Charlie Cotherman is the Exective Director of the Center for Rural Ministry. He joins us on today's show to discuss the importance of rural ministry and how they are trying to empower rural pastors and ministries. The newest efforts is to help youth pastors ministering to students in rural contexts through something called Affinity groups. In 2016 Charlie and Aimee moved back to western Pennsylvania with their young family to found Oil City Vineyard Church in Oil City, Pennsylvania. As they sought to put down roots and be good neighbors in the place God had called them, doors began to open for wider influence in an emerging national conversation about rural ministry. One of these open doors was at Grove City College. Since early 2019, Charlie has served on the Project on Rural Ministry team, first as administrative director and then as program director. Throughout this time he has enjoyed having the opportunity to encourage and learn alongside pastors from across the region. Charlie has written widely about pastoral ministry, the rural church, and church history. He is the author of To Think Christianly: A History of L'Abri, Regent College, and the Christian Study Center Movement (IVP Academic) and a contributing co-editor of Sent to Flourish: A Guide to Planting and Multiplying Churches (IVP Academic). The Center for Rural Ministry: https://ruralministry.org/ Affinity Groups For Youth Pastors and Workers: This a twelve month journey of meeting and sharing ministry together. We'll be meeting four times in the coming year on the campus at Grove City College to talk through ministry vision, struggles, resources, issues and strategies. This will be a small group experience, so your in-person presence for our meetings is critical. But, you'll help to set the agenda. It's unlike any other ministry training I'll be doing this year. Here's the link for more info. Check it out ASAP. We're going to try to have our first meeting in late January. https://ruralministry.org/affinitygroups
Kim Landeen and Carolina Allen discuss the tenet “We are empowered by our feminine nature and biology, and we honor our procreative power.” “I hope that this episode today can inspire and spark just gratitude for yourselves for anybody listening, any woman listening, that this is for you, and that you're included.” – Carolina Allen The Big Ocean Women definition of “mother” is: every woman who has the best interest of the rising generation at heart, and willingly gives of herself to nourish and protect the rising generation. “In today's standards, the word sacrifice, to put yourself kind of in the background so that something else can flourish and grow has become a really bad thing. But I want to highlight it as a really good and powerful thing.” – Carolina Allen “I want that [menstruation] to be a celebrated time of life [for my daughters] when they do recognize that they're coming into womanhood, a time when they're recognizing their ability to create, which is such a divine power… my definition of divinity is something of creation.” – Kim Landeen “I wish that everyone around the world, all young girls and women, had that kind of celebration and dignity in their menstruation.” – Carolina Allen The Power of Days: A Story of Resilience, Dignity, and the Fight for Women's Equity Days For Girls “One reason why I will never ever stop talking about biological reality is because women deal with it every single day, and it all starts with our menstruation. I refuse to be called a menstruator or a menstruating person. It's extremely, extremely offensive, and it's … psychologically gaslighting millions of women around the world. You can't pick up and just divorce yourself from your biological reality. It's just completely absurd.” – Carolina Allen “The biological evolution of life is you start with menstruation, and hopefully there's empowerment there. And when there's empowerment there then there's empowerment in other relationships that progress. So the relationship with intimacy and the beauty that can be had in our procreative power and … that we get to decide who is part of that process, that nothing is forced upon us, that we get to be very careful and meticulous gatekeepers of that power. … If there's empowerment there then it's built upon that foundation and then there's empowerment in birth.” – Carolina Allen “If women, if we step into that power and link arms as sisters, then the rest of society has to start shifting their perspective and worldview on who women are, and the power and strength that we have.” – Carolina Allen “The highest level of power is influence.” – Carolina Allen “The most generative and sustainable change happens generationally, and the gatekeepers of that generational change are mothers and women because of our sacrifice for the rising generation.” – Carolina Allen “I love this idea of linking arms together because through this struggle, through these joys, through this experience of motherhood, we have or should have sisters in our lives. We should have Aunties. We should have Grandmothers. There should be this intergenerational connection, and whether that occurs in a biological family … or you create that, I think it is of a vast importance to have multiple different ages of women leading and guiding and holding hands together as we raise these precious, precious children.” – Kim Landeen “We as individuals, as independent actors have the choice to be a victim and/or to grow from that experience. And to take that experience and say, you know what I am going to make it better; I'm going to make it better for me; I'm going to make it better for my kids.” – Kim Landeen “The word sacrifice really embodies that you're setting something aside for something greater in the future, and that's a hope driven thing. That's a faith-filled thing.” – Carolina Allen “Everything can be taken from a man [or woman] but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.” – Viktor Frankl “Your children will never get another childhood, and you are the one that can facilitate and create that for them, thus healing your past self.” – Carolina Allen Carolina Allen is the founder and Exective Director of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Carolina holds a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Utah with an emphasis in cultural religions and philosophy of science. Her inspirational and philosophical work has been presented at various international U.N. conferences. She is a native of Brazil, and a fluent trilingual. She and her husband Kawika are parents to 7 children. She is an avid soccer fan and had a brief career as a semi-professional player. Kim Landeen is a founding member and a Global Team Director of Big Ocean Women, the international maternal feminist organization representing perspectives of faith, family, and motherhood throughout civil society. Kim has a deep love for the natural world. She lives in Alaska with her family where she enjoys spending the slower paced life with her children combing the beach for treasures, gardening, picking wild berries, and spending rainy lazy days making bread, reading books, and watching movies. She is an ecotour captain in Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where she helps educate her clients on the relationship between humanity and the larger eco-environment. In addition to her love of nature, she also enjoys studying theology and the inner workings of the soul as well as tracking global political and social movements. Her love for God, people, and this world drives her to continually seek to improve her own circumstances and the circumstances of all those with whom she comes in contact.

