Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From March 2026. Today's 2 topics: - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.   - Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

George Brett spent 21 years with the Kansas City Royals and never played a single game for anyone else — which in today's era of free agency feels almost quaint. He's the only player in baseball history to win batting titles in three different decades ('76, '80, '90), hit .390 in 1980 — the closest anyone has come to .400 since Ted Williams — and finished with 3,154 career hits before a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction in 1999. Oh, and he led the Royals to their only World Series title in 1985. Not bad for a kid from Hermosa Beach, California. Of course, if you ask most casual fans what they remember, there's a decent chance they skip the batting titles and go straight to the Pine Tar Incident of 1983 — Brett homers off Goose Gossage, the umpire calls him out, and he comes flying out of the dugout in what remains one of the greatest displays of barely-contained human rage in sports history. Frank White had warned him it might be coming, and Brett told him "if they call me out, I'll kill one of those SOB's." Less than a second later he was being physically restrained from doing exactly that to 6'5 home plate umpire Tim McClelland. Back in June of 1976, though, Brett was just 23 years old on the cover of Sports Illustrated, already flashing the talent and competitiveness that would define his career — and Kansas City was clearly building something worth watching. On Past Our Prime, Brett takes us inside all of it — how his brother Ken made him believe a big league career was possible, how rivals like Schmidt, Reggie, and Goose became close friends after years of battles including a bench-clearing brawl with another pal, Graig Nettles of the Yankees, in the '77 ALCS, and why he's called Kansas City home ever since the Royals drafted him in 1971. A Hall of Famer in every sense — George Brett on the Past Our Prime podcast. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

First-term Kansas state Sen. Patrick Schmidt said the issues facing residents are greater than what can be addressed at the state level. Calling himself the “door-knockingest candidate in the race,” Schmidt is competing in the crowded Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.

This week, we're diving headfirst into a tidal wave of fresh trailers and blockbuster announcements. First up, we break down the long-awaited second trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day—what does it mean for Peter Parker's future, and what will this street level Spider-Man film bring? Then, we unpack the haunting first look at The Social Reckoning, a film that promises to hold the digital age accountable. From the deep blue sea to the darkest desires, we also explore the trailers for Whalefall (think survival horror meets oceanic chills after being swallowed by a sperm whale) and I Want Your Sex (the provocative new comedic erotic thriller everyone's talking about out of Sundance). Plus, Heart of the Beast brings the action plus Brad Pitt with a dog , and we've got the details on that explosive new trailer. But that's not all. In a move that has comedy fans buzzing, we confirm that 24 Jump Street is officially in the works—yes, Schmidt and Jenko will  be back! Plus, we discuss Sean Penn's ambitious new project: a movie centered on the Capitol Riots and other industry news! Joining us for this discussion is Dustin Rybka, soon to be co-host on our spin-off, The Cinema Vault, and JC of @mercwiththemovies! We've got theories, hot takes, and a full breakdown of everything you need to know. Grab your popcorn and hit play—this episode is stacked!

Welcome to The Dawn Stensland Show. We open with a heavy heart for the family of Billy Schmidt Jr., the 22-year-old Penn State senior whose life was senselessly taken just steps from his South Philly home. Anthony Giordano, co-founder of Stand Up South Philly and Take Our Streets Back, joins the show to discuss the massive community vigil and the growing public frustration with rising local crime. We press city leadership on the blatant hypocrisy of a new local law that restricts law enforcement from wearing masks while violent criminals roam our streets completely covered in 92-degree weather. We shift our focus to the global stage as President Trump meets with world leaders at the G7 summit in Evian, France. Dawn details the massive economic implications of securing an initial 60-day ceasefire agreement with Iran and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Vice President JD Vance breaks down the fine print of the deal on his media tour, confirming that the United States is firmly in the driver's seat of global energy history without spending a single cent of American taxpayer money. Later, bestselling author and investigative journalist David Zweig stops by to review the devastating residual effects of extended public and private school closures. We analyze the stark differences in lower test scores across the country, exposing how lockdown policies severely harmed children from underprivileged backgrounds. Finally, we catch a glimpse of JD Vance's fiery appearance on The View as he corrects Whoopi Goldberg on historical exhibits and addresses economic affordability, before checking in with Dom Giordano to confront Mount Holly's shocking decision to cancel their July 4th celebrations.

