In honor of Veterans Day, Brooke and Chad take a moment to reflect on the powerful influence of role models — both those who have served and those who embody the same spirit of courage, sacrifice, and leadership. Veterans remind us daily of what it means to give selflessly for a greater purpose, and this episode explores how that same strength shows up in our own lives and communities. As SPARK mentors, we're often viewed as role models ourselves, guiding others toward recognizing their own potential and innate resilience. This conversation holds special meaning for us at SPARK, as we also work closely with veterans in our local jail — witnessing firsthand their growth, wisdom, and the strength it takes to rebuild. Join Brooke and Chad as they unpack the connection between veterans, role models, and the deeper understanding of human potential that unites them all.

Retired U.S. Army General Mark Hertling returns for a must-hear conversation with host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff), just in time for Veterans Day and the Marine Corps birthday. As America faces political gridlock, rising division, a historic government shutdown, and critical questions about military readiness, Gen. Hertling offers hard-hitting analysis and real-world leadership lessons that matter now more than ever. Dive deep into the state of American values, why leadership and character still count, the collapse and comeback potential of the Democrats, and why drone warfare—and the Pentagon's internal purges—matter to all of us. Plus: Paul and the General break down the most important under-covered stories in Washington and around the world, from Venezuela military action to Ukraine's frontline tactics with drones, with candor and context you won't get anywhere else.

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome Sir Gareth Southgate, a renowned figure in English football and a symbol of leadership both on and off the pitch. Gareth is best known for his leadership as manager of the England men's national football team from 2016 to 2024. Under his guidance, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, and the finals of UEFA's European Championships in 2020 and 2024. His leadership was marked by his ability to reconnect the team with its fans, instil a sense of pride in representing England, and foster a culture of integrity and respect. Before transitioning to management, Gareth had a distinguished playing career, making over 500 league appearances for clubs like Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Middlesbrough. He captained both Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, leading them to League Cup wins and a UEFA Cup final. His leadership as a player was rooted in the values of discipline, hard work, and mutual respect for all members of the team. Gareth's managerial journey began at Middlesbrough before he took charge of the England Under-21s, ultimately stepping into the senior England manager role. He reflects on his early experiences and the leadership lessons learned from those around him, including his youth coach at Crystal Palace, who instilled the importance of discipline and challenge. Gareth also highlights the impact of his time at Aston Villa, where he learned valuable leadership lessons from senior players, who demonstrated generosity and selflessness despite being in competition for a starting role. Throughout the podcast, Gareth talks about the importance of leadership values such as integrity, respect, and treating everyone equally, regardless of their role in the team. He believes in the power of empathy and emotional intelligence, emphasising that being a good leader is not just about making decisions but about understanding the needs and perspectives of those you lead. Gareth also shares how he learned to delegate more effectively as he progressed in his leadership career, recognising that trust in others is essential for a successful team dynamic. He also reflects on the generational challenges facing young leaders today, particularly in terms of social skills like making eye contact and saying good morning. Gareth stresses the importance of empathy and creating an environment where people feel psychologically safe enough to speak up and offer their views. He acknowledges that leadership is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, always striving to improve and adapt to new challenges. In addition to his football career, Gareth is passionate about youth development and resilience. He's an ambassador for the Prince's Trust and a patron of Help for Heroes, working to support young people and veterans. He has also written books, including We Only Do Positive for youth football and Anything is Possible, a motivational guide for young people. Gareth's new book, Dear England: Lessons in Leadership, is set to delve deeper into his leadership journey and the lessons he's learned from his time managing England. This book promises to provide insight into his approach to leadership, the challenges he faced, and how he navigated them to build a winning team. Gareth hopes to inspire readers by sharing the leadership principles that have guided him throughout his career, aiming to encourage the next generation of leaders to trust themselves, embrace failure, and always strive for improvement.

It's great to be back behind the mic once again with a new episode of The Carp Fishing Podcast. Our special guests this month are a carp fishing comedy duo, in fact trying to get the pair of them to be serious for an hour or so wasn't easy but it worked. Jon Miller aka The Swedish Godfather and Jake Bromley aka The Housewife's favourite join me for a good old natter, just like the ones most of us have while sat round a kettle on the bank. Jon especially would have never agreed to come on if it wasn't for Jake's gentle encouragement but I am glad he did as Mr Miller has been around the block. His album is bursting at the seams with big carp yet most of them rarely see the light of day. Jake is also a ninja when it comes to catching big uns so I tried my best to extract some pearls of wisdom along the way. Their humour was infectious but sadly some of the Essex slang was lost on me, they call each other potato, what is that about? We also have the usual dose of mine and Marks ramblings and this month we touch on the subject of content over exposure. Specifically if you're making content without awareness of these issues. We discuss the impact content can have on venues, locations, the fish and discuss a recent film that dropped called "Bon Sens" from the guys at Brakass. This film hit hard recently and without spoiling the discussions it's one to check yourself. Lastly, we have our resident Scandinavian Leney aka The Panther reading his monthly sermon. Get your answers quickly to win a Baitworks prize. Enjoy. 

