Podcasts about Participation

The Catechism has shown us how the common good begins with the good of the individual. It further shows us that each individual can participate in the pursuit of the common good for all—and that this participation is not optional, but an obligation. Fr. Mike explains the nature of this obligation in quite simple terms: “see a need, fill a need.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1913-1927. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In this episode of Trail Society, Corrine Malcolm, Keely Henninger, and Hillary Allen dive into one of the biggest weeks in trail running, the 2025 UTMB Finals. From brutal weather and historically high dropout rates to some of the closest top-10 finishes ever, the crew breaks down all the drama across OCC, CCC, and UTMB. They highlight standout wins from Jim Walmsley, Ruth Croft, and Francesco Puppi, celebrate trailblazing performances from athletes representing countries new to the UTMB stage, and reflect on the growing but still uneven women's participation numbers. Beyond the race results, they explore what it means for athletes to double between UTMB, Hardrock, and upcoming World Championships, and touch on the ever-buzzing brand scene in Chamonix. Beyond the race, the crew highlights systemic challenges in sport: Strava and For All Mothers+ awarded $2,000 grants to 50 athlete-mothers to cover childcare costs and training expenses, directly addressing the “motherhood penalty” that prevents so many women from competing at the highest level. Tune in for a mix of insights, stories from the ground, and the unique perspective only this crew can bring.

Discipleship is really about two simple things: showing up and paying attention. When we participate with purpose and presence, we learn to trust, belong, and join God's work in the world. When we reflect on our experiences, we create space to see how love received becomes love expressed. Jesus modeled this perfectly—he took his disciples into real situations and then helped them process what they'd seen. In this rhythm of engaging and reflecting, we gradually become the kind of people for whom life with God feels less like work and more like a natural flow, where transformation happens not through striving but through grace.

