Reese Barton, a devoted Christian and former law enforcement professional was born and raised in the vibrant city of Detroit, Michigan. As the youngest of two children, Reese's early years were shaped by the teachings of God, and he accepted Christ as his saviour at the tender age of seven. This spiritual foundation became a constant presence in his life, guiding him through the ups and downs ahead.An avid reader and writer from a young age, Reese's educational journey took him into the realm of criminal justice after high school. He earned his AAS from Schoolcraft College and furthered his academic pursuits with a BS and MSBA from Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan. In June of 2018, he proudly graduated from the prestigious Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command, marking a significant milestone in his law enforcement career.With over 26 years of dedicated service, Reese climbed the ranks to retire as a respected police lieutenant on July 1, 2022. Throughout his career, God remained a steadfast companion, but it was in recent years that Reese deepened his understanding of the importance of a daily relationship with Christ. He discovered that building a solid foundation through daily Bible reading and prayer was the key to experiencing God's grace, love, and forgiveness.Reese rekindled his passion for writing post-retirement, embarking on a new chapter in his life. He now channels his creativity into a series of Christian fiction novels, each highlighting different facets of faith. Grounded in the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord, Reese's fictional stories echo the biblical wisdom that those who "wait on the Lord shall renew their strength."Salvation Blue, Reese's debut novel, kicks off this inspiring series, emphasizing that salvation is the foundational step toward a faith-based life. Beyond his literary pursuits, Reese's personal life is equally fulfilling. He met his beloved wife, Crystal, at Dunkin Donuts, and they joyously tied the knot in August 2008. Their home is filled with love, two spoiled German shepherds, and the laughter of their two-year-old grandson, who never fails to bring joy.In their free time, Reese and Crystal indulge in their shared passions, including travelling, exploring northern Michigan wine country, and cheering for Detroit sports teams. An avid sports fan himself, Reese also enjoys playing golf. As he continues to explore the limitless facets of faith through his writing, Reese Barton remains a testament to a life guided by God, family, and the pursuit of purpose. Hosted on Acast.

The healthcare industry continues to become more and more tech savvy. Technologies like Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence can help drive significant improvements in healthcare and with organizations like Leapfrog Group weighing in on hospital standards and ratings with a variety of scoring metrics, healthcare facilities continue to innovate. Perhaps one of the most important details, often overlooked in the face of shiny new tools, is the need for facilities to continue to improve upon their clinical documentation and improve patient outcome. But should specialists query if there is no direct impact?On this episode of Iodine Intelligence -Empowering Intelligent Care, host Lauren Hickey chats with Chief Clinical Strategist at Iodine, Fran Jurcak, about the importance of queries for improving patient outcomes and expectations. Hickey and Jurcak discuss... 1)Calculating impacts to queries 2)How to accurately represent every patient 3)Why it is important to identify risks and outcomes“I think the challenge is, as we figure out ways to better automate and create efficiency, it isn't so much about the volume of queries or the actual number of queries but maybe more about the process by which they have to answer them, that maybe we could potentially address so that it is easier,” said Jurcak.Jurcak has been with Iodine for over six years, and has held numerous Director positions in the healthcare environment and was the Assistant Professor in the nursing program at Madonna University for more than 14 years. She holds her BSN in Nursing from the University of Michigan and her MSN in Nursing from Wayne State University.

