This week, we head back to the 1800's to meet the man who would become known as Billy the Kid!  Born Henry McCarty in New York City, he eventually went west with his Mother and brother with stops in Indiana and Wichita before landing in Silver City New Mexico.  His mom died when he was just 14 and his stepdad abandoned him to head to California to start mining.  Henry's first criminal act was to steal food for which he served ten days in jail.  Later he went on to become a horse thief and a Regulator and fought in a conflict called the Lincoln County War.  He killed a corrupt Sheriff and his deputy and became fodder for tales of the Wild West and Newspapers, building a legend as a killer that it's possible he didn't earn.  We talk about his life, his death and the mysteries and surprises he left behind, including a possible survival under the name 'Brushy' Bill Cody!  All this and Arthur talks school and the Finch App and Laura and Dean discuss whether or not Jon Bon Jovi qualifies as butt rock in this special Young Guns episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

John writes to the church, and as an empathetic brother in the faith who has experience in suffering, he is an apt messenger of encouragement. But even greater than John is the One seen in John's vision - the living Word made flesh who holds the keys of Death and Hades and is alive forevermore. Because Jesus has partnered in our affliction, we can have eternal hope.

For this special episode, we are rejoined by Nashville SC legend Dax McCarty. We cover the upcoming international match at Geodis Park, Major League Soccer and of course Nashville SC.

Dr. Scott Mandalker has written extensively about the Law of One material that was channeled by Carla Reuckert from 1981 to 1984 in collaboration with Prof Don Elkins, a nuclear physicist, and Jim McCarty. In this short period of time, using a protocol designed by Elkins and McCarty, 106 sessions were recorded and published that detailed information about Earth history, galactic ethics, the Confederation of Planets, and wanderers.Dr. Mandalker discovered the Law of One material in 1987 and has ever since studied, written and taught about its rich content. The Law of One material is widely considered to be the gold standard for channeled extraterrestrial communications, and its contents continue to influence the understanding of those seeking answers to ET contact and ancient Earth history.Dr Mandalker shares his background, how he got to learn about the Law of One material, and discusses some of its profound answers to key questions concerning densities, higher consciousness, ascension, wanderers, walk-ins, Confederation of Planets, and Yahweh.His website is: www.scottmandelker.comJoin Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

First, it's National Toilet Paper Day! So we talk about how we will celebrate... Then, what happens when a school district shifts from traditional math instruction to collaborative learning? Holly McCarty, Coordinator of Curriculum Instruction at Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas, takes us behind the scenes of their successful CPM implementation journey.When Holly joined Shawnee Mission—a district serving 25,000 students across five high schools, five middle schools, and 34 elementary schools—she brought a vision for transforming mathematics instruction. Her goal was clear: move away from passive note-taking toward active learning environments where students develop lasting understanding through collaboration and problem-solving.The implementation story offers valuable insights for any district considering curriculum change. Rather than mandating adoption across all classrooms simultaneously, Holly invited teacher teams who were ready and willing to pioneer the approach. This organic strategy created momentum as educators across all five high schools voluntarily chose to implement CPM with their Integrated Math courses.What makes this story particularly compelling are the results. Holly shares a powerful anecdote about a high school student who, at the end of a Friday afternoon class, asked, "Can we do this again sometime? I was really engaged in what we were doing." Students have recognized the value of collaborative learning, with one noting that working together in teams "is just like real life."Teachers report feeling more energized teaching with CPM than with traditional methods. The curriculum provides comprehensive resources to implement research-based instructional strategies without the exhausting hunt for quality materials that often burns educators out.Whether you're a mathematics leader considering curriculum changes, a teacher curious about collaborative learning approaches, or an administrator supporting instructional shifts, this episode offers practical wisdom about implementation, professional development, and creating classrooms where both students and teachers thrive in their mathematical journey.Send Joel and Misty a message!The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

To wrap up our series on the meta-narrative of Scripture, we look at the bride of Christ - the Church. As is the pattern of history, God chooses to partner with this called-out group of humans to expand and establish His Kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven. Because of His great love, this Bride will be presented pure and holy to her groom, and this is where the eternal story actually begins.

