The state of Wisconsin has a constitutional obligation to provide equal opportunity for a sound basic education and adequate and reasonably uniform funding of our public schools. But for decades, the state hasn't provided sufficient funds to school districts or distributed those funds fairly. That's why a group of five school districts have filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin legislature–the topic of our show today.  Guest host Bert Zipperer is in conversation with Jeff Mandell, Julie Underwood, and Heather DuBois Bourenane to break down the reasons for the lawsuit and how the state can better serve its 421 school districts.  Shortfalls in state funding have left many school districts using ballot referenda to increase their spending limits. Mandell points out that referendums were once used for capital expenses but now are increasingly applied to operational costs. He says this isn't how the system is designed to work. Bourenane calls it a “disequalizing way to fund public education,” that further divides the “haves from the have nots.”  But you can't talk about the school finance system without talking about vouchers, “because they suck so much money out of the landscape,” says Underwood. Mandell clarifies the lawsuit isn't against voucher schools, but legislators need to reckon with the reality that the state is now funding voucher/independent schools to the tune of over $700 million a year. Some municipalities, like Green Bay and Eau Claire, have started to publish how much of residents’ property taxes go to voucher schools.  Underwood says public education is at the heart of our democracy, and we need adequately-funded public schools to create an informed citizenry who can participate in public debate.  Jeff Mandell is a co-founder of and General Counsel at Law Forward, a nonprofit law firm dedicated to protecting and strengthening democracy in Wisconsin. Jeff has nearly twenty years of experience in complex litigation and appellate advocacy, and is widely recognized as one of Wisconsin's leading experts in constitutional litigation and election law. Julie Underwood has focused her career on issues involving public school law and policy, as General Counsel for the National School Board Association and former Dean of the School of Education at UW-Madison. Heather DuBois Bourenane is the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Public Education Network, a public education advocacy group that shares resources, ideas, and actions that support the public schools at the heart of our communities. Their annual Summer Summit will be held this year in Superior, Wisconsin. Featured image of a child exploring library bookshelves via Rawpixel. Did you enjoy this story?

This year's celebration marks a major expansion for the event, bridging the worlds of aerospace and industry with a first-of-its-kind tribute to Michigan's wartime “Rosies on the Farm.” The gathering honors the women who redefined the American workforce during WWII and the trailblazers leading Michigan's industries today. Emceed by Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame inductee Sheri Jones, the afternoon is a vibrant, multi-generational celebration featuring a breathtaking vintage aircraft flyover and a veteran pin ceremony led by Retired Col. Frank J. Walker. A robust lineup of keynote speakers will address the crowd, including Lansing Mayor Andy Schor and leaders from UAW Region 1, Jiffy Mix, and the Michigan Department of Corrections Vocational Village. The program will also feature the presentation of ten Rosie Awards, honoring outstanding women in industry from across the state, Rosie families in memoriam, and educators dedicated to empowering their students with the Rosie spirit of grit and innovation. “Michigan Rosie Day honors the women whose skill and resolve kept Michigan moving during wartime,” said Cindy Kangas, Executive Director of the Capital Area Manufacturing Council. “We hope their example inspires today's women in STEM and the skilled trades to pursue bold careers, and that these stories continue to shape how we teach, recruit, and remember.” “Seeing my grandmother's story honored alongside these incredible women is more than just a history lesson—it's a homecoming. For our family, this day is about ensuring that her courage and hard work aren't just remembered, but are used to fuel the dreams of her great-grandchildren,” said Madelyn Taylor, daughter of Clara. “The women who built planes in the 1940s share the same spirit as the people in our shops and on our farms today. By honoring the ‘Rosies on the Farm' alongside our manufacturing pioneers, we're showing the next generation that there is a place for everyone in Michigan's workforce,” said Tanya Blehm, event coordinator. Experience Hands-On History The airport event space will serve as a hands-on history hub where Michigan's legacy comes to life. Featuring interactive exhibits from Impression 5 Science Center, local robotics teams, and Jiffy Mix, the event is designed for kids and grandparents to explore side-by-side. In a tribute to the legendary “Doughnut Dollies,” the American Red Cross of Michigan will be in attendance dressed in historic character to share the story of the brave women who served on the front lines during WWII.