Philippians 125-2:11

Year C – 13th Sunday after Pentecost; Lectionary 23 – September 7, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Psalm 1 Luke 14:25-33   Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, and from Jesus, our Savior, who urges us to choose life, so that we may live. Amen. *** These are some challenging words from Jesus today. …Reminds me of the good news from a few weeks ago, when Jesus said he did not come to bring peace, but division… these words make me catch my breath. Yet they are part of the Good News and have been set before us… and so today, we will wrestle with them… together. “Whoever comes to me and does not hate their family, and yes, even life itself, cannot be my disciple.” Is Jesus really telling us that… hate… is a mark of discipleship? Isn't God supposed to be all about love? Isn't the greatest commandment, above all the others… You shall love the Lord, your God, and then… you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself. Yes! Jesus did say that! …and it wasn't new information… he was drawing from Deuteronomy and Leviticus, which his listeners would have known. And what about the fourth commandment… You shall honor your father and mother? How are we to follow God's commandment to honor our parents if Jesus states that we cannot become his disciples unless we hate them? We call the gospels Good News… but Good News… isn't always easy to hear. And yet… it is still good. It is good because it comes from God, who is, indeed, all about love. But it requires us to make choices… choices between life and death… blessings and curses. Choose to fear and love the Lord, your God, above all else. The one who created you, who loved you into existence, desires for you to put God and God's commandments before everything else. Following God has always been about loving God above all else… because we are so loved. And we know… we know… that following God's will for us… that following God's commandments does, in fact, lead to a full life blessed with love and abundance… …it leads to communities that care for the needs of others, where all people are valued and supported, and where everyone has enough. Even though God desires for us to choose this life and these blessings… it still comes with a cost. See, the common thread between our texts today is God's desire for us to first recognize all that God offers us… all that God has laid out for us to consider… and then to make the choice, the only choice… that leads to a flourishing life. …not just for us alone, for we are not meant to be alone… but a flourishing life as communities that have chosen to love God above all else. Choose life… so that you may live… but count the costs of this life of discipleship so you don't make this choice blindly… and you will know …that what God offers is good. We know all about making choices… and we know all about making sacrifices for those choices. There are the little choices we make every day, like choosing a healthy lunch over fast food, because we know that while that burger and fries might taste great in the moment… if that was all we ate, every day… we wouldn't feel so great. And generally what you choose to eat for lunch doesn't become your whole identity… it doesn't demand that you put everything and everyone else as secondary. That would be crazy. But there are choices we make… sacrifices we make… that require this of us… like for example… the choice to play youth travel sports. Working in youth ministry, I regularly lamented the rise in popularity of youth travel sports. Maybe some of you have had your kids involved in travel teams, I don't know… And if you did and loved them, you might get angry with me about this… But here's my perspective from the ministry side of things. Whenever one of my church youth joined a travel team, it was pretty much the death blow to whatever life of faith they and their family had been developing until that point. Participation in travel teams demanded that everything else be sacrificed. First, the family had to invest thousands of dollars every year for their child to be on the team, which wasn't even a guarantee they'd play. And, it was a travel team, so every weekend, the family would be traveling for games… and over the years, it seemed that weekends alone weren't enough, so they started planning for other games during the week. These teams insisted that for the athlete to be successful, every available moment needed to be devoted to the travel team. The team was the highest priority, and if you challenged that, you couldn't be on the team. And so, these kids sacrificed a lot. They sacrificed any opportunity to be involved in anything else with their school or friends. They sacrificed their grades as they struggled to balance school and their commitments to the team. And they sacrificed their faith, and any relationships their family had been nurturing at their church… all of this was sacrificed on the altar of youth travel sports. And for what? …for the hope that someday they might play professionally? I suppose… it occasionally happens, but not usually. Everything in their world became focused on themselves and the game… Their parents supported it, or often even pushed their kid to do it, because they thought they were giving them the best chance to get ahead in this life… in this culture. And… it always broke my heart. Always. Because, in my observations… once a family chose to sacrifice everything for youth travel sports… sacrifice everything for their child's individual teenage success, it was almost impossible to bring them back around to the importance of their faith community. There would be no more opportunities to show them the incredible transformation in ourselves and in the people around us when we choose, not to live just for ourselves, but to live for God and others. There would be no more opportunities to show them how much loving others, as God loves us, is actually one of the most beautiful blessings of all. And no more opportunities to walk with them on their faith journey, when the doubt creeps in, or they get angry with God about something that happened… To be able to offer the kind of reassurance that can only come from the people in your faith community who are with you on that journey, and can speak into your experience. Now please understand… I know that youth travel sports are not really the problem… and I'm sure not all of them are as intense as the ones I encountered. They are a product of our culture that tells us every day that if you aren't focused on your own personal gain and success, then you've already lost. But that's actually contrary to God's desire for us…we weren't created to be alone… we weren't created to toil away as individuals. We were created to succeed and flourish as a people when we love and honor God first, and love and honor our neighbors… when we follow God's commandments. By prioritizing God and the collective needs of the community over our own, we discover what God knew to be true all along… we discover that our hearts and lives are transformed, and we are abundantly blessed. This life of discipleship… this life of following Jesus… leads to an abundant life… but it comes with a cost. We must be willing to put God first in our lives… before all else… and to trust that God is faithful and true in God's promise… that what God has set before us is life and prosperity… and death and adversity. And God wants us to choose life, and that life is good. So the mark of discipleship is not hatred for your family… no… the mark of discipleship is love for God above everything else. And when you love God above all else, it becomes your identity… and it becomes the lens through which you look at everything and everyone around you… so you see the world as God sees it. You see the world through God's lens of perfect love. It's a breathtaking view… a costly view, and the choice is yours to make… and the Good News is… God is going to keep putting this choice in front of you. God is going to keep putting this choice in front of you, no matter how far you have wandered, and no matter how much you have decided that the life of discipleship is too hard. The Good News is… God isn't going to give up on you… because God loves you, and really wants you to choose life. Amen.

