One April afternoon, millions gathered along a mapped arc across Mexico and the United States to witness a rare total solar eclipse. Schools released children, small towns blossomed to receive travelers, neighbors set up lawn chairs in driveways donning protective glasses to take in the wonder. As television crews documented the countdown to “totality,” the crowd grew silent except for one repeated phrase: “Oh my God!” That struck me. I don’t know for certain why those observers chose that phrase in that moment, but I suspect that as mortals encountered the rare and the astonishing, they seemed to need Someone to acknowledge. Someone to thank. Someone to worship. When we look heavenward, our response is awe. As David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1). Luke, the historian, reports Jesus’ last minutes on the cross. “It was about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining” (23:44-45). Matthew shares a response to this revelation. “When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, ‘Surely he was the Son of God!’ ” (Matthew 27:54). They couldn’t help but acknowledge God as the Someone worthy of worship. In humble awe, I worship You—my God.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complex systems surrounding your child's mental and behavioral health? In this episode, we dive deep into how families can bridge the gap between schools, medical providers, and home life to ensure every child thrives. Join us for a powerful conversation about advocacy, collaboration, and the importance of meeting children where they are.In this episode, host Jae sits down with Dr. Katrina Ostmeyer, PhD, the founder of Beyond the Individual and a professor at the University of Kansas. Katrina shares her unique journey from academia to clinical practice, sparked by her own experiences as a parent of children who do not always fit the traditional mold. We explore the common frustrations of siloed systems where schools, insurance companies, and parents often find themselves at odds rather than working together.Katrina explains why true collaboration is the secret ingredient to progress and how her clinic provides a continuum of care that empowers families rather than creating long-term dependency. We also discuss the vital role of parental self-regulation, exploring why parenting is often more about managing our own emotions than controlling our children. Whether you are navigating an IEP, seeking behavioral support, or looking for ways to better regulate your household, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouragement.Chapters0:00 Intro and Welcome2:15 Katrina's Journey to Psychology and Practice5:30 Filling Service Gaps in Mental Health8:45 The Problem with Siloed Systems12:00 Collaboration Over Blame in Child Success15:15 Parenting and Self-Regulation18:30 Focus on Guidance and Autonomy21:45 The Beyond the Individual Service Model25:00 Moving Toward Independence in Therapy28:30 Working with Schools and IEP Teams31:15 Telehealth and Reaching Families Everywhere34:00 Final Takeaways and Self-Care35:51 End of VideoIf you found this conversation helpful, please like this video and subscribe to our channel for more insights on supporting your children.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The stated purpose was not to raise the best and brightest, nor the most athletic. It didn't even tout the task of having the number one ranking in the world. Schools once had a distinct purpose in education and a partnership plan in achieving that purpose. Where has it gone, and can we get it back?

NO OTHER NAME - ACTS 4:1-12 - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 4:1-12 "Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.Addressing the Sanhedrin5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”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 because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I'm wanting to intentionally develop leaders on my team. Ideas or suggestions? Listen in to hear their repsonse! Meet Dr. Darin Thompson: Darin A. Thompson, PhD, is a veteran K–12 leader from Fairfax, Virginia, with nearly 20 years of experience and the founder of Pivotal Leaders Group. A two-time Outstanding Principal of the Year semi-finalist within his region, Dr. Thompson has led transformative school improvement efforts across multiple school divisions, resulting in double-digit gains in student outcomes and significant reductions in achievement gaps for historically underserved populations. A regular presenter at conferences such as NAESP/NASSP's United Conference, Making Schools Work, and the Virginia Alliance of Black School