The price you see online might not be the real price. A new investigation found that Instacart was quietly running pricing experiments—charging different customers different prices for the same groceries at the same time. This week, Paul and Goldy talk with Groundwork Collaborative Executive Director Lindsay Owens about how companies are using AI and massive data sets to run experiments on consumers—testing exactly how much each of us is willing to pay. And if every shopper sees a different price, one big question follows: Do markets still work the way economists say they do? Lindsay Owens is the Executive Director of the economic think tank Groundwork Collaborative and author of the forthcoming book, GOUGED: The End of a Fair Price in America.

What does sleep look like for a child who doesn't have a bed? In honor of National Sleep Awareness Week, Allison is spotlighting a foundational—but often overlooked—piece of healthy sleep: having a bed. In this episode, she's joined by Lauren Evans, mom of two and Executive Director of Beds for Kids, an organization serving more than 1,000 families each year by providing beds and essential furniture to children and parents in need. Lauren shares how becoming a parent shaped her passion for this work, the moment she first realized furniture poverty existed, and how Beds for Kids grew from a small garage operation into a large-scale nonprofit serving families across the Charlotte area. Together, Allison and Lauren explore why sleep is so deeply connected to stability, safety, and emotional well-being and how the absence of something as basic as a bed can ripple into every part of a child's life. The conversation highlights the impact of sleep deprivation on children facing housing instability or trauma, as well as the toll it takes on parents who are already juggling immense stress. Lauren explains how providing beds, cribs, and furniture helps families establish routines, improve sleep, and begin to feel truly settled in their homes. Allison and Lauren also dive into the innovative and sustainable model Beds for Kids uses to source furniture, including partnerships with colleges, universities, and retailers that keep tens of thousands of items out of landfills each year. You'll hear how volunteers power the mission, how families (including children) can get involved, and exactly what different donation amounts make possible. During Sleep Awareness Week and beyond, it's worth remembering that for many families, better sleep starts with access to something most of us take for granted - a bed.

This week on Rising Up for Justice, Jenn Stowe, the Executive Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance  joins us.

Yinz Are Good shares the good stuff, the good news, going on out there and celebrates all the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who unite us and who remind us that we are all a lot more alike than we are different. One of our goals has always been to provide a space to hear each other's stories - and, more specifically, the parts of our stories that we don't usually get around to sharing. The “why” behind who we are and what we do. The struggles, the light bulb moments, the heartache, the accomplishments, the joy…Because this is what connects us - this is how we see ourselves in one another. And when we see ourselves in others, the world begins to change. Today's conversation encompasses all of this. De'Netta Benjamin-Miller  is a licensed clinical social worker, she provides free mental health services to the community through her own company, Focus on Life Counseling Center, and she is Executive Director of Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS. In a nutshell, Sojourner House provides compassionate recovery services for mothers and their families. And the “and their families” is what truly sets them apart, as you'll hear. As you may imagine, this conversation discusses trauma, and De'netta candidly shares her own traumatic experience and how it led her to the powerful work she's doing today.Sojourner House: https://www.sojournerhousepa.org/Sojourner House's Victorian Tea:March 22nd, 2026/Windham Grand Pittsburghhttps://secure.qgiv.com/event/2026victoriantea/Focus on Life LLC: https://denettabenjamin7710.clientsecure.me/

What if the biggest challenge facing the mortgage industry isn't rates, guidelines, or loan products—but trust?In this episode of Laugh, Lend & Eat, Fobby Naghmi sits down with Kristin Messerli, Executive Director of FirstHome IQ, to unpack the growing trust and knowledge gap between the mortgage industry and the next generation of homebuyers.Drawing from the FirstHome IQ Impact Report, Kristin shares eye-opening research about how Millennials and Gen Z approach homeownership—and why many are delaying one of the most important financial decisions of their lives.The conversation explores why today's buyers feel overwhelmed by financial information, why so few trust industry professionals to guide them, and why the future of mortgage professionals may depend less on selling loans and more on educating and advocating for consumers.They also discuss Kristin's work bringing mortgage professionals to Washington through industry advocacy efforts, and why loan officers may play a critical role in shaping housing policy and rebuilding confidence in homeownership.If the industry wants to reach the next generation of buyers, it may need to rethink what it means to be a trusted advisor.In This EpisodeWhy the mortgage industry is facing a growing trust crisisThe surprising financial literacy gap among younger buyersWhy information overload causes people to delay buying homesThe difference between selling mortgages and educating consumersWhy loan officers may need to become community educatorsThe role mortgage professionals can play in housing advocacy and policyKey TakeawaysTrust is the real barrier.Many younger consumers don't lack motivation to buy homes—they lack confidence in who to trust for guidance.Financial literacy is missing.A large percentage of Millennials and Gen Z never received meaningful education about mortgages or homeownership before entering the housing market.Education builds business.Mortgage professionals who lead with clear, simple financial education can build stronger relationships and long-term referral networks.Advocacy matters.Loan officers who engage in housing policy conversations can help ensure lawmakers understand the real barriers borrowers face.

