The transformative power of the "gentle slope," the principle that our lives are not defined by singular, dramatic events, but by the accumulation of tiny, consistent choices comes under McKay's scrutiny today. Acknowledging that the world often waits for a "lightning strike" of inspiration, our host explains that true change happens through the quiet persistence of daily habits.Analyzing the history of the Grand Canyon, McKay contrasts a 1956 crash with the slow erosion that actually shaped its depths. He also shares stories of John Woolman's anti-slavery persuasion and Jennie Flexner's book-by-book literacy drive. From Edith Eger's resilience to Barry Magee's endurance, this episode shows how a one-degree shift changes your destiny. McKay provides a framework for "evolving instead of revolving," urging us to use small habits to build an extraordinary life.Main Themes:The Grand Canyon: Why small forces are more powerful than spectacular eventsThe 1956 mid-air collision and the birth of modern air traffic controlJenny Mass Flexner: Changing generations one book at a timeJohn Woolman and the thirty-year mission of "gentle persuasion"Benjamin Banneker: How a habit of curiosity builds a scientific legacyEdith Eger and the "50 anyway" mindset: Taking risks at any ageEvolving vs. Revolving: Breaking the cycle of past-based thinkingThe Wheat Field Analogy: The science of building neuro-pathways in the brainBabar Ali: The journey from after-school teacher to world-renowned headmasterThe Lydiard Method: Why building an aerobic base is the key to enduranceThe "One-Degree" Rule: How tiny deviations in direction change your final destinationTop 10 Quotes:"Extraordinary results are often the product of ordinary actions repeated consistently over time.""The river never set out to carve a canyon a mile deep; it simply kept moving in the same direction.""The great things we achieve, or the erosion in our actions and character, are not arrived at in a moment. Rather, it is a gentle slope.""Our lives are shaped by small choices... like a river carving a canyon, the effects are almost invisible day by day, yet over years, they become impossible to ignore.""Impact compounds.""By small and simple things are great things brought to pass.""You've got to evolve instead of revolve.""Today's small choices become tomorrow's habits, and tomorrow's habits become next year's character, and character becomes destiny."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

McKay explores Dolly Parton's philosophy of ‘finding the God-light in everyone' as a transformative leadership discipline. He argues that choosing to see potential rather than faults is a practical way to inspire growth and redirect lives.Our host highlights how belief in others alters history through the stories of Louis Armstrong, Walt Disney, and Abraham Lincoln. Detailing Nelson Mandela's healing of South Africa and John Wooden's UCLA coaching, McKay demonstrates that by applying the Pygmalion effect and defending the absent, listeners can foster trust and move beyond automatic negative thinking.Main Themes: Dolly Parton's "God light" philosophy The Pygmalion Effect on performance Lincoln's "Team of Rivals" strategy Louis Armstrong's reform school start Walt Disney and the power of affirmation Defending the absent to build character Mandela's use of rugby to unite a nation Overcoming self-centered "default settings" John Wooden's shame-free coaching Belief as a practical leadership strategyTop 10 Quotes:"I try to find the God-light in everybody.""If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.""Human nature tends to notice faults first.""When people are seen as capable, they often become more capable.""If you humiliate people, they resist; if you honor people, they change.""When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.""Seeing the good in others is a discipline, not a feeling.""Remembering everyone is good makes a meaningful life possible.""Correct what can be improved, not what is wrong with you.""Seeing good in someone can redirect an entire life."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Long-time followers of this Project will know I've proposed an illuminating test for substantial collections of poetry that I call "The Sandburg Test.*" This test is to ask "Within any substantial collection, does at least one poem deal with the world of ordinary work?" Early 20th century Claude McKay's poetry is wide-ranging, and here's one that lets one answer "Yes, certainly" to the Sandburg Test's question. Like much of McKay's poetry the word-music is beautiful, even when in "On the Road"  he's speaking of the grinding weariness of working in the dining car of that echt 20th century Modernist object, the train. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. We've done over 900 of these combinations, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org   *Like the Bechtel Test my test is emulating, it doesn't mean that poetry collections that produce a no answer and have worth or must be cast out, it's only a tool to point out an important and substantial part of life that is being ignored.    

Kevin McKay preaches "The Cost of Hypocrisy" from Acts 4:32-5:11, continuing our series in Acts, in this Sunday morning gathering of Grace Harbor Church.