InflexionPoint Podcast | Episode 922025 Theme: Community Engagement & the Grassroots of Change Introduction Welcome to another episode of InflexionPoint Podcast, where we are dedicated to antiracism activation and the art of listening in authentic conversation, engagement, action, and accountability. Featuring creator/host Anita D. Russell, joined by co-hosts Mavis Bauman and Gail Hunter. Throughout the year, we've been lifting up stories, strategies, and successes of community-driven movements. But in this episode, we take a different approach: exploring the adverse impact of community disengagement, focusing on the painful story of gentrification in Pittsburgh, PA. How We Got Here Anita opens up the conversation with a stark reality: Community disengagement in Pittsburgh cannot be separated from the city's long arc of gentrification. Policies that began with redlining and urban renewal set the stage for today's tech-driven investment and redevelopment, which often unfolds without strong tenant protections or genuine community power. The Pittsburgh Paradox: Pittsburgh was named one of America's Most Livable Cities (2005–2018). In 2019, it was also identified as America's 8th most gentrified city. In 2021, Jerry Dickinson, law professor at the University of Pittsburgh, described it as “America's Apartheid City.” This is the Reality We Must Confront The History of Displacement Gail leads a disccussion revealing Pittsburgh' multi-layered history: From racial covenants, redlining (1930s) and urban renewal devastating a vibrant Black community (1950s-60s); to so-called "modernization" that triggered decades of decline (1960s); to Steel Collapse to "Eds and Meds" (1980s-2000s) leading to struggles against overwhelming odds for communty nonprofits. 2010s to Today: The city formalized “community input” via Registered Community Organizations, but too often those processes lacked teeth. Meanwhile, private reinvestment accelerated land values, displacement, and racialized housing cost burdens. Imagine Authentic Engagement Mavis guides you to envision what true engagement and anti-displacement could look like in Pittsburgh. The short answer is this: Participation without power is not enough. Authentic engagement means redistributing decision-making power back to the people most affected. Key shifts required: Shift from input to shared governance. Stabilize residents where they live. Integrate commuunity equity and inclusion in development rules. Resource community voice. Execute real-time accountability. Call to Action Gentrification in Pittsburgh is not new—it's another chapter in a long story of disinvestment, removal, and broken promises. When people feel decisions are made over them, not with them, they disengage. But disengagement is not destiny. What action are you willing to take?  Watch: https://youtu.be/XBBNWXAErWs

In this episode, Jason uncovers why Japan's lean revolution succeeded while the U.S. drifted away from the very principles it created. The answer lies in humility, respect for people, and the power of working as one united team. Inside this episode: The forgotten U.S. production miracle of WWII and how Japan carried it forward. Why humility after the war fueled Japan's lean culture while America lost it. How total participation transforms project sites from worker huddles to safety culture to trade partner alignment. Why foreman meetings, visual systems, and zero-tolerance for chaos aren't optional, they're the foundation of flow. The hard truth: Lean will never take root in construction until everyone participates. If you're tired of trades working in silos, projects bogged down by excuses, and the industry lagging behind manufacturing, this episode is your wake-up call.

David Doyle and Brian Jacobsen give their takeaways from today's PCE data.

