General Superintendent Jerald Johnson offers guidance on how pastors can creatively face opposition in their work for Christ. Pastors, like political leaders, must present programs and budgets and convince others. Johnson discusses the right to dissent within the Church of the Nazarene and how opposition allows a pastor to test their ideas. He advises against reacting to opposition and instead suggests letting proposals be tested by time. Ultimately, a pastor must stand tall as a leader, minister to the church, and rely on God's help for every difficult situation.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

In this Advent episode, Dr. Scott Sherwood of Kansas City First Church of the Nazarene explores the theme of Hope. Describing the season as an "adventure," he invites listeners to look back at the Incarnation and forward to the Second Coming. Sherwood contrasts wishful thinking with biblical hope, which Romans 5 describes as the product of suffering, perseverance, and character. Ultimately, he challenges us to realize that hope isn't just something we find, but something we become through the presence of Christ.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Send us a textWith a recent video - not sure if it's fake or real - that's going viral on socials of a massive, mythic bird - had to know more about thunderbirds. We called hydroplanes that raced on the Columbia River thunderbirds for their massive roar and crazy wake. There were hotels named Thunderbird Lodge in Washington state, too. And I grew up a Seahawks fan whose logo is a riff and a nod to the mighty thunderbird as depicted on Northwest tribe totems. The thunderbird means something different to each tribe, and tribe member.

This episode features Dr. Samuel Young, former General Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, on the fundamental issues of stewardship and faithful giving. Dr. Young asserts that the prime motivation for stewardship is Calvary, arguing that because of God's sacrifice in Jesus Christ, anything He asks is reasonable. He clarifies that the tithe is a method to be given, not a legalism to be taught. The discussion emphasizes that stewardship must have its roots in spiritual commitment and a pure heart. Dr. Young advises that pastors should speak definitely on giving once a year and encourages a generous spirit. Ultimately, faithful stewardship rests on recognizing that God is our Creator and the true owner.   To purchase Hope of All the Earth by David Gilmour, click here.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

To celebrate 10 years of the English with Kirsty podcast, I'm creating a 10-part series to celebrate 10 different forms that learning can take.The final part of the series is about learning through Volunteering. I had a number of people who wanted to be involved, so in the end I decided to split this into three conversations. The third and final part is with Colette Myler, whom I met back in 2021 when we were attending some of the same international networking events together.What did we talk about?I really wanted to show some of the different ways in which people can be volunteers, so I spoke with people doing very different roles. We talked about: Colette's story – why she decided to volunteer and which organisations she chose. The skills and knowledge that Colette brings to her volunteering roles and some of the new skills that she's gained over the years Some of the things that Colette has learned through her volunteering experiences – as well as some of the people whom she's met along the way. How volunteering and being part of the community are part of the balance we need – and how this balance has more components than just our work and the rest of our life Tips for getting started.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Kerry Burnight, Gerontologist, Chief Gerontologist, New York Times best-selling author, and researcher. They explore what it truly means to age well, focusing less on resisting the passage of time and more on embracing vitality, curiosity, and joy throughout life's second half.Dr. Burnight explains why the common “decline” mindset around aging misses the full story. She shares research showing that meaningful growth, strong social connections, adaptability, and a sense of giving can shape both how long and how well we live. Dr. Burnight offers practical examples for building these habits, from maintaining friendships across generations to finding purpose in everyday acts.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Burnight urges listeners to rethink their beliefs about aging and to prepare for later life with intention. She shows that nurturing joy and purpose is just as important as physical health, and that everyone can take steps to build a more satisfying, resilient, and joyful future. Guest-at-a-Glance

Illich begins his analysis by establishing the goal of the medieval reader, which Chapter 1 (Danny Thomas) shows is Wisdom, or the First Cause. This wisdom isn't relative; it's a fixed truth, much like the huge 'S' Danny is pointing at. It rests on sentences that carry their own authority, detached from the writer—the floating sentence. But how does one acquire this fixed wisdom? Chapter 2 (Nick Nolte) answers this by stressing the necessity of internal Order and Memory. Nolte's desperate need for bread shows the necessity of internalizing the text's objective order—the reader must literally press their will, like Nolte pressing his gown, into the fixed structural lattice of the text. Finally, Chapter 3 (Mickey Mouse) reveals the practical method required for this integration: Monastic Reading. The communal act of making a meal, represented by Mickey, becomes the physical, lifelong discipline of 'chewing' the text (ruminatio), transforming the reader until they literally become the text, just as Mickey's dress transforms into verses."#KennelKelp,#HolisticHealth,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#ReadingSmarter,#BillHolt,#GrandpaBill,#Trivium,#MemoryPalace,#MajorSystem,#LifelongLearning,

