Podcasts about Serving

Today our guest is Kendrick Claxton, Vice Principal at Central Middle School in Kansas City Public Schools. We talk about how positive school culture is built through systems that create belonging, safety, and consistent adult support. Kendrick shares how mentorship, trusted adults, and simple daily practices help students feel seen and supported. He highlights how consistency, not grand gestures, drives stronger engagement, safer schools, and better outcomes for students and staff. In this conversation, Kendrick offers clear answers to questions school leaders are asking every day: A sense of belonging is built when every student has a trusted adult and experiences consistent care. Simple systems like threshold greetings, and student feedback strengthen school culture and safety. Consistency matters more than programs because it creates psychological safety for students and staff. Strong mentorship supports higher engagement, fewer behavior incidents, and stronger academic outcomes.   Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!

Healthy habits are one of the greatest gifts we can give our children because habits quietly shape what they love and who they become. In this episode, Davies Owens is joined by Jeff Hendricks, headmaster at Providence Christian School of Texas, for a practical conversation about how formation happens through repeated, everyday actions.Jeff defines a habit as a repeated action that becomes instinctive. It begins with conscious effort, but over time it becomes automatic, like driving a car. That matters because the virtues we hope to see in adulthood, generosity, courage, hospitality, do not appear overnight. They are built through small faithful practices.A key theme throughout the conversation is that there is no neutral setting. Every child is learning habits of one kind or another, intentionally or passively. Jeff also addresses a common misconception: habit formation can sound harsh or overly strict, but discipline on the front end leads to freedom later. Like musicians and athletes, children gain joyful confidence when foundational skills become second nature.Jeff shares several “best of” habits Providence emphasizes with families:Prayer and reading God's Word: not necessarily formal or elaborate, sometimes simply reading Scripture together and praying. The point is consistency and priority.Attention: children cannot learn without it. Jeff offers practical ways to train attention at home, including multi-step instructions, narration, picture study, and observation exercises.Obedience: responding right away and all the way, with the understanding that respectful questions can happen at the right time. This trains children to relate rightly to God-given authority.Neatness and orderliness: restoring order to a space and to routines, even when it takes more time than doing it yourself.Serving others: training children to defer preferences and practice small acts of service that slowly reorient the heart away from self.Working hard and doing your best: building a “work before play” rhythm, teaching excellence without overwork, and helping children grow into wise self-management.In closing, Jeff encourages educators to keep habits simple and intentional, and he encourages parents that it is never too late to begin. Start where you are, choose one habit, and keep it steady. Often the best change is the one you quietly begin and faithfully continue.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupWisephone by TechlessZipCastWilson Hill Academy Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

We're unpacking one of the most infamous paranormal conspiracies in U.S. history: the Philadelphia Experiment. During World War II, the Navy allegedly attempted to make a warship invisible—and instead triggered something terrifying. After a flash of green light, possible time travel and teleportation, the sailors who survived returned mentally shattered and physically disfigured. Serving as a chilling prequel to last week's episode on the Montauk Project, this story spirals into secret experiments, an unsettling connection between the two, and a possible bridge through time. Was it all a hoax—or did an event in 1980 help complete a 1940s experiment?

What if changing the world didn't require doing big, heroic things—but simply showing up with love? In this episode of Catholic Moms in the Middle, I sit down with my friend, Lisa Link, for a beautiful, hope-filled conversation about serving others through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Lisa opens up about how simple acts of service such as listening to someone's story, offering a small gift card, praying with a neighbor in need have transformed not only the lives of those she serves, but her own heart, faith, and marriage. This episode will inspire you to: See the face of Christ in everyday encounters Rediscover compassion, gratitude, and presence Believe that small acts done with great love truly matter If you've ever wondered how God might be calling you to serve right where you are, this conversation will gently stir your heart and remind you: you don't have to do great things—just little things, with great love. Jennie Guinn is a Catholic life coach and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle. She accompanies midlife women through divorce, grief, and major life transitions, helping them encounter God's healing and rediscover their purpose.

Africa's beauty and personal care industry is growing, as more people look to achieve glowing skin and the perfect make up look.

There are more billionaires than ever. Rockstars. Oil tycoons. Internet entrepreneurs. And all of them - all of them - employ private staff. The age of Jeeves and Wooster may be over, but the demand for a dependable butler remains. Lawrence McKenna has been serving the super-rich for three decades, including stints in private suites in London's poshest hotels and the Royal Enclosure at Ascot.

Brenda Darden Wilkerson's journey from pre-med student to computer science pioneer reveals how systemic inequities are created by human choice and can therefore be unmade by human action. When she discovered Chicago's third-largest school district had no computer science curriculum, she recognized this was not an educational gap but deliberate exclusion—a policy decision that robbed marginalized communities and the entire innovation ecosystem of untapped talent and perspective. Her founding of Computer Science for All, which inspired the Obama administration's national initiative, proved that incremental changes generate momentum for systemic transformation. At AnitaB.org, Wilkerson applies rigorous data-driven insights that challenge corporate inaction. Decades of research prove diverse teams reach profitability faster and innovate more effectively, yet companies ignore these facts because equity feels like surrendering power. From women's health innovations to AI bias, Wilkerson demonstrates that systemic inequities operate through power structures that determine whose needs warrant resources and attention, making the inclusion of diverse perspectives a practical necessity for innovation, not merely a moral imperative. Brenda Wilkerson's mission across education, technology, healthcare, and algorithmic justice reflects her conviction that meaningful change requires confronting biases and building coordinated efforts across institutions. To engage with her work and connect with a global community of women in technology driving systemic change, visit AnitaB.org or connect with Brenda directly on LinkedIn. Her persistent advocacy proves that equity cannot be achieved in isolation—it requires people willing to ask difficult questions and challenge assumptions in pursuit of systems that genuinely serve everyone.

