In this episode of A Meaningful Mess, we'll explore the complexities of gifted learners, emphasizing that giftedness is not synonymous with academic achievement or compliance. The conversation explores the misconceptions surrounding giftedness, the importance of recognizing deep thinking, and the need for educational systems to adapt in order to support all learners effectively. In this episode, I advocate for a shift in perspective, urging educators to focus on the quality of thought rather than mere performance metrics, and to create environments where gifted learners can thrive.

Ben Johnson played his starters in the last regular season game in an effort to clinch the number two seed in the NFC playoffs and enter the postseason on a winning note. Unfortunately, Ben was upset with the lackluster offense and fans were critical of a defense that allowed 433 yards of offense. Fortunately, the Eagles lost their game and the Bears backed into the second seed. It's Bears and Packers at Soldier Field in the wildcard round. Greg Gabriel reviews the Bears loss and previews the playoffs. 

Send us a textA boy who reads at three and crushes tests at five should be unstoppable, right? Neil Henderson's story bends that assumption until it snaps. We follow a brilliant kid raised amid family rupture who rockets past classmates, dazzles teachers, and learns a dangerous lesson: results without effort feel the same as results with it. That belief shadows every choice he makes as freedom expands faster than discipline.With mentor Weldon Slayton offering rare structure, Neil thrives on advanced work and intellectual play. Then a new world opens at a top science and math boarding school—games, first love, and the heady thrill of finding a tribe. Instead of sharpening his focus, the freedom feeds his appetite for novelty. Grades slip, probation follows, and he returns home determined to own his reputation. In a cluttered basement strung with posters and trophies, he shapes a persona that is equal parts prodigy and provocateur.What begins as a shy crush from Kenyatta turns into a secret, high-stakes romance—bikes hidden in the woods, locked doors, and a furious discovery that ripples through both families. Neil cycles between charm and cold logic, arguing that feelings and actions can be neatly separated. Around the table, his Dungeons and Dragons strategies grow sharper and darker: less questing, more scheming; less teamwork, more control. Friends notice they're being played. The patterns of the game echo in life—manipulation over trust, quick wins over earned growth.This chapter of the Von Stein family tragedy examines how intelligence without guardrails can curdle into power-seeking. We explore gifted education's blind spots, the lure of role-playing as social currency, and the moral drift that follows when accountability never keeps pace with ability. If you've ever wondered how a promising mind can become its own worst teacher, this story offers a gripping, uneasy answer.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what moment hit you hardest?

Full Text of Readings The Saint of the day is Saint John Neumann Saint John Neumann's Story Perhaps because the United States got a later start in the history of the world, it has relatively few canonized saints, but their number is increasing. Saint John Neumann was born in what is now the Czech Republic. After studying in Prague, he came to New York at 25 and was ordained a priest. He did missionary work in New York until he was 29, when he joined the Redemptorists and became its first member to profess vows in the United States. He continued missionary work in Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, where he became popular with the Germans. At 41, as bishop of Philadelphia, he organized the parochial school system into a diocesan one, increasing the number of pupils almost twentyfold within a short time. Gifted with outstanding organizing ability, he drew into the city many teaching communities of sisters and the Christian Brothers. During his brief assignment as vice provincial for the Redemptorists, he placed them in the forefront of the parochial movement. Well-known for his holiness and learning, spiritual writing and preaching, on October 13, 1963, Saint John Neumann became the first American bishop to be beatified. Canonized in 1977, he is buried in St. Peter the Apostle Church in Philadelphia. Reflection Neumann took seriously our Lord's words, “Go and teach all nations.” From Christ he received his instructions and the power to carry them out. For Christ does not give a mission without supplying the means to accomplish it. The Father's gift in Christ to John Neumann was his exceptional organizing ability, which he used to spread the Good News. Today the Church is in dire need of men and women to continue in our times the teaching of the Good News. The obstacles and inconveniences are real and costly. Yet when Christians approach Christ, he supplies the necessary talents to answer today's needs. The Spirit of Christ continues his work through the instrumentality of generous Christians.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