As we continue looking at the meta-narrative of Scripture, we cover the gospels and how they reveal Jesus as the world's long-awaited King and Messiah. Jesus is King, and He is calling for Himself a people from every nation, tribe, and tongue.

In this 3-part series, we're covering the meta-narrative of the Scriptures. In this first sermon, we follow the story arc of God's old covenant people - the nation of Israel.

Sports, faith & fun with KJ McCarty takes center stage in this dynamic episode of The SLIDE Podcast. Host Coach Aaron is joined by co-host Big E (Easton Close) as they sit down with KJ, a standout multi-sport athlete from Alabama. Known for his mic'd-up Instagram reels and unshakable focus, KJ opens up about balancing football, baseball, and basketball—all while building a podcast with his dad focused on youth sports, faith, and family. Faith, Fun, and the Mic'd-Up Journey KJ's journey in youth sports is anything but typical. From highlight-reel grand slams to calling plays as a quarterback, he shares how each sport teaches him something new. However, it's his faith that keeps him grounded. “You’re playing the game not just to win,” he says, “but to have fun and live out your purpose.” That purpose shines through in his podcast, the KJ and Jay Podcast, where he and his father explore youth athletics through the lens of family and faith. Lessons in Leadership and Being Coachable Throughout the episode, KJ emphasizes the value of being coachable and lifting others up. He discusses how challenging it can be to let go of perfectionism and how his dad helps remind him that failure is a natural part of growth. When asked what makes a good teammate, his answer is simple but powerful: supporting others even when you're not at your best. From double-selly celebrations to battling through injury, KJ keeps it real and relatable. Balancing Sports, Media, and Real Life Beyond the field and court, KJ talks about downtime in Alabama—fishing, visiting water parks, and recovering from a UCL strain. He also shares his big goals for the future, with hopes of playing football professionally while keeping baseball as a backup. His walkout song? “Unstoppable” by Sia—an anthem that fits the energy and message of this episode perfectly.

Twenty-five years after co-founding Corporate United, the first indirect GPO in the United States, David McCarty points out an inconvenient truth: the very tools procurement once developed to leverage spend are no longer as effective in today's supplier-dominated landscape. In this episode of "Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement," David joins co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to discuss the evolution of Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), from their early promises of dramatic savings (15-30% back in the early 2000s) to their current state, where GPOs are much more limited in their ability to determine and optimize spend.  With refreshing candor and a healthy dose of optimism about today's forward-thinking GPO leaders, David confirms what many procurement leaders have long suspected: most GPOs are less effective today than when they were founded, partly because they've become a kind of checkbox solution that gives procurement a "false sense of security" rather than a true route to optimized expense management.  For procurement leaders who are worried that their suppliers might be gaming the GPO system, David provides realistic guidance on how to select the right GPO partner (from looking at contract age and rebidding frequency to volume transparency and customization options). He also points out the key areas where GPOs can still deliver differentiated value, but only if they are leveraged appropriately and procurement puts the time and effort into measuring the value they expect to receive.  While there are still benefits to using this model, it's clear, says David, that in 2025, strategic procurement through GPOs requires a more discerning, purpose-driven approach than ever before.

