    Brother Eric Richards teaches Institute and Seminary in the Utah North Area, is a member of the Veritas society, a contributing author for the Patheos project, and a member of the International Writers and Editors Association. He has served in several Bishoprics, twice on High Councils, in the Stake Presidency, and now serves as a Bishop. For five years, Brother Richards and his team wrote the Online Seminary Curriculum. He presents at BYU and BYU-Idaho Education Week and is the author of Preparing for the Second Coming, Come Follow Me: Words of the Week, and was a contributing author for Deseret Book's “Hear Him” project. He's a certified Neuroscience Coach, and a great pickleball player in his free time. Brother Richards grew up attending the Mountain View Baptist Church in San Diego before missionaries baptized him and his mom. He served a mission in Honduras, and his son later served in the same mission. He first moved to Utah after meeting his future wife at EFY, and taught Seminary and played water polo and volleyball for Utah State University. They have been married for 27 years. Most of all, he loves teaching and being with valiant Christians around the world.

This conversation moves beyond administrative duties to explore practical frameworks for empowering members, delivering difficult counsel, and fostering a revelation-driven ward culture. 00:02:37 – Eric Richards’s Background and Experience 00:06:05 – Core Messages and Focus on Jesus Christ 00:07:42 – Approaching Leadership and Interviews 00:12:21 – The Importance of the Bishop’s Helpline 00:13:05 – Interview Techniques for Revelation 00:20:03 – The Role of Hope in Leadership 00:24:11 – Addressing Pornography in Ministering Interviews 00:30:51 – Supporting Speakers and Teachers in Sacrament Meetings 00:35:07 – Encouraging Discussion in Sunday School 00:39:26 – Inspired Counsel on Callings 00:45:12 – The Bishop’s Prayer List and Personal Ministry 00:46:33 – Ministering Interviews and Strengthening Faith Key Insights Connecting to Christ: All leadership efforts should ultimately prioritize helping individuals develop a personal relationship with the Savior rather than simply maintaining organizational functions. Four Levels of Problem Solving: Leaders can empower members by identifying their current “level” of problem-solving: Level 1 (bringing a completed solution), Level 2 (proposing options), Level 3 (sharing findings/research), or Level 4 (simply asking for the answer). The “Hot Sauce” Technique: Delivering difficult correction is most effective when used as a “compliment sandwich,” where hard truths are encased in genuine love to ensure the counsel is “metabolized” rather than rejected. Facilitating Personal Revelation: Leaders should serve as a “Sherpa” or “guide on the side,” asking questions that invite the member to receive their own answers from the Spirit rather than providing them directly. Wellness Baselines: Richards emphasizes checking a member’s physical (sleep, diet, exercise) and spiritual (prayer, scripture, temple) “baselines” to address holistic needs before tackling complex emotional or behavioral issues. Heart-Led Vulnerability: To create safety, leaders should model vulnerability in sacrament meetings and classes, prioritizing personal, “heart-led” experiences over purely informational “head-led” teaching. Leadership Applications Member Empowerment: Instead of solving every problem, a leader can ask a member where they are on the 1–4 problem-solving scale, encouraging them to find and present their own solutions for the leader’s approval. Ward Council Dynamics: Councils are most effective when members “check their ego” and evaluate every proposal through “three hats”: their perspective as an individual, as a friend/neighbor, and through their specific stewardship. Joyful Ward Culture: Leaders can foster a “Church of Joy” by normalizing post-meeting interactions and using specific roles, such as “stenographers” to document the ward’s spiritual history and community connections.