“I will always tell the American people the truth. Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms” writes Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of the HHS. “Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals… If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms… The consequences would be disastrous.” MAHA is split over Kennedy's statement explaining President Trump's recent support for Bayer and their product Roundup (originally from Monsanto). Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is an herbicide that has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, was labeled “probably carcinogenic” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and is the subject of thousands of lawsuits. It is the most-used weedkiller in history. Remi Adeleke is a former Navy SEAL, filmmaker, and author.

When Isaac's age had led to near blindness, he desired to give his blessing to his favorite son, Esau, despite what the LORD had said when the twins were in the womb. Rebekah overheard her husband's plan and worked with her favorite son, Jacob, to secure the blessing for him instead. Rebekah prepared food like Esau would have and clothed Jacob with Esau's clothing. Isaac's poor eyesight prevented him from seeing the truth, and he prepared to give the blessing to the son dressed as Esau. Though deception was involved in Genesis 27, the story provides a picture of what God does for us with no deception as He clothes us with the righteousness of Christ in Holy Baptism so that we receive His blessing.  Rev. Harrison Goodman, Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 27:1-25.  To learn more about Higher Things, visit higherthings.org. “In the Beginning” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies Genesis. The first book of Moses sets the stage for God's entire story of salvation. As we learn the beginning of the story, God prepares us to receive the fulfillment of the story: Jesus Christ, the Offspring of the woman who has crushed our enemy's head.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

We are doing a redistricting deepdive on today's show! Adam Kincaid is the President & Executive Director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust. Adam takes us state by state in what to expect as midterms rapidly approach. Starting with California, the new proposed map with most likely go uncontested, giving Democrats a potential three seats. Republicans may pick up one seat in Missouri, Ohio and North Carolina. Indiana was a massive disappointment, failing to address redistricting and getting lots of heat from President Trump. Kansas and Nebraska are a wash. The big enchilada for Republicans is Texas, gaining 3 solid red seats and 2 emerging battleground opportunities with a potential of five seats total. Virginia, under the leadership of Abigail Spanberger will be the most gerrymandered state in 2026 if Republicans don't vote to stop the Democrats. It will ultimately be up to Florida to give Republicans the edge and Adam gives us the latest on how it will all shake out.

Spiritual practices can improve your physical and emotional health – but that doesn't mean spirituality is a wellness hack. David DeSteno's groundbreaking work explores how religious rituals like prayer and chanting are so beneficial as powerful psychological tools. But what happens if you take these rituals outside of their community context? David can speak to both sides of the equation: the science behind faith, and the mystery of the sacred.   David DeSteno is a professor of psychology at Northeastern University, where he directs the Social Emotions Lab – exploring the effects of emotions like gratitude and compassion. His latest book is called How God Works: The Science Behind the Benefits of Religion, and he hosts a podcast of the same name.  About David's work: David's website How God Works: The Science Behind the Benefits of Religion - 2021 book How God Works podcast  Social Emotions Lab David referenced:  Michael Pollen Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research  Rabbi Shira Stutman  Rabbi Angela Buchdahl Rev.

