The American education system is a dumpster fire, and every administration has thrown additional logs and gasoline on the situation since the Department of Education was created half a century ago. Recently, the partnership with the pharmaceutical companies to drug children who don't want to sit patiently for eight hours a day is a stain on humanity. Barbie Rivera is a mother who fought the system when they tried to drug her six-year-old child simply because he didn't already know how to read. As a single mother of four children with no educational experience, she decided to homeschool her children instead, and her world changed. Now, 25 years later, her school has released hundreds of free-range children into the wild.

Kings and presidents and CEOs like to think that they make history but real history is actually made by thousands of small actions like this: a handful of grounds workers at a local school district refusing to handle South African chicken wire, multiplied around the globe until, eventually, the entire racist system of apartheid collapses.

Are you playing it too safe in your practice? Trying to help everyone with everything - afraid to draw a line in the sand? Here's the truth: If you don't take a stand, you'll blend into the background. And in today's crowded wellness space, that's the last thing you want. Think about the most well-known leaders in our field. They all have something in common: They're not afraid to plant their flag. Whether it's advocating for whole food nutrition, rejecting synthetic supplements, or challenging mainstream health narratives, these practitioners have built authority and trust by standing firm in their convictions. But here's where most wellness practitioners get stuck: They don't want to alienate anyone. So they play small, water down their message, and try to please everyone. And in doing so? They attract no one. I get it - having strong opinions can feel risky. But taking a stand isn't about being divisive. It's about being clear. It's about owning your expertise, backing it up with knowledge, and attracting the exact patients who need what you offer. Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅Why declaring your beliefs attracts the right patients (and repels the wrong ones - on purpose!) ✅ How to identify the hill you're willing to die on in your practice ✅Why your strong opinions make you an authority, not a liability ✅How to share your stance without being polarizing or alienating everyone Key Takeaways: ✨ Your strong opinions build trust & authority - Standing firm in your beliefs makes you a go-to expert, not a liability. ✨ Playing it safe attracts no one - Watering down your message won't help you grow. People connect with boldness & clarity. ✨ Clarity attracts the right patients - When you stand for something, the right people will be drawn to you - and the wrong ones will self-select out. ✨ Confidence in your message is key - Back your stance with knowledge, research, and patient outcomes, and watch your practice thrive. Here's Where You'll Find the Support You Need:

Brendan McFarlaneOn Tuesday we buried our friend and comrade Brendan McFarlane. Bik texted me just over 2 weeks or so ago to say he was back in hospital. He had been battling cancer for some time. A few days later the medics stopped his treatment. There was nothing else they could do for him. Suddenly and unexpectedly he was gone. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family.My solidarity and sympathy to Lene, a mighty woman, and to their children Emma, Tomás and Tina, his brother Gerard and the wider family circle. His loss for them is immeasurable. For his countless friends and comrades his death is a deep blow. Fáilte abhaile LeonardLeonard Peltier was finally released from prison in Florida last week. The 80-year-old political prisoner had spent almost the last 50 years in prison protesting his innocence. Leonard is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and he now on his reservation in North Dakota. His family and friends gathered to welcome him home. After his release he said: “They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!” and he thanked “all my supporters throughout the world who fought for my freedom.” Fáilte abhaile Leonard.Taking A Stand.The decision by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald and Leas Uachtarán Michelle O'Neill not to attend the St. Patrick's Day events in the White House and the Speakers lunch on Capitol Hill, will undoubtedly upset some of our friends across Irish America. This is very understandable.  Sinn Féin's access to successive US administrations was won after decades of very hard work by many people across North America. Understandably they do not want to jeopardise or lose that influence. It is worth noting that in the past Sinn Féin has always attended White House events when invited, including during President Trump's first term in office.So the Sinn Féin decision was taken after much deliberation.  The catalyst for this was the recent statements from President Trump in which he calls for the expulsion of over two million Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, his refusal to countenance their return and his proposal that the United States of America will take over the region. The decision would have been the same had a democratic President called for the expulsion of two million Palestinians.  

More than two years have gone by since mass "Woman, Life, Freedom" demonstrations erupted in Iran following the death of Kurdish student Mahsa Amini. She was killed by the Iranian morality police for a few strands of hair escaping from her veil. Recently, the death of a 19-year-old University of Tehran student sparked protests and sit-ins at the campus. Our reporter Mortaza Behboudi has been meeting Iranians who are carrying out everyday acts of resistance against the regime. From playing and teaching music, to advocating for LGBT rights, they are boldly taking a stand, whether it's on the streets or in private. For security reasons, the names of those featured in this report have been changed and their faces blurred.

If there's one guarantee in life, it's that we all will face uncertainty and struggles that challenge and grow our faith. Jonathan Isaac of the NBA's Orlando Magic learned this lesson firsthand. Despite being at the top of his game, he battled with anxiety, a season-ending injury, and media backlash for being the lone player to stand for the national anthem in 2020 during the Black Lives Matter protests. Yet, he would rise above the noise to discover another, very important truth. Miss last week's episode? Listen to it here. WATCH Stakelbeck Tonight episodes for free on TBN+ here.

Every day, you make decisions about whether you will stand for Christ or not. In how we live our lives, the choices we make, the attitudes we portray, and the words we say, we are telling others that we stand for Christ, or we are communicating that we do not stand with him.Main Points:1. Jesus knew we would face a strong temptation to hide our light. When we are open and public about our testimony for Christ, it draws attention to us. We face potential rejection, scorn, and persecution. No one wants to experience such things. It's so much easier to keep our faith and our testimony hidden. After all, isn't faith in God supposed to be a personal, private matter?2. Unfortunately, this is a lie we have come to believe. Satan wants your voice to be silenced. If you can be intimated to keep your witness for Christ quiet, then that is the temptation you will face. 3. Today you'll have an opportunity to stand for God. In a conversation, at your office, with your family, or on social media, there will be a moment of decision. Choose to speak up. Choose to be identified with Christ. Don't hide your witness. You can stand for Christ, but do it in a way that is gentle and respectful.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 7:9 - “If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all.”Matthew 5:15 - “No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.”Romans 1:16 - “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

From dodging lunch duty like a ninja to telling yourself it's OKAY to take a mental health day, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski are FED UP with the everyday struggles of balancing work, life, and sanity. Leslie, Gabe, and Tyler share their funniest stories about first-year teaching nightmares, side hustles (yes, some of us have to work with our students... as bosses), and the art of avoiding unnecessary extra duties. Plus, we stir some drama on why coaching might not be as glamorous as it sounds and how learning to say “no” can actually make you a better teacher. Listen up as we break down the myth of summers off, why teachers should vent (but wisely!), and the best ways to embrace your teacher tribe. And don't worry—we've got plenty of laughs to get you through those tough days. Tune in or we'll assign you extra recess duty! Teachers get your perks!!