Nouvel épisode d'« Artisans du son », cette fois-ci avec une véritable artisane du son : Bénédicte Schmidt.Nous n'avons pas souvent travaillé ensemble, mais j'appréciais me rendre au Labomatic, rue de Washington à Paris, pour y voir des amis enregistrer ou pour aller y graver quelques notes de guitare ou de basse, notamment pour le dernier album en date de Doriand, qu'elle a enregistré avec nous.Bénédicte aime ce qu'elle fait, ça se sent, et elle essaie d'amener les projets sur lesquels elle travaille le plus loin possible, aux côtés d'artistes comme Camille, Chloé Antoniotti, Yoa, Françoise Hardy ou encore Stephan Eicher… Son but est de sculpter le son, que ce soit en studio ou à l'extérieur, pour des podcasts, ou lors d'enregistrements dans des églises ou des auditoriums…Dans cet épisode, nous allons parler de studio, d'enregistrement de guitare acoustique — en faisant ridiculement saturer mon micro de podcast —, de lumière du jour et de plein d'autres sujets de qualité !Bonne écoute !

Nach über sechs Jahren markiert die heutige Podcast-Folge zweierlei: einen Abschied – und einen Anfang. Karl Matthäus Schmidt, der dieses Format aus der Taufe gehoben hat, übergibt den Staffelstab an gleich drei Nachfolger. Warum, weshalb und was das für die Hörerinnen und Hörer bedeutet, darüber sprechen wir dieses Mal – und über die Themen, die ihn über all die Jahre am meisten beschäftigt haben. Karl und seine Nachfolger beantworten folgende Fragen: Was steckt hinter der Staffelstab-Übergabe bei „klug anlegen“ und wie geht es weiter? (01:20) Warum gleich drei Nachfolger? (02:18) Wie schwer fällt Karl Matthäus Schmidt der Abschied? (03:43) Was sind die wichtigsten Botschaften von „klug anlegen“ der letzten Jahre? (04:31) Was hat Karl Matthäus Schmidt gelernt in den 6 Jahren – über die Märkte, über die Zuhörer und über sich selbst? (06:20) Welche Projekte stehen bei Karl Matthäus Schmidt derzeit im Fokus? (08:15) Wer sind die drei Nachfolger? (11:40) Was bedeutet das neue Setting für die Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer? (14:46) Was ist für die erste „neue“ Folge geplant? (18:05) Gut zu wissen: Nach über 6 Jahren und 265 Folgen übergibt Karl Matthäus Schmidt die Podcast-Regie an drei Nachfolger. „klug anlegen“ wird damit noch abwechslungsreicher. Der 14-Tages-Rhythmus bleibt erhalten. „klug anlegen“ erscheint künftig auch im Video-Format. Zu den wichtigsten Botschaften aus 6 Jahren „klug anlegen“ zählt: Wer grundsätzlich in Aktien investieren will, sollte nicht auf den vermeintlich perfekten Einstiegszeitpunkt warten – das kostet letztlich meist Rendite. Ebenso wichtig: nicht verrückt machen lassen von den Medien und am besten keine Einzelaktien – ETFs sind viel vorteilhafter. Die letzten Börsenjahre sind ein besonders starker Beweis dafür, wie krisenresistent die Aktienmärkte sind. Die Quirin Privatbank wird künftig mit Ihren Kundinnen und Kunden noch intensiver über Lebens- und Anlageziele sprechen, vor allem mit Blick auf den Ruhestand. Auch die neue staatliche geförderte Altersvorsorge verdient höchste Aufmerksamkeit. Folgenempfehlung: Folge 262: Altersvorsorgedepot aktuell – wie der Staat kräftig beim Sparen hilft   (01:20) Was steckt hinter der Staffelstab-Übergabe bei „klug anlegen“ und wie geht es weiter?