Content warning: childhood abuse, childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, abduction, missing persons, gun violence, murder, and mental illness.Amber Rodgers is a survivor, business professional, and creative from Texas. As early as she can remember, her life was filled with chaos. By the time she was fourteen, she was a multi-crime survivor, and by 19 she would serve as a witness in her best friend's murder trial. Amber moved forward by cultivating a successful career and loving family, until her past trauma instigated a cascading effect in her mental health and relationships. Although Amber has shared portions of her story at-large, it took her decades and a life-altering mental health journey to realize the deep impact her teen years had had on her. The Broken Cycle Media team is deeply appreciative of Amber's transparency, rawness, and advocacy.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Craig Johnson

In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips unpacks one of the most common (and frustrating!) impacts of perimenopause – BRAIN FOG – with world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay.From poor concentration to forgetfulness and simple words, like fork, dissolving in mid-air, mid-conversation, they discuss the cognitive changes that occur in midlife and why. And Dr Sarah provides strategies to get you back to the sharp, witty, vibrant woman you know you are. About the guest: Dr Sarah McKay is an Oxford-trained neuroscientist, author, speaker and educator whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, women’s brain health and real life.

McKay investigates the concept that the defining factor of success isn't staying perfectly motivated, but rather the courage to "begin again" every time life knocks you down. He explains that meaningful breakthroughs are often the result of quiet, repeated decisions made long before the world notices the "home run."Drawing on powerful narratives of late bloomers and resilient leaders, McKay shows how waiting is never wasted time. He shares the story of Bryan Torres, who spent 11 years in the minor leagues before a spectacular MLB debut, and Tara Westover, who overcame a survivalist upbringing to earn a PhD from Cambridge. By examining the lives of such icons as Grandma Moses, Sylvester Stallone, and Abraham Lincoln, McKay illustrates that our personal timelines are unique and that setbacks are often necessary preparation for a greater destiny. This episode provides listeners with a framework for letting go of past disappointments, utilizing the "I don't understand it" file for unexplained pain, and finding the resolve to go one more round.Main Themes:The Bryan Torres Story: Lessons from 11 years in the minor leaguesWhy the "waiting" period is actually a season of essential preparation"Nana korobi ya oki": The Japanese philosophy of falling seven times and rising eightTara Westover and the power of starting from scratch to achieve the impossibleThe "I Don't Understand It" file: A strategy for emotional release and moving forwardGrandma Moses and the myth of the "missed window" for successSylvester Stallone's "Rocky" moment: The conviction to bet on yourselfAbraham Lincoln: How a lifetime of political defeat built a national saviorShifting the focus from "Am I there yet?" to "Am I better than I was?"How tiny, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary characterTop 10 Quotes:"What if the waiting is not wasted? What if the years nobody notices are actually the years building the person capable of handling the moment?""Every time you decide again, you get a little better.""Disappointment can do one of two things: it can harden you or it can sharpen you.""The world only sees the harvest, but God sees the planting.""Fall seven times, rise eight.""Success is often built through tiny improvements repeated consistently.""Nobody becomes extraordinary instantly. People become extraordinary by repeatedly improving ordinary things.""Some flowers bloom early, some bloom late, but both are still flowers.""Goals eventually end, but character, the character you develop, remains.""When Lincoln lost, he did not restart from zero. He restarted from the experience that he gained."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Tonda came out at eighteen as a good Southern Baptist girl whose prayer partner became her first love, and she has spent the decades since building a life as a long-out lesbian in the South.

What is it actually like for someone who has been out for forty years to fall in love with a woman who is only just beginning her journey? Tonda speaks honestly about boundaries, patience, and trust, about learning that her new partner's grief was not about her, and about why being older changed everything.

