Show Notes  This week on his blog, Sabbath Moment, Terry Hershey has been writing about the restorative power of brokenness. Terry writes this: “In embracing our wounds, they become sacred wounds, because grace is alive and well in brokenness. It’s paradigm shift time. Time to move from a project-management view of life, to a “wade-in” view of life. Life, in its brokenness, is not to be contained, explained, or fixed.” I really like the idea of moving on from a project-management view of life. It is so much better to view life as an exciting and unpredictable adventure, as opposed to a “project.” And, as we all know, with adventure comes disappointment and messiness. Perhaps the messiness of it all is the key notion we will discuss in this show because messiness includes being wounded and broken.

Today's guest is Connie Almond and Jane Howard-Martin. Teresa, Connie and Jane discuss diversity, inclusion, and creating authenticity.

Jane and Connie published an article in November 2021, "Does Your Workplace Encourage Conformity or Authenticity?" They discussed being your whole self at work and who you are without having to conform to someone else’s expectations of how you should show up in the workplace.

What's the old adage?  Give a kid a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.  Well the same thing holds true for riding bikes. Listen to this fascinating tale of two people in Georgia who built a non-profit (Bearing Bike Works) all geared around the simple idea of teaching "at risk" kids how to build and maintain their own bikes.  Earning a free bike for learning a new skill. And teaching them some valuable "life skills" along the way like persistence, patience and perseverance. And a new found belief in themselves.

Taking a risk on "at risk kids". And setting them on a new path. That's the story on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.