Actor Peter Dinklage and playwright Erica Schmidt have been married for two decades, and even though they've collaborated on projects, it's rare for them to do an interview together. That's why we were so excited when they agreed to join Anna on stage at the Tribeca Festival to discuss how they balance privacy and family, why they wish interviewers would stop fixating on Game of Thrones, and how they met on a romantic evening when elephants walked through Manhattan. This episode was produced by Cameron Drews. Extra thanks to Alexandra Cohl and Katie Rayford, who helped with the live event, and Davy Gardner and Allyson Morgan, our talented friends at the Tribeca Festival.

We open this stretch by centering on our local community during a devastating season. Anthony Giordano joins the show to discuss the heavy cloud hanging over South Philly following the horrific, senseless gunning down of 22-year-old Penn State senior Billy Schmidt Jr. The crew shines a spotlight on the grassroots response, including a massive neighborhood vigil organized by Stand Up South Philly and Take Our Streets Back to demand accountability from city leadership. We dig into the infuriating reality of juveniles roaming our streets in full hoodies and surgical face coverings during 92-degree weather, pointing out the absolute lack of criticism from city officials regarding criminal use of masks even as strict laws target local enforcement agents. We also look at how this rising tide of violence continues to choke enrollment at institutions like Temple University, forcing families to flee to the suburbs. Switching gears to the national stage, Kayal and Company breaks down Donald Trump's confident posturing at the G7 summit in Evian, France, where world leaders are reacting to the historic 60-day ceasefire deal with Iran. We analyze JD Vance's media blitz defending the agreement against hyper-partisan news outlets that are actively recirculating IRGC talking points. The crew evaluates how the opening of the Strait of Hormuz effectively dismantles OPEC, paving a prosperous highway for Pennsylvania energy sectors. We also examine Vance's rapid political rise, his deep faith-centered book, and the endless speculation surrounding a potential 2028 presidential run while he prepares for a highly anticipated, high-stakes panel confrontation. Finally, we track the immediate, chaotic fallout from that media appearance on ABC. We react to the audio of JD Vance completely dismantling biased narratives pushed by Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, and Joy Behar. The discussion turns intensely local as we dissect Whoopi's incoherent rambling regarding a federal judge blocking Trump's order to revamp a worn-out slavery exhibit right here on Independence Mall. We cap off the morning reacting to Dom Giordano's fiery preview of local towns like Mount Holly completely surrendering to fear by canceling their historic July 4th festivities instead of implementing common-sense security.

Hour 2 of The Marc Cox Morning Show delivers wall to wall and doesn't let up for a second. Trump drops a bombshell — the U.S. has been secretly pulling millions of barrels of oil out of the region this whole time, and that's why your gas prices have been quietly dropping. Senator John Kennedy pumps the brakes and reminds the president what's really keeping American families up at night. The St. Louis Morning Brief unpacks the media's shameless attempt to rebrand an illegal Nicaraguan national as a "Collinsville man," exposes Francis Howell's $250,000 hiring disaster, and puts a $629 million price tag on the crumbling MLK Bridge with zero plan to pay for it. Tom Ackerman joins the show and the sports headlines are absolutely stacked — Senator Eric Schmidt's bloody-nose diving catch gets the full treatment, the Cardinals are scorching hot at six wins in a row, and the Knicks just pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. And In Other News — Caitlin Clark is getting her signature shoe, a drunk driver in Louisiana picked the wrong swamp to jump into, and a kid's six-year-old yearbook prediction about the Knicks may be about to come true. This is The Marc Cox Morning Show — where every hour is better than the last.

