Where did miracles go?In this episode of PF Unfiltered, PF tackles one of the biggest questions many Christians quietly ask: why does it feel like we don't see miracles the way people talk about them in Acts, revival stories, or old-school church culture?But the real answer is sharper than most people expect. PF argues that the modern church has confused the spectacular with the miraculous and in the process, we've turned Christ into a dispenser of comfort instead of the One miracles were always meant to reveal.This conversation goes straight at miracle culture, prosperity logic, emotionalism, transactional giving, and the dangerous habit of presenting Jesus as a problem solver instead of a Savior. If miracles are supposed to witness to Christ, what happens when the message is no longer Christ?In this episode:- Why PF says there is a “death of the spectacular” in the modern church- The difference between the spectacular and the miraculous- Why signs and wonders were meant to witness to Christ- How churches turn prayer, fasting, and giving into tools for material gain- Why “come to Jesus and get your problem solved” is a broken gospel- The difference between sacrificial giving and spiritual manipulationDrop your thoughts in the comments:Are miracles disappearing or are we preaching the wrong message?Chapter Markers0:00 Problem Solver vs Savior1:38 Where Did Miracles Go?3:00 The Death of the Spectacular5:00 The Greatest Miracle6:05 Miracles Witness to Christ9:10 What Are We Preaching?13:36 Prayer and Fasting Misused15:00 Selling Miracles18:02 Emotionalism in Church19:46 Consumer Christianity20:13 Sacrifice vs Manipulation24:47 Don't Borrow to Give27:00 Why Nations Stay Broken30:16 When Church Stops Being About Christ32:47 Prosperity Short-Circuits the Gospel36:14 Miracles Must Point to Christ38:54 Friends for Food40:09 Miracles Without Faith40:40 Hungry for Righteousness41:16 He's Not an Employment Agency#pfunfiltered #pastorfemi #miracles #culture #prosperity #gospel #christian #church #manipulation #signsandwonders #modernchristianity #spectacular #christianpodcast #transactionalfaith #prayerandfasting #sacrificialgiving #jesus

Send us Fan MailAssessment shouldn't be something we do to students. It should be something we do with them.In this episode of the Math Chat Podcast, we're continuing our Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers series by exploring the fifth strand of the framework: Student-Engaged Assessment.Too often, assessment data stays in teacher binders, spreadsheets, and data meetings. But what if we invited students into the process? When students understand the learning goal, reflect on their progress, and use feedback to determine their next steps, assessment becomes a powerful tool for learning, not just grading.In this episode, we'll chat about:Three simple ways to begin engaging students in the assessment processWhy this is a strand to weave in thoughtfully as your classroom community growsMentioned in this episode:Word Problem Workshop: 5 Steps to Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers (Reflect Chapter)Leaders of Their Own Learning by Ron Berger, Leah Rugen, and Libby WoodfinThis is Part 5 of the Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers summer series.

Daniel and JB are back from vacation — tanned and fired up — for an ADSN rundown that covers everything from Sean Frank's "ads rule everything around me" manifesto to X Money's launch, prediction market hedging for e-commerce brands, and Meta vibe-coding a new app. The episode kicks off with a sharp take on why every digital company is now fundamentally a marketing company, and why the problem-solving bar has been permanently raised by AI — with Gen Z founders skipping the career ladder entirely.From there, they dig into X Money's 7% savings yield and why a Tesla phone with Grok, Starlink, and X payments could be the actual super app. They break down Claude's new Slack integration as the start of multiplayer AI, why companies become irrelevant rather than defeated, and the reveal that Josh Siegel's team is now at Meta — likely behind the new Pocket minigames app. They close with Primary Posts featuring an AI-generated country song that JB played 1,600 times at his Fourth of July party and Jason Levin's genius fake protest at Cannes that got 10 million Instagram views for a few hundred bucks.Thank you to our sponsors:AdQuick – Making OOH advertising as easy to plan, buy, and measure as digital. adquick.comThrad.ai — Building the advertising infrastructure for AI. thrad.aibeehiiv — The all-in-one platform for newsletters, websites, and every tool you need to grow and earn. beehiiv.comThe Farm — Fraction commercial legal with an in-house approach to outside counsel. thefarmllp.comSTAY CONNECTEDJames on Twitter & LinkedIn – /jamesborowDaniel on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok – /danieldrugerSubscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review on Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

Send us Fan MailWhen do you actually teach in a student-centered math classroom?Teacher friend... if you've ever wondered that, you're not alone.In Part 4 of the Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers series, we're talking all about Strategic Instruction—the teaching moves that happen because of what your students show you.We'll unpack why student-centered instruction absolutely includes direct instruction... just not the way many of us were taught. Instead of teaching what's next because the curriculum says so, you'll learn how to notice student thinking, decide what matters most, and teach with purpose.In this episode, we'll chat about:Why strategic instruction is a response, not a lessonHow to use student thinking to guide your next teaching moveWhere direct instruction fits in a classroom of problem solversA simple framework for making your teaching more intentionalBecause here's the truth...The best lessons don't always start with your lesson plan.They start with what your students show you.

