Katherine Dowling is a brilliant Canadian pianist and in this conversation we talked about her album of solo music by Alice Ping Yee Ho, mentors including Gil Kalish and Henk Guittart, and how and why she's developed her exceptional musical memory. Katherine shared fantastic insights into teaching and learning, the importance of inclusivity and access to arts education, and how she uses the Pomodoro technique in the practice room. She explained how sound production on the piano is about the speed of attack and we discussed different skill sets and career paths for pianists. Dr. Dowling shared many inspiring musical memories, and how she developed her ambitious Elegy project to follow her personal path through grief.

Welcome back to Memorizing Tarot Cards! Today, we explore the deeply symbolic Two of Swords, a tarot card that represents indecision, mental conflict, and the struggle between logic and intuition. In this episode, we'll break down the powerful imagery of the blindfolded woman, crossed swords, the vast sea, the crescent moon, and the distant islands, revealing the tension and clarity this card brings to decision-making.

We live in a world that is obsessed with knowledge - which is a good thing. Knowledge gets you ahead. Knowledge is power. That's what we say. And we experience that, too. It worked for Paul. He really was THE MAN, when it came to all things God. For a lot of us who grew up in the Church, head knowledge of the contents and principles of the Bible was something that we valued highly. Memorization, then being able to recite on the spot, or at least be able to talk about it with certainty. Paul called all of that stuff "garbage" when compared to knowing Jesus. Garbage. Rubbish. Actually, the best way to translate that word is, "shit." It's all a bunch of BS compared to knowing Jesus. Okay, poop - let's talk about poop. This is now the second sermon I've preached about poop. Yay! All that stuff we know about Jesus is like manure - it fertilizes the heart and soul to prepare us for knowing Jesus. The head stuff is great. But it's also BS. It has to fertilize the heart so that we can actually know the divine. And knowing Jesus has a transformative effect on our lives. We become a gracious presence. We become a healing presence. We become a loving presence. We become a welcoming presence. And most importantly, we become a loving presence. Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Philippians 3:1-14 http://bible.com/events/49406721

It may seem antiquated, and it's fallen out of fashion in most modern education circles, but memorization - once a staple of school - is very much alive (and awesome) here in the Veritas Academy Grammar School grades. Why do we adhere to rote memorization as a primary learning tool for young kids? Two big reasons - because it works (really, really works), and because it's fun! And it may look quite differently from how you picture it.In this episode, Veritas first grade teacher Mrs. Katie Thompson and third grade teacher Mrs. Judy Hermanovitch share their experience and stories that highlight how and why memorization is simply the best learning tool for younger children. You'll hear:Why (biologically) kids are truly designed as sponges.What memorization looks like during the school day at Veritas.How memorizing information, songs, and facts in grammar school is serving kids in their older years.Their insights and stories may flip what you thought you knew about memorization in school on its head, replacing images of dry, monotone chants and information cramming with joyful, exuberant songs and a lifelong love of learning!This season of Cultivate is sponsored by Hershey Financial Advisers,  a wealth management firm located at North Point Boulevard in Lancaster, PA, leading people to make better financial decisions and empowering them to fulfill a vision beyond themselves.