Serving ultra-high-net-worth families requires more than technical expertise. It demands deep attention to detail, a strong supporting team, and a planning approach capable of navigating complex tax, estate, and investment structures. This episode explores what it really takes for advisors to successfully move 'upmarket' and support clients whose financial lives involve high stakes, fast-moving parts, and opportunities measured in millions. Blair duQuesnay is a Lead Advisor at Ritholtz Wealth Management, an RIA based in New York City that oversees $6.5 billion in AUM for 3,900 households. Listen in as Blair shares how she transitioned from working with traditional wealth-management clients to serving ultra-high-net-worth families, and what she learned about applying advanced expertise in real-world scenarios where accuracy and timeliness are critical. You'll hear why flat-fee models often make more sense than AUM fees at the highest wealth levels, how she demonstrates multimillion-dollar planning value through sophisticated tax and estate strategies, and how UHNW clients' biggest fear isn't running out of money but making a catastrophic financial mistake. We also discuss how Blair manages impostor syndrome, the confidence that comes from having a strong team behind her, and why advisors can thrive with any client segment as long as they intentionally choose the work they enjoy most.

When African American servicemen went to fight in the Vietnam War, discrimination and prejudice followed them. Even in a faraway country, their military experiences were shaped by the racial environment of the home front. War is often viewed as a crucible that can transform society, but American race relations proved remarkably durable. In Race in the Crucible of War: African American Servicemen and the War in Vietnam (U Massachusetts Press, 2023), Gerald F. Goodwin examines how Black servicemen experienced and interpreted racial issues during their time in Vietnam. Drawing on more than fifty new oral interviews and significant archival research, as well as newspapers, periodicals, memoirs, and documentaries, Goodwin reveals that for many African Americans the front line and the home front were two sides of the same coin. Serving during the same period as the civil rights movement and the race riots in Chicago, Detroit, and dozens of other American cities, these men increasingly connected the racism that they encountered in the barracks and on the battlefields with the tensions and violence that were simmering back home.

Serving isn't about volunteering our leftover time — it's about living with the mindset of a servant. In this message, we're reminded that everything we have belongs to God, and a fully devoted life puts the needs of others above comfort, recognition, and convenience. Watch and lean into what it really means to follow Jesus through humble, joyful service.

We are saved by grace through faith, not by what we do. So why do we have to serve? We don't serve to get saved, we serve because we are saved. Jesus served us, and we serve people too as our lives are changed by God's grace.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, January 25, 2026, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

In this message from our FULFILLED journey through Luke, Pastor Clayton teaches Luke 4:38–39, where Jesus heals Simon Peter's mother-in-law in a quiet, intimate moment after the synagogue.We see the Kingdom Way on display—not spectacle, but compassion. Jesus stands over the vulnerable, rebukes sickness with authority, restores what was lost, and calls people back into purpose. This passage reveals a powerful pattern for every believer: Healing, Rising, and Serving.If you've been healed by Jesus but hesitant to fully rise and follow, this message calls you to step out of the sickbed and into the life God restored you for.

Guest Author: Paul GregoryHeadline: A Tale of Two Funerals: Burial and DelusionSummary: While the world watched JFK's funeral, a small group buried Lee Harvey Oswald, with reporters serving as pallbearers. The Gregory family's Thanksgiving was overshadowed by the trauma and Margarite Oswald's erratic behavior, as she clashed with agents and insisted on her son's innocence.Article: As the nation mourned President Kennedy, Marina and Margarite struggled to bury Lee in a grim ceremony where reporters had to carry the coffin, with Marina devastated by the contrast between her husband's end and the televised images of the Kennedy family. The Gregory family spent a foggy Thanksgiving recovering from the ordeal, discussing Margarite's delusional assertions that she was being persecuted by the very Secret Service agents trying to protect her, behavior that highlighted the dysfunction she passed down to her son.

This month's commentary podcast has us looking at a retrospective rerecording of selections from the catalog of Absolute Body Control - the Belgian minimal synth project helmed by Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem in the years before the pair would go on to shape all manner of industrial-related sub-genres. Serving as an introduction to their sound to many (including us!), "Wind[Re]Wind" offered a chance to explore the roots of electronic pioneers while offering them the chance to rethink and represent their sound in light of their lengthy histories.

Sam is joined by Sha Racks and John Scarborough for an episode that quickly descends into chaos, led by the infamous Forbidden Serving story—a well-intentioned act of “helping” that becomes deeply uncomfortable for everyone watching and perfectly sets the tone for the episode. From summer camps gone horribly wrong and youth group games that should've been stopped immediately, to moments where leaders say the absolute worst possible thing at the worst possible time, this episode is packed with stories that live in the gray area between good intentions and terrible outcomes. Add in public embarrassments, injuries that escalated fast, and situations where no one quite knew how to intervene until it was far too late, and you get an episode that proves youth group logic makes sense to absolutely no one once you say it out loud.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summary  Curtis sits down again with Dave Menz—now fully branded as The Laundromat Millionaire—to get the real 2026 update: what's changed, what's working, and why laundromats are still one of the strongest small-business plays in America.

Guest: Brenda Wineapple. Fundamentalist Judge John T. Raulston presided over the trial, enjoying the publicity brought by loudspeakers and radio coverage. The defense included civil liberties lawyer Arthur Garfield Hayes, a secular Jew, serving as a constitutional anchor.