Episode Notes During the 2020 elections, Virginia voters passed a Redistricting Commission Amendment. The short version: it changes how Virginia draws its political district lines. In the past, whatever party held majorities in the Virginia General Assembly approved pretty much whatever district maps it wanted to. Parties have used district maps as a political weapon to maintain their power. It's a tool called gerrymandering. But now the map-drawing process is changing. Will Virginia's new redistricting commission help our flawed democracy? Does it go far enough? This week, we talk with Brian Cannon, former Exective Director of One Virginia 2021, the nonprofit that spear-headed the amendment. We also talk with Virginia Delegate Mark Levine, who has concerns about how this is unfolding and whether the amendment goes far enough.

Leveraging Best Practices in Sustainability For Customers & Company Scott Tew's sustainability journey began on his family's produce farm in Alabama. There, he learned that “natural resources are precious gifts that need to be nurtured, protected, and never squandered.” Today, Tew's the Exective Director of Ingersoll Rand's Center for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability (CEES). But, as he writes in Practicing Sustainability, in many ways he hasn't travelled all that far from the farm. The CEES supports all of Ingersoll Rand's strategic brands—Club Car, Ingersoll Rand, Trane and Thermo King—and is responsible for forward-looking sustainability initiatives aimed at transitioning to more efficient and climate-friendly solutions, and minimizing resource use within company facilities. The company has appeared as a top performer in both the U.S. and World Rankings for the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI). Tew's efforts have led to the development of world class initiatives, including the introduction of the company's comprehensive triple bottom line targets, the creation of the EcoWiseTM product portfolio, and its industry leading public commitment to combat climate change at the UN Climate Summit. Bard MBA alum Heather Bowden spoke with Tew about how Ingersoll Rand is fulfilling its bold climate commitment and the company's global approach to sustainability. impactreportpodcast.com

Eric Heiser is the Exective Director of Sturgis Public Charter School in Massachusetts, where students have a 20% chance of getting in if you don’t have a sibling International Baccalaureate has programs from K–12 and early college.

IB for All - no non-IB courses for grades 11 and 12. 9th and 10th grade IB Prep. Students challenge themselves, and grow into their commitment of becoming all they can be. Special Needs at Sturgis on the web site Guiding points on vision: 1. Help each student maximize their own individual potential. 2. Student learning is why we are here and should drive every decision we make. Moving away from the word teach and saying “How do we create learning?” 3 Rs - Rigor, Relevance, Relationships IB provides external accountability for Rigor. Help students see how what they are learning is relevant to their life. Relationships are enhanced with smaller numbers (2 campuses with 400 students each). School culture has a deep impact on the students’ learning. Don’t do ranking, valedictorians, etc. Want students to be their own personal best. To help students be successful, they need a lot of support, counseling, and care. Schools can unintentionally create systems and events that detract from student learning. Recruiting outstanding faculty is the most important thing I do. Relationship is the most important thing about school. 23"37’ Loading… Please take a moment to rate this podcast in iTunes or on Stitcher. Ready for a Modern Web Site for your school?

If you experience any technical difficulties with this video or would like to make an accessibility-related request, please send a message to digicomm@uchicago.edu. The American newsroom is quickly evolving, changing the way people get information on the major events and issues in world around them. Gone are the days when viewers had to huddle in front of the TV to watch the evening broadcast. With the sophistication of disrupters like BuzzFeed, Gawker and VICE, and the coming of age of millennials, today’s news is often provided via high-velocity headlines on easy to use online platforms. But how do these modern news media players impact journalism as a whole? Are these popular news sites overly sensationalist, or simply making journalism more accessible to the masses? Do they have an agenda? Can they match traditional news outlets in depth, substance, and accuracy? And, does the mixing of hard news with lighter fare dilute their product or strengthen it? Rocco Castoro, Editor in Chief of VICE; Max Read, Editor in Chief of Gawker; and Shani Hilton, Executive Editor for News for BuzzFeed joined the Institute of Politics to discuss media in the 21st Century. These pioneers of modern journalism reflected on the nature of their work, how they view their roles as disrupters, and what’s next for journalism. The conversation was moderated by Tom Rosenstiel, Exective Director, American Press Institute. This is event was co-sponsored by the International House Global Voices Program.
