Choosing a dissertation topic? Dr. Maggie Broderick shares "servant scholarship" — how to pick research that helps real teachers and students instead of just checking a box. In this conversation, Dr. Maggie Broderick — associate professor at National University, dissertation chair, and editor of the International Journal of Online Graduate Education — joins Vicki Davis to explore how doctoral students and classroom teachers alike can choose research with a servant's heart. In this episode, you'll learn: What "servant scholarship" is and why your motivation ("your why") shapes better research How to support teachers of less commonly taught subjects who often feel isolated Why connecting research to practice — and policy — matters more than just "learning the ropes" How researchers can keep a servant's heart even when funding is involved Encouragement for anyone weighing a PhD or EdD Full show notes and resources: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e953 If this episode helped you, please rate the show and leave a review wherever you're listening — it helps more educators find these conversations.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's main passage of the Gospel (Matthew 12:14-21), we read:"The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many people followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet"Jesus knows the Pharisees' behavior, and instead of fighting for His reputation or forcing a public confrontation, He withdraws. That withdrawal is not weakness, but the strength of someone completely rooted in the Father's will.Matthew connects this moment to Isaiah's prophecy about the Servant of the Lord: Jesus will not quarrel, shout, or crush what is already wounded.He sees fragile people with tenderness. He does not exploit vulnerability. He heals, restores, and moves gently with souls that are already bent under pressure.The contrast is sharp. While sinful power grabs, makes noise, and demands control, Christlike power heals.It's not just about being nice. It is choosing the way of Jesus when you are misunderstood, opposed, or tempted to prove yourself. We treat someone fragile, tired, anxious, sick, guilty, or difficult the way Christ treats people, by bringing justice through humility, mercy, and faithfulness.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

“Deity of Christ” believers have claimed that Isaiah saw Jesus, the “second person of the Godhead”, in Isaiah's vision of God recorded in Isaiah 6. The deity-of-Christ claim is that when John wrote, “Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (John 12:41) that when Isaiah saw God sitting on his throne in a vision, Isaiah saw Jesus.Did the prophet Isaiah, who claimed the God of Israel was the Father, claim to have seen God the Son and his glory?Or, was John claiming that "his glory" which Isaiah prophetically saw was the glory of the Servant of YHVH God?Resources: Written text of this podcast: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/07/john-1237-45-john-does-not-claim-that.htmlBill Schlegel One God Report: https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1The Trinity is NOT Biblical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VuvKEyB0gDeity of Christ Interpretations of Scripture Dishonor Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VOKEvGqAwWhat About John 1?

Session: 3 Date of First Use: August 2, 2026 Title: A Servant's Heart The Point: Serve Christ with eternity in mind.  Life Connection: In the work environment, we often live in competition with one another. Who has the more important role or work? Who does it better? That mindset is not necessary when we work for the kingdom. “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:23) is the praise that awaits all believers who carry out their respective roles with diligence and faithfulness.” In fact, competition among believers is harmful because it takes our focus off the One we serve.     Session Passage: 1 Corinthians 3:5-15 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's surprise move to replace popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has caused an outburst of anger from civil society and criticism from MPs. We hear reaction from Oleksandr Merezhko, a lawmaker with Mr Zelensky's Servant of the People Party.Also in the programme: US President Donald Trump is set to address the nation overnight, but not all of the country's major networks will air it live. And with only 41 cinemas in the world showing Sir Christopher Nolan's new adaptation of The Odyssey on IMAX 70mm film, what's the appeal of celluloid over digital projection?

