Trump-era executive orders, police hiring standards, and college admissions all converge in a decades-long debate over disparate impact, one of the most misunderstood yet consequential doctrines in civil rights law. In this episode of Stanford Legal, Professor Ralph Richard Banks, faculty director of the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, joins host Professor Pamela Karlan for a deep dive into how the disparate impact doctrine really works, why it matters, and what's at stake when it's attacked in the name of “meritocracy.” From the landmark Griggs case to modern college admissions, Banks dissects the arguments on all sides—showing how this sometimes-vilified legal doctrine not only helps root out discrimination, but can also strengthen, rather than undermine, meritocracy. Links:Rick Banks >>> Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00) Introduction to Executive Orders and Disparate Impact (00:03:30) The Function and Impact of Universities in Society (00:09:46) Understanding Different Measures of Merit (00:13:20) Legacy Preferences and Nepotistic Systems (00:18:16) Disparate Impact in Standardized Testing (00:23:38) The Future of College Admissions and Rick Banks' Upcoming Book

This week we have Dr. Stephen Yuille in the studio again. During his last visit, he told us about a reading challenge through George Swinnock's The Blessed and Boundless God. Today, Dr. Yuille and Dr. John Snyder have a broader discussion in mind. Because of his profession and experience, many people ask Dr. Yuille how they can read and benefit more from the Puritans. He sought to develop a concise, systematic, scalable answer to that question. Instead of trying to read as much of Puritan writings as possible, Dr. Yuille encourages us to approach these spiritual giants devotionally. Just read a few pages each day. Reformation Heritage Books Puritan Treasures for Today is a great place to start. These books have been edited and modernized to remove the language barrier so many find difficult to overcome. Dr. Yuille's approach is to take six books and read them across six months. The goal is not quantity of reading but quality. Read the Puritans as they intended their books to be read. Read them with your heart, not just your mind. Meditate on what you read that day. We believe, as Dr. Yuille does, this is wonderful food for your soul and your will benefit by this practice. Each of the books Dr. Yuille suggests starting with are listed below with links to where you can find them. Want a great introduction to the Puritans?

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Jenny McCarthy to talk about the personal journey that led her to launch Formless Beauty—a cosmetics brand redefining what “clean beauty” really means. What began as a health transformation for Jenny, prompted by autoimmune struggles and a genetic mutation diagnosis, quickly evolved into a deeper frustration with the lack of transparency in the beauty industry.Formless Beauty was born out of necessity, not trend-chasing. Jenny reveals how she went from frustrated consumer to full-time founder and CEO, dedicating herself to creating products that exclude over 900 questionable ingredients—phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and more. This isn't a white-labeled celebrity brand; it's a mission-driven line that has earned trust from immunocompromised users, including cancer and lupus patients.Throughout the episode, Jenny breaks down the problems with the current “clean beauty” landscape, including misleading marketing tactics, unregulated terms, and self-appointed certifications. She also calls attention to the alarming rise in young children using full-face cosmetics, urging parents to get educated about ingredients that could disrupt hormonal development.Jenny's passion and leadership are undeniable—from formulating a water-resistant, toxin-free mascara to hosting weekly TikToks to educate her audience. Her story is about advocacy, integrity, and building something she couldn't find on the shelves. Tune in to hear how Formless Beauty is changing the clean beauty narrative—and why it's not about hype, but health.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction to Jenny McCarthy and Her Journey(1:01) Jenny's Health Journey and the Birth of Formless Beauty(3:27) The Challenges of Creating Clean Beauty Products(6:12) Building a Brand with EWG Guidelines(9:40) Overcoming Obstacles in Clean Beauty Innovation(12:38) The Importance of Transparency in Beauty Products(15:36) Addressing the Misconception of Celebrity Brands(17:41) The Impact of Social Media and Influencers on Young Consumers(21:15) The Need for Role Models in Beauty and ConfidenceTo learn more about Jenny McCarthy, visit her social media.

Below The Iron Gate: A Journey to Spiritual FreedomIn this episode of the Teen Draw Near to God Poetry Podcast, host Shirah Chante, Relationship Artist, reads an original poem titled Below: The Iron Gate. She discusses the spiritual implications of the poem, drawing from biblical texts, notably the story of Peter's miraculous release from prison as narrated in Acts 12:10. Shirah Chante examines themes such as overcoming obstacles, the spiritual journey of Israel becoming a state, and how love triumphs despite hate. She shares personal reflections on her love at first sight and invites listeners to participate in the Relationship Rescue Plan to foster a deeper connection with God. The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer for freedom from life's symbolic iron gates.00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:39 Drawing Near to God02:10 Introducing the Poem 'Below'02:52 Reading and Analyzing the Poem04:06 The Story Behind 'Israel Became a State'07:04 Love Stories in the Bible13:50 The Iron Gate in the Bible19:41 Praying for Freedom and Guidance22:46 Conclusion and Invitation

Have you ever found yourself thinking... “It’s all been done.” “What if I start and fail?” “What if my voice doesn’t matter?” “What if it’s already too late?” If so, you're not alone—and this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast is one you can’t miss. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with author and speaker Mary Marantz to talk about her brand-new book, Underestimated. In it, she speaks directly to the fears and excuses that keep us stuck in place—silent, small, and sidelined from the calling God has placed on our hearts. Together, we talk about how to move from stuck to start, how to quiet the inner critic (and the outer ones too), and why your voice does matter in this world. Mary shares not only the wisdom she’s gleaned but also practical, grace-filled steps to help you finally quit playing small and step into the story God has written just for you. You are not too late. You are not too much. And you are certainly not underqualified. Let’s stop sitting on the sidelines and start walking in faith—one small, brave step at a time.

How many times have you been stuck waiting for that magical lightning bolt of motivation to finally get things done? I know I have, countless times. But here's the truth I've learned, and it's what I want to share with you today: motivation is a lie we tell ourselves. In this episode, I'm laying it all out. I'm not waiting for some feeling to strike me before I tackle what needs to be done, and neither should you. Real change, the kind that sticks, starts with action–whether you feel like it or not. I'll be sharing some of my own struggles and the practical steps I've taken to break free from this motivation trap. For me, it became about more than just my own goals; it was about showing up as the dad my kids deserve. That intention, that commitment to them, became the real kickstarter. In this episode, I'm diving into: Why this whole idea of 'finding motivation' before starting is complete BS. The powerful realization I had: taking action actually creates the motivation you're waiting for. The simple, actionable strategies I use to get moving, even on those days when I feel like I'm dragging myself through mud. How focusing on the 'why' – especially the 'why' behind being a great dad – can be the ultimate fuel for consistent action. The incredible momentum you build in your life, and for your family, by taking those small, consistent steps, even when you don't feel like it. Look, I've seen the research, and it backs this up. Behavioral science shows that just doing something, anything, can shift your mindset and create that positive feedback loop. And as dads, we know our actions set the tone. When we show up, even when it's hard, our kids see that. So, if you're ready to stop waiting for a feeling and start taking control, this episode is for you.