Emanuel Bistrian, Executive Director of Generosity Path, grew up in a small Romanian village under communism, one of twelve children in a faithful Christian family. After immigrating to Chicago with almost nothing, he watched his mother give generously even in scarcity. That witness shaped his ambition, not simply to succeed, but to live on purpose. Over time, as he built businesses in the United States and Romania, God reshaped his view of wealth from something to secure into something to steward with open hands. In this conversation, Emanuel shares how he and his wife chose to give from revenue rather than profit, trusting God through the global financial crisis and seasons of real risk. He describes how local generosity is transforming churches in places like Ethiopia and South Sudan, restoring dignity and fueling gospel work from within communities rather than depending on the West. Through Generosity Path, he now helps leaders around the world discover generosity as surrender, community, and mission. Listen to explore how courageous generosity can restore dignity and strengthen faith in every season. Major Topics Include: Generosity as surrender, not strategy Giving from revenue, not just profit Trusting God through financial risk Integrating faith and entrepreneurship Building generosity into business systems Community as catalyst for generous living Restoring dignity through local generosity Shifting from Western dependence to local ownership QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I realized that God wasn't poor in Romania. We as His people needed to learn generosity.” “If we didn't do something that extreme, we would never give.” “We didn't want to wait to tally up the profits to see if we were profitable enough to give.” “I would rather risk too much than too little when it comes to generosity.” “It's never a thing of how much you have. God can multiply the fish and the loaves.” “We all have everything we need to accomplish what God has called us to.” “Generosity in community is the next logical thing. Why wouldn't you want to give with others?” “Business people can be quite lonely, but community brings the joy back.” “Generosity restores dignity.” “When the Holy Spirit downloads His heart into yours, transformation takes place.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Generosity Path Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving Praxis (see our interview with Cofounder Josh Kwan) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Handful of Rice video Bishop Hannington video TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.  But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity.  Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step. If you've been inspired by these stories and want to take things to the next level, check out Applied Generosity anywhere you listen to podcasts or at appliedgenerosity.com.

Portland Book Festival has been a proud partner of the National Book Foundation Presents program for many years now, and at the 2025 festival we featured a program called “The Cost of Hope,” moderated by National Book Foundation executive director Ruth Dickey, and featuring 2024 National Book Award in Nonfiction winner Jason De Leon, author of Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, and 2025 National Book Award finalist in Fiction Megha Majumdar, author of A Guardian and a Thief. The intersections between Jason's book, in which he embeds with a group of smugglers moving migrants across Mexico over the course of seven years, and Megha's novel, about two families in a climate-ravaged near-future Kolkata, are abundant. In fact, the two authors share a background in anthropology, and talk about how that education has shaped the way they interpret the world. Their wide-ranging conversation starts with a discussion of how hope can be “snarling and aggressive,” and idea of hope as a refusal to back down. They also talk about the ways both of their stories connect climate change and migration, and how inescapable that connection is. In different ways; for Jason, through reporting, and for Megha, through fiction, both books are able to interrogate huge systems through the individual lives, making these incomprehensible forces in the world legible by finding the storytelling. This is a conversation between two artists thinking deeply about some of the most pressing issues of the day, and approaching them from places of care and, indeed, ultimately, from places of hope. Jason De León is professor of Anthropology and Chicana/o Studies and Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is also Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project, a 501(c)(3) research, arts, and education collective that seeks to raise awareness about migration issues globally while also assisting families of missing migrants reunite with their loved ones. He is a 2017 MacArthur Fellow and author of the award–winning books The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail and Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling, Winner of the 2024 National Book Award for Nonfiction. Megha Majumdar is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel A Burning, which was Longlisted for the National Book Award, nominated for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize, and a finalist for the American Library Association’s Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence. It was named one of the best books of the year by media including The Washington Post, the New York Times, NPR, The Atlantic, Vogue, and TIME Magazine. A 2022 Whiting Award winner, she was born and raised in Kolkata, India, and holds degrees in Anthropology from Harvard and Johns Hopkins. She is the former Editor-in-Chief of Catapult Books, and lives in New York. A Guardian and A Thief is her second novel. Ruth Dickey has spent 30 years working at the intersection of community building, writing, and art, and is the Executive Director of the National Book Foundation. The recipient of a Mayor's Arts Award from Washington DC, and a grant from the DC Commission and Arts and Humanities, Ruth is the author of Our Hollowness Sings (Unicorn Press, 2024), and Mud Blooms (Harbor Mountain Press, 2019), and an ardent fan of dogs and coffee.   CW: The podcast version of this episode is uncensored and contains strong language.

