    Dr. Gee returns to the discussion of his involvement in a university report on the Black Community Experience at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In episode 188 he discussed the upcoming report with UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin and now that the report is public, he is joined by fellow board members on the ad hoc committee. Dr. Angela Byers-Winston and Ray Allen discuss the difference between good intentions and intentionality, when it comes to identifying and creating real change? The ad hoc study group worked to present their critical findings and strategic recommendations aimed at addressing the long-standing challenges faced by Black students, faculty, and staff on university campus. They discuss the question, “What is the systemic inertia to follow through on the recommendations?” Hear the unfiltered conversation about the report conducted by the UW by those that served on the board. All three speak honestly about the process, offering what made them angry or frustrated, and the hopes they have for change. They talk about how creating programs only can't change the DEI issues, but it takes institutional and organizational change. Also, be sure to catch a double portion of the Black Ice Breakers segment. Dr. Angela Byars-Winston is a tenured faculty member in the Division of General Internal Medicine within the Department of Medicine. She is also the inaugural Chair of the University of Wisconsin Institute for Diversity Science, associate director in the Collaborative Center for Health Equity, and faculty lead in the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research.

    Time Outs: Helpful or harmful? Here's what the research says Pediatricians and researchers commonly recommend that parents use time outs when kids misbehave.  Time outs are promoted as an effective, evidence-based parenting strategy - although the real reason they're so highly recommended is that they cause less damage to children than hitting. But if we're already using respectful/gentle parenting strategies most of the time, could there be any benefit to adding time outs when our children don't comply with more gentle methods? This episode delves into the research on: Which children and families researchers think time outs are effective for (it's not the same group of children who are usually study participants!); The precise time out script that has been shown to be effective (and why it works); Whether time outs harm children or not (this is one of the biggest controversies in the Gentle Parenting world) If you've heard that time out is an effective strategy to gain children's cooperation but weren't sure whether it fits with your Gentle Parenting approach, this episode will help you to decide for yourself whether it's a good fit for you and your family.

A weakened blood-brain barrier (leaky brain) lets harmful substances into the brain, potentially leading to mental health issues like depression and neurodegenerative diseases. This is similar to leaky gut, where a loose intestinal lining allows toxins into the bloodstream.Research shows that improving gut health—through probiotics, prebiotics, a healthy diet, and lifestyle changes—can strengthen the gut-brain connection and reduce inflammation. Addressing gut health could be a key step in improving mental health and preventing brain-related conditions.For full show notes and information:https://healthylifewithandrea.com/blog/9234/leaky-brainReady to address the cause of your health challenges with a long term, natural solution?

The conversation builds on insights from the CMAJ practice article “Five things to know about shorter courses of antibiotics” co-authored by Dr. Maria Ivankovic, an emergency physician at St. Joseph's Health Centre in Toronto.Dr. Ivankovic explains why shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for many common infections and how this approach can reduce the risk of antimicrobial resistance and adverse effects for patients. She highlights key conditions with strong evidence for shorter durations and discusses practical strategies for implementing these changes in practice.Dr. Lynora Saxinger, an infectious diseases specialist and professor of medicine at the University of Alberta, broadens the discussion by examining the current state of antimicrobial resistance in Canada and globally. She explores the drivers of resistance, including unnecessary and inappropriate antibiotic use. Dr. Saxinger introduces the concept of the antibiotic footprint as an analogue to the carbon footprint, encouraging physicians to consider the collective impact of their prescribing decisions.This episode provides actionable advice for physicians looking to balance patient care with stewardship practices, helping to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations.To learn more about exciting physician careers from our sponsor, Vancouver Coastal Health, visit vch.ca/jobyouwantJoin us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Today, we're diving deep into mindful masculinity, consciousness, and vulnerability, and how they intersect for profound emotional healing and spiritual growth.Mindful masculinity is about redefining what it means to be a strong, authentic man. In a society where emotional suppression is often mistaken for strength, Scott sheds light on how consciousness and vulnerability can create healthier relationships, self-awareness, and personal empowerment.Key Insights from the InterviewBalancing Humor with Spiritual Depth: Scott's comedic style brings levity to sensitive topics like masculinity, consciousness, and vulnerability, helping his audience stay engaged while processing profound insights.Emotional Intelligence & Conscious Growth: Scott discusses the importance of men developing emotional awareness and vulnerability as tools for personal healing and better relationships.Breaking Free from Cultural Stigmas: The outdated narrative of the 'tough, silent man' often prevents emotional expression.

We talk about their coauthored paper "STILL AROUND": Experiences and Survival Strategies of Veteran Women Software Developers (ICSE 2023). Alexander Serebrenik : "It's a typical criticism of any human-factors study in software engineering, namely: What makes software engineers any different than any other human being — could a study have been conducted, say, with nurses or judges or whichever other professional category you can imagine. Therefore, in this paper "STILL AROUND" it was crucial for us to present clearly in the Introduction what it is that makes software engineers somehow special with respect to gender and age. Because otherwise, we would have struggled to convince researchers to devote any attention to the topic."

