Ready for real support, real structure, and real momentum? Scholarship applications for DEFENSE Foundations are open now ahead of our April 1 start. If you know you need more than willpower and want to stop doing this alone, complete your application today. In this episode, I'm talking about the power of running with a pack, not just having people around you, but having the right people around you. People who won't let you spiral. People who won't co-sign your excuses. People who won't help you stay stuck. One of the greatest gifts in my life is having people who help me protect my standards when I'm tired, emotional, discouraged, or tempted to slip into old patterns. That's true in marriage, motherhood, business, and health. And the truth is, most of us have been sold a lie about independence. We've been taught that doing it alone is strong. That needing help is weakness. That we should be able to figure it out ourselves. But isolation is expensive. In this episode, I talk about why the right kind of support changes everything, what it really means to "run with a pack," and why so many people stay stuck simply because they are trying to carry alone what was never meant to be carried alone.

In this episode, Dr. Matthew Bowen discusses his recent article in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, where he analyzes Mormon's wordplay in what are commonly called the war chapters in Alma. Dr. Bowen builds on his previous work, connecting Nephi's name with the Egyptian word nefer, meaning “good,” showing how the Book of Mormon authors will often associate Nephite or Nephi with ideas that are positive and pleasing to God. In this article, Dr. Bowen contrasts that with names coming from the Hebrew root mlk, which refers to kingship or rulership. In the podcast, Bowen discusses how this can indicate oppressive behavior that is displeasing to God. Mormon uses this wordplay in Alma to illustrate how the Lord wants individuals to focus on the true king, Jesus Christ, who brings everything good. The post Conversations with Interpreter: Matt Bowen and “Inspired by a Better Cause” first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that are happening around campus. Dr. Ford shares news about the long-awaited renovations to Seth Pounds Auditorium, which officially began during Spring Break as crews fenced off and marked the area for construction. One of the college's first buildings, Seth Pounds is being transformed into one of the top auditoriums in the region, with an expanded stage designed to accommodate an orchestra and will host cultural events for both the college and the community. Ford also discusses new developments at the Northeast at Corinth campus, including facility expansions that will support the Alcorn County School District with concurrent enrollment opportunities and the creation of an Aerospace Technician lab in partnership with Northrop Grumman. Additional Booneville campus improvements include updated entrance signage to better guide students and visitors while reinforcing the college's community presence. Recreational enhancements are also underway, as the college adds pickleball and volleyball lines to the tennis courts beside the Haney Union, giving students more options for on-campus activities. One of the most impactful projects, according to Ford, is the buildout of the Career Technical Building in the former Corinthian building off Highway 4 -- a development that will significantly expand health science programs, boost enrollment, and provide more space for career-technical training to help prepare local workers for tomorrow's jobs.

In this conversation, host Julie DeNofa sits down with Kathy Posey, Paige Butler, and Kim Robbins, three inspiring women serving on the Montgomery County Overdose Prevention Endeavor Board (M-COPE) Kathy and Kim, Co-Founders of M-COPE, share their personal stories of losing a child to addiction and how, after four moms met through the GRASP grief group ( Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) after losing their children to accidental overdose, they realized the need for spreading awareness around the disease of addiction.  Paige also shares her journey through a different perspective of loving a child who is now in recovery from substance use disorder. With their stories, Kathy, Paige, and Kim are now turning their pain into purpose in helping other families heal.  The mission at M-COPE is to collaborate with individuals, communities, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about substance use disorder and the alarming rise in overdose and drug-related deaths in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Their efforts are grounded in four key pillars: education, awareness, prevention, and remembrance.   Through this approach, they shine a light on the growing drug crisis, work to end the stigma surrounding substance use, and advocate for those currently in need of support as well as for those who can no longer speak for themselves.  Topics Discussed: Advice for parents and families learning to navigate grief after overdose loss The importance of remembering loved ones beyond their addiction Recognizing that everyone grieves differently and giving others more grace Understanding emotional triggers and grief waves after loss Why volunteer-driven organizations play a critical role in community recovery How overdose awareness and prevention efforts are helping communities — CHAPTERS:  00:00 Purpose From Pain - Introduction to MCOPE 03:33 Meet Kathy Posey, Kim Robbins, and Paige Bulter 08:04 What M-Cope is and the Four Pillars: Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Rememberance 11:06 Volunteering, Community Partners, and Supporting Newly Bereaved 15:39 Grief Advice For Families: Connection, Caregiving, Healing, and Support  23:10 Recognizing Grief Waves and Triggers and Finding Joy Again 28:47 Honoring Loved Ones Who Lost Their Lives to Addiction 30:39 The Hope of Recovery  33:52 M-COPE Outreach through Blessing Bags, Narcan Outreach, Scholarships And Community Impact 39:11 Recovery Community Resources — Connect with M-Cope online:  Website: https://mcope.org/  Scholarship: https://mcope.org/scholarship/  Volunteer Opportunities: https://mcope.org/support/#volunteer  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mocope/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=SDyLMs2NFChqDsne&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fg%2F1DCtwm4WSp%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

