In a different focus on women's football, Dave caught up with Glasgow Caledonian University's Professor Fiona Skillen. While most of our focus on this podcast so far has been on the current developments in the SWPL or with the women's Scottish National Team, Professor Skillen was named BBC Woman Expert in 2014 for her research on women's sport history. As well as discussing Fiona's own work, we go into detail of some key areas of the history of women's football in Scotland. From wartime football, to Rutherglen Ladies, to the only country to turn down women's football in the 1970s, as well as some upcoming books, there's more than a few topics covered that might help shine a light on some of the challenges that the game still faces today.

GCU Sports Historian Dr Fiona Skillen and Richard McBrearty, a curator at the Scottish Football Museum, join the Common Good Podcast to talk about a new exhibition celebrating Rutherglen Ladies FC, a trailblazing women's football side from the 1920s and 1930s who paved the way for today's superstars. Dr Skillen and Richard discuss how Rutherglen Ladies FC's story had been forgotten until very recently, the rise and fall of the club, and how and why this discovery has "rewritten the history books" about women's football.

In a nation that prizes private ownership and individualism, isn't it ironic that the federal government owns 28% of the surface land? The battle over public land has become a flashpoint for conservatives. How did we get to that point?

PhD researcher Lauren Beatty and sports historian Dr Fiona Skillen join the Common Good Podcast to talk about a new study that charts the development in women's golf in Scotland over the past four decades. The pair touch on their findings and how they can be used in a practical context, before exploring how the women's game began (and busting a few myths along the way). They also discuss what golf must do to attract more female players.

A healthy small group ministry is a crucial part of the American church today--especially for larger churches. As we grow in our faith, we all need a smaller group of friends where we can study Scripture and laugh, as well as be there for each other during hard seasons. Small groups can often provide that space, but building a healthy ministry takes a lot of work and intentionality.Today our guest Joe Skillen shares some big picture ideas of how to lead small groups, but we also get into the details about how to choose a study, how often you should meet, pros and cons of open/closed groups, and much more. Whether your church already has a groups ministry or you're looking to start one soon, take advantage of this helpful insight from Joe! (And stick around to the end to get his hot takes on the NBA free agent season.)

Brian is a dancer. He found himself in Spain while on an international tour. The Camino called and he was changed forever. The story of his commitment to the scholarship of writing is reason enough to listen to this podcast. PLUS the pure joy of what the Camino has brought to Brian is just so inspiring. You can find the book at https://www.throughafieldofstars.com/

Brian John Skillen is a professional filmmaker, writer, and international dance instructor. His life has been strongly influenced by his many adventures around the world, but he says that the most profound one was his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. That inspired him to write his first book, which has received awards and gone on to be an Amazon Bestseller in several categories. He is just launching the second book in the series, and he's using the 'Kickstarter' platform to raise the funds for the project for it. An absorbing conversation!  

I loved getting to meet Brian Skillen and hear about the Caminos that inspired him to write the historical fiction and bestselling Camino book, The Way: Through a Field of Stars. He has some great Camino magic stories including his first arrival in Santiago and how his book came into being. He has overcome some big life challenges to become a world-class dancer and author. His first book just received the prestigious Eric Hoffer Book Award.  Now, he's ready to publish the follow-up book in his series, Back: Through a Field of Stars.  If you like what you hear in this interview, you can help him get his next book out into the world by supporting his  Kickstarter campaign.

On January 6th, 2021, when right wing supporters of Donald Trump staged an insurrection at the US Capitol building, they were participating in a long tradition of conservative rebellion with its roots in the West. Dr. James Skillen, associate professor of environmental studies at Calvin University, traces those roots in his new book, This Land is My Land: Rebellion in the West (Oxford University Press, 2020).  By the late 20th century, the Bureau of Land Management owned and managed huge swaths of some western states. Skillen argues that change in the regulatory environment, with a new emphasis on ecosystem and wildlife management beginning in the 1970s, combined with a groundswell of conservative support to foment armed rebellion against perceived government overreach among ranchers, small-time miners, and other western resource users.  When Ammon Bundy and his family staged a takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon in 2014, it was just the latest episode in a series of rebellions across the West, some involving the Bundys themselves, in which federal officials exchanged gunfire with armed Western rebels. In many ways, argues Skillen, Trump’s election in 2016, built on votes in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania, was the culmination of a story that begins in the American West.

In many ways, argues Skillen, Trump’s election in 2016, built on votes in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania, was the culmination of a story that begins in the American West.

This podcast explores the Spanish-language dedication poems of nineteenth-century Latinas who exchanged verses in and across the borders of the United States. These verses stage conversations that tease out definitions of femininity and creative expression between women in the public space of the Spanish-language press, and thus before an audience of silent, male interlocutors. Sarah Skillen discusses the Cuban poet Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda and her 1846 poem “Contestando a otro de una señorita” [“Ballad Answering Another by a Young Lady”]. She and Vanessa Ovalle Perez then turn to an exchange of dedicatorias between the Panamanian poet Amelia Denis and San Francisco poet Carlota Gutierrez, which was printed from 1875 through 1876 in San Salvador and Los Angeles. Of particular interest is how these women participated in a growing, transnational network of poetisas writing to and for one other. This podcast also includes readings of these nineteenth-century dedicatorias in Spanish and in translation, performed respectively by the contemporary poets Liana Bravo, Lucy Cristina Chau, and Vanessa Angélica Villarreal. These readings are mobilized as a collaboration and performative dialogue between Latinas of past and present and between languages, Spanish and English. Episode produced by Vanessa Ovalle Perez, Sarah Skillen, Christine “Xine” Yao, and Matthew Teutsch. These poems in the original Spanish and translations by Perez and Skillen will be made available on the C19 website

If you love books, there is nothing better than talking books with Byron Borger. Byron has been talking books almost his whole life, and doing it well and for the good of Christ's kingdom. Since the early 80's, he and his wife Beth have, through Hearts and Minds Books in Dallastown, PA, lived out a mission to see the body of Christ encouraged and the world around them flourish. They believe that ideas matter and that books are an important part of Christian discipleship-- "a disciple is learner, after all," says Byron. Whether you're in his store, on the phone with him, or at one of the many conferences at which he and Beth serve, it is always a treat to talk books with Byron. We hope that this podcast gives you at least a taste of what that's like. Cross & Gavel host Mike Schutt wondered what books Byron would recommend during this crazy political season, and he and Byron spend some time talking about Byron's work, books in general, and books on politics. As usual, Byron is knowledgable, helpful, and light-hearted as he tosses out nearly 30 great recommendations on the topics of politics, vocation, leadership, and more. The conversation ranges widely, from Jamie Smith to CS Lewis; from Os Guinness to Katelyn Beaty; from James Skillen to Yuval Levin.  Join Mike and Byron as they talk books and books on politics. Then order a few of them from Hearts & Minds!  To subscribe to Byron's Booknotes Blog, click here. Mike Schutt is the host of Cross & Gavel, and he directs both Law Student Ministries and Attorney Ministries for the Christian Legal Society. He is an Associate Professor at Regent University School of Law. Meet Byron and Beth in person (and Mike, too!) at the Christian Legal Society National Conference, October 20-23 in Washington, DC.
