Podcasts about moving away

In this episode of the Stellar Teacher Podcast, Emily and Tami discuss the pressures teachers face to make every lesson extraordinary. They explore the impact of social media on teacher expectations, the importance of setting realistic reading goals, and the value of establishing routines in the classroom. The conversation emphasizes that not every lesson needs to be perfect, and that building relationships with students is more important than delivering flawless lessons.Key Takeaways:Not every lesson needs to be amazing.Social media creates unrealistic expectations for teachers.Teaching is a marathon, not a sprint.Focus on one key element in lesson planning.Routines help free up mental space for both teachers and students.Learning is cumulative; students will revisit concepts.It's about how you make students feel in the classroom.Set a timer to combat perfectionism in planning.Games can be integrated into routines for engagement.Teachers are doing an amazing job despite challenges.Chapters00:00 Introduction and 03:38 Setting Reading Goals04:39 The Pressure of Perfection in Teaching06:47 Advice for Moving Away from Perfectionism09:34 The Importance of Routines12:39 Engagement Strategies in the Classroom14:02 Lesson Delivery and Student Learning16:13 Final Thoughts and Encouragement for TeachersResources:Join The Stellar Literacy CollectiveGet the Stellar Intervention ToolkitSign up for my Private Podcast: Confident Writer Systems SeriesSign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email seriesIf you're enjoying this podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

Moving Away From ComplexityLeaders Make It Better "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 (ESV) What is the purpose of pruning… that less… produces more As organizations, ministries, leaders grow, so does complexity. However, complexity is not a necessity. Great leaders make things better—not by adding more, but by doing less, better. As I write this, SpaceX launched its first rocket of the year early this morning. Last year set a record for the number of launches, and this year is already on track to surpass it. SpaceX has pioneered lower-cost rockets that not only launch but return safely to Earth—a concept that was considered impossible just a few years ago. But a team of the best engineers on the planet, paired with a visionary leader willing to attempt the unthinkable, proved the doubters wrong. I recently saw Elon Musk post a picture showing the evolution of their Raptor rocket engines. These engines are ultimately designed to carry humanity to Mars. But to me, the true marvel lies in how each version has been refined. Raptor 1 looked like a tangled mess of wires, tubes, and complexity. It worked, but it was difficult to build, maintain, and reproduce. Raptor 2 was a major step forward—cleaner, more streamlined, and a genuine engineering breakthrough. Yet, the team didn't stop there. Raptor 3, the latest version, is elegant in its simplicity. It's powerful, efficient, and ruthlessly refined— the result of hundreds of intentional decisions to remove what didn't belong and simplify what remained. Elon Musk's team didn't arrive here by accident. They followed a radical but effective design philosophy. "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise. Delete it. Simplify. Optimize. Accelerate. Only then do you automate." This isn't just how you build rockets; it's a masterclass in leading toward simplicity. When I arrived at Grace eight years ago, we found over 50 separate ministries operating under the banner of the church. Most were siloed, competing with one another for resources and attention. We made the intentional decision to move from 50 things to four. It was a deliberate shift away from complexity. It's a timeless problem. As organizations grow, complexity inevitably creeps in. Often, it's not bad things, it's good things that no longer serve the mission. Sacred cows. Outdated processes. Organizational comfort zones. If we don't intentionally prune them, we'll never move with the power and speed the Spirit desires. Remember the words of Jesus: "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 What Space X Can Teach Leaders 1. Question Everything "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise." As leaders, it's our responsibility to question every process, system, and program we engage with. We should consistently ask, "Does this serve the mission?"—until we can either validate it or eliminate it. Why do we hold this meeting? How many of these programs are truly necessary? Can one person do this instead of two? Can this leader handle more responsibility? Why does it take three classes and three months to move someone toward membership? How hard is it to onboard new leaders? Why are we using more than one communication platform? Just because something worked in a past move of God doesn't mean it belongs in the next. 2. Delete, Delete, Delete You can't simplify clutter. Before you simplify, you must eliminate. Craig Groeschel challenges his leaders to keep a "stop doing list" alongside their "to-do list." It's logical—you can't add something new until you remove something old. This year, we made the decision to eliminate our Midweek Fire service to make room for the mission. We asked: Why do we need two weekly services focused on awakening—especially when Sunday is already our strongest and most effective service for that purpose? By removing the Wednesday service, we created space and opportunity for more Grace Groups to meet on campus. That shift better aligns with our vision to train and send. What weekly or monthly meeting can be eliminated or consolidated? What process or system could lose a step or two? What volunteer or leader could be repositioned or reallocated? I promise, you can do more than you think, with less than you think you need. Eliminate what no longer helps people discover life in all its fullness. 3. Clarify What Remains Once something is stripped down to its essential parts, you must then clarify it. Every program, system, activity needs a clear and identifiable win. Every leader needs a clear and simple expectation. Clarity is essential for both mission and movement. What is the win for our Sunday service? What's the expectation for Next Steps? What's the goal of your weekly connection points? What's the purpose of your one-on-one meetings? "Write the vision; make it plain… so that he may run who reads it." (Habakkuk 2:2) Clarity empowers people to run with vision. 4. Accelerate Timeframes What is your big, bold goal for this year? What if you accelerated your timeframe? Instead of going for it slowly over the year, what if you hit it hard for 90 days? Chances are you will not make it… but what if you do? Or how much further will you be along the journey because you accelerated? When you move swiftly and quickly, it might be messy, but it could also be more missional! Remember, the Acts church moved fast because they trusted the Spirit and empowered people. So can we. 5. Automate Last I love automation. This is where systems and programs operate without your constant intervention. However The temptation is to automate first. However if you automate while there is still clutter you will only create confusion. This is why automation is the last step. Today there is a wealth of tools and resources that can steam-line processes, automate tasks and communications. Before you lock them in… make sure that the process has been perfected. Leaders Make It Better This is one of Grace World's 5 Core Leadership Behaviors: Leaders Make It Better. It means we leave things better than we found them. We don't settle for "this is how we've always done it." We treat "it is what it is" like a curse word. We question everything. We eliminate what's unnecessary. We clarify constantly. We move at the speed of the Spirit. And we multiply what matters. As leaders, we take initiative to clear obstacles. We don't wait for someone else to do it. Questions 1. What is one area in your ministry you can simplify this week to make it better? 2. What is a system, step, or sacred cow that needs to be challenged? 3. Where have you settled for the status quo instead of stewarding revival? "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." – 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Follow Up Questions What is on thing you will STOP doing in the next 30 days? What is one thing you need to SIMIPLIFY in your life immediately? What is one BIG BOLD goal you can SPEED up?

