‘I wouldn't change a thing. I'd go through all that suffering again and again knowing that what I've got now is what I'll have at the end of it.' In this engaging icebreaker with Karl Hinett, the discussion centres around a H-Hour patron Q&A held before the London Marathon. The episode dives into deep questions on politics, military life, and personal experiences. Karl reflects on his entry into the military, the moral complexities of war, and the impact it has had on his life and outlook.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Can you think of a time when you put your foot in your mouth? I mean, everyone can recall a moment they wanted to blend in with the wall behind them because of something they said. We're all human—it happens! But we don't want that to happen when we share the Gospel. So today, I'd like to share an icebreaker that may be the easiest way to start a spiritual conversation! So one of the easiest ways to start is by bringing up something you've done recently at church. Sharing with somebody how much you love your church and asking them whether or not they go to church is really simple. And it's an easy follow-up then to say, "Church is important to me because that's where I learned about how I can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Can I tell you about how that's changed my life?" Now, you're going be surprised by how many times you will hear "yes!" People genuinely want to know what's important to us. For more on sharing the Gospel, visit sharelife.today.

How did you respond, and how might these passages encourage you to trust God in those moments? How can you practice anchoring to God's character rather than your feelings in daily life?

In 2006, 88 soldiers consisting mainly of paratroopers from 3 Para and two platoons of Royal Irish soldiers found themselves at the mercy of hundreds of Taliban in the town of Musa Qaleh, Helmand Province. Faced with relentless attacks from all directions, and a combination of direct and indirect weaponry, the vastly outnumbered troops held their ground in a set of low-walled buildings within the District Centre compound, for 56 days. Jo Scrivener was the Company Sergeant Major.

Welcome to another episode of School Counseling Simplified (SCS)! Today we're continuing our Tiers Without Tears series with practical strategies for organizing, scheduling, and delivering Tier 1, 2, and 3 interventions. This episode is a special clip from a recent training I did for my membership community, IMPACT, where we dive deep into monthly professional development. Let's break down what EXACTLY you should be doing at each tier to streamline your work and create meaningful outcomes for your students. Layered Interventions: Understanding the Tiers Tier 1: Whole-School Support Audience: All students. Schedule: Each class gets a 30-minute lesson once a month. Challenges: Scheduling conflicts, time management, and communication. Solution: Use tools like Calendly to create a booking system for teachers to schedule their lessons for the entire year in advance. This keeps everyone accountable and eliminates last-minute stress. Lesson Plan Structure: Introduction Icebreaker Whole-class discussion or activity Small-group breakout activity Written reflection Tier 2: Small Groups Audience: Students referred for specific needs (e.g., conflict resolution, self-regulation, social skills). Group Size: 4-6 students grouped by age and need. Duration: Weekly 30-minute sessions for 6-8 weeks. Data: Use pre- and post-assessments to measure progress and inform next steps. Planning Structure: Establish rules and expectations. Feelings check (use visual aids). Icebreaker activity (e.g., bingo, Jenga, or sides of the room). Main activity (e.g., role-play, board games, cut-and-sort). Reflection (journal entry or discussion). Scheduling Tip: Gather referrals, send home permission slips, and coordinate with teachers to find mutually ideal times. Tier 3: Individual Support Audience: Students requiring one-on-one sessions for more intensive support. Duration: 30-minute sessions, tailored to individual needs. Focus: Build rapport, address specific challenges, and practice personalized strategies. Tips for Success at Each Tier Hyper-Organize: Use lesson outlines to stay on track and manage your time effectively. Engage Students: Incorporate games, breakout activities, and reflection to keep sessions interactive and impactful. Streamline Scheduling: Avoid overwhelm by automating processes and setting clear boundaries. Measure Progress: Use data-driven strategies to guide your interventions and demonstrate success. Actionable Takeaways Plan ahead: Schedule Tier 1 lessons for the year to minimize chaos. Stay flexible: Build buffers for travel time and transitions. Engage intentionally: Keep activities interactive and age-appropriate. Use data: Pre- and post-assessments are key to measuring impact. Need more support?