Welcome to Day 2904 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2904– “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:51-62 Putnam Church Message – 06/14/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Snapshots From An Amazing Album.”   Last week's message was “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” in which we studied four snapshots from Christ's ministry. Today, we continue with our twenty-eighth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “A Face Like Flint.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:51-62, on page 1611 of your pew Bibles. Samaritan Opposition 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village. The Cost of Following Jesus 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today grateful for the steady, determined love of Jesus Christ. We confess that our hearts are often divided. We are distracted by comfort, delayed by excuses, wounded by rejection, and tempted to look back when You call us forward. Lord Jesus, as we watch You set Your face toward Jerusalem, help us see the depth of Your love and the seriousness of Your mission. Teach us what it means to follow You with unreserved sacrifice,>undivided devotion,> and unwavering commitment. Give us courage to press on. Give us grace to forgive. Give us faith to follow. May Your Word shape our hearts today. Amen.   Introduction: The Finish Line in View The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles gave us one of the most unforgettable marathon moments in Olympic history. Gabriela Andersen-Schiess entered the stadium near the end of the women's marathon, but something was terribly wrong. Heat exhaustion and dehydration had taken hold of her body. Her legs were stiff. Her movements were uneven. Her body looked like it might collapse at any step. Doctors moved toward her, but she waved them off because if they helped her, she would be disqualified. She had already run more than twenty-six miles. Only a few hundred meters remained. So she kept moving. / Step by painful step. / Lean, stagger, recover. / Another step. / Another step. / Another step. For nearly six agonizing minutes, she willed herself forward until she crossed the finish line and collapsed into medical care. What stayed with people was not that she won the race. She did not. What stayed with people was her determination. The finish line had become her single focus. She had come too far to quit. In Luke 9:51, Luke brings us to a major turning point in his Gospel. Jesus has healed the sick, calmed the storm, cast out demons, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, revealed His glory on the mountain, and taught His disciples what the Kingdom of God is like. / But now the story turns. Luke says, “As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.”  That phrase — “Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem,” — is powerful. It draws from the Old Testament image in Isaiah 50:7, where the Servant of the Lord says, “I have set my face like flint.” Flint is a hard stone. It does not bend easily. It is not soft clay. It is firm, sharp, and unyielding. Jesus set His face like flint toward Jerusalem. / Why Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem was where betrayal waited. Jerusalem was where rejection waited. Jerusalem was where false trials waited. Jerusalem was where the cross waited. Jerusalem was where the tomb waited. But Jerusalem was also where resurrection would break the power of death. Jerusalem was where salvation would be accomplished. From this point forward in Luke's Gospel, the cross is always in the background. Every conversation, every parable, every miracle, every encounter is moving Jesus closer to the place where He will give His life for the sins of the world. The theme of this passage is simple| but demanding: Jesus pressed on toward the cross, and He calls His followers to press on after Him. Here are the four truths that we can glean from today's passage, as found in your bulletin insert on the side ‘A Face Like Flint.' Main Point 1: Jesus Set His Face Toward the Father's Mission Luke tells us that the time was approaching for Jesus to be taken up. That points beyond the cross, beyond the grave, beyond the resurrection, all the way to His ascension. Jesus knew the whole journey. He was not stumbling into Jerusalem unaware. He was not trapped by circumstances. He was not surprised by the hostility waiting there. He was not swept along by political events beyond His control. Jesus knew where He was going. And He went anyway. That is love. In the previous message, “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” we saw Jesus tell His disciples again that He would be handed over into the hands of men. They did not understand. They were afraid to ask. But Jesus understood fully. He knew the cost before He paid it. / Now, He begins the journey. This is the beginning of what many Bible students call Luke's “travel section.” From Luke 9:51 through much of chapter 19, Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem. Luke will remind us again and again that Jesus is on the way. He is not He is not He is not He is pressing on.     Ancient Context: The Servant With a Flint Face Isaiah 50 gives us the background. The Servant of the Lord says He gave His back to those who struck Him, / His cheeks to those who pulled out His beard, / and His face to humiliation and spitting. Then He says, “Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone.” That is the spirit of Luke 9:51. Jesus knew humiliation was coming. / He knew suffering was coming. / He knew the cross was coming. / Yet He set His face like flint. This is not stubbornness. Stubbornness can be foolish. This is holy resolve. This is obedience anchored in the Father's will. Object Lesson: Flint and Clay Hold two objects: a piece of soft clay and a slate. Clay can be pressed, shaped, bent, and changed by almost any outside force. But flint is firm. It holds its edge.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the gospel wasn't about something new, but about restoring something ancient? In this teaching, Dr. R. L. Solberg carefully examines the claims of Divorce & Remarriage Theology by testing them against Scripture. Does the Bible really teach that God married Israel at Sinai, divorced His bride, died to overcome a legal dilemma, and then remarried Israel? Or has an extra-biblical framework been imposed on the biblical text?

The Gospel of John opens not in Bethlehem, not in Nazareth, not with Mary or Joseph, but in eternity past: “In the beginning was the Word.” John does not begin with the cradle, he begins with the Godhead. Matthew presents Jesus as King, Mark as Servant, Luke as the Son of man, but John presents Him as God manifest in the flesh. That is the battleground. Every cult, every false religion, every counterfeit Bible, and every antichrist spirit eventually attacks the deity of Jesus Christ. John answers them before they even speak: the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, John's Gospel is built around belief. The word “believe” appears again and again because John is pressing the reader toward a verdict. You are not allowed to casually admire Jesus in this book. You must decide who He is. Is He merely a teacher, prophet, healer, revolutionary, or religious example? John says no. He is the eternal Word, the Creator, the Light, the Lamb of God, the Bread of life, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John strips away religious fog and brings the sinner face to face with the only Saviour God has provided. A verse-by-verse study through John should constantly point out how the book divides between light and darkness, belief and unbelief, life and death, truth and religious blindness. The Pharisees had Scripture, temple worship, priesthood, sacrifice, feast days, and religious authority — yet they rejected the very Messiah standing in front of them. That is one of John's sharpest warnings. Religion without the new birth is still darkness. Nicodemus was a master of Israel, but Jesus told him plainly, “Ye must be born again.” The woman at the well had a ruined past, but she received living water. The religious ruler needed regeneration just as much as the fallen Samaritan woman did. This is Part #3 in our verse-by-verse series of the Gospel of John.