Highlights from the Rabi Nimrod Simono Scholarship Awards include interviews with top achievers who share their inspirations, dreams, and visions for the future. They discuss their goals, achievements, and how they hope to use their education and talents to contribute to the Assyrian community and to Australia's broader society.

Most of us aren't failing because we don't "know what to do." We're stuck because we've trained ourselves that our commitments are flexible. We say we'll start tomorrow… then negotiate. We draw a line… then erase it. We set a deadline… then move it. This episode is about the simple shift that rebuilds self-trust fast: fewer lines, but stronger lines. Not more rules. Not more pressure. Just one clear line you'll actually hold—and the credibility that comes from keeping your word. ✅ Ready to build your defense (April 1 group)? If you're done negotiating and you want structure, accountability, and a plan that actually holds up in real life, join the Defense Foundations month-long group starting April 1. Apply for the scholarship Or enroll directly In this episode, we cover: The parenting "empty threat" dynamic and how we do the same thing to ourselves Why trying to "hold the line" on everything makes you overwhelmed and more likely to quit How broken commitments quietly destroy self-trust (and how to reverse it) The strategy: fewer lines, stronger lines so you stop living in constant negotiation How to choose one line that's small enough to keep, but meaningful enough to matter The core idea: When you try to fix everything, you end up fixing nothing. But when you choose one line and actually hold it, you start becoming believable to yourself again. Self-trust isn't built through intensity. It's built through integrity: kept promises, repeated.

“In every generation a person must see himself as if he himself came out of Egypt.” Mishna Pesachim 10:5 Now, Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman's new work, The Echoes of Egypt Haggada (Koren, 2026), does just that. By incorporating the latest discoveries from archaeology, Near Eastern studies, Egyptology and more to connect the ancient world with modern scholarship, Berman's Haggada helps this generation re-experience the exodus out of Egypt more deeply. Echoes of Egypt is a visually sumptuous journey that helps us grasp what our ancestors saw, felt, and resisted – and invites us to see ourselves in their story anew. Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman is a professor of Tanakh at Bar-Ilan University. A graduate of Princeton University and of Yeshivat Har Etzion, Rabbi Berman is the author of several books including Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth and the Thirteen Principles of Faith (Maggid 202), Created Equal: How the Bible Broke with Ancient Political Thought (Oxford, 2008), which was a National Jewish Book Award Finalist in Scholarship, and The Temple: Its Symbolism and Meaning Then and Now(Jason Aronson, 1995).

I recently spoke with Jennifer Gershberg, a campus and keynote speaker and former University of Maryland professor. Through her campus programs, keynotes, trainings, and online courses, she helps prospective and current college students build confidence and competence by teaching them the fundamental skills they need for academic and professional success. While on the faculty at the University of Maryland, Jennifer won numerous teaching awards, including the highly coveted Allen J. Krowe Award for Teaching Excellence. She has been a featured guest on multiple podcasts, including Real Housewives of New Jersey Margaret Josephs' “Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget.” Jennifer attended Cornell University and the George Washington University Law School. ​Jennifer's speaking career is a product of her deep concern for and commitment to student wellbeing. As a professor, she observed a continuous decline in student competencies and mental health following the pandemic and felt compelled to broaden her impact, leading her to this work. Jennifer is known for her natural ease and connection with students, relatability, genuine investment in student success, and being “nurturing but tough -- exactly what students need.” (source: a student) In our conversation, we discussed: How students build confidence and reduce anxiety Some of the academic challenges she noticed college students commonly face Advice for students who need to ask for letters of recommendation Advice for parents to help their children launch into college successfully To connect with Jennifer, go to jgtalks.org.