Mia Certic tells us in detail the successes, the , and everything in between.

When you’re the CEO or Executive Director of a company, you’re responsible for, well, everything. If the company does well, you’re a genius. If the company does poorly, you’re fired. Typically, the definition of business success is how much money a company makes. And that can be a function of market share. Both of my lunch guests today are executives of major New Orleans companies. Each of these companies has 100% market share. Yes, 100%. Meaning, everybody in New Orleans who uses the products they sell uses their products. One of the companies supplies water, and removes sewerage. It’s called The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans. At this point if you’re saying, “Wait up, that’s not actually a private company,” well, you’re kind of right. Kind of. What the sewerage and water board isn’t, is a simple city department, like you find in New York City, Chicago, and Houston. Neither is it a wholly private company contracted by the city, like in Los Angeles or Phoenix. Instead, it’s a hybrid. It’s largely controlled by city politicians – the Mayor automatically serves as the board president – but it operates independently. It is not meant to make a profit, but it has its own revenue separate from city departments, and contracts with for-profit companies to provide some services. In short, it’s a public utility that’s run like a political board but expected to perform like a professional infrastructure company. And sitting on top of this complicated setup is the Executive Director of the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, Randy Hayman. If your house or business is hooked up to gas, sometime in 2025 you stopped paying Entergy for it and started paying a company called Delta Utilities. Nobody asked you if you wanted to switch your gas supplier from Entergy to Delta, Entergy just decided to sell off its gas division and Delta Utilities was the company that bought it. Delta Utilities is what’s called a “regulated utility.” Its operations, rates, service quality, and infrastructure investments are regulated by the State. But it’s a private company. Delta Utilities is owned by a private equity firm – Bernhard Capital Partners. It’s set up to serve customers, and to make a profit for its owners. One of the people responsible for administering this complex structure is the Chief Administrative Officer of Delta Utilities, Jeremy Turner. If you live in New Orleans, you’re 100% certain to have a relationship with the Sewerage and Water Board. Even if you have a septic tank in your back yard and you get all your water from your own well, you’re still going to be dependent on the infrastructure that keeps the city’s streets – and your house – free of flood water. And if you don’t have gas at your house, you can be pretty sure your favorite restaurant does. So, one way or another, the Sewerage and Water Board and Delta Utilities are woven into fabric of the everyday life of every person here in New Orleans. In the immortal words of Leslie Neilsen in the movie Airplane, “Good luck. We're all counting on you.” In the movie, that was a running joke, delivered even as the plane was in severe danger of crashing. In New Orleans, we often feel like we’re on the brink of disaster, but unlike Airplane, it’s not a joke. We are, in fact, all counting on Jeremy and Ryan. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

International Women's Day 2026 Celebration This week on MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys International Women’s Day 2026 with a conversation that goes beyond celebration and dives into the real work still needed to achieve gender equality in Singapore. Our guest is Lim Shoon Yin, Executive Director of AWARE, the country’s leading women’s rights and gender‑equality organisation. Since 1985, AWARE has been at the forefront of identifying and dismantling the structural, cultural, and economic barriers that hold women back — from workplace discrimination and sexual harassment to the poverty experienced by older women and gaps in reproductive rights. Shoon Yin shares why these barriers persist, how they affect individuals of all genders, and why women continue to bear the brunt of them. We explore AWARE’s multi‑pronged approach: rigorous research and advocacy, education and corporate training through Catalyse, and direct support services via CARE, which provides counselling, legal advice, case management, and befriending for women in crisis. Shoon Yin also discusses the organisation’s ongoing work to shift public mindsets, strengthen laws, and build workplaces where everyone can thrive.

