This week's episode of Management Matters with James-Christian Blockwood features key selections from a recent Academy Standing Panel. It is clear the federal government impacts local government, city and county leaders have always had to leverage federal resources, but can that continue given budget constraints and the increasingly partisan political environment? Panelists highlight the impact of federal decision-making on services to people in communities (and foreshadow that the pressure and consequences will soon be felt), raise important questions about the size of government and how budgets dictate policy, and suggests what changes and investments are needed going forward.Tanisha Briley, City Manager, Gaithersburg, MDMichael Jacobson, Deputy Director, King County Office of Performance Strategy & Budget, WAVince Micone, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Operations, Department of LaborAlso featured on the full event: Abby Andre, Executive Director of the IMPACT ProjectChris Koliba, Edwin O.

Christ's love is the driving force behind everything we do at Legacy Church. We believe that being animated by His love means we are called to serve first, just as He came not to be served but to serve. This love moves us to take the initiative to care for others, whether within our church family or the broader community. We believe authentic leadership begins with service and are committed to leading by example. By being the first to serve, we demonstrate the depth of Christ's love and create a culture where serving others is a joyful privilege, not a burden.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/Join us in person:https://legacychurchhutto.comIntro music used with permission:Dreamers by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com

I love Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory. It's an amazing economic simulation with huge ambitions. And yet, it rarely comes to the table. The reason is simple. It takes about half an hour to set up. You have to separate card decks, shuffle them, put a number of different components into different locations and do various other things before you can start playing. While Hegemony is a heavy game, it's not its complexity that is the problem. It's the effort of setting it up. That made me think about whether a critical board game review should consider this or if this is more the remit of a product review.Read the full topic discussion article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/08/12/critical-products-product-reviews-vs-critical-reviews-topic-discussion/Useful LinksStonemaier Games: https://stonemaiergames.com/Fled review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/07/26/fled-saturday-review/Mystic Vale review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2018/12/08/mystic-vale/MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Success by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.comMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comMusic by: BensoundLicense code: XYJHH24GPPT8BJ8GArtist: : Benjamin TissotMusic by: bensound.comLicense code: H45DI1U3YDTYLGF5Artist: : Lunar YearsMusic I Use: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: ZX5IAGTXWISS2AEZArtist: : AventureMusic by: https://www.bensound.comLicense code: DMMTAKZV5MTBQDPIArtist: : Yunior ArronteSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/(Photo by Towfiqu barbhuiya on Unsplash)

What if everything you did—every word, every task, every interaction—was done as if you were doing it for Jesus Himself?Dedicated to Excellence – At Legacy Church, we believe God deserves our very best—not leftovers. Whether in worship, teaching, serving, or simply how we treat one another, we aim to go beyond the minimum and do all things well, as if serving the Lord Himself (Colossians 3:17, 23). Excellence isn't perfection—it's honoring God by giving our time, talent, and treasure with a good attitude, even when people may not seem to “deserve” it. From praying over coffee pods to meeting people exactly where they are, we strive to reflect God's love in every detail.

We are driven by the conviction that the Gospel is meant to disrupt complacency and transform lives. We challenge both cultural norms and church traditions that hinder the full expression of Christ's love and truth. This disruptive spirit is not about being contrary for its own sake but about faithfully living out the gospel's radical message. We strive to be agents of change, willing to step outside our comfort zones, embrace the unexpected, and make bold moves for the kingdom of God. Our mission is to disrupt the ordinary with the gospel's extraordinary power, bringing light to dark places and hope to those who have none.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/Join us in person:https://legacychurchhutto.comIntro music used with permission:Dreamers by Mixaund | https://mixaund.bandcamp.com
