Barcelona clinch La Liga against Real Madrid as The NN Pod looks at the growing instability inside Madrid, the pressure surrounding Xabi Alonso, and why Europe's biggest clubs increasingly resemble vanity projects rather than coherent football teams.The lads discuss Real Madrid's dressing room issues, Jude Bellingham scrutiny, Vinícius Júnior tensions, and the possibility of José Mourinho returning to the Bernabéu. There's also praise for Hansi Flick's Barcelona, the emergence of Lamine Yamal, and discussion around whether finishing second in a “two-team league” can ever be viewed as success.Elsewhere, Sergio Ramos edges closer to buying Sevilla, prompting debate around ex-players owning football clubs, modern ownership structures, and whether football intelligence translates into boardroom leadership.The conversation then shifts into a wider look at European football's competitive imbalance. PSG, Bayern Munich and Inter dominate their domestic leagues again, leading into a broader discussion around Premier League financial power, TV distribution, squad rotation advantages, and why English clubs continue overpowering Europa League and Conference League opposition.There's also debate around player awards after Ousmane Dembélé's Ligue 1 recognition and Bruno Fernandes winning Player of the Year despite Manchester United's struggles.Later in the episode, Chelsea's latest managerial search takes centre stage as Xabi Alonso becomes linked with Stamford Bridge following his difficult spell at Real Madrid. The lads discuss whether Chelsea remains a career opportunity or simply a high-paying trap for elite coaches.Finally, Southampton are caught in a bizarre Championship “Spygate” controversy after allegedly sending a staff member to watch Middlesbrough training hidden in the bushes ahead of the play-offs.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Week in Football Introduction & European Football Overview(01:00) - WATG: Matchweek 36 Roundup(02:21) - Barcelona Clinch La Liga & Real Madrid Turmoil(05:08) - Fede Valverde, Mourinho & Madrid Dressing Room Debate(08:00) - Galácticos Discussion & Real Madrid Team Structure(08:53) - Barcelona Praise, Hansi Flick & Lamine Yamal Discussion(10:17) - Sergio Ramos Buying Sevilla(14:44) - Dembele Award Debate & European League Dominance(16:57) - Premier League Financial Strength vs Europe(21:15) - Europa League, Conference League & English Dominance(24:48) - PSG Advantage, Squad Rotation & Competitive Balance(28:36) - Bruno Fernandes Award Debate & Footballer of the Year Discussion(32:27) - Chelsea Managerial Chaos & Xabi Alonso Links(36:18) - Alonso, Gerrard & The Risks of Reputation Damage(39:11) - Southampton Spygate & Championship Play-Off Discussion(42:24) - Outro

Power Week 1 of the Telkom Netball League has taken place in South Africa and Nicole Pappas from Netball Junkie joins us to talk about the teams and players to beat this 2026 season. We also discuss the dominance of Elmeré van der Berg in her debut Super Netball season, the return of legend Karla Pretorius after a break from the game and the Proteas' chances at the Commonwealth Games.

What happens when praise turns into pressure? On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus as King with shouts of "Hosanna!"—but just days later, many of those same voices cried out "Crucify Him." In this message, Pastor Stephen Mizell challenges us to examine the tension between our expectations of Jesus and the reality of who He truly is. Are we following Jesus… or just our expectations of Him?

What are you expecting from Jesus? As Easter approaches, Kevin Daughety challenges us to examine a question many of us never stop to ask: Are we seeking Jesus for what He can give us—or for who He is? Looking at the feeding of the 5,000 in John 6, this message exposes how easy it is to chase provision while missing transformation. Jesus invites us into something deeper—a relationship that requires trust, even when we don't fully understand. Key Takeaways: ▪ We often seek provision from Jesus instead of transformation through Him ▪ Jesus calls us to focus on eternal things, not temporary needs ▪ The only "work" God requires is believing in Jesus ▪ Some of Jesus' teachings are hard to understand—but still true ▪ What you consume shapes who you become ▪ A real relationship with Jesus requires trust, not just clarity ▪ Following Jesus means letting Him challenge your identity, beliefs, and lifestyle Scripture References: ▪ John 6:1–69 ▪ John 6:26–29 ▪ John 6:52–58 ▪ John 6:60–69 ▪ Matthew 5 (Sermon on the Mount) ▪ Mark 10:17–22 ABOUT OPEN DOOR CHURCH Open Door Church is located in Edenton, NC, where Pastor Stephen Mizell serves as lead pastor. We believe in the transformative power of God's Word and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. www.visitopendoor.com

