In his sermon during this week's School of Theology graduation services, Pastor Kong Hee reminded everyone of the importance of theology. As we grow in the Lord, we should desire to know Him more deeply. Theology helps us understand God's heart, teaches us what brings Him joy, and shows us how to live in response to Him. This is especially important for leaders. Let us all grow deeper in theology and expect greater revival in our lives!

Dr. Annalies Corbin is the Founder and CEO of the PAST Foundation, an organization dedicated to connecting scientific research with education. Over the past 25 years, she has grown PAST into a nationally recognized leader in transforming teaching and learning, impacting millions of students and thousands of educators across the U.S. She also launched the Learning Unboxed podcast to explore innovative approaches to education and the future of workforce development.Key Takeaways The 5 Kevlar Threads: student agency, cultural relevancy, mastery, transdisciplinary learning, and problem-based learning STEM "affinity" research: kids light up around math and science when learning feels tangible — mastery-based learning, real problem-solving, and social-emotional connection are the three levers that spark that engagement.Silos have their place — a focused mini-lesson works beautifully when it's triggered by an immediate, meaningful need within a bigger project, giving students exactly what they need, right when they need it.Graduation is just the beginning — the real opportunity is helping students discover who they're becoming, not just getting them across the finish line.Relationships are what last — ask any adult about a profound learning moment and they'll light up describing a person who believed in them, not a lesson plan. That's the impact educators get to have every day."It takes a village" is coming back into focus — as more people recognize how much parents, grandparents, mentors and coaches contribute to a child's growth, there's real momentum to give that learning the credit it deserves.Chapters:00:02 - Introducing Dr. Annalies Corbin — Founder & CEO of the PAST Foundation01:53 - About the Foundation: Origins & Mission19:13 - Translating Research into Support: In‑Person, Online and Mobile Lab Services27:04 - Rethinking Schooling: From Buildings to Community Learning36:30 - Memorable Learning: People and Experiences Over Curriculumhttps://www.pastfoundation.orghttps://www.facebook.com/annalies.corbin/https://www.instagram.com/annaliescorbin/https://www.linkedin.com/in/annalies-corbin-4016121

Sept. 17, 2026 - State education officials have set an expiration date on the importance of the Regents exams for graduating high school, but what comes next is still a work in progress. We discuss concerns about the ambitious timeline with Patrick Mannion, an upstate member of the New York State Board of Regents.

In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Arizona State Treasurer Kimberly Yee, Republican candidate for Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction, for a wide-ranging conversation about education, Arizona's future workforce, and the challenges facing students and teachers across the state.Yee discusses her vision for improving Arizona education, from strengthening reading and math skills to expanding STEM, vocational training, financial literacy, and career opportunities for students. She also shares how she believes schools should approach artificial intelligence as technology continues to reshape both the classroom and the economy.The conversation explores Arizona's teacher shortage, teacher pay and retention, classroom management, parental involvement, school choice, and how more resources can reach teachers and students directly. Yee also discusses the importance of preparing students for multiple paths after graduation, whether that means college, skilled trades, workforce training, or entering a career with an industry certification.Paul and Yee also discuss civics, U.S. history, and helping young people better understand the country they are inheriting. As Paul raises concerns about political division and a declining understanding of history, Yee explains why she wants schools to place a greater emphasis on the Constitution, America's founding principles, civil discourse, and teaching students how to understand and respectfully engage with different points of view.The conversation concludes with a broader discussion about Arizona politics and putting Arizonans ahead of party. Paul and Yee discuss independent voters, finding common ground, and the importance of leaders working across political differences to get things done for the state.Chapters: 00:00 - Arizona Politics Are Getting Ugly 05:26 - Intro 06:03 - Who is Kimberly Yee?  10:59 - What Has Arizona Education Gotten Right? 14:27 - The Billions Behind Arizona's Public Schools 16:10 - What Should Every Student Know by Graduation? 19:41 - Is Arizona Ready for AI in the Classroom? 21:16 - Preparing Students for Arizona's Jobs of Tomorrow 27:38 - Can AI Help Teachers Without Replacing Them? 32:31 - Why Arizona Is Struggling to Keep Teachers 37:57 - Where Are the Parents?41:10 - Are Students Learning Enough American History? 46:02 - Can Arizona Leaders Put Party Aside? 55:45 - Final Remarks and Conclusion

Jeff Gross sits down with Garrett Adelstein, one of the most recognizable and respected high-stakes cash game players in the world, just two weeks before the release of his debut memoir, Beneath the Cards, out September 1st. Garrett explains what it actually took to write it: more than three years of drafts, therapy sessions that turned into pages, and a story far bigger than the headline he is best known for. He opens up about how the controversial Jack4 hand at Hustler Casino Live became the unexpected catalyst for the whole project, why he still doesn't feel he has every answer, and how he reads the public perception of that night today. From there the two go back to the beginning: grinding online as a college freshman in 2004, running his bankroll to nearly a million dollars by graduation, then losing almost all of it in six months. Garrett gets candid about the on-and-off mental health cycles that peaked on his 30th birthday, the harmony-not-balance philosophy he uses to raise two young kids while still chasing big goals, why he believes it is harder than ever to build a poker career today, and why the game deserves far more credit for the real-world skills it teaches.