After accomplished stints as a journalist, author and diplomat, and studying theology at Yale Divinity School, Krista Tippett was struck by a significant gap in the media landscape—a lack of deep, intelligent conversations to explore the spiritual, ethical and moral aspects of human life. What began as a national public radio show in 2003 evolved into the multiple award-winning podcast “⁠On Being⁠” (“wisdom to replenish and orient in a tender, tumultuous time to be alive.”) Gifted with insatiable curiosity, profound relational intelligence, a poetic sensibility, and an ability to unearth revelatory ideas to live by, Krista creates spaces where wisdom can emerge. With her interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral whole systems overview, she's hosted luminaries as disparate as Mary Oliver, Thich Nhat Hahn, Isabel Wilkerson and Desmond Tutu, among many more. Listen to this rare intimate, live interview with her friend, insightful strategist, philanthropist and activist Azita Ardakani.

Gifted Is Not the Same as Grounded is a lesson for those who carry calling, influence, and responsibility and understand that anointing alone is not enough. In this apostolic teaching space, Dr. Delisa Rodgers addresses a truth many leaders learn too late: spiritual gifts are given by grace, but spiritual grounding is built through obedience, character, and intimacy with God. Scripture reminds us that “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Romans 11:29), yet Jesus Himself warned that power can operate without depth (Matthew 7:22–23). This lesson confronts the gap between ability and maturity, movement and formation, anointing and anchoring. Through biblical teaching, apostolic insight, and sober leadership wisdom, listeners are challenged to examine not just what they can do for God, but what their foundation can sustain. Dr. Delisa calls leaders back to being “rooted and grounded” (Ephesians 3:17), built on the Rock and not the applause, bearing fruit that lasts beyond seasons of visibility (Galatians 5:22–23). This lesson is for: Leaders who want longevity, not burnout Apostolic voices who value character as much as calling Gifted believers who are ready to become grounded stewards Those building ministries, movements, and lives that must endure storms Because in the Kingdom, gifts may open doors, but grounding determines whether you remain. “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)

Ludwig van Beethoven is one of the most celebrated musicians in history. Nearly two centuries after his death in 1827, his compositions are still among the most performed pieces. His talent has been widely heralded, and he’s often described as a virtuoso. A study of Beethoven’s DNA, however, indicates he may not have been born with some of his abilities—as we might assume. When his genes were compared to those of 14,500 other people who’d shown an ability to keep rhythm (merely one aspect of musical talent), Beethoven ranked surprisingly low. Beethoven also had ample opportunity and exposure to music (which developed the genetic aptitude he did have). Yet neither talent nor opportunity fully account for God’s role in endowing us with the abilities we have. Our Creator equipped two men, Bezalel and Oholiab, with specific skills to be used in building the tabernacle. God filled Bezalel “with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs” and appointed Oholiab “to help him” (Exodus 31:3-6). God gave “ability to all the skilled workers to make everything [He] commanded]” (v. 6). Few of us will work on projects as significant as God’s tabernacle. And our abilities may never be recorded in history’s annals. Yet God has equipped us with the skills, aptitudes, and experiences He wants us to share with the world. May we serve Him faithfully, in His strength and for His glory.

Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Gwinnett leaders update lawmakers on voting site challenges, public safety efforts Gwinnett County is cutting polling locations—down from 156 to 144—and the reason? Insurance headaches. Churches and private organizations, once reliable voting sites, are pulling out, according to Elections Supervisor Zach Manifold. Manifold shared the news during a meeting with Gwinnett’s state lawmakers, where elections and public safety took center stage. Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson emphasized collaboration: “When local and state leaders work together, we serve our residents better.” On the safety side, Police Chief J.D.