Foundation of Christian Community 2. Reflecting Christ's Love 3. Promoting Spiritual Growth 4. Enhancing Prayer Life 5. Witness to the World 6. Encouraging Humility and Service   **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1   What Are Spiritual Disciplines? Define spiritual disciplines as practices rooted in Scripture that help believers grow in their relationship with God. Key verse: “Discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.” (1 Timothy 4:7)   Biblical Examples and Spiritual Purpose of Fasting 1. Biblical Examples of Fasting Fasting in Mourning and Repentance: David fasting after his sin with Bathsheba (2 Samuel 12:16-17 - ). The people of Nineveh fasting in response to Jonah's preaching (Jonah 3:5-10 )   Fasting for Guidance: Ezra fasting for safety and protection (Ezra 8:21-23 )   The church at Antioch fasting before sending out missionaries (Acts 13:2-3 )   Fasting in Crisis: Esther and the Jews fasting before she approached the king (Esther 4:16))   Jehoshaphat proclaiming a fast when Judah was under threat (2 Chronicles 20:3-4   Fasting in Preparation for Ministry: Jesus fasting 40 days and nights in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-2 )   Paul and Barnabas fasting before appointing elders (Acts 14:23) 1.2 The Spiritual Purpose of Fasting Seeking God's Presence and Power:   Humble Dependence on God:   Aligning with God's Will:   **So, Why Fast? Mourning, Repentance, Seeking Guidance, Wisdom, A Crisis, Preparation for Ministry   **(00:00) END PART 1**   **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   Section 2: Practical Application of Fasting 2.1 How to Fast as an Individual Preparing for a Fast: Know Your WHY. What's your purpose? Pray and focus on the purpose for the fast. Choose the type and duration of fasting. Plan what will replace food, don't leave a vacuum. Prayer, Bible Reading, Memorization, etc.   Types of Fasting: Complete Fast: No food or drink (Esther 4:16, Paul at conversion, Moses on Sinai; extreme circumstances only). 1.Desperate Circumstances: Often connected with life-and-death situations or pivotal spiritual moments. 2.Short Duration: Typically no more than three days unless miraculously sustained (e.g., Moses' 40-day fast). 3.Purpose: To seek divine intervention, guidance, forgiveness, or revelation.   Partial Fast: Partial fasts in the Bible involve abstaining from certain types of food or drink rather than completely abstaining. These fasts were often used for extended periods or in specific contexts where individuals focused on humility, devotion, or spiritual preparation. (Daniel 10:3 - 2In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. 3I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. John the Baptists Lifestyle)   1. Characteristics of Partial Fasts 2. Select Restrictions: Focus on limiting specific foods (e.g., rich foods, meat, or wine). 3. Purpose: Often linked to humility, seeking God's will, or preparing for spiritual encounters. 4.Extended Durations: Commonly longer than complete fasts, lasting days or weeks.   Intermittent Fast: Skipping meals during specific times. IE. miss lunch for prayer. Intermittent fasting, characterized by periodic abstention from food or drink for specific times, is not explicitly named in the Bible but can be inferred from certain practices and rhythms. Biblical examples suggest some individuals and communities engaged in fasting at particular times of the day or for designated periods as part of their spiritual devotion. Luke 18:12 – Pharisee fasted twice a week, on a schedule.   Characteristics of Intermittent Fasting in the Bible 1.Time-Based Fasting: Often occurred during specific hours of the day (e.g., morning to evening). 2.Regular Patterns: Certain groups, like the Pharisees, observed fasting on scheduled days. 3.Corporate and Personal Practice: Seen in communal settings (e.g., Israel) and individual devotion (e.g., Anna). 4.Purpose: Spiritual preparation, mourning, seeking guidance, or demonstrating devotion.   Non-Food Fasts: Avoiding distractions like social media, entertainment, or hobbies to focus on God. The Bible does not explicitly describe non-food fasts in the same way it details abstinence from food and drink. However, certain practices resembling non-food fasts can be inferred from Scripture when individuals or groups chose to abstain from particular activities, comforts, or luxuries to seek God or focus on spiritual matters. Purpose: To demonstrate humility and focus entirely on seeking God during a period of spiritual reflection.   Jonah 3:6-7 - The king of Nineveh declared a fast and removed his royal robes as a sign of repentance: "Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes." Purpose: Symbolizing humility and repentance before God.   Characteristics of Non-Food Fasts in the Bible 1.Sacrificial Nature: The focus is on denying oneself something of value to draw nearer to God. 2.Symbolic Acts: Often associated with mourning, repentance, or humility (e.g., sackcloth and ashes). 3.Spiritual Intent: Aimed at seeking God, expressing devotion, or prioritizing spiritual over physical needs.   **Ask: What is the biggest time waster that draws me away from god? Can you fast from that activity?   During the Fast: Dedicate time to prayer, Bible reading, and reflection. Prepare ahead of time so you are ready. Journal your thoughts and prayers to track spiritual growth. Ending a Fast: Break the fast gradually, with thanksgiving and continued focus on God's purpose.   **(5:00 – 1:00)**   Doctrine of the Month - Salvation *The Need for Salvation * The Provision of Salvation *The Response to Salvation *The Results of Salvation   **(1:00)**   - “Thank you for listening today!

