Though not completely based on Mr. Hartman and his efforts to, as he states, "put a spotlight on kindness," Uplift Media certainly takes some inspiration and aligns perfectly in the undertaking. In fact, when searching for good news stories, his videos come up more often than any other source. They are so abundant and good that we've had to intentionally not post some in effort to keep from duplicating his efforts and relying on him solely.
We are clearly not the only fans of him and his amazing news segment called, "On the Road with Steve Hartman" as he was recognized recently by the Canterbury School on March 6, 2024 hailing him as the "King of Kindness". The students at the school pile into the chapel area every Wednesday to watch his newest offering and simply love him like a celebrity rock star. Who better to admire and adore than a guy like that?
Hartman speaking to student at Canterbury School
Canterbury School Principal, Mike Landgraf says, "I don't think our kids can get enough about the message of kindness, right? Sometimes the world can seem pretty dark." Indeed it can and that is one of many reasons this media outlet was created to put more and more of that kind of messaging out there. If you are a newer member of Uplift, here is a reminder of our mission statement.
Principal Landgraf goes on to state, "Small acts of kindness creates this ripple effect and that is what we are hoping for with our kids...to inspire them to be kind people and help change the world for the better." Hartman agrees and even confesses that kids are his primary target and motivation to produce this kind of content. He postulates that, "adults watch and go 'that's cute, that's nice' they cry a happy tear but the kids say, 'wait...I can be like this and I'm going to be like this.'"
This event included an opportunity for Steve to give a speech and then afterward receive students in a procession line, answering their questions as they came through. Uplift Media salutes Mr. Hartman for his dedication to such a worthy cause and the unique way in which he figured out how to weave it into his profession. This will likely not be the last time you view content that flows through him and over to us. But isn't that exactly how kindness spreads? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
Its never fun when technical difficulties arise and prevent the show, concert, or sporting event from proceeding as planned. Most audiences are held captive as sound booth techs scramble to identify the issue quickly. That was the scene at a basketball game in the Columbus Ohio area between Waverly High and Portsmith West. This left kids and audience members standing at attention, some with hands over their hearts, others saluting in an awkward pause as the music never quite began. In the stands a talented man named Trenton Brown got an elbow nudge from his wife as if to say, "fix it honey." He knew exactly what she was doing because she of all people know how talented a singer he is adding to her prodding, "just start singing it" and he did exactly that. Soon the crowd joined in so that it was not just one man singing a solo. But even when fellow voices joined his, Mr. Browns certainly stood out and remained booming, proud, and beautifully patriotic. He took wh...
I admit it. I struggle with anger and frustration on a fairly constant basis. I think most men do although I know its not relegated to just us guys alone. Part of the prevalence might be tied to the fact that its one of the only emotions apart from happiness that men are allowed to feel. Most emotions outside of these two get you made fun of with descriptions like "soft" or "pansy" being hurled your way. So we tend to embrace anger early on and maybe even use it as a one-tone expression of many other emotions like a camouflaged tarp of sorts. Doing this allows us to hide the root of the true issue and avoid the potential assault of your manliness. It gets worse, at least for me. On some level I have managed to embrace my anger and frustration as mostly justified and a badge of honor. Allow me to elaborate and invite you to introspectively decide whether or not you can relate. First off, anger in and of itself is not a sin. Verses like Ephesians 4:26 state to ...