STORY 2: Brookwood High selected to participate in the GaDOE Gifted in Action series Brookwood High just got a big nod from the Georgia Department of Education—it’s been featured in the GaDOE Gifted in Action series, a webinar collection for educators working with gifted and talented students. Eric Rovie’s AP Literature and Language classes were in the spotlight, with the GaDOE team recording his students in action. Rovie’s approach? Open discussions, tough questions, and a classroom built on trust. Gifted education isn’t just about acceleration, says Dr. Keena Ryals-Jenkins of GCPS—it’s about sparking curiosity and pushing boundaries. STORY 3: Gwinnett Chamber announces 2025 Business Excellence Award winners The Gwinnett Chamber’s Business Excellence Awards lit up the John Maxwell Leadership Center last week, celebrating the movers, shakers, and innovators shaping Gwinnett’s business scene. Nick Masino, Chamber President & CEO, kicked things off, followed by keynote speaker Darryll Stinson—a TEDx speaker and leadership guru—who delivered a heartfelt, no-fluff message about trust, growth, and greatness. “It’s about elevating results,” he said, leaving the room buzzing. Masino summed it up: “When our businesses thrive, so does our region.” Winners spanned 10 categories, from Spectrum Autism Support Group (Community Contributor) to iS3 Tech Services’ Adam Hammock (Founder Award). A night of well-earned applause. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Gwinnett road closures Dec. 13-19 Heads up, Gwinnett drivers—here’s what’s happening on the roads this week (Dec. 13–19). Expect closures, detours, and delays, all courtesy of construction, utility work, and improvements. Big ones to note: **Ballpark Lane** is closed through April 2026. Detours are in place, but, yeah, plan extra time. Other spots with intermittent lane closures include **Beaver Ruin Road**, **Sugarloaf Parkway**, and **Rockbridge Road**—plus about 30 more. For details or detour routes, contact the Gwinnett DOT. STORY 5: ART BEAT: Players Guild at Sugar Hill to stage 'The Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder' Looking for a darkly funny way to kick off the new year? *The Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder* hits Sugar Hill’s Eagle Theatre stage Feb. 6–15, promising six performances of murder, mayhem, and music. The story? Monty Navarro, a broke clerk, discovers he’s ninth in line to inherit a fancy title and fortune. His solution? Start “removing” the D’Ysquith family members ahead of him. It’s twisted, hilarious, and based on the 1907 novel *Israel Rank*. JD Touchton stars as Monty, marking his first musical role in four years. Tickets? Boxoffice@pgatsh.com. Now, here is Shane Delancey the Director of the Christmas Tradition at the Strand Theatre - Shane Delancey - Break 3: THE STRAND HOLIDAY STORY 6: Mill Creek Grad Holden Cammarata Runs 100-Mile Day for Williams Syndrome Holden Cammarata had a wild dream—run 100 miles in a single day. Not a marathon, not two, but *four*. The 2025 Mill Creek grad and Georgia Tech freshman had always pushed himself, running cross country in high school and now with Georgia Tech’s club team. But this? This was next level. “It’s a big jump,” he admitted. “With my foot surgery coming up, I figured this might be my last shot.” But Holden didn’t just run for himself. He ran for Molly Kate Cloer, the little sister of his high school teammate Tyler, who has Williams Syndrome. Inspired by their family, he turned his grueling goal into a fundraiser, raising over $8,000 for the cause. The run itself? Brutal. By mile 60, his injured foot was screaming. By mile 80, the park closed, forcing him to finish in a church parking lot. Every step hurt. But his parents, old teammates, and even strangers showed up to cheer him on, some running alongside him. After 25 hours, 33 minutes, and 32 seconds, Holden crossed the finish line—exhausted, in pain, but surrounded by love. STORY 7: Northside Hospital Gwinnett named one of nation's best for maternity care Northside Hospital Gwinnett just got some big news—it’s officially one of the best places in the country to have a baby, according to *U.S. News & World Report*. The hospital earned a “High Performing” rating for maternity care, putting it in the top 10% nationwide for uncomplicated pregnancies. Pretty impressive, right? Last year alone, they delivered 4,245 babies. Northside Gwinnett also scored high marks in 15 other areas, from heart surgery to stroke care. When you’re here, you’re family.