I've made over $15 million selling online courses over the years… but here's the thing — I stopped selling them. And no, it's not because courses don't work. It's because the business model changed…buyers changed…and honestly, I changed. In this video, I'm breaking down the three reasons I walked away from online courses, what I'm doing instead, and — most importantly — how to know if courses still make sense for your business in 2026.

On June 22, 2025, the U.S. air force sent B2 bombers to destroy Iran's nuclear sites. Five days before that, on June 17, Hussein Aboubakr Mansour, observing the extent of Israel's military operations inside of Iran and its destruction of Iran's proxy network, published an essay in Mosaic with a counterintuitive argument: Israel's devastating strikes on the Islamic Republic would not lead to an Arab embrace of the Jewish state. Most observers assumed the opposite, that weakening Iran would accelerate normalization and that gratitude and commercial interests would drive the Gulf states closer to Jerusalem. Mansour argued instead that removing the Iranian threat would reduce the incentives for the Saudis to normalize relations with Israel. Seven months later, Mansour has written a follow-up analysis showing that recent events have borne out his thesis—and indeed exceeded his cautious predictions. Saudi Arabia hasn't just declined to normalize with Israel. It has launched an aggressive regional repositioning campaign, weaponizing anti-Zionism as a competitive instrument against the first Abraham Accords signatory, the United Arab Emirates. Mansour's latest piece, published this week in his Abrahamic Metacritique Substack, proposes a new way to grapple with the reality of two major changes that are decisively shaping regional dynamics: first, the dismantling of Iran's axis of resistance, and second, the changing nature of America's role in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Israel now each conduct foreign policy in order to optimize their particular national advantages with neither a dominant common adversary, as Iran was, nor the common umbrella of American leadership. Under these circumstances, Mansour argues, anti-Zionism will remain strategically useful and even grow in its political utility. He discusses all of this with Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver.

