GDP Script/ Top Stories for September 18th Publish Date: September 18th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, September 18th and Happy birthday to Tyne Sandberg I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep takes place this weekend Landowners near Rivian defeat state demand for legal costs Friday Night Food Fight turns 10 and nears milestone for helping feed Gwinnett families Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on sweet tooth All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 1: Annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep takes place this weekend The Lake Lanier Association is gearing up for its 37th annual Shore Sweep, the massive cleanup effort that’s been keeping the lake and its shores clean for decades. Mark your calendars: it’s happening Saturday, Sept. 20, with advance cleanup sites open now through Sunday, Sept. 21. Over the years, volunteers have pulled a staggering 2.33 million pounds of trash from the lake. Last year alone? 85 tons, thanks to 1,200 dedicated helpers. This year, they’re aiming even higher—100 tons. Volunteers can bring trash to 15 drop-off sites or join mobile crews on the water. Registration is required—visit lakelanier.org/shore-sweep for details. STORY 2: Landowners near Rivian defeat state demand for legal costs A group of landowners who tried to block the massive Rivian auto plant near Social Circle just dodged a $338,000 legal bill. The state wanted them to pay for its defense, calling their lawsuit frivolous, but a Morgan County judge wasn’t buying it. Judge Stephen Bradley ruled the suit was a legitimate attempt to question whether Georgia officials could sidestep local zoning laws for a private company on public land. The state had bought the 2,000-acre property, leased it to a development authority, which then leased it to Rivian. Bradley’s 11-page order didn’t hold back, even suggesting the state’s actions seemed designed to silence local opposition. For the landowners, it’s a huge relief. Meanwhile, Rivian is moving forward, with groundbreaking on the plant expected soon. The state insists the project will bring “generational economic opportunity,” but the legal battles aren’t over yet. STORY 3: Friday Night Food Fight turns 10 and nears milestone for helping feed Gwinnett families What started as a simple idea at Susan Lang’s kitchen table has turned into something extraordinary: 10 years of Friday Night Food Fight, a student-driven effort that’s collected nearly half a million pounds of food for Gwinnett County families in need. It all began when Lang’s son, then a senior at Mill Creek High, suggested turning a football rivalry with Dacula into a food drive competition. That first year? They hauled in 45,000 pounds of food. Now, schools across the county join in, with donations feeding hundreds of families weekly. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: GWINNETT FAIR STORY 4: Northside Duluth doctor first in Georgia to perform new knee procedure Last month, Northside Hospital Duluth made waves in Georgia’s medical community. Dr. Timilehin Wusu, an orthopedic surgeon at Northside, became the first in the state to perform a groundbreaking procedure using the MISHA (Medial Implantable Shock Absorber) system. The device, designed for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis, helps reduce pain and improve mobility—without the need for a total knee replacement. The first patient? A 54-year-old woman who’s already on the road to reclaiming her active life. STORY 5: Georgia high court decision ends Fulton prosecutor’s participation in case against Trump The Georgia Supreme Court just slammed the brakes on Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ election interference case against Donald Trump and his allies. In a tight 4-3 vote, the court refused to hear her appeal after the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified her from prosecuting the case. Why? Her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor she’d assigned to the case, raised too many eyebrows. The ruling leaves the state Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council to potentially take over, as it did with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ case. We’ll be right back.

Recorded live at Hope Church's Volunteer Appreciation Day in Richmond. Tommy shares two life-giving disciplines that help “always yes” volunteers find margin, joy, and balance. You will hear how Sabbath rest and intentional celebration can move you from burnout to sustainable service, plus a practical Q&A on making this work in real life and work.Key TakeawaysGod did not design you to live overloaded, overwhelmed, and exhausted.Sabbath is both a command and a gift. It is meant to come first so your work flows from rest.Rest renews joy, relationships, and impact. You serve from overflow rather than empty.Celebration is a spiritual practice. Joy and gratitude strengthen service.Small margins matter. Arrive a few minutes early. Leave space between meetings. Build simple pauses into your day.In nontraditional schedules, take rest whenever the window opens. Treat it as a first priority when possible.Timestamps(0:00) Intro(1:11) My Volunteer Addiction(11:04) The Discipline of Rest(30:11) The Discipline of Celebration(38:26) Q&A Section(39:32) Question 1(43:12) Question 2(47:57) Question 3(52:13) Question 4(53:50) Final ThoughtsScripture MentionedIsaiah 30:15Isaiah 58:13–14Psalm 23Psalm 150Matthew 11:28–30Hebrews 4:9–11Books MentionedMargin by Richard SwensonIf you found this helpful, please share the episode with a friend!

Beyond tournaments, Tita champions inclusivity and connection, creating spaces where women of all ages and skill levels feel welcome.

