On the 19th of May, 1919, an Ottoman general stepped ashore at the Black Sea port city of Samsun. This marked the beginning of the Turkish War of Independence, and ultimately the end of the Ottoman Empire. The man's name was Mustafa Kemal, the soldier, statesman and reformer who would create the Republic of Turkey out of the rubble, and become its first president.Dan is joined by Marc David Baer, Professor of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He talks us through the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the man who became known as Atatürk.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

I recently watched a video posted by the owners of a female black labrador retriever who they took to an outdoor restaurant where they were grabbling a meal. The video showed the dog choosing to sit on a separate couch, all the way at the end, facing the opposite direction from it's owners while acting like she didn't want to have anything to do with them. The owners posted, “Our moody teenager who sat herself as far away as she possibly could from her parents. The nerve of this girl.” I chuckled a bit as we all remember our own teenage years and our desire, from time to time to NOT be seen with our parents. It's known as individuation, which is a normal developmental process where our kids want to develop their own sense of self and independence from their parents. But parents, realize this, they are still watching you. Your presence and influence are more important than ever, as you model and teach what it means to live as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

And, Dr. Dom offers her perspective as a licensed clinical psychologist who works closely with women to process their lives pre- and post-divorce so that they can write beautiful new chapters in their full life stories.Together, they provide a framework where women facing divorce, recovering from divorce, or embarking on new horizons as a whole, single woman can all walk forward with their head's high and excited about their lives.Tune in for a grounded conversation about the highs and the lows of divorce and give yourself grace for wherever you are on the path. Quote of the Day:“Divorce is not a failure: Redefine failure and success for yourself and what you truly believe about life.

ActionTrackChair.comWe sit down with our friend Chad, a dealer for Action Trackchair across Wisconsin and Illinois, to unpack how an all-terrain power chair with tracks—not wheels—turns sand, snow, grass, and trails into everyday options. If you've ever wondered how adaptive tech can change not just mobility but mood, this conversation is your field guide.Chad talks us through the essentials: how track geometry spreads weight for flotation, why torque and traction matter on loose ground, and what it takes to safely handle curbs and uneven paths. We dig into custom control setups, including chin-drive systems that convert small, precise inputs into confident steering. The practical details shine, from transfer challenges to quick plywood fixes that make lifts and bases play nice. And beyond the hardware, we talk about the heartbeat of access—family, friends, and a community that refuses to let you stall when the terrain gets rough.Chad shares life after a 2010 car accident, the role of support in pushing past hard days, and the new joys of chasing a four-year-old across parks and yards thanks to the Action Trackchair. We trade stories about resilience, adaptive hacks, and the simple thrill of a beach day or a snowy path when the right gear is under you. If you're weighing your options or helping someone navigate their next steps, you'll come away with ideas to test and questions to ask.Curious about taking your own off-road? Search Action Trackchair, set up a demo, and see what opens up when you trade wheels for tracks. If this conversation helps, tap follow, share it with someone who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review so others can find it too.

What happens when your college freshman finally comes home—and you realize the adjustment isn't just theirs, it's yours too? Rebecca and Seth Greene share the laughter, tears, and lessons from Max's first visit home from college. From emotional goodbyes and overflowing laundry to rediscovering the calm “Max vibe,” the Greenes open up about how family dynamics shift when one child leaves the nest. Rebecca reflects on how hard it is to let go, why it's okay to cry, and how every parent must navigate the bittersweet transition of watching their kids grow up. Together, they talk about neural connections, emotional growth, and the power of letting your children learn independence—while still keeping the family love alive. Key Takeaways → The first college visit home is filled with love, pride, and a touch of heartbreak.→ Independence brings new neural growth for both parent and child.→ Sometimes the best thing parents can do is “chill out” and go with the flow.→ Rest, recharge, and no agenda weekends are exactly what college kids need.→ It's okay to feel all the emotions—letting go doesn't mean loving less. Quote“Yes, I'm going to cry every time Max goes back to school—and that's okay. It just means I love him deeply.” — Rebecca Greene Listen & Connect

