This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition, Strong Coffee Company and Timeline Nutrition.  In this powerful and timely episode of Ever Forward Radio, Chase sits down with Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to discuss a growing national movement around children's health, school nutrition, and public policy reform. Senator McMath dives deep into his groundbreaking Senate Bill 14 (Act 463)—a first-of-its-kind initiative to limit artificial dyes, additives, and sweeteners in school meals, introduce QR code ingredient transparency, and improve the overall nutritional standards in Louisiana schools. What began as a personal journey to restore his family's health evolved into a statewide wellness movement—and a national example of how policy can reshape public health from the ground up. Together, Chase and Patrick explore the intersection of wellness, politics, and personal responsibility, how chaos can lead to reform, and why the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is transforming how we think about food and children's well-being. ----- In this episode we discuss... 02:00 – Meet Senator Patrick McMath 04:45 – From Infrastructure to Health Care Reform 08:40 – Louisiana's Health Crisis 11:15 – A Personal Wake-Up Call: His Wife's Health Journey 13:45 – The Book That Changed Everything: End of Cravings 17:20 – From Family Health to Public Policy 20:00 – Children, Schools, and the MAHA Movement 27:20 – The “Maha Moms” and Grassroots Advocacy 33:00 – What SB 14 Actually Does 37:00 – Learning from Other States & Building Momentum 41:00 – Forcing Big Food to the Table 46:00 – Transparency, QR Codes, and What's Next 50:00 – The Economics of Healthy Change 54:30 – Good Chaos: Disrupting for Progress 59:10 – Profits vs. Public Health 1:05:00 – The SNAP Program and Coca-Cola's Pushback 1:10:00 – Public Engagement & The Power of the People 1:13:00 – How Podcasts Drive Change 1:17:00 – Rapid Fire: Prevention, Education, and Chronic Disease 1:19:30 – His Decade Wish: Eradicating Cancer & Autism's Rise 1:21:00 – Politics Meets Wellness 1:24:10 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: 20% off Flow and Serenity gummies with at https://www.CuredNutrition.com/everforward 15% off Coffee Booster with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com  FREE 3-day sample of MitoPure gummies with Urolithin A at https://www.Timeline.com/everforwardsample  Watch and subscribe on YouTube Learn more at PatrickMcMath.com

In Mahmoud v. Taylor the Supreme Court affirmed parents rights to remove their children from LGBTQ material used in public schools. The Court ruled that opt-outs preserve separation of church and state, and protect parental rights.  The Dissent maintains that exposure is not the same thing as indoctrination, and opt-outs are at best going to be an administrative nightmare, at worst a religious veto on acceptable content. Anastasia Boden of PLF joins to discuss.

Send us a textRecently, Lucy Foulkes, a Research Fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, wrote an opinion piece for The Guardian newspaper titled, “Mental-health lessons in schools sound a like a great idea. The trouble is, they don't work,” in which she asserts, “the only information we should teach en masse is where a young person should get help.” My guest today to discuss this article and get beyond its provocative title is Kevin Runions. In addition to being a friend of Talking About Kids, Kevin is an academic researcher, an independent consultant, and a globally-recognized expert on the important components of school climate, like bullying initiatives and mental-health lessons. Spoiler alert: Keven and I do not believe that the research Lucy cites supports her conclusion. More information about Kevin, including how you can engage him to improve school climates where you live, is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Nearly a decade ago in Ghana, 15-year-old Kevin Moses died at Achimota High School. In a landmark ruling last year, Ghana's High Court found the school negligent for Kevin's death. The school has appealed that decision. Between May 2023 and February 2024, six students died while in boarding school. Why are children dying in schools in Ghana? Also, we hear differing views on what caused the recent floods in Sudan.