In this March 1981 address, General Superintendent Orville Jenkins discusses the spiritual requirements for effective preaching for holiness ministers. He states that a minister's life must be one of unreservedly giving oneself to the indwelling Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill them with joy and victory so they can preach with power and anointing. Jenkins uses the Apostle Paul as the ultimate example, noting that Paul's "outward man" was "perishing" from his intense suffering and physical struggles as a "vessel of clay". However, Paul's "inward man" was being renewed day by day through the "supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ". This daily spiritual renewal, Jenkins concludes, is God's plan for every spirit-filled minister. Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.  

In this episode of Why Distance Learning, hosts Seth Fleischauer, Allyson Mitchell and Tami Moehring welcome Pat Cassella—Executive Director of the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA), VP of Worldwide Sales at VDO360, and founder of ETC Video. Pat traces the evolution of video technology in education, healthcare, government, and corporate training—and offers bold predictions about what's next.Why This MattersEducators are flooded with tools but lack training, workflows, and staffing to use them well—especially in hybrid settings where engaging in-person and remote learners simultaneously feels impossible. K-12 systems in particular face understaffing, turnover, and abandoned tech.How to Make It WorkPat argues for purpose-built technology aligned to teacher workflows and deliberate pedagogy for virtual/hybrid environments. The big shift: infrastructure is now easy—the work is pedagogical. He also highlights flexible learning models (including micro-credentialing) that expand choice for learners across K-12, higher ed, and the workforce.“You don't want technology for the sake of technology. It has to have a purpose—and fit the teacher's workflow.” “Without distance learning, you're limiting student choices. Flexibility is what today's learners demand.”Put It Into PracticeAudit for Purpose & Fit: Map your most-used teaching routines. Keep/choose tools that reduce steps in those routines and increase engagement for both in-person and remote learners.Train for Hybrid: Treat hybrid as its own modality. Build camera/mic placement, interaction norms, and roles (e.g., a student facilitator) into lesson plans.Offer Flexible Paths: Pilot a micro-credential or short, skills-focused module to give students on-ramps that match their time, goals, and circumstances.Episode LinksUnited States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) — mission, programs, and communityNational Distance Learning Week (NDLW) — first full week of November; explore events and sessions mentioned in the episodeVDO360 — video collaboration cameras and solutionsETC Video — educational technology consultingCILC Podcast Hub — past episodes, resources, and community: cilc.org/podcastHost LinksDiscover more virtual learning opportunities and resources at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson Mitchell.Banyan Global Learning provides meaningful global learning experiences that prepare students across the globe for success in an interconnected world.

Join us in a compelling conversation with Chip Conley, renowned entrepreneur and bestselling author, who shares his transformative insights on embracing the midlife journey. Drawing from his pivotal experiences at Airbnb and his groundbreaking work with the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), we explore how Chip's latest book, "Learning to Love Midlife," challenges ageist stereotypes and redefines midlife as a time for renewal and growth.Redefining what it means to be a "modern elder," Chip shares his unique perspective on combining wisdom with curiosity.

Drawing from spiritual and philosophical insights, we discuss how older generations can impart wisdom while embracing new purposes, and how younger generations can navigate the complexities of an AI-driven world. We delve into the importance of understanding one's life story and finding one's "ikigai," a harmonious blend of passion, proficiency, reward, and necessity.

Eugene Stowe addresses the critical relationship between church growth and the quality of its membership. He shares an incident where a pastor gently deferred a new convert's request to join immediately, insisting she attend the membership training class first. The core message is that a strong church demands qualified members; pastors must not compromise standards or build with "inferior material" for the sake of numbers. Training should cover church beliefs, ethical standards, and entire sanctification, ensuring new members are truly ready to accept the church's manual position. The goal is enduring quality, not statistical casualties.   *This appeared on the Ministers' Tape Club in September of 1979 as the "state of the church" segment given by the General Superintendents.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.