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Anna Stokke discuss the decline in math education, noting that students lack basic arithmetic skills, hindering their ability to grasp complex concepts across multiple subjects. Dr. Stokke highlights the persistence of ineffective teaching methods, such as constructivism, despite evidence supporting direct instruction. She advocates for a return to systematic, explicit teaching methods to build a strong foundation in math. They also stress the importance of parents questioning educational practices and seeking evidence-based research.     Key Takeaways: Math is cumulative. It is like a ladder. To teach a student algebra, they need to know what happens before that. If you don't learn the basic math at the time you should, times tables, for instance, you should really know by the end of grade three, and then you don't get that fixed, it's just going to snowball. Memorization practices are sometimes called drill and kill. However, if students don't get that practice, they will fall behind early on.  There is a lot of evidence from cognitive and neuroscientists that learning basic mathematics actually contributes to your problem-solving abilities for a range of different problems, not just mathematical ones.   "The decline in math is well documented in North America. We don't know why that is, but it's fairly clear that these changes in education seem to correlate with the decline in scores. It's very concerning, and I think we could turn it around if we'd focus on more of a bottom-up approach, building the foundation and using good instructional techniques." —  Dr. Anna Stokke   Episode References:  NCTM: https://www.nctm.org/  Project Follow Through: https://www.nifdi.org/what-is-di/project-follow-through.html  Sold a Story: https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/    Connect with Dr. Anna Stokke: Professional Bio: https://www.annastokke.com/cv  Twitter: https://x.com/rastokke  Website: https://www.annastokke.com/  Podcast: https://www.annastokke.com/podcast  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqqz6R2IoI5te260LbQeI5A  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-stokke-5b095626a/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Keeping up with the rapid pace of technology and process changes is a challenge for organizations worldwide. On this episode of The Forward Thinking Podcast, FCCS VP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton welcomes Greg DeVore, co-founder and CEO of ScreenSteps for a discussion about creating smoother transitions and stronger team performance. They cover strategies for developing adaptable employees and teams, tools and training that can empower employees to confidently adapt to change, and what happens when employees are given the framework that enables them to effectively enhance their performance and improve their procedures.   Episode Insights Include:   Why do organizations struggle with change?  Change is often a people problem. No one likes change. The lack of clarity around change creates additional ambiguity and stress. Leaders need to be aware of the cognitive load they are putting on people when introducing changes.   How can change be made less scary? A one-time lunch-and-learn does not provide enough time to retain new information. Employees lose 90% of the information presented to them, so they must be empowered to perform their new jobs after they have forgotten almost everything new. Creating a reference guide for change provides the framework that employees need to access new foundational knowledge. Empower employees to find the information they need at the moment they need it.   Becoming a Find and Follow organization The only way you can make onboarding easier is if you change the way you work. Transferring information from one employee to the next is a critical component of organizational success. If you are truly seeking consistency and the ability to adapt to change, you don't actually want employees to learn tasks. You want them to understand the foundational knowledge.   Effectively introducing change A really good checklist will beat dozens of years of experience. Memorization is not the ultimate goal, empowering employees to access knowledge is. Start introducing change by identifying the needed change and the resources that will support it. High complexity and high rates of change require a high level of training and resources. The goal should be to transfer knowledge to employees in the moment that they need it.   Identifying what employees need to know in order to be successful Include the person in charge of training, the person fixing the employees' mistakes, and the person who answers their questions. Consider the employee triggers- tasks that must be performed and questions that must be answered. This approach can work for both large and small changes. Employees who follow this approach will feel more confident in their responsibilities. Effective, established frameworks can support AI in the future of work.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Greg DeVore — Greg DeVore   Get in touch   info@fccsconsulting.com

