Mark Steiner built GigSalad (www.gigsalad.com/blog/meet-the-ceo-of-gigsalad) from zero to booking millions of events. But the real story isn't the  hustle. It's what he saw his omnipotential underneath the noise of a mind that just works differently. And most importantly how Mark found peace inside chaos, why "hard" is just thought, and the mindset shift that made business easier.

Paul encouraged the Christians in Corinth by writing, "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) In this series, we will be exploring how each of us are gifted to serve in God's kingdom. We will reflect on spiritual gifts. How do spiritual gifts enable us to join in the work of the Holy Spirit in the world? Guided by the two motifs: Prophet, Priest, and King and the 5-Fold Ministry Paul details in his letter to the Ephesians, we are invited to consider what spiritual gifts we identify with and how those gifts influence the way we join with the Spirit's kingdom work in the world today. This week, Rebecca Moss invites to consider Ephesians 4:7-16 and the ways in whch God gives us as gifts to one another.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Colleen gets honest about what it's really like to homeschool multiple neurotypes at once—and how you can stop trying to make one-size-fits-all solutions work for wildly different brains. She talks about building flexible rhythms that respect your children's unique needs (and your sanity!), why chasing the "perfect" curriculum isn't the answer, and practical ways you can manage energy instead of just managing lesson plans. Key Takeaways Ditch One-Size-Fits-All: Stop trying to teach every child the same way—build flexible rhythms that honor each brain's unique needs. Focus on Energy, Not Just Curriculum: Prioritize managing everyone's energy and support needs over finding the "perfect" curriculum. Rotate, Station, Solo: Structure your day with rotating support, creative stations, and independent solo work to keep kids engaged and supported. Fair Isn't Equal: Remember that fairness means giving each child what they need, not making everything the same for everyone. Adapt as You Go: Stay flexible—needs change daily and seasonally, so keep mixing, matching, and pulling from your toolbox of strategies Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

What if overthinking is not a flaw? What if it is just your gifted brain doing exactly what it was built to do? In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen reframes the words we have been using against ourselves for years. She gets honest about what really happens when gifted and neurodivergent people suppress how their minds work, breaks down the real causes of overwhelm, and offers a grounded, compassionate path toward channeling a powerful brain instead of apologizing for it.

Every Christian lives by faith every day. Like a muscle, faith grows stronger when you exercise it—and it weakens when you default to self-reliance. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that while all believers must walk by faith to mature in Christ, some are also given a distinct gift of faith by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit-gifted faith is marked by a remarkable steadiness: it views God's purposes as if they are already accomplished. Dr. Youssef points to biblical examples: Joseph held onto a God-given dream through betrayal, slavery, false accusation, and years in prison—because the dream was God's, not his own. Moses persevered through Pharaoh's hardened refusals, trusting that God would deliver His people exactly as promised. Nehemiah kept building despite opposition, intimidation, and doubt—because he believed God had called him to the work. Not everyone will live the “headline” kind of life these men did—but God still gives the gift of faith to believers today, and their confidence becomes fuel for others to keep going. If you're facing opposition, delays, or obstacles, this devotional will encourage you to keep exercising faith—and to thank God for those whose Spirit-given faith helps the Church press forward in victory. Prayer: God, help me to discern Your will for my life and to walk by faith every day. May I grow in faith as I trust Your Word, leaning not on my own understanding. Spirit, grow the spiritual fruit of faith in my life as I fix my eyes on Christ, my Savior. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “[I]f you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

Tyler Anbinder examines the remarkable industrial success of Phelan and Collender, who mass-produced high-quality billiard tables. Their innovation in table cushions led to a dominant market position, and they famously gifted a custom gold-ornamented table to Ulysses S. Grant. Their massive factory on 10th Avenue symbolized the pinnacle of Irishentrepreneurial achievement. Anbinder concludes by debunking the myth that the famine Irish were permanently stuck in poverty. His research reveals they were a highly ambitious and determined group who successfully utilized networking and grit to climb the socioeconomic ladder in the United States. (8)1861 CHURCH STREET

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Katharine Gates, a writer, artist, and long-time creative who identified as Autistic and ADHD after a lifetime of questioning herself.Katharine shares how she spent decades feeling like the “odd one out” — academically gifted, outwardly successful, yet constantly struggling with everyday life, relationships, and a persistent sense that something didn't quite fit.After 40 years of therapy, misdiagnoses, and searching for answers, it was a period of Autistic burnout that finally led her to recognise her neurodivergence and begin to reframe her life.This is a conversation about being misunderstood for decades — and what changes when you finally understand yourself.

