Podcast appearances and mentions of heather james

Heather James is best known to us all as the mum of Deborah James, the beautiful bowelbabe, who I interviewed for Spinning Plates 3 years ago. That was the year before her premature death at the age of 40, from bowel cancer.Heather explained how she is grieving but working. Not only working in her day job as a gymnastics teacher, but also doing everything that Deborah would have continued with - including campaigning to highlight April as Bowel Cancer Awareness month.Deborah spent the last weeks of her life at her mum and dad's house in the summer of 2022 surrounded by her family. Heather and her husband Alistair found themselves looking after Deborah and, to everyone's surprise, hosting Prince William when he came to their garden to make Deborah a Dame. Heather talked about caring for Deborah when she came home to die, but said Deborah's zest for life - and campaigning - meant that far from going quiet, it was a busy time of fun, outings, a book, a rose and of course, a Damehood.It struck me that Heather is everything you would hope to be, as a mum in such a dreadful circumstance. She is planning to life life to the full, as Deborah wanted her to. And we spoke, just before her son's wedding where the entire family were planning to party and celebrate just as Deborah would have done if she were still here. And speaking as someone who witnessed her 40th birthday party in full swing, boy, did Deborah know how to party!Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones Hosted on Acast.

Would your neighborhood even notice if your church ceased to exist?  I imagine that's a question many of us have thought about.  Maybe you've even posed that question to your congregation.Maybe the question should be, as churches, how do we become more present to our neighborhood.?  That's what I talk about in this episode with my guest, Tim Soerens, the author of Everywhere You Look: Discovering the Church Right Where You Are.Tim walks us through his shift from wanting to be a big church pastor to learning what it means to truly embody the Christian narrative in our neighborhoods. And he helps us better understand the concept of a parish and what it means to have a “minimum viable presence” in your community.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tim Soerens emphasizes the need to listen and understand the specific hopes and dreams God has for both communities and individuals.He advises on discerning how to actively address the particular needs and challenges within a neighborhood or parish.The conversation delves into determining a parish's boundaries, considering factors like centers of activity, edges, and resident affiliation.Soerens notes the complexities in identifying a parish in suburban and rural settings, influenced by architectural designs and local governance.Markus Watson discusses the varied needs of communities in serving their neighborhoods effectively.Tim Soerens suggests congregations often comprise multiple parishes, sparking discussion on discerning their locations.Soerens introduces the idea of a 'minimum viable presence' for church experimentation, akin to the business concept of a 'minimum viable product.'He highlights the value of small, experimental initiatives to understand better what works in community outreach.The discussion encourages involving others in these small experiments and celebrating the courage it takes to try new approaches.They stress the freedom to experiment without the fear of failure, emphasizing that each community requires a tailored approach.Soerens recommends starting outreach efforts with curiosity, prayer, and involving others in experimental activities.Tim Soerens shares insights into The Parish Collective's mission and upcoming events, inviting listeners to connect.He recounts a pivotal interaction with Michael Frost that steered him away from preaching-centric community formation to joining what God is already doing.The conversation touches on the formation of The Parish Collective, which encourages congregations to align their ecclesial life around joining God's work.Soerens advocates for a vision of the church that transcends Sunday services, focusing instead on being actively involved in God's hopes and dreams for neighborhoods.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Parish Collective WebsiteBooks Mentioned:Everywhere You Look, by Tim SoerensRelated episodes:Episode 129: Recalibrating the Church Around Jesus, with Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch Episode 185: From Sunday Services to Real Transformation, with E.K.

We never consider being a friend to ourselves. In order to be a friend, you have to show yourself friendly even to thine own self.

## Acquia Certification Program   * First off, what is the Acquia Certification Program? * Who was involved in developing the curriculum? * I took a quick look, and it seems that there are four parts to the test. Are those taken individually? Or all together? (And what are the sections?)     * Will this accurately assess front-end developers? Or Backend/Sitebuilders.     * What about specialists? * How is the exam administered? * Where can people take the test? * There has been talk about certifications in the past. Some have been for it, and some have been opposed. What kind of feedback have you received so far?   ## Future * Will you be updating the program regularly?  Absolutely * Will there be a D7 version and a D8 version?  It will depend on the exam and the need s of the role we are validating * Should other certification programs be developed?   ## Questions from Twitter * [Tanay Sai](http://www.twitter.com/saitanay) Any plans to launch further specialization/levels? Like  for Architects, themers, Drupal PMs etc?  Yest, the Front end and Back end specialist exams are on the current roadmap.   Other are in pre-planning stages. 

Heather James, Acquia's Manager of Learning Services, has been in and around Drupal since the version 4 days. She says people new to Drupal "have an easier time at this stage coming to Drupal" than they did 6 years ago. Nonetheless, her early experiences learning how to use Drupal are still reflected by the questions people ask learning Drupal today. This, combined with her excitement about Drupal's potential and her background as an educator, motivated her to become a Drupal trainer. She is passionate about education ("When you're teaching, you're building a bridge from what people know to what they don't know.") and says about her job at Acquia, "I feel like I have a patron who helps me do the things I like to do, which is get out there and teach people."