Eclectic jazz performer coming to Cold Spring Modest but accomplished actor and musician Nellie McKay is reticent when asked to discuss her work and style. She's more animated on political passions, like feminism and animal rights, and more talkative onstage. McKay (pronounced "McKye"), who will perform a sold-out show on June 6 at the Chapel Restoration in Cold Spring for its Jazz at the Chapel series, is comfortable enough there to reveal many personal details, like the story about why she mispronounced her guitarist's name after a 2011 appearance at NPR's Tiny Desk: "I was stoned when I met him." Three years ago, while a guest on a radio show in North Carolina, her face brightened when she heard that Sierra Nevada sponsored the segment. "Brought to you by a beer? I love that; it's about time." The host replied, "It's that time sometime" — i.e., 5 o'clock somewhere. Responding with a coy smile, she said, "All the time." The show is broadcast from the campus of Isothermal Community College in the state's Appalachian west: "I feel like I'm going to school again; I want to get some supplies," she said, not in reference to textbooks or pens. Then she launched into "The Drinking Song," a melancholy number about drowning sorrows after the death of a loved one, vowing to "drink, drink, drink" and "dream, dream, dream" when sleeping off the binge. McKay's musical knowledge is vast. She's hip to the Hawaiian music craze that brought the ukulele to the mainland in the 1920s and 1930s. As a pianist, she recorded a tribute album to music, movie and television icon Doris Day, who broke out in the mid-1940s and promoted animal rights. When the topic of World War I came up in conversation, McKay immediately referenced Death of the Liberal Class, by Chris Hedges, which focuses on the Committee on Public Information, a federal agency that created and spread propaganda. "That's where the war economy and the misinformation in the mass media started," she says. "I have to be political — we're such pawns." To escape, she tries to avoid the noise. "It's so good to unplug," she says. "Silence is my favorite music, but it can be hard to find." McKay is a seasoned actor and writer of themed musicals that cover obscure historical figures, like Barbara Graham, the third woman in California to die in a gas chamber (at San Quentin). She also encapsulates the life of Billy Tipton (born Dorothy) in a "Girl Named Bill," a play on Johnny Cash's biggest hit, "A Boy Named Sue." Tipton, who kicked off a career as a jazz pianist and bandleader in the 1930s, passed as a man for her entire life. Paramedics who responded to her death in 1989 discovered the truth. McKay lives on the road, with no fixed address. "Sometimes venues put me up, but I just travel," she says. "I'm a trucker." The Chapel Restoration is located at 45 Market St. in Cold Spring. McKay's performance, which begins at 7 p.m., is sold out, but tickets may be available at the door. To download music, see nelliemckay.com.

They follow worthy leaders.""As leaders, we have to give people reasons to buy into us.""Add ten followers to your organization, and you have the power of ten people. Add ten leaders to your organization, and you have the power of ten leaders times all the followers and leaders they influence."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

Brain fog in perimenopause isn't inevitable decline.Brain fog in perimenopause isn't inevitable decline.

In recent weeks, we've had conversations with Shabana Azeez and Katherine LaNasa, and now it's time to turn to Fiona Dourif to cover what's happening in Season 2 through Episode 12, “6:00 PM.”During her full Ladies Night chat, we discussed Dourif's experience deciding to become a professional actor and first starting to make a living pursuing that dream at 34. She also delved into her journey with the Child's Play franchise (and her potential future in it), before turning to her work playing Dr. McKay in The Pitt. Dourif revealed some of her own personal backstory for the character, spoke about McKay's Episode 12 conversation with Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) when she senses something's off with him, and also took a moment to address the show's ICE storyline.

Filled with his trademark stories, reflections, and insights, our host's investigation here today offers enlightening lessons on motivation, discipline, and purpose that promise to transform listeners' perspective on life.During this thought-provoking episode, McKay explores the concept of taking action even when motivation seems elusive. Drawing inspiration from diverse sources, he uncovers the secrets to happiness and success while discussing how discipline plays a pivotal role in achieving these life goals. Throughout the episode, our host navigates various themes, including the significance of commitment, the legendary tale of Jonah, and the impact of creating a culture of excellence. Challenging the myth that motivation is the sole driver of action, McKay takes the opportunity today to pave the way for a more profound understanding of how dedication, discipline, and a “do it anyway” mindset can lead to fulfillment in our lives.Episode Highlights:An awe-inspiring encounter with humpback whalesThe significance of facing fears and taking action even when unwillingDrawing inspiration from the legendary tale of JonahThe power of discipline in achieving lasting success and happinessThe misconception about motivation and the importance of commitmentHow creating a culture of excellence can lead to remarkable resultsExploring the concept of the "abundant approach" How helping others adds motivationEmbracing discipline, finding integrity, and seeking happiness in lifeQuotes:"We can't be what we can't see. At the core of our behavior is how we see the world and our place in it.""For some time now, I've been nudged and inspired and given opportunities to go in a direction that God wants me to go. And for whatever reason, I've been a bit slow to respond.""Don't give in to the immediate gratification of the thing. Give in instead to your true motive.""Motivation is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.""The winners didn't need motivation. They put a system in place in their life or business and established small habits of discipline.""Life takes the shape of an iceberg…90% of the time, the things that drive results are the work without motivation below the surface.""The definition of integrity is doing something you've decided to do long after the emotion of making the decision to do it has passed.""Happiness and success often come from doing things even when you don't feel like it.""Embrace your potential and fulfill your purpose, even if it means doing things you don't want to do.""Creating a culture of excellence and discipline can lead to outstanding results, even when the task is repetitive and not initially exciting."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/