    Amy Wilson, author of Happy to Help, joins us to discuss the complexities of people pleasing, her personal journey of overcoming it, and strategies for teaching teens to listen to their own voice and set healthy boundaries.If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Full Show NotesAs parents, we want to raise teens who are confident, grounded in their values, and capable of standing up for themselves—even when it's difficult. Yet in a world that often rewards people-pleasing behavior, teaching our teens to cultivate authenticity can be a tricky endeavor. From a young age, many individuals are socialized to put others' needs before their own, ignore their inner voice, and aim to please. The challenge for caregivers lies in guiding teenagers to embrace their own desires and make decisions based on their personal truths, even when faced with societal pressures to conform.This is the backdrop of today's discussion, as we delve into the nuances of people pleasing and the importance of empowering teens to connect with their inner voices. Our guest, Amy Wilson, an actor, writer, podcaster, and author of Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser, shares her journey from an eighth-grade people pleaser to a conscious parent teaching her children the value of self-advocacy. Amy brings a wealth of experience, not only from her own life but from hosting the podcast What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood.Throughout the episode, Amy emphasizes the role of parents in modeling boundary setting and advocating for personal wants and needs. She reflects on the importance of letting kids experience natural consequences and the discomfort of unmet expectations to encourage problem-solving skills and personal growth.The Consequences of Over-RemindingOne common struggle shared by parents is the habitual reminder—a seemingly well-intentioned effort to guide teens through their obligations can sometimes backfire. When reminders become incessant, teenagers may develop resistance or rely on their parents for motivation, detracting from their sense of responsibility and autonomy. Amy openly discusses her own struggles and how she has navigated this territory with her children, offering valuable insights on striking a balance between gentle guidance and fostering independence.Eighth Grade Diaries and Emotional IntensityAmy also takes us on a nostalgic journey through her eighth-grade diary entries, which she uses as a lens to explore adolescent self-awareness and emotional experiences. This segment highlights the significance of strong emotions and first-time experiences during young adolescence, encouraging parents to validate their teens' feelings while providing the perspective that comes with age and maturity.Tackling Perfectionism and Gender ExpectationsA notable theme in Amy's discussion is perfectionism, specifically the concept of socially prescribed perfectionism imposed by societal standards. This pressure is particularly pertinent to the expectations placed on women and girls, and Amy eloquently addresses how parents can combat these external pressures by reinforcing their teens' intrinsic worth and personal boundaries.As we explore these themes, Amy shares anecdotes from her experiences—both personal and as a parent—alongside actionable strategies for helping teenagers honor their authentic selves. In the Episode…Join the conversation as we uncover:The importance of providing teens with space to fail and learn from mistakes.How to identify and combat people-pleasing tendencies in yourself and your teens.Strategies for breaking the cycle of responding to social expectations.Ways to empower teens to articulate and pursue their true desires.Amy Wilson's episode is a deep dive into the realm of people pleasing and the crucial skills parents can foster to help teens lead authentic, self-assured lives.