    According to our favorite literary reviewer, Bethanne Patrick, these are the seven books that “will really matter” in 2026:* Land by Maggie O'Farrell — The Hamnet author returns with a luminous novel set in 1865 Ireland, two decades after the Great Famine. A father and son survey their region for the British—mapping the land in English when their hearts speak Gaelic. O'Farrell explores post-famine trauma, colonialism, and the mysterious pull of place, weaving in neolithic history and Irish wolfhounds that feel almost magical. As some characters emigrate to the New World, the novel asks what it means when land becomes identity, when a nation is defined not by commerce but by the places that feed our souls.* The Fire Agent by David Baerwald — A stunning debut from the Grammy-winning songwriter behind Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club. This 600-page thriller is based on Baerwald's own family history: his grandfather Ernst was sent to Tokyo as the purported sales director for IG Farben, the company complicit in the Holocaust. The novel spans continents and decades, from a 1920s throuple to Wild Bill Donovan's OSS becoming the CIA, complete with family photographs. Patrick calls it “a knockout”—not a potboiler, but a wild, scary ride where almost everything actually happened.* A Tender Age by Chang-rae Lee — The Pulitzer finalist delivers what his publisher calls “a spellbinding exploration of American masculinity and family dynamics.” Through an unforgettable Asian-American protagonist, Lee examines what it means to grow up with “double consciousness”—always aware of how the dominant culture perceives you, your family, your chances. Patrick places him alongside Jesmyn Ward as one of America's finest novelists.* Witness and Respair by Jesmyn Ward — The two-time National Book Award winner collects her nonfiction, including the devastating Vanity Fair essay about her husband's death from COVID at 33. “Respair” is Ward's resurrection of an archaic word: the repair that comes after despair. These crystalline essays on the American South, racism, and grief reveal the deep thought behind her remarkable fiction. Patrick sees it as essential reading for 2026—a creative grappling with everything America must face.* Backtalker by Kimberlé Crenshaw — A memoir from the architect of “intersectionality” and “critical race theory,” now under attack in the current administration. Structured in three parts—raising a back talker, becoming a back talker, being a back talker—it begins with young Kimberlé desperate to play Thornrose in a classroom fairy tale, passed over week after week. When she's finally chosen on the last day and the bell rings, her mother marches back to school and demands justice. That's where Crenshaw learned to speak truth to power.* American Struggle edited by Jon Meacham — For the 250th anniversary, the historian assembles primary documents proving that struggle is constant and non-linear in American history. Abolitionists spoke out in the nineteenth century; civil rights activists had to speak out again in the twentieth. From Abigail Adams's “remember the ladies” letter to Fannie Lou Hamer's testimony at the 1964 Democratic Convention, Meacham—no fan of the current administration—shows that the fight never stays won. Patrick sees it as essential for librarians, teachers, and younger readers.* John of John by Douglas Stuart — Patrick's sneaky seventh pick (I originally only allowed her six). The Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain returns to Scotland, this time the Isle of Harris, where men weave Harris Tweed on licensed looms. John McLeod is a fire-and-brimstone church elder; his son Cal returns from Glasgow art college with dyed hair and queer identity. What looks like prodigal son territory becomes something richer—father and son have more in common than either knows. Stuart captures a community tied to sheep farming and craft practices that feel centuries old, even as modernity crashes against the shore.Enjoy!Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

    In this episode, Divya chats with Pallavi Sethi, a Policy Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment at the London School of Economics, where she works on climate misinformation and disinformation. Pallavi brings a unique perspective to this work, shaped by her background in advertising and media studies, as well as her experience in the fact-checking department for a large social media company. It was through these experiences that she began thinking more deeply about climate narratives and its influence on public perception. At the beginning of their conversation, they discuss some fundamental questions, such as what is climate misinformation and disinformation, what fact-checking is and how it intersects with debates around free speech, and, lastly, who bears responsibility for the information we see and share.  A central thread in Pallavi's work is her commitment to empowering the public — not just by calling for stronger platform governance, but by building media literacy and awareness so people can better recognize and challenge misleading climate narratives themselves. Pallavi has done extensive work in this area and brings sharp and thoughtful insights to an incredibly complex issue. But what is truly commendable about her work is that it does not stop at diagnosis; it also points to meaningful responses, such as the media literacy programs for kids in Finland and the efforts of a climate coalition called Climate Action Against Disinformation.  Pallavi discussed the role of Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD), a coalition of over 90 organizations working to make the information sphere safer regarding climate information. She explained that CAAD's collective efforts have been instrumental in putting climate disinformation on the global agenda, with information integrity appearing on the provisional agenda at COP30 for the first time. She highlighted that CAAD's strength lies in its ability to bring together diverse voices, making it harder for governments to ignore their demands.  Sources: Information on Pallavi's bio & background: https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/profile/pallavi-sethi/ Sethi, P (2024).