We begin to discuss the necessary elements of systemic change, human connection, and understanding marginalized experiences to create healthier, more sustainable environments.Key Topics:The different manifestations of burnout: quiet quitting, crashing, imploding, and implodingMaslach's burnout framework: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced efficacyThe systemic nature of burnout and the importance of designing better systemsNeurodivergence and neurotypicality: evolving definitions and social implicationsThe conflation of speed and intelligence, and misconceptions about neurodivergenceImpact of masking, code switching, and fear of visibility among marginalized communitiesUnique challenges faced by BIPOC and marginalized individuals regarding surveillance, invisibility, and extra responsibilitiesThe influence of organizational culture, soft skills investment, and leadership alignmentDecision fatigue in schools: the high volume of daily judgments by teachers and staffThe "Canary Code" analogy for identifying early signs of systemic distressThe importance of human connection and authenticity in overcoming systemic oppressionConsequences of neglecting systemic issues: attrition, reduced quality, and perpetuation of inequityStay in Contact with Dr. Derek Porter:Connect with him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-porter/Check out his work on Linktree: https://linktr.ee/drderekporterEmail him at drderekporter@gmail.comResources and Links:Maslach Burnout Inventory — Framework for understanding burnoutThe Canary Code — Book illustrating early warning signs in systemsCarol Dweck's work on Grit — Understanding resilience and perseverance in the context of burnout and systemicsHelpful Links:Hire me to speak or as your personal gifted or neurodivergent discovery coach!: https://sheldongayisbugn.comFree list of Therapists for Melanated and Marginalized Groups: https://sheldongayisbugn.com/#resourcesFree GroupMe Community for Talented and Gifted adults: https://groupme.com/join_group/108040800/igLaxqNGND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people: ndconnect.appUmbrella ND - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy: https://umbrellaopensdoors.org/resourcesKeywordsburnout, neurodivergence, employee engagement, mental health, workplace culture, self-care, collective care, emotional well-being, productivity, systems design burnout culture, human connection, education challenges, decision fatigue, BIPOC educators, community needs, teacher retention, wellness days, equity and inclusion, systemic issues education, teacher shortages, student experience, teacher burnout, gender dynamics, neurodivergence, classroom strategies, confidence building, inclusive education, educational solutionsdfdIntro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "Understand" from the album Nevermore Hosted on Acast.

When highly capable children spend years cruising through an educational system where academic rigor is geared toward the average, they fail to develop the neurological muscles required to process difficulty. This week, we present an encore chat with Dr. Brian Housand, coordinator of the academically or intellectually gifted program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and Andi McNair, a gifted education author and digital innovation specialist. They discuss how burnout can be a result of long-term exposure to unrealistic expectations and a profound fear of failure, and how it can also manifest in a sort of imposter phenomenon among high-ability learners. They explain why teachers and parents should resist the urge to rescue high-ability kids from cognitive discomfort, instead allowing space for productive struggle. TAKEAWAYS Equating intelligence with "quick and easy" creates a highly fragile academic identity that collapses the moment a learner encounters an authentic cognitive challenge. The feeling of ineffectiveness that comes with burnout often stems from an internalized need for external validation. Depriving high-ability students of productive struggle prevents them from building coping mechanisms and adaptive emotional resilience. High-ability learners sometimes experience a profound sense of isolation, which can be minimized by structuring shared spaces to foster a sense of universality. Gifted burnout in adults sometimes signals an unidentified twice-exceptional presentation, where early compensation strategies have finally been overwhelmed by adult executive demands. Perfectionism can be difficult to identify in therapy, and once identified, still very difficult to overcome. If you're a mental health professional, join us for Overcoming Perfectionism in Therapy: Supporting Neurodivergent Clients Who Keep Moving the Finish Line.