Most businesspeople have no idea how low the standard of professional presenting really is. We attend the same conferences, listen to the same internal speakers and watch the same predictable corporate presentations. Because everyone around us is operating at roughly the same level, mediocre communication begins to look normal. The Japanese proverb, "The frog in the well doesn't know the ocean", perfectly captures the problem. The frog assumes its small environment represents the entire world. In the same way, businesspeople often assume the presentations they regularly see represent the highest possible standard. They don't. To become more persuasive, credible and memorable, presenters must climb out of their familiar well and explore the much larger ocean of world-class communication. Why do businesspeople accept mediocre presentations? Businesspeople accept poor presentations because mediocre speaking is usually all they have ever experienced.When the surrounding standard is low, audiences and presenters become conditioned to expect very little. Most of us were not exposed to brilliant public speakers while growing up. High-school teachers often knew their subjects but were not trained to communicate them dynamically. University professors delivered hundreds of lectures, yet many relied on dense slides, academic jargon and monotone explanations. Politicians on television often avoid direct answers and retreat into carefully tested statements designed to offend nobody. Graduation speakers frequently offer predictable stories and tired advice. The same pattern continues in business. Internal meetings are filled with data dumps, crowded PowerPoint slides and speakers reading information that the audience can already see. Eventually, the frog assumes the well is the world. Do now: Stop judging your presentation skills only against colleagues. Compare yourself with outstanding professional communicators. Why is persuasion power so important in modern business? Persuasion power is essential because audiences are overwhelmed by information and have endless opportunities to ignore us. Good information alone is no longer enough to gain attention or inspire action. Executives receive emails, instant messages, dashboards, reports, videos, podcasts and social-media content throughout the day. Hybrid work has added even more online meetings and digital distractions. When a speaker begins presenting, the audience may be physically present but mentally elsewhere. They are checking messages, thinking about their next meeting or wondering whether the presentation has any relevance to them. A giant data dump will not solve the problem. Even accurate and valuable information loses impact when it is delivered without structure, emotion or context. Effective presenters combine credible data with storytelling, examples, contrasts and clear recommendations. They explain not only what the numbers are, but why they matter and what the audience should do next. Do now: Before presenting any data, identify the decision, action or change you want that data to support. How can storytelling improve a business presentation? Storytelling makes business information easier to understand, remember and act upon. It gives facts a human context and helps the audience see why the message matters. This does not mean every executive presentation needs a dramatic Hollywood-style narrative. A useful business story can be short and practical. You might describe a customer who nearly left, a project that failed because warning signs were ignored or a team that achieved a breakthrough after changing its approach. The story creates interest, while the supporting data gives the message credibility. Japanese business presentations often emphasise accuracy, detail and risk reduction. American presentations may place more emphasis on energy, confidence and individual recommendations. European and Asia-Pacific organisations vary considerably, but every audience benefits from clarity and relevance. The strongest approach combines the disciplines: solid evidence, cultural awareness, concise structure and a relatable example. Do now: Attach one customer, employee or project example to every major recommendation you make. Where can professionals find examples of great speakers? Professionals can now study outstanding speakers more easily and cheaply than at any previous point in history.The presenting ocean is available through YouTube, TED, podcasts, business associations and professional events. Content marketing has encouraged experts to place their ideas and communication skills