In a world where adulting seems to dominate every hour of the day—deadlines, responsibilities, bills—it's easy to forget that play isn't just for kids. But when it comes to relationships, a playful spirit might just be the secret ingredient to lasting love.Playfulness in romance isn't about acting childish or dodging serious conversations. It's about injecting joy, curiosity, and spontaneity into the everyday. It's about sharing inside jokes that make no sense to anyone else, laughing at each other's ridiculous impressions, and building a connection that can weather the storms of life by dancing in the rain, metaphorically or literally.What Exactly Is Playfulness in a Relationship?Playfulness is the art of keeping things light. It's not a rejection of maturity but rather a bold commitment to finding joy together. It might look like tickle fights in the kitchen, goofy texts in the middle of the workday, or creating absurd nicknames that only you and your partner could ever understand.Research shows that couples who share these light-hearted moments report higher satisfaction, stronger emotional bonds, and even greater resilience in times of stress. In other words, a well-timed joke or a burst of shared silliness can be just as powerful as a heartfelt conversation.I find in my current relationship, and in relationships in the past, the more we are laughing, the better our relationship is doing. The less laughing, things got worse or they were already bad and we just stopped trying (that's past relationships - we are trying to play all the time in my current relationship). The Science Says: Play Is Serious BusinessPlayfulness might sound like fluff, but psychologists have found that it does some heavy lifting behind the scenes in relationships.According to several studies, playfulness strengthens emotional bonds by creating positive associations. When partners laugh and joke together, their brains release dopamine—the feel-good chemical that enhances connection and trust. It also helps defuse tension during conflict, offering a “reset” button when conversations get heated or misunderstandings pop up.Play also opens up space for creativity in communication. When partners feel safe enough to be silly or spontaneous, they're more likely to approach problems with an open mind and a collaborative spirit. This is critical when you've got kids as they present a challenge into themselves.How to Invite More Play Into Your RelationshipSo how does one actually be more playful in a relationship? It doesn't require a clown suit or a full-time comedy routine. It just takes intention and a willingness to break out of autopilot.Here are a few simple ways to get started:1. Embrace the Art of the Inside Joke Every couple has their own language—those shared references, silly phrases, or code words that trigger a smile or an eye roll. Cultivate those. They create a sense of intimacy that feels like a shared secret.2. Create Micro-Moments of Fun You don't need to book a weekend getaway to bring in some levity. Make funny faces across the dinner table. Add a ridiculous twist to your daily routines. Challenge each other to a sock-sliding contest down the hallway. It's the little things that add up.3. Don't Take the Mundane So Seriously Not everything has to be optimized, scheduled, or turned into a life lesson. Dance while doing the dishes. Narrate your errands in the voice of a sports commentator. Be willing to let go of being “normal” in favor of being fully present and absurdly joyful.4. Reconnect With Childhood Joys Board games, old cartoons, blanket forts—there's magic in revisiting the things you loved as a kid. Shared nostalgia not only sparks playfulness but can also lead to surprisingly meaningful conversations about who you were and who you've become.5. Keep the Flirt Alive Flirting isn't just for the early days. It's a playful way to say, “I still choose you.” That wink across the room, the spontaneous compliment, the playful teasing—it's all part of keeping the spark burning bright.The Role of "Ludus Love"Psychologists have identified a type of love known as "Ludus," which centers around play, teasing, and lighthearted flirtation. While it's often associated with more casual relationships, elements of Ludus can be essential even in long-term partnerships. By incorporating humor, spontaneity, and a touch of the unexpected, couples can avoid the trap of predictability and keep things feeling fresh.Playfulness, when paired with trust and emotional safety, can create a dynamic where joy becomes part of the foundation—not just a fleeting mood, but a shared value.What Playfulness Isn'tIt's important to clarify what playful love doesn't mean. It's not sarcasm at your partner's expense. It's not ignoring hard conversations or using jokes to avoid accountability. True playfulness comes from a place of connection, not criticism. It's about lifting each other up, not tearing each other down under the guise of “just kidding.”Why It Matters More Than EverIn an age of chronic stress and over-scheduled calendars, couples often slip into routine. Days blur into weeks, and romance becomes another task to manage. But play cuts through that fog. It reminds us that love doesn't have to be so serious all the time. That joy isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.When couples laugh together, they stay connected. They remember why they chose each other in the first place. They build memories that are filled not just with milestones, but with moments—spontaneous, weird, wonderful moments that don't need to be captured for social media to matter.The TakeawayPlayfulness is more than a nice-to-have. It's a relational superpower. Whether it's through a goofy dance, a made-up game, or a shared laugh at the end of a long day, injecting a little fun into your relationship can deepen your bond, improve communication, and keep the romance alive.So lighten up. Let go of the need to always be productive or polished. Make room for play. Because sometimes, the key to lasting love isn't grand gestures—it's being willing to be a little ridiculous, together.ReferencesAun, Wong, (2002); Antecedents and Consequences of Adult Play in Romantic Relationships; Personal Relationships 9(3), 279-286. https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-6811.00019Baxter, (1992); Forms and Functions of Intimate Play in Personal Relationships; Human Communication Research, 18(3), 336–363. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2958.1992.tb00556.xBrauer, Proyer, Chick, (2021); Adult playfulness: An update on an understudied individual differences variable and its role in romantic life; Social and Personality Compass; 15(4). https://doi.org/10.1111/spc3.12589 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Improves Relationships; Psychology Today, August 15, 2024Gold, Timmons, et al (2024); A day in the life: Couples' everyday communication and subsequent relationship outcomes; Journal of Family Psychology, 38(3), 453–465 https://doi.org/10.1037/fam0001180 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Keeps a Romance Alive; Psychology Today, April 18, 2024.Metz, McCarty, (2007); The “Good-Enough Sex” model for couple sexual satisfaction; Sexual and Relationship Therapy 22(3), 351–362https://doi.org/10.1080/14681990601013492 Proyer, Ruch, (2011); The virtuousness of adult playfulness: the relation of playfulness with strengths of character; Psychology of Well-Being 1(4). https://doi.org/10.1186/2211-1522-1-4 This is a public episode.