Scaling is glorified in our culture. In early childhood education, that often means opening more schools, adding more classrooms, and constantly chasing “what's next.” But is that the only way to define success?In this episode of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, Chanie Wilschanski sits down with Latrice Crawford, known as The Child Care Chick, to talk about the overlooked power of scaling with one location. Latrice shares how she built Kidsville Learning Academy into a multimillion-dollar school that has sustained for 18 years without expanding into multiple sites.This conversation dives into the foundation of sustainable leadership: mindset, systems, culture, and defining what's truly “enough.” You'll hear Latrice's powerful story of burnout and breakthrough, how she shifted from operator to CEO, and why her definition of success is rooted in peace, values, and sustainability.If you've ever felt the pressure to open “just one more” location, or you're struggling to sustain the school you already have, this episode will show you another path to growth—one rooted in clarity, culture, and deep alignment.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why scaling doesn't have to mean opening more schoolsThe foundation school leaders often skip—and why it leads to burnoutThe mindset shift from operator to CEOHow to invest in your team so they sustain without you holding everythingWhy defining “enough” is critical to long-term successHow to filter opportunities through your values and visionKey InsightsSustainability is scale. Long-term thriving in one school can build wealth, culture, and community impact.Foundations matter. Hustle and charisma cannot replace systems, rhythms, and leadership infrastructure.Enough is a filter. Defining what is “enough” keeps you aligned when opportunities (and distractions) come knocking.Your health and peace are part of the equation. Burnout is not the price of success.Memorable Quotes“Scaling isn't about adding more schools—it's about sustaining the one you already have.” – Latrice Crawford“Enough is not a finish line. It's a feeling of integrity.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Don't fear if your staff leave after you invest in them. Fear what happens if they stay and you never do.” – Latrice CrawfordWhy This Matters for School LeadersHelps leaders redefine success beyond growth at all costsProtects culture, peace, and sustainability by focusing on depth, not constant expansionEmpowers leaders to filter opportunities through values instead of external pressureProvides a model for scaling to millions with one schoolResources & Next StepsDefine your personal and leadership definition of “enough”Audit your school's foundations: Are you building on systems, or on hustle?Share this episode with a fellow school leader wrestling with pressure to expandReady to stop holding everything together alone?

Her chapter’s done it all—blood drives, parade floats, Stop the Bleed certifications, and sending students to Internationals in events like Biomedical Debate. STORY 2: Gwinnett tops national mean score on SAT, but trails most metro neighbors   Gwinnett County Public Schools is celebrating its Class of 2025 SAT scores for beating the national average—1003 compared to 996—but the story’s a bit more complicated. While the district outpaced the nation, it fell short of Georgia’s state average (1029) and ranked seventh among 12 Metro RESA districts. Schools like Decatur City (1181) and Forsyth County (1178) left Gwinnett in the dust. Interim Superintendent Dr. Al Taylor remains optimistic. Bright spots? GSMST (1360) and North Gwinnett (1165). But some schools, like Meadowcreek (836), are struggling. STORY 3: Housing Matters: Rainbow Village breaks ground on expansion  Big things are happening at Rainbow Village. On Sept. 29, they broke ground on a major campus expansion that’ll more than double their capacity to help homeless families—going from 30 transitional apartments to 66. Families who live there get more than just a roof over their heads. They learn how to budget, tackle debt, and save for the future. Utilities and internet? Covered. The $15 million project is 73% funded, but there’s still work to do. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Brian Snitker out as Braves' manager, will transition into advisory role After months of speculation, Brian Snitker finally made it official: he’s stepping down as Braves manager after the 2025 season. But don’t worry—he’s not going far. Starting in 2026, he’ll take on an advisory role, marking his 50th year with the organization. At 70, Snitker’s ready for a slower pace—more time with family, fewer road trips. His journey with the Braves started in 1977, thanks to Hank Aaron, who gave him his first coaching job. As the Braves prepare to find their next manager, Snitker’s legacy looms large. From consignment-store bunk beds in the minors to hoisting a championship trophy, he’s seen it all. STORY 5: Buford City Schools names District Teacher of the Year Emily Stewart, Buford Senior Academy’s media specialist, was named the 2025 District Teacher of the Year for Buford City Schools—and honestly, it’s no surprise to anyone who knows her. Stewart, who works with third through fifth graders, has turned the Media Center into something magical. It’s not just a library anymore—it’s a place where kids discover new worlds, take risks as readers, and actually *want* to read. Her Reading Challenge program? A hit. The Genre Café? Genius. Kids sampling books like they’re at a coffee shop? Who wouldn’t love that? But she doesn’t stop there. Stewart organizes school communications, helps teachers with tech, and even runs district-wide events like Books on the Bus, giving free books to families. We’ll be right back. Break 3: LILBURN DAZE STORY 6: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful names 2025-26 Green Youth Advisory Council class Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful is kicking off another year of shaping young leaders with its Green Youth Advisory Council (GYAC) for 2025-2026. This year’s group? Twenty passionate high schoolers from 12 schools across Gwinnett County, ready to make a difference. New faces include Amari Wilson (South Gwinnett), Maansi Singh (GSMST), and Holly Spake (Brookwood), while returning members like Ananya Desai (Peachtree Ridge) and Brian Le (Brookwood) are back for more. From tackling litter to launching school programs, they’ll serve as advocates, volunteers, and innovators. Oh, and seniors? They’re eligible for a $1,000 scholarship. STORY 7: New store open at Mall of Georgia Johnston & Murphy, the classic American brand that’s been around since, well, 1850, is now open at the Mall of Georgia. You’ll find it upstairs, right across from JCPenney. Known for everything from handcrafted dress shoes to casual sneakers, polished jackets to everyday staples, Johnston & Murphy has this knack for blending timeless style with modern vibes. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a statement shoe *and* a go-to sweater in one trip. The boutique? Sleek, modern, and totally worth a visit.