Some people fear death. Others feel it coming. For this empath, death doesn't arrive as a surprise — it whispers first. In dreams. In sudden thoughts. In warnings she never asked for. As a child, her father prepared her for the day he would die, insisting she was “special” and that he'd find a way to come back and say goodbye. Years later, that promise would collide with a lifetime of unsettling premonitions. A phone call she felt she had to make… followed by her father's sudden passing the next day. A nightmare of a casket and flowers… before finding her friend lying in the exact same coffin, surrounded by the same arrangement she'd already seen in her sleep. A whisper of her grandmother's voice… hours before the news of her death. And then, the night her father finally kept his word: a towering shadow, laced with tiny orbs of light, passing her bathroom door just before the call came. Is this a curse, a gift, or something in between?  #RealGhostStoriesOnline #DeathPremonitions #EmpathStories #ShadowPeople #ParanormalExperiences #AfterlifeGoodbye #PsychicWarnings #SpiritVisitations #CreepyPodcast #TrueGhostStories #SupernaturalGift #HauntedLife  Love real ghost stories?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual Abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, TikTok whistleblower, inspiration, and content creator, RAMCOA educator, warrioress of redemption, and my dear friend: CharlotteCharlotte arrived Earth-side on December 28, 1987 - a date chosen not by chance, but by destiny's quiet insistence. Born prematurely, she drew her first fierce breaths inside an incubator, already fighting, already unbreakable. What the world saw as a fragile beginning was, in truth, the opening chapter of an extraordinary life: the moment a warrior soul entered a battlefield no child should ever know, carrying within her the unbreakable light that would one day illuminate the darkness for countless others.Her mother's lineage traces a shadowed path - high-ranking Navy officers, 33rd-degree Freemasons, Shriners, and the hidden elite of the Royal Order of Jesters - yet within that darkness ran veins of brilliance, resilience, and intellect passed down like sacred fire. Benicia, California, the quiet ancestral ground, held secrets in its caves, but it also cradled a little girl whose spirit refused to yield.Her father's heritage carried the same complex weight: a Princeton prodigy recruited into classified realms, a chief engineer shaping the world's greatest hidden infrastructures. From Chicago's underworld to Florida's distant shores, the corridors of power and peril stretched wide - yet they unknowingly forged the very map that Charlotte would one day redraw with courage.Gifted with a rare and radiant mind - Mensa-level brilliance fused with profound intuitive gifts - she was marked early for greatness. While the world celebrated her in Gifted and Talented programs, unseen forces sought to exploit that light. Extensions of programs like Center Lane and MONARCH tried to bend her, yet every attempt only revealed the truth: some souls are simply too vast to be contained.The exploitation eventually ended, but the echoes lingered - until just over a decade ago, when memory returned not as a flood of pain, but as a tidal wave of awakening. What crashed over her was not destruction, but rebirth: the full, fierce recognition of her survival, her power, and her purpose.To every survivor who hears her voice, she offers this eternal truth: “You were never weak - you were born into a war no child should fight, yet here you are, still standing, still shining. Your very existence is victory.” Charlotte is living proof that generational chains can be shattered, that programming can be rewritten into freedom, and that the deepest wounds can heal into the strongest wings. She is not merely a survivor - she is a revolution in human form, a beacon of redemption, a force of unstoppable hope. In a war no child should fight, she emerges victorious - not a victim, but a force only getting started. Fuck you, Bechtel. The captives are rising and Charlotte is leading the way.CONNECT WITH CHARLOTTE: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charchar_healingCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://wwSupport the show

WELCOME to the 4th installment of our series, Messy Saints, where we investigate the five troubles in the Corinth church. The first was how they were forming cliques. Second was bragging about sexual sin. Third was fighting about food offered to idols. And their fourth problem—our talk for today—is they had gifted but divisive members. So, Talk 4 is titled Gifted but Divisive. In 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10, Paul says the people of Corinth are gifted. These guys were speakers, healers, prophets, discerners, tongue-interpreters, miracle workers. But behind all their problems is one big problem: Pride was dividing their community. So, Paul tells them what the Corinthians need is Love for one another–defining Love in his letter to them in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8-13 and 14:1 NLT—one of the most popular passages in the entire Bible and perhaps the most beautiful literature on love. The passage is usually quoted during weddings. But Paul is not simply talking about romantic love. The key message of Talk 4 is Love is your highest goal.

