Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the books we loved when we were young helped shape what we notice, value, question, and carry into adulthood AND how our own stories can help us write a better resume.From Erma Bombeck and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple to Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and more, this episode looks at the “childhood bookshelf” as more than nostalgia. Those early stories may have taught us how to solve problems, recognize patterns, seek belonging, survive broken systems, resist being reduced to one role, and remember who we were before burnout took over.Vanessa also talks about reading with children and teens, the difference between censorship and conversation, and why the books young people choose can give us clues about what they are trying to understand.In the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa moves into resume basics for teachers leaving the classroom. She explains why a modern resume is not your whole life story, why skills should be shown through evidence-rich bullet points instead of a disconnected skills section, and how teachers can begin turning real classroom stories into quantifiable resume accomplishments.You'll also hear about the “Everything Resume” — a master resume template that holds your stories, accomplishments, projects, leadership roles, certifications, data stories, communication wins, and more — so you have raw material ready when it is time to tailor a resume for a specific job posting.Episode highlights:Why childhood books may still hold clues about who we areHow Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z reading experiences shaped different kinds of courageWhy “stories matter” does not mean censorship is the answerHow rereading old favorites can help reconnect us with ourselvesWhy teachers need targeted resumes, not one perfect resume for every jobHow to turn teaching stories into resume bullet pointsWhy quantifiable resume metrics matterWhat an Everything Resume is and why teachers should build oneHow SCOUT helps Vanessa's clients explore career direction and translate teaching experienceMentioned in this episode:Erma Bombeck — Aunt Erma's Cope Book and other humor collections Carolyn Keene — Nancy Drew series Franklin W.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal today!How do we protect our kids spiritually and set wise boundaries without raising them in a culture of fear? In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the nuanced—and sometimes controversial—topic of navigating Halloween, fantasy media, and cultural traditions as Christians. They discuss the critical difference between setting healthy spiritual boundaries and letting “religious default settings” or fear-based superstition dictate our choices, exploring why treating pop culture with extreme suspicion can sometimes do more harm than good. Alana highlights the historical weaponization of the word “witch” by old-school religious establishments to silence women and control spiritual independence, sparking a deeper conversation about how we label things as “evil” without thoughtful examination. Meanwhile, she opens up about her own attempt to watch Harry Potter as an adult and the surprising “nocebo” effect—how deeply ingrained beliefs that something is spiritually dangerous can trigger real spiritual and emotional unease—showing how our upbringing can shape our reactions even when we intellectually know better. Jaime shares her evolving perspective on allowing her children to engage with the series, moving from a more permissive stance to a greater awareness of potential spiritual “open doors,” while still rejecting blanket outrage in favor of Holy Spirit-led discernment. Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on navigating the gray areas of modern Christian parenting and culture. From the beautiful analogy of treating young children like delicate seedlings that need extra protection while older ones must develop resilience through measured exposure, to an eye-opening experience at an Alaska Native Heritage Center, to their kids’ own self-censoring decisions with Percy Jackson and Coco, they offer a discerning yet grace-filled perspective. They emphasize the importance of teaching our children how to think biblically for themselves rather than simply handing down rigid rules, and they guard against the easy temptation to judge other believers who reach different conclusions. Whether you are wrestling with what media to allow in your home, trying to break free from the fear-based religious environment you grew up in, or simply need a reminder to seek God’s specific wisdom for your family instead of defaulting to either permissiveness or paranoia, we hope this episode encourages you to lead with prayerful discernment, intentionality, and confident grace.

Hey HBs! We're back with part 2 of AUTOBOYOGRAPHY by Christina Lauren! When we left you yesterday, Tanner and Sebastian were dating in secret and Tanner just realized that the most important piece of Sebastian's identity is his status as a faithful Mormon. Understandably, he's not sure where that leaves him or their relationship. That's where we're jumping in! Lady Loves: Mel: reading Percy Jackson to my kids every night before bed has been THE BEST. Sabrina: Live Music! It's their happiest place. Especially local live shows with unknown acts. Sabrina: ALSO, loop ear plugs! Leaving a heavy metal show and not feeling like they're underwater is revolutionary. Mel: WELL, IF WE'RE DOING EXTRAS. Current guilty pleasure is the latest season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Granted, this was recorded before I was done with the season and before Taylor Frankie Paul's continued abuse allegations broke and the subsequent Bachelorette scandal/cancellation. It got less fun then. Want to support the show? Rate and review us on your favorite podcast app! It super helps the algorithm connect us to new listeners. Want more of us? Check out our PATREON!