Message By Mike Laughrun 

The message teaches that Stephen was a powerful servant because he was full of faith, grace, and the Holy Spirit's power. His service—whether practical tasks like meeting needs or bold spiritual ministry—flowed from his relationship with Jesus. The pastor emphasizes that all service in the church, from teaching to setting up chairs, is spiritual work that matters to God, and every believer is called not to sit but to serve.

In this episode, we explore the biblical foundation and practical aspects of service within the church, emphasizing that service begins with attitude and extends to meeting needs through various forms like giving, volunteering, and encouragement.

Part Two: Stephan Bajaio on Digital VisibilityAnika continues her conversation with Stephan Bajaio, diving deeper into what it really means to lead people in a way that outlasts you. Moving beyond business strategy, this episode explores the human side of leadership—passion, failure, servant leadership, mindfulness, and the balance between "vibe" and "logic" that defines sustainable team culture.In this conversation, Stephan shares his framework for leadership rooted in four core beliefs, his daily Tefillin practice and gratitude ritual, why Performance Improvement Plans are misused as firing mechanisms, and how parenting a daughter influences his approach to building confident, empowered teams.In This EpisodeThe four pillars of leadership: passion, failure, servant leadership, and empowermentWhy passion can't be taught—only discoveredCreating environments where vulnerability and failure are welcomed, not punishedFlipping the org chart: servant leadership as a behavior, not a positionHow to empower people in small doses and build their confidence through affirmationThe myth of PIPs as firing tools—and how they actually transform performanceWhy not every high performer should become a managerThe "human being" vs. "human doing" trap and how to escape itDaily mindfulness practices: Tefillin, gratitude, and intentionalityVibe + Logic: the duality that defines sustainable businessWhy your company culture is defined by how people leave, not how they arriveKey Timestamps02:28 – The four pillars of leadership begin04:01 – Failure is not only welcome, it's expected08:58 – Leadership is a behavior, not a position13:09 – Empower your people first—in small doses with follow-up affirmation18:51 – PIPs aren't meant to fire someone—that's corporate nonsense31:00 – The "human being" vs. "human doing" trap and daily mindfulness practice43:06 – Building confident, independent women and team members44:40 – Vibe + Logic: the duality that defines sustainable business50:00 – Stephan to participate in upcoming AI and workforce skills podcastsKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Passion Is Discovered, Not TaughtThe most valuable asset in leadership can't be developed through training programs. It has to exist within people. Stephan's approach to hiring is built on understanding what motivates people—what gets them up in the morning—because that's the fuel that carries them through failure and challenges.Insight 2: Leadership Is a Behavior, Not a PositionThe title doesn't make you a leader. Your actions do. Servant leadership means flipping the traditional org chart so your job becomes supporting those around you, not commanding from above. This shift in mindset changes everything about how teams respond to you.Insight 3: Empower in Small Doses, Then AffirmDon't just hand someone a big responsibility and walk away. Give them leadership opportunities in manageable pieces, then follow up with genuine affirmation. The power of a thank you is shocking—people often overlook how much courage it took someone to step outside their comfort zone.Insight 4: PIPs Should Improve, Not FirePerformance Improvement Plans are routinely misused as mechanisms to force people out. When done right, PIPs actually transform performance. Stephan has seen people on PIPs become star players because they understood the company wasn't trying to get rid of them—it was trying to help them succeed.Insight 5: Your Culture Is Defined by How People LeaveThe way employees exit your company says more about your culture than how you bring them in. If you're not celebrating the alumni who've gone on to bigger things, you're missing the point. People aren't assets to trap—they're people to empower.Insight 6: Being Requires Daily PracticeIt's too easy to go through life doing without ever being present. Stephan's two-year Tefillin practice—binding, prayer, gratitude—forces him to stop and recognize what he's grateful for.