Apply for a Scholarship for Defense Foundations (starts April 1) First come, first served. Or, join here without a scholarship application. If you keep making plans you believe in, and then watching yourself not follow through, it's probably not the plan. It's the moment the plan leaks. Most people keep trying to fix the leak with a new plan, a new start date, or more motivation. But if you don't identify your core pattern, you'll drag it into every goal you ever set. In this episode, I break down what I call permission slips. These are the internal sentences that make it "reasonable" to abandon the standard. They're rarely dramatic. They're usually familiar. The five major permission slips we cover: Procrastination Compensation Justification Resignation Dismissal (often disguised as practicality) This isn't about shame. It's about accuracy. When you stop treating it like a personality flaw and start treating it like a predictable access point, everything changes.

Catherine Chinatree is a socially engaged multi-disciplinary artist based in Margate. She works in various contexts, including in the public realm. Her work focuses on the idea of shared “reality,” with an emphasis on identity, dualism, and cultural fluidity. This exploration is supported by research in anthropology, social surrealism, and human behaviour. Being of Welsh, Caribbean and Irish descent, she is deeply rooted in hybrid culture and seeks inspiration from the outside world of everyday life, our daily activities, symbolism, rituals, and the people she meets.Chinatree's recent series of works invites the viewers on a visual journey through the realms of personal and subcultures exploring ideas of youth, class, memory and nostalgia, it highlights optimism & transformative moments that can alter society. Chinatree aims to evoke a palette that reflects the bass-heavy underground movement, artificial lighting and a sense of the unknown going hand in hand with the uncertainty of teenage years. At that time, pioneers of a new music genre looked to the future, with nods to outer space, and ideas of otherworldly beings, all of which are reflected in this work. The Crystallisation of the urban experience is layered and sampled, reconnecting it with the present. Working-class youth - black, brown and white united to dance is a testament to sound system culture and the creation of a new reality reflecting urban Britain, black roots & experimental sounds. With close ties to Leicester, Chinatree's hometown, the work is supported by research and recordings from original attendees, event organisers, the venue's history and future plans. Blending new footage, lived experiences and digital memories. Described by many as one of the darkest raves attended “Some shadow demon business”, the work illuminates its legacy. Catherine Chinatree studied at Wimbledon College of Arts, graduating with a Masters in Fine Art. She was awarded the Ferdynand Zweig Arts travel Scholarship award, and set up a collaborative engagement project between the UK and Havana, Cuba. She has been shortlisted for the Mercury Music Arts Prize, Nasty Woman NYC and The Griffin x Elephant New Graduates Arts Prize. She completed an artist residency with Elephant Magazine and has been sponsored by Liquitex Paints. She was commissioned by Artquest for their 20th anniversary, which was subsequently displayed at UAL in Holborn, London. Recently she was commissioned by Artist Globe for The World Reimagined project, which is on permanent show at the World Museum in Liverpool. She created a mural for Rise Up Residency Mural in Margate and as part of the Commemorative Installation Campaign, created a Tapestry for the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin yesterday presented 25 students from underrepresented backgrounds with scholarships to study a range of STEM courses, such as AI and cybersecurity, as part of the second phase of the Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics Scholarship Programme, supported by Google.org and coordinated by Dublin City University (DCU). The event took place in The Foundry, Google Ireland, Barrow St, Dublin 4. Students who received scholarships include members of the Traveller community, students who have been in the care of the state, students with disabilities and refugee students. The Insight Scholarship Programme, supported by Google.org, is the largest scholarship programme of its kind in Ireland. With a funding package of €1.5 million over five years, two cohorts of undergraduate students will receive scholarships to study in one of 230 STEM courses across 12 Irish universities. Forty-two students entered the programme in the first cohort in 2024. A further 25 will be presented with certificates by the Taoiseach at today's event. Scholars will be awarded €5,000 per year, up to a maximum duration of five years. Last year's scholars are now studying STEM courses, with dedicated mentoring support, across 12 Irish universities. Insight scholars come from a wide range of backgrounds, including the Traveller and Roma community, those who have experienced homelessness, students with disabilities, students who have been in State care, refugees and lone parents. Additionally, 60% of the scholars are women pursuing STEM degrees—more than double the national average, where women represent only 33% of STEM students in Irish universities. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: 'Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to build a fairer, more inclusive Ireland. These scholarships represent far more than financial support; they are an investment in talent, ambition and potential that exists in every community across our country. By widening access to AI, cybersecurity and other STEM disciplines, we are ensuring that the opportunities of the digital age are open to all, not just a few. I want to congratulate each of today's scholars on their wonderful achievement. I also commend Insight, DCU and Google for their leadership in creating the largest scholarship fund of its kind in Ireland. Together, we are strengthening Ireland's future as a global leader in innovation while ensuring that no one is left behind.' Professor Noel O'Connor, Insight CEO, said: 'We are so proud of the 42 Insight scholars now thriving in their STEM studies across the country. These smart, ambitious students are the best expression of Insight's vision: to empower critically aware, creative communities and create a better society for all. This initiative has shown us not only what is possible, but also how urgently programmes like this are needed to drive equity, diversity and inclusion and ultimately to strengthen Ireland's and Europe's future in AI. We warmly welcome the new cohort of Insight scholars joining us today and wish them and their mentors every success.' Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland Google said: 'Google is proud to support the Insight Scholarship Programme, representing a €1.5 million contribution to Ireland's future tech talent pipeline. By focusing on AI and digital safety, this scholarship directly addresses the growing need to ensure equitable access to these essential skills, driving a stronger and more diverse foundation for Ireland's economy.' Programme Coordinator Megan Griffin said: 'This programme is designed to support students from underserved communities that have long experienced limited access to opportunity, recognising that the barriers they face extend beyond financial disadvantage. Many of our students come from areas with historically low progression rates to higher education, with some disadvantaged communities seeing only 15% of students entering university compared to over 80% in more affluent area...