The conversation centers on one of the most debated topics in biblical archaeology:Could the real Mount Sinai actually be in Saudi Arabia?Drawing from Scripture, archaeology, geography, ancient petroglyphs, and firsthand exploration, Ken and Jo unpack the growing evidence suggesting that the biblical Mount Sinai—also called Mount Horeb—may be located east of the Gulf of Aqaba in ancient Arabia rather than on the traditional Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. From the altar of the golden calf…to boundary markers described in Exodus…to the split rock at Horeb…to petroglyphs depicting Moses with raised hands during the battle with Amalek…this episode explores how modern discoveries appear to align remarkably with the biblical narrative. The episode also highlights:The hospitality they experienced in Saudi ArabiaThe role of Scripture in guiding archaeological inquiryWhy Paul's statement in Galatians 4:25 mattersThe spiritual significance of rediscovering biblical placesAnd how these discoveries reinforce confidence in the reliability of God's WordThe central message:The Bible is not mythology detached from history—God's Word stands up to examination, geography, and time.How to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On the Road with the Holy Spirit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partner with Orbis Financially⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?

It's about recognizing that failure is a possibility, and deciding to take the risk anyway.""Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place.""The most important thing to do is to get started, even if it's a small step.""The things I cannot do, I will let go.

For more than four years, business teacher Marcia Latta has been helping youth improve their financial literacy at McKay High School in Salem. In recognition of her efforts, Latta was recently named the Oregon Financial Empowerment Educator of the Year by Oregon Treasurer Elizabeth Steiner. The Salem Statesman Journal first reported news of Latta’s award, which includes a $1,500 cash prize for Latta, $500 for her school and $500 total in college savings plan gift certificates for her students.     Starting next year, all Oregon high school students will be required to earn a half credit in personal finance education in order to graduate. Latta teaches two classes at McKay, including one that’s a requirement on personal finance that helps high school juniors understand bank loans for car or home purchases, how to save for retirement and other financial concepts. For three years now, Latta has also used a grant from the Oregon Department of Human Services to organize free tax preparation clinics for students, many of whom she says get refunds on their filed returns.    Latta joins us to share her work educating youth about their personal finances.

Join McKay this week as he encourages listeners to recognize opportunities, overcome hesitations, and boldly open life's doors. Reviewing significant doors that have been opened in the past, such as the creation of the Panama Canal, McKay explores the significance of taking well-calculated risks and embracing change as a means to opening doors in our life.Drawing inspiration from these and other events, McKay underscores the importance of identifying open doors and advancing despite intricate circumstances. He goes on to note that these stories serve as reminders that significant personal growth often originates from navigating difficulties and welcoming novel perspectives. Above all, our host reminds listeners here today that doors are waiting for them, even if they seem impossible or improbable, and that God may be knocking - asking them to exercise their faith, step through that door, and witness the good things waiting for them on the other side.Episode Highlights:Seizing opportunitiesGrowth through changeUnseen opportunitiesAdaptation and global impactTransformative momentsPersonal journeysIntuition and self-fulfillmentStepping through doorsQuotes:"Life is subtle, sometimes you barely notice yourself walking through the doors you once prayed would open.""Often we walk through doors so we can find the next door waiting for us on the other side.""Change doesn't always come in dramatic events. Sometimes it's the small, imperceptible impressions that lead us to greater discoveries.""Stepping through doors of opportunity requires embracing uncertainty and recognizing that growth often comes from navigating challenges.""Lucky people have a strong sense of intuition, which makes them lucky, and more importantly, they follow that intuition much more frequently than other people.""Some doors need to be closed, and the reason that closing those doors frees us up is because now we can see what's before us to seek the open doors available to us.""God will force no man to heaven. He'll call, persuade, direct, or write and bless with wisdom, love, and light in nameless ways, be good and kind, but never force the human mind.""Don't let fear hold you back, because here's the truth, you are extraordinary. You are meant to step forward, open the door, and do what you've been afraid to do and take action.""Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from making bad decisions."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