Before Stassi Cramm became the first woman to lead the Community of Christ, Pauline Hancock led the Church of Christ. Sandra Tanner was baptized in about 1960 into Pauline Hancock's Church of Christ. We'll discuss Pauline's church, Sandra's conversion and de-conversion, and more in this amazing conversation. Check it out! https://youtu.be/3V-7stAyZ9w Don't miss our other conversations with Sandra: https://gospeltangents.com/people/sandra-tanner Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved 0:00 Updating Sandra Tanner 5:15 (In)Famous Sandra 9:39 Is Sandra Tanner Anti-Mormon? 12:05 Pauline Hancock's Origins 24:48 How Jerald Joined Pauline 32:43 Book of Mormon Has Trinitarian Roots 34:22 Jerald Visits Pauline Pioneers of Criticism: Sandra Tanner, Pauline Hancock, & Quest for the Original Church of Christ Sandra Tanner is well-known today as a staunch critic and historian of Mormonism, chronicled recently in the biography Lighthouse: Jerald and Sandra Tanner, Despised and Beloved Mormon Critics of Mormonism. While Sandra is now enjoying life in a condominium in Sandy, Utah, having retired from the stresses of her old neighborhood in Salt Lake City, her journey as a critic began in the late 1950s alongside her husband, Jerald Tanner56. This period of questioning led the newlywed Tanners to explore various splinter groups, resulting in Sandra becoming a temporary convert to a unique movement led by one of the earliest known female leaders in the Restoration: Pauline Hancock's Church of Christ. Critic, Not Anti-Mormon Before diving into her early faith experience, Sandra is careful to distinguish her identity. She notes that she is comfortable being labeled a "Mormon critic," but strongly rejects the term "anti-Mormon.” This is because the "anti-Mormon" label often implies an animosity toward the people, which she does not feel. She condemns any violence against Mormon people. She sees herself as a critic of Mormonism—its doctrines and history—not its followers. Jerald Tanner's Search for the "Start" The Tanners' joint investigation into Mormonism began around 1959. Jerald's personal crisis was spurred around age 18 when his bishop suggested he go on a mission. Jerald began reading critical works, notably Fawn Brodie's book (written in 1945), which was the standard critical source at the time. His investigation led him to seek out local splinter groups, first visiting the Reorganized Church in Salt Lake City. There, he met a barber named James Wardle, who operated a shop that housed one of the largest collections of historic books on early Mormonism. Wardle provided Jerald with a key text that shaped his direction: David Whitmer's pamphlet, An Address to All Believers in Christ (1887). Whitmer's position was that the Book of Mormon was the main thing and that Joseph Smith "got a big head, invented all this other stuff.” This idea became Jerald's litmus test: if there was any truth to Mormonism, it had to be at the start, centered on the Book of Mormon. Jerald even took a trip to Independence, Missouri, to verify Whitmer's claims that the revelations had been changed, specifically noting discrepancies between the current version of the Doctrine and Covenants and the early Book of Commandments. Pauline Hancock and the "Luke-ite" Church of Christ James Wardle also informed Jerald about Pauline Hancock's small Church of Christ group, noting that they aligned more closely with David Whitmer's views than other splinter groups. Pauline Hancock was raised in the Reorganized (RLDS) Church, where her father had served as a pastor in Salt Lake City. She became disillusioned with both the RLDS and the Temple Lot Church. She, her husband, and others who went through similar struggles were deeply impacted by Whitmer's pamphlet. This group, sometimes referred to as "the Luke-ites" because they first met in the home of a Mr. Luke, established their own theological foundation:

In our reading of 1 Maccabees today, Fr. Mike highlights the the establishment of the new independent sovereign nation of Israel in the land of Judah. We learn how Simon takes command and enforces the law all around the land. Fr. Mike reminds us that even today, Christians are governed by Jesus himself and ultimately to belong to him. Today's readings are 1 Maccabees 13, Sirach 32-33, and Proverbs 23:17-21. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

        3. Post-Revolution Collapse, Failed Statehood, and the Holodomor Following the collapse of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires after World War I, Ukrainians sought independence. The Ukrainian People's Republic emerged from the Russian collapse as a democratic state with liberal policies. However, it quickly collapsed internally, as its bureaucrats were heavily Russified, and externally, as various Russian armies (communist, monarchist, or liberal) immediately invaded, united by the belief that Ukraine must be part of Russia. Separately, the West Ukrainian People's Republic was defeated and incorporated into Poland. Later, Stalin, fearing internal Ukrainian dissent and needing grain exports for military modernization, implemented forced collectivization. This led to the purposeful famine of the Holodomor (1932-1933), resulting in deaths of an estimated 3.5 to 5 million people. This tragedy served Stalin's goal of breaking the backbone of the Ukrainian peasantry to secure the region before World War II devastated the landscape.