Our first storyteller is Rad Wilkins, who as a wildlife biologist embraced the title of “poop ologist” and carried a pungent, fermented concoction called “the brew” into the backcountry to entice grizzly bears. When the love of his life came to visit his remote camp, he had to quickly learn the true rules of bear country before a romantic proposal turned into a terrifying, close encounter in a story that he calls “Wild Proposals”. Rad Watkins is a lifelong nature lover and conservationist based in Missoula, Montana. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Missoula Conservation District, where he helps lead efforts to protect local streams, wildlife, and working lands. His career has taken him from the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest studying endangered seabirds, to Glacier National Park collecting grizzly bear DNA, to the Northwoods of Wisconsin tracking wolves and rehabbing bald eagles. Rad also loves personal development, and he's a certified life coach who does some leadership speaking and training. At home, he, his wife Gretchen, and their kids, Lena and Norris, enjoy doing what Montanans do best: floating rivers, skiing, hiking, and spending time outdoors with their dogs and horses. You can find Rad on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. In our next story, Bridget Feerick flies thousands of miles to Peru and connects with a mysterious, motorcycling solo traveler. With a language barrier, a gut feeling, and a wild invitation to ride with him to Canada, she must decide if taking a leap of faith is worth the risk of a true-life adventure. Bridget calls her story “My Gut Says WHAT!?…and it was Awesome!” Thanks for listening. Bridget Feerick started her journey on this planet being born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. She traveled the world before making her home in Missoula, Montana and has continued to explore this country and the world beyond. Her passion for the outdoors is matched by a deep commitment to community engagement and social justice. Bridget holds people in transitions using her intuitive powers as an organizer, cleaner, birth/postpartum/death doula, yoga instructor, herbalist, reiki and sound healing practitioner, and so on and so forth. Oh, and she likes to get weird whether it’s through her performance art pieces or just trying to be free in a world with too many boxes. She hopes to empower and inspire as many people as she can to tap into their own intuitive powers. Trying to escape the dark Missoula winter, a staycation house-sitting gig promises a hot tub and mountain views for Marc Moss, and instead, delivers freezing temperatures and the demanding care of a dog, a cat, and eleven chickens. What starts as a simple favor quickly turns into a crisis when a frantic call from Chile reveals an unfortunate fire and a scramble to rehouse the traumatized poultry. Marc calls his story “The Girls”. Marc Moss founded Tell Us Something in 2011 and lives with his life partner, Joyce, and their perpetual kitten, Ziggy on Missoula's historic Northside. While trekking deep into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to photograph the monumental Chinese Wall, Brian Christianson finally slows down to appreciate the remote mountain solitude with his partner. When a tiny movement catches their eye, they hold their breath for what could be the wildlife encounter of a lifetime. Brian calls his story “Ridge Lessons”. Brian Christianson's love for mountains began on the pages of books while growing up in Southern Minnesota. A family trip to Colorado at age 10 confirmed the future: mountains or bust. He proceeded to study photography and geography at the University of Colorado before moving to Montana in 2008. Brian works as a nature photographer with a curiosity for wilderness in Western Montana. He shares a life with his wife Linds and cat Roo.

March 17th is known to many as Saint Patrick's Day, but for Bostonians, it's also Evacuation Day. Centuries ago, during the buildup of the American Revolution, Boston was a city under siege. It took a drastic, strategic standoff by Patriot colonists at Dorchester Heights to send the British sailing off to Canada, and it all played out on what we now know as Evacuation Day. Jonathan Lane, Executive Director of Revolution 250 in Boston, joins the show to tell the dramatic story and share details of this year's commemoration in Dorchester. This segment is the seventh interview in our series "Revolutionary Roots", where we take a closer look at the stories, people, events, and local ties that connect New England to the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Topic: Career and Technical Education • Career Pathways • Workforce Readiness Today our guest is Brooke Martin, Executive Director of Career and Technical Education at Aldine ISD in Texas. We talk about why career and technical education (CTE) is becoming essential for helping students explore career pathways and workforce opportunities while still in high school. Brooke shares how industry certifications, work-based learning, and strong community partnerships allow students to gain real-world experience and make more informed decisions about their future. In this conversation, Brooke offers clear reminders for leaders working to expand career pathways and student engagement: Career and technical education gives students real-world experiences that help them explore career paths earlier. Industry certifications and work-based learning allow students to graduate with skills that translate directly into the workforce. Exposure to multiple career pathways helps students make more informed decisions about college, careers, and future opportunities. Hands-on learning increases student engagement by connecting classroom learning to real-life applications.