This is a long overdue update on what has been going on with me for the past months. A lot has changed - including me, that will now also effect the podcast and everything I will be sharing with you.I've had a major mental health relapse, didn't want to live anymore and noticed my eating disorder flaring up again too - all because of a major overwhelm with life, feeling lonely and insignificant.This lead me to a new path, that i'm still terrified of, but also feels important - not just for my own health and life moving forward.The podcast will be retitled and from now on I'll speak more about "HOW TO NAVIGATE LIFE, when shit Iits the fan" - because as much as all the spiritual tools can support us - the ANSWERS for our missing INSTRUCTION MANUAL in life are not "out there" , but within and the conversations we will have here, hopefully help you find that CLARITY, HOPE, INSPIRATION and GUIDANCE inside again, when you feel lost and confused in the dark alone.Feel free to reach out any time via email: info@abracadabrababy.de if you would like me to address one of your struggles in an episode for you and someone else struggling out there too!Big hugs,Katharina

What does it really take to create a culture of safety in schools—one that doesn't rely on fear, but instead builds on trust, empathy, and collective responsibility? In this conversation, school leaders explored how safety culture is shaped by the relationships, routines, and reinforcements that happen every day. From defining the difference between climate and culture to empowering teachers and students to play a meaningful role, the conversation emphasized the human-centered work of prevention.Culture vs. Climate: Culture is the shared behavior and "doing"; climate is the perception or "feeling." Building culture leads to lasting change.Everyone's Responsibility: Safety isn't just the job of one person—it's a shared responsibility that includes teachers, staff, students, and families.Behavioral Change Takes Intention: Culture grows through reinforcement—modeling, training, clear expectations, and positive feedback.Teacher Superpower: Teachers know their students' baseline behaviors better than anyone. When empowered and supported, they're a frontline asset in threat detection.Communication is Prevention: Open communication between staff, students, and families builds trust and ensures concerns don't go unheard.Measure What Matters: Safety culture can—and should—be measured, but it starts with identifying what your community values.Simple Systems Matter: Easy-to-use tools like student concern forms and clearly defined scripts make it easier for everyone to take action.Leadership Sets the Tone: School and district leaders model the culture they want to see and must build systems that reflect that vision.

Hola Amiga,  We are half-way through the year, and we want to encourage you look inward to check-in with your heart.  What has been owning your heart lately that might need a closer look or to be fully surrendered to the Lord?  Have you given your worries, stress and anxiety to the Lord?  He is always inviting us into somewhere new and fresh, and wants to be with us in all details.  He does not require perfection, He just wants our “yes” to him, but are you trusting Him with the process? What are your goals and dreams for this year? And have you allowed the Lord to lead your steps?  Love your,  Amigas!    Connect with us:  Instagram: @Amigaarise  https://www.instagram.com/amigaarise/   Facebook: @Amiga Arise https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083723596616   Email: Amigaarise@gmail.com Website: https://www.amigaarise.com

Peter Schiff rebukes Wall Street's false triumph over a China trade deal, dissects Trump's failed tariffs, and criticizes misguided drug pricing policies and questionable gifts from foreign nations.Sign up for a $1/month trial period at https://shopify.com/goldIn this episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter Schiff critiques the perceived celebration on Wall Street over a supposed trade deal with China, which he calls 'fake news.' He argues that rather than achieving a deal, President Trump merely rolled back the heavy tariffs he had initially imposed, with no substantial progress or concessions from China. Schiff contends that Trump's moves were a strategic surrender rather than a negotiation victory and attributes market reactions, such as stock rallies and gold price drops, to a relief from avoided economic damages. Schiff also criticizes Trump's populist actions such as advocating for drug price controls and accepting a questionable $400 million jet from Qatar. Schiff concludes by discussing the implications for markets and reiterates his advice on investing in gold and foreign currencies to protect against economic instability.⭐️ Sign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.com