Instead of timed tests and memorization, discover how purposeful fluency helps students develop flexible strategies, notice patterns, explain their reasoning, and build lasting mathematical understanding.You'll learn practical math fluency activities that promote reasoning, discussion, and confidence, including:Number StringsTrue or False?Which One Doesn't Belong?Choral CountingCounting CollectionsLow-prep math games that build strategy and flexibilityIf you want to create a classroom where students think, solve, talk, and make sense of mathematics every day, this episode is for you.

On The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian is joined by author Dennis M. Dodo for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, populism, and the future of democracy, drawing on insights from his forthcoming book The Tale of Two Men.Dodo, who grew up during Zimbabwe's political transformation in Zimbabwe, brings a lived perspective on how democracies can shift from hope to authoritarianism—and why many people believe “it can't happen here” until it already has.Together, Brian and Dodo explore two contrasting models of leadership: the performer and the problem solver. The performer leads through personality, visibility, and emotional impact, while the problem solver focuses on institutions, analysis, and long-term solutions. Using contemporary examples including Donald Trump and Mark Carney, they examine how modern political systems increasingly reward attention over substance—and what that shift means for governance.The conversation turns to the fragility of democratic systems and how countries like Canada, the United States, and Britain may be more vulnerable than they appear. Dodo reflects on Zimbabwe's experience to illustrate how democracies rarely collapse suddenly, but instead erode gradually through economic frustration, institutional weakening, and rising populism.They also discuss the growing influence of social media and artificial intelligence in shaping political narratives, the power of emotion over fact in public discourse, and the importance of active citizenship in sustaining free societies.In his closing commentary, Brian connects this discussion to broader themes from recent episodes—Ukraine, Canadian unity, artificial intelligence, youth challenges, and addiction recovery—arguing that strong societies depend on strong institutions, but institutions only survive when citizens choose to stay engaged.Democracy, he concludes, is not a permanent condition. It is a daily practice—protected not only by constitutions, but by citizens willing to think critically, participate meaningfully, and resist indifference.Because the greatest threat to democracy is not disagreement.It is disengagement.

Your value rises with the problems you can solve. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why elite problem solvers become some of the most valuable people in business. Let's be real… If every minor issue makes you panic… If every inconvenience gets escalated… If every obstacle requires someone else to rescue you… You are not operating like a leader. You are operating like a liability. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your income is tied to the complexity of problems you can handle How panic destroys clear thinking and execution Why high-level leaders separate emotion from facts How becoming the person who fixes the unfixable makes you invaluable The truth is simple: CEO money requires CEO thinking. You cannot wait for a savior. You cannot freeze when systems break. You cannot complain when the market shifts. You have to analyze the issue. Map out the options. Choose the best path. And execute the fix. High-level operators do not run from chaos. They run toward it. They stay calm. They think mechanically. They solve what others avoid. Because every problem is an opportunity to prove competence. Stop wishing for fewer problems. Build stronger problem-solving skills. Find the solution. Lead the team. And keep leveling up.

Send us Fan MailBefore students can confidently solve problems, they need opportunities to confidently share ideas.We're continuing our Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers series by exploring one of my favorite places to start: Thinking Routines.These routines create low-pressure opportunities for students to notice patterns, share ideas, compare strategies, justify their thinking, and build confidence as mathematicians.We'll discuss why thinking routines matter, how they support mathematical identity, and why they're such a powerful companion to Word Problem Workshop and problem-solving classrooms.In this episode, you'll learn:• How these routines build confidence and engagement• Several favorite routines to try in your classroom• The biggest mistake teachers make when facilitating thinking routines• How thinking routines support discourse and problem solvingResources Mentioned:Free Thinking Routine Sample:https://monamath.myflodesk.com/thinkingroutinesChristopher Danielson's How Many? books:https://www.amazon.com/dp/1032898356Let's Connect! Website: MonaMath.comInstagram: @hellomonamathListen on YouTube https://youtu.be/D1Xa3fgZ8fM If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a teacher friend who is working to create a classroom of problem solvers.

