Send us a text2025 has been a year of relentless waves — uncertainty, upheaval, and unexpected turns.In this episode, co-hosts Belinda Liu and Omar Brownson are joined again by Dr. Paul Wang to explore how Daoist seasonal wisdom can guide us through noisy, volatile times.Together, they reflect on the transition into the metal season in Chinese cosmology, represented by autumn — a time of discernment, boundaries, and filtering out noise so we can hear the deeper signal of what truly matters.From the symbolism of sound and silence to the lessons of animals, oceans, and plants, the conversation reveals how remembrance, grace, and inner stillness help us navigate change.The Gratitude Blooming card they draw — the Poppy (Remembrance) — invites us to pause, honor what we want to sustain, and release what no longer serves.

The Basement Academy - August 15, 2025 (REPLAY) "Themes from First Corinthians" (#39)Pastor Don Meeks

This week on Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by writer and critic Jesse Fresco to dig into the early 2000s series Cla$$War. We unpack the political fury, superhero deconstruction, and lasting relevance of this overlooked gem from the Bush-era boom in gritty, socially charged comics. #MenOfSteelPod #Cla$$War #RobWilliams #SupermanAdjacent #JesseFresco #ComicsPodcast   Support us on Patreon! patreon.com/CertainPOVMedia   Men of Steel Full Episode Originally aired: August 15, 2025 Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Scored by Geoff Moonen   Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness! From Star Wars role playing, to Disney day dreaming, to video game love, we've got the show for you!   Learn more on our website: https://www.certainpov.com Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/wcHHer4   Overview Class War comic serves as a political commentary on post-9/11 America, initially conceived as a 12-issue series but only 6 issues were published between 2002 and 2004. Writer Rob Williams influenced by Bill Hicks and Marvel's Miracle Man, blending humor with serious themes of government superhero programs. Characters feature a Superman-like hero and an Enola Gay team reflecting various archetypes, but backstory is minimal focusing more on action. The commentary emphasizes American superheroes as 'deterrents' entangled in corruption and drug operations rather than showcasing true class conflict. Artwork utilized innovative computer coloring for the early 2000s, with notable scenes praised for their intensity and execution. The series is linked to broader cultural events, including the Patriot Act and militarized entertainment, creating a lasting impact on the genre. Story arcs reveal escalating tensions, ending ambiguously without showing direct conflict or resolution in the finale. Hosts reflect on the comic's themes feeling 'adolescent' today, yet resonate with current events like rising political tensions and violence. Class War recommended alongside classics like The Authority and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, highlighted for its unfinished nature and mystique. The discussion underscores a shift in superhero portrayals, questioning the effectiveness of traditional heroes in the current socio-political landscape.   Notes ️ Introduction and Setup (00:00 - 09:36) Discussion of Class War comic as political commentary on post-9/11 America, described as 'what if Superman was pissed off about 9/11'. Jesse Fresco returns after Jaguar Sharks podcast ended in January, currently working on a novel after crossing 200 pages. Class War intended as 12-issue series but only 6 issues published - first 3 in 2002, final 3 in 2004 by Com X publisher. Notable art style change between Trevor Harrison (issues 1-3) and Travel Foreman (issues 4-6), both considered high quality for indie publication. Historical Context and Influences (09:36 - 18:49) Comic written before 9/11 but published after, coincidentally capturing post-9/11 American sentiment perfectly. Received major attention from Wizard magazine and early comic websites despite being small indie publication. Writer Rob Williams heavily influenced by comedian Bill Hicks, directly copying Kennedy assassination joke in comic. Williams cited Marvel Man/Miracle Man as major influence, both featuring government superhero programs with Nazi scientist connections. ‍️ Character Analysis and Comic Structure (18:49 - 27:56) Superman-type character design with mostly white bodysuit, blue stripe, and star pattern - described as 'patriotic Apollo'. Minimal backstory provided beyond brief flashback showing protagonist's brother died of heroin overdose. Enola Gay superhero team includes The American, Heavyweight (Luke Cage-type), Icon (Wonder Woman analog), and Confusion (psychic character). ️ Political Commentary and Themes (27:56 - 38:02) Reveals American superheroes used as 'deterrents' rather than weapons, involved in drug trafficking operations. Despite title 'Class War,' actual class conflict rarely shown - more focused on government corruption than economic inequality. Problematic portrayal of Black character written by British creators, described as 'Mike Tyson as super soldier'. Art and Production Quality (38:02 - 48:12) Utilized cutting-edge computer coloring and gradients that were revolutionary for early 2000s comics. Heavyweight vs American battle particularly praised, featuring brutal jaw-punching scene later parodied by Garth Ennis. Com X publisher folded after initial run, Image Comics later acquired reprint rights. Cultural Impact and Comparisons (48:12 - 58:18) Frequently compared to Warren Ellis's Authority series despite Williams claiming unfamiliarity. Influenced Garth Ennis's The Boys, Warren Ellis's Black Summer, and Mark Millar's War Heroes. Part of broader cultural shift including 'freedom fries,' Patriot Act, and militarized entertainment. Story Structure Analysis (58:19 - 01:08:43) Issue 1 - Superman burns 'LIAR' into President's forehead; Issue 2 - Heavyweight fight; Issue 3 - Bridge episode; Issues 4-6 - Government conspiracy revelation. Series ends with American and Isaac preparing for civil war, never showing actual conflict or resolution. Heavyweight confirmed killed by shield weapon, Jefferson transforms into monster. ️ Modern Relevance Discussion (01:08:44 - 01:18:51) Comic feels 'adolescent' and 'naive' when read today, but captured appropriate anger for its time. Hosts discuss how recent events (CEO shooting, political tensions) make comic's themes more relevant. Question whether Superman-type heroes work in current political climate versus Punisher-style vigilantes. Conclusion and Recommendations (01:18:52 - 01:25:43) Recommended alongside The Authority, Garth Ennis's 303, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. Better remembered as unfinished work with mystique than potentially disappointing completion. Plugs for CPOV Media Patreon, Movie Struck podcast, and Discord community.