Educators, Dr. Thompson has contributed to Education Week, the Journal of Urban Learning, Teaching, and Research, and other publications. He is the author of The Four Cornerstones of Effective Schools, published by Solution Tree, and a proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Effective Schools & the Four Cornerstones: Dr. Thompson's framework centers on the belief that effective schools are built through intentional systems, not isolated initiatives. In The Four Cornerstones of Effective Schools, he outlines how culture, collaboration, and aligned structures work together to support improvement. Rather than chasing new programs, leaders are encouraged to focus on building systems that consistently reinforce high-quality teaching and learning. Dr. Thompson's Educational Journey: Dr. Thompson shares that his path into education was anything but traditional. Initially interested in careers in law and financial planning, he discovered his passion for teaching and was later encouraged by a principal to step into leadership. That encouragement set him on a path that would eventually lead to the principalship and beyond, shaping his belief that leadership development often begins with someone recognizing potential in others. The Pivotal Leader Mindset: A key takeaway from the conversation is the importance of developing a “pivotal leader mindset.” Dr. Thompson explains that school improvement begins with how leaders think. Growth-oriented beliefs, combined with a willingness to examine one's own assumptions, allow leaders to better navigate complex challenges. Without this mindset, even the best strategies can fall short. Limiting Beliefs in Leadership: As the discussion continues, Dr. Thompson highlights how limiting beliefs can quietly undermine progress. Under pressure, leaders may begin to question their own effectiveness or doubt the capabilities of their staff. He emphasizes the importance of confronting these beliefs with evidence and shifting the focus toward building skills and capacity. When leaders change how they think, they change how they lead. School Culture & Staff Support: The conversation reinforces that strong culture is foundational to any improvement effort. Dr. Thompson describes common barriers such as complacency, isolation, and command-and-control leadership, all of which can limit progress. He stresses that support must come before accountability—teachers need clarity, resources, and encouragement before they can be expected to perform at high levels. Diagnosing the Cultural Landscape: Before implementing change, Dr. Thompson encourages leaders to pause and assess their current environment. He introduces three essential elements for a culture of support: clarity, trust, and readiness. Clarity ensures everyone understands the vision, trust builds confidence in leadership, and readiness equips staff with the skills needed to succeed. Skipping this diagnostic step often leads to frustration and failed initiatives. Building Instructional Capacity: Improving instruction requires more than one-time professional development. Dr. Thompson shares strategies for building capacity over time, including job-embedded learning, teacher-led sessions, and consistent feedback. He describes practical approaches like teacher-led “egg camps,” where educators share effective practices based on real classroom data, creating relevance and ownership in the learning process. PLCs & Collaboration: Professional Learning Communities play a critical role in sustaining improvement. Dr. Thompson explains that effective PLCs go beyond logistics and focus on meaningful collaboration around instruction and student outcomes. While resistance is common at first, establishing clear expectations and purpose helps shift teams toward deeper engagement and shared responsibility. Systems for Sustainable Improvement: Throughout the conversation, Dr. Thompson returns to the importance of systems. Strong systems act as guardrails, helping leaders stay focused on priorities and avoid reactive decision-making. By aligning systems with the school's vision, leaders create consistency and momentum, allowing improvement efforts to take root and grow over time. Leadership & Well-Being: The episode concludes with an encouraging message for leaders. Dr. Thompson reminds listeners that meaningful school improvement is possible without burnout. By focusing on systems, maintaining clarity, and prioritizing the right work, leaders can create lasting impact while also sustaining their own well-being. His message is both practical and hopeful—offering a clear path forward for those committed to leading effective schools.

