In the latest episode of Experts in Sport, Dr Luke Roberts, author of Leading Schools and Sustaining Innovation: How to Think Big and Differently in Complex Systems, joins host Martin Foster to discuss systems change.If you've been involved in the sport, physical activity, health, education, business, or any other sector, you'll likely have heard people talk about systems change. You may have seen attempts to create change, but more often than not, the outcomes don't match expectations.In today's podcast, we explore what systems change really means. We begin by defining the concept and discussing the common challenges people face when trying to bring about meaningful change, using real-world examples. We then shift focus to what is required to create and sustain systems change over time.We hope this episode inspires anyone looking to make a positive impact and become a systems change leader of the future.Intros: 0:00What is Systems Change?: 3:42Purpose of the system: 10:32Examples: 15:45Systems Mapping: 29:32Getting the system ready for change: 36:00Maintain and Sustain: 42:23Changing the icing not the cake: 45:35What's next?: 52:24

My Story Talk 15 Ministry at Colchester 1962-68 Part 3 Welcome to Talk 15 in our series where I am reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Today is the final talk about our ministry in Colchester between 1962 and 1968. These were the first few years of our married life and so far I have shared with you about the birth of our first two children, our housing, employment, holidays and transport.   We have talked about the growth of the church and the reasons for it, testified to an outstanding miracle, explained how I got to know more about Assemblies of God, and how God called me to give up my teaching job and go into full-time ministry.   Today I'll be sharing first how this led me into a wider ministry, and concluding with two important lessons I felt God was beginning to teach me.   A wider ministry – the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship If I had thought initially that God's purpose in leading me into full-time ministry was just so that I could give more time to the local church, I was soon to learn otherwise. It certainly did that, but I soon began to receive invitations to preach in churches at weekend conventions, and, more significantly, to speak in Coleford at a National Day School Teachers' Conference on the relevance of the baptism in the Holy Spirit in day school teaching today.   It was there I met members of the AoG Home Missions Council and the National Youth Council who, if I remember correctly, had jointly organised the conference. The invitation came, no doubt, not only because I was a pastor who had until recently been a schoolteacher, but also because of my ministry in praying for people to receive the baptism and my role in the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship.   I have already mentioned how, while I was at Oxford, I was asked to share my testimony at the AoG National Youth Rally held in the Birmingham Town Hall and to contribute an article in Redemption Tidings entitled Pentecost in Oxford University. So I was by no means unknown in the wider fellowship, and it was probably not surprising that, when Richard Bolt resigned as Travelling Secretary of the SPF, I should be asked to take over his role of visiting colleges and universities, preaching and praying for students to be filled with the Spirit, which of course would not have been possible if I had remained in school teaching.   Universities where I conducted meetings on those early SPF travels included Oxford, Cambridge, Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham, Durham, and Newcastle. Later, after I had left Colchester, I also preached in the University of Louvain (Leuven) in Belgium, and in 1972 in the majority of universities in the state of Illinois.   The purpose of all these meetings was to tell people about the baptism in the Spirit, explain why it was biblical, and to pray for them to receive as I laid hands on them at the close of the gathering. Among the many who received were the chaplain of Queen's College, Cambridge, and William Kay a student at Trinity College, Oxford, who had come to Christ at a Billy Graham meeting in London.   Valentine Cunningham, a student at Keble College, and the son of an AoG pastor, invited William to a meeting he had organised where I was to preach on the baptism in the Spirit. After he graduated he became a member of my church in Basingstoke, a close friend, a lecturer at Mattersey Hall Bible College, and a university professor who has contributed much to Pentecostal education around the world.   Val Cunningham went on to become Professor of English at Oxford and was a great help to me when I wrote Be Filled with the Spirit, a booklet published by the SPF, which proved to be the springboard for my ministry as an author.   Other former SPF members who became professors were John Miles and Michael Collins. John, after spending some years as a missionary in Congo became Professor of French at Wheaton, and Michael, after serving as SPF General Secretary, became Professor of Engineering at City University, London.   He was succeeded as SPF General Secretary by Andrew Parfitt, who after spending years in school teaching, became an AoG minister, as did Jeff Clarke who received the baptism under my ministry while he was a student at Oxford, and David Littlewood who received while was a student at Essex.   It is clear from all this that during the course of my lifetime Pentecostals have moved on from being suspicious of higher education to embracing it and playing an active role within it. This will become even clearer when we consider in a later talk the educational developments in our Bible Colleges.   