Behind every healed heart is a story of radical forgiveness and God's redeeming love. This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, the guys sit down with John Smithbaker, founder of Fathers in the Field Ministry—a powerful outreach that pairs godly men with fatherless boys to introduce them to their Heavenly Father and guide them toward healing. John vulnerably shares his own transformative journey: growing up abandoned by his earthly father, wrestling with deep wounds, coming to Christ, and ultimately choosing forgiveness—which set him free and sparked the vision for Fathers in the Field. He now equips men to walk through the same process of forgiveness, releasing bitterness and stepping into the fullness God intends. If you've been hurt by an absent or broken father figure, struggle with unforgiveness, or want to help others find freedom, this raw and redemptive conversation is for you. It's a reminder that no wound is beyond God's healing grace. Listen or watch the full episode this Thursday—wherever you subscribe, or on YouTube!

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what people often assume about community colleges and what President Ford wishes more people understood — that the quality of education at Northeast rivals, and often exceeds, that of a four-year university. Ford breaks down the rigorous standards required of Northeast instructors, noting that every faculty member holds at least a master's degree or higher in their field. The veteran educator shares how Northeast isn't simply a stepping stone, but a launching pad — whether students are preparing to transfer to a four-year university, land their dream job, or sharpen their workforce skills. Ford also highlights the value and affordability of a community college education, emphasizing that Northeast students receive strong academic support, graduate with less debt, and leave with the confidence to succeed. Listeners will hear how Northeast's smaller class sizes — often a 1-to-20 or 1-to-25 ratio — foster personalized instruction and how instructors take a genuine interest in helping students thrive both academically and personally. Ford discusses the extensive support system available to students and employees alike, noting that Northeast is the only community college in Mississippi with a Director of Employee Development. Beyond academics, Ford explains how students can take advantage of numerous extracurricular opportunities designed to build leadership and community engagement. He also touches on Northeast's statewide articulation agreements that simplify the transfer process to four-year colleges and universities. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Let's not carry the same struggle, the same frustration, and the same "I'll start tomorrow" approach for another month. Another year. Another decade. Something has to change, and it's not going to be another tip or another burst of motivation. We have to get inside the faulty wiring, call it what it is in the moment, and build the skill of responding differently. I'd love to get to know you and where you're at, and honestly assess whether Defense Foundations makes sense for you or not. If you want to explore it, you can apply to see if you qualify for a scholarship into Defense Foundations, which starts April 1st. Scholarships are 1st come, 1st served so get your application in now! Apply at this link. It takes less than 10 minutes to apply.  Most of the time, you're not making a "bad choice." You're making a choice based on bad math. In the moment, your brain inflates the reward. It shrinks the consequence. And it quietly convinces you that "this won't matter." But it does. Because the cost you pay isn't just calories, money, or time. It's momentum. It's peace. It's self-trust. It's how hard tomorrow feels. It's the pattern you're training. In this episode, we're naming the distortion for what it is: moment's math. If you've ever hit snooze and told yourself it's "just five minutes"… If you've ever scrolled to "take a break" and lost an hour… If you've ever said "I'll start tomorrow" like tomorrow is guaranteed… If you've ever reached for relief and then wondered why you feel worse… This is why. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the reward feels bigger in the moment than it actually is Why the consequences feel smaller in the moment than they actually are The two questions that collapse the distortion in real time The hidden cost most people never count: what your choice is training in you How to right-size the reward and right-size the consequence without shame, drama, or perfectionism Try this today (seriously, today): When you feel pulled toward the immediate choice, ask: 1) What is my brain promising me right now? (relief, rest, escape, comfort, a break) 2) What is this actually going to cost me today… and what will it train in me? Not tomorrow. Not next year. Today. Because the cost isn't just what happens after the choice. It's what happens to you when the choice becomes a pattern. If this episode hit you in the gut, and you're thinking, "I get it… but I still do it," that's exactly what my work is for. The goal isn't to be perfect. The goal is to stop trusting the moment's math. Something has to change, and it's not going to be another tip or another burst of motivation. We have to get inside the faulty wiring, call it what it is in the moment, and build the skill of responding differently. I'd love to get to know you and where you're at, and honestly assess whether Defense Foundations makes sense for you or not. If you want to explore it, you can apply to see if you qualify for a scholarship into Defense Foundations, which starts April 1st.