Throughout the New Testament, we see a church that is empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened through the ministry of spiritual gifts. These gifts were never intended to be confusing, divisive, or pushed to the margins of church life. They were given by God to build up His people, reveal Jesus, and help the church fulfill its mission in the world. This weekend, we'll explore what it means to be a spiritually-gifted church, the vision God has for His people, and why this matters for Northwest Church.

What if the missing piece in your ministry isn't another plan, budget, or campaign, but a fierce commitment to unity? We invited Pastor Richie Johnson to walk us through a simple but disruptive claim drawn from John 17: when the church becomes one—truly one—the world believes, miracles multiply, and provision meets vision.We trace a living-room church plant that grew from four people to a vibrant congregation renovating a 53,000-square-foot former hospital. Along the way, doors opened in ways no spreadsheet could predict: a medically deaf woman was healed within seconds, a sign language ministry formed, weekly baptisms and Spirit infillings became normal, and a local construction owner—prompted by a conviction he couldn't shake—stepped in to lead a multi-million-dollar renovation. These stories are not hype; they are the fruit of a unified body aligned with the Spirit's purpose.We dig into practical takeaways: how to pray prayers only God can answer, how to diagnose whether your intercession has the aroma of unity, and how humility unlocks collaboration that outlives personalities and preferences. We connect insights from historic and global revivals—Azusa Street, Ethiopia, Thailand—to one clear pattern: unified prayer, unified purpose, unified labor. We also spotlight Richie's new resource, Gifted for More: A Practical Approach to Spiritual Gifts, and why gifts flourish when they are synchronized rather than siloed.If you're hungry for sustainable revival—salvation in your city, healing that serves the community, provision that outruns budgets—start where Jesus starts: become one. Listen, share with your team, and take one actionable step toward repairing relationships and aligning your prayers with God's mission. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it along to someone who needs fresh courage for unity and revival.We love to hear from our listeners!

Did you know that if you're a follower of Jesus, God has uniquely gifted YOU to make a difference?

May 24, 2026 2000 years ago, the ascended Christ, poured out the Holy Spirit upon the church, empowering his people to proclaim the Gospel through all the ages.  Every believer has been given a spiritual gift to use for the Church as the body of Christ. Scripture: Acts 2 & 1 Corinthians 12:3-26

In this episode, Jed welcomes two wonderful guests who are using story to build kids' hearts and minds. First, Allie Slocom joins us from Colorado to celebrate her middle grade novel Is There Hope for Theodore Cope. Theo is an 11‑year‑old aspiring magician who's also neurodiverse and gifted. He's brilliant at math, reading, basketball, dog walking, and magic tricks—but struggles with executive functioning. Allie explains that Theo isn't irresponsible; he simply hasn't yet developed the skills to manage his time, commitments, and big "yes" energy. Drawing on her work as a gifted education teacher, Allie talks about the importance of helping kids practice executive function through games and real-life experiences. She shares how her Character Club—an after‑school group she ran in her home—grew into an entire book series focused on traits like responsibility, compassion, integrity, and forgiveness, with historical vignettes featuring figures such as Ernest Shackleton and Clara Barton. Next, Jed heads to New Jersey to chat with Nicole Smith‑Schultz, school librarian and author of the picture book My Baby Doll. Inspired by her own daughter, Nicole's book beautifully mirrors getting a beloved baby doll as a child with becoming a mom for the first time. She reflects on the joy and surprise of motherhood, the innocence of play, and the powerful ways kids imitate the care they receive. Nicole also shares her passion for librarianship, media literacy, and making sure every child finds a book they truly love—while advocating for the vital role of school librarians in our communities.