Sports anchor Tom Ackerman joins The Marc Cox Morning Show and the highlights are flying. Senator Eric Schmidt's face-first, blood-on-the-warning-track diving catch gets the full play-by-play treatment from a man who had Schmidt on his show the day before — and the story behind that glove will give you chills. The Cardinals are scorching hot, six wins in a row, and Tom makes the case they are absolutely for real. Then the New York Knicks did something last night that nobody in that building — or anywhere else — will ever forget, the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. Patrick Mahomes just got paid a number so staggering it'll make your jaw drop. And the World Cup, the Battle Hawks, and a three-year-old who might just be a soccer prodigy round out one of the most entertaining sports conversations of the year. Only on The Marc Cox Morning Show — where even the sports hits different.

How do distant galaxies form? If you have two distant clouds of hydrogen, why does one turn into a star and another doesn't? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Erika Hamden, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Arizona. If Erika looks familiar, that might be because her TED Talk or “New Frontiers,” the TV show she hosts on Arizona Public Media. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, Artemis II, our first manned mission around the moon since 1972. Chuck, Allen and Erika share their excitement watching the mission, and especially the landing, while we watch the “only good video of the moon ever taken with a phone” that Reid Wiseman shot on his iPhone. Dr. Hamden tells us about her research into how distant stars and galaxies form. To fill in the blanks of this cosmic puzzle, she observes hydrogen in its elemental or molecular form – not looking at the stars themselves, but the emissions from hydrogen atoms. You'll learn about star formation in our galaxy and how Erika discerns the moment that a new star “first turns on.” Then it's time for our first audience question. Emma B. asks, “How many galaxies are there?” Erika says that in the observable universe, it's an outrageously large number, probably hundreds of billions or more. We take a look at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image, which reflects a “tiny, tiny part of the sky,” where every dot except for the 3 stars is a galaxy. And that's just the universe we can see. Chuck asks Erika to tell us about her book, “Weird Universe: Everything We Don't Know about Space (and why it's important).” Professor Hamden shares her belief that anyone can understand anything if it's explained the right way to them. She talks about a poem by Rebecca Elson called “Responsibility to Awe” and the responsibility scientists have to share the wonders of the world with everybody. For our next audience question, Ava asks, “What is the craziest job in Astronomy that you have seen AI take over from humans?” Erika talks about using LLMs to review the digitized photographic plates of stars and the massive amount of data from the Vera Rubin Observatory, and also which activities still require human creativity. Speaking of creativity, it turns out that before becoming an astrophysicist, Erika got a diploma at Le Cordon Bleu in London and had a career as a professional chef. She still loves to cook and shares her recipe (below) for the Swedish-style cardamom buns she shows us in the episode. Finally, before we go, we congratulate Emily on recently being awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. She shares some wisdom and advice she's learned on her journey that she also tells her students, but according to her it's a bit “cheesy” so we'll let her tell you in the show. If you'd like to know more about Dr. Hamden, you can keep up with her research, follow her on her social media accounts, and find out about her book by visiting her website. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Erika's Cardamom Bun Recipe You can find the original recipe here on Cecilia Tolone's Substack. Erika's Modifications: “My changes are that I add more milk- about 75 grams more, because American flour is drier and Tucson is especially dry! And I played around with adding chiltipin flakes (a local, very spicy pepper) to the filling to make it kind of spicy. It's great! Finally, I use whole cardamom seeds from Penzey's that I grind before putting in.”   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Artemis II end of mission splashdown. – Credit: NASA/ Bill Ingalls.

A brave decision can still feel terrifying once the noise stops. If you've ever said yes to a big change then found yourself staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m., replaying every detail and wondering whether you made a mistake, you're not alone. I'm Amy Schmidt, and I'm sharing a very real chapter from my own life: we sold our family home, moved to Florida to build a more intentional “right-sized” season, and then almost immediately had to rework everything when my husband took an incredible opportunity that put him back in the Northeast Monday through Thursday.That shift turned our fresh start into something messier and more honest: four days a week alone in a new city, in a condo that still felt unfamiliar, with silence that sounded like a stranger. I talk about the kind of fear that isn't a single meltdown, but an accumulation of small moments, and how that fear can start to sound like truth if we don't slow down and look at it. Then I share the practice that helped me most: getting fear out of my body and onto paper, where it becomes sentences you can question instead of a fog that fills the room.You'll learn my simple framework, Signal, Story, and Choice: how to treat fear as a signal, how to spot the story your mind builds to explain it, and how to make a clear choice based on what you actually know. I also give you a 20-minute notebook assignment to separate present facts from future projections, reduce anxiety spirals, and build clarity during life transitions.