Full text:  https://eggshelltherapy.com/gifted-trauma/On the Gifted Trauma of Feeling HumiliatedToday's article is on the gifted trauma of feeling chronically humiliated, even when no one is trying to humiliate you.You know the feeling in your body before your mind can name it. The heat rising when someone begins explaining something you already know. The sickening sensation in your stomach when an authority figure talks down to you, even when they are someone you perceive to have no real authority at all. The strange shame of watching someone else present your insight as their own. The way your body contracts to brace itself.You may find yourself re-experiencing this sense of humiliation constantly, triggered by what seem like the smallest slights. And there is almost no socially acceptable way to talk about it. It feels like a taboo to say you feel humiliated when no one intended to offend. You can hardly be honest about the daily abrasion of being too bright and fast for your environment.But the feeling is real. And it did not come from nowhere.It was planted when you were trapped in a body too small for your mind, in a world that moved too slowly, explained too much, and understood too little. You were told in all sorts of obvious and not so obvious ways that your penetrative insights were dangerous, your directness was hurtful, and when you excitedly shared what you passionately knew, you made others feel small.The first wound was the humiliation itself.The second wound, perhaps the deeper one, was learning to participate in your own shrinking.You learned to start sentences with "I might be wrong, but..." and "It is probably nothing..." You shave off the sharp edges from your speech, just in case they hurt anyone. You have become so skilled at reading micro-expressions, at catching that flash of discomfort across someone's face, that you retreat before you have even fully arrived. What started as survival became something else entirely: a muscular apology you carry in your body, a chronic self-betrayal you barely notice anymore.But... maybe the second half of your life is asking something different of you. It is asking whether you are willing to finally inhabit your brightness without apology, to stop protecting people from your full self, to risk the possibility that some will turn away when they see yoEggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/eggshelltherapy_imilo/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Ritual Abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor and overcomer, TikTok whistleblower, inspiration, and content creator, RAMCOA educator, warrioress of redemption, and someone I'm honored to call my friend: CharlotteCharlotte was born on December 28, 1987, a date that was never meant to be random. Delivered prematurely and fighting for her life in an incubator, she entered the world already fractured from her mother, already marked. What looked like a medical emergency was, she later understood, the first deliberate trauma in a bloodline that had been perfecting the art of breaking children for at least four documented generations.On her mother's side, the lineage is a dark tapestry of high-ranking Navy officers, 33rd-degree Freemasons, Shriners, and the sinister Royal Order of Jesters - an elite, invitation-only circle within Shrinedom notorious even among insiders for its depravity. Benicia, California was the family seat, the place where Charlotte was taken into caves as a small child and experimented on, programmed, and trafficked. Her father's side is no less shadowed. A Princeton-educated genius recruited by the US government on campus, he walked straight into a classified Department of Energy contract and spent his career as a chief engineer for a secretive mega-corporation that built countless major projects across the world. His own father fled Chicago one step ahead of the mafia, thinking Florida would be far enough -  it wasn't. The trafficking corridors that claimed Charlotte's childhood ran exactly between those two states: California and Florida, the twin poles of her nightmare.Gifted almost cruelly (Mensa-level intellect, intuitive abilities), she was enrolled in Gifted and Talented Education while simultaneously being trafficked, ritually abused, and programmed both at home and in organized outside operations. The sexual exploitation ended when she aged out, but the surveillance, the gangstalking, the psychic harassment never fully stopped. Ten years ago the memories began flooding in earnest and not soon after, the full scope of the heinous abuse she survived crashed over her like a second birth.Today Charlotte stands whole (not because the abuse “made her strong,” but because the strength was always there, forged in a soul that refused to break even when every system conspired to shatter it). She is furious, radiant, taking her power back, and done hiding. She speaks now for the ones still silenced, for the children still in the caves, for the little girl who once lay in an incubator wondering why the world already hurt so much.She is now building something fierce: a platform, a network, legal reckoning for those who still believe they're untouchable. She wants every survivor who hears her voice to remember they were never weak; they were simply born into a war no child should have to fight.CONNECT WITH CHARLOTTE: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charchar_healingCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theiSupport the show