This Sunday will be the final Sunday of having Vasili Panagopoulos with us here at St. George.  He was assigned to us for Youth Ministry 2 years ago and he stayed to chant the Divine Services for us (when he didnt have to).  We thank him and his family for being with us!We also hear in this sermon about having the RIGHT role models in this life.  Who are they?Listen...

In this compelling conversation, I sit down with 21-year-old desister Simon Amaya Price, who identified as transgender from ages 14 to 17. Now serving as Outreach and Events Lead at the LGB Courage Coalition, Simon offers invaluable insights into why young people—especially those with autism—fall into gender ideology.We explore the perfect storm of factors that led to Simon's trans identification: autism, bullying, sexual assault, and false accusations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Simon shares how his parents' firm boundaries against medicalization, combined with giving him a "long leash" to make mistakes and learn from them, ultimately helped him desist.Our discussion delves into practical strategies for parents, including the "match plus one" social skills framework, body-based distress tolerance techniques, and why allowing kids to experience natural consequences is crucial. Simon challenges the "neurodiversity affirming" approach that keeps autistic kids disabled, advocating instead for teaching real-world skills. We examine how disconnection from the body fuels gender dysphoria and why adventures, cold showers, and physical challenges can reconnect kids to reality. This episode offers hope and concrete tools for families navigating the gender crisis.Simon is a desister, writer, and speaker, fighting gender ideology with classical liberal values. At 14, he came out as transgender but desisted after 3 years. He has written for The Boston Globe, testified on bills nationwide, has spoken in communities across the country, and been featured in the Daily Mail, Boston Herald, and The Daily Signal.

New research has shown children are far more likely to participate in play and sport when a parent is doing it themselves.

Research from Sport NZ finds more than half of young people say spending time with family and friends is their top reason for being active - and those kids who like being active with whanau are more likely to meet recommended guidelines for physical activity. Scott MacKenzie is the play manager at Sport New Zealand talks with Kathryn about raising active kids. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

In one of the most emotional and powerful episodes of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jason Comer, a husband, father of five, and living testimony of how God's grace can turn devastation into destiny.   Jason's life is a raw reflection of brokenness, rebellion, incarceration, relapse, forgiveness, and divine restoration. This episode traces his complete journey—from a troubled childhood and early substance use, to meth addiction, prison, family separation, and the miraculous road back to sobriety, faith, and fatherhood.   Through tears, laughter, and hard truths, Jason opens up about what it means to be a man redeemed. He shares how Hope City Church, mentorship, and a community of believers gave him the spiritual and emotional tools he never had growing up. His story reveals the brutal reality of addiction—but more importantly, the beauty of God's redemption story when we finally stop running.   This is more than a story about getting sober. It's a story about becoming whole, about how God can take the pieces of a shattered life and build something new—something strong enough to lead a family, raise kids with love, and inspire others to believe that no matter how dark the pit, there is always a way out.   If you're a parent fighting your own battles, a man seeking purpose, or someone walking through the ashes of addiction or shame—this episode will meet you right where you are.   ⸻

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Vincent Bioseh continue their important discussion from Part 1, tackling the critical issue of the scarcity of Christian content for children and the subtle programming that influences young minds. With the rise of indoctrination in various media, it is crucial for parents—especially Christian ones—to actively monitor what their kids watch on TV and the internet.Gabrielle and Vincent emphasize the need to guide children according to the teachings of Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This highlights the importance of teaching kids the right values from a young age.Throughout their conversation, they stress the value of having open talks with kids about their experiences, helping them handle social pressures and moral challenges with confidence. They also suggest using educational resources like Christian cartoons and videos to teach complex yet important lessons in an engaging way.Additionally, they discuss how parents should set a good example for their children. This helps kids build their own personal relationship with God, encouraging them to find their unique connection to faith rather than just following what their parents believe.Join us for this insightful continuation of their conversation, as they share practical advice on how to raise children with strong values in a media-filled world.Who is Vincent Bioseh?Vincent Bioseh is a passionate podcast host, author, and dedicated Christian leader committed to sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to fulfill their God-given purpose.

As a survivor of abuse who can we look up to for role models?This is a problem for survivors because there are so few positive portrayals of survivors in media.Often survivors are either victims or perpetrators, but they aren't represented positively.As survivors of abuse the way we can change this is by being a role model ourselves and talking about what happened to us and how we are getting through it.By doing that we can be the role model that other survivors can look up to and get inspiration from.It's up to all of us. We can be the inspiration.No Longer Ashamed FBbolgerkevin15@gmail.com

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

Not everyone instinctively knows when they've reached the point in life where they're ready for kids.

Our truest identity is not found in earthly things but in Christ, who has claimed us as citizens of heaven.

