for the drift and what reforms could realistically restore civic learning.

We discuss the trends in this year's b-school application questions and drill into the details at numerous top programs.

It's claimed a two-tier system has been created in Clare by the backlog in the number of outstanding assessment of needs. New data from the Department of Children, Disability and Equality shows just five assessments were carried out in the first quarter of 2026. In comparison to last year, Clare is behind pace in the number of assessment of needs carried out in the county. At the end of June 2025, 19 assessments had been carried out, with just a quarter of that figure completed in the first three months of this year, despite a near 10% increase in the number of assessments carried out nationwide. Private assessments can be acquired for between €900 and €1,500, however, delays are also resulting in backlogs in private therapists waiting lists. Founder of Clare Crusaders Children's Clinic, Ann Norton, says the vast majority of parents are priced out of applying for private assessments. On April 1st, a total of 109 assessments were overdue in the county, with 86% of these overdue by three months or more. This represents an increase of 41 in a nine month period from the 68 recorded at the end of June last year. Clare disability rights activist Ann Marie Flanagan claims backlogs in the system is creating intense trauma for children awaiting assessment. The Ennistymon native says the failure to make space for new assessments is degrading to those impacted.

David Davenport provides a historical overview of how the concept of equality of opportunity has evolved from the American founding to the modern era. The discussion explains that while the Founders initially focused on dismantling European systems of caste and class, later leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson expanded federal power to address slavery and industrialization. As the frontier closed, the government shifted from merely protecting natural rights to actively managing social and economic outcomes. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson furthered this trend by implementing New Deal and Great Society programs aimed at correcting systemic poverty. Conversely, Ronald Reagan sought to revive the original philosophy by reducing government intervention and promoting individualism. Ultimately, the discussion highlights a contemporary shift in language where the traditional ideal of equality is increasingly being replaced by the more ambiguous term equity.

Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)1967

UK Arms Police to Protect Pride as Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence Surges Worldwide As the UK considers arming police officers assigned to protect LGBTQ+ communities and Pride events, Karel asks a difficult question: Have we become dangerously numb to violence, war, and injustice? Gay Week contributor Scott Jacobsen is currently experiencing an active bombing situation in Ukraine—a stark reminder that millions of people have lived under the threat of ballistic missiles for years while much of the world looks away. Karel also addresses the devastation in Gaza, the killing of a person by a van in Berlin, Romania's restrictions on Pride festivals, and the relentless stream of anti-LGBTQ+ violence worldwide. These stories make headlines, provoke momentary outrage, and are quickly replaced by the next crisis. But when cruelty becomes routine and complacency takes hold, what will it take to make us act? Today's Karel Cast is an honest—and emotionally exhausted—conversation about Ukraine, Gaza, LGBTQ+ rights, global apathy, and the human cost of accepting injustice as normal.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the legislative priorities for not only Northeast but all 15 community colleges in the Magnolia State. Ford breaks down the three pillars that the community colleges will be asking the Mississippi Legislature to fund in 2027, including $41.5 million for the Jobs Promise Performance Program to train 5,500 highly skilled workers for high-demand careers, $39 million in general support to improve salaries and retain talented educators, and $100 million for capital improvements and necessary campus repairs. Ford also explains the funding formula used to distribute resources among Mississippi's community colleges and how each of these investments would directly benefit Northeast students, faculty, and facilities. In addition to the three pillars, the colleges are requesting $2 million to support Adult Education programs. Ford highlights the critical role Adult Education plays in workforce development, from helping individuals earn their HiSET to preparing them for employment or continued education at Northeast. Ford discusses the long-term impact these investments could have across the community college system and how strategic funding can strengthen opportunities for students and communities alike. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Wyoming is famous as the Cowboy State, but women have shaped its laws, land, culture, and communities from the beginning.

Middle East on the Brink, Berlin Pride Terror, and America's Housing Crisis | The Karel Cast The world feels like it's balancing on the edge of a knife. Iran says it will stop bombing if the attacks against it stop, while the Houthis open another dangerous front by targeting Saudi Arabia. Is the Middle East moving toward de-escalation—or toward an even wider regional conflict? And what role is U.S. leadership playing as tensions continue to rise? Then, tragedy strikes at one of the world's oldest Pride celebrations. A deadly attack at Berlin Pride leaves people dead and injured, raising difficult questions about extremism, intolerance, and whether religious ideologies that promote hatred can coexist with an open, democratic society. How much responsibility do political leaders and inflammatory rhetoric bear when violence follows? Plus, I made what I thought was a simple comment about a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles renting for $2,500. The response? Thousands of people debating why housing has become unaffordable for so many Americans—and who is really to blame. Join me as we cut through the headlines, challenge assumptions, and talk about the stories shaping our world today. If you enjoy independent journalism, honest conversation, and perspectives you won't hear anywhere else:

Naomi Kahn, June Carbone, and Nancy Levitt are three distinguished law professors and co-authors of the groundbreaking book Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy. Together, they explain why so many women feel that, no matter how educated they are, how ambitious and effective they prove themselves to be, or how hard they work, they can't seem to get ahead or even level the playing field. Research exposes the reasons, and these three legal scholars not only put it in black and white but also discuss with us the kind of betrayal women feel when the rules of the game limit their opportunities and potential. We discuss why women's economic progress has stalled, how unproductive competition holds women back, and the triple-bind obstacles they face. But we also explore simple solutions to fix it.

