Review of Samuel T. Wilkinson, Purpose: What Evolution and Human Nature Imply About the Meaning of Our Existence (New York: Pegasus Books, 2024). 338 pages. $29.95 (hardback). Abstract: Many believers in God are troubled by assertions that the theory of evolution means life on earth is accidental and has no purpose. Additionally, some people worry that the theory's implied selfishness and “survival of the fittest” mantra have terrible implications for human society. Samuel T. Wilkinson's book Purpose is a thoughtful addition to the literature corroborating compatibility between creation by God and the theory of evolution. Evolution has a random component, but the critical selection step is non-random. Moreover, the process is iterative. As evidence for non-randomness, Wilkinson cites convergent evolution (where similar traits emerged in divergent organisms). Numerous examples suggest that natural selection has limited choices, not infinite or random possibilities as was once thought. Wilkinson discusses how human behavior and evolution imply that life has purpose. These purposes are compatible with teachings embraced by diverse believers in God. Behavioral studies strongly suggest human beings evolved to have both good and evil natures and to have ultimate happiness in loving family relationships. Such relationships build good lives and societies. Facilitating all of this, natural selection appears to occur at individual, kin, and group levels. When combined with the observation that we can freely choose, our dual nature suggests that this life is a test. For Wilkinson and others, harmony between faith in God and evolutionary theory came through epiphanies and by reasoning. These experiences increased their faith in God. Amid difficulties, persisting with faith is rewarded. The post Epiphanies and Reasonings: Compatibility between Evolutionary Biology and Divine Creation first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

In this episode, host Beth Cougler Blom talks with Nathy Ravez about making connections with participants—both early in our interactions with them and ongoing through the workshop—and why what happens before the workshop often matters just as much as what happens during it. Beth and Nathy explore simple, practical ways to build trust and collaboration from the very first moments, so people arrive feeling seen, included, and ready to work together. Beth and Nathy also talk about: Using short pre-workshop interviews to learn who's in the room Helping participants understand why they're there and what they bring Building trust even when there's tension, resistance, or hierarchy in the mix Choosing activities strategically to support collaboration, not just fun   Engage with Nathy Ravez: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathyravez/ Website: https://laworkshoppeuse.com/ Podcast: There's a Workshop For That!   Links From the Episode: EP 10 Facilitating Connection with Jan Keck EP 14 Connection Before Content with Chad Littlefield Said Saddouk on Linkedin EP 36 The State of Facilitation 2024 Report with Deborah Rim Moiso Learn about Jan Keck's upcoming book   Connect with the Facilitating on Purpose podcast: Follow Facilitating on Purpose on Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube Show notes available at facilitatingonpurpose.ca   Connect with Host Beth Cougler Blom: Give feedback or suggest upcoming show topics or guests at hello@bcblearning.com Visit bcblearning.com to explore Beth's company's services in facilitation and learning design Check out Beth's books, Design to Engage and Everyday Acts of Facilitation Follow Beth on Instagram or LinkedIn   Podcast production services by Mary Chan of Organized Sound Productions    

In this episode Victoria continues the exploration of leadership through the lens of the High Potential Trait Indicator (HPTI), building on the foundation laid in Part One.The conversation focuses on three critical leadership traits: Risk Approach, Ambiguity Acceptance, and Competitiveness — how they show up in individuals, teams, and organizations, and what happens when these strengths are overplayed. Through real-world examples, candid self-reflection, and DISC personality parallels, Victoria and Heather unpack how leaders navigate uncertainty, make decisions, manage conflict, and balance ambition with collaboration.The episode also introduces the concept of leadership derailers — the ways our greatest strengths can turn into liabilities when taken too far. By walking through common derailment patterns like perfectionism, aloofness, excessive caution, and passive resistance, listeners are invited into a practical and compassionate discussion about self-awareness and growth.This episode reinforces that leadership isn't about perfection or titles — it's about learning how to adapt, evolve, and lead effectively in everyday moments, both professionally and personally.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Facilitating opposing viewpoints: why more than one thing can be true00:00:32 – Welcome to Discovering You: Where Personality Meets Possibility00:01:00 – Mood check-in and DISC color conversation00:02:15 – Personal context and emotional awareness in leadership00:03:00 – DISC explained through a football analogy00:03:30 – Recap of HPTI and leadership traits from Part One00:04:00 – Trait #4: Risk Approach explained00:04:30 – High vs. low risk approach and DISC connections00:05:00 – Why risk approach matters in leadership00:05:30 – When high risk becomes a liability00:06:00 – How risk approach shows up in teams and groups00:07:00 – Personal reflections on risk tolerance and decision-making00:08:30 – Trait #5: Ambiguity Acceptance defined00:09:00 – Organizational culture and ambiguity tolerance00:09:30 – Leadership performance under uncertainty00:10:00 – The dangers of excessive ambiguity acceptance00:10:45 – Real-world facilitation examples and collaboration00:12:00 – Overplaying strengths and adaptability in business00:13:30 – Trait #6: Competitiveness explained00:14:15 – Healthy vs. unhealthy competitiveness in leadership00:15:00 – Individual and team dynamics around competition00:16:00 – Competing with others vs. competing with yourself00:18:45 – When competitiveness influences participation and motivation00:19:00 – Leadership derailment: when strengths become risks00:19:30 – Overview of the 10 common leadership derailers00:21:00 – Self-reflection: identifying personal derailment patterns00:22:30 – Perfectionism, excessive caution, and leadership awareness00:23:00 – Growth, coaching, and leadership beyond titles00:24:00 – Closing thoughts and how to learn moreIf you're interested in learning more about team building, coaching, strategic hiring and onboarding, let's connect!discoverwhatworks@gmail.com

