		<description><![CDATA[It’s been a while since I’ve heard from Rick, who always asks interesting “systems questions.” Today he asked: “I was just wondering what steps people can take to not be guided by the emotional programming they have acquired from their family of origin. How does one learn to separate oneself from this programming?” That&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s brain and learning concept: the brain learns through conscious and unconscious processes. A great deal of the insights we acquire and the patterns that we grasp are a consequence of ongoing unconscious processing, perhaps more than we realize or care to admit. Neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux (1996) wrote that he processes of the &#8220;cognitive unconscious [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s brain and learning concept: emotions are critical to learning. Generally, educational enterprises tend to separating emotion from thinking. Though the importance of emotions to learning has been acknowledged the connection between emotion and cognition remains, by and large, unaddressed. In recent years, more and more researchers are seeing emotions as important to higher order [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s brain and learning concept: the brain is social. Bowen systems theory and developmental psychologists stress that individuals must always be seen as integral parts of larger social systems. Part of our identity depends on establishing community and finding ways to belong. We begin to be shaped as the immensely receptive brain interacts with our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Henderson revisits the question about nurture vs. nurture in The Times (March 28, 2009). The piece is titled “Nature v nurture? Please don’t ask.” He claims to have an answer. Here’s an excerpt: The monster Caliban, according to his master, Prospero, was “a devil, a pure devil, on whose nature nurture can never stick”.

Here’s an excerpt: The origin of religious belief is something of a mystery, but in recent years scientists have started to make suggestions. One leading idea is that religion is an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not a stretch to realize that churches are probably the longest standing user of volunteer services. From teaching Sunday school classes, staffing committees to operating the various mission efforts churches are almost completely dependent upon unpaid volunteers. That is why the future of program and ministry leadership in churches is in jeopardy. Jeopardy? [...]]]></description>

She began our conversation by saying, “It’s probably a gender thing.” I’ve never found that a helpful way to start a conversation. My thought was that in my experience, “It’s only a gender thing if you make it a [...]]]></description>