Financial leadership is more than numbers—it's the heartbeat of nonprofit sustainability. In this Nonprofit Power Week finale of The Nonprofit Show, Regional Director Ellie Hume of Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC) brings clarity and candor to some of the most frequently asked financial questions. With an “Ask and Answer” format, the conversation covers everything from roles and responsibilities in financial leadership to the evolving landscape of fractional CFOs.Ellie sets the stage by redefining how we see finance in nonprofits: “Finance is literally the thread that draws every piece of the organization together because without it, nothing works.” She dismantles silos by urging finance professionals to engage deeply with program, marketing, and development teams to ensure that data isn't just accurate but also meaningful for decision-making.The discussion takes a practical turn as Ellie differentiates between controllers, comptrollers, and CFOs. She outlines the transactional oversight of controllers, the governmental nuance of comptrollers, and the strategic future-focus of CFOs. She also digs into the importance of internal controls, noting their role in fraud prevention and audit readiness.The lively session shifts into the governance space. How often should boards review and sign Conflict of Interest (COI) policies? Ellie's answer is clear: annually at minimum, but immediately when new conflicts arise. She gives a relatable example: a contractor-board member bidding on a capital campaign project must disclose and recuse themselves. Transparency, she argues, isn't optional—it's fiduciary duty.Ellie also challenges assumptions about credentials. Do finance directors need to be CPAs? Her answer: “You truly just need great accounting skills and a strategic mindset to help the organization use financial information to make good business decisions.” Certifications like CPA or CMA add credibility but don't replace experience or practical skill.The conversation also explores the rise of fractional leadership. Ellie frames fractional CFOs as an efficient way to access high-level talent at a fraction of the time or cost, particularly useful during transitions or to prepare for a new hire. Fractional arrangements, she explains, can be both short-term bridges and long-term partnerships.The conversation wraps with a powerful reminder for board members: ask tough financial questions. Are resources aligned with mission? What risks are we facing? Do internal controls hold up? And crucially—what training do board members need to responsibly interpret financial statements?#TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFinance #FractionalCFOFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Because of his murderous campaign to kill every boy child under 2 years old, Herod is the obvious villain of the Christmas story. He's also the easiest villain to look down on, because his actions are so evil we can only compare them to something from a movie. But, while his actions are unimaginable, his motivations are much more familiar to us. King Herod's grasping for power led him to commit one tragedy after another. For many of us, our yearning for power is a threat to Christmas still.

In this Power Week conversation with Rita L. Soronen, CEO and President of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, she shares her insights into nonprofit leadership, board engagement, and the foundation's impactful work in the field of adoption. As the foundation celebrates its 25th year, it continues to make strides in its mission to find permanent homes for children in foster care. Rita begins with discussing her 22-year tenure with the foundation and how it allows her to elevate her passion for child welfare and advocacy. She also highlights the importance of board recruitment, emphasizing the need for board members who are not only professionally skilled but also personally passionate about the organization's mission. She offers, "We want to make sure on our board that we have folks who have either adopted, were adopted, have fostered, have some connection, if not directly to themselves, through extended family." Continuing, and discussing board engagement, Rita details how the foundation has managed to engage more than 80% of its board members actively, attributing this success to a focus on committee work and regular check-ins. She also shares strategies for promoting self-care among staff, emphasizing the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive work environment. She says, "We try and encourage that as much as possible...cancel whatever's on your calendar and make sure that we're flexible enough to acknowledge that weeks are tough." When asked about the foundation's impact on adoption, Soronen mentions the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program, which is embedded in 17 states and aims to be present in all 50 states by 2028. She acknowledges the progress made in improving adoption rates but also highlights the need to address myths and misperceptions surrounding vulnerable children and families. She states, "We've been able to do that now in 17 states with the goal of 28 states by the end of...all 50 states by the end of 2028." Rita adds to the discussion, mentioning the challenges and opportunities presented by remote work, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a sense of connection and collaboration among team members. She suggests that while technology has enabled remote work, face-to-face interaction remains valuable, particularly in a mission-driven organization like hers. She mentions, "Learning and sharing from each other face to face is critical." The inspiring episode concludes with a discussion of the foundation's upcoming event, "Home for the Holidays," celebrating its 25th anniversary. Soronen highlights the show's purpose of raising awareness about foster care adoption and bringing families together during the holiday season. She encourages people to tune in for the event, which features a variety of musical talent.

