Podcast appearances and mentions of rodney thomas

In his sermon "Running for Your Life," Dr. Rodney Thomas explores the concept of hope and trust in the face of life's challenges. He shares deeply personal experiences, including the tragic deaths of his father and brother, to illustrate the reality of hardship in a believer's life. Dr. Thomas emphasizes that following Jesus does not shield us from tragedy but provides the strength to persevere. Rodney draws parallels between Jesus' suffering on the cross and our own struggles, highlighting Christ's unwavering forgiveness and love even in His darkest hour. He references Luke 23:32-38 and Hebrews 4:14-16 to underscore Jesus' role as our great high priest and advocate before God. Dr. Thomas concludes with a powerful call to action, urging listeners to place their trust in Jesus, follow His example of sacrificial love, and make a commitment to Him through confession and baptism. https://bwaychurch.org

Lessons from "Entry Planning for Equity-Focused Leaders:" with Adam Parrott-Sheffer As a principal transitioning into a new position, I searched for the literature on entry plans and discovered "Entry Planning for Equity-Focused Leaders: Empowering Schools and Communities." In this practitioner-focused and action-oriented work, Jennifer Perry Cheatham, Rodney Thomas, and Adam Parrott-Sheffer consolidate their extensive experience centering equity in leadership. They affirm that the entry of a new leader, or the pivot of an established one, affords an unparalleled opportunity to garner the insight, trust, and commitment to establish a basis for positive, equitable transformation within a system. Today I have the distinguished honor of interviewing Adam Parrott-Sheffer, one of the co-authors. He was interviewed on Wisdom & Productivity when the show had just started and I am thankful he's back for a second time.  Adam is a former nonprofit and school district senior leader.  His areas of expertise include: leadership entry, team development, board management, and program evaluation/impact.  —QUESTIONS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A PRINCIPAL Adam, how are you feeling? Please share with us the origin story of the book. Can you explain what an entry plan is and how it can help school principals achieve their goals? Why is equity such an important consideration for school principals, and how can an entry plan help them promote equity within their schools? Entry plan phases Reflect Listen and Learn Plan to Act Why is it important to develop a leadership story? Can you describe what empathy interviews look like? How to input this information and how to disaggregate this qualitative data in a way that makes sense? Can you tell us about the importance of political mapping? How can principals decide who to talk to? Are there some people one must avoid? Are the most important questions: What do you like about ______? What do you want to see better or improve? How can one engage non dominant voices? The book talks about superintendents getting a team and even hiring consultants; how can principals adapt this advice? Quote: “A leader must connect values and strategy through EMOTIONS to generate collective action.” How can principals share findings? James Baldwin quote: “not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” An example of a CORRESPONDING STRENGHTS-BASED LANGUAGE: “the highest form of school love is the belief that each student is capable of excellence and deserving of deep learning and critical feedback” How to persuade the teachers or administrators who want to put blame on things that we cannot control? What is your advice on creating report of findings  Without offending people Sensemaking process And making time for healing The three authors expressed they did everything they were supposed to do but didn't center the importance of healing, self-care, and care for others – perhaps THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIFT Wondering if this will delay the expected progress districts have for principals — what advice do you have importance of self care as act of resistance Cheatham mentioned that she worked 14 hour days and this took a toll in the family The advice of not emailing people at night as it can trigger negative emotions Should principals schedule email time? Adam expresses his gratefulness on the last pages for those that supported him and mentions joyful learning; can we end the show by you telling us on how we can make learning (and teaching) joyful again?

Week 18 was bittersweet for Rodney McLeod. Texans winning, and losing the #1 overall draft pick is proof there is no tanking in the NFL. Rodney takes us through the process of his first career pick 6 interception Rodney Thomas pays respects to high school teammate: Damar Hamlin, on his INT. R. McLeod talk about R. Thomas' growth. Rodney breaks down the game winning touchdown pass for the Texans, that Rodney Thomas missed. Why did the breaks go against the Colts this season, rather than for them? How Rodney felt about this season's Colts defense, player & coach wise.

Jeff Saturday deserved better than a 32-31 loss in his assumed sendoff as interim head coach of the Colts. Rodney Thomas sort of won the game with an interception - and then allowed the Texans to score the winning touchdown on a fourth and 20 play. Chicago Bears will select first in the April draft as a result of the Colts loss. You're welcome! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jerraud Powers remembers being in a game like this during the 'Suck For Luck' year. "Character, job security, and pride" are the things that come to Rodney McLeod's about this game. Davis Mills' inconsistency will probably cost him his job this offseason. Texans are competitive, they have had a lot of close games against good teams. The Houston Texans have 2 very fast receivers: Brandon Cooks and Phillip Dorsett. Jerry Hughes is still good, and Jerraud remembers playing with him on the Colts. The guys name their Defensive MVP for the year on the Colts. Rodney Thomas has gotten help from Rodney McLeod and others, and he has played well as a rookie, But still has things to learn. Michael Pittman is the unanimous Offensive MVP for the Colts this year. Chase McLaughlin is the unanimous Special teams player for the 2022 NFL season. Game Predictions.