Send us Fan MailCreating a classroom of problem solvers can feel overwhelming when you're trying to fit problem solving, fluency, discourse, assessment, intervention, and curriculum pacing into a single math block.In this episode we're unpacking the six essential elements that help students become confident, capable mathematicians and how these elements work together to create a classroom where students do the thinking, talking, and problem solving.Inspired by the research in Adding It Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics, we'll explore why mathematical proficiency is about so much more than getting the right answer and how small shifts in instruction can help students develop deeper understanding, stronger reasoning, and greater independence.In this episode, we're chatting about: How thinking routines build reasoning, discourse, and fluencyWhere intervention, small groups, and strategic instruction fitWhat purposeful fluency really meansHow student-engaged assessment supports learning and growthWhy identity and belonging are essential for mathematical successHow to fit it all together without adding more to your dayWhether you're implementing Word Problem Workshop, exploring student-centered math instruction, or simply looking for ways to increase student thinking and engagement, this episode will help you reimagine what your math block can be.Resources Mentioned:

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most important thing you teach at the beginning of the year isn't a routine… but a belief about what math actually IS?In this episode of the Math Chat Podcast, we're talking about how to launch the school year with a true problem-solving mindset so students learn to think, persevere, discuss ideas, and trust themselves as mathematicians from day one.Because students learn what math is by experiencing math.If math is always watching, copying, and repeating, students learn math is about compliance. But when math becomes noticing, wondering, trying, discussing, revising, and making sense of ideas… students learn math is about thinking. And teacher friends… that changes everything.In this episode, we'll chat about: the biggest mindset mistake teachers make at the beginning of the year  how over-scaffolding can accidentally reduce student independence  what students actually need to become problem solvers  ways to normalize productive struggle in math class  what classrooms full of thinkers really look and sound like  practical shifts that help students build confidence, reasoning, and perseverance from the very beginning Mentioned in this episode

What happens when you've spent decades being the most reliable person in the room — and you finally stop to ask: reliable for whom?   In this warm, wide-ranging episode of Leaderspace, host Cathleen O'Sullivan is joined by Linda Misegadis — senior government strategist at UKG, global DEI ambassador, certified payroll professional, and host of the Her Resources Podcast. Linda built her career the way many high-achievers do: nose down, hard work, always available, always solving. She led one of the most complex technology change projects in Denver's public sector history and then walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she'd just implemented and told him, clearly and directly, that she didn't think they understood the public sector space at all. He offered her a job.   Linda and Cathleen explore what it costs to tie your identity to being the one everyone counts on, how introversion becomes a leadership superpower once you stop letting others use it as a label that limits you, and why the most important question in any career transition isn't what's next — it's who am I actually? They talk about the trap of availability culture, what burnout really looks like when you've built your reward system around being indispensable, and the slow, nonlinear work of separating your professional identity from your sense of self.   They also go deep on what it means to lead through complexity without consensus paralysis, how COVID quietly pushed Linda from observer to connector, and the particular challenge women still face in corporate life in 2026 — not just in being heard, but in being seen for the right things. This is a conversation about the courage it takes to stop performing reliability and start building something that actually belongs to you.   If you've ever been the go-to person, the Swiss Army knife, the one who always raises their hand — this one is for you. Cathleen's question for this episode: what is it costing you to keep staying quiet about something you've already noticed?   Episode Timeline:   00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction 00:02:38 Introducing Linda Misegadis 00:07:04 Heritage, Roots, and Identity 00:11:09 What Has Shaped Your Identity? 00:15:10 The Trap of Being the Reliable One 00:19:09 Who Is Linda Now? 00:21:39 AI, Layoffs, and the Human Side of Work 00:31:36 How COVID Made Linda a Connector 00:34:17 Introversion as a Leadership Strength 00:40:29 Leading Without a Title 00:44:00 The Audacious Move That Changed Everything 00:48:00 The Risk of Always Being the Problem Solver 00:53:46 The Reward Behind Constant Availability 01:00:52 How the Reward Has Shifted 01:04:14 Approaching Complex Problems 01:11:24 Women's Voices in Corporate Life — Still Not There Yet 01:13:36 One Piece of Advice for Women Entering Leadership Key Takeaways:   The Reliable One Is a Role, Not an Identity: Building your sense of self around being available to everyone is a reward system, not a foundation. Recognising what that role is costing you — in energy, in clarity, in career direction — is the first step to changing it. Introversion Is a Skill Gap, Not a Personality Sentence: Linda didn't network because she'd never been taught how, not because she was incapable. Once she separated the label from the limitation, she built a podcast, a community, and a career chapter on her own terms. Observation Is Underrated Leadership Data: Stepping back and watching — really watching — builds pattern recognition that others miss. The quietest person in the room often sees the most. Someone Has to Make the Call: Consensus has its place, but leadership means being willing to own a decision, not manage a committee. The people around you are counting on someone to choose. The New Reward Has to Be Real: When you stop being the one who solves everything, the satisfaction has to come from somewhere else. For Linda, it became the pride of watching her team step up. The reward needs to be replaced — not just removed. About Linda Misegadis:   Linda Misegadis is a Senior Government Strategist at UKG and Global Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Ambassador, based in Colorado. She is a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP), Certified Public Manager (CPM), IPMA-CP, and Prosci Certified Change Manager who has spent her career helping organisations navigate complexity — and bring people with them through it. She previously served as Director of Citywide Payroll Operations and Administration for the City and County of Denver, where she led a workforce management deployment across 13,000 employees. Her defining career pivot came when she walked into the VP of Sales of the company whose software she had just implemented, told him plainly that she didn't think they understood the public sector space, and left with a job offer. She is also the co-host of the Her Resources Podcast.

