The public school system is broken. Too many kids feel left behind, uninspired, and stuck in a one-size-fits-all model that doesn't prepare them for real life—or real relationships. As a dad and leader, Jason believes we need a radical shift. That's why he sat down with Dr. Tyler Thigpen, an education innovator, to explore a new approach—one that fosters independence, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.In this episode, Jason and Tyler unpack why the system is failing, what's working in learner-centered models, and how parents can take the lead. These new environments don't just teach facts—they shape identity, build resilience, and equip kids for healthy, whole lives.If you care about how your kids are learning and growing, this episode is for you.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 13th               Publish Date: July 13th                    From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast    Today is Saturday, July 13th and Happy 84th Birthday to actor Patrick Stewart. ***07.13.24 – BIRTHDAY – PATRICK STEWART***   I'm Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  Sports Turf Company Selected to Build New Cherokee High School Athletic Fields Opening Date Announced for Renovated Hickory Flat Library Woodstock Selects Construction Manager for New Fire Station   We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    Commercial: CU of GA STORY 1: Company Selected to Build New Cherokee High School Athletic Fields   Sports Turf Company has been chosen to construct Cherokee High School's new athletic complex, set to be completed before the school opens in August 2026. The complex will feature an eight-lane running track, a natural grass practice field, and several artificial turf fields including those for football, softball, and baseball. The artificial turf fields will utilize AstroTurf's 3D Decade Turf system with Brock Powerbase YSR shock pad and organic BrockFILL infill, designed for athlete safety and performance. Additionally, the natural grass field will incorporate Tifway 419 Bermuda grass. The running track will feature a Rekortan B synthetic surface. This project is part of Cherokee County's broader construction plans funded by Education SPLOST and bonds. For more details about Sports Turf Company, visit sportsturf.net. STORY 2: Opening Date Announced for Renovated Hickory Flat Library   The Hickory Flat Public Library is set to reopen after an extensive renovation and expansion project lasting a year and a half. The grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony are scheduled for July 25, hosted by the Sequoyah Regional Library System. The event begins at 3 p.m. with a ribbon cutting followed by tours, refreshments, and an opportunity to sign up for library cards. At 4:30 p.m., a Summer Discovery Finale event featuring a puppet show by That Puppet Guy will take place. The renovated library, originally built in 1993, now includes an additional 7,800 square feet for expanded book collections, technology, program areas, and meeting spaces. Funded by SPLOST and a state grant, the project reflects community support and leadership. For more details and event registration, visit SequoyahRegionalLibrary.org. STORY 3: Woodstock Selects Construction Manager for New Fire Station Woodstock is progressing with plans for a new fire station following a recent city council decision. The council voted 3-0 on July 8 to select John W. Spratlin and Son, LLC for "construction manager at risk" services for the project. This involves hiring a construction manager to oversee the project under a guaranteed maximum price framework. The manager will collaborate with Croft and Associates, the design firm, on technical reviews, cost evaluations, and scheduling. The new fire station, prompted by increased call volumes due to Woodstock's growth, will be located on city-owned land, likely along Ridgewalk Parkway. Construction is slated for 2025-26. Woodstock currently operates two fire stations: Station 10 and Station 14, serving essential roles in the community's fire protection infrastructure. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    Back in a moment  Break: DRAKE STORY 4: ARC: Cherokee County Seeing Slower Growth Cherokee County, part of the Atlanta region, continues to grow rapidly, albeit at a slightly reduced pace. According to the Atlanta Regional Commission's 2024 estimates, Cherokee County added 5,400 residents over the past year, bringing its population to 292,360, marking a growth rate of 1.9%. This is a decline from the previous year's 2.5% growth rate. Despite the slowdown, Cherokee County's growth rate remains among the highest in the region, second only to Atlanta. Factors contributing to the overall slowdown in growth across the region include reduced housing permits, moderated job growth, and high housing prices. The ARC underscores the importance of continued infrastructure investment to sustain the area's growth trajectory. STORY 5: Downtown Woodstock Launching Summer Scratch Off Event in August Downtown Woodstock is launching The Summer Scratch Off Lottery from August 1 to August 15, encouraging shoppers to explore local retail stores. Participants can pick up scratch off cards from participating shops, each offering various discounts redeemable immediately or later in August.

Thigpen, regional president of The Piedmont Bank, brings extensive civic engagement from his tenure in Paulding County, including leadership roles in healthcare and local chambers of commerce. Outgoing chair Debbie Underkoffler, president of North Georgia Staffing, was honored for her dedicated service to the college and community. Awards of appreciation were also bestowed upon departing board members Mark Haney, a retired healthcare executive, and Stevan Crew, founder of Crew & Associates, recognizing their profound impact on Chattahoochee Tech's success and community advocacy.

