A new kind of monster.
What happens when a former assistant principal chooses to return to the middle school classroom and discovers a deeper, wider form of leadership than the front office ever offered? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with David James, seventh grade social studies teacher, lead mentor, and conference director for the North Carolina Association for Middle Level Education, about what it really means to lead where your feet are. David shares how his journey from substitute teacher to AP and back to the classroom reshaped his view of growth mindset, professional learning, and influence, and why he now sees every student in his 1,200 student building as “his kid.” He breaks down the BT support structures at Harold E. Winkler Middle School, including a non evaluative mentoring model and weekly Wolf Pack Workshop PD that is led by teachers for teachers, and explains why consistency, clear structures, and teaming are non negotiables in middle level education. The conversation closes with a preview of the upcoming NCMLE conference in Charlotte, where David is conference director, and a powerful challenge to aspiring and current leaders to connect beyond their buildings and invest deeply in the roles they already hold, rather than chasing titles. About David James David is an 18 year veteran of K-12 education. He started his teaching journey as a graduate of Ohio University in 2007. After moving to North Carolina in the fall of 2011, David became part of the inaugural teaching staff at the award winning Harold E. Winkler Middle School, a 6-8 International Baccalaureate school located in Concord, NC, 15 miles north of Charlotte. David currently serves in multiple teacher-leadership capacities at HWMS. As an English/Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher, Lead Mentor of the school's highly successful beginning teacher mentoring program, School Leadership Team representative, and 7th grade level chair, David leans on his experience and enthusiasm in the classroom to influence kids, teachers, and parents in hopes of having a positive impact on student achievement. His student-first mindset in the classroom leading to positive results both academically and behaviorally with students, has been highlighted in multiple EDU publications including Culture First Classrooms: Leadership, Relationships, and Practices That Transform Schools by Dr. Darrin Peppard and Katie Kinder. At the state level, David serves on the North Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Board of Directors as both the Marketing and Conference Directors. He is proud to organize and bring the annual conference to life that hosts 500+ middle school educators in a celebration of learning and growth. You can learn more about NCMLE at ncmle.org and on their social media outlets. All this to say, David's favorite roles are as a husband to his beautiful wife Erin and father to his 8 year old son Aiden.

Miss Georgia Peach returns with an anthem for all hockey fans, The Silent Treatment’s new single is a great rant against promoters who promise exposure instead of cash, and Geoff Palmer gives a musical shout out to one of his favorite bars (where he’s also appearing this weekend). There’s also great debuts by the usual suspects – Numb Surprise, Brad Marino, Jim Basnight, UltraBomb, Phil Cook & The Fall Dogs, wht.rbbt.obj, and The Rockerati. The Sleeveens announce an upcoming new album with a blistering new single, and new releases by The Melmacs, Goat Yoga, Mod Lang and Twisted Teens have me already taking notes for this year’s best albums list.

Get the notes!Understanding the Foundations: An Introduction to 1 JohnAs we begin a new journey through the First Epistle of John, we must first lay a firm foundation. Before diving into a verse-by-verse exegesis, it is vital to understand the “why” and “who” behind this powerful letter. In our latest teaching at Let's Talk Scripture, we explore the apostolic authority of John and the urgent historical context that prompted this writing.The Apostle of Love and TruthThe evidence for the Apostle John's authorship is overwhelming. From the linguistic parallels with the Fourth Gospel to the intimate, eyewitness perspective of the “Word made flesh,” this epistle carries the weight of one who personally leaned on the breast of Jesus. John doesn't just teach theology; he testifies to what his own hands have handled.Combatting the Spirit of AntichristThe primary battleground of 1 John is the defense of the Incarnation. In the first century, a heresy known as Docetism (an early form of Gnosticism) began to infiltrate the church. These teachers claimed that because matter is evil, Jesus could not have possessed a physical body.John's response is definitive: If Jesus did not have a physical body, He could not die. If He did not die, our sins are not paid for. The physical death of Christ was “absolutely necessary and critical” to satisfy the wrath of God against sin.A Circular Journey of FaithUnlike a linear argument, 1 John is circular. It repeatedly returns to three foundational pillars:Truth: Maintaining a correct Christology (Jesus is God in the flesh).Love: The essential requirement of loving the brethren as a mark of true faith.Fellowship: Walking in the light by acknowledging our sin and relying on the Spirit.New Release: 1 John Comprehensive Lesson PackageTo help you, your small group, or your congregation dive deeper into these truths, we have released a complete 1 John Study Package. This resource is formatted for professional publication and is ready for immediate use in any teaching environment.What's Inside the Package?Publication-Style Outline: A comprehensive, numbered breakdown of the entire introductory lesson.Complete Bible Study Lesson: A detailed teaching manuscript following the NASB 1995 Updated Edition. Teacher & Student Guides: Tailored resources with discussion prompts, key Greek terms, and reflection questions. Interactive Quiz & Answer Sheet: A 10-question assessment with full theological explanations for every answer.Video Integration Notes: This entire package is meticulously timestamped to our “Introduction to 1 John” video, making it an ideal companion for digital learning or classroom settings.[Download the Complete 1 John Lesson Package Here]Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

