Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds. Our first course, The Perfect Vision Dinner is a time-tested proven formula that will introduce our development system and grow your nonprofit to its maximum potential.The course includes 20-hours of personalized development coaching from Jim Dempsey and Jason Galicinski and also includes a real-time community group where you have access to everyone attending the course and also our Masterminds throughout the course.The goal for this course is to fully equip you with a Biblical basis for Development so that you can Win, Keep and Lift new partners to higher levels of involvement with your nonprofit. → https://FundraisingMasterminds.netFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:→ Instagram: https://instagram.com/fundraising.masterminds→ Facebook: https://facebook.com/fundraising.mastermindsEpisode Keywords:cef of dallas, cef of dallas texas, reaching kids with the gospel, vision dinner, vision dinner success, vision dinner success story, perfect vision dinner, $100K ,#100k ,$10m story,10m story, cef,child evangelism fellowship, raise 6 figures, raise 6 figures for your nonprofit, raise 6 figures for your nonprofit this year, 6 figures for your nonprofit, nonprofit success stories, inspiring nonprofit success stories, nonprofit success, chesterton academy, fundraising masterminds, jim dempsey, jason galicinski.

The Department of Education announced Tuesday it would lay off around 1,300 employees, or about half of its workforce. In a statement, Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the job cuts part of the agency's 'final mission,' and a 'significant step toward restoring the greatness of the United States education system.' While President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to shutter the Education Department, McMahon said during her confirmation hearings last month that she wouldn't do so without Congress's approval. The layoffs could signify the administration's intent to gut the agency from within. John King, who served as Education Secretary under former President Barack Obama, talks about how the cuts will almost certainly hurt students. Later in the show, Brian Sumers, who writes 'The Airline Observer' newsletter on Substack, explains why Southwest Airlines is nixing its popular free bag check policy.And in headlines: House Republicans and one Democrat passed a spending plan to avert a government shutdown, Trump administration officials said they would immediately lift a pause on military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and President Trump weighed in on the fate of a Columbia University grad student who's facing deportation for organizing pro-Palestine protests on campus.Show Notes:Check out Brian's Substack – www.theairlineobserver.com/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In this powerful message, we're challenged to view our children as a precious gift from God, not just as our own possessions. The key scripture, Psalm 127, reminds us that 'children are a heritage from the Lord.' This perspective shift invites us to see parenting as a sacred stewardship rather than a burden. The metaphor of children as arrows is particularly striking - it suggests that our role is to shape, aim, and ultimately release our children towards God's purpose. This imagery encourages us to parent intentionally, aiming our children 'nobly' towards God's glory rather than worldly success. As we reflect on this, we're prompted to examine our own parenting styles. Are we cultivating an environment where our children can flourish spiritually? Are we rooting them in faith that will sustain them long after they leave our homes? This message isn't just for parents - it's a call for all of us to value and nurture the next generation, recognizing that in doing so, we're participating in God's ongoing work in the world.

How do you lead in a crisis? In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol dive into the fifth pillar of the eight pillars of leverage—leadership. Drawing on their military training and decades of child care experience, they unpack what it truly means to lead by example, especially when the stakes are high. Leadership isn't just about titles or authority; it's about how you show up in critical moments and the impact your actions have on your team. Brian shares a personal story of perseverance and leadership during a challenging moment at the recent Child Care Genius Conference in Jamaica. Even while injured, his focus remained on creating a positive experience for attendees, modeling the importance of staying composed under pressure. This example highlights why leadership by example is essential in child care businesses. Whether it's taking the farthest parking spot, emptying the trash, or ensuring your team feels valued, every action as a leader speaks volumes. Carol and Brian also explore the concept of “High Road Leadership,” inspired by John Maxwell's book, and emphasize the value of taking the high road in all interactions. They contrast this with “low road” and “middle road” leadership, showing how leading with integrity, empathy, and positivity can transform your child care business. High-road leaders inspire trust and loyalty, building stronger teams and fostering a supportive environment for everyone. Tune in to discover practical tips on evaluating leadership within your organization, identifying and nurturing leadership potential in your staff, and setting the tone for how your team handles crises. Leadership is not just a skill but a commitment to continuous improvement and growth—starting with you.

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I answer a question from Mary Clare in Illinois, who is working with a 10-year-old client and feeling unsure if child-centered play therapy (CCPT) is the right approach for him. I address her concerns about the child's resistance, performative play, social challenges, and low self-esteem. I explain how these behaviors align perfectly with what CCPT is designed to address, particularly for children struggling with anxiety and emotional avoidance. I also discuss the healing power of CCPT, emphasizing that “just playing” allows children to self-actualize and work through their issues in ways they might not consciously realize. By continuing to provide the right relationship, environment, tools, and time, Mary Clare is giving her client exactly what he needs to grow. This episode serves as a reminder that CCPT is the right approach for any child under 14, as long as we stay consistent and trust the process.