on public display. Potential clients can sample a consultant, trainer, author or executive before deciding whether to engage them. Search for skilled speakers in your industry, but do not limit yourself to your own field. A technology executive can learn audience engagement from an educator. A financial specialist can learn storytelling from a documentary presenter. A sales leader can study structure and timing through a well-delivered TED Talk. In Tokyo, Chambers of Commerce, professional associations, universities and organisations such as Rotary regularly host speakers. Some will be excellent. Others will provide memorable lessons in what not to do. Both types are useful. Do now: Select three outstanding speakers and study how they open, transition, use stories, emphasise key words and close. What should you study when watching a professional speaker? Do not merely watch great speakers for entertainment; analyse the techniques producing the impact. Improvement comes from deliberate observation rather than passive consumption. Start with the opening. Does the speaker begin with a question, story, surprising fact or strong statement? Notice how quickly the topic becomes relevant to the audience. Listen to the voice. Skilled speakers vary their speed, volume and tone. They pause before or after important points. They emphasise keywords instead of giving every word identical weight. Observe physical delivery. Look at eye contact, posture, facial expression and gestures. Note whether movements appear natural or rehearsed. Examine the structure. Strong speakers guide the audience from one idea to the next. They use examples to clarify abstract concepts and repeat central messages without sounding repetitive. Also study unsuccessful speakers. Ask where you lost interest and what caused the message to become confusing. Do now: Keep a presentation observation notebook and record specific techniques you can test in your next speech. How much time does it take to become a better presenter? One focused hour of study each week can quickly separate you from most business presenters. The advantage comes not from extraordinary talent but from consistently doing what most people never do. Businesspeople often say they have no time to improve their communication skills. Yet persuasion affects leadership, sales, client relationships, change management, executive meetings and career advancement. The issue is rarely a complete absence of time. It is usually a question of priorities. Watch one excellent speaker for an hour each week. Take detailed notes. Before your next presentation, review those notes and select one or two techniques to apply. Do not attempt to transform everything simultaneously. Work first on the opening. Next, improve vocal variety. Then strengthen storytelling, eye contact or the closing recommendation. Small improvements compound. Within a year, you will have completed more deliberate presentation study than most professionals undertake in an entire career. Do now: Reserve one recurring hour each week for presentation study, note-taking and deliberate practice. How can leaders escape the presenting well? Leaders escape the presenting well by deliberately expanding their exposure, practising new techniques and refusing to accept mediocrity. Access to great examples means nothing unless it leads to changed behaviour. The modern presenting ocean is enormous. World-class speakers, executive interviews, university lectures, conference presentations and communication training are available online and offline. The barrier is no longer access. It is discipline. Persuasion is not an optional decorative skill for leaders. Leaders need people to understand priorities, support change, make decisions and take action. That requires messages that are clear, concise and convincing. Study the best speakers. Study the disasters. Take notes. Rehearse. Ask whether your presentation is built for the audience or merely convenient for you. The frog can remain comfortable inside the well. The professional presenter has to climb out. Conclusion Most business presenters are not competing against world-class communicators. They are competing against people who make little effort to improve. That is encouraging. A modest but consistent investment in observation, preparation and practice can place you well ahead of the field. Use stories to humanise data. Structure messages around audience needs. Study skilled speakers and deliberately apply what you learn. The ocean is already available. The only question is whether you are willing to leave the well.