Lawmakers debate a federal scholarship tax credit initiative, a bill punishing suppliers of abortion-inducing pills is filed in Frankfort, what are Glock switches and why do some Kentucky police chiefs oppose them, some Democrats say they're skipping President Trump's State of the Union address, and Thunder Over Louisville is returning to the Derby city.

A bill allowing for tax credit scholarships to public and private school students is headed to the Governor's desk, the DOJ sues Kentucky for refusing to turn over voter registration data, the FBI director visits Eastern Kentucky, and what the end of reformulated gas means for Louisville.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shelli-Ann McKenzie. Purpose of the Interview The interview focuses on advocating for healthcare professionals, addressing the challenges they face, and introducing Shelli-Ann McKenzie’s nonprofit organization, Help for Healthcare Professionals (HCPP). The goal is to highlight burnout, financial struggles, and systemic issues in healthcare while promoting programs that support mental wellness, financial literacy, and career development. Key Takeaways Healthcare Workforce Challenges Nurses and healthcare professionals face high stress, burnout, and long hours, leading to workforce shortages. Many professionals struggle financially—24% live in poverty. Lack of professors in nursing schools limits the number of students entering the profession. Understanding Nursing Roles Nursing includes multiple levels: Registered Nurse (RN): Associate or bachelor’s degree. Advanced Practice Nurses: Master’s level (e.g., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator). Doctorate Level: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD. Nurse practitioners often function as an extension of physicians, providing quality care. Respect and Recognition Nurses provide more direct care than any other health profession but often lack recognition. Advocacy is key to ensuring nurses can practice at the highest level and improve access to care. Why HCPP Was Founded Born out of COVID-19 crisis and Shelli-Ann’s personal experience with burnout. Mission: Provide mental health referrals, financial assistance (gift cards, gas), and professional development. Programs include: Financial literacy workshops Entrepreneurship training for healthcare professionals Scholarships and internships for aspiring professionals Youth Med Program Targets ages 13–20 to build a healthcare workforce pipeline. Offers hands-on training, CPR certification, exposure to neurosurgeons, and mentorship. Tuition-free and designed to scale nationally. Funding and Community Support HCPP is a nurse-owned nonprofit, funded by federal grants and donations. Annual event: Night of Grand and Gratitude—a charity awards dinner to raise funds for programs. Notable Quotes “No one else was coming to save us—so I created HCPP.” “24% of healthcare professionals live in poverty.” “If we don’t have enough professors, we cap nursing students—it’s cyclical.” “The most rewarding part of nursing is showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments.” “Every dollar we raise fuels education programs like Youth Med—strategic investment in the future of healthcare.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The word is spreading through the education community that a new kind of artificial intelligence enables students to complete an entire course with a single prompt. As one educator explained, with just a simple setup, a student can put an entire course on autopilot and go back to playing video games. It's called Agentic AI, and it has sparked a new round of handwringing and calls to go back to blue books and pencils. To kick off 2026, the creators of SAMR, TPACK, Triple E, SETI, and the Gen AI U frameworks met to unravel how this technology may impact teaching, learning, and the future of proving that a student's degree or credential actually indicates competence. The big takeaway is that the solutions start with asking the right questions.

