Paychecks and perks are no longer enough for retention.MOVE Like ThisWith Bonnie Buol RuszczykFor CPA TrendlinesIn this episode of MOVE Like This, Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk sits down with Kristi Epp, a tax partner, and Amber Schrock, an advisory partner and Las Vegas market leader at Frazier & Deeter, to explore how the accounting profession is evolving and what firm leaders can do to better support their people. Both guests share their career journeys and how they found long-term professional homes at the firm, emphasizing mentorship, growth opportunities, and a culture that values people as much as performance.  MORE MOVE Epp and Schrock note that the past five years, particularly the post-COVID period, have fundamentally reshaped accounting. Remote work, automation, and regulatory complexity are now the norm, while consolidation and private equity activity are accelerating change across the profession. Frazier & Deeter's recent growth initiatives, including acquisitions, reflect this shifting landscape and the need for firms to think differently about scale, talent, and integration.

In this episode of the Momentum Ministry Partners Podcast, Eric Miller sits down with retired pastor and missionary Norman Schrock. Norman has worn a lot of hats (pastor, missionary, teacher, interim leader… even a few you wouldn't expect), and he shares the kind of perspective you only get through years of faithful ministry, hard seasons, and God's steady refinement. Together they talk about how pastoring and ministry have shifted over the years—what's changed, what hasn't, and what young pastors need to watch out for in today's church culture. Norman also gets incredibly practical about staying rooted, staying healthy, and staying in it for the long haul (including some wisdom on marriage, accountability, and not letting ministry become your identity).  If you're a pastor, leader, or just someone trying to stay fresh and faithful in your calling, this one will strengthen you. Press play and let Norm's stories remind you that God is still shaping His servants, no matter what season you're in. Check out www.buildmomentum.org to learn more about our organization and how we seek to partner with local churches in order to equip today's young Christian leaders for tomorrow's opportunities.  Another great way to discover who we are?

Wat verraadt jouw lichaam, nog vóór je iets zegt? Een subtiele frons, een opgetrokken wenkbrauw of de manier waarop je een kamer binnenloopt: het laat vaak zien hoe jij je echt voelt. Psycholoog Guldan Turgut van de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is gespecialiseerd in het lezen van die onbewuste signalen. In deze aflevering legt ze uit hoe je lichaamstaal leert herkennen bij anderen én hoe je die kennis kunt inzetten om zelf sterker over te komen. Van een oprechte glimlach tot een zelfverzekerde houding en stemgebruik dat vertrouwen uitstraalt.

Faith Christian Fellowship Sermon

Data engineering is undergoing a fundamental shift. In this episode, I sit down with Nick Schrock, founder and CTO of Dagster, to discuss why he went from being an "AI moderate" to believing 90% of code will be written by AI. Being hands on also led to a massive pivot in Dagster's roadmap and a new focus on managing and engineering context.We dive deep into why simply feeding data to LLMs isn't enough. Nick explains why real-time context tools (like MCPs) can become "token hogs" that lack precision and why the future belongs to "context pipelines": offline, batch-computed context that is governed, versioned, and treated like code.We also explore Compass, Dagster's new collaborative agent that lives in Slack, bridging the gap between business stakeholders and data teams. If you're wondering how your role as a data engineer will evolve in an agentic world, this conversation maps out the territoryDagster: dagster.io Nick Schrock on X: @schrockn

This is Mark and Rita's first-ever podcast interview! The Schrocks are fellow Christians and engineer specialists at NASA's Mission Control in Houston, Texas and share with us what working at Mission Control is like. We talk about everything from landing on the moon, to Space Shuttle missions and even what they think of aliens! And of course, we talk about how we believe it all points to the glory of God. Human space exploration is good, but it isn't safe. Mark is the chief design engineer behind the Space Shuttle's Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver which was first performed on STS-114, the first shuttle mission after the tragic loss of Columbia in February of 2003. Twenty-one shuttle missions performed Mark's RPM. Discovery: STS-114, STS-121, STS-116, STS-120, STS-124, STS-119, STS-128, STS-131, STS-133 Atlantis: STS-115, STS-117, STS-122, STS-129, STS-132, STS-135 Endeavor: STS-118, STS-123, STS-126,  STS-127, STS-130, STS-134.

Alongside the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual meeting 2025 the Center for Baptist Leadership hosted the "For the Faithful Majority Conference," William Wolfe emphasized the importance of the SBC's strength and fidelity to the Bible. He highlighted the 40th anniversary of W.A. Criswell's sermon and his personal conversion story. The event featured keynote speaker Steve Deace, sponsor booths, and panels discussing the SBC's integrity, financial transparency, and the role of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC).

Faith Christian Fellowship Sermon

In this episode, Nate Shannon and Dan Schrock explore the themes of certainty and assurance in faith as articulated by Hermann Bavinck in his book 'The Certainty of Faith.' Dan has recently translated and edited this work which will be available through our very own Westminster Seminary Press. Grab yourself a copy here. They discuss the historical context of Bavinck's writing, the impact of the Enlightenment and modernity on theological thought, and the pastoral relevance of Bavinck's insights for contemporary Christians facing uncertainty. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of grounding assurance in the authority of Scripture and the objective truth of faith, rather than subjective experiences.