Erin and Manasa begin their Percy Jackson podcasting by debriefing the Big Animorphs News, naturally (perchance… a new podcast idea??? Stay tuned). Will there now be explicit Animorphs references in the Disney+ PJO adaptation? Crossover musical episode? Just kidding (unless…). Erin points out that the plot of this book is just like Halloweentown 3, Halloweentown High. The mythics have a hard time fitting in with the demigods. We find some more plot holes. They learn about some mysterious threats plaguing the mythics and Nico. And then… the mythics start to disappear. First Arielle, then Quinoa. Then, Manasa gives us a deep dive on the Empousa, our favorite hot weird-legged woman. PS - there were some funny bloopers edited out this episode. It was a bit of an editing beast to fix.

Part One: We speak with UW-Parkside librarians Shauna Edson and Heather Spencer about the research they have been doing into an interesting chapter in the school's history: how Parkside was host to Gen Con, the largest convention that gathers together fans of Dungeons and Dragons and other table-top role-playing games. Parkside hosted Gen Con from 1978 to 1984. They are in the midst of creating an oral history project about it and are still in search of first-person accounts from anyone who visited gen con at Parkside during those years. Part Two: best-selling author Rick Riordan, who has created (among other things) the popular Percy Jackson series for young readers. This particular interview concerns his "The Trials of Apollo" series.

Meggie and Laura are back at their respective virtual recording studios to regale you with their discoveries after reading the fifth and final Percy Jackson book. Percy is about to be 16 and its time for him to really hear his big prophecy for the first time. Chaos and destruction are near as Kronos is planning his ultimate takeover with the Titan army!!! It's Camp Half-Blood v. Kronos + Titans + the spy from camp. Who will win! What will Percy choose!!!
What if a Greek-underworld adventure could help middle grade readers name anxiety, see hidden home struggles, and believe they're worthy of rescue too?In this episode, Dr. Diane talks with author and former costume designer Shana Targosz about Relic of Thieves, a companion to River of Spirits that can stand on its own and sits comfortably beside Percy Jackson on the shelf. Shana shares why Anya's story—turbulent home life, deep anxiety, and the shattering loss of a best friend—is so personal, and how sending Anya (and Lizzie) into the Greek underworld lets readers watch a quiet, fearful girl discover her own strength and worth.They dig into friendship and empathy (what it means to “be a Lizzie” for someone whose home life might be hard), a fresh, agency-centered take on Hades and Persephone, and how Shana's years in theater and costume design shape her vivid, read-aloud-friendly worldbuilding—including a sentient cloak that becomes a character in its own right. Shana also teases Book 3, featuring the youngest Fate, talks about writing for and with her son as first ideal reader, and reflects on turning old wounds into stories that offer kids safety, second families, and hope.Timestamps01:32 :Companion novel magic: reading Book 2 first and meeting Anya03:19:Why Anya's story is personal and why kids in hard homes need it07:22:Lizzie, friendship, and helping readers build real-world empathy08:27:Rethinking Hades and Persephone and giving Persephone more power10:41:Writing across ages: trauma, grief, loss, and “a dollop of hope”11:21:Read-aloud goodness: opening lines and raspberry jam doom15:50:From costume design to the page: theater, visuals, and voice18:33:Charon's sentient cloak and turning clothing into a character19:44:Returning to the Underworld: evolving shops and settings20:49:Big reveal: Book 3, the youngest Fate22:41:Writing for her son and sharing emotional moments as he reads26:18:Advice for young writers: your story matters, even when it's hard27:32:Writing from past pain toward safety, second families, and hope29:08:What's currently bringing Shana hopeInvitation / LinksIf you love Greek and Roman mythology, character-driven fantasy, or books that hold both darkness and healing for middle graders, this conversation is for you.Listen to Episode 181 on your favorite podcast app.Ask your library or local indie bookstore to order Relic of Thieves,and River of SpiritsSupport the showShare this episodeIf this conversation sparked wonder, gave you a helpful strategy, or offered a needed reminder of hope, please share it with a friend or colleague.Subscribe • Download • Review • Tell a friendStay updated with our latest episodes and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, and the Adventures in Learning website.