Are you tired of working hard yet feeling stuck, as if something unseen keeps holding you back? What if the real reason isn't effort, but hidden beliefs and subconscious programs running your life?In this session, Dr. David Snyder uncovers the root causes of frustration with success, happiness, and manifestation. He shows how most of us are “manifestation machines” on autopilot—driven by unconscious patterns. Through practical exercises and examples, you'll learn to clear negative beliefs, reprogram your identity, and take action that aligns with the life you want.If the Law of Attraction has ever felt out of reach, this training offers the tools to break free and finally create the health, wealth, and happiness you desire—starting with the power of your mind.Quotes:"You are a natural manifestation machine. It's just the processes that are manifesting in your life are largely outside of your conscious awareness.""Most people don't know what their dominant thoughts actually are. The dominant thoughts that are running your life are the ones below the threshold of conscious awareness that are on an autopilot.""If you have a crap ton of stuff in your past that's saying you don't deserve something, you'll find ways to sabotage that."Key Takeaways:Reflect on your dominant thoughts and beliefs—especially the ones you're not consciously aware of. Ask yourself: “What recurring patterns or self-sabotaging behaviors do I notice in my life, and what hidden beliefs might be driving them?”Practice changing your state before attempting affirmations or manifestation exercises. Recall a time you felt pure joy or success, anchor that feeling, and use it as your starting point for any manifestation work.Write and repeat the following statement, filling in your own goal: “I now do whatever it takes to manifest [your desire], because [your reason].” Listen for your unconscious mind's answer to “because,” and use it to fuel your motivation.Episode Timeline:0:05:00 The Power of State, Vibration, and Participation 0:10:00 Webinar Structure & What to Expect 0:15:00 The Science & Psychology of Manifestation 0:20:00 Identity, Beliefs, and Recurring Patterns 0:30:00 The Two Keys to Manifestation: Identity and Action 0:40:00 Interactive State Control Exercise 0:49:54 The “Yinformation” Drill 0:55:00 Q&A and Audience Sharing 0:58:00 Program Offer & Next Steps 1:00:13 Closing Thoughts Links:To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

Discipleship invites us into the beautiful reality of being both friend and follower of Jesus, where we discover ourselves being gently trained and empowered by Him to love more fully. This journey isn't about perfecting spiritual techniques or earning our way to being "good Christians" through disciplined practice. Instead, spiritual disciplines serve as pathways that orient our hearts toward the Spirit's work, creating space for authentic encounters with God rather than mere religious performance. The four meta-practices—Preparation, Reception, Participation, and Reflection—offer us a framework for understanding why and how we engage in spiritual formation. These practices work together to form us not into perfect performers, but into people who are increasingly available to God's transforming presence and equipped to train others in this same journey of love.

1 Corinthians 10.1 - 11.1

As fall term launches across the country, transfer students are once again navigating the complex journey from one institution to another. But what if our current approaches to supporting these transitions are too narrow?In this timely episode, host Heather Adams sits down with Drs. Dallin George Young (University of Georgia) and Bryce D. Bunting (Brigham Young University), authors of Rethinking Student Transitions: How Community, Participation, and Becoming Can Help Higher Education Deliver on its Promise. Both transfer students themselves, these researchers challenge the traditional "adjustment" model that places the burden of transition squarely on students' shoulders.Instead, they introduce a powerful new framework centered on three key concepts: Community, Participation, and Becoming. The approach offers both theoretical grounding and practical insights for reimagining how we design experiences, policies, and support systems that honor transfer students' complexity and potential.The conversation spans everything from rethinking "checklist" engagement models to designing meaningful classroom experiences that draw on transfer students' rich backgrounds. Dallin and Bryce share thought-provoking perspectives on academic advising conversations, faculty development, and collaboration between sending and receiving institutions—all through the lens of seeing transitions as opportunities for growth rather than problems to be managed.This episode offers fresh perspectives for anyone working with transfer students, challenging listeners to transform how they think about transitions from problems to be solved into opportunities for profound growth and becoming.Perfect timing for the start of term, this conversation will reshape how you approach every transfer student walking through your doors this fall.--- --- ---Additional Links: Buy the Rethinking Transitions book! Watch Dallin and Bryce's Lunch & Learn webinar with the National Resource Center to learn more about community, participation, and becoming! Show CreditsHost | Dr. Heather AdamsProducers | Rhian Waterberg, Emily KittrellSound Editing | Abraham Urias Keep talking with Transfer NationIG: @WeAreTransferNationLinkedIn: Transfer Nation Page TikTok: @TransferNationFB Group: Transfer NationEmail: WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com Talk soon!#TransferPride #TransferSuccess #TransferChampion #TNTalks #TransferNation