Humans evolved for face-to-face courtship in small communities, where attraction unfolded gradually and choices were limited. Today, we're navigating global dating markets, algorithms, AI recommendations, endless novelty, and constant rejection. So what happens when ancient mating psychology collides with modern technology? I am joined once again by Dr. Justin Garcia, evolutionary biologist and Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. He is the chief scientific advisor for Match, and author of the new book The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, And Why We Live and Die For Love. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How do dating apps shape our dopamine responses and bonding tendencies? Could AI actually improve mate selection, or is that better left to humans? Are changing relationship patterns a sign of human adaptability, or something else? Where might the future of sex, dating, and intimacy be headed? To learn more about Dr. Garcia, follow @drjustingarcia on the socials. Got a sex question?

What happens when your kids start asking hard questions about faith? Kent recently had a fascinating—and heartbreaking—Uber ride with a driver who grew up in a family of pastors but walked away from Christianity completely. His reason? He says every question he asked about faith growing up was shut down. That conversation got us thinking.   As dads, how we respond when our kids ask honest questions about God, the Bible, and faith might shape their spiritual trajectory for decades. Are we creating space for those questions, or accidentally pushing them away?   In this episode, we talk about: Why questions from your kids are actually a good sign The danger of shutting down honest curiosity about faith How Jesus modeled asking questions What to do when your kids ask something you don't know how to answer How to disciple your kids without pretending you have everything figured out   Your kids will ask hard questions someday. The real question is whether they'll feel comfortable bringing them to you, or if they'll go anywhere but their dad for guidance. While we never have complete control over our kids, we can create an environment that fosters communication and honesty.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.  

Mary welcomes Melissa Huray to the podcast to talk about true freedom in Christ. Melissa has dedicated the last 15 years to helping people with addictions find freedom through Jesus Christ. She is an Emmy award winning news reporter and anchor, and an addiction counselor with a Masters in Physiology. She is the Executive Director at the Lindell Recovery Network. Her books include Blackout to Blessing and Radical Freedom. She also hosts the Hope Report podcast. Today we look at her testimony of a dysfunctional family and the emptiness she felt as a youth. The deadly cost of gambling on alcohol’s temporary relief brought multiple arrests, harrowing car crashes, and many attempts to quit. She couldn’t save herself – but ultimately put her trust in the One who could set her free from all the pain. God has used her mightily and we talk about a God Who uses our darkest seasons to bring light to others.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Welcome to Episode 297 of Autism Parenting Secrets. Leah Wilson is an attorney, a mother, a foster parent, and the co-founder of Stand for Health Freedom. She has been on the front lines advocating for informed consent, parental rights, and health freedom, and she has lived this work personally through her own family and foster care experience. Leah is the co-author of Reclaim Vitality, a book that challenges the idea that health is something to manage or outsource.  Instead, it invites parents to step off the conventional path and reclaim the body's God-given ability to heal.  Her work does not simply critique the system.  It asks a deeper question: who does a parent need to become in order to lead their family well in a world that profits from confusion, fear, and dependence? The secret this week is…  Who You BECOME Matters More Than What You Try You'll Discover: Why Following Experts Can Feel Safe Until It Stops Working (4:21) How The Body Can Be Devitalized And Revitalized (9:02) The Three Principles Of Vitality And The Seven Virtues That Guide Decisions (10:46) Why Root Cause Thinking Still Misses The Point If Healing Is Interfered With (24:14) The Risks Of Whole Genome Sequencing And Predictive Medicine In Healthy Newborns (28:24) About Our Guest: Leah Wilson is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Stand for Health Freedom. An attorney with a background in complex litigation and advocacy, Leah has spent more than a decade working on child welfare and parental rights issues. Her work was shaped by firsthand experience in the foster care system, where she witnessed the widespread use of psychiatric medications as behavior management and the enforcement of one-size-fits-all medical mandates. These experiences led her to expand her advocacy beyond foster care and launch Stand for Health Freedom in 2019 to protect informed consent and parental rights nationwide. Leah is also an educator and sought-after speaker on holistic health, religious liberty, and family sovereignty, and is the co-author of Reclaim Vitality. https://standforhealthfreedom.com References In This Episode: Reclaim Vitality: A Guide to Exit Conventional Medicine and Live Naturally by Nick Wilson and Leah Wilson One Dream Podcast Additional Resources: To learn more about personalized 1:1 support go to www.elevatehowyounavigate.com Take The Quiz: What's YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?