Defense isn't about the plan. It's about the seconds right before the choice — the moment your brain starts negotiating and you talk yourself into an exception. For Defense Foundations scholarships, over 100 of you submitted applications — and a few themes showed up over and over. In this final episode of the Defense series, I'm breaking down the most common ways people talk themselves into drift, and what to do instead (the way we coach it inside Defense). In this episode, we cover: Why "I'll start tomorrow" is usually good intention — and still a costly pattern How to stop making it all-or-nothing by doing the increment you're willing to do Why perfectionism often shows up as "shoulds" and kills creativity The difference between a plan that looks good and a plan you'll actually live "I deserve it" and the truth we skip: the first 10% vs. the back half Ready to go deeper?

In this episode, Avram and Thora interview Matthew L. Bowen, a professor of Religious Education from Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Bowen has published numerous studies on ancient wordplay in the Book of Mormon. Bowen discusses his study recently published in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship which explores Mormon's use of the Hebrew root ḥayil/ḥêl, a root that has a wide range of meanings, including “wealth,” “abundance,” and “army.” Bowen argues that Mormon deploys this in a variety of ways in his portrayal of the people of Helam in Mosiah 23, providing new perspectives on the idea of prosperity in the Book of Mormon. Building off of Bowen's paper, this episode talks about how this helps us better understand other ancient aspects of Nephite culture like orality and the centrality of the Exodus narrative. The post Conversations with Interpreter Episode 5: Matthew Bowen, “Naming and Narrative Irony in Mosiah 23” first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Jocelyn Pearson. Purpose of the Interview The interview on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald and Jocelyn Pearson aimed to: Share Jocelyn’s journey of graduating debt-free by securing $126,350 in scholarships. Educate families on how to avoid student loan debt through her proven system, The Scholarship System. Dispel myths about scholarships and provide actionable steps for parents and students. Key Takeaways Scholarship System Approach Jocelyn developed a six-step process to simplify scholarship applications and avoid overwhelm. Focus on breaking the process into small, manageable steps rather than a vague “go get money” directive. Common Myths Debunked Too early or too late to apply: Start by junior year; it’s never too late—even college seniors can apply. Only perfect students or low-income families qualify: Many scholarships don’t require high GPA or athletic ability. All good scholarships are gone: Smaller, local scholarships ($500–$5,000) add up over time. It takes too much time: With a system and reusable materials, effort decreases each year. Avoiding Scholarship Scams Beware of “easy,” “enter to win,” or sweepstakes-style scholarships—they often sell personal data. Real scholarships require effort and personalization. Role of Parents Parents should help with planning and identifying legitimate scholarships but not complete applications for students. Committees can detect when parents write essays. AI in Scholarship Applications Jocelyn warns against copy-pasting AI-generated essays. Her platform introduced TESS, an AI assistant for ethical guidance and support. Financial Aid Basics Submit FAFSA even if you think you won’t qualify; some colleges and states require it. Combine all sources—government aid, institutional aid, and private scholarships. For Current College Students Check with financial aid offices, academic departments, and organizations for scholarships available after freshman year. Entrepreneurial Journey Jocelyn turned her passion into a business by starting with a book, building an email list, and launching webinars. She emphasizes persistence and ignoring naysayers. Notable Quotes “I had to accumulate my way to getting college paid for—the mere mortals’ way to going to college without tons of debt.” “Most families want scholarships, but they get stuck in the overwhelm.” “There’s no big red easy button—but with clear steps, it feels less daunting.” “We’re saying no to the broken system… It takes, on average, 21 years to pay off student loans.” “With great power comes great responsibility—AI can help, but only if used ethically.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you find yourself up late at night searching for scholarships, and ways to pay for college without parental help? Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you’re following God’s plan for your life? In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt! I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you! Hey there! I’m Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn’t heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track? I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free! And, I’m here to teach you HOW to do this, too. If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.