Who are the black evangelicals? How has contemporary evangelicalism reckoned with racial justice? Theologian Vincent Bacote joins Mark Labberton to discuss Black + Evangelical, a new documentary exploring the in-between experience of black Christians in white evangelical spaces. Bacote—professor of theology at Wheaton College and director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics—shares his personal faith journey, early formation in the Navigators, growing racial consciousness, and decades-long engagement with questions of race, theology, and evangelical identity. Together, they work through the tensions, challenges, and possibilities for a more truthful and hopeful evangelical witness. Episode Highlights “The goal of the documentary is not to be a kind of hit piece about the evangelical movement. It's to tell the story of the church.” “To be for Black people is not to be against somebody else.” – Tom Skinner “I couldn't understand why the Bible people weren't leading the way on questions of race.” “Participation in evangelical spaces can't mean leaving part of yourself outside.” “Realism allows you to have honesty, but also remember the good news is the greatest news of all.” “God wants all of us—our whole selves—not a muted version.” Helpful Links and Resources Black + Evangelical Documentary (Christianity Today) Black + Evangelical Documentary Trailer The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life by Vincent Bacote Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News by Vincent Bacote Breaking Down Walls by Raleigh Washington & Glen Kehrein Tom Skinner's Urbana 1970 Address (Full Audio) *The Color of Compromise* by Jemar Tisby About Vincent Bacote Vincent Bacote is professor of theology at Wheaton College and director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics. He is the author of several books, including The Political Disciple: A Theology of Public Life and Reckoning with Race and Performing the Good News: In Search of a Better Evangelical Theology. His research and teaching address public theology, ethics, and the intersection of race and evangelical identity. Bacote is a widely cited commentator and a frequent voice in conversations about Christian faithfulness in public life. Show Notes Mark Labberton welcomes Vincent Bacote, professor of theology at Wheaton College and director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics. Introduction to the Black + Evangelical documentary, a project Bacote helped conceive and produce. Bacote's upbringing at Shiloh Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland—unknowingly part of the Progressive National Baptist Convention. Conversion experience around age ten, preceded by years of genuine faith. College years at the Citadel; involvement in the Navigators campus ministry. Influence of a summer training program in Memphis focused on African American ministry. Early exposure to evangelical culture through radio preachers like Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, John MacArthur, and James Dobson. Initial tensions over the lack of evangelical engagement on issues of race. Graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School with the initial goal of becoming a pastor. Encounter with Raleigh Washington and Glen Kehrein's Breaking Down Walls, grounding racial reconciliation in Ephesians 2. Observations of the scarcity of black theologians in evangelical seminaries. 1993 Geneva College conference on black evangelicals—learning from leaders like Bill Pannell, Tom Skinner, Tony Evans, Carl Ellis, and Eugene Rivers. Writing an editorial titled “Black and Evangelical: An Uneasy Tension?” for the student paper at Trinity. Realization that evangelicalism is both a biblical and socio-cultural movement with contextual blind spots. Arrival at Wheaton College in 2000 with a focus on public theology and ethics beyond race alone. Genesis of the Black + Evangelical project at a 2008 Fuller Seminary gathering with Ron Potter. Partnership with Christianity Today and filmmaker Dan Long to shape the documentary. Filming over forty hours of interviews with twenty-four participants, distilled into a ninety-four-minute film. Mark Labberton highlights Tom Skinner's impact and his “Blackface” critique of white evangelicalism. Bacote reflects on his “racially optimistic” early years and growing awareness of systemic realities. Analysis of the Promise Keepers movement and the need for sustained relational work beyond large gatherings. Challenges in building genuine multiethnic churches versus surface-level diversity. The documentary's aim: to tell the church's story, honour lived experiences, and inspire commitment to mission. Bacote's “four stages” for minorities in evangelical institutions: delight, dissonance, distress, and decision. Emphasis on “sober hope”—honesty about pain while holding onto the good news. The gospel's call to bring one's full self into the life of the church. Closing encouragement to watch and share Black + Evangelical as a story worth hearing for the whole church. Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.