Lessons I learnt at Colchester Of course, I myself had never been to Bible College. And although I had received excellent teaching from my father and from Leslie Moxham, my pastor at Elm Park Baptist, I had received no formal training for ministry, and back then there was no provision in Assemblies of God for supervision from a more experienced minister. So I was very much learning on the job and was conscious of my need for the guidance, help, and the enabling of the Holy Spirit.   But my experience at Colchester taught me many lessons. The most significant of these was learning to trust God for our needs after I had relinquished my secular employment, which I have already mentioned. But there were two other areas the importance of which I began to understand more clearly. These were:   o   the nature of the ministry God had given me o   the importance of a balanced theology of healing.        The nature of the ministry God had given me In my teens I had been greatly impressed by the ministry of Billy Graham. I had seen thousands of people walk forward in response to his appeals for salvation. Surely this kind of evangelism must be the answer and, when I felt the call to the ministry at the age of 16, I soon began to have dreams of becoming an evangelist. Later, after I was baptised in the Spirit, I came to see the importance of healing in evangelism and, as I have mentioned previously, was greatly influenced by Richard Bolt who was seeing remarkable healings in his evangelistic crusades.  And at that time the American Pentecostal evangelist T. L. Osborn had made his books on healing available to students free of charge and I had read them avidly.   So I now wanted to be a healing evangelist, a desire which was evident in the two evangelistic and healing missions I conducted at Colchester. And that was why, although I shared with others the responsibility of preaching and teaching on Sunday mornings and midweek Bible Studies, I always did the preaching at the Sunday evening Gospel Service.   But when Harold Womersley, veteran missionary of the Congo Evangelisitc Mission visited us on itinerary, he asked me – purely out of interest, I think – about what I was teaching at our Bible Study meetings. And when I told him that, when it was my turn, I just gave whatever word the Lord had put on my heart, he graciously suggested that as the pastor it was my responsibility the feed the flock by regular and systematic teaching of the truths of God's word.   This, I think, would have been at about the time that I had given up my school teaching job, and so, taking his words to heart, I set about planning various series of weekly Bible studies, and I discovered that I really enjoyed it and, to my surprise, so did those who came to hear me. It was gradually dawning on me that my primary ministry was not to be evangelism – though I have not been totally unsuccessful in that area – but teaching.   Of course, I had no idea then how that teaching gift would eventually be expressed not only in churches, but also as a Bible College principal and as a writer. But that brings me to another closely related lesson I began to learn at Colchester, the importance of a biblically balanced doctrine of healing.   The importance of a balanced theology of healing As I mentioned at the beginning of this series, ever since my father told me of the healing of my aunt who had been deaf and dumb from birth, I have always believed that God still works miracles of healing today. I grew up with the belief that everyone could be healed if only they had enough faith and that the lack of miracles today was entirely due to lack of faith.   This understanding was confirmed by the teaching of Richard Bolt and the books of T.L.Osborn and was directly related to the doctrine that Jesus died not only for our sins, but for our sicknesses too. We can claim our healing in just the same way as we can claim forgiveness of sins, and all because Jesus died for us. I embraced this teaching wholeheartedly, and that is what I preached.   But my experience as a pastor in Colchester didn't always seem to confirm this doctrine. It was great when we saw people healed, but what could I say to those who were not? Did I really have to tell them that the reason they were not healed was lack of faith, or that there must be some unconfessed sin in their life? And whereas this might apply in some cases, it surely was not true of all?   I simply could not believe, for example, that when Jack Joliffe was diagnosed with a cancer that first disfigured him and eventually destroyed him, it happened because of lack of faith or some secret sin. I knew him too well. He was a godly man, full of faith, and an elder of our church. It's all too easy for evangelists to preach these doctrines and then move on, while pastors are left with the care of Christians who have not been healed and have been wounded by the teaching that if they are sick it is somehow their fault.   But it is not my intention in this talk to repeat what I have already said at length elsewhere. My rejection of this view is comprehensively explained in my Ph.D. thesis, Healing and the Atonement, where I argue that, although there is a sense in which healing may rightly be understood to be in the atonement, it is not true to say that Jesus died for our sicknesses in exactly they same way that he died for our sins. I have also explained this in my book Just a Taste of Heaven – a biblical and balanced approach to God's healing power, which is available from my website www.davidpetts.org.   I simply mention it here because it was at Colchester that I began to question what I had previously believed about healing. Of course, we mustn't build our doctrine on our experience, but if our experience doesn't tally with our doctrine it's always good to consider whether we've understood the scriptures correctly.   So I was learning important lessons at Colchester which were to stand me in good stead for the next ten years when we would be pastoring the assembly in Basingstoke. Life is a continuing process of learning and sometimes unlearning, and Basingstoke was no exception. Next time I'll begin by telling you how we came to move there.