Garth Heckman TDAgiantSlayer@gmail.com  The David Alliance   The Journey Away: Understanding Why Individuals Leave the Christian Faith Understanding the Journey Away from Faith Faith deconstruction, within the context of Christianity, refers to a process where individuals critically examine and potentially reject the religious beliefs they once held as true…. I don't believe it is a critically examined decision. I think 100% of the time it is emotional.  Remember what Fatigue makes cowards out of all of us. Vince Lombardi… I feel it is the same way when we walk away. We become fatigued in our walk. We let the struggles of life beat us up and drain us. We want a quick fix, we want a “feel good moment”, we have dissapointments… but they are all based on our feelings.    Seeds of Doubt and Disillusionment start out as feelings from things that did not go our way.  One significant factor involves negative experiences with the church itself.  The role of parental influence and the strength of religious reinforcement during childhood also play a critical part in the development and retention of faith.  If Mom and Dad do not have an active vibrant and powerful walk with God… you are more prone to walk away or at least never dive in deep.    Moreover, higher education and exposure to diverse perspectives can introduce substantial challenges to established religious beliefs. The experience of being challenged with new ideas and concepts that contradict religious teachings, often encountered in college or university settings, is a significant factor in the rejection of religious beliefs.  deconversion process.  The Weight of Experience: How Personal Struggles Can Erode Faith Personal experiences, especially those involving suffering and disappointment, can significantly erode an individual's faith. Trauma, loss, and the perception of unanswered prayers often prompt individuals to question their relationship with God and the tenets of their Christian belief.  Similarly, the experience of perceived unanswered prayers can lead to feelings of doubt and abandonment, or question the efficacy of prayer itself and the nature of God's involvement in the world.  Intellectual Challenges to Christian Beliefs Intellectual challenges pose a significant hurdle for some individuals in maintaining their Christian faith.  Conflicts between religious dogma and scientific understanding, particularly concerning the origins of the universe and life (e.g., evolution versus creationism, the age of the earth) , also contribute to a shift away from faith.  Furthermore, the intellectual struggle with the problem of evil –  The Social Landscape: Influence of Community and Culture on Faith Social and cultural factors wield considerable influence on an individual's faith journey and can significantly contribute to the decision to walk away from Christianity. Interactions with people holding different beliefs can challenge the exclusivity claims often made by Christianity.  Emotional and Psychological Aspects of Faith Deconstruction The process of faith deconstruction is often accompanied by a complex array of emotional and psychological experiences.Feelings of guilt may arise from questioning or doubting long-held beliefs, often deeply ingrained by religious teachings that emphasize unwavering faith. This internalized pressure can lead to significant anxiety and the fear of divine punishment or social ostracism.     Phases of Transition: Understanding the Stages of Moving Away from Faith Individuals moving away from their Christian faith often go through a series of stages or phases. The process typically begins with initial questioning and doubt, often triggered by specific events, intellectual challenges, or personal struggles.This initial phase can be marked by cognitive dissonance and a struggle to reconcile emerging uncertainties with existing beliefs.    Following this, individuals may enter a stage of exploration, actively seeking out alternative perspectives and critically evaluating religious doctrines. This involves intellectual engagement with viewpoints that differ from their religious upbringing and a willingness to examine the foundational tenets of Christian belief.    Some would say that the process of walking away from God is a multi faceted process with many limbs and tentacles and can happen in many many ways… I think it is more simplistic than that…. I believe it truly comes down to The Impact of Isolation from other believers.  We see people all the time who become separated and secluded from others and that is the first step to walking from their faith.  I don't just mean alone, but alone with the wrong people. Isolation causes inflammation of ones of ones information. Meaning when we see only one side of life, problems, religions, and we isolate ourselves form solid Christian relationships - these things become inflamed and infected in our psyche and soul and spirit. Slowly killing us.  Why is scripture so strategic in continuing to meet as believers and that we are a body… because God in his infinite wisdom knows that isolation kills us.  Stay plugged in, stay in church, stay in your bible study, stay in your Xn friends lives.