The technology aims to speed up trial recruitment, increase diversity by reaching underserved populations, and ultimately shorten the drug development timeline. There is a particular focus on patients with no treatment options or who have not responded to current therapies. Vanessa explains, "We are all about patients. First and foremost, we want to help patients know their options. Patients who turn to us either have no treatment options for their conditions or have exhausted the treatment options. They are looking for alternatives and insights into whether we can help them find, for example, a clinical trial. Physicians who treat those patients turn to us."  "And last but not least, we work with biopharma companies that plan and conduct clinical trials and that sponsor expanded access programs. And those are our clients. So we connect all of those stakeholders. In addition, we work very closely with representative groups of patients and patient advocacy groups to make sure that we are known and to make sure that we understand what specific patient groups might need from companies like ours. So we kind of connect the dots, I guess, and an otherwise somewhat siloed system sometimes, and consider ourselves a platform player.

Since the mid-1900s, the nine-to-five work schedule has often been viewed as the standard. For many workers, this schedule has never worked. Parenting and other caregiving responsibilities, health challenges, the pursuit of education and skills, existing employment, and other factors mean many people do not have a lot of predictability and consistency in their availability. Some may only be able to work a few hours a week and may not know week to week when that can happen. And yet, many obviously need to work to get by and meet their basic needs. While app-based platforms have often been heralded for providing the flexibility workers in these situations need, these jobs have often perpetuated low wages and low job quality standards. In this event — hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program on January 21, 2026 — we explore how Workforce Investment Boards, labor unions, and businesses are adapting to this context and striving to ensure that those who need a flexible and adaptable work arrangement don't have to endure low quality jobs and low wages.Our speakers include Marcy Chong (Director, Service Employees International Union), Minsun Ji (Executive Director, Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center; Executive Director, Drivers Cooperative-Colorado), Wingham Rowan (Project Lead, Beyond Jobs), Nick Schultz (Consultant; Former Executive Director, Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Network), and moderator Matt Helmer (Director, Job Quality and Worker Well-Being, Economic Opportunities Program, The Aspen Institute).For more information about this event, including a transcript, speaker bios, and additional resources, visit our website.

Your body already knows how to release stress — but you've been taught to suppress it. In this Mind Architect episode, Dr. David Berceli, creator of TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises), reveals how our natural tremor mechanism can help us discharge tension, process trauma, and restore balance.Dr. David Berceli developed TRE while living in war zones, observing how humans naturally contract and release during threat. His method has now spread to over 80 countries. Joining him is Elvira Stanescu, an internationally certified TRE provider who has been practicing for nearly 5 years. Facilitating the conversation is our colleague Adrian Dinu. We explored the following topics in our conversation with David and Elvira: Why children shake naturally during stress — and why adults suppress itHow tremoring communicates between the nervous system and brainThe difference between exhausting yourself through exercise vs. actual releaseHow TRE can help parents, athletes, helping professionals, and couplesCurrent research on TRE and depression from studies in ChinaResources mentioned:Dr. David Berceli's book on TRE (now available in Romanian) David's website Romanian TRE Association TRE Global website Dr. David Berceli's YouTube Channel for research results and tutorialsFive ongoing research projects in China examining brain activity changes with TRE, including studies on depressed teenagers and their parentsYou can join us live during episode recordings and get your questions answered directly by becoming a Mind Architect Premium Member here Episode produced in partnership with Editura Herald."(00:00) Introduction: The body's hidden stress release mechanism""(01:50) Welcome and episode overview""(03:55) How Dr. Berceli discovered TRE in war zones""(06:30) The tremor mechanism in all mammals""(08:35) What happens in the body when we tremor""(12:01) How people experience tremoring in the beginning""(14:07) Tension vs. trauma: Why both matter""(17:09) The risk of overwhelm and how to self-regulate""(20:13) Dos and don'ts: How to start practicing TRE safely""(23:57) TRE vs. exhausting exercise: What's the difference?""(26:32) How the body takes over and releases patterns""(29:14) TRE for athletes and military personnel""(36:41) Cultural adaptations: China, Latin America, Romania""(44:50) TRE for helping professionals: Coaches, therapists, trainers""(50:13) How to integrate mind and body without forcing it""(54:30) TRE for parents and family systems""(01:00:00) The body's ability to heal specific injuries""(01:01:48) Collective trauma and healing in community""(01:11:50) The future: Vibration, sound, and medicine""(01:14:45) Resources and where to learn more"

