In this episode, Tiger McLuen helps rethink student discipleship and looks at “faith factors” in young adults. Tiger served in student ministry in the local church and oversaw the youth and family ministry programs at Bethel and Luther seminaries. Now the executive director of Youth Ministry Consultants (YMC), who focuses on coaching and training ministry leaders, particularly those in smaller churches who are often under-trained and under-resourced. Tiger focused on and researched young adults who did not leave the church or the faith to gain insights into rethinking student discipleship. While church attendance may be great, it doesn't measure faith. He shares his “Seven Faith Factors” findings, specifically with small churches, to encourage discipleship efforts. Tiger reminds us that these factors are not a guarantee, but are key for discipleship and spiritual formation. He closes the episode by sharing two encouragements, one for families and one for churches to both take an active role in students' and young adults' lives.

Here I offer a guided meditation through what is known in the buddhist tradition as the seven factors (or facets) of awakening: Mindfulness, Curiosity, Energy, Joy, Tranquility, Concentration, and Equanimity. As the practice unfolds we are invited to touch in with these qualities, which are always available, and we offer the light of awareness as nourishment to the seeds of awakening latent in our heart. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 38 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books.

In Pulitzer-nominated sportswriter Sally Jenkins' experience, great leaders are less in the business of winning than the business of teaching. Over a wide-ranging conversation, Maril and Sally explore the leadership lessons Sally has learned from a career interviewing and writing about the world's great athletes and coaches. They discuss why discipline is something that leaders can't impose, but have to call up from within people; why it's less important to take a popular position than a good position; and why leadership is less like holding the steering wheel and more like conducing an orchestra. Learn about: 3:18 The leadership factor with the most impact 6:21 Why winning isn't the only motivator for leaders 7:49 Why discipline is misunderstood and an interior construct 24:44 What leaders most need to let go of — Sally Jenkins began her second stint at The Washington Post in 2000 after spending the previous decade working as a book author and as a magazine writer. She was named the nation's top sports columnist in 2001, 2003, 2010 and 2011 by the Associated Press Sports Editors. In 2013, she won a first-place award from the AP for an investigative series co-written with Rick Maese on medical care in the NFL, titled “Do No Harm.” Jenkins is the author of 12 books, four of which were New York Times bestsellers, most recently the No.1 “Sum It Up” with legendary basketball coach Pat Summitt. She is also the author of “The Real All Americans,” the historical account of how the Carlisle Indian School took on the Ivy League powers in college football at the turn of the century and won. Her work has been featured in Smithsonian, GQ and Sports Illustrated. A native of Texas, Jenkins graduated from Stanford and lives in Sag Harbor, New York.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Basic instructions in developing concentration and stability, on the one hand, and mindfulness, on the other, are given in the context of the teaching of the Seven Factors of Awakening; concentration and mindfulness are two of the seven factors. We also explore inquiry or investigation, a third factor, in the context of mindfulness.
(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We examine first the Buddha's teachings about awakening, We see how he understands the process as involving two processes. We are mindful of and work through what gets in the way of touching our natural awakening—greed, hatred, and delusion (or the two forms of reactivity—grasping after the pleasant and pushing away the unpleasant, along with ignorance about the nature of impermanence, reactivity or Dukkha, and not-self). We also develop those qualities which both support and manifest awakening, qualities identified in the teaching of the Seven Factors of Awakening. We see further how the Buddha at times identified the nature of awakened awareness as “signless, boundless, all-luminous,” and trace similar accounts of awakened awareness in the Thai Forest tradition and Tibetan Dzogchen and Mahāmudrā. Then we ask the question about whether these wonderful teachings and associated practices are sufficient for awakening in the contemporary world. We point to how such teachings and practices are crucial but also need to be complemented by and integrated with a contemporary map of awakening, identifying forms of contemporary conditioning (and greed, hatred, and delusion) that are not found in the traditional account. Broadly speaking, we can identify two inter-related core areas—a first identifying more “psychological” conditioning, and more “social” conditioning (for example, around gender, race, sexual orientation, age, etc.). The talk is followed by discussion.