At least two are dead after an attacker rammed a car into a crowd of worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester, England, then began stabbing people. The BBC also reports that several others were hospitalized with serious injuries. The Washington Post’s Meg Kelly details how the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid sent USAID’s supply chain haywire. Schools were initially wary of AI in the classroom, but now several of the biggest districts in the country are using chatbots in their lesson plans. On this week’s Apple News In Conversation, Vauhini Vara, contributing writer for Bloomberg Businessweek, discusses how some schools have come to embrace AI. Plus, why Trump declared that the U.S. is in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, the surprising way the Mormon community came together after last week’s deadly church shooting in Michigan, and how Taylor Swift inspired artists to take control of their music.

In this episode of the LiberatED podcast, Kerry McDonald is joined by Professor Eric Wearne, director of the National Hybrid Schools Project at Kennesaw State University, to explore the rapid growth of hybrid schooling. They discuss the historical roots of hybrid schooling, the post-COVID surge in new school launches, and what makes hybrid schools distinct from both traditional schools and homeschooling. Professor Wearne shares new research on teacher hiring preferences, school size and structure, and why hybrid models are resonating with more families today. The conversation also dives into key challenges, from teacher supply and accountability measures to succession planning for founders and the potential impact of AI on education. Whether you're a parent, educator, or entrepreneur, this episode offers a deep look at where hybrid schools are headed—and how they're reshaping the educational landscape. ***   Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

Welcome to a compelling conversation on Trending in Education, where we explore how innovative thinking and technology can transform public education. In this episode, Mike Palmer talks with Michelle Vilchez, CEO, and Sean Michael Hardy, Vice President of National Organizing and Advocacy, from Innovate Public Schools. They discuss their groundbreaking work in empowering parents and leveraging artificial intelligence to create a new tool called AI-EP, a project developed in collaboration with Northeastern University's Burnes Center for Social Change. Why You Should Listen: Empowering Parents: This episode highlights how a nonprofit organization is shifting power to parents, particularly those from marginalized communities, by giving them the tools and platforms to advocate for their children's education. AI for Good: You'll hear about a practical and inspiring use of AI that addresses a real-world problem and closes equity gaps, rather than exacerbating them. Community-Led Innovation: The conversation showcases a powerful model of "co-design," where tech developers, educators, and community members work together to create solutions that are both effective and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Innovate Public Schools is a movement, not a network. Michelle and Sean clarify that their organization's mission is to mobilize families to demand high-quality schools for their children, not to operate charter schools. They focus on campaigns for black literacy, special education, and high-impact tutoring. AI-EP addresses a critical need. The Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is often a dense, 50-page legal document that can be intimidating for parents, especially those who don't speak English or have low reading comprehension. The AI-EP tool translates the IEP into a parent's native language and allows them to ask questions, effectively serving as a chatbot to help them understand and engage with the plan. Collaboration is key to innovation. The AI-EP project was a collaborative effort involving Innovate Public Schools, Northeastern University, and the Learning Tapestry. By bringing together tech developers and parents, they created a tool that has had a transformational impact on users. Parent advocacy drives policy change. Innovate's parent leaders have not only influenced local policy but also co-authored legislation. Their advocacy led to the passage of California's Senate Bill 445, which mandates that IEP documents be translated into the 10 most common languages across the state, benefiting over 800,000 students. The model is replicable. Michelle and Sean stress that their goal is not to be "gatekeepers" of this innovation, but to share the model so it can be replicated across the nation to address a variety of educational challenges. They believe that organizing around education is crucial because it is the "building block" for everything else in life, from economic stability to generational wealth. Don't miss this conversation.