You need both—a Picasso without a frame is worthless, and a frame without art is empty.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. “Each One Lift One” is the way we roll here! Recently I introduced my friend, Eliza Young (the genius behind my Quarter Moon Story Arts logo and soon-to-be-revealed overhauled website) and the author of Life in Captivity to my other friend and podcast colleague Steve Ramona of Doing Business With a Servant's Heart. It was a match! Their powerful and poignant conversation highlights this truth: “You can't change what happened to you; but you can choose where you go in the future.”   From the June 11th 2026 Episode Notes: “In this deeply moving episode of Doing Business with a Servant's Heart, Steve Ramona sits down with Eliza Young, author of Life in Captivity, a memoir born from a childhood marked by medical trauma, family conflict, repeated separation, and the long road back to self-trust. Their conversation is a splendid reminder that this season of your life is not the whole story.” Click this LINK to access the episode on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKbEuVR4HGs] Connect with Eliza Young:  Web: https://substack.com/@captivatingeliza  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCodDmXVVWdOCGrePbSevQDw    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeliza   Connect with Steve Ramona:  Web: https://steveramona.com/  LinkedIn:   https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona  IG: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/  Podcast: https://www.servinginbusinesspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkgN4ZO83lPjCJtuv0LeOJw Eliza: https://youtu.be/MKbEuVR4HGs And thank you for listening.  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

The Gospel of John opens not in Bethlehem, not in Nazareth, not with Mary or Joseph, but in eternity past: “In the beginning was the Word.” John does not begin with the cradle, he begins with the Godhead. Matthew presents Jesus as King, Mark as Servant, Luke as the Son of man, but John presents Him as God manifest in the flesh. That is the battleground. Every cult, every false religion, every counterfeit Bible, and every antichrist spirit eventually attacks the deity of Jesus Christ. John answers them before they even speak: the Word was with God, and the Word was God.“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, John's Gospel is built around belief. The word “believe” appears again and again because John is pressing the reader toward a verdict. You are not allowed to casually admire Jesus in this book. You must decide who He is. Is He merely a teacher, prophet, healer, revolutionary, or religious example? John says no. He is the eternal Word, the Creator, the Light, the Lamb of God, the Bread of life, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John strips away religious fog and brings the sinner face to face with the only Saviour God has provided. A verse-by-verse study through John should constantly point out how the book divides between light and darkness, belief and unbelief, life and death, truth and religious blindness. The Pharisees had Scripture, temple worship, priesthood, sacrifice, feast days, and religious authority — yet they rejected the very Messiah standing in front of them. That is one of John's sharpest warnings. Religion without the new birth is still darkness. Nicodemus was a master of Israel, but Jesus told him plainly, “Ye must be born again.” The woman at the well had a ruined past, but she received living water. The religious ruler needed regeneration just as much as the fallen Samaritan woman did. This is Part #2 in our verse-by-verse series of the Gospel of John.

With Tom on vacation, Chris and Glenn welcome back Kemper Crabb to talk about his father, who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times, along with Kemper’s experiences on missions to India with his dad, his dealings with the invisible world, and how all of this relates to Reformed theology. Kemper offers valuable insights and experiences that many will find challenging but that are thoroughly grounded in Scripture. 5:49 PM Great, thank you!

Message By Mike Laughrun 

Isaiah 53:3–7 Our culture lionizes the powerful, the aggressive, and the bold. Meekness is mistaken for weakness, and silence under pressure is seen as defeat. But centuries before the cross, Isaiah described a Servant who would be despised, rejected, and silent—and through whose wounds we would be healed. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute. Find your hope in the Lamb who was slain for you. True strength is not the absence of suffering but the willingness to bear it for others.

God wants to transform you into who He has made you to be. It starts with surrender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kingdom-Based Fivefold Ministry 1 – Apostles: Foundational Issues Part 3 | KIB 537 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Counterfeit Christianity Is Being Exposed | Biblical Discernment & the Restoration of True Fivefold Ministry The Body of Christ is entering one of the greatest seasons of testing, purification, and discernment in history. In this powerful episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #537, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine the growing spiritual deception affecting the modern Church while revealing God's plan to restore authentic biblical ministry before the days ahead. They discuss the increasing influence of counterfeit spirituality, occult infiltration, false ministry models, artificial intelligence, spiritual warfare, and the urgent need for believers to return to Scripture, covenant faithfulness, and the fear of the Lord. Dr. Lake also begins an important teaching on the biblical understanding of the Fivefold Ministry from Ephesians 4, separating modern traditions from the original Hebraic understanding of apostleship, prophetic ministry, and servant leadership. If the Church is to stand during the shaking that lies ahead, believers must develop true biblical discernment and become firmly rooted in the Word of God rather than being carried away by deception. This episode offers practical encouragement for every believer seeking to walk faithfully with Christ in these prophetic days.

Philippians 2:5-8 Self-promotion is so natural we barely notice it. We angle for recognition, guard our reputations, and resist situations that might diminish our status. But Jesus—who had every reason to insist on His position—chose the opposite path entirely. From Philippians 2:5–8, Pastor Chuck Swindoll unpacks one of the most majestic passages in Scripture: how Jesus, though existing in the very form of God, emptied Himself, took the form of a bond-servant, and humbled Himself to death on a cross. Let this portrait of Christ confront your own pride. Have the same attitude—and live with the freedom that comes with a servant's heart.