My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is both incredibly simple and potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to live intentionally and on His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together!   Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!”   **(27:00 – 23:00)** Stages of Spiritual Growth – Questions to Ponder 1. Spiritual Infant Loving God: Do you understand the Gospel and what Jesus has done for you? Loving Others: Do you feel connected to a church family? Making Disciples: Do you know what it means to share your faith with others? 2. Spiritual Child Loving God: Are you developing a regular habit of prayer and Bible reading? Loving Others: How are you learning to serve others in love? Making Disciples: Do you understand why discipleship is important? What steps are you taking to grow in your ability to explain the Gospel?       **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1** Study as a Spiritual Discipline 1. Building a Biblical Foundation - Why Study Purpose of Study: To know God and grow in spiritual maturity. Key Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:15: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Hosea 4:6a: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Importance of Study: Strengthens our faith (Romans 10:17). Equips us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Protects against false teaching (Acts 17:11, Ephesians 4:14). 2. What to Study The Word of God: Primary focus should be the Bible. Key Scripture: Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Matthew 4:4: "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" Supporting Resources: Study guides, commentaries, and Bible dictionaries. Church doctrinal statements and creeds (to understand Baptist distinctives). Key Topics to Include: The nature of God, salvation, sanctification, and missions. 3. Who Should Study Every Believer: Spiritual growth is the responsibility of all Christians. Key Scripture: Colossians 3:16: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." 1 Peter 2:2: "As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby." Special Responsibilities: Teachers and leaders bear greater accountability in teaching and applying truth. Key Scripture: James 3:1: "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment." **(00:00) END PART 1**   **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** 4. How to Study The Grammatical-Historical-Literal Framework for Studying the Bible 1. Purpose: Understanding how to study the Bible to uncover its intended meaning. Emphasize that Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17) and must be handled carefully (2 Timothy 2:15). Goal: Equip learners to study Scripture accurately and faithfully. 2. Overview of the Framework Definition: Grammatical: Focus on the language and structure of the text. Historical: Consider the historical and cultural context. Literal: Interpret according to the plain meaning of the text, unless clearly figurative. Key Scripture: Nehemiah 8:8: "So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading." 2 Peter 1:20-21: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." 3. Step-by-Step Explanation A. Grammatical Approach Focus: Analyze sentence structure, grammar, and word meanings. Practical Tools: Use concordances and interlinear Bibles to study original Greek and Hebrew words. Recognize literary devices like metaphors, similes, and hyperboles. Example: Study "love" in 1 Corinthians 13, noting the Greek word agape for deeper understanding. B. Historical Approach Focus: Understand the cultural, geographical, and historical context. Practical Tools: Use Bible atlases, historical commentaries, and timelines. Research customs and traditions relevant to the text. Example: Explore the context of the Good Samaritan parable (Luke 10:25-37) to understand Jewish-Samaritan relations. C. Literal Approach Focus: Take the text at face value unless the context suggests figurative language. Practical Tools: Identify genre: poetry, narrative, prophecy, etc. Compare Scripture with Scripture to clarify meaning. Example: Interpret Genesis 1 as a literal account of creation, unless a figurative explanation is evident. 4. Application and Integration Combining All Three Elements: Example Passage: Study John 3:16 using all three approaches. Grammatical: Analyze "believe" in Greek (pisteuo) to understand its depth. Historical: Consider Nicodemus' Jewish background and understanding. Literal: Take the plain meaning of God's promise of eternal life for believers. Practice Exercise: Assign a passage for group study, using the framework to break down its meaning. 5. Recommended Resources Concordances: Strong's Concordance. Interlinear Bibles: Available on BibleHub or Blue Letter Bible. Historical Context: Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary. Commentaries: For beginners: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary. For advanced study: The Expositor's Bible Commentary. 6. Conclusion Reiterate the value of accurate Bible study for spiritual growth and understanding. Encourage consistent practice using the framework to build confidence in handling Scripture. Close with 2 Timothy 2:15 as a charge: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Key Scripture: 2 Peter 1:20-21: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."   Practical Steps for Bible Study: Pray for Understanding (Psalm 119:18). Read the Passage Repeatedly (Joshua 1:8). Observe: Look for key words, phrases, and structure. Interpret: Use cross-references and study tools for clarification. Apply: Determine how the passage affects your life and obedience to God. Think – God given ability Recommended Resources for Beginners: A good study Bible (e.g., NKJV Study Bible). Bible dictionaries (e.g., Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary). Introductory commentaries (e.g., Wiersbe's Expository Outlines on the Bible). Online tools like BibleHub or Blue Letter Bible for concordances and interlinear studies. Logos Bible software         **(5:00 – 1:00)**   Doctrine of the Month - The Church Defined Edification and the Local Church   Outline: Leadership of the Local Church Topic: A Baptist theological perspective on the leadership structure and responsibilities within the local church. 1. Introduction (2 min) Key Idea: Baptists hold to congregational governance under the Lordship of Christ, with two biblical offices: pastors/elders and deacons. Purpose: To explore the roles, qualifications, and functions of church leaders. Scripture Reference: Colossians 1:18 "And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence." 2. Christ as the Head of the Church (2 min) Christ is the ultimate authority, and leaders serve under His direction. The local church submits to His Lordship in all matters of faith and practice. Scripture Reference: Ephesians 1:22-23 "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." 3. The Role of Pastors/Elders (5 min) Definition: Pastors (also called elders or overseers) are responsible for shepherding, teaching, and leading the church spiritually. Key Responsibilities: Preaching the Word, equipping the saints, and providing oversight. Scripture References: 1 Timothy 3:1-7 "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." 1 Peter 5:2-3 "Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." 4. The Role of Deacons (5 min) Definition: Deacons are servants who support the practical needs of the church to free pastors for their primary roles. Key Responsibilities: Serving the congregation, addressing physical and administrative needs. Scripture References: Acts 6:3-4 "Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 1 Timothy 3:8-13 "Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus." 5. Congregational Governance (3 min) Definition: In Baptist churches, the congregation is the final authority under Christ. Members are responsible for affirming leaders, making key decisions, and maintaining doctrinal purity. Scripture References: Acts 6:5 "And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch." Matthew 18:17 "And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector." 6. The Importance of Servant Leadership (3 min) Key Idea: Both pastors and deacons model servant leadership, following Christ's example. Leadership in the church is about humility, service, and love for the body of Christ. Scripture Reference: Mark 10:43-45 "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." 7. Conclusion (2 min) God has ordained pastors and deacons to serve and lead the church under Christ's Lordship. Congregational participation ensures the church remains faithful to its mission. Call to action: Pray for your church leaders and actively support the work of the local church.       **(1:00)**   - “Thank you for listening today!   -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.