Join us for another Episode of the Scrap, this time with Marshall Boyd, a 23-year veteran of two small fire departments south of Houston. We discuss imposter syndrome, sharing how he's worked to impact his corner of the fire service despite feeling like “no one from nowhere.” Marshall explores the shift in firefighting tactics over the years, and the process of making the change... from fiberglass poles to modern tools, and the importance of perspective in adapting to change. We discuss and compare career and volunteer firefighting, the mission remains the same regardless of pay. Marshall also covers leadership as influence, especially in volunteer settings where there's no leverage, and why making the job personal drives his work. Expect insights on through-the-lock forcible entry and the challenges of moving from the truck to the buggy. And as always... our best laid plans were beautifully derailed by the awesome questions from the live audience!!!!  

As we continue to release this word about the currency of Justice, we must have guidelines on how to use this gift from the Lord.  The Lord desires His justice released, and we are the governmental delegates to release this justice.

rWotD Episode 3058: Forensic Science Laboratory bombing Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 17 September 2025, is Forensic Science Laboratory bombing.The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) targeted the Northern Ireland Forensic Science Laboratory (NIFSL) facilities on Newtownbreda Road in the southern outskirts of Belfast with a large 3,000 lb bomb on 23 September 1992. The huge impact of the bomb destroyed the lab and damaged over 1,000 homes within a 1.5 mile radius, including adjacent Belvoir Park, a Protestant housing estate. It was one of the biggest bombs ever detonated during Northern Ireland's Troubles, causing massive damage and being felt over 10 miles away. Hundreds of residents had to be treated for shock. Several military vehicles were damaged. The lab was a key target because it analysed evidence in cases involving IRA attacks. The IRA had given a warning, and British Army bomb disposal experts were investigating an abandoned van when the explosion occurred. One estimate put the repair damage cost at £20 million at the time.According to journalist and author Toby Harnden, the attack was planned and carried out from beginning to end by the IRA South Armagh Brigade. Volunteers from the brigade hijacked a truck near Newry and packed it with explosives weighing 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg). They left the truck outside the Forensic Science Laboratory at 8:40pm. Nearly 45 minutes later, after a coded warning, the bomb exploded.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:19 UTC on Wednesday, 17 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Forensic Science Laboratory bombing on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

In small churches, titles can build invisible walls—like pastors' wives on one side, “regular” women on the other. Or ministry leaders here, and occasional volunteers over there. But those labels don't tell the whole story, and they often keep us from the deep, honest community we long for. In this episode, Kristen Joy Humiston and I share from both sides of the wall, uncovering how much more we have in common than what separates us.What you'll hear in this episode:How titles like “pastor's wife” or “leader” can unintentionally create distanceWhy women in small churches often feel divided (and how to bridge the gap)Stories from both sides: living with a title and living without oneHow shared struggles (loneliness, pressure, expectations) prove we're not so different after allWhat it could look like if we ditched the labels and built friendships that actually lastConnect with Kristen Joy Humiston:www.kristenjoycoaching.com Get your FREE ticket for the Lead Well for Women in Small Churches Conference: www.smallchurchsummits.comJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

God would like for us to willingly be on the path to enlightenment because we have learned to recognize that it's the best path for us. The right path for us in this existence. The path that leads to our best self and our best reality. On this path we become what we would like to see most in the world and in a sense, our world changes to personify that new way of being. However it takes a lot of sacrifices and choices, that requires us to willingly choose to be here. Otherwise, the choices and sacrifices can build resentment. And instead of personifying greatest. We become the embodiment of the twisted nature of self righteousness. Instead of the empowering freedom of righteousness. So it takes us to be here by choice, not by fear or by promise of success and rewards. God wants volunteers, not hostages.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Ann Fellman, CMO at Bloomerang, to unpack what's actually happening in charitable giving and how nonprofits can raise more—consistently. Drawing from the latest Giving USA data and Bloomerang's vantage point across tens of thousands of organizations, Ann argues that the “decline in generosity” narrative is a myth.Generosity is shifting, not shrinking, and organizations that focus on relationships, recurring giving, and volunteer engagement are outperforming the sector.“Generosity is alive and well—and growing. When we build genuine relationships and make giving easy, nonprofits raise more.” — Ann FellmanAbout Our GuestAnn Fellman leads marketing at Bloomerang, a nonprofit giving platform that brings together donor CRM, fundraising (online, offline, events, auctions), and volunteer management in one place. Bloomerang's goal is simple: help nonprofits raise more—money, time, and community support—by making it easier to build lasting relationships.Episode SnapshotGenerosity is growing. Individual giving remains the largest slice of the pie and has increased year over year. Don't let negative headlines drive your strategy—follow the data.The “meaty middle” matters. Mid-level and first-time donors can become a predictable revenue engine with a thoughtful recurring giving strategy.Volunteers are super-supporters. Treat volunteer time as an on-ramp to deeper engagement; volunteers often become major donors and planned givers.Planned giving is changing. As the Great Wealth Transfer accelerates and more family foundations adopt spend-down policies, proactive relationship-building is essential.Make it easy to give. Donation page UX and integrated tools can materially lift conversion (Ann cited ~30% conversion lift for customers optimizing with Bloomerang's fundraising tools).Data + empathy = durable growth. Segment by life stage, align asks to donor capacity and timing (yes, market cycles influence larger gifts), and communicate impact clearly.