Early in my time as an Executive Pastor, we were about halfway through what felt like a defining campaign for our church. And I was frustrated. Every time we met with our campaign consultant, they showed up with a binder (this was back in the 1900s) and we would turn pages to whatever was next. Cookie-cutter strategy. No real interest in who we were or what God was doing in our community. We fired them halfway through. Cost us real money and time. A decade or so later, I was part of another campaign. Completely different experience. That consultant is still a friend today. We started as workmates and became something more because we drew swords together through the whole thing. Reflecting on those two experiences over the years, across three fast-growing churches (two of which grew from under 1,000 to 4,000 or 5,000 people) and through multiple campaigns of various sizes, one thing has become clear: what makes the difference isn’t the firm you hire. It’s what you and I bring to the table. That first campaign? I was looking to the consultant for too much. I hadn’t thought carefully enough about what we needed to bring. These firms are coaches. Coaches can only do so much when the athletes aren’t doing the reps. Here are 10 things your church must bring to the table in your next capital campaign, whether you call it a generosity initiative, a spiritual growth season, or a building program. 1. Clarity of Vision Before You Talk About Money Research consistently confirms what experienced fundraisers already know: people give to impact, not to organizational need. Penelope Burk’s Cygnus Applied Research donor surveys, conducted annually with up to 25,000 active U.S. donors, found that 67% of donors increasingly favor organizations that provide measurable results, and roughly half report they’re not giving at their full potential simply because they lack information about where the impact actually lands. [ref] Yale’s Center for Customer Insights confirmed in 2024 that aspirational, vision-driven framing significantly outperforms need-based asks in generating donor response. [ref] For churches, the translation is practical: “We need a new roof” raises less money than “We’re building a home for the next generation of faith in our city.” The question worth sitting with is whether the average person in your congregation can explain your vision in a single sentence, and whether that vision is genuinely bigger than the campaign itself. If your church is fuzzy on what God is uniquely calling you toward, you are not ready. The campaign is just the next step out of a clear vision. Without that clarity established first, the campaign will underperform regardless of the firm you bring in. 2. Leadership Alignment at the Top When campaigns underperform, the culprit is almost never the economy, the giving culture of your congregation, or the consultant. In my experience, it’s misalignment at the senior leadership level, and the research on this is hard to argue with. Prosci’s Best Practices in Change Management research, now in its 12th edition and spanning 25 years across more than 10,800 professionals globally, has found that active and visible executive sponsorship is the single #1 contributor to initiative success in every benchmarking study since 1998. Campaigns with effective senior sponsors succeed 79% of the time; those without that alignment drop to 27%. [ref] McKinsey’s global survey data found that transformations are 12.4 times more likely to succeed when senior leaders communicate continually, and 47% of executives who had been through a major transformation wished they had spent more time aligning their top team before the launch. [ref] Your campaign consultant cannot create unity. That work belongs to you. Senior leadership team members and elders who are privately skeptical before the campaign goes public will erode trust once the pressure arrives, and the pressure always arrives. Getting that alignment sorted before you move is one of the most important things you can do, and it’s entirely on your shoulders. 