Today, you're coming with me to Fargo, North Dakota for a Fresh Grounded Faith event. I'm sitting at the bistro table with author and speaker Margaret Feinberg and singer-songwriter Michael O'Brien, and we are spilling the beans! We talked about how to get into the habit of meeting with God and the difference between your gifting and your calling. And we also got really honest about how to forgive when you don't want to or feel like you can't. Then we dealt with a few hard subjects, including thoughts of suicide and experiencing anger toward God. It was very gentle and wise, and you'll find it so helpful.  But, even in all that hard stuff, I am telling you this was one of the funniest conversations I have had in a long time. So, get ready to think, grow, and laugh. Let's spill the beans… SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/310 Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

Send Steve a Text MessageEver found yourself fumbling through song sheets while trying to master a new tune on your guitar? Say goodbye to that crutch and hello to 'clearing'—my unique method for memorizing songs that will deepen your musical connection and free you from the page. We kick things off by breaking down the process of internalizing tunes in a meaningful way, diving into the world of 'ego songs' and 'project songs.' These categorizations aren't just labels; they're a roadmap to building a repertoire that does more than impress—it connects you to the core of music through chords, rhythms, and dynamics. Next, we take a step backstage into the rehearsal room, sharing a glimpse into prepping for a live performance with none other than my daughter. The challenge of converting piano-centric pieces like those of Elton John or Billy Joel to the guitar isn't lost on us. It's all about capturing the essence, the groove, before even considering the chords. Strumming techniques, song structure, and personal interpretations take center stage, proving that the key to a memorable performance is injecting your unique voice into every chord and lyric.To wrap this sonic journey, we explore 'clearing' in music practice, likening it to driving with the lights on full beam—always aware, always ready. I share insights into how this mindset is essential for ensuring clarity and confidence in your performance. The episode wouldn't be complete without discussing the high-wire act of singing while playing—an art in itself. So, whether you're a seasoned player or new to the strings, join us for a heart-to-heart filled with actionable advice and the kind of encouragement that only a fellow musician can offer. Let's make music that resonates, not just with our audience, but with our own artistic spirit.

In this computerized age, we tend to see memory as a purely cerebral faculty. To memorize is to store information away in the brain in such a way as to make it retrievable at a later time. But the old expression "knowing by heart" calls us to a stranger, more embodied and mysterious take on memory. In this episode, Phil and JF endeavour to recite two poems they've learned by heart, as a preamble to a discussion on poetry, form, and the magic of memory.

In today's episode of Classical Et Cetera, the table sits down to talk about memorization in its place in the framework of a classical Christian education. Does memorization actually help? Or are we just wasting our time "forcing kids to memorize everything"? Is it true that drills kill the enchantment and wonder of learning? We don't think so. We believe that training the skills of memorization, repetition, and practice do far more to help develop student understanding, provide a gateway to mastery, and encourage success in the classroom. In today's episode we're going to share memorization success stories, study tools and aid for young learners, and provide a helpful strategy to encourage memorization in school and at home. Memorization works. No tricks here, only proven methodology that legitimizes memorization as part of a robust and rigorous education. How do we do it?