The Hindi heartland, comprising Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh, covers nearly 38 per cent of India's total area and is home to over 40 per cent of India's population. It provides the country with over 40 per cent of its parliamentarians and determines the contours of national politics (out of the fifteen prime ministers India has had since 1947, eight have been from the Hindi belt). Yet, despite its political significance, the Hindi belt is among the most impoverished regions in the country. It consumes the bulk of the country's resources, but lags behind other states on various economic and welfare indices. It is plagued by violence, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, poor life expectancy, and numerous other ills. Centuries of war, conquests, invasions, political movements, and religious unrest have made the heartland a place of immense paradox. Despite its extraordinary and timeless religious heritage-some of the country's most revered spiritual leaders were born here and it is home to innumerable shrines and places of pilgrimage-it has also witnessed some of the worst communal riots in the country and has been troubled by long-running, divisive sectarian politics. Many of India's founders, who gave the country its secular identity, hailed from the heartland, but so too did those who have spread religious discord. And the land of Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb routinely witnesses lynching and murder in the name of religion. The Hindi Heartland: A Study (Aleph Book Company, 2025) is divided into five sections. Section I explores the geography of the region, which stretches from Rajasthan in the west to Jharkhand in the east with Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh in between. The author then looks at caste, religion, the rural-urban divide, and the tribes who belong to the region. In the chapter on the economy, she attempts to show how the economic backwardness of the Hindi belt has come about through faulty and myopic post- Independence policies conceived by various governments-these have come in the way of sustained and inclusive development. The chapter on language chronicles both the emergence of Hindi as the primary lingua franca of this region at the cost of other languages, as well as the politics that linked language with religion. The last chapter in this section explores the influence of the heartland on what is today popularly understood to be Indian culture. Section II looks at the medieval and modern history of the region and covers the emergence of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals, the Marathas, and the East India Company. Section III examines British colonialism through the lens of empire building, and shows how the imperialists distorted history to facilitate their divide and rule policy. It also dwells on the deliberate economic impoverishment of the Hindi belt and how this continues to impact the region even after Independence. Section IV analyses the freedom struggle-and covers among other things the emergence of the idea of India and the increasing Hinduization of that idea. It establishes the Hindi belt's criticality to Gandhi's satyagraha, and the success of the British Indian government's experiments with strategies that divided communities, which eventually led to the partition of the country. Section V appraises developments in the region after Independence. Learn more about your ad choices.

You have to navigate an almost endless list of uncertainties when raising a child, and it's hard to figure out the best approach to parenting. At one end of the spectrum, you've got so-called helicopter parents, who micromanage every aspect of their children's lives, and at the other end parents who are so hands-off that some label them as lazy. Maybe sometimes they are lazy. But in other cases, letting kids learn from their mistakes is an intentional choice rather than pure laziness. You might think that stepping back means kisd are more likely to get into trouble. But that's not necessarily the case. The idea is to scale back constant parental involvement to help kids develop their own skills, problem-solving abilities, and independence. After all, if parents swoop in to solve every issue, how can children ever figure out how to manage on their own? Couldn't such an approach be seen as negligent? How does one become a “lazy” parent?

Lindsay Whorton - A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles. This is episode 792 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Lindsay Whorton is proud to be a founding member of The Holdsworth Center. She helped design the Center's programming and has served as president since 2019. Under Lindsay's leadership, Holdsworth has grown from serving seven public school districts through its initial offering – the Holdsworth Partnership – to serving more than 1,900 leaders in 89 public school districts across several programs, all designed to build a bench of stronger superintendents and principals for Texas public schools. Lindsay's story with Holdsworth began in 2015, when Charles Butt, Chairman of H-E-B, tapped her to work with an organizing board designing the center's first programs. At the time, Lindsay was working as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Washington D.C. She officially joined The Holdsworth Center team shortly after its launch in January 2017. In her role as managing director of district support, Lindsay helped create and evolve Holdsworth's model for supporting partner districts to develop aspiring leaders, place them in leadership roles and support them as they progress along their leadership journey. Lindsay's dive into education research began in 2009, when she was named a Rhodes Scholar and went on to earn a master's degree in comparative social policy and a doctorate in social policy from Oxford University. During her time at Oxford, Lindsay spent a year at the University of Helsinki, where she was a Fulbright Scholar. She visited schools and classrooms to understand Finland's world-renowned teacher education system. In 2016, Routledge published her book Teachers Unions and Education Reform in Comparative Contexts, which examined the impact of teachers' unions on performance-related pay reform in Finland, Switzerland, Texas and Florida. A native of Independence, Missouri, Lindsay earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education and English from Drake University in Iowa, where she served as a captain of the women's basketball team. Lindsay helped lead the underdog team to a Cinderella finish in 2007 by winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship and was named the tournament's outstanding player and a First-Team Academic All-American.