Beneath the Surface PODCAST - Role Models by 2mfm

Emily Duggan's story is a perfect example of why it's important to share the stories of women in sport.When Emily was a little girl, she was watching TV one weekend and came across the Supercar motor racing series here in Australia and was instantly hooked.However Emily, in that moment, also realised there were no women racing and thought it was a “boy's sport” and put it to the back of her mind (as the saying goes, “you can't be what you can't see”).Thankfully the voice that whispered to Emily that day never disappeared and as soon as she started working, she began saving for her first racing car - and hasn't looked back since.In 2016, Emily became the 1st female driver to race in the V8 Touring Car Series here in Australia and now in 2019 is racing in the Super3 series (which is the 3rd tier in the Supercar series here).And sometime soon, I know we'll see Emily line up on the start of the iconic Bathurst 1000 race (a race I've promised to watch, for the first time ever, when she does!).Emily shares her story with me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.

Send us a textMeet Michelle "Mace" Curran, former Air Force Thunderbird pilot, keynote speaker, and author. The conversation kicks off with Michelle sharing her excitement about the upcoming release of her first nonfiction book, The Flip Side: How to Invert Your Perspective and Turn Fear into Your Superpower. She explains how the book, infused with lessons and stories from her 13 years flying fighter jets, aims to help readers transform fear into a tool for growth and resilience.-Key takeaways include: Flip Your Fear: Michelle's new book, The Flip Side, is rooted in the idea of reframing fear. Instead of trying to “turn off” fear, she encourages leaning into it—because growth often happens at the edges of our comfort zones. Small, bold choices add up over time!Normalize Doubt: Even at the top, imposter syndrome is real. Michelle emphasizes separating our inner critic from our true abilities, reframing negative self-talk, and recognizing that even the highest performers have doubts—they just don't let it keep them from showing up.Relatability Drives Impact: Whether inspiring kids through her children's books or adults with leadership lessons, Michelle's authenticity and willingness to share both the triumphs and the fears makes her story relatable—and that's where true impact lies.-Time Codes:00:00 "Fighter Pilot's Fear Flipping Lessons"04:20 Inspiring Young Aviators: A Journey08:21 Female Mentorship in Military Aviation12:36 Silencing the Inner Critic16:02 Pilot Stress and Arousal Levels19:43 Nostalgia Amid Digital Overload21:39 Weekly Debrief for Improvement26:26 First Flight Experience28:08 "Daytona Beach Flyover Query"31:54 F16 Training Anticipation33:48 From Intimidation to Friendship39:48 "Editing a Manuscript Journey"42:04 Humbling Moments Amid Accomplishments45:06 "Start Before You're Ready"50:08 "Persistence Pays: Bold Follow-Up"51:00 "Appreciation and Recording End"Connect with Passing The Torch: Facebook and IG: @torchmartin More Amazing Stories: Episode 41: Lee Ellis – Freeing You From Bond That Make You InsecureEpisode 49: Ryan Hawk – Crafting a Legacy of LeadershipEpisode 52: Riley Tejcek – Mission of Empowerment and Endurance

Jamie Moreno is on a mission to empower girls and women to get involved in motorsports and to follow their dreams regardless of age, race or gender.A Latina woman, Jamie grew up with a passion for cars after spending hours with her dad as a child in the garage working on cars but didn't start racing until she was 25.However, she didn't start racing until she was 25 because - despite a love of cars - she didn't realise it was an avenue that was open to her (sadly, another example of the effect of  ‘you can't be what you can't see').In this conversation, we discuss:* her childhood, the time she spent hanging out with her dad in the garage working with cars,* one of her favourite memories from childhood that involves wanting to go fast on a ride at Disneyland (but being stuck being a slow older man!),* the pressures of growing up in a Latino family and the expectation to conform,* her experience as a woman, and a woman of colour, in such a male-dominated sport,* why it's so important to her that she is a role model for young girls to help and inspire them to chase their goals regardless of the age or gender,* how she regained her confidence after it was shattered after a particularly bad crash, and* the 4 lessons she's learnt from racing and how those lessons are equally relevant in endurance sports.

In this engaging conversation, Dan and Kyle explore the concept of role models, particularly in the context of parenting. They discuss their personal experiences with role models, the importance of self-reflection, and the impact of their actions on their children. The dialogue emphasizes the need for honesty, the challenges of high expectations, and the significance of leading by example. They also touch on the complexities of parenting styles and the necessity of instilling values in children while navigating modern societal influences. Takeaways: A role model is someone who is purposefully aware of their impact on others. Role models can be found in various aspects of life, not just in famous figures. Self-reflection is crucial in understanding how we influence our children. Parenting requires a balance of authority and love. It's important to communicate values to children consistently. Children are always observing their parents' behavior. Honesty in parenting helps build trust and understanding. The way we handle stress can affect our children's behavior. Repairing relationships with children after mistakes is essential. Leading by example is one of the most powerful tools in parenting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