3. A Willingness to Actually Do the Work Here’s something worth saying plainly: most capital campaign firms follow a nearly identical strategy. There’s a leadership phase, a core donor phase, a volunteer phase, a public phase, a pledge weekend, and follow-up. You could ask an AI to outline any firm’s likely approach and have a reasonable answer in about 10 minutes. The strategy isn’t what separates campaigns that transform churches from campaigns that disappoint them. Execution is. McKinsey’s global transformation data tells a similar story: only 26% of major organizational transformations actually succeed. [ref] Think about it like my Peloton. The instructor can give me a plan, show me the gauges, compare my output to other riders, and tell me exactly what to do. She cannot make me get on the bike and push hard. That part is entirely on me. A campaign running in parallel with normal ministry operations is essentially asking your team to do two full-time jobs simultaneously. Budget your team’s capacity honestly before you start, and make structural space for your people to actually execute the work the campaign requires. 4. A Culture of Repetition Behavioral science is consistent on this: people need to hear a message many times before it moves them to action. The old “rule of 7” from marketing turns out to be folklore with no traceable original source, and research suggests the real threshold is higher. Schmidt and Eisend’s 2015 meta-analysis in the Journal of Advertising found that peak attitude change happens at around 10 exposures. [ref] In a world of increasing distraction, that number is almost certainly climbing. At one church I was part of, I counted how many times the lead pastor repeated the core campaign message before the first public Sunday. The answer was 23. That’s not overkill. That’s how transformation actually works. Leaders get tired of the message long before the congregation does. Your congregation is always further behind than you think they are. The leaders who succeed in this season are the ones who lock in their messaging early and walk it out consistently, without flinching when it starts to feel repetitive to them personally. 5. Strong Engagement with Key Donors Before the Campaign Launches I don’t know your church, but I can predict with reasonable confidence that close to 50% of your church’s donations come from roughly 10% of your people. The AFP Fundraising Effectiveness Project, covering 12,000+ nonprofits and 6.7 million donors, found that just 3.1% of donors contributed 77.7% of all fundraising dollars in 2024. [ref] Industry benchmarks suggest 80 to 90% of a campaign goal comes from the top 10 to 20 gifts. The biggest checks come from the smallest rooms. If you have done little or no relational investment with your top-tier donors before you start thinking about a campaign, you are already behind. Early donor conversations are not about pressure; they are about invitation. These are your most generous people. Giving them the privilege of early connection, of being brought into what God is doing before the rest of the congregation hears about it, is not a fundraising tactic. It’s honoring a relationship. Start building that now, well before you need anything from them. 6. A Real Follow-Up Plan Here is something that can quietly sink a campaign before it ever goes public: pledges that never get followed up on. Well-managed capital campaigns actually have strong fulfillment rates. The follow-up process is what converts a signed pledge card into a fulfilled gift over time. Before you go public, map out your entire follow-up phase: regular donor communications, pledge reminders, giving statements, and a clear plan for when someone falls behind. One practical contract note worth flagging: make sure your agreement with your campaign consultant keeps them engaged through the follow-up phase, not just through Pledge Sunday. Campaigns that struggle with fulfillment almost always lose their way in exactly this stretch. 7. Financial and Operational Readiness Plan to spend somewhere in the range of 3 to 5% of your total campaign goal on the campaign itself, covering communications, events, materials, and video production. Most churches underbudget this category significantly. Running a campaign well requires real financial investment. The operational issue that almost took us down was different, though: our giving infrastructure wasn’t ready for a surge. In one campaign I was leading, I had a conversation with our finance team the morning of our public launch. “Are we ready?” I asked. “Yeah, yeah, we’re ready,” they said. I think part of them didn’t genuinely believe we’d see what we were hoping for. We were targeting over a million dollars in a single day. We hit it. And then our payment processor shut us down because we hadn’t prepared for a transaction volume that size. The friction in your systems is costing you generosity that’s already there, from people who were ready to give. Test your systems with your processor before launch day, and know your transaction limits before you run into them at the worst possible moment. 