Hosts Emily Mentock and Fr. Patrick Gonyeau welcome Deacon Fred Billotto, who has been propelled into service of the Gospel by a great love for the laity and docility to the Holy Spirit. Listen in as Dcn. Fred shares about his discernment to become a permanent deacon, the impact of investing in his parish community, the role of scripture in his life, and finally his dreams for the future. Our God-given missions are not simply places we pour out our time and energy, but rather, they are the places God pours his life and grace into our hearts. Take a listen! Show Notes: (00:19) Emily and Fr. Patrick discuss good things happening in their lives. Emily mentions the LA Religious Educators Congress in Anaheim, CA. They discuss the gift of sharing the Gospel with a smile. Fr. Patrick has loved participating in parish missions recently. He reflects on the beauty of having a full church at night, “This isn't Sunday morning. People are coming because they want more. They're hungry and thirsty for the Lord.” (05:25) Emily introduces this episode's guest Dcn. Fred Billotto, who is a deacon of the Archdiocese of Detroit, serving at Our Lady of Victory in Northville. He also serves the Archdiocese of Detroit through writing weekly Gospel reflections. Dcn. Fred grew up Catholic, and was taught by religious in early education. “I had faith, but I didn't always live it out.” He did not have an “ah ha” moment with the Lord but throughout his life felt called to committed discipleship. He felt discernment helped him navigate marrying early, and choosing a job that could support his large family. (11:40) Dcn. Fred shares about his inspirations in the faith. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis de Sales have helped to make him aware of the possibility of having a relationship with God. Our guest reflects on the slow but steady, gradual growth that the Lord has invited him to throughout his life. Dcn. Fred tells us about how spiritual growth has occurred in his family life. “When you're married and have kids, you have to give yourself away. It's like a virtue factory.” Emily makes this point that vocations are also where God calls you to receive his love. “It's not just give, give, give.” (20:18) “Married life is a vocation!” Emily invites Dcn. Fed to share about how his discernment has looked in his movement toward marriage and the permanent diaconate. Discernment with marriage was focused on timing and the practicals of a job. Discernment for the diaconate was about commitment and he and his wife discerning together. (24:40) How he serves: Dcn. Fed and his wife invest in engaged couples in his parish by hosting “wine and pizza” — when Dcn. Fred and his wife invited couples preparing for marriage to their home, and this transformed the meetings into times to share faith and grow. Emily affirms the importance of relationship and witness in sharing the Gospel and how Dcn. Fred and his wife are doing this through hosting these “wine and pizza” nights. (29:30) Virtue Factory: Emily points out that Dr. Fred's experience shows that not only is his marriage a source of holiness for him, but also his vocation to serve as a permanent deacon is an inflow of grace for the deacon. These experiences allow grace to flow through him, and then back to him. He is blessed through giving. God's mission fills us. (31:31) Love of the Word: Dcn. Fred teaches on the Gospels at Madonna University. Dcn. Fred discusses how the Holy Spirit moves him to preach instead of teach in the classroom. Emily shares her personal experience of writing assignments in her high school scripture class that opened her heart to encountering God. (38:00) What is your dream? Dcn. Fred speaks of a dream to lead an apostolate that brings the world's attention to the power of living a lay life. He wants to ennoble other couples and families to live their vocations fully and frutifully.. He feels this reality is so often overlooked and undervalued. But he sees this powerful understanding of lay life to have the potential to transform our Church. (40:40) Dcn. Fred closes in prayer, asking the Lord to allow us to live in his joy and his peace. He asks the Lord to remind us that when we ask, we receive, when we seek, we find, and when we knock, doors are opened. Thanks for listening!

Have you ever wondered how an instructor is trained? Are you nervous about getting a psycho instructor who's secretly (or maybe, not-so-secretly) trying to make sure you have millions of babies? Do you wonder what a reporting structure looks like if you need to address unethical issues with your instructor? Oh, this episode is for you! I'm excited to be joined by Lauren Vitale, co-founder of Whole Mission, an online NFP education service, registered nurse, and Marquette Method instructor. We talk about the ethics of FA/NFP instructors, how an FA/NFP instructor is supposed to work, what are red flags to look out for in an instructor, hat to do if you think your instructor is behaving inappropriately, and how to break-up with an instructor if it's not a good fit. Lauren shares so much practical insight and gives great tips about how you can have a GREAT instructor relationship and find freedom in charting by avoiding the crazies and knowing what to look for when you're trying to find an instructor that works for you.

Coach Charlie HenryIn this episode, you'll hear from Charlie Henry. Coach Henry is currently an assistant coach for Coach Nate Oats at the University of Alabama. Coach Charlie is in year three with this top twenty-five nationally-ranked basketball program. As you soon will hear, Coach Nate Oats gave Coach Henry his first start in coaching. Coach Oats offered Coach Henry an assistant position at Romulus High School right after his playing days ended at Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan. However, Charlie Henry knew that he wanted to be a coach at the tender age of five years old. Growing up and watching his dad, Chuck, coach his high school team, Charlie's first love has always been coaching. Right after getting his feet wet in the coaching profession, Coach Henry immediately set forth on an action packed coaching journey. Quite simply, his ten-year resume is absolutely incredible: Graduate Assistant at Utah for Coach Jim Boylen. Video intern for Coach Frank Vogel at the Indiana Pacers. Graduate Assistant, Player Development, and Assistant Coach for Coach Fred Hoiberg at Iowa State. Oh by the way, at the time, Coach Henry was the youngest assistant coach in the Big 12. Assistant Coach for Coach Fred Hoiberg with the Chicago Bulls. And, finally, Head Coach of the Windy City Bulls in the G-League. This is a young assistant coach who is destined to be a Division I head coach very soon. However, nothing in this podcast is about Coach Henry. Charlie is so complimentary of the Head Coaches that he has learned under and the co-workers that he has also had the pleasure to work alongside. In addition, this conversation is an incredible inside look at Coach Nate Oats and his Alabama basketball program. The amount of ownership that Coach Oats gives his staff is so eye opening. Finally, so much of this podcast is about serving. Whether it is preparing his players to play a game or helping his players get better, Coach Henry is determined to help his players become the best version of themselves. And, trust me, we are all going to be better coaches and leaders after listening to this future head coach.Follow Coach Charlie Henry @Charlie_Henry_Follow Tell Me Your Story Coach @CoachKevinDro Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