    For decades, Americans have been told there's one clear path to success: go to a four-year college, get a degree, and everything else will fall into place. But today's labor market—especially here in Idaho—is telling a very different story. In this episode of the Idaho Business Podcast, we break down why skilled trades like electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, welders, and fabricators are becoming some of the most in-demand and opportunity-rich careers in the state and across the country. We look at national labor data, Idaho-specific workforce trends, and the growing gap between job openings and trained workers. We also talk honestly about earnings, job security, student debt, and why many trade careers now rival—or outperform—traditional degree-based paths without requiring four years of college. This isn't an anti-college conversation. It's a reality check. If you're a student, a parent, a business owner, or someone considering a career pivot, this episode will challenge old assumptions and highlight where real opportunity exists in Idaho's economy today—and where it's headed next.   If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

    Top Stories for January 24th Publish Date: January 24th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 24th and Happy Birthday to Neil Diamond I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest 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: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: GCPS cancels weekend activities; no decision made for Monday classes Gwinnett County Public Schools is playing it safe this weekend—officials have canceled all activities scheduled for Saturday and Sunday due to the looming bad weather. “The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority,” the district said in a statement. As of Thursday afternoon, no decisions have been made yet about Monday. But the district promised to keep everyone in the loop if anything changes. For now, here’s the deal: All school events and facility use for Jan. 24–25? Canceled. Monday? Still up in the air. Stay tuned, and stay safe. STORY 2: NAME CHANGE: Coolray Field's naming rights are up for grabs; will be Gwinnett Field for now For 15 years, it’s been Coolray Field—home of the Gwinnett Stripers. But now? Say hello to Gwinnett Field. At least for now. Coolray Heating and Air’s naming rights deal ended in 2025, and while the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau hunts for a new corporate partner, the stadium’s getting a temporary rebrand. Signs are already coming down, including the big one on the outfield scoreboard (a crane’s needed for that beast). The Stripers’ website and new signage will reflect the change before the season starts in April. Meanwhile, Hall’s confident a new sponsor will step up soon. Even so, getting locals to stop calling it Coolray might take time. After all, even the apartments overlooking the field are named “The Views at Coolray Field.” Change is hard, but Hall believes people will adjust faster than they think. “Repetition works. Before long, they won’t even remember what it used to be called.” STORY 3: Four dead in shooting at Lawrenceville home; child’s 911 call leads to suspect’s arrest A tragic scene unfolded early Friday morning in a quiet Lawrenceville neighborhood—four adults were found dead in what police are calling a domestic shooting. It happened around 2:30 a.m. on Brook Ivy Court. Officers arrived after a “shots fired” call and discovered the victims inside the home, all with fatal gunshot wounds. Their names haven’t been released yet, but police confirmed there’d been prior calls to the house. Three young children were inside when it happened. Terrified, they hid in a closet. One of them—brave beyond words—called 911, giving officers the information they needed to respond quickly. When police arrived, the suspect’s car was still in the driveway. K-9 units tracked him to a nearby wooded area, where he was arrested without incident. The children, thankfully unharmed, are now with family. The investigation is ongoing.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - Gwinnett County Public Schools STORY 4: Athea King named executive director of the Suwanee Arts Center The Suwanee Arts Center has a new face at the helm—Athea King, a seasoned arts leader with a knack for bringing people and creativity together. Before landing in Suwanee, King worked at the Woodruff Arts Center, where she juggled everything from managing over 130 trustees to building partnerships and co-creating fundraising events that boosted arts education across Georgia. Her resume? Packed. She’s led gallery merchandising at Spruill Gallery, strengthened artist relationships, and turned their Holiday Art Fair into a record-breaking fundraiser. She’s also held roles at the High Museum, ArtCloud, and more, shaping her into a powerhouse of strategic planning, artist advocacy, and community programming. Oh, and she’s not just an administrator—she’s an artist herself. King’s fine art photography has been exhibited across the Southeast, backed by two Kickstarter campaigns. With a BFA in Photographic Imaging and a heart for collaboration, King’s ready to make Suwanee’s arts scene shine even brighter. STORY 5: Parkview senior earns Legion of Valor Bronze Cross award Candace Elkins, a senior at Parkview High, just earned one of the most prestigious honors in JROTC—the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. And honestly? It’s no surprise. As Cadet Battalion Commander, holding the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel (the highest in her unit), Candace has led with grit and focus. Her leadership mantra? “Focus on your weakness and exploit it until it becomes your strength.” It’s worked wonders, according to First Sergeant Nontron D. Ward, her JROTC instructor. This award isn’t handed out lightly. Out of 300,000 JROTC students nationwide, only a handful receive it each year. To qualify, you’ve got to be in the top 10% of your JROTC unit and the top 15% of your class. Candace? She’s crushing it with a 98.8 GPA, a class rank of 43 out of 731, and a JROTC GPA of 98.5. But she’s not just about academics. She’s also a varsity lacrosse player, a Color Guard Commander, and a community service powerhouse. Dr. Frank Jones, a district coordinator, summed it up: “She’s the kind of well-rounded, high-achieving student the Legion of Valor Committee looks for.” We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Dumpster fire damages exterior of Dillard’s at Mall of Georgia Wednesday night got a little too heated at the Mall of Georgia—literally. A dumpster fire outside Dillard’s turned into a bigger problem when flames spread to the building’s exterior. It all started around 7:28 p.m., when 911 calls came in reporting the fire. By the time crews arrived five minutes later, the dumpster blaze had climbed up the two-story parapet wall near the loading dock. Firefighters jumped into action, attacking the flames with hoses while teams evacuated the store to make sure no one was trapped inside. Once everyone—about 40 people—was safely out, crews tackled the fire that had spread to a nearby tree and worked to protect surrounding areas. By 7:51 p.m., the fire was under control, though smoke still lingered inside Dillard’s. Fans were brought in to clear it out. The damage? Significant to the parapet wall, but thankfully, the fire didn’t make it inside the main building. No injuries were reported, and medical crews on-site focused on firefighter rehab. Fire officials later ruled the blaze accidental, with the dumpster as the starting point. Dillard’s and mall management were on hand to assist emergency crews as the situation unfolded. STORY 7: Lawrenceville's Natalee Summers honored as Gwinnett Tech's top GOAL student Natalee Summers, an Early Childhood Care and Education student at Gwinnett Technical College, was just named the 2026 GOAL winner—and she’s still wrapping her head around it. A Lawrenceville local, Natalee’s roots run deep in Gwinnett County. Raised in Georgia since she was seven, she credits her family, church, and community for shaping her journey. She’s not just a student—she’s a leader. From serving as a Student Ambassador to organizing a pajama drive that collected over 500 pairs for foster kids, Natalee’s heart is in everything she does. Her path to Gwinnett Tech wasn’t straightforward. Financial worries made a four-year university feel impossible, so she started in Radiologic Technology—practical, sure, but not her passion. Through the GOAL competition, Natalee realized something powerful: her story matters. After graduation, she hopes to work in Gwinnett County schools and eventually earn her bachelor’s in elementary education.