In this episode, I respond to a listener question about how to handle situations where children want their creations or work in the playroom to remain untouched between sessions. Whether it's a LEGO build, a coloring page, or a carefully constructed scene, children often seek a sense of permanence and control. I walk through how to stay adherent to the CCPT model while addressing those needs with clarity, neutrality, and empathy. I share the importance of setting factual expectations, reflecting needs and emotions without overstepping into agenda-driven responses, and avoiding limits where they aren't necessary. This episode covers not only the clinical “how,” but the philosophical “why” behind these decisions—reminding us that our role is to allow children to process, feel, and grow, not to rescue them from discomfort.

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I walk through one of the most important and most underutilized CCPT skills: reflecting feelings. Despite its central role in both the reflective responses and the four pillars of CCPT, reflecting feelings is statistically the least used skill—even among highly trained clinicians. I explore why that might be, and how we can increase our intentional use of this essential tool. I cover the mechanics of a strong feeling reflection, the emotional vocabulary needed, and how nonverbal congruence—tone of voice and facial expression—can make or break the moment. I also clarify the difference between reflecting feelings and making assumptions based on behavior, and I touch on how to reflect needs, desires, wishes, and intentions when emotion isn't clear. This episode is both a technical breakdown and a heartfelt reminder of the emotional attunement CCPT requires—and why it's worth doing well.

The Basement Academy - August 12, 2025 (REPLAY) "Themes from First Corinthians" (#36)Pastor Don Meeks