The church and parents must work together for effective discipleship. God understands the challenges of parenting through His relationship with Jesus. There is no guaranteed formula for raising children in faith. Every family's approach to parenting is unique. Parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs, just like faith journeys. It's important to equip children for real-life challenges. Resources like 'Comfort in Uncertain Times' can benefit both parents and children. Spiritual growth is a lifelong journey for both parents and children. Parenting is not meant to be done in isolation. Thank you for listening today.

Todays episode explores the evolving relationship between facilitation and hosting, highlighting how both practices can create transformative spaces for individuals and communities. Peter Pula shares insights from years of cultivating community through participatory dialogue and generative journalism. The conversation delves into the distinctions between facilitation often structured and outcome driven and hosting, which embraces emergence, deep listening, and co-creation.   They talk about:  The difference between facilitation and hosting The use of time triads and deep listenting in group practice Learning from mistakes and adapting when things dont go as planned Moving from command-and-control to particpatory approaches Quote highlights "I feel like I am participating in the unfolding of human evolution and the evolution of community, and I don't know how that can do anything but make you smile." "And by naming the failure it becomes something else and it becomes… Something powerful… "  "Before it was a passion. Now it feels like an essential work."

You don't need to know everything in order to begin. Today's episode offers a window into the inner shifts that happen when practitioners stop leading with expertise alone and start leading with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn.Drawing from several years of working alongside Indigenous organizations, Melissa reflects on how Indigenous teachings, community partnerships, and her graduate studies in adult education have threaded together to reshape her approach to learning and program design. She explores the transformative impact of Two-Eyed Seeing, a Mi'kmaq guiding principle that invites us to hold Indigenous and Western ways of knowing together, for the benefit of all. Key Topics:✨ Why Land Acknowledgments MatterNot as scripted statements, but as invitations to recognize place, history, responsibility, and relational learning.✨ Cultural Humility as a Practice - Not a DestinationMelissa shares moments of discomfort, vulnerability, and the learning that unfolded when she stepped into Indigenous programming not as an expert, but as a guest.✨ Facilitating based on Community, not ContentHow the programs you've created in the past can continue to evolve toward a more culturally responsive, community-led approach.✨ Two-Eyed Seeing (Etuaptmumk)How this Indigenous teaching has become a central lens in Melissa's practice, shaping how she blends Western research, community voice, and Indigenous knowledge into her work.Join the Conversation

Led by Ethan Hsieh, John Vervaeke and Taylor Barratt, The Lectern is partnering with 5ToMidnight to offer a long form hybrid (online/in-person) practice program called TIAMAT-X. This program brings a full ecology of practices, endorsed by The Vervaeke Foundation to help you develop the capacity to… perceive what matters regulate in real time and act with clarity …through a cohesive method that weaves together mindful dialogue, embodiment, imaginal practice, and disciplined mindfulness. Learn more about the program here: https://www.5tomidnight.org/offerings/tiamat-x https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/courses/tiamat-x In part two of the Lectern Dialogues series, Ethan introduces two ex-participants, now facilitators-in-training, Rens and Ellie, as the discussion continues on how to bring virtuosity to virtue and transform philosophical understanding into a way of life. The focus is on Ethan's TIAMAT process, a three-tiered pedagogical approach integrating performance and cognitive science into living practices. The conversation dives into the importance of overcoming habitual thought patterns, unlocking agency, and the participatory nature of this transformative work. Through shared experiences and reflections, they contrast the program's approach to that of traditional therapy, emphasizing complexification, relational ontology, and distributed trust and empowerment. The episode illustrates the depth and communal aspects of Tier 2 of TIAMAT and its impact on personal growth and relationships. Ethan Hsieh Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of the TIAMAT process—a three-tiered developmental framework—he integrates insights from performance practice, cognitive science, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life.