Episode IntroIf you went to elementary school in the 70s, 80s or 90s, do you remember being tested by a stranger, or group of strangers? Ever get pulled out for a special class with others from different grades? Made to drink something pink? For whatever reason, right now many are remembering details of GATE programs. But who was behind these school programs? And what was their purpose? Intro to GATE MemoriesLet your mind drift back, back, back to those innocent days of youth. Picture the elementary school you attended. The teacher. Your friends. Recess. Did you play kickball? Or hopscotch? Or jump rope? Imagine your desk. Did it have that front load opening with a special well to hold your pencils? How about the pencil sharpener? Was it mounted to your teacher's desk at the front of the room? How did the classroom smell? Remember other details? Like Pirate paste that smelled like wintergreen. That ripe scent of bodies when the weather turned warm and all of your class was reassembled on the rug sitting criss-cross applesauce?I mention all this as precursor, because only you know what it felt like to live during those years. If you need to, pause this episode and write down your strongest recollections. I'm sure I missed lots. Like school lunches, did you bring your own in a sack or fancy lunchbox? Or did you turn in a paper ticket and receive a hot lunch in the cafeteria? What about the school library? Or gym? Any art projects you remember doing? And art supplies? What about those special classroom jobs? My teachers had a rotation that changed week to week. Write down what you like. Make sure your thorough because we are going deeper in a second.Did you ever have a stranger in a suit or more than one come into your classroom to observe? Did the teacher explain that they were from a college in the area? Did they bring with them an oversized case with latches and a handle, and inside was equipment that included knobs and dials? Were you sent one by one to the back of the room and told to put on large headphones that plugged into the case? Asked to identify tones? I said, inside the classroom, but I remember a trailer, one of those mobile trailers, or portables, that they needed when schools outgrew the number of neighborhood kids. Some people recall tanagrams, colorful shapes you'd manipulate to form larger shapes, like boats and such. Others remember cards, some say they were black and white, others remember colors with scenes on them. Slipped into envelopes, the tester encouraged children to visualize what was inside the envelope. Visualize. Visualize. Visualize. There were other tests, too. Weeks afterwards parents of a few kids might be notified that their child was going into the GATE program. GATE stands for Gifted and Talented Education, by the way. These programs were spun differently across the United States, but the letter home often used the word, "gifted" or "talented." Even the program itself had a different name depending on the school district. TAG, LEAP, Extended Learning Program, or in Richland, Washington - across from the Hanford Nuclear Reactor, they called their program ALPHA. These were pull-out programs that met weekly, sometimes with more than one grade combined together. And in our school, Mark Twain Elementary (because by that time I'd moved to Pasco) and those kids were bussed in from schools across the district and convened in a portable beside the basketball courts. What did they do in those GATE classes?Well, that's complicated. For many participants, the details remain hazy, at best. Some suffer memory loss about the entire program, while others in recent months, saw one of those black and white cards, or a photo of those clunky testing headphones, which rattled loose a few recollections.

This week, we're diving into a challenge many homeschooling families face—especially those parenting gifted, twice-exceptional, or otherwise neurodivergent kids: boredom. If you've ever heard, "I'm bored!" and wondered how to respond, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you beat boredom without resorting to endless busy work. Key Takeaways Novelty doesn't require elaborate setups. Simple tweaks—like changing writing tools, switching locations, or adding a movement element—can wake up the brain. Choice and autonomy matter. Let your child decide between two options or how they'll demonstrate what they've learned. Find the "just right" challenge. Work that's too easy leads to boredom; too hard brings overwhelm. Learn how to dial up (or down) the challenge for each unique learner.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

In this episode, we dive deeper into the topic of motivating our kids, especially when traditional schoolwork leads to resistance or meltdowns. Building on last week's discussion about motivation versus executive dysfunction, this week's episode explores the power of project-based and interest-led learning—especially for neurodivergent kids. From transforming a love of Minecraft or Pokémon into meaningful educational experiences, to finding the right balance between leveraging special interests and avoiding burnout, we unpack practical strategies to engage children in their education. Find out why interests are often the doorway to deep learning, discover the four-step project pathway framework, and gain confidence to embrace creative, child-focused educational approaches—while addressing common parental concerns about gaps, screens, and specialization. Whether you're homeschooling or simply looking to inspire lifelong learning in your child, this episode is packed with encouragement and actionable tips to help every learner thrive. Key Takeaways Harness Special Interests: Use your child's passions—like Minecraft, Pokémon, or theater—as the starting point for deeper learning and engagement. Build Sideways, Not Away: Expand on what excites your child by connecting related skills and subjects, rather than forcing a hard turn to traditional academics. Project Power: Anchor learning in real-life projects, from creating Minecraft cities to designing bug field guides, making skills and knowledge truly stick. Honor Depth and Autonomy: Let your child dive deep into what they love and give them a say in how they learn; this fosters motivation, connection, and persistence. Gaps Are OK: Every learning path has gaps—focus on teaching kids how to find answers, build confidence, and adapt to an ever-changing world.