    Maryland Governor Wes Moore is pitching a plan to close the state's $1.4 billion budget without tax hikes. Instead, he's proposing spending cuts, budget shifts, and drawing from a clean energy fund. The governor joined the show to break down his budget proposal. Plus, what's next in the redistricting battle.Maryland House Democrats introduced a bill Friday that would redraw the state's eight congressional districts. The changes could give Democrats the ability to flip Maryland's lone Republican District. This comes only days after the state's redistricting commission recommended a "concept map" favoring Democrats in Congress.Governor Moore said Maryland can't sit on their hands while President Trump pushes for redistricting in other states, like Texas. "This is going to end up being essentially the largest attack on black political leadership that we have seen in generations inside of this country," he said.However, Moore faces opposition in his own party. Senate President Bill Ferguson has so far opposed mid-cycle redistricting. But Moore's not deterred."Bill Ferguson is one vote, and Democracy doesn't stop because of one person," he said. The House is expected to vote on the bill next week. If passed, it would then head to the Senate for a vote.The D.C. Council this week selected Doni Crawford to take former At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie's job on the council. The former McDuffie staffer and Ward 5 resident is somewhat of an unknown to the general public, though well-regarded in the Wilson Building for her experience in negotiating housing policy and budget matters.

    For the 20th anniversary of the fourth My Morning Jacket album, we take a detailed look at how it was made. The band originally formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky by Jim James, Johnny Quaid, Tom Blankenship and J. Glenn. After signing with Darla Records, they released their debut album, The Tennessee Fire in 1999. Danny Cash joined on keyboards before the release of their second album, At Dawn, in 2001. Patrick Hallahan took over on drums as they signed to ATO Records. Their third album, It Still Moves, was released in 2003. At this point, Johnny Quaid and Danny Cash decided to leave the band so they held auditions and recruited Bo Koster and Carl Broemel. For their fourth album, they hired producer John Leckie and began recording outside of their home studio for the first time. Z was eventually released in 2005. In this episode, Jim James describes this pivotal moment for the band when they were challenging themselves by recording outside of Louisville with a seasoned producer. By working with John Leckie, they were able to rely on his expertise in the studio and push themselves in a new direction sonically. He discusses how their early characterization as a southern rock band made him want to evolve musically and try new approaches by incorporating synthesizers and drum machines. He also shares how he was experiencing depression at the time and struggling after the suicides of two of his close friends, Tim Cushing and Aaron Todovich. With the pressure of trying to make a great record mounting, he describes how his depression was clouding his judgement as he felt like this might be the last record the band would ever make. Luckily the band was able to continue and Z proved to be a turning point as new members Bo Koster and Carl Broehmel have remained two decades later. From borrowing a Juno synth and demoing with a cheap Walmart keyboard, to getting into Prince and Fela Kuti for the first time, to mixing at the legendary Sunset Sound, to calling on friends Andrew Bird and M. Ward to play on the record, to writing abstractly about the state of the world, to using music as an outlet for anger, to the enduring quality of these songs that continue to make the MMJ setlists, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

    In this episode, Dr. Laura A. Ward, Ph.D. in electrical engineering, and Sean White explore the practical realities of grid-forming inverters and their role in modernizing power grids. Drawing from her experience in Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria and her work as a Ph.D. intern on the analysis and modeling team for the PR100 project, Dr. Ward discusses the technical and policy challenges of adopting IEEE 1547-2018 and integrating renewable energy at scale. The conversation covers grid resilience, the importance of updated standards, and the future of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Listeners will gain insight into how the next-generation of power electronics technologies are being designed and implemented to create more reliable, sustainable, and resilient energy systems.   