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner Would you like to be “prosperous and successful?”  God gives clear direction to his people on how to enjoy that very thing.  He tells Joshua the secret to prosperity in Joshua 1:8, “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”  In this episode I'll be talking about how to: ·        Kindle or rekindle your passion for God's Word ·        How to meditate on scripture ·        Ways to see old scriptures in new ways and… ·        How to develop “greatest hits” collection of your favorite scriptures How to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  Click Here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner   Transcript How to Become a Multiplying Disciple:  Meditate on God's Word 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.  Joshua 1:8 Joshua was handed the unenviable job of following in Moses' footsteps.  The same Moses who faced down Pharaoh, who raised his staff to part the Red Sea, who kept his nation fed for forty years in a desert and who brought down the tablets of the Law from Mt. Sinai.  Imagine the pressure Joshua must have felt in trying to follow in the footsteps of this man for all generations.  Not only that, but Moses had left Joshua with the massive challenge of crossing the Jordan, taking on the fortress of Jericho and conquering all of the promised land.  God assures Joshua in this chapter that he is with him and that he will give him the land and he hands him the key to success and prosperity, meditate on God's word, the book of the law.  It's interesting what God doesn't give him.  He doesn't give him a pep talk talking about how great Joshua is or how much God believes in him.  He doesn't give him a buddy like he gave Aaron to Moses.  He doesn't give him advice on his time management or speaking skills.  Instead he tells Joshua to devote himself to reading and meditating on the words of God.  That one habit will bring success and prosperity to his leadership.  Joshua must have taken this to heart because unlike most other Old Testament figures, Joshua lives a nearly perfect life.  He parts the Jordan, levels Jericho, divides and conquers the promised land, allots all of the tribal territories and successfully leads his new nation until his death.  The only failure he faces is when he forgets to pray when the Gibeonites scam him into making a treaty with them.  He is truly a worthy predecessor to his descendant who shares his same name, Jesus. Are you looking for success and prosperity in your life?  The formula for success hasn't changed in three thousand years.  Keep God's word on your lips, meditate on it and do everything written in it.  Your devotion and application of God's word will establish the level of fruitfulness, effectiveness and impact of your life.  Many turn toward God in times of difficulty, become followers and then attempt the long period of marching daily toward Zion.  Some fall by the wayside or settle for an unsatisfying and unfruitful existence with little “success and prosperity” to speak of.  They don't become multiplying disciples, they often settle for spiritual barrenness, emotional distance from God and a sin-compromised existence. That doesn't have to be your life.  Determine today that you will follow in the footsteps of Joshua.  Here's how you can do that. Get excited about the Bible I walked into the Christian bookstore in Berkeley, California a few days after my baptism.  I scanned the Bibles for sale and settled on a Zondervan Study Bible.  It had commentary notes below each page.  It was massive with a bonded leather cover.  I put the small paperback Bible my neighbor had given me into my backpack and used my new Bible for Bible study in my dorm room.  I remember opening the box, pulling it out and tearing open the mylar covering around the Bible.  I flipped through the pages and smelled the brand new book smell.  I loved how the gold gilding around the pages stuck together initially and how the pages were shining white without a flaw on any page.  I sensed something awesome and new was happening in my life with the opening of this new Bible.  I wore that Bible out.  If someone handed you a goose that laid a one-ounce golden egg every morning, how would you care for and tend to that animal?  Would you be excited?  Would you take good care of it?  Absolutely!  How much more for a book that will bring you success and prosperity all the days of your life.  Get excited about the Bible.  Look at it with new eyes.  Whether you have it on your phone or have a paper Bible, treasure it.  Here are some things you can do to refresh your excitement about God's word. Go out and buy a brand new Bible.  Sometimes it helps to buy a new Bible.  There are so many variations on the Bible that can stimulate your approach to God's word.  Try a study Bible or chronological Bible.  A Bible that offers space in the margins for notes can help.  Figure out what works for you to bring a new passion to God's word. Buy a new translation every year.  Reading the same translation year after year can bring a comfortable feeling of familiarity to your Bible study.  