From Trump's power serves to Biden's unforced errors, from the BLM protests' net violations to the Me Too movement's questionable calls, our hosts have provided play-by-play commentary on eight years of political theater.

The mediation process can be tailored to the needs of the participants and the mediator. In fact, the process can evolve a bit over the course of multiple mediation sessions.The process can be focused on a very specific, time-limited, dispute that has erupted. Or it can be all about damaging simmering tensions that are lurking beneath the surface – with no blow-up … yet. Different situations, different approaches. The framework can be structured to the needs and goals. Will we even use the word “mediation”?  In my work, at times the word itself is thought to sound too harsh. Serving the people in conflict well is the whole point. Taking full advantage of mediation's beautiful flexibility furthers that goal. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools opened in Sacramento in 2014 with high ideals — to help adult students, many formerly incarcerated or new immigrants, to earn a diploma, improve English language skills, or learn a trade. Now, the school is an example lawmakers and advocates point to as a reason for increasing charter school oversight. A state audit found the charter received millions of dollars in funding for which it was not eligible, assigned teachers to classes they were not credentialed to teach, and avoided standardized testing, in addition to spending on non-education-related items such as a trip to Paris and leasing a semi-professional ballpark.

We exist to disciple young adults to build their lives devoted to Jesus in order to make generational kingdom impact. This podcast is an audio archive of our Thursday night Young Adults Gathering.

Each believer has been uniquely equipped by God with spiritual gifts meant to build up the body of Christ. In Romans 12:5-8, Paul emphasizes that every gift matters equally—whether serving, teaching, encouraging, or leading. Our call is not to compare but to faithfully use what God has entrusted to us. In today's prayer and devotional, Laura Bailey reminds us that awakening our spiritual gifts often begins with noticing the needs around us and asking the Holy Spirit to empower us to respond. When we live this way, we reveal Christ’s love, glorify God, and experience the joy of serving in unity with others. Even children can learn this truth. As Laura shared with her daughters, embracing each other’s strengths helps us see the beauty of God’s design for the body of Christ. Our gifts were never meant to be hidden; they are meant to be shared. Today's Bible Reading: "So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” – Romans 12:5-8, NIV Key Takeaways Every believer has spiritual gifts given by God’s grace for the benefit of the whole body. No gift is more valuable than another—each has purpose in God’s design. The Holy Spirit equips us for needs in the moment, sometimes beyond our natural strengths. Serving with our gifts is an act of worship, pointing others to Jesus. Let’s Pray Heavenly Father, thank You for creating us uniquely and entrusting us with spiritual gifts. Help us embrace these gifts with joy and diligence, using them to serve others and glorify You. Forgive us for comparing or criticizing instead of celebrating how You’ve made each of us. Lead us to action, working in unity with others, so that the world may see Your love on display. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for daily encouragement.

In this deeply moving episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, host Wendy Jones is joined by life coach, speaker, and author Lori Pulliam to explore the eternal perspective on aging. Together, they challenge the cultural narrative that aging is decline—and instead reveal the spiritual truth: aging is preparation, not punishment. From biblical insights to personal reflections, Lori and Wendy talk about honor, presence, legacy, and the call to “be” rather than just do. They discuss why honoring our elders isn’t optional—it’s commanded—and how small acts of love and listening can transform someone’s final chapter into their most meaningful. If you’ve ever struggled with the idea of aging—or want to better support those who are—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Key Takeaways: Aging is not a sign of being forgotten—it’s preparation for eternity. The cultural obsession with youth distorts how we see value and worth. Honor is a commandment, not something earned. Presence is a gift: be with your loved ones, not just near them. Serving our seniors is both a privilege and a responsibility. Caring for aging parents is not a burden—it’s an opportunity to love well. Learn more : https://nextsteps4seniors.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cat & Cloud Coffee makes a mean breakfast burrito — and, of course, a great cup of java.But that's not the main reason Jared Truby founded the Santa Cruz, California, coffee shop.“I like creating things that people can feel connected to and authentic in,” Jared says. “What ended up spawning from that is just how can we create authenticity and a unique connection for not only the people who come in, but for the people who work together?”At Cat & Cloud, “authenticity” and “connection” aren't just buzzwords. They're the foundation of a business that strives to care for and develop its employees — all employees, full or part-time, get paid vacation, benefits, and autonomy grow into the roles that are right for them — as well as serve its community.It's less about running a coffee shop and more about being a leader. “One of our jobs as leaders is to show people that there is value outside of the workplace if you learn and dive into the things that we're trying to teach you,” Jared says. “And I think when it clicks, people start saying, ‘Oh, nice. Like, it doesn't suck to work here, and I'm actually becoming a better person.'”Listen in as Jared shares more about the origin of Cat & Cloud coffee, its mission, and the challenges and rewards of building a small business centered around growth and connection. –Cat & Cloud: https://catandcloud.com/–Infinitely Scalable Podcast: Helping entrepreneurs, creatives, and humans everywhere find freedom.