Topics Covered - Grid-Forming Inverter Technology for enabling more integration of renewables - Dr. Ward's career and her Ph.D. in electrical engineering under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Bayne at Texas Tech University in Lubbock - Experience as a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) intern - Impact of Hurricane Maria - Former University of Puerto Rico Teaching Assistant in Mayaguez Campus - Former Arizona State University (ASU) Research Assistant in Tempe - Resilience hubs, reliability, and stability studies - EIF Fellow at DOEE adopting and implementing the IEEE Standard 1547-2018 for DC grid modernization   Dr. Ward is an evangelist, technology innovator, and application engineer. Regarding the adoption of standards, she notes that Washington, D.C. has one of the most complex secondary network grids in the country, making the implementation of IEEE 1547-2018 significantly harder than in a suburban radial grid. Dr. Ward provided the technical leadership and engineering solutions to adopt IEEE 1547-2018 in the District of Columbia, specifically overcoming the technical barriers of high-density secondary networks to enable 100% decarbonization goals by 2032 and 15% solar generation by 2041.   Technical Contribution Citation: "For leadership in supporting the adoption and applying IEEE 1547-2018 to complex urban secondary networks, enabling the transition to high-penetration renewable energy systems." — Dr. Laura A.

    In this episode of the Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick engages in a profound discussion with Dr. Thomas Ward from Baylor University about Plato's influence on St. Boethius. The conversation begins with an exploration of Boethius's life, particularly his role as a Roman statesman and philosopher during a tumultuous time in history. Dr. Ward highlights St. Boethius's seminal work, "The Consolation of Philosophy," written while he awaited execution, and discusses its impact on medieval thought and the liberal arts tradition. The dialogue emphasizes St. Boethius's unique position as a bridge between Roman and medieval philosophy, often referred to as the last of the Romans and the first of the medievals.Visit thegreatbookspodcast.com for our reading schedule.Want to know more about Plato? Start here with our Plato playlist.And check out Dr. Thomas Ward's website!As the conversation unfolds, the discussion shifts to the Platonic influences on St. Boethius's writings. Dr. Ward explains how Boethius synthesized Platonic and Aristotelian thought, particularly in his understanding of the good and the nature of happiness. The episode delves into the themes of evil as privation, the nature of true happiness, and the philosophical journey from despair to enlightenment that St. Boethius undergoes in his work. The dialogue is rich with references to other philosophical texts, including the works of Plato, and draws parallels between Boethius's ideas and those found in the writings of later thinkers like Dante and Aquinas. Overall, the episode serves as a compelling introduction to Boethius's thought and its enduring relevance in the study of philosophy.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast02:24 Exploring Boethius and His Influence04:16 Who Was Boethius?07:49 Boethius: The Last Roman and First Scholastic10:18 The Liberal Arts and Boethius' Legacy11:36 Teaching Boethius: A Personal Journey14:07 Plato's Influence on Boethius18:50 The Consolation of Philosophy: Setting the Stage24:31 Lady Philosophy: Deconstruction and Reconstruction29:58 The Quest for Self-Knowledge30:51 Fortune and Its Dual Nature31:53 The Good: Bridging Plato and Christianity36:19 Happiness and the Divine Connection40:00 The Paradox of Good and Evil45:11 The Poetic and Philosophical Fusion48:44 Evil as Privation: A Platonic Insight52:08 Boethius: A Synthesis of Philosophical TraditionsTakeawaysBoethius is often called the last of the Romans and the first of the Medievals.His work, "The Consolation of Philosophy," was written while he awaited execution.Boethius synthesized Platonic and Aristotelian thought in his writings.Evil is understood as a privation of good, not a substance in itself.The journey from despair to enlightenment is central to Boethius's philosophy.KeywordsBoethius, Plato, Consolation of Philosophy, medieval philosophy, Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Thomas Ward, liberal arts, happiness, evil as privation, philosophy, Deacon Harrison Garlick, great...