In addition, Coach Noel has recruited and developed six All-Americans. However, as you soon will hear, this is a product of constant hard work. Coach Noel is the epitome of an active learner. He is constantly developing and evolving as a head coach and leader. His “Madonna Game Flywheel” and “Loop of Doom “ principles that he created during the pandemic is simply incredible. Specifically, the detail of how he created this concept of creating momentum from one possession to the next is so great. Coach Noel has so many excellent thoughts on leadership for young coaches. All of us are going to be sprinting to our local book store to buy a certain tennis book. Yep, wait until you hear Coach Noel break this down. Do you still dream about certain goals in your life? Are you writing down these dreams? And are you challenging your players to write down their dreams? Coach Noel tackles something that truly has not been addressed on the podcast. Finally, Coach Noel so eloquently ends the podcast with a letter to a younger self. It is so well thought and articulated beautifully. This is fifty five minutes of high level coaching coming your way! Follow Coach Noel Emenhiser @NoelEmenhiserFollow Tell Me Your Story Coach @CoachKevinDro Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

It was also during this time, she started teaching high school special education in Farmington Public Schools.She took a leap of faith and quit her job after being a special education teacher for 20 years when a buy-out was offered at the school district she worked at. Selling her family home of twenty years, drawing money from her retirement, and downsizing her life allowed Living & Learning to be born.We talk about how they found the property for their new headquarters and the series of miracles it took to move into this new facility that has allowed them to make an incredible impact on the people in their community and grow their programs.It was the Don Massey Cadillac manion.

Michigan St. U. peeps may remember John Magee. John held several positions at the U, including Exec Staff Assistant, College of Arts and Letters, and staff assistant in Ag & Nat Resources. Today, John serves as Assistant VP & Chief International Officer at Madonna University, Lavonia, MI. John and I continue to get together (he introduced me to his brother Jim along the way), and we talk about a range of issues. One issue (the focus here) is what John and Jim (also an internationalist) have learned about working internationally. "It's not about the deal," they argue, and it's certainly not about mining other countries for money and students. Rather, it's about establishing meaningful relationships and creating partnerships that benefit all parties involved. Not earth-shattering, you say? Well...ego, hubris, arrogance, and institutional self-centeredness (what another colleague calls "The Organization First" syndrome) make it more difficult (than easier) to put into practice. So here are John and Jim on "It's Not About the Deal."

In this episode of The Paralegal Voice, Vicki Voisin interviews Madonna University paralegal professor Mary Meinzinger Urisko, J.D. about how paralegal education has changed, the programs and systems at Madonna, and best practices for using your education to get a job. Urisko talks about how online courses expand the geographical reach of paralegal education and have improved with podcasts, videos, and blogs. However, she explains, the ABA doesn't approve programs done entirely online; there is a great benefit to the networking and discussions that come from a physical classroom. Urisko discusses how her legal research courses include using LexisNexis and Westlaw, people and assets found online, and legal writing. In order to get a job, Urisko recommends that students list skills acquired on their resumes, create a portfolio of their best works, and do internships or find any job in a law office. Many times, even an admin in a law office can create essential network opportunities with lawyers. Special thanks to our sponsors, Nala and ServeNow.

In our interview with HAZMAT Mike, he gave us 4 basic principles to follow as non-HAZMAT responders who may be presented with a HAZMAT situation. 1. Approach the incident from the upwind position. Imagine the chemicals are a fire, approach with the smoke blowing the opposite direction to your approach. 2. Protect yourself as much as possible using whatever your organization has such as gloves, goggles and respiratory protection when dealing with persons who are affected. 3. Be aware of the 'Site Security' such as taping off areas to keep other people out of the 'Hot Area'. 4. Identify and report the chemical that has been released. HAZMAT Mike has also developed an online 'HAZMAT Material Specialist' course. This course is the highest certification for hazardous materials responders in the USA. This certification allows HAZMAT Teams to advance in various Federal Levels and would be of great benefit to responders worldwide. It is offered through www.madonna.edu using the course code; OSH4180. To find out more about 'Scene Safety For The Non-HAZMAT Responder' and the 'HAZMAT Material Specialist' course - Pop on the kettle, take off the PPE, Recharge your SCBA Cylinder, throw the BSI gloves in the medical bin and sit back and enjoy the premier emergency response chat.
