EP 17: This Is Not a Test: 10 Ways Instructors Measure Learning Beyond Grades
Is an "A" really the best indicator of learning? Or is it just proof that a student figured out the system? In this episode of The What and Who of EDU, we explore 10 creative, surprising, and inspiring ways educators are measuring learning beyond the gradebook. Because the real story of learning is bigger, messier, and far more meaningful.

To lament what’s broken. To remember the world we’re still dreaming of. To honor our anger without letting it consume us. And to cling to hope, not because it’s easy—but because it’s necessary.For anyone fee...

We talk all things community model, its benefits for player development, and why Minnesota hockey is so successful. In this episode we talk about: — How playing experience isn’t what the best coaches have in common — How everyone has to have a seat at the table to encourage hockey growth — Building programs, and not just creating individual teams within a program — How it’s not what you coach, it’s how you coac...

Baptist at its Best (and Worst)
This week on Sunday Sermons, we’re not sugarcoating it.From defrocked mega-church pastors to Bible-wielding culture warriors, a whole lot of Christianity is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Again.But right in the middle of that mess, we baptized two kids. And it reminded me — baptism was never meant to be a religious loophole or a spiritual status symbol. It’s not a ticket to heaven or a shield from accountability.It’s a calling.A commitment.A chance t...

The Good Samaritan Exists! Go and Do Likewise
You know the story - The Good Samaritan. It's one of the most well-known parables Jesus ever told—so familiar, in fact, that we sometimes forget just how shocking, radical, and disruptive it was to his first audience. And honestly? It still is. Because it calls out the hypocrisy of religion without compassion, and it redefines what it means to be a “neighbor.” It's not about proximity, or shared beliefs—it’s about action. About 'doing' love, not just feeling it. In this episode of Sunday Sermons with Pastor Mike, we’re not just revisiting t...

In today's episode of Sunday Sermons, recorded on Easter Sunday, live at Faith United Church of Christ, in Dunedin, FL, we will be discussing whether Easter is holy or hokey. Hokey means 'phony' and it sure seems in this day and age that a lot of Christianity falls into that camp, with beliefs about the resurrection of Jesus being more important than living a life based on his words.

Can I Call Myself a Christian Today?
This week's episode of Sunday Sermons w/Pastor Mike is a theologically progressive examination of the question - given the current political and theological form of Christianity today - can I (can you) continue to call yourself a Christian? Christianity has always been an obviously historically constructed paradigm, flittered down to us today through centuries of interpretation and cultural nuances. No where is this more obvious than the Nicene Creed, that statement of absolute faith many of us grew up repeating weekly and often without any critical thinking.

In These Times, Choose Hope: Never Despair
These days are hard. if you are not the four-letter kind of person that starts with M and ends with A, well life feels really hard right now. A word I hear a lot from people is despair. But despair is intolerant of hope. Therefore we cannot despair, but must choose hope, joy and peace in our lives. Taking a cue from the Apostle Paul, this sermon calls us to recognize the realities of life, but to avoid falling into despair and instead striving to continue to build exactly the kind of world we want - one of inclusion...