Many parents interpret their teen's behavior as disrespect—but what if your child is actually trying to answer a deeper question: Do I belong here? When we get triggered, our brains can quickly jump to worst-case assumptions about our teenagers—their attitude, their silence, their choices. That's where the biggest disconnects happen, and it's often not about defiance at all. It's about misunderstanding what teens need as they navigate identity, independence, and connection. In this episode, Dr. Kelly and I unpack some of the most common parenting pitfalls that create tension at home—and how to avoid them. We talk about how to stay calm in the moments that matter most, what's really going on developmentally with teens, and practical strategies you can start using today to build more trust, communication, and emotional safety in your relationship.

God’s love is tender—spiritual healing for shame, fear, and a harsh world where hearts get bruised. In this personal episode, Catherine shares what the Lord has been ministering to her for years: God is tender. Yes, He’s strong. Yes, He’s masterful. But when He comes for the human heart—your pain points, your confusion, your “I did it again” places—He doesn’t come with a sledgehammer. He comes safe. He comes kind. He comes with the tenderness that restores you from the inside out. If you’ve been living with anger, skepticism, or that low-grade inner ache that says, “I’m not enough,” this is for you. Catherine unpacks why a soft answer turns away wrath (Proverbs 15:1), and how tenderness disarms the fear underneath rage—both in others and in us. You’ll hear why condemnation is never God’s voice, why you can’t grow by beating yourself up, and how the Good Shepherd trains us to recognize His voice—the voice that carries you home (John 10). She also walks through the healing truth behind patterns we keep returning to (Romans 7): God doesn’t “rip things out” of you like magic. He heals you relationally—step by step—until you’re willing to release what you once believed you couldn’t live without. That’s identity in Christ maturing into freedom. That’s inner healing that actually lasts. If you’re tired of harsh religion, tired of trying harder, and ready to experience God’s heart as tender and relentless love—press play.

Educators are exhausted, overextended, and still trying to show up fully for kids. So what does it actually look like to build a sustainable life and career in schools instead of just surviving the year? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Kim Gameroz to celebrate the launch of her new book Becoming the BISON and explore how teachers can "be intentional so others notice" in ways that protect their wellness, elevate their impact, and spark real change on campus. Kim shares why she believes educators are like bison. They move bravely into the storm rather than away from it. She unpacks her core shifts: courage over comfort, clarity over compliance, and connection over control, especially in the face of student behavior, burnout, and broken systems. She also pulls back the curtain on her Celebrate Good Times community, the Vibe EDU podcast, and the high energy Vibe EDU live event in Anaheim, designed to surround teachers with a herd that refuses to let them do this work alone. About Kim Gameroz Kim Gameroz, M.Ed., is a change agent and founder of Teaching Inside Out, revolutionizing classrooms through a systematic approach to teaching social and emotional skills. With over 15 years of experience coaching, training, and mentoring educators, students, and families globally, Kim has spoken at numerous conferences, consults for school districts, serves on SEL panels, and contributes to various publications and podcasts. Through Teaching Inside Out, as well as her second company, SELebrate Good Times, she has created a supportive community for heart-centered educators nationwide where she is committed to making teachers feel seen, valued, and SELebrated at her events and teacher retreats. Kim's upcoming book, "Becoming The Bison," is set to be published in 2025. She currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband, Shaun, and son, Wyatt, and is looking forward to spreading her knowledge of SEL and best practices in teaching even further to schools, districts, and homes around the world. Visit SELebrate Good Times to learn more about the teacher community that is changing lives all over the country, and her annual National SELebration: The Bloom!