It can also turn your active mind off and set you into mental cruise control as you read through page after page without remembering what you just read.  A new translation can often force your mind out of a mental rut and cause you to start consciously thinking about what you are actually reading.  New translations are coming out every year.  Try a new one to stimulate your excitement. Read through the Bible every year.  This is one of the best practices that keeps your interest in God's word burning hot.  Download a PDF file that will guide you through the Bible in one year.  This will keep you from the “flip and find” method of random scripture study.  It will broaden your love and knowledge of God's word and the background to Jesus' arrival.  One of the easiest ways to do this is to look up how many pages there are in your Bible, divide it by the number of days in the year, 365 and that will tell you how many pages to read each day.  Keep a post it note or bookmark handy to keep track of your location.  The only downside of this method is that it can be difficult slogging through the entire Old Testament before reaching the New Testament in the last quarter of the year.  One way to fix that is to alternate readings every day or for every two pages of the Old Testament, read one of the New.  This year I'm following the 52 Week Bible Reading Plan by Michael Coley.  Every day I read a passage from a different genre of the Bible such as letters, law, history, Psalms, poetry, prophecy and gospels.  You can find the link below. [1] Carve out time every day God told Joshua, “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night.”  Joshua was commanded forcefully to make the Bible a daily habit of his life.  One of the best and most important ways to do this is to read your Bible first thing in the morning.  Do it before you check your phone or schedule.  Try doing it before you get out of bed.  Satan's plan is to drown you in trivial details and get you to forget your devotion to God's word.  You have to KEEP it on your lips.  Read or listen to at least a chapter a day of God's word.  Those who experience growth in their spiritual lives prioritize the consumption of God's word.  I force myself to get into God's word as soon as I sit down to my desk after getting a cup of coffee in the morning.  Keep it on your lips I think God is telling Joshua to use the Bible in his daily conversation and normal activities of life.  Memorization of important passages is powerful in times of trouble, temptation and transition.  I keep a stack of 3x5 cards that are lined and whenever I run into a passage that physically impacts me, I write it out on the card.  I have a stack of cards that I started thirty years ago.  When I travel, I will bring them with me and pull them out.  It's like having a “greatest hits” album with you at all times.  I know that each scripture I look at will be one of my favorites and deeply impacting.  I've also use the Navigator's memorization system to memorize scriptures.  They print and sell powerful scriptures from the Bible and can really help in keeping God's word on your lips.  The impact of this practice reveals itself in two ways.  When you are facing challenges, you can call up scriptures from within that can help you with whatever you are facing.  You don't need to flip through the Bible to find them.  Secondly, when you are talking to others, you can drop in scriptures into your conversation that can counsel and encourage others.  The power of your conversation intensifies based on the power and wisdom of God's word. Meditate of God's Word Day and Night Meditating on God's word is simply ruminating or thinking deeply about God's word.  Meditation is integral to eastern religions and yet not limited to them.  God was calling his people to use meditation to deepen their walk with him three thousand years ago.  How can we do this?  Take time to think about what you just read.  Read long enough that your mind gets in sync with what you are reading about.  Sometimes it takes 10 minutes or longer before your mind settles down and starts really connecting with a passage.  That's why as a younger Christian I recommend reading for volume as opposed to isolating single passages for deeper study.  If you are less than a year old as a Christian, your first assignment should be to first read through the entire New Testament and then read through the Old Testament.  A broad view of God's word and his dealings with men will allow you to think more deeply and give you the context to drill down and understand better any singular passage.  Keeping notes or a journal of what you are reading can help you meditate on the meaning.  I like to read and then meditate on what I just read.  I kneel on my prayer bench and think about what God was trying to communicate to me that morning.  Don't turn from it to the right or left Reading, knowing, meditating and memorizing God's word is important but incomplete.  God's intention is that we are so influenced by his commands that it affects our daily behavior.  This is what made Joshua one of the greatest generals and leaders of all time.  And that is what we will cover in the next chapter.