On today's podcast we have Ben Ryan.   Ben is the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in history. He's the only coach to have won Continental, World, and Olympic titles, and has been working at the pinnacle of international sport for over two decades and counting. His transformative leadership turned the Fiji Rugby Sevens team into a global powerhouse. Under his guidance, they went on to win back-to-back World Series titles and, most notably, Olympic gold at the 2016 Rio Summer Games - Fiji's first ever Olympic medal.   The story is insane - and no surprise to me, there's a movie to document it soon. As a leader, Ben revolutionised the way the team embraced culture, connection, standards, and mental preparation - ensuring his players thrived both as athletes, and as individuals. His groundbreaking work in Fiji earned him the nation's highest civilian honour: the Companion of the Order of Fiji.    He is currently in his third season as Performance Director at Brentford FC, playing in the Premier League - a club known for doing things differently. They are going from strength to strength, becoming perhaps the most talked about team in world sport, and for whom Ben is a lifelong fan. He was also an impressive athlete himself, a graduate of both Loughborough and Cambridge, a great human being, and a true leader in human performance.   In this episode, we discuss: The Fiji story, from hurricanes, dictators, and enforcing discipline, to the part I found most fascinating: the internal challenges Ben had to overcome to transition from aspiring leader to world-class leader.   I hope you enjoy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------   Find Ben https://www.instagram.com/benryan7s/ https://x.com/benjaminryan    Find James: https://www.linkedin.com/in/acceleratingexcellence/ https://www.instagram.com/jamesaking_/ https://jamesaking.com/   The Mindset App: While the app is under development, we have decided to provide access to the full content for free on YouTube for a limited time.