Julianne Nichols, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, discusses how nonprofits use research effectively to drive positive change in attitudes and behaviors, and shares an inside look on how their foundation's approach can serve as a compelling example. Throughout this Nonprofit Power Week episode, the emphasis is on the importance of continuous, strategic, and multi-channel efforts to change attitudes and drive action. Julianne emphasizes the long-term commitment needed to shift public perceptions about foster care adoption and the critical role of storytelling in this process. Julianne begins by emphasizing the importance of research in shaping public perceptions and attitudes towards foster care adoption. She cites several examples, such as their Adoption and Foster Care Attitude Survey, which reveals that 30% of the public believe that teenagers in foster care can fend for themselves without the support of a permanent family. This finding drives the organization to leverage storytelling through public service announcements and other channels to humanize the issue and challenge misconceptions. An important quote from Julianne highlights the power of storytelling: "What we have really found is that a storytelling approach is among the most powerful tools in your toolbox." She explains how sharing personal stories of adopted children and adoptive parents changes minds and inspires action. Additionally, she discusses how research informs the development of programs like Wendy's Wonderful Kids, which demonstrates through rigorous evaluation that children referred to the program are up to three times more likely to be adopted, leading to the scaling of this initiative. This lively fast-paced conversation also touches on the cost and time associated with research, highlighting that it varies widely based on the complexity and scope of the study, and why external research partners are considered crucial when research results will inform policy decisions or public claims.

In this educational episode, Beth Farley, CPA and partner at Eide Bailly, joins host Jarrett Ransom for day four of Nonprofit Power Week. The focus of the episode is "Back to Basics," and Beth's insights into documenting best practices are invaluable. Beth discusses the importance of clear and organized documentation, emphasizing the need for consistency and accessibility. She recommends creating a table of contents (TOC) to help organize documents, ensuring that essential information is easily accessible to everyone involved. Beth stresses that documentation should adapt and evolve as an organization grows and changes. The conversation also touches on the role of automation in documentation and how it can streamline processes and save time. Beth highlights the significance of board involvement in reviewing documentation strategies, as well as the naming conventions for files and folders to maintain consistency. Beth encourages nonprofits to start organizing their documentation systematically, even if it seems overwhelming at first. She suggests creating folders by fiscal year, designating a permanent file for essential documents, and gradually building a robust documentation system. The Power Week episode serves as a reminder that while documenting may seem basic, it is a crucial practice that can help nonprofits operate more efficiently, reduce risks, and adapt to their evolving needs. Follow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Beth Farley, CPA from Eide Bailly accounting firm, responds to questions received from this Power Week series which explored the vital role of documentation in nonprofit organizations, providing practical advice and highlights the importance of staying organized and proactive to ensure financial stability and compliance. Beth's quote underlines the relevance of these principles for nonprofits of all scales "The finance department . . . . . .when you're talking about the accounting part of an organization, it is absolutely crucial to the organization's long-term success. . . . . . your programs are hugely important . . . . . . But if you don't have the backbone of the organization, your finances strong, and the documentation strong, then you will not be able to continue because you're not going to lose funding over some of these things. And that's what it really boils all down to. " Beth continues by highlighting how accounting firms like Eide Bailly have evolved beyond traditional financial statements and tax returns. Now, they strive to become strategic partners, offering expertise in technology, cybersecurity, compensation analysis, and more. The series emphasized the significance of creating a compliance calendar, which helps organizations keep track of important deadlines and tasks. Beth explains how this calendar should include items like 990 filings, audits, payroll taxes, state charitable registration, and more. She stressed the importance of regular reviews to ensure the calendar remains accurate and helpful. The discussion also digs a bit into donor documentation and recognition, emphasizing the need to clearly define when a planned gift should be recognized and how it aligns with accounting principles. It was underlined that careful documentation ensures fair and accurate recognition for development officers. The role of the board in documentation was discussed, with Beth amplifying that boards must understand their fiduciary responsibilities and ensure that policies and procedures are in place.