There are patterns playing out in your sales conversations right now that have nothing to do with strategy, pricing, or timing. And until you see them clearly, no tactic is going to fix them. Client Chaos in Sales: Why You Keep Getting Pulled Into the Drama Here’s the dynamic I see constantly: a prospect throws chaos at you — competing priorities, sudden emergencies, a dozen reasons why this moment isn’t right. And the natural response is to meet them there. To empathize, validate, and start problem-solving the drama instead of the actual decision. What most people don’t realize is that this is exactly what the other person’s subconscious is pulling for — not out of malice, but because it’s the only world they know how to operate in. A lot of us were raised in chaotic environments. We adapted to it, and that adaptation became our baseline. So when chaos enters a sales conversation, something familiar activates — and we step right in. Client Chaos in Sales: The Mindset Shift That Keeps You in the Problem-Solver’s Chair The way through is deceptively simple. You acknowledge the problem — just enough to show you heard it — and then you offer a clear path forward. You don’t step into their world. You open a door to a calmer one. The internal shift that makes this possible is learning to ask ‘how do I solve this?’ instead of ‘how do I respond to this?’ That single reorientation changes what you say, how you lead, and what you close. And it starts well before the sales conversation begins. Episode 61 – Building Killer Self Confidence Episode 324 – Be Pulled Into Success Episode 502 -Opportunity Knocks at the Door of Chaos HERE’S THE TRUTH:YOUR BUSINESS ISN’T BROKEN. YOUR MINDSET IS.You’ve built something real. You’ve got clients, revenue, maybe even a team. But every morning, you wake up feeling like you’re pushing a boulder uphill — working harder for smaller wins, watching others leap ahead while you grind in place. This May, I’m opening the doors to The Elite Mind — a proven daily practice that rewires the mental patterns keeping you stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle, and transforms your relationship with success from the inside out. We’ll strip away the self-sabotage, the fear of your own potential, and the unconscious limits you’ve accepted as “just how business is.” You’ll discover why strategy alone never works (and what actually does), and walk away with the mental framework that separates those who sustain success from those who chase it forever. Ready to stop working harder and start thinking differently? CLICK HERE to find out more!

James Scott describes Curtis LeMay as a pragmatic, "hardscrabble" problem-solver who put himself through college by working nights in a steel mill. Replacing Hansel after only 44 days, LeMay realizes that high-altitude bombing is an "unsolvable equation" given the weather variables. He revamps maintenance, embraces radar, and demonstrates a ruthless focus on results, such as bypassing bureaucracy to pay native tribes in opium for the rescue of downed airmen. The sources also detail the American development of napalm, which was tested on a mock Japanese village in the Utah desert. This village, built with authentic tatami mats and sliding doors, was repeatedly burned to determine how best to exploit Japan's "Achilles heel": its dense wooden architecture. War planners identified specific "incendiary zones" in cities like Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka that were highly susceptible to fire, providing LeMay with the data needed to transition from pinpoint strategic targets to mass urban destruction. 3/81943 LEMAY

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason students struggle with math problem solving has nothing to do with effort, curriculum, or ability? In this opening, we challenge a common assumption and reveal a powerful truth: the structure of math classrooms is often what holds students back from building confidence. This shift in perspective sets the stage for transforming how we think about teaching math as a language of power. Step into a real classroom scenario where a single moment exposes a deeper issue—students equating math success with speed rather than understanding. Watch how one student's quick answer unintentionally shuts down others, revealing how traditional routines can quietly erode confidence. This story will resonate with any educator who has seen students disengage during problem solving.