In this episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine speaks to the very real, heavy anxiety Jesus addressed in His disciples—anxiety that was understandable, even “well-founded.” And she names something crucial: many believers feel condemned for having fear, as if anxiety proves they’re failing at faith. But trouble in the heart isn’t a shame sentence—it’s an invitation to encounter God again and let His presence re-order your inner world. Catherine weaves together three anchors for your nervous system and your spirit: John 14:1 (Amplified, Classic)—Jesus calls you out of turmoil and into trust; John 14:27 (Amplified, Classic)—He gives His own peace, not a fragile substitute; and Mark 4:35–40 (TPT)—Jesus doesn’t just calm storms, He confronts the fear underneath them. She also reminds us that fruit like love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control grows as we “remain” in Him—and that while our awareness can wax and wane, God stays rock-steady and present. Real talk: Problems don’t always resolve on the timeline you’d script. Jesus said tribulation is part of this world. But God is faithful in the long game of love—redeeming, strengthening, and carrying you through what you didn’t choose. If your heart is troubled today, you’re not disqualified… you’re being met.

We hear it all the time. “You just need to move on.” But what if moving on is not actually what creates healing?In this episode, I explore the difference between moving on and moving forward, and why this distinction matters so much when you have lived through something painful, meaningful, or life-shaping.Moving on often implies erasing, minimizing, or trying to be unaffected by what happened. Moving forward is different. It is integrative. It allows you to carry the wisdom while releasing the weight.I share how unprocessed experiences do not disappear just because time passes, and how real healing comes from allowing an experience to have a place without letting it define your future.You will also learn the three-step process I teach for moving forward in a grounded, practical way:The Extraction Process — identifying what you are taking with youThe Release Process — letting go of what was never yours to carryThe Integration Process — allowing the experience to inform how you live nowWe also explore why forgiveness is often misunderstood, and how it naturally unfolds when integration has occurred rather than being something you force.If you have ever wondered why something from your past still carries emotional charge, or how to move forward without bypassing what mattered, this episode will meet you there.Resources mentioned:My book In Pursuit (available in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, and Audible)Work with me: https://jessicasmarro.comIf this episode resonated, I would love to hear what stayed with you.

This spiritual growth book explores Linda Pruden’s experience as a dementia caregiver for her husband. Inspired by his own determination to find spiritual gifts embedded in the journey, her story provides encouragement for those living with a chronic illness and the people who love them. “A powerful read for caregivers facing the journey of caring for someone with dementia. Her growth and faith over years of caring for Rob is an amazing blend of self-discovery and acceptance. An incredibly validating and relatable read.” —Lisa M. Brown, MSW, LISW, caregiver services program coordinator for Lyngblomsten Community Services When Linda’s husband, Rob, was diagnosed with dementia, he described it as a gift and an opportunity to grow spiritually. As things grew more difficult, Linda remembered these words and began her mission to live out his hopes. Offering a fresh, positive outlook on serving as a dementia caregiver, From Fear to Peace is a reassuring road map for any faith-testing journey. Linda Knebel Pruden is an author and national speaker residing in St. Paul, Minnesota. She received her master’s degree in speech/language pathology from Purdue University, and went on to write five books for teachers, as well as her award-winning memoir, Reflections on a Changing Family. Having grown through the experience of being a caretaker, it is now her passion to help others unbury their own truths and find beauty in painful times. This book covers caring for dementia, but is also an essential read for . . . people hoping for spiritual growth and peace, those looking to effectively provide caregiver support, and families needing a guide for walking in grace. During the hardest of times, Linda’s words help readers to let go of expectations and hold tight to hope . . . it’s only then that we can move from fear to peace. “Linda has created tools that will guide you through those darkest hours of transitions and fears. It is a story of empowerment and gratitude.” —Kristin Burich, healing facilitator About the author Linda Knebel Pruden is an author and national speaker residing in St. Paul, Minnesota.

When they come back upstairs, Patrick looks down and sees a sea of bullet casings—more than he'd ever seen in 25 years.Three people are dead. Cops were almost killed.
