I need you right now. Me for what. My big sister needed me.I was 17 and she was 20. You know, Katie told me she needed me when she had brain cancer. About a year into her diagnosis, my brother and I were headed out the door to get ice cream.When she asked to go, I said yes, but this wasn't my best day as a caregiver. I slipped and I was tired and showed on my face that I was reluctant to bring her. In that moment, uh, I was balancing supporting my terminally ill sister and my own youth mental health.You kno ...

I'm Reverend Dr. . Katrina Foster and I want to talk with everybody today about servant leadership and as Jesus as a servant leader. Now, often we think of a couple of different ways that we get people to do stuff.Sometimes it is sheer top-down authority where we force people to do our will. Another way that we compel people or get people to do something that we want them to do is often through manipulation. Appealing to their fears and their emotions, trying to manipulate them into doing what we want them ...

[Music] Uh so before I begin, can I humbly request you all to kindly close your eyes and let's settle down and bring our senses to this moment. Can we do that together. It's not uh it's not an order, not in humble ability.If you wish to uh follow it, it's totally up to you. We can take deep breath in and breathe out. Double deep breath and breathe out.I'm sure there will be a flashes, a lot of thoughts coming through your mind, but let them come and go. And as they go away, let's settle down to this moment ...

Hello. Thanks. What are the first images that come to mind when you hear the words undergraduate student.Chances are you saw something like this. But what about this. What if we expand our ideas of undergraduate students to include the skills, knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and resources they bring with them to our classrooms.To make this expansion, we first have to interrupt the narrative of the disengaged undergraduate student. That story goes something like this. They don't read. They don't participa ...

[Musique] Alors, vous l'avez remarqué, j'ai commencé mon propos en vous appelant chers amis, ma prétention effectivement ce soir, c'est de vous appeler ainsi en raison même de vos convictions philosophiques et ou religieuses qui sont forcément pluriel dans une telle et magnifique assemblée. Et pourquoi ? Pourquoi cette prétention ? Et bien tout simplement parce que l'amitié est ce qu'il y a de plus universel. Aussi loin que l'on remonte dans l'histoire des civilisations, je ne connais aucun texte, aucune sa ...

All right, I'll be honest. Recently, the news has been hard for many Americans. Life has been hard. People are struggling. They're feeling disappointed. They're feeling un seen.

And after an hour, your arm would go up. The cup itself is not the cause of the pain. It is the time you spent holding on to the cup.This resembles our past trauma. The longer we cling on to it, the more it weighs us down. Yet water is essential for life.We cannot live without it, just like we cannot erase the memories of our pa ...