You don’t have to love the weight room, but you can’t last without it. Champ Bailey, a National Football League (NFL) Hall of Famer, admits he never enjoyed lifting, but says respecting the work gave him the edge to sustain 15 seasons at the highest level. Hear how his preparation evolved from traditional lifts to readiness routines — core, mobility, warm-ups, and recovery — that kept him fresh through the NFL grind. Bailey emphasizes that strength and conditioning coaches are undervalued leaders who “see you at all levels,” guide comebacks, and build buy-in with simple numbers. He recalls how a failed conditioning test led to one of his best seasons, and how weight room leadership left no cracks to ensure buy-in from everyone. Bailey continues his impact through the Positive Athlete initiative, using sport as a platform for growth. Gain practical ways to tailor training by role, earn athlete respect, and build a winning culture.

It's how you conduct yourself in meetings. And you don't ever have to be vocal. You let your actions speak for you.” 20:10 “But Positive Athlete is a platform-- it's a recognition platform. So what we do is we recognize student athletes 9th through 12th grade for really just being positive individuals. So it could be somebody who's overcome a terrible injury, just great in the community, great student, good teammate, always on time, always showing up, accountable, all the things that sports sort of teaches us without us even thinking about it.” 26:05 “You've got to think how we value sports and the scrutiny. If every company was run the way you run a sports organization, and the detail, and the evaluation, and the team-oriented environment, and everybody knowing the mission, and staying on task, understanding your role, that's what a team looks like.” 32:30

On a sunny afternoon in downtown Winchester, the secret garden at the Espresso Bar buzzes with the warmth of old friends reuniting. Host of The Valley Today, Janet Michael welcomes Sandy Schwalb, a dedicated volunteer and former board member of Virginia German Shepherd Rescue (VGSR), for a heartfelt conversation about the organization's mission, the power of community, and the life-changing impact of rescue dogs. Sandy's journey with VGSR began years ago, transforming her from a self-described “non-dog person” into a passionate advocate for German Shepherds and animal rescue. Alongside her husband Steve, Sandy has fostered and adopted numerous dogs, each with their own story of resilience and hope. The couple's home has been a haven for both purebred shepherds and lovable mixes, including a feisty Lhasa Apso-poodle who rules the roost. Through laughter and a few tears, Sandy recounts the joys and challenges of fostering, the heartbreak of loss, and the deep bonds that form between humans and their canine companions. The conversation delves into the nuts and bolts of rescue work. VGSR, a nonprofit organization, has placed over 5,000 dogs in loving homes since 2001. Dogs arrive from all over—shelters, owner surrenders, and even out-of-state rescues facilitated by a network of volunteers and pilots. The process is a community effort, relying on fosters, transporters, and donors to ensure every dog gets a second chance. Sandy emphasizes the importance of microchipping, proper identification, and the critical role of fosters, who provide temporary homes and help dogs adjust before adoption. Janet and Sandy also discuss the public's misconceptions about German Shepherds, often seen as police or guard dogs. In reality, these loyal, intelligent animals make wonderful family pets when given the right environment and training. The episode highlights the need for education and advocacy to dispel myths and encourage more people to consider fostering or adopting. Fundraising is a lifeline for VGSR, and Sandy shares details about their annual golf tournament and silent auction, inviting listeners to participate as sponsors, donors, or volunteers. The organization's website and social media pages serve as hubs for information on available dogs, upcoming events, and ways to get involved. Whether it's fostering, volunteering at events, or simply sharing a flyer, every contribution makes a difference. As the conversation wraps up, Janet and Sandy reflect on the transformative power of rescue—for both dogs and people. From the quiet comfort of a well-trained shepherd at a dinner table to the excitement of a new foster finding their forever home, the stories shared are a testament to compassion, resilience, and the enduring connection between humans and animals. For anyone looking to make a difference, VGSR offers countless ways to get involved and help write the next chapter in a rescue dog's story.

Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Bill Van Kirk break down a simple, powerful retention lever: align volunteers with their giftedness. They explore how “ability + willingness” fuels longevity and how a SHAPE conversation helps leaders seat the right people in the right roles for healthy teams. If you've ever felt stuck replacing the same volunteers month after month, this episode will equip and inspire you with a practical path to keep the “good ones” God has already provided.Key Topics CoveredDefining giftedness vs. general ability – why the difference matters for retentionJim Collins' “right people, right seats” applied to church teamsThe SHAPE conversation: Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences—how to run it this monthKey Quote“Wrong seat doesn't mean wrong person—shift the seat, not the bus.” Scripture References1 Corinthians 12:4–7 – “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit… To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”Romans 12:6 – “Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them…”TakeawayRetention starts with alignment. When leaders intentionally discover gifts and place people accordingly, willingness rises, joy increases, and ministries stabilize. Use SHAPE to learn a volunteer's design, then move them to a role where they'll thrive—and stay.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.