Send us Fan MailGrant Otto on what 1,000 feet underwater can teach us about career purpose and the power of "waiting."“The biggest ‘career moves' don't start with a resume; they start with curiosity.”I recently sat down with Grant Otto, a marine scientist and researcher specializing in marine robotics. If that sounds like a job from a movie, that's because it almost is, complete with stories of underwater ROVs getting tangled 1,000 feet down and “wet storage” missions to recover equipment worth more than a house.But Grant didn't come on Outside Insights just to talk about how cool the tech is (though it is very cool). He came because he's on a mission: he's trying to get more talented people to care about the ocean.Three Lessons from the Deep1. We need more than just “Turtle Lovers.” Most people get hooked on marine science by watching National Geographic. But to solve the massive challenges facing our oceans, warming waters, and rising acidity, Grant argues we need more than just biology fans. To build a “Blue Economy,” we need:Engineers and Builders to design resilient tech.Artists and Communicators to tell the story of our changing coastlines.Problem Solvers who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty (or wet).2. The Power of the Cold Email Grant's career didn't start with a recruiter; it started with a cold email. While studying mechanical engineering, he realized he loved robotics and surfing. He asked a simple question: “What about marine robotics?” That curiosity turned into a Master's degree and a career with deep purpose.3. Surfing as Leadership Meditation We dove into the difference between work that “funds your life” and work that “defines you.” Grant shared a powerful perspective on surfing, describing as 80–90% waiting.For leaders who feel like they are constantly “pushing through,” Grant's advice is a necessary pivot: Sometimes leadership isn't about pushing harder; it's about knowing when to get quiet enough to hear the right wave.Try This This WeekTake five minutes of “waiting” time today, no phone, no music, no noise. Just observe. Like Grant waiting for a wave, use that quiet space to remember your “why.”

https://teachhoops.com/ The role of an assistant coach is often described as being the "coach of the coaches," but in reality, you are the "Chief Culture Officer" and "Tactical Specialist." A great assistant doesn't just sit on the bench and record stats; they provide the "connective tissue" between the head coach's vision and the players' execution. The most vital quality you can possess is "Loyal Candor." This means being 100% supportive of the head coach in public while being brave enough to offer a differing perspective in private. In the heat of the mid-season January grind, a head coach needs someone who isn't a "yes man," but someone who can suggest a tweak to the zone offense or a rotation change that saves a game. Beyond loyalty, an elite assistant must master the "Art of the Specific Niche." Whether you are the "Defensive Coordinator," the "Post Player Specialist," or the "Scouting Lead," you must own your domain with obsession. Your goal is to make the head coach's job easier by removing "decision fatigue." Instead of just identifying a problem, walk into the office with a solution: "Coach, our ball-screen coverage is leaking; I've drafted three 5-minute drills to tighten up the 'hedge' for tomorrow's practice." By being a "Problem-Solver, Not a Problem-Reporter," you build the "Trust Equity" required to one day lead your own program. Finally, a great assistant is the "Master of Relationship Management." You are often the "bridge" for players who might be afraid to speak directly to the head coach. This requires high Emotional Intelligence (EQ). You must know when to put an arm around a player who just got benched and when to challenge a starter who is underperforming. Utilize your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your own professional growth: are you just "doing your job," or are you "preparing for the next job"? By modeling the work ethic and poise you want to see in the athletes, you become the "Invisible Engine" that drives a championship-level program.

CURTIS LEMAY TAKES COMMAND AND TESTS INCENDIARIES Colleague James M. Scott. After Hanselwas fired for a lack of results, Curtis LeMay, a pragmatic problem-solver from a hardscrabble background, took command in January 1945. LeMay realized the existing tactics were unsolvable equations and began tinkering with variables like altitude and radar. Concurrently, the US developed napalm and the M69 incendiary bomb, testing them on a mock Japanese village built in the Utah desert to ensure they could burn traditional wood-and-paper Japanesearchitecture. LeMay possessed detailed data on Tokyo's flammable density, preparing to exploit the city's architectural vulnerabilities. NUMBER 3 1945 OKINAWA