Prophecy Radio episode #154 includes our discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 8, “The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well.” We're skipping the news again this week, but we also discuss the last episode of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features Aryan Simhadri and Walker Scobell being besties. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.No News this week! We'll get caught up soon!Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 8 discussion (00:09:40) It's finally time to discuss the finale!! We kick off this episode with a flashback to that night on Half-Blood Hill before jumping back to Percy listening to Annabeth and Grover excitedly discussing Thalia's return. Blackjack appears in the road and Percy knows him. Sally wants to help, but this is quite literally Percy's battle, so she has to let him go do demigod things. Tantalus is being insufferable back in the hippodrome, but everyone is put out of their misery pretty quickly. Luke's forces have already been attacking Camp, and he arrives with even more. He's changed his tune since last time, saying anyone left inside Camp will be burned to the ground, but he does say Thalia's tree must be protected. Percy and Annabeth have an uncomfortable discussion about Thalia's loyalty. Percy and Co. come across some armed Campers, and they have to surrender to them. Mr. D doesn't want to believe anything is wrong, but Percy gives an impassioned speech about how Kronos is back. Clarisse listens as Chris tells her there are traitors in their midst, then reveals himself as one of those traitors! This is a little different than what happened in the book, but it makes sense to give Chris a larger role in the show. Turns out, Clarisse DOES have friends!! Percy and Luke square off, and it becomes obvious they have different objectives. It's bloody and violent, but this is only the beginning—just wait until season 5! Tyson comes to the rescue, and he wins an award for Best Brother of the Century! Allison shoots Annabeth with an arrow, but Percy must focus on the task at hand: Saving Thalia's tree. He hands the fleece off to Clarisse in another show of trust and maturity, and we're totally here for it. Thalia's shocking returns knocks Percy out. Percy is seaside with Poseidon, who tells him what they're all up against. Poseidon invited Tyson to be by his side, but Percy's destiny lies elsewhere. This scene is so emotional, between Tyson thanking Poseidon for bringing him to Percy and Sally, to Poseidon saying love is even stronger than Fate. Chiron is back and Percy still drools in his sleep, so all is right with the world. Clarisse is in charge of preparing Camp's troops. It gets a little awkward, but one “Shut up, Jackson” makes everything feel normal again. Chiron tells the truth of what happened that night on Half-Blood Hill. What did we think of Courtney B. Vance's interpretation of Zeus? Thalia returns, and Percy is feeling pretty conflicted about it. We also discuss the TWO bonus scenes at the end of the episode. Kristen has some follow-up questions. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:21:05) We get to see Aryan's audition tape for Percy Jackson, the character! Aryan interviews his best friend, Walker, who talks about how the fight sequence at the end of the finale sets up season 3. They discuss Percy's big speech, and how Percy will continue to grow and evolve over the coming seasons. These books really did inform Walker's personality. Toby Stephens takes a break from playing Captain Hook to chat with them—but he never takes a break from smelling amazing! Once again, everyone has such nice things to say about Daniel Diemer. Walker and Toby also have some super nice things to say about each other. It's not easy playing a god, but Toby is pretty great at it. Also, he's acting royalty, so he's kind of the perfect person for this role. They talk about Lance Reddick and Courtney B. Vance. Aryan and Walker discuss Thalia's role in season 2. Then it's time to discuss season 3! Olive and Levi (Bianca and Nico) just got drenched for the first time on set, which seems to be a right of passage for this cast. Walker hates school and wishes he didn't have to go anymore. The guy playing Thorn (David Costabile) is apparently fantastic. Aryan got to play his panpipes and the two of them also watched the first movie and then the first season together. Walker also discusses his favorite scene from this season. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #155, where we'll discuss all the latest Percy Jackson and the Olympians news.This episode's hosts are: Karen and KristenEach episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan's other series.Follow Us: Instagram // Facebook // TumblrListen and Subscribe: Audioboom // Apple // SpotifyFeel free to leave us your questions or comments through any of these mediums!

There was time when the whole world was practising natural religions like Hinduism. So what changed, when and where? For that, we need to know the history of the monotheisms, starting with Judaism, then moving on to Christianity and Islam.Most Hindus are not aware that the West and Europe was not always Christian. We need to understand the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of monotheistic religions since we see the same battle playing out in India today.Understanding the strategies employed will make us better prepared to hold on to the few natural religions left in the world today. It will help us keep our kids safe and pass on our traditions and knowledge systems to our children.In Episode #60 of The Hindu Parenting Podcast, we talk with Rama Sesan Chandrasekharan Rama's Substack , author of “From Gods to the God: Christianization of the Roman Empire”.Rama Sesan Chandrasekharan has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from IIT Madras. He is a self-taught linguist and a scholar of history.The link for his book is here.

Other topics include revisiting the hosts' issues with Wrath of the Triple Goddess, struggling to identify the exact release date of paperback editions, speculation of cheese, the tonal dissonance of the short stories coming out before Heroes of Olympus finished, Hazel having the potential to be the most powerful person in the world, and the perfect pitch for the Riordanverse Infinity War.