In the new Netflix documentary “Bad Influence”, 11 teenagers recount their experiences working with Piper Rockelle, who was herself a child influencer. All of the teens were former “squad members” of the Youtuber. They described performing scripted scenes in front of the camera - like fake “dating” scenarios, or pranks. They also described feeling violated by some of the videos, and behind the scenes interactions with Rockelle’s mother, Tiffany Smith - who’s also her manager. And they described not knowing how to say “no” when placed in a situation where they felt uncomfortable. “Bad Influence” is one of two recently released documentaries about the impact being a “kidfluencer” can have on children, as well as on their families. There’s also the new Hulu documentary, “The Devil in the Family: The Ruby Franke Story”. The documentaries are bringing a lot of attention to the potential dangers of kidfluencing and the work many are doing to rein in the industry. One person who is pushing for changes is Chris McCarty. They founded “Quit Clicking Kids”, a non-profit dedicated to stopping the monetization of minors on social media, as a high school senior. Now, as a college student at the University of Washington, McCarty has helped shape legislation in multiple states focused on regulating the kidfluencer industry. They were also featured in Netflix’s “Bad Influence: the dark side of kidfluencing”.

This episode we meet Chris McCarty, the inspirational student and founder of Quit Clicking Kids, an organization advocating for children's rights in the digital age. Learn about the rise of “sharenting” and how Chris is fighting for legislative changes to safeguard minors from exploitation on social media platforms.

The final AI-related piece this year was THE LAST PRACTICE, which I unfortunately have not had a chance to see yet because there were a number of technical glitches that prevented me from seeing it on site. I did however have a chance to remotely catch up with director Phil McCarty to talk more about the story and mechanics of the experience. Part of the synopsis says, "In a world beset with algorithmic careers and generative push-button-creativity in the name of "AI", what is the role of art, and inspiration any more?" After a number of monologues from virtual band members, then you are asked to create a mash-up song from different genres by choosing different album covers. McCarty may be making some critical reflections on AI within his story, but he's also simultaneously a big user of AI tools to facilitate his own creative process in producing this piece. We talk about this paradox in our conversation, but also his journey into the XR industry as a writer, musician, filmmaker, and as a writer on WHAT IF…? – AN IMMERSIVE STORY (previously covered in episodes #1391 & #1437).
