Sunday Jan 06, 2019
Sunday Jan 06, 2019
Happy New Year! Welcome to the first episode of Marc's Minutes in 2019!
(Note: I make a blunder right off the bat and say 2018 in the introduction to this episode.)
So many people contend that students need to learn to fail. How much failure is constructive? How do we introduce failure and adversity in the right amounts and environments?

MM38 - The Meaning of Baptism (part 3)
Saturday Dec 22, 2018
Saturday Dec 22, 2018
To close out the year, we are changing gears and wrapping up the 2018 podcasts with a 3-part series on the topic of baptism.
These three episodes actually come from a recent experience I had in baptizing my own daughters back in August of this year (2018). This is the third and final episode.
While it is not related to the field of education, I hope it expands the view we can have of Jesus. I believe it is also relevant because it reiterates yet again how Jesus Himself is the greatest champion of equal rights.
Let me also use this opportunity to promote the "Jesus H. Christ" series on Rob Bell's podcast. Here you will find tremendous content that will expose you to seeing the world the way Jesus sees it.
Thanks for listening! Merry Christmas!!!