N. Loughborough cerró la puerta de su habitación en San Francisco y se encaminó hacia la iglesia. Había pasado la mayor parte de la noche anterior orando por su amigo y compañero de trabajo, el evangelista M. E. Cornell. Ese día iban a disciplinar al hermano Cornell. El pastor Loughborough había intentado mostrarle su error, pero el hermano Cornell persistía en afirmar que tenía derecho a hacer lo que mejor le parecía. Este conflicto preocupaba al pastor Loughborough, pues temía que la iglesia se dividiera en dos facciones debido a este problema. Al llegar a la calle, el pastor Loughborough se sorprendió al encontrar al hermano Comen llorando. — Yo no voy a ir a la reunión —le dijo.— ¿Cómo? ¿No vas a ir a la reunión en la que se tratará tu caso? —le preguntó el pastor desconcertado.— Lo sé —respondió el hermano Cornell—. Reconozco que he estado equivocado. Aquí está la carta en la que confieso mi error, la he escrito yo mismo. Por favor, léela ante la congregación.— ¿Y qué te hizo cambiar de esa manera? —le preguntó el pastor.— Fui al correo anoche —explicó el hermano Cornell—. Encontré una carta de la señora White. Léela y avisa a la gente que la acepto como testimonio de Dios y que me arrepiento. Cuando se leyó la carta de Elena G. de White, todos se asombraron de que hubiera llegado en un momento tan oportuno. Aquel 18 de enero, la señora White despertó con la certeza de que debía escribir de inmediato al hermano Cornell. Sin perder tiempo, redactó la carta y envió a su hijo Edson al correo para que la colocara en el saco de correspondencia del primer envío del día. Nueve días después, la carta llegó a San Francisco cuando más se necesitaba. El hermano Cornell, humildemente, aceptó la reprensión por su conducta errónea. Y tú, ¿cómo reaccionas cuando recibes una corrección de parte de Dios o de alguien que quiere tu bien? ¿Te resistes o la aceptas con humildad?

Today's conversation is with a good friend of mine. Paul Ince, a.k.a. BizPaul, is the owner and founder of LikeMind Media, a content marketing agency in Loughborough, UK, as well as the founder of the MarketEd Live conference.We talk about how Paul Ince, regular human, became Biz Paul, content marketing thought leader, back in the early days of social media. We also talk about being in touch with the things that light you up about what you do, and the challenges that can come along with expansion, especially if what your clients are really buying is you.Finally, we get into my favorite thing about a personal brand: no matter what it is that you do, other people do it too, so what really makes you the right person for someone to work with? Because it's not about what you deliver. It's about what you personally bring to the table–and that, of course, is your personal brand.A few of the things we hit in today's episode:Working for a national technology company How the 2008 Beijing Olympic games indirectly led to @bizpaul Becoming a content creator in the tech space“I had no intention of setting up a business…”Trying to sell an app people weren't ready for……and deciding to focus on closing that knowledge gap insteadPaul's first cringey business cardPaul's first cringey pitch deck (it worked!)Not the footballerHow events changed the gameMarketEd LiveStarting to take on helpBalancing BizPaul and LikeMind Media“I don't really want to be known as the funky-shirted marketing guy…”What keeps him in the gameWhat he truly deliversWhat makes someone a fit—or not a fit⏤or LikeMind MediaWhat people are really buying into when it comes to BizPaul“Maybe it's a Gen X thing.

At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Dan Wiffen became the first Irish swimmer to win a gold medal in swimming since 1996. After winning double distance gold at the 2024 World Championships earlier this year, the Loughborough resident swam a gutsy race in the 800 free and came out on top ahead of USA's defending champion, Bobby Finke. Wiffen explains the mindset that helped him achieve this feat and how he celebrated afterward. The distance specialist also debriefs his first (and last) foray into open water after competing in the 10k race in the Seine River.