Most schools reward kids who give the right answer — but real life rewards kids who know how to ask the right question. If you want your child to lead instead of simply follow, thinking differently about education is where everything starts.This episode shows you exactly how to shift from raising compliant students to raising confident thinkers, with 3 practical changes you can make starting this week:✅Why followers wait for answers but leaders learn to ask better questions✅The difference between checking memory and developing real thinking skills✅How discussion builds discernment, communication, and confidence in your kids✅Why one better question this week can do more than an entire curriculum change✅What two brothers with no college degrees teach us about thinking differently✅One practical thing to do this week that builds wisdom instead of knowledgeClick the link below to join the Raising Leaders Not Followers Early Access List and get a private homeschool chat.Resources for You Raising Leaders Not Followers Early Access ListFREE Masterclass - Start School Right in 2026 STOP your overwhelm and find confidence for this school yearShow Notes:Followers Wait for Answers. Leaders Ask Better Questions.Imagine your child is 25 years old. The boss gives them a problem no one has seen before. How does your child react? Do they say — well, what am I supposed to do? Or do they say — let me think through this?That's the difference between followers and leaders. Most schools reward students with the right answer. Leaders become leaders because they learn to ask the right questions.Today I want to challenge you with one of the biggest assumptions we've inherited from the current school system.The School System Was Built for Workers, Not LeadersTraditional education often rewards memorization, compliance, following directions, and getting the right answers. Those skills have value. But leadership requires something different. Leaders evaluate. Leaders solve problems. Leaders make decisions where there isn't one correct answer.The Wright Brothers Never Had Engineering DegreesMost people think of the Wright brothers as one person. There were really two of them — and they used their individual giftedness together.Wilbur Wright was steady and focused. His father described him as never rattled in thought or temper. He was highly intelligent, an avid reader, a talented writer, and a gifted speaker. After an accident in high school, he was uncertain of his health and future, dropped his plans to attend Yale, and spent most of his time alone — reading and thinking.Orville Wright was curious, optimistic, energetic, and impulsive. He had a wide range of interests, a quick mind, and was always coming up with new inventions. He actually chose a series of advanced college prep courses in his junior year of high school — but that meant he couldn't graduate at the end of his senior year. So he just decided not to attend school that term.That's right. The co-inventor of the airplane never graduated from high school.Despite their lack of formal diplomas, both brothers committed to broad learning. All the reading they did would have been equivalent to — or bigger than — a modern four-year college degree. And they did it on their own, outside of school.Neither one had an engineering degree. They owned a bicycle shop. They questioned accepted scientific ideas instead of assuming the experts were right. They built wind tunnels, tested hundreds of wing designs, and learned by experimenting. Their willingness to think independently led to the first successful powered flight.They weren't simply collecting information. They were learning how to think through problems. And that's what I want for my kids — and I think that's what you want for yours too.The Questions That Develop Thinking — Not Just MemoryInstead of asking what did you learn today, ask what surprised you today? What question do you still have?There's a real difference. What did you learn just repeats facts. What surprised you and what questions do you still have make your kids think. One checks memory. The other develops thinking.For older kids, ask what do you think about this topic? That forces them to have an opinion. And opinion is a higher-level thinking skill.Followers wait for answers. Leaders ask better questions. And great education is less about you, mom, giving answers — it's about teaching children to investigate. It's about asking questions and letting them discover answers. Instead of saying here's what to believe or here's what to know, teach them to ask — is that true? How do we know? What's the evidence? Does this line up with Scripture? What are the consequences?Charlotte Mason understood this over a hundred years ago. She believed education is the science of relations — that children connect ideas, not just memorize facts. She encouraged narration, living books, nature study, and discussion because those require children to think instead of repeat information.Louis Braille Changed the World by Refusing to Accept the ProblemLouis Braille lost eyesight in one eye at age three, and by the time he was five, an infection took his sight in both eyes. But instead of giving up, he kept learning. Schools for the blind had almost no useful books. And so he thought — there has to be a better way.His curiosity changed education around the world. At age 15, he invented the Braille reading system, which has impacted millions — possibly billions — of blind readers around the world.His education wasn't just about covering subjects. It was about persistence, creativity, and solving real problems. Followers in life accept problems. Leaders solve them.The Power of DiscussionOne reason homeschooling is so powerful is that you can have real conversations with your children. Discussions develop thinking in ways that lectures, worksheets, and fill-in-the-blank assignments simply cannot.Try asking — why do you think the character acted the way they did? What would you have done? Was it wise? Is this what God would want? Those open-ended questions build discernment, communication skills, and confidence — all part of leadership education.Katherine Johnson was a NASA mathematician featured in the movie Hidden Figures. She was known for asking serious, careful questions and checking her calculations before accepting anything. Even after computers arrived, astronauts trusted her mathematical reasoning. John Glenn specifically requested that Katherine run the same numbers by hand — and said if she says they're good to go, I'm ready to go.Leadership often begins by asking better questions. That's exactly what Katherine Johnson did.What to Do This WeekWhen your child asks a question this week — don't answer it. Ask them instead — what do you think? How could we find out? You might be amazed at what happens when your children have permission from you to wrestle with ideas.Replace one answer this week with a question. Just watch what happens.The goal isn't smarter kids. It's wiser leaders. Twenty years from now, would you rather your child know every state capital — or know how to make wise decisions?Knowledge matters. But wisdom matters more. In Proverbs it says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. That is the direction we need to go if we're raising godly Christian leaders — not simply educated children, but leaders who love God, think biblically, and influence the world around them.Every discussion, every read aloud, every family conversation, every dinner table question can become leadership training.Leadership education is at the heart of my Raising Leaders, Not Followers course.