Thanks to our Partner, AppFueledSEO can easily turn into a game of watching rankings, reporting what happened, and waiting to see what happens next. But what if there was a better way to know exactly when it's time to stop focusing on one keyword and start going after the next opportunity?Brian Walker sits down with Shop Marketing Pros Director of SEO Michelle Travis to break down the new SMP Proactive Keyword Lifecycle System and how it changes SEO from reactive to proactive. They dig into how keywords are discovered, qualified, accelerated, validated, and eventually “graduated” once they reach meaningful and stable positions in search.They also get into why SEO timelines can look completely different for a rural shop versus a shop surrounded by hundreds of competitors in a major metro area, how keyword difficulty affects expectations, and why focusing on 20 keywords doesn't mean your shop will only rank for 20 keywords.And the early numbers behind the system are pretty impressive. During beta testing, 31% of the tracked keywords graduated within the first 30 days, with nearly all of those maintaining their graduation status during the following 30 days.If you want a better understanding of what your shop's SEO company should actually be doing behind the scenes and how a real strategy should keep moving forward instead of sitting in maintenance mode. Listen to the full episode.Show Notes with TimestampsIntroduction to the Episode (00:00:10) Host Brian Walker introduces guest Michelle Travis and the topic: a new SEO system for auto repair shops.The Problem with Old SEO Methods (00:02:22) Michelle explains the challenges of managing too many keywords, leading to a reactive, maintenance-only mode without clear focus.Shifting from Reactive to Proactive SEO (00:05:15) The discussion shifts to how the new system allows for a proactive strategy, using data to decide future actions.The Concept of "Graduating" Keywords (00:07:04) Michelle details the lifecycle stages of a keyword, from discovery and qualification to the final stage of "graduating" it.Defining Keyword Graduation (00:09:30) Graduation is defined as achieving meaningful visibility (top 3-4 positions) consistently, allowing focus to shift to new keywords.Managing the Keyword Backlog (00:11:08) The system uses a backlog to replace graduated keywords, ensuring a continuous, focused effort on a manageable number of terms.Categorizing Keyword Difficulty (00:13:47) Keywords are broken down into high-priority, moderate, and hyperlocal categories, each with different timelines and strategic approaches.Setting Performance Benchmarks (00:17:12) The system allows the agency to set clear performance benchmarks based on market size and shop type to measure success.Initial Beta Test Results (00:20:47) Michelle shares impressive results from a beta test, where 31% of keywords graduated within the first 30 days.The Broader Impact of Focused SEO (00:23:23) Focusing on 20 keywords doesn't limit ranking; it naturally improves visibility for hundreds of related terms through modern SEO.Natural Language Processing in SEO (00:26:26) The hosts discuss how search engines understand context and synonyms, making content more effective without keyword stuffing.System Rollout and Client Benefits (00:27:09) The new system is being rolled out to all clients, providing a clear workbook to set and manage expectations.How To Get In TouchJoin The Auto Repair Marketing Mastermind Group on FacebookMeet The ProsFollow SMP on FacebookFollow SMP on InstagramGet The Ultimate Guide to Auto Repair Shop Marketing BookEmail Us Podcast Questions or Topics Thanks to our Partner, AppFueledAppFueled at appfueled.com. “Are you ready to convert clients to members?

Is It Ever Okay To Cut Off Blood Family? #inmyopinionpodcast #toxicfamily #nocontactIn this episode of the In My Opinion Podcast, the team gets real about family boundaries, strict upbringing, and whether you should ever completely cut off blood relatives.The conversation starts with how kids treat their parents today and crazy childhood stories, including spitting in a stepmom's tea. The guys react to research showing how cutting off toxic family members can lower anxiety and improve sleep, leading to a debate on total no contact versus keeping a healthy distance. One host shares a personal story about his dad skipping his graduation, why African parents struggle to apologize, and how older generations of men handle mental health. They also discuss breaking toxic family cycles, going back to church, and details for their upcoming live show.