Day Three of Nonprofit Power Week focuses again on Cause Selling for nonprofit fundraisers. Muhi Khwaja, a Fundraising Academy trainer and co-founder of the American Muslim Community Foundation, delves into Phase two of the Cause Selling model, specifically steps 5 and 6, highlighting the importance of understanding donors, adapting presentation styles, actively listening, and addressing objections in the cause selling process.Muhi shared insights on the presentation aspect of cause selling. He emphasized the importance of understanding the donor's needs, interests, and passions related to the organization's mission. Presenting the mission and demonstrating how it fulfills the donor's philanthropic goals is key to inspiring them to donate. Different presentation styles, such as structured or impromptu, should be considered based on the donor's preferences. Connecting with the donor's attachment to the organization and showcasing the impact of their gift can further engage them.Muhi shares a real-life example of approaching a CEO of a rideshare company and adjusting the presentation style based on the CEO's preferences and questions. Despite the impromptu nature of the conversation, the CEO appreciated the interaction and ended up donating $50,000 annually to the organization!The conversation then shifted to handling objections. Muhi emphasizes the importance of actively listening to the donor, observing their cues, and allowing them to express any objections or concerns. Overcoming objections requires addressing them directly, reiterating and clarifying information, and, if necessary, involving other team members or experts to provide the required answers.The lively discussion also touched on handling objections related to donors going through personal challenges, such as divorce, and Muhi shared an example of a donor who continued supporting the organization despite going through a divorce. Building relationships, being understanding, and offering flexibility are crucial in addressing objections in such situations.Watch on video https://bit.ly/44IBhVwFollow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

This is a Nonprofit Power Week episode with Tony Beall, a senior director at Fundraising Academy, who introduces the concept of Cause Selling Curriculum for nonprofit fundraising. The curriculum consists of eight steps that form a cycle to guide fundraising efforts. This Day 1 episode focuses on Phase One, Step One (prospecting for donors) and Phase One, Step Two (pre-approach and qualifying prospects). The curriculum provides a strategic approach to fundraising, helping fundraisers identify qualified donors and build relationships with them, and this Day 1 episode sets the stage for the week-long exploration of this very effective fund development tool.Tony begins with explaining that prospecting involves finding qualified donors through data mining both internally and externally. He emphasizes the importance of investing time and resources to create a robust list of potential supporters. The hosts mention the significance of leveraging the existing donor database and recognizing that the next major donor might already be within the organization.Moving on to the pre-approach phase, Tony highlights the importance of qualifying prospects before meeting with them. He mentions the M.A.D.D.E.N. approach, a qualifying strategy within Cause Selling, which helps fundraisers identify the right individuals to approach. The pre-approach also involves researching and gathering information about the donor, understanding their giving capacity, decision-making authority, alignment with the mission, and ethics.The hosts discuss the significance of being well-prepared for the approach phase and how it helps fundraisers build relationships rather than just making asks. They dive into the importance of data from public platforms and the organization's donor database in understanding the prospect's involvement and recognition preferences. Tony emphasizes the importance of being prepared for potential questions and offers a list of top 10 questions that donors may ask during the first meeting.Throughout the discussion, the hosts and Tony express their enthusiasm for the Cause Selling Curriculum and the value it brings to fundraisers, both experienced professionals and those new to the field.