8. Emotional and Spiritual Resilience Leaders who have been through campaigns almost universally surface the same surprise: the internal relational strain was harder than they expected. When resources get focused on specific ministry areas, other leaders can feel overlooked or left out. Add the extra workload, the high stakes, and the spiritual opposition that tends to accompany anything of real Kingdom significance, and you have a reliable recipe for team fracture if you’re not paying attention. A campaign doesn’t create those pressures; it amplifies whatever is already present. Building in regular rhythms of prayer, celebration, and genuine rest throughout the entire season matters more than most leaders plan for. A friend of mine who recently finished a significant campaign took a real vacation between the core donor phase and the public phase. He went to Mexico and unplugged completely. Looking back, he said he doesn’t think he could have led the public phase well without it. That kind of intentional recovery isn’t optional; it’s what makes the second half of the campaign possible. 9. A Plan for the Dip Moments Many churches experience a drop in weekend attendance during a campaign season, and too many leaders take it personally or treat it as a sign that the campaign is going sideways. It’s predictable. Research on organizational transitions documents a well-established pattern: performance and engagement typically dip during major change before recovering and eventually surpassing prior levels. Researchers call this the Productivity J-Curve. [ref] When you’re in a big campaign, some people feel the weight of a vision Sunday and take a step back for a few weeks. Most of them come back. Some won’t. Rather than spiraling when the dip arrives, focus your energy on what comes after: a strong re-engagement plan for the weeks following your public ask. Also worth planning for financially: total operational giving can dip slightly during a campaign season, even in a one-fund model. Some operational giving temporarily redirects. It doesn’t always happen, but building a budget that accounts for it protects you from making reactive decisions mid-campaign based on a short-term fluctuation that was always predictable. 10. Full Ownership of the Outcome No consultant, regardless of how experienced or gifted, can deliver this for you. The churches that see campaigns change their trajectory are the ones whose leaders own the outcome completely. They don’t engage a firm and hand off the responsibility. They understand the consultant’s role clearly: someone who comes alongside to coach them through a process they are running themselves. Research on coaching outcomes gives this some weight. Olivero, Bane, and Kopelman found that training alone increased productivity by 22.4%, but training combined with coaching increased it by 88%, nearly four times the gain. [ref] The difference between those two numbers comes down to ownership and active application. Coaching works because the person being coached has to do the work themselves. You are not paying someone to run your campaign. You are paying someone to coach you while you run it. Feel that difference before you sign anything. The campaigns I’ve seen genuinely transform churches had one thing in common: the senior leader and the Executive Pastor were fully in. They treated the outcome as theirs. That posture, more than any strategy or any firm, is what makes the difference. One last thing before you start calling firms: walk through these 10 areas honestly with your senior leader and your key staff. Figure out where you’re strong and where you have real work to do before a consultant ever walks in the door. The campaigns that go well aren’t ones where the consultant was exceptional. They’re the ones where the church was ready.