And while that step might be a bit scary for some, we all get past it – we have to. But what if there is something truly to be afraid of at your graduation? Like the possibility of being murdered? (Murdered During Graduation) *** Joseph McKinnon strangled his girlfriend Patricia Dent, then died while trying to bury her body in their garden. (Killed By Karma) *** When you die, do you know that you are dead? A new study says that maybe… yes. You might still be conscious enough to know you are dead even after your body ceases to live. But for how long? (When You Die, You Are Conscious Long Enough To Know It) *** The term Zodiac in true crime circles invokes images of serial murder, cryptograms and bragging letters in and around San Francisco. But the California Zodiac is not the only Zodiac out there.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a string of graduation celebrations that ended in murder to a comparison of the Korean and California Zodiac killers, a scientific claim that human consciousness lingers briefly after death, and the case of a South Carolina man who died burying the girlfriend he had just strangled.It opens with a survey of graduation celebrations turned deadly, beginning with the May 2020 party in southwest Indiana where 47-year-old William Baker carried a .30-06 rifle into a shed and shot 18-year-old South Dearborn High School graduate Paycin Kritlow in the back, claiming his daughter had been raped even though she and her friends denied any assault occurred, a killing that earned Baker a 55-year sentence in November 2021. The segment moves through Menhaz Zaman, a 24-year-old outside Toronto who murdered his father, mother, sister, and grandmother with a crowbar-like weapon and a knife the day before a York University graduation he had faked after failing out of Seneca College; the June 2020 shooting of 19-year-old Tyana Johnson in a Bronx park while her friend Ahamad Branch worked as the DJ; and the June 2017 ambush of Maryland teenagers Shadi Adi Najjar and Artem Ziberov, shot thirty times between them by a group who had searched online for a song called "I Kill for My Family" and killed over a stolen handful of marijuana. Other cases stretch across Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, and Louisiana, including 18-year-old Hailey Deickman, who died days before her high school graduation after Franklin Senfles sold her fentanyl she believed was oxycodone.From there, the show sets two very different Zodiac cases side by side. The first is the Korean "Zodiac Killer," the Hwaseong murders that began on September 15th, 1986 with the rape and strangling of 71-year-old Lee Wan-im and continued as women were strangled with their own clothing on dark rural roads, a case that drew a manhunt of more than 21,000 suspects and sent a disabled man named Yoon Sung-yeo to prison on a coerced confession, until DNA identified Lee Choon-jae in 2019, a man already jailed since 1995 who confessed to 14 murders and 30 rapes and had escaped suspicion because police wrongly believed the killer's blood was type B rather than his actual type O. Darren places that against the California Zodiac, who killed at least five people around San Francisco between 1968 and 1971, taunted newspapers with cryptograms and threats against schoolchildren, and drew suspicion onto former schoolteacher Arthur Leigh Allen without ever being caught. The segment weighs how each case reached the screen, contrasting Bong Joon-ho's 2003 film Memories of Murder, made while the Korean killer was still unknown, with David Fincher's 2007 Zodiac, built on Robert Graysmith's books, and argues that a competent investigation on either continent might have swapped the outcomes.Next, the episode turns to research suggesting that human consciousness may briefly outlast the body. Dr. Sam Parnia, director of critical care and resuscitation research at NYU Langone in New York City, describes cardiac-arrest patients who were revived and could recall specific conversations and the actions of the doctors and nurses working to save them, and his work points to conscious awareness continuing for as long as three minutes after the heart stops even though the brain's electrical activity typically flatlines within twenty to thirty seconds. The segment adds microbiologist Peter Noble of the University of Washington, whose studies on mice and zebrafish found certain genes increasing in activity in the hours after death, and it frames both findings as evidence that cells shut down gradually rather than switching instantly from living to dead.The episode closes with the death of Joseph McKinnon in Trenton, South Carolina, whom deputies first found lying unresponsive in his yard, dead of a heart attack he suffered while filling in a pit a neighbor believed was meant for a new water feature. When investigators could not locate McKinnon's girlfriend, 65-year-old Patricia Dent, and learned she had missed her shift at the Mount Vintage Golf Club, they dug into the pit and uncovered black garbage bags holding her bound, bruised, and strangled body. Edgefield County Sheriff Jody Rowland and Coroner David Burnett concluded that McKinnon had attacked and choked Dent inside their home, wrapped her, and collapsed from cardiac arrest as he covered her over, and her twin sister Pamela Briggs spoke of her grief while police noted the couple had no known history of domestic violence, meaning that had McKinnon lived, Dent might simply have vanished.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the challenges facing Northeast and other community colleges across the state — many of which are not always visible from the outside. Ford discusses the changing landscape of higher education, including declining enrollment, the demographic cliff and budget pressures, as well as the structural and societal challenges affecting today's community colleges. Ford explains how institutions built around a 20th-century model of semester-based education are adapting to meet the needs of 21st-century students, including nontraditional learners seeking flexibility, stackable credentials and rapid skill acquisition. Ford also examines the pressure to move students quickly into the workforce or through short-term programs while ensuring they receive the broader education, guidance and pathways needed to continue their studies, develop as adults and build successful careers. While community colleges remain an affordable option, they face increasing pressure to demonstrate their return on investment in comparison with direct-to-workforce opportunities and short-term certificates. Ford explores how Northeast is responding to these challenges and working to provide meaningful educational opportunities for students and the communities it serves.