    How do we get beyond the competition we often see among different Christian ministries and work together for God's glory and Kingdom? Churches and nonprofits are all seeking people's attention, their participation, and especially their funding. But they do so from a scarcity mindset, believing that any funding directed to one organization or church is funding taken away from their own. We all like to say that we work for the same Lord Jesus and for the sake of His kingdom, but in practice, we compete with each other.Into this fray comes Dr. Angie Ward, professor of leadership and ministry at Denver Seminary. She is a leadership author and teacher with nearly 30 years of experience in church, parachurch, and Christian higher education ministry. Her new book is Beyond Church and Parachurch: From Competition to Missional Extension (InterVarsity Press, 2025).In our conversation, Angie Ward offers a new blueprint for churches and all other Christian ministries toward a unified future.In our conversation, * Dr. Ward provides a comprehensive definition of “church.”* She explains why it is essential that we see the church in terms of the people of God united to participate in God's mission in a variety of ways.* She provides a new paradigm: “Missional Extensions.” This terminology helps us understand how various Christian ministries function and interact.* She provides practical ideas for ministries to cease competing and to start collaborating.

    Episode OverviewEast Tennessee guide Ellis Ward delivers his first fishing report of 2026 on The Articulate Fly podcast, covering winter tactics for both post-spawn trout and low-water musky fishing. Ward breaks down strategic adaptations required for fishing extremely low and clear water conditions that have dominated the region through early January, affecting both tailwater trout fisheries and musky rivers like the French Broad. The episode emphasizes post-spawn trout streamer fishing opportunities in late January and February, when trophy fish are feeding aggressively to recover after the fall spawn. Ward also discusses current musky conditions under challenging low and clear water, requiring downsized presentations and pinpoint casting to specific holding pockets, with the transition to pre-spawn musky anticipated in March. Additionally, Ward covers his intensive bucktail processing operation, having accumulated over a thousand deer tails for custom musky flies following the end of deer season. With water levels dictated by minimal tailwater releases and fish becoming increasingly spooky in gin-clear conditions, Ward explains timing windows for visiting anglers looking to capitalize on prime post-spawn trout streamer fishing and upcoming pre-spawn musky opportunities.Key TakeawaysHow to capitalize on post-spawn brown trout streamer fishing in late January through February when trophy fish are feeding heavily to recover after the fall spawnWhy low and clear water musky fishing requires downsizing presentations and focusing on precision casts to specific structure rather than covering water broadlyWhen to book trips around optimal moon phases and weather windows during the transitional period between post-spawn trout streamer fishing and March pre-spawn musky activityHow to execute sidearm casts to tight cover and confined holding areas when backcast limitations and spooky fish demand tactical adjustments in extreme low waterTechniques & Gear CoveredWard emphasizes post-spawn brown trout streamer tactics as prime winter opportunities, with late January and February offering some of the highest ceilings for trophy fish on streamers as they feed aggressively after the fall spawn. For musky fishing under current low and clear conditions, Ward discusses downsized fly presentations that facilitate better casting opportunities to tight cover with limited backcasts. The conversation details targeted approaches to four-by-four pockets, requiring anglers to identify specific holding structure rather than covering expansive zones. Ward discusses his extensive bucktail processing operation, managing approximately a thousand tails stored in two chest freezers and working through the dyeing and preparation process during winter. Equipment discussion includes the practical considerations of fishing in extreme cold with nitrile gloves and hand warmers while maintaining the dexterity needed for presentations in sub-30-degree weather, particularly important for anglers targeting post-spawn trout during early morning sessions.Locations & SpeciesThe French Broad River serves as the primary musky water, with Ward noting how extremely low and clear conditions require tactical adjustments throughout the winter period. East Tennessee's tailwater systems are emphasized for post-spawn brown trout streamer fishing, with Ward specifically noting that late January and February represent prime months when the ceiling is quite high for trophy trout that have completed their fall spawn and are feeding heavily. The interconnected nature of water management affects both