SummaryThere is a question sitting underneath most conversations about generative AI in schools right now. Not whether it belongs in the classroom. That debate is largely settled. The harder question is what happens to the parts of learning that cannot be automated.For this episode of Season 3, Garth Nichols and Jason Rogers put that question to a panel of education experts: Alan Gertner, Justin Medved, Natalie Vera, and Eric Hudson. Rather than a single guest working through a single book, this conversation brings several voices into the room together, each carrying a different vantage point on where AI is already reshaping classrooms and where it still has no business being.The panel moves quickly, but it stays grounded. Talk of curriculum and tools gives way to something more personal: student agency, the discipline of keeping a human in the loop, and what it might mean for a generation of students to grow up fluent in tools built to think for them.What lingers longest is a claim offered almost in passing, that real education happens in the parts that cannot be Googled. Not because the tools are unwelcome. Because the parts that cannot be searched are the parts that were never really about information in the first place. Literacy, ethics, leadership. Everything the panel touches keeps circling back to that idea.Chapters00:00 setting the stage: why ai matters for schools right now04:00 the panel introduces itself, and where each perspective differs09:49 stories of ai already at work in classrooms20:12 practical strategies for bringing ai into a school29:59 the ethics of ai, and why a human still needs to be in the loop40:03 a future vision for ai and school leadership50:10 helping educators and parents step into ai with confidence59:57 closing thoughts and where to find moreKey TakeawaysAgency, not automation. The panel keeps returning to student agency as the center of AI literacy. The goal is not a generation that defers to the machine, but one that knows when to.Inspiration before implementation. The most convincing case for AI in schools comes not from policy, but from small classroom stories. The panel offers several, and they do more work than any framework could.A human still has to be in the loop. Ethical use of AI is treated as a design constraint, not an afterthought. Every strategy discussed assumes a person is still making the final call.What cannot be searched. For all the ground the panel covers, the conversation keeps returning to the same idea. The most important parts of education are the parts a search engine was never built to hold.Quotes"Centering student agency in AI literacy.""Real education happens in the parts that can't be Googled.""Generative AI can push civilization forward."ResourcesLearning on Purpose Newsletter: https://substack.com/learnonpurposeCohort21 Blog and Resources: https://cohort21.comKinship, Precision Learning: https://buildkinship.ai (double check, see note above)NETI, Network for EdTech and Innovation: https://linkedin.com/groups/12345678Guest LinksJustin Medved, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinmedved/Natalie Vera, LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/natalie-vera-3b1ab840Eric Hudson, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ejhudson/Alan Gertner, LinkedIn: [needs confirmation, placeholder]

Jenny Curtin partners with schools and districts across New England on behalf of the Barr Foundation, where she helps build and scale Transformative Learning Experiences — rigorous, project-based units developed with partner Springpoint that pull students out of the classroom and into courtrooms, communities, and real business ventures. Her work runs on a philanthropic value most funders don't practice: taking the long view, and staying with schools through the slow, unglamorous work of actual change. A student named Buddha dropped out of high school after years of disconnected, irrelevant coursework — and became his graduation class speaker after enrolling somewhere that taught differently. Jenny Curtin of the Barr Foundation joins the show to explain the model behind that turnaround, and why most school transformation efforts stall before they ever reach a kid like him.