Full Text of ReadingsTwenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 129The Saint of the day is Blessed Frdric OzanamBlessed Frédéric Ozanam’s Story A man convinced of the inestimable worth of each human being, Frédéric served the poor of Paris well, and drew others into serving the poor of the world. Through the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, which he founded, his work continues to the present day. Frédéric Ozanam was the fifth of Jean and Marie Ozanam's 14 children, one of only three to reach adulthood. As a teenager he began having doubts about his religion. Reading and prayer did not seem to help, but long walking discussions with Father Noirot of the Lyons College clarified matters a great deal. Frédéric wanted to study literature, although his father, a doctor, wanted him to become a lawyer. Frédéric yielded to his father's wishes and in 1831, arrived in Paris to study law at the University of the Sorbonne. When certain professors there mocked Catholic teachings in their lectures, Frédéric defended the Church. A discussion club which Frédéric organized sparked the turning point in his life. In this club, Catholics, atheists, and agnostics debated the issues of the day. Once, after Frédéric spoke about Christianity's role in civilization, a club member said: “Let us be frank, Mr. Ozanam; let us also be very particular. What do you do besides talk to prove the faith you claim is in you?” Frédéric Ozanam was stung by the question. He soon decided that his words needed a grounding in action. He and a friend began visiting Paris tenements and offering assistance as best they could. Soon a group dedicated to helping individuals in need under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul formed around Frédéric. Feeling that the Catholic faith needed an excellent speaker to explain its teachings, Frédéric convinced the Archbishop of Paris to appoint Dominican Father Jean-Baptiste Lacordaire, the greatest preacher then in France, to preach a Lenten series in Notre Dame Cathedral. It was well-attended and became an annual tradition in Paris. After Frédéric Ozanam earned his law degree at the Sorbonne, he taught law at the University of Lyons. He also earned a doctorate in literature. Soon after marrying Amelie Soulacroix on June 23, 1841, he returned to the Sorbonne to teach literature. A well-respected lecturer, Frédéric worked to bring out the best in each student. Meanwhile, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society was growing throughout Europe. Paris alone counted 25 conferences. In 1846, Frédéric, Amelie, and their daughter Marie went to Italy; there he hoped to restore his poor health. They returned the next year. The revolution of 1848 left many Parisians in need of the services of the Saint Vincent de Paul conferences. The unemployed numbered 275,000. The government asked Frédéric and his coworkers to supervise the government aid to the poor. Vincentians throughout Europe came to the aid of Paris. Frédéric then started a newspaper, The New Era, dedicated to securing justice for the poor and the working classes. Fellow Catholics were often unhappy with what Frédéric wrote. Referring to the poor man as “the nation's priest,” Frédéric said that the hunger and sweat of the poor formed a sacrifice that could redeem the people's humanity. In 1852, poor health again forced Frédéric to return to Italy with his wife and daughter. He died on September 8, 1853. In his sermon at Frédéric's funeral, Fr. Lacordaire described his friend as “one of those privileged creatures who came direct from the hand of God in whom God joins tenderness to genius in order to enkindle the world.” Frédéric was beatified in 1997. Since Frédéric wrote an excellent book entitled Franciscan Poets of the Thirteenth Century, and since his sense of the dignity of each poor person was so close to the thinking of Saint Francis, it seemed appropriate to include him among Franciscan “greats.” His liturgical feast is celebrated on September 9. Reflection Frédéric Ozanam always respected the poor while offering whatever service he could. Each man, woman, and child was too precious to live in poverty. Serving the poor taught Frédéric something about God that he could not have learned elsewhere. Learn more about the legacy of Frédéric Ozanam! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In Part 4 of our Rebel Scum Con experience, we go behind the scenes with MORE talented artists who gave life to a few of our favorite Star Wars characters. We sat down with Toby Philpott, one of the puppeteers behind the massive Jabba the Hutt. From controlling Jabba's grotesque expressions to (maybe?) licking Princess Leia, his stories from the set are not only fascinating but filled with tips and tricks for any aspiring puppeteers out there. Next up, Femi Taylor, who played the ill-fated (but always fabulous) Oola, shares her experience on the set of RETURN OF THE JEDI. She dives into what it was like returning to the role years later and how the character still connects with fans today.. And if that wasn't cool enough, Howie Weed gives us a detailed look at his time inside the suit of the terrifying Wampa, and shares his experience with George Lucas directing! Howie even drops a hint or two about the Wampa's survival odds after that little run-in with Luke Skywalker. Each guest was incredibly generous with their time and insights, offering a mix of behind-the-scenes stories, performance techniques, and even a dash of "what if" when it comes to the fate of their characters. We couldn't get enough. Each interview is also available separately on our YouTube channel—subscribe here. Rebel Scum Con, held August 8-10, 2025 is a fan-run event which means the organizers knew exactly what we wanted! Throughout the next month we are sharing ALL that content, so look up episode 525 to and 526 for more interviews. TODAY in Star Wars History 9/2/2014 11 years ago...