For decades, surfing has been celebrated as the ultimate expression of freedom. But who truly gets to experience that freedom? In this inspiring episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, we welcome Yvette Cave, founder of Wave Wahines  and one of the leading voices advocating for equality, diversity, and inclusion within the surfing community. Driven by the belief that the ocean should belong to everyone, Yvette has dedicated her career to breaking down barriers that prevent people from experiencing the transformative power of surfing. Through Wave Wahines, she has created opportunities for women, girls, refugees, underrepresented communities, and LGBTQ+ participants to discover confidence, friendship, and belonging through the ocean. Beyond her work with Wave Wahines, Yvette also serves as Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at Surfers Against Sewage, helping shape initiatives that encourage a more welcoming and representative surf culture across the United Kingdom. During our conversation, Yvette shares her personal journey into surfing, the challenges she has encountered while promoting inclusivity, and why creating safe and supportive spaces in the water can have a profound impact far beyond the beach. We discuss how surfing builds confidence, strengthens communities, and offers a unique opportunity for people from all backgrounds to connect with nature and with each other. This episode also explores how the surfing world is evolving. As participation grows globally, conversations around accessibility, diversity, representation, and environmental responsibility are becoming increasingly important. Yvette offers thoughtful insights into how the surf community can preserve its authentic spirit while becoming more open and inclusive for future generations. Whether you're a lifelong surfer, someone curious about the culture, or simply interested in stories of people creating positive change, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the true meaning of surfing. It's a reminder that the ocean has the power to unite us, challenge us, and inspire us, regardless of age, gender, background, or ability. At The Temple of Surf Podcast, we believe that every surfer has a story worth telling. Yvette Cave's story is one of compassion, leadership, and determination, demonstrating that surfing is far more than a sport, it can be a powerful tool for connection, empowerment, and social change. If you enjoy conversations about surf culture, inspiring people, environmental awareness, and the future of our community, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with fellow surfers and ocean lovers. The waves belong to everyone and this conversation beautifully explains why. #YvetteCave #TheTempleOfSurf #SurfPodcast #WaveWahines #SurfersAgainstSewage #Surfing #SurfCulture #WomenInSurfing #Inclusion #Diversity #Equality #Ocean #Community #FemaleSurfers #SurfCommunity #OceanConservation #SurfLifestyle #Empowerment #OutdoorLeadership #OceanForEveryone

LGBTQ Rights Under Fire Worldwide: Pride Bans, Political Vetoes and Violence | This Gay Week LGBTQ rights are advancing in some parts of the world—but this week's headlines reveal a dangerous global backlash. On this episode of This Gay Week, Karel examines new reporting about the LGBTQ community in wartime Ukraine, a Romanian city's refusal to authorize a Pride march, and condemnation of Indonesia's decision to classify the “spread of LGBTQ culture” as a national security threat. In Poland, the president has vetoed legislation intended to recognize same-sex couples. In Senegal, the daughter of a prominent anti-LGBTQ advocate has reportedly been arrested on drug and “lesbianism” charges amid an intensifying crackdown. Cape Verde, meanwhile, offers a more hopeful story as one of Africa's most LGBTQ-friendly countries—even as activists warn that legal protections have not eliminated discrimination and violence. Back in the United States, a Florida man received seven years after shooting and partially paralyzing his LGBTQ neighbor. In another frightening incident, police killed an armed man accused of opening fire outside a gay dive bar. These stories span continents, but they raise the same urgent questions: Are governments protecting LGBTQ people—or turning their identities into political targets? Why is Pride still treated as a threat? And what does genuine equality require beyond laws and public promises? Stories discussed: LGBTQ life in Ukraine during the first half of 2026 Man sentenced for shooting and paralyzing LGBTQ neighbor Romanian city resists authorizing LGBTQ Pride march ASEAN organization condemns Indonesia's LGBTQ “security threat” label Daughter of Senegalese anti-LGBTQ advocate arrested Cape Verde's LGBTQ progress amid challenges across Africa Polish president vetoes bills recognizing same-sex couples Police kill man accused of firing on gay dive bar Support The Karel Cast at Patreon.com/reallykarel.

Send us Fan MailHierarchy is one of those words that can shut people down fast, especially if they've lived through controlling bosses, broken politics, or family systems where power gets abused. We go a different route: we hold tight to the idea that every person has equal worth, while also insisting that real life requires hierarchy in function. When roles are clear and authority is accountable, work flows, decisions get made, and relationships stay mutual instead of turning into quiet resentment.We walk through what hierarchy actually means and why it's not the same thing as a pyramid with a tiny elite on top. Using stories and everyday pictures, we connect structure to outcomes: why delegation matters, how leadership works best when it is also “under authority,” and what happens when hierarchy gets twisted into corruption and power abuse. We even pull in systems thinking with simple examples like a circle rolling smoothly while a square keeps catching, plus a biology-based “lock and key” metaphor that shows how function follows structure.We also talk about how hierarchy shows up across generations, especially in modern organizations where people from different decades work side by side. That's where ideas like reverse mentoring make sense, not as a buzzword, but as a practical way to move value in both directions. We close with a challenge that lands hard: growth usually requires a force to push against, like gravity, and healthy structure can be that force without demeaning anyone.If this makes you rethink authority, workplace culture, organizational structure, or leadership, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new

Today, David offers his final reflection on our nation’s 250th anniversary by taking a look at what happened to "created equal" on the way to the 21st Century. He uses the insights from two speeches given by Abraham Kuyper at the turn of the 19th century to offer a corrective he believes the church must make if there are going to be another 250 years under our original written Constitution.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