What do you get when you mix royal marriages, palace drama, and one very wicked queen? In this episode, we follow the unraveling of a godly legacy as we wrap up chapter 20 and head into 2 Chronicles 21–24. One sinful alliance sets off a chain of destruction, but even in the chaos God's promise to David stands firm. And through the quiet courage of two faithful people, the line of Christ is preserved.Themes of this podcast: Sinful alliances can derail Godly legacies. Jehoshaphat was a good king, but his alliance with Ahab opened the door for idolatry, violence, and spiritual decay in Judah. One unwise decision—marrying into a wicked family—allowed sin to unravel generations of godly influence.God preserves His promises, even through chaos. Despite betrayal, murder, and idolatry, God keeps His promises. His plans cannot be stopped even by the darkest evil.Ordinary faithfulness can change the course of history. Jehosheba and Jehoiada weren't kings or warriors—they were a stepdaughter and a priest. But their courage, faith, and obedience became the turning point in Judah's story. God uses faithful people in hidden places to do extraordinary things.Show notes: BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here When constant disruption becomes part of the job, how do you build a supply chain that can withstand the pressure?In this episode, Kyle Price, Vice President of Procurement at Caterpillar, joins Jan, Terry, and James to talk about building a resilient, flexible supply chain in a world that doesn't slow down. With more than 20 years at Caterpillar, Kyle offers valuable insights that acknowledge the complexity of supply chain management, but don't get stuck in it, either.Supply chains have gone from regional and predictable to global and deeply complex. And the risks? They're not just more frequent; they're evolving. So how do you lead through that? Kyle says don't wait for the perfect solution. You build flexibility into the design from the start. That means dual sourcing, holding strategic inventory, and using AI to spot risk early.These ideas aren't new, but Kyle explains how to make them work. Dual sourcing, for example, doesn't have to mean doubling your cost. You can move quickly when needed by identifying backup suppliers early and setting up agreements in advance, without spending heavily up front.Kyle brings up the importance of prioritization. With massive amounts of supplier data, it's easy to get lost. He explains how Caterpillar uses internal tools, including AI, to focus on what matters most to the business. For them, managing risk is not a side task. It's part of how procurement works day to day.He also talks about the impact of new regulations. Kyle doesn't see this as something to push back on. For him, it's about being prepared and building the capability to respond. Resiliency, in his view, isn't just about avoiding disruption. It also affects cost, quality, safety, and how competitive you can be.Jan asks Kyle what he'd tell supply chain leaders who feel too busy or too stretched to think about risk strategy. His advice? Start small. Don't wait for perfection. Focus on the pain points you already know, and build from there. Whether you do it in-house or partner up, just start.Toward the end, Kyle talks about how he stays connected to the industry outside Caterpillar through his work on the AIAG board and with students at BYU's supply chain program. His goal isn't just to manage risk today but to help build better supply chain leaders for the future.Themes discussed in this episode:Why flexibility needs to be designed into the supply chain from the startHow AI and data tools are reshaping procurement risk strategiesHow to lead a supply chain team when the pressure never stopsHow risk planning must be embedded into everyday procurement processesThe growing compliance pressure to trace materials across global supply chainsHow supply chain resiliency drives cost, quality, and safety improvementsThe importance of industry engagement in building the next generation of supply chain leadersFeatured on this episode:Name: Kyle PriceTitle: Vice President of Procurement at CaterpillarAbout: Kyle is the Vice President of Procurement at Caterpillar, overseeing the Supply Resiliency organization. In this role, he leads a global procurement team that supports all four Caterpillar verticals and is responsible for developing enterprise strategies and processes that promote operational excellence within the supply network.Over his 24 years with Caterpillar, Kyle has worked in various areas of the business, taking on...

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - Click hereIf you're still leading like it's 1995, or worse, 1985, you're holding this industry back. We've spent decades obsessing over products and systems, yet barely stopped to ask ourselves: What kind of leaders are we? That's the question Jan wants you to sit with. Because if we don't change how we lead, the rest doesn't matter. The truth is, the Command-and-control style is still prevalent today, especially in moments of uncertainty. Too many leaders retreat into control when what's really needed is trust and empowerment. That reaction is driving away the very talent the industry needs to stay competitive. The solution? Building a culture where people can make decisions, collaborate across silos, and adapt quickly. But it's not just about shifting behavior—it's also about how leaders communicate change.. When rolling out new tech, leaders need to involve people. Otherwise, the change will fail, not because of the tool but because the people weren't part of the journey.That's when Jan introduces the idea of the leadership statement. This is about sitting down, reflecting on your values, thinking about the leaders who shaped you, and being honest about the kind of leader you want to be. We're so used to asking our teams for commitment. What if, instead, you asked yourself what you are committing to them? What are you promising as their leader?Jan shares an example from Goodyear CEO Mark Stewart. His leadership commitment? “I'm in 1000%.” He didn't just say it; he moved to Ohio to back it up. That's what authentic leadership looks like.The clock's ticking. Chinese OEMs are gaining ground, and the window to evolve is closing fast. If we don't change our leadership and culture now, no amount of AI, tech, or process improvement will save us.It starts with you. The way you lead, the culture you create, and the commitments you're willing to make.Themes discussed in this episode:Why the automotive industry can't compete globally with 1990s leadership modelsHow to evaluate and improve your leadership style to match today's industry needsWhy trust and empowerment are key to keeping young talent in automotiveWhy building a strong leadership culture is critical to EV and supply chain transformationHow automotive leaders fall into micromanagement during crisis—and how to break the habitThe importance of writing a real, personal leadership commitmentWhy Chinese automakers are taking the lead in the global market and what legacy OEMs must do to catch upYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry. As the President & Founder of Gravitas Detroit, Jan brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for transforming company cultures. Additionally, she is the host of the Automotive Leaders Podcast, where she shares insightful conversations with industry visionaries. Jan is also the author of AutoCulture 2.0, a groundbreaking book that challenges the traditional leadership model prevalent in the automotive world. With her extensive...