Sara Di Gregorio: Facilitating Deeper Retrospectives—When to Step In and When to Step Back Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "When they start connecting and having an interesting discussion, I go to the corner, and I'm only trying to listen." - Sara Di Gregorio   Sara faces a challenge that many Scrum Masters encounter: teams that want to discuss too many topics during retrospectives without going deep on any of them. The team had plenty to talk about, but conversations stayed surface-level, never reaching the insights that drive real improvement. Sara recognized that the aim of the retrospective isn't to talk about everything—it's to go deeper on topics the team genuinely cares about.  So she started coaching teams to select just three main topics they wanted to discuss, helping them understand why prioritization matters and making explicit which topics are most important. But her real skill emerged in how she facilitated the discussions. When she saw communication starting to flow and team members becoming deeply connected to the topic, she moved to the corner and listened. She didn't abandon the team—she remained present, ready to help shy or quiet members speak up, watching the clock to respect timeboxes.  But she understood that when teams connect authentically, the Scrum Master's job is to create space, not fill it. Sara learned to ask better questions too. Instead of repeatedly asking "Why? Why? Why?"—which can feel accusatory—she reformulated: "How did you approach it? What happens?" When teams started blaming other teams, she redirected: "What can we influence? What can we do from our side?" She used visual tools like white paper, sharpies, and sticky notes to help teams visualize their discussion steps and create structured moments for questions.  Sometimes, when teams discussed complex technical topics beyond her understanding, she empowered them: "You are the main expert of this topic. Please, when someone sees that we're going out of topic or getting too detailed, raise your hand and help me bring the communication back to what we've chosen to talk about."  This balance—knowing when to step in with structure and when to step back and listen—is what transforms retrospectives from checkbox events into genuine opportunities for team growth.   Self-reflection Question: In your facilitation, are you creating space for deep team connection, or are you inadvertently filling the space that teams need to discover insights for themselves?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Professional Learning Communities don't automatically produce collaboration or impact. They often require skilled facilitation to keep the focus on high quality learning for all students and teachers. A facilitator provides the structure, prompts, and emotional conditions that help members engage deeply, share openly, and turn reflection into meaningful next steps. How can facilitators plan for the beginning, middle, and end of PLC sessions? Listen to the podcast on PLCs at Work with Mike Mattos and Anthony Muhammed here.

The joy of "being known here" is not just for the students. When a faculty cultivates friendship, it benefits the entire school community.

Retrospectives are one of the most powerful opportunities a team has to improve. Yet far too often, they're skipped because “we don't have time,” rushed through as an afterthought, or treated as a dull box-checking exercise.  Even worse, sometimes they turn into blame sessions that leave people feeling drained rather than energized.It doesn't have to be that way.  A well-facilitated retrospective can be the most valuable hour of your team's sprint: the time where psychological safety is built, lessons are learned, and real change begins.  With the right approach, retrospectives become not just meetings, but moments of growth, trust, and innovation.

When we talk about the Violet Flame or transmutation of energy we are also talking about the loving energy of St. Germain. The Ascended Master Saint Germain, the Chohan of the seventh ray of freedom, mercy, transmutation, and ritual.  ALL rays and energy come from a source, but Saint Germain's mission is to teach seekers the science of divine alchemy and transmutation. Shifting energy from one form to another. CHANGE. He is said to sponsor all in transition and transformation, which is much of the world right now.  He is a master alchemist of the sacred fire who comes bearing the gift of the violet flame of freedom for world transmutation.Together with his twin flame, the ascended lady master Portia, the Goddess of Justice, he is the hierarch of the Aquarian age. He is the great sponsor of freedom's flame, while Portia is the sponsor of the flame of justice and opportunity. The name Saint Germain comes from the Latin Sanctus Germanus, meaning simply "Holy Brother."   As Chohan, or lord, of the seventh ray, Saint Germain initiates our souls in the science and ritual of transmutation through the violet flame. Saint Germain and Portia deliver to the people of God the dispensation for the seventh age and the seventh ray—the violet ray of freedom, justice, mercy, alchemy, and sacred ritual—a new life wave, a new civilization, a new energy.Diplomats, priests of the sacred fire, actors, writers, and defenders of freedom serve with Saint Germain on the seventh ray.What is the impact of this 7th ray and how do we as humans facilitate this Noble Rite of the Violet Flame.  Listen as Laurie shares the power of activation of the 7th ray and its importance during this time of change and transformation. Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening - For questions or comments email Laurie at Laurie@yourlifecore.comInstagram @yourlifecore or Twitter @yourlifecore Facebook https://www.facebook.com/YourLifecoreWebsite www.yourlifecore.com

In 2017 and 2018 I was one of the first in Southern California to receive grant funding from the state of California to implement holistic healing art programs in clinical populations. I was able to put in programming at women's shelters, veterans legions, low income schools, and recovery centers. This work was a pivotal moment where breathwork, Sound healing, and meditation practices were just seeing their ways into a non-aesthetic wellness space. And when I founded The Healing Arts Academy, often referred to as the graduate school for healing arts by my students