Listener 'Sarah' tells us about the burden and resentment she feels at caring for a parent who is in her 90s, when she is a pensioner too. This is the time she thought she would have for herself. Clare Jefferies, who co-runs care companies and has written the book: I'm Your Daughter, Not Your Carer, and Caroline Abrahams, charity director of Age UK, discuss the problem with Kylie Pentelow.Have you ever considered working in boat building? We were contacted by Women in Boat Building, a community of women working hands-on in the industry, who wanted to tell us about their experiences and raise the profile of a trade that's largely male-dominated. Abbey Molyneux, a traditional boat builder who runs her own boatyard in Norfolk and is a director of Women in Boat Building, and Vanessa Larmond, who's just starting out in the industry in Southwold, Suffolk, tell us what it is like.Do you ever use dialect when you speak? Do you think of yourself as having an accent? How do you feel about the way you sound? A listener in Yorkshire, Christina Longden, has got in touch with a request to hear from women like herself who are actively keeping regional dialect alive, an endeavour which she says has traditionally been the preserve of men. Christina would also like to discuss accent and dialect bias and why, she says, men have always been more permitted to speak in dialect than women. To discuss why what you say and how you say it still matters and how it's influenced by gender, presenter Chloe is joined from Yorkshire by Christina Longden, a council member of the Yorkshire Dialect Society; by Diana Rackham, chair of Friends of Norfolk Dialect; and by Rob Drummond, professor of sociolinguistics at Manchester Metropolitan University.In two weeks' time, thousands of young people will open their GCSE results - but what about those who don't get the grade 4 they need in maths and English? 41% of pupils in maths and 29% in English won't reach that benchmark, and 82% fail their resits, blocking their path to A levels, T Levels and BTECs. Listener Hannah Gee highlights a hidden alternative: Functional Skills, which have a 60–80% pass rate. Chloe Tilley talks to Hannah and her son Joe, and Claire Green from the Association of School and College leaders.Do men make more noise than women? One of our listeners thinks so and wrote: ‘It seems like a bit of frivolity, maybe, but it is blooming annoying, and I started to wonder if there is something psychological behind it: the noise men make when there is no need to make a noise at all. The coughing, sniffing, ‘ahhing' as they get up and down, the belching, farting etc. It seems to get worse as they get older; or is it that women become less tolerant? Women seem to be silent in a room, but their other half is constantly making some sort of noise.' Janet Street-Porter and Tim Dowling discuss.Presenter: Chloe Tilley Producer: Annette Wells

How Does Therapy Culture Undermine True Healing?   Host Curtis Chang talks with physician and author Matthew Loftus about how therapeutic language can distort ordinary suffering, turn disagreement into "gaslighting," and leave people feeling less capable of changing their lives. They examine the overmedicalization of grief and anxiety, the rise of mental health culture in schools, and why churches risk losing their purpose when pastors start acting like therapists. **This is not an attack on therapy or psychiatric medication. It is a provocative conversation about when mental health care becomes a worldview—and whether our relentless focus on feeling better is actually making us sicker.   02:10 - Therapy Practice vs. Therapy Culture 03:52 - The Importance of Personal Experience 06:34 - The Three Elements of Therapy Culture 10:09 - The Problem with Focusing on Mental Health 13:22 - The Suggestive Power of Diagnosis 15:30 - A Christian Understanding of Suffering 17:57 - Finding Solace in the Midst of Suffering 21:40 - The Role of Medication in Mental Health 25:49 - Knowing When Therapy Becomes Unhelpful 28:30 - The Unique, Healing Functions of the Church  32:21 - How Parents Can Counter Therapy Culture in Schools 35:01 - A Final Word of Encouragement   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate     Mentioned in This Episode: Matthew Loftus's Resisting Therapy Culture Curtis Chang's Anxiety Opportunity Kathryn Greene-McCreight's Darkness Is My Only Companion What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?     Further Reading: DSM5 and the Medicalization of Grief: Two Perspectives (article) Matter over mind: How mental health symptom presentations shape diagnostic outcomes Effectiveness of school-based mental health programs on mental health among adolescents     Scriptures: Romans 8:38–39 (ESV)   More From Matthew Loftus: Matthew's website Matthew's writing at Mere Orthodoxy Matthew's articles at Plough     Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

When Democrats can't agree on Democratic priorities, you know something is wrong. It was evident on Monday's installment of ‘The Weekly Show.'

To Fetterman's claim that Israel is his "red line," Stewart said "Israel is not our country." Today's guests include: Former federal prosecutor David Katz.