Senos upę Paryžiaus olimpinių žaidynių atidarymui organizatoriai pasirinko norėdami padaryti įspūdį žiūrovams. Dėl tos pačios priežasties čia suplanuotos ir plaukimo atviruose vandens telkiniuose rungtynės. Triatlonininkai ir maratono plaukikai startavo nuo Eliziejaus laukus su Invalidų rūmais ir Eifelio bokštu jungiančio Aleksandro III-iojo tilto – labiau žadą atimančią sporto areną būtų sunku ir įsivaizduoti.Bet likus mėnesiui iki žaidynių, upė vis dar buvo per daug užteršta, kad joje būtų leidžiama varžytis – fekalijose randamų žarnyno bakterijų kiekis 10 kartų viršijo normas.Siekdami pagerinti Senos būklę, Paryžiaus nuotekų sistemos atnaujinimui, vandens valymo ir saugojimo įrenginių statybai prancūzai išleido neveik 1,5 mlrd. eurų. Bet dėl klimato kaitos vis dažnėjančios liūtys vis dar apkrauna sostinės nuotekų tinklą, dėl kurio nevalytas nuotekas kartais tenka išleisti tiesiai į upę.Olimpinių žaidynių atidarymo ceremonijos dalyvius merkusi liūtis nežadėjo nieko gero. Dėl prastos vandens būklės organizatoriams teko atšaukinėti plaukikų treniruotes ir keisti rungčių grafiką. Užuot džiaugęsi iškovotais medaliais, sportininkai atsakinėjo į klausimus apie Senos užterštumą. Pasirodė pranešimų apie sportininkų negalavimus po rungtynių.Sporto ir ekologijos ryšius tyrinėjantis britų mokslininkas Jamie Wilks iš Loughborough universiteto Jungtinėje Karalystėje interviu LRT RADIJUI pažymi, kad tai – nauja realybė. Sąlygos sportininkams keičiasi kartu su besikeičiančiu klimatu ir mes privalėsime prisitaikyti bei susitaikyti su tuo, kad kai kurie dalykai jau yra nebepataisomi.Autorė Vaida Pilibaitytė

On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin gathers round the campfire with Oxfordshire local and host of The History of England podcast, David Crowther.Born in Loughborough over the border, David has lived in Oxfordshire for many years, giving him a perfect perspective on the county. That of someone who's familiar with it, but who sees it with a sense of perspective.Plus, in addition to being very funny, David is inclined to take the long view, having told the story of England from the Anglo Saxon period right on through to - at present - the English Civil War, via his much-loved podcast, which has been running for a whopping 13 years!Indeed, David is not just the creator and host of one of our favourite pods; he is a person who has championed Three Ravens since we launched.So, what better companion could we ask for to sit around the campfire and enjoy a chat?As such, we suggest you make a cup of tea, or pour a glass of something stronger, and join us for a conversation which ranges from being bopped on the head with pigs' bladders to mistaking Morris Men for fox hunters.Discussions of the differences between history and literature, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Henry VIII, and the ways in which the landscape of Oxfordshire has shaped the county's history.Not to mention how both human action and Roman horse manure have left indelible marks on England which enrich our culture.Even if we don't fully understand how...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Un equipo de investigadores británicos de la universidad de Loughborough descubrió por qué las galletas se rompen tan fácilmente, lo que tantas molestias causa a la hora de tomar el té. Sus resultados fueron publicados por la revista Measurement Science and Technology. Les aseguro que, a pesar de lo jocoso del tema, es ciencia seria. La perspicaz capacidad observadora de los investigadores les permitió percatarse de que las galletas se enfrían y se dieron cuenta también de que este enfriamiento no se produce por igual en todas las partes de la galleta. Esto causa que se desarrollen grietas en la superficie o interior de la galleta que, al menor golpe, pueden causar que la galleta se rompa. De ahí la dificultad de los fabricantes para empaquetar galletas enteras.

Esto causa que se desarrollen grietas en la superficie o interior de la galleta que, al menor golpe, pueden causar que la galleta se rompa. De ahí la dificultad de los fabricantes para empaquetar galletas enteras.

Not too long ago an old clip surfaced of Peter Falk on David Letterman, in which he told an intriguing tale about recording a special Cold War message for Romanian state television. The clip went viral and got our attention — but was it actually true? Did a fictional American detective really help quell a communist revolt? We donned the proverbial raincoat and started sleuthing—at which point Falk's late night anecdote cracked open into an intricate geopolitical saga that stretches from DC to Bucharest; from a Los Angeles hotel room to the palatial estate of a despot. It's a story that involves dueling ideologies, dozens of diplomats, and millions of viewers. It's an honest-to-goodness cold war caper about American soft power behind the iron curtain, and it's so involved it's going to take two episodes to solve.   This podcast was written by Willa Paskin, who produces Decoder Ring with Katie Shepherd.