In this episode, I delve into the critical issue of becoming a bottleneck in your business as it grows, especially past the 15-employee mark. I discuss the tangible and intangible costs associated with a centralized decision-making process, emphasizing the importance of fostering independence and innovation within teams. I highlight the financial implications of delayed decision-making and explore how a bottleneck mentality can stifle creative input from team members, ultimately affecting morale and growth. Furthermore, I address the personal toll on leaders who feel the weight of control and the need for balance in their lives. By sharing inspiring examples, I encourage leaders to reflect on their roles and empower their teams, paving the way for a healthier organizational culture and sustainable growth. The Cost of Being a Bottleneck Financial Implications of Control Cultural Impact on Your Team Personal Consequences of Bottlenecking The Cost of Being a Bottleneck In this episode, I explore the critical issue of being the bottleneck in your business, a challenge that often emerges as organizations grow beyond the 15-employee mark. Early in a company's journey, it's natural for leaders to be at the center of every decision. But as the team expands, maintaining that same level of control can begin to slow progress, limit innovation, and create hidden costs that restrict growth. I discuss why this transition is such a pivotal leadership moment, one that requires shifting from hands-on management to empowering independence, critical thinking, and ownership across the team. Recognizing when your involvement is helping versus hindering becomes essential to scaling both effectively and sustainably. Financial and Cultural Implications of Control The first cost of being a bottleneck shows up financially. When decisions stall at the top, opportunities are missed, projects slow down, and innovation stagnates. These financial implications often go unnoticed, buried within declining momentum and unrealized revenue. I explain how identifying these bottlenecks can uncover the true cost of control and open pathways to faster, more efficient growth. Beyond finances, the cultural impact can be just as damaging. A bottleneck mentality often breeds hesitation among team members; they wait for approval rather than take initiative. This dynamic suppresses creativity, discourages ownership, and weakens morale. I share how fostering an open culture where ideas are welcomed and independent thinking is valued can reignite engagement, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate innovation across the organization. The Personal Consequences and the Path Forward Finally, I address the personal toll that being a bottleneck takes on leaders themselves. The constant need to control outcomes often leads to burnout, strained relationships, and declining well-being. Many leaders unintentionally trade their health and balance for a sense of control that ultimately limits both personal fulfillment and organizational success. I share real examples of leaders who recognized this pattern and transformed their approach, shifting from control to trust, from micromanagement to mentorship. These stories demonstrate that the path forward isn't about stepping back entirely, but about building a structure that thrives without constant oversight. As I close, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own leadership habits and join our upcoming training sessions designed to help overcome bottleneck challenges. Creating a business that runs smoothly without you isn't just an ideal, it's a mark of mature, sustainable leadership. Through real-world insights and inspiring examples, this episode serves as a call to action for leaders ready to evolve their approach. Discover how empowering your team to think independently not only boosts morale and innovation but also creates a healthier, more sustainable organization that thrives beyond your direct involvement.

In this powerful message from Matthew 21, Pastor Matthew Johnson teaches how our cultural love of independence can quietly lead us to resist God's authority.

Pastor Matthew explores four key truths: God is the Creator, the Designer, the Redeemer, and the Judge. Each one calls us to trust Him completely. This teaching challenges believers to recognize areas of hidden rebellion, repent, and return to obedience. Discover how full submission leads to freedom and blessing in Christ.

Join Josh Israel, MD, and Sean Cavanaugh, along with Brittney Anderson, MD, family physician and podcaster (“Physicians Hanging a Shingle”) and Dan Bowles, general manager of practice health at Aledade, to discuss Anderson's journey to owning her own private practice, and how she supports other physicians seeking independence. Both Anderson and Bowles believe value-based care is crucial for independent primary care practices, and that greater exposure to independent practice models is essential to provide physicians with more employment options.

It can be tempting to step in and “just do it” when your child struggles, whether it's opening a tricky package, making a sandwich that keeps falling apart, or facing the frustration of trying something new.

You'll learn how to support your child through the frustration without rescuing, and how to balance encouragement with connection so they gain skills and emotional resilience.Helping kids become more independent doesn't just teach them to do things on their own, it teaches them that they can try, fail, and succeed while knowing you're there to support them.Jennifer's Takeaways:Encouraging Independence in Children (00:00)Understanding Personal Responses (02:38)Supportive Techniques for Independence (04:35)Encouraging Phrases and Micro Boundaries (06:45)Personalized Approaches and Long-term Practice (10:15)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.