Steve Schmidt returns to the Daily Beast Podcast with a blistering warning about Donald Trump's unraveling grip on power, the Republican Party's “Shakespearean” collapse into cowardice, and why he believes MAGA is heading toward a political wipeout. In a conversation that ricochets from the Epstein files to the future of American democracy, Schmidt tears into GOP leaders he says have “lashed themselves to the mast,” predicts a brutal reckoning in 2028, and unleashes a stunning critique of John Fetterman, calling the Pennsylvania senator unfit for office after his stroke and accusing Fox News of psychologically manipulating him in public. Schmidt also paints a deeply alarming picture of America's standing abroad, arguing the U.S. is already losing a hidden war with Iran while Trump drifts toward another dangerous foreign adventure in Cuba, all as gas prices soar and public frustration boils over. Schmidt then turns his fire on Jeff Bezos and the billionaire class he says chose submission over resistance, framing this political era not just as a fight over power, but as a historic test of national character that future generations will study with disbelief.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – In an attempt to motivate the graduating class of 2026, Schmidt told them they have the power to shape how AI develops, a claim which was also met by laughter and boos. When Schmidt realized he was losing the students over their trepidation about AI, he resorted to buzzwords such as “diversity” and “immigrant.” But the students were not buying what he...

Iran's Bloodred Lines Clay Travis and Buck Sexton focus on inflation, energy prices, and cost-of-living concerns, which they identify as the dominant political issue heading into the midterm elections. Rising gas prices are tied directly to broader economic anxiety among voters, with the hosts arguing that energy costs are driving inflation trends even as other economic indicators—such as wage growth, unemployment levels, and stock market performance—remain relatively strong. They emphasize that controlling fuel prices will be critical to shaping voter sentiment, making inflation, gas prices, and economic affordability central SEO themes for this hour. Foreign policy also plays a major role, particularly the escalating Iran crisis and stalled nuclear negotiations. Buck highlights skepticism about any imminent deal, noting Iran’s reportedly aggressive demands, including sanctions relief and geopolitical concessions. The discussion explores the possibility of military escalation, oil supply disruptions, and the impact on global energy markets, connecting international tensions directly to domestic economic consequences. The hosts argue that the trajectory of the Iran conflict could significantly influence both gas prices and political outcomes in the United States. Dangerous Empathy Clay and Buck analyze the race as a broader referendum on urban governance, crime policy, homelessness, and quality-of-life issues. They highlight criticism of current leadership, including Mayor Karen Bass, and discuss challenger Spencer Pratt as a candidate positioning himself around themes of public safety, urban decline, and anti-establishment messaging. The hosts argue that rising crime—illustrated by incidents such as stabbings in high-profile areas—reflects the consequences of policies they describe as “soft on crime” and driven by progressive ideology. They frame the LA mayoral contest as a bellwether for broader national debates about crime, policing, and urban policy reform. A major segment of Hour 2 focuses on criminal justice policy and public safety, with the hosts criticizing decisions not to prosecute repeat offenders and arguing that such policies lead to continued violence. They cite examples of repeat offenders committing serious crimes after prior leniency, framing this as evidence that declining enforcement and prosecutorial discretion contribute to rising crime risks. The discussion centers on the contrast between what they describe as “empathy for criminals” versus “protection of victims,” positioning this as a core dividing line between political parties on criminal justice reform. Racist Redistricting Clay and Buck discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision effectively limiting racial gerrymandering, sparking a heated debate about voting rights, redistricting law, and election integrity. Clay critiques media reactions, particularly from CNN commentators, who argue that these changes harm minority representation. The hosts counter that political representation should not be determined by race, citing examples of elected officials winning across racial lines as evidence of evolving voter dynamics. This segment emphasizes major SEO themes such as Supreme Court redistricting ruling, racial gerrymandering debate, voting rights policy, and election law reform, positioning the issue as a pivotal legal and political battleground ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The hour also explores political rhetoric and media narratives, with Clay and Buck analyzing statements comparing modern America to the Jim Crow era. They argue that such claims reflect broader tensions in identity politics, partisan messaging, and media framing of race issues, while highlighting examples of political success by candidates across demographic lines as counterpoints to those claims. This discussion ties into a broader critique of media bias and political discourse, underscoring how narratives are shaped and contested in today’s environment. Soft Republicans An in-depth interview with Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt, who provides insight into Republican strategy for maintaining control of the Senate and competing in House races. Schmidt emphasizes contrasts between the Trump administration and the Biden era, particularly on border security, economic growth, and wage trends, while acknowledging that economic recovery is still ongoing. He also discusses key legislative priorities such as the SAVE Act (election integrity), immigration enforcement funding, and redistricting battles, highlighting how legal and political fights over congressional maps could shape upcoming elections. Redistricting and election law emerge as another major theme, particularly following recent court rulings limiting racial gerrymandering. Schmidt argues that these decisions could reshape political competition in states like California and Illinois, leading to a broader conversation about judicial influence, voting rights policy, and partisan power dynamics. The hosts and Schmidt also warn that Democrats could pursue structural changes such as eliminating the Senate filibuster, expanding the Supreme Court, or adding new states, framing these possibilities as high-stakes consequences of future electoral outcomes. They also talk about college sports policy and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) reform, as Schmidt outlines ongoing efforts to create federal standards for college athletics. He emphasizes the need for antitrust protections and revenue-sharing frameworks to stabilize the system and preserve non-revenue sports, connecting this issue to broader debates about governance, economics, and institutional reform.