Dr. Thigpen offers insights on the Manual for Spiritual Warfare Chapter 7: For in spite of all the witness of creation and of the salvific economy inherent in it, the spirit of darkness is capable of showing God as an enemy of his own creature, and in the first place as an enemy of man, as a source of danger and threat to man. In this way Satan manages to sow in man's soul the seed of opposition to the one who “from the beginning” would be considered as man's enemy— and not as Father. Man is challenged to become the adversary of God! The analysis of sin in its original dimension indicates that, through the influence of the “father of lies,” throughout the history of humanity there will be a constant pressure on man to reject God, even to the point of hating Him: “Love of self to the point of contempt for God,” as St. Augustine puts it.

Dr. Thigpen offers insights on the Manual for Spiritual Warfare Chapter 5: Prayer and fasting, worship and adoration, Scripture and sacraments and sacramentals all provide the weapons of our spiritual warfare. With them we go on the offensive against the Evil One. But the virtues provide our defensive armor. As Blessed Pope Paul VI once observed, St. Paul “used the armor of a soldier as a symbol for the virtues that can make a Christian invulnerable.” They are our best defense against his attacks, for they guard our minds and hearts from his deceptions and temptations. A lapse in virtue is in fact a chink in our armor that makes us vulnerable. Each of these virtues, then, and all the others as well, play a vital role in protecting us from enemy assault as the armor we must wear. St. Paul sums it up: “Put on, therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, patience. Bear with one another, if anyone has a grievance against any other; even as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must forgive. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection” (Col 3: 12– 14). Only with such armor will we be fully covered and protected from the Evil One's attacks.

Dr. Thigpen offers insights on the Manual for Spiritual Warfare Chapter 4: Blessings and blessed objects. Both the blessings that are properly given by clergy (such as those in the Liturgy) and the blessings spoken by lay people as part of their daily lives (such as a table grace) are important sacramentals. They can sanctify our thoughts, our actions, and our surroundings in a way that repels the Enemy. We see their power most clearly when used to remedy the demonic infestation of a building or object through a priestly blessing with holy water. Throughout the centuries, the testimony of many Christians, including a number of saints, confirms that objects blessed by a priest, through the power of the Church's intercession, can repel demonic powers. Again and again, evil spirits have recoiled in dread, not just from the Sign of the Cross, but also from holy water and blessed oil, crosses, crucifixes, medals, candles, or salt. These can be used by priests in exorcisms as well as by lay Christians in everyday life. So the faithful sometimes keep such sacramentals in their homes. The home itself (as well as other buildings) can be blessed by a priest as well.

"Know your Weapons" pt. 3 - Put on The Armor - A Manual for Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Paul Thigpen Ph.D Dr. Thigpen offers insights on the Manual for Spiritual Warfare Chapter 4: The weapon of sacramentals The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes sacramentals as sacred signs that bear a resemblance to the sacraments. They signify effects, especially of a spiritual kind, that are obtained through the Church's intercession. Through sacramentals, we are disposed to receive the primary effect of the sacraments, and they make holy various occasions in life (see CCC 1667). Exorcism. Since ancient times, Christians have recognized the power of the Church's intercession as it's displayed through the use of sacramentals. Most notably, the ministry of exorcism is itself a sacramental. In an exorcism, the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the Devil's power and withdrawn from his dominion. Just as Jesus performed exorcisms, He has given the Church the power and office to perform them (see CCC 1673). According to Church law, only a priest with the bishop's permission can perform a major (or solemn) exorcism— that is, the rite required to free a demon-possessed person. Any priest, however, can perform a minor exorcism in cases other than possession. These involve private prayers and blessings, either spontaneous or as provided by the ritual of the Church. They may be helpful in cases of oppression, obsession, and even infestation. In addition, the Rite of Infant Baptism and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) contain prayers of exorcism. The Sign of the Cross. St. Athanasius wrote that before the coming of Christ, demonic powers used to deceive the pagans into worshipping them and obeying their oracles. “But now,” he observed in the fourth century, “since the divine appearance of the Word [Christ], all this deception has come to an end. For by the Sign of the Cross, if a man will only use it, their deceptions are driven out.” The post POA8 – Know your Weapons pt. 3 – Put On The Armor – A Manual for Spiritual Warfare w/Dr. Paul Thigpen Ph.D. – Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