Anchor Chat #23: What's Your Tier 1 Reality?In this episode of Anchor Chats, Dr. Woods reflects on What's Your Tier 1 Reality?, examining the importance of understanding and strengthening core instruction.

As part of our ongoing collaboration with Central Square Foundation, we are here with the third episode of our five part series where we talk about public disclosure of school learning quality data.Usually, when parents assess schools for their children, they focus on non-academic factors like infrastructure and school facilities. But they do not have access to information regarding the most important factor that is student learning quality. The National Education Policy 2020 places a strong emphasis on public disclosure of school performance. To understand how is this reform is being implemented, we'll be joined by two guests who have been working hard towards bringing this change, Kapil Khurana, Associate Director for School Governance at CSF and A.K. Modh Patel, Additional Director, GCERT, Gujarat who is leading Gujarat's effort to disclose school learning quality data through the School Quality Assessment and Assurance Framework (SQAAF).Hosted and produced by Niharika NandaEdited and mixed by Suresh PawarLink to the first and second episode of our series with CSF:Episode 1Episode 2

In this episode, Paul Alex sits down with Douglas to uncover how he went from serving his country to building schools for underprivileged kids, saving lives through charitable missions, and ultimately revolutionizing the sales industry with AI technology. Douglas opens up about his military upbringing, the struggles he faced at home, and the decisive moment at 16 that set him on a new path. You'll hear how he built one of the most impactful coaching businesses in the world, helped over 15,000 entrepreneurs, and created LeadFi, a game-changing software reshaping how businesses qualify and close leads. But beyond the millions, Douglas shares the importance of faith, family, and presence — reminding us that success without being grounded at home is no success at all.

 In 2007, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries released a report looking at the seismic safety of more than 3,000 schools and other public buildings. A new analysis from The Oregonian/OregonLive found that of the 138 schools in the Portland area that were considered  at “high” or “very high” risk of collapsing, 110 of those continue to have students. And of those 110, 55 of them still have not had any major renovations. At the same time, some researchers are beginning to rethink whether the current "drop, cover and hold on" safety plan is the best option for students. Lizzy Acker is a reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive. She joins us to share more on the seismic preparedness of Portland's students and schools.

Every parent knows the morning drop-off routine. Backpacks, rushed breakfasts, waves from the car window. But beneath those ordinary moments lives an unspoken question: Will today be safe? In this episode i explore the heart of Rochester's conversation on school safety, gun violence, and what it truly means to protect our children. Listen now on your favorite platform, and let's reimagine what it means to hold on tighter while moving forward with courage and connection.

They are gone.  They ran the race. Five great men have died now. But what are the dying words of the last of "the prophets."  What would they say to us? All five were the strongest voices in the country - contra mundum. Phil Robertson, Pastor John MacArthur, Dr. James Dobson, Voddie Baucham, and Charlie Kirk left the same message — "Get. Your. Children. Out. Of. Public. Schools. Now." We're picking up the message, and taking it to the nation. What about "Public School Free!" Rallies in every state?

   I can think of a thousand things that if they were shutdown today I would notice.  The federal government isn't one of them.   So here we go, will this be another shutdown about nothing that we all forget about or will President Trump make this a shutdown to remember?    Frank White is out as Jackson County Executive... wait until you hear how badly he got smoked at the polls.  Now, who's next and what does it mean for the Royals and Chiefs.  At the same time, a lawsuit in Missouri is likely headed to the state's Supreme Court to keep the Royals and Chiefs from using tax revenue to build.    Kansas schools are becoming the embarrassment of the land as a young, portly principal with blue hair at an Olathe grade school takes a liberal stand.  And a sex ed teacher in Derby is arrested for child endangerment.  Why is this happening in Kansas so often and not Missouri?    The teenager that attacked the usher at T-Mobile Center ten days ago has been charged on two counts of assault but his real punishment may be coming from his school.    The Chiefs have the top cornerback in the league through four games and it's not Trent McDuffie.  Sporting KC makes a big, bold hire to run soccer operations.  Tom Watson has some very strong opinions about the fans at the Ryder Cup while Paul Azinger has strong words for Rory McIlroy.    And our Final Final is a new bridge that is the highest and longest in the world.

JOHN 9:17-41 - THE SON OF GOD - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025"17 They said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?”He said, “He is a prophet.”18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”20 His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner.”25 He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”26 Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”28 Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.”30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33 If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”34 They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out.True Vision and True Blindness35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.”38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.39 And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.' Therefore your sin remains.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible becausSupport the showSUPPORT THE SHOW