    The 2026 rookie class may be thin, but savvy dynasty fantasy football managers are already targeting second-year players poised for breakout seasons. Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara break down the sophomore standouts to buy low on and the concerning situations to avoid. Cam Ward showed significant improvement in the second half of his rookie season with the Titans, finishing as QB14 from weeks 11 through 17. With Tennessee boasting over 100 million in projected cap space and interviewing new head coaches, Ward's trajectory is pointing up. The Titans have the resources to build around their first overall pick, making him an ideal buy-low target in superflex leagues. The Jaguars running back situation is in flux. Bhayshul Tuten flashed in limited action, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and ripping off chunks in the wild card game. With the Jags tight on cap space and Travis Etienne potentially departing in free agency, Tuten could slide into a starting role. Dynasty managers should make moves now before his value spikes. Despite elite talent, Travis Hunter faces a crowded receiver room in Jacksonville. With Brian Thomas Jr. emerging, Parker Washington breaking out, and Gabe Davis extended to a massive contract, Hunter may see more snaps at cornerback where the Jags desperately need help. His fantasy upside remains uncertain unless he commits full-time to offense. 00:00 Start 10:10 Step Up: Cam Ward 18:54 Step Up: Bhayshul Tuten 26:07 FFPC 28:04 FastDraft 32:54 Step Down: Travis Hunter 40:55 Step Down: Kaleb Johnson 48:03 Honorable Mentions Start Using the Film Room Today!

    How did an early twentieth-century psychiatric institution help shape what would later become wilderness therapy? In this episode, our host Dr. Will White continues Season 26's exploration of a history of wilderness therapy by examining a little-known moment from 1901 at the New York Hospital for the Insane on Ward's Island. During a tuberculosis outbreak, hospital administrators moved psychiatric patients into tents on the hospital grounds as a public-health measure—an intervention never intended to be therapeutic. What followed surprised staff: patients living outdoors showed notable psychological and physical improvement. Drawing on historical research and overlooked accounts of early "tent therapy," this episode explores why those gains were difficult to sustain once patients returned indoors, and how institutional priorities such as efficiency, scale, and growth often overtook treatment needs. This story raises enduring questions about the environment, systems of care, and the challenge of maintaining change—questions that continue to shape wilderness therapy, outdoor mental health treatment, and institutional models of care today. This podcast is supported by White Mountain Adventure Institute (wmai.org), offering adventure inspired retreats for men and facilitated by Will White.

The Weight of Pain: Understanding that pain has a physical and emotional weight can help leaders connect with those they serve. Leaders should be willing to share in that weight without trying to fix it. Boundaries are Essential: Leaders must establish healthy boundaries to protect their own mental health. This includes recognizing when to step back from situations that may overwhelm them. Community Support: A strong community can enhance recovery and support. Leaders should encourage individuals to seek help from a broader network rather than relying solely on them. Forgiveness and Compassion: Leaders need to practice forgiveness towards those who may not show gratitude or who take advantage of their help. This allows leaders to continue serving without resentment. Opposition in All Things: Recognizing that challenges are a part of life can help leaders understand that they cannot solve every problem. This perspective fosters resilience and growth. Leadership Applications Creating Safe Spaces: Leaders can foster environments where individuals feel safe to express their struggles without fear of judgment. This can be achieved by openly discussing difficult emotions and experiences. Utilizing Resources: Leaders should leverage the strengths of their community by connecting individuals with appropriate resources, such as support groups or other members who have faced similar challenges. Regular Check-Ins: Leaders should regularly assess their own well-being and that of their fellow leaders. This can help prevent burnout and ensure that they are equipped to support others effectively.