Colts safety Rodney Thomas made the two-hour drive from Indianapolis to Cincinnati to provide his sedated friend words of encouragement. Vikings defensive tackle and former Bills teammate Harrison Phillips arranged to have dinner delivered to the hospital. Hamlin’s marketing representative Jordan Rooney told The Associated Press the player’s recovery is moving in “a positive direction.” The Bills say Hamlin is still in critical condition but has shown signs of improvement. NFL – Hamlin’s collapse spurs new wave of vaccine misinformation Misinformation about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines has flared up once again, this time following the on-field collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during a game Monday. Even before Hamlin was carried off the field, social media posts claimed without evidence that his medical emergency was caused by a COVID-19 inoculation. Prominent anti-vaccine groups and right-leaning figures like Tucker Carlson claimed Hamlin’s cardiac arrest is connected to a number of athletes who have died after receiving the shot. Physicians interviewed by the AP, however, said it’s wrong to blame vaccines for Hamlin’s injury and that there’s been no increase in cardiac arrests among vaccinated athletes. NFL – NFL still considering scheduling options, Week 18 unchanged The NFL is still considering various options following the suspension of the Bills-Bengals game, including possibly eliminating the bye week before the Super Bowl. The Bills-Patriots game set for Sunday and the rest of the Week 18 games remain on schedule. The pivotal Bills-Bengals game was suspended Monday night after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest while making a tackle in the first quarter. A marketing representative for his family says Hamlin's recovery is moving in “a positive direction” two days after the 24-year-old player had to be resuscitated on the field. NFL executive Jeff Miller said there has been no decision on whether to resume the Bills-Bengals game at a later date. A decision will be made in the coming days. NFL – Bears’ Fields to miss finale, ending shot at QB rushing mark Justin Fields won't get a chance to break the single-season rushing record for an NFL quarterback. Coach Matt Eberflus says Fields will miss the season finale against the Minnesota Vikings because of a strained hip and Nathan Peterman will start in his place. Fields finishes his second season with 1,143 yards rushing, 63 shy of the record of 1,206 set by Baltimore's Lamar Jackson in 2019 during his MVP season. Eberflus said Fields reported a sore hip Monday morning, a day after the Bears got blown out at Detroit. An MRI confirmed the strain and the team's medical staff ruled him out for the game against NFC North champion Minnesota on Sunday. MLB – Benintendi just planning to be himself as he joins White Sox Andrew Benintendi pulled on his new No. 23 Chicago White Sox jersey a day after finalizing a $75 million, five-year deal. It's the richest contract in terms of total value in franchise history. The White Sox had long been interested in Benintendi, going back to when the outfielder was selected by Boston with the No. 7 pick in the 2015 amateur draft — one spot ahead of Chicago. Benintendi says it’s good to be with a team that wanted him from the get-go. MLB – AP source: Cubs, 1B Hosmer agree to 1-year contract Eric Hosmer has agreed to a $720,000, one-year contract with the Chicago Cubs, giving the team another option at first base and designated hitter. A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it was pending a successful physical. The 33-year-old Hosmer played for San Diego and Boston last season, batting .268 with eight homers and 44 RBIs in 104 games. He was traded to Boston in August, and then he was designated for assignment by the Red Sox last month. USA Soccer – Reyna family flagged Berhalter incident; interim coach named The U.S. Men's soccer team has been plunged into public turmoil because the family of former U.S. captain Claudio Reyna family says it was the one to notify the U.S. Soccer Federation of a decades-old incident involving Gregg Berhalter and his wife. The family says it took action in response to the coach's disparagement of young star Gio Reyna, Claudio’s son. Berhalter said Tuesday that his 1991 behavior in which he kicked the woman who would become his wife was “shameful.” Anthony Hudson will coach the team for exhibitions against Serbia on Jan. 25 and Colombia 3 days later. IIHF – Canada beats US 6-2 in world junior hockey semifinals Adam Fantilli scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, Thomas Milic made 43 saves and Canada overcame an early deficit to beat the United States 6-2 on Wednesday night to advance to the world junior hockey championship game. Seeking its 20th title, Canada will face the Czech Republic on Thursday night. The Czechs, 5-2 winners over Canada in their tournament opener, rallied to beat Sweden 2-1 in overtime in the first semifinal. Joshua Roy had two goals, the second into the empty net, and two assists for Canada. Fantilli, Connor Bedard and Logan Stankoven each had a goal and an assist, and Brandt Clarke also scored.
