Join our conversation with Nicole Doyley, a biracial woman raising biracial kids, and the author of What About the Children: 5 Values for Multiracial Families.Terminology: what is preferred-biracial, mixed race, multi-racial, mixed?Biracial includes Black/White, Black/Asian, White/Asian, Hispanic/Black, Indigenous/Black/Hispanic. In this interview, we are talking about mixed-race, but families can also be mixed culturally.Is it true that mixed-race is the fastest-growing group in the US?Issues facing biracial people in the US. Based on personal experience as well as a 2020 Vox Survey of Mixed Americans.No man's land of racelessnessHaving to always answer the question “What are you?”Not fully accepted by either raceWanting to ditch one race so as to be fully the other raceFeeling isolatedConfused identityRejecting the idea of having to fit into just one box As a child, you didn't like the ambiguity that biracial brought to your life. You say you felt a “two-ness”. But you came to view being of mixed race as a blessing rather than a curse. Why, as a child did it feel uncomfortable to you and how did you grow to accept it?Do you think a mixed-race adopted or foster child being raised by parents of a different race from them but the same shared race with each other will face different challenges? In the past, it was common to tell adoptive/foster/grandparents that the world was going to treat their child as Black (or another race), so you should focus your efforts on raising a Black child and not emphasize their other race. People in the US see race first. How should parents handle it?Does it matter if the child's dominant features make her look like she fits more squarely in one race?5 values for raising a biracial child:AwarenessHumilityDiversityHonestyExplorationBenefits/advantages to being mixed-race:Can function in both majority and minority environmentsTips for Raising a Mixed-Race ChildSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

Timmerie sits down with Katy Faust, the fierce, truth-telling founder of Them Before Us, to talk about something that should be obvious but somehow isn’t anymore: why kids need their mom and their dad. The Truth Your 4-Year-Old Already Gets Timmerie kicks things off with a conversation she had with her 4-year-old daughter, who declared (with all the sass and certainty only a preschooler can muster): t’s not true. They’re lying. Kids need a mommy and a daddy.” Out of the mouths of babes. In a world where everything is questioned (including whether moms and dads are interchangeable), this little girl sees reality clearly... and so does Katy Faust. The Cultural Crisis: When Kids Are the Casualties Katy explains how our culture has flipped the script. Instead of asking what children need, we now ask what adults want and then use kids to fulfill it. She explains why this is a major problem: Kids Have a Right to Their Mom and Dad Not just “a” mom or “a” dad... their biological parents. They’re the ones wired to love and protect that child in a uniquely fierce, sacrificial way. Adoption, Katy says (as an adoptive mom herself), is a loving response to tragedy, not a model for how we should design families from the start. Biological Identity = Personal Identity Children deeply need to know: "Whose am I?" When kids are cut off from their origins: via IVF, surrogacy, anonymous sperm donors, it fractures their sense of self. Gender Balance Isn't Optional. It’s Essential. Men father. Women mother. They do it differently. That’s a gift, not a glitch.Two dads, two moms, or three poly-partners can't replicate the complementarity of a mom and a dad. And when we pretend otherwise, kids pay the price... often through confusion, identity struggles, or even increased risk of abuse. Where the Battle’s Fiercest Katy doesn’t mince words. The two biggest cultural flashpoints where kids are denied a mom and dad: -Gay marriage made moms and dads legally optional. -Reproductive technologies intentionally separate kids from their biological parents in the name of adult “choice.” Real love puts kids first. Love = Sacrifice As Catholics, we believe children are a gift, not a right. And that means saying a loving no to practices that intentionally deprive them of their parents, even if it’s uncomfortable or unpopular. Want more? Check out Katy's book, "Them Before Us". It’s a total eye-opener, and it's a call to put children’s rights before adult desires. Kids need a mom and dad. And guess what? Even your preschooler knows it.

Every child in foster care has their own story, their own needs, and their own set of circumstances. What they all have in common is the need for a family to open a door to them and give them a soft place to land. May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and we're learning from folks doing the work right here in Kentucky. On this episode, we talk about how the placement process works, what support is available for foster children and families, and how to step up if you think you might have room in your own life to welcome a child who needs help.

In this episode, Trisha White Priebe—an adult adoptee, writer, and speaker—joins the show to talk about something we don't always think about: how families who aren't part of the adoption or foster care world can still help their kids understand it. There are plenty of resources out there for adoptive families, but what about the parents whose kids have classmates or friends who are adopted or in foster care? How do those families start the conversation?Trisha shares practical, thoughtful ways to help kids build empathy and have respectful, age-appropriate conversations about adoption and foster care. She believes every child can benefit from learning how to talk about different kinds of families—and that those small conversations can make a big difference.With honesty, Trisha brings her own experience as an adoptee to the table, offering encouragement and hope to adoptees, birth families, and adoptive families.

Recruiting Future is a podcast designed to help Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about technology. Most HR tech projects end in disappointment because organizations focus all their energy on implementation rather than adoption. If successful transformation is dependent on what happens after the go-live date, how can employers build sustainable tech adoption that delivers lasting business value? My guest this week is Melissa Hojwall, Global HR Tech Leader at H&M. H&M has over 100,000 employees, the majority of whom are frontline workers, making internal tech adoption both challenging and high impact. In conversation, Melissa talks about the strategies around implementation, adoption, and continuous change management that help make TA and HR Tech projects successful. In the interview, we discuss: HR Digitisation at H&M How AI can solve TA & HR challenges Predictive analytics The skills needed to get the right balance between humans and AI Tech adoption and change agility Investing in what happens after the go-live date Using resistance as a superpower Finding and showcasing the benefits to the bottom line Disrupting how we interface with technology What does the future of HR Tech look like?

This summer marks the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea, which promulgated the Nicene Creed. Along with Catholics and the Orthodox, many Protestant churches affirm the theology of the Nicene Creed, whether or not they use it in their liturgy or formal theological statements.

Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Frank Macchia is professor of systematic theology at Vanguard University of Southern California and associate director of the Centre for Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies at Bangor University in Wales. He is author of Tongues of Fire: A Systematic Theology of the Christian Faith, published by Cascade Books, and of Introduction to Theology: Declaring the Wonders of God, published by Baker Academic. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Open When . . .

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Bulent Cinarkaya, General Manager of Field Service Management at ServiceNow, to explore how AI is transforming the frontlines of field service. Often overlooked in the broader tech conversation, the technicians working outside the office are now seeing real, tangible improvements to their daily workflows thanks to advancements in intelligent automation. Bulent brings a wealth of knowledge from working closely with global organizations that rely on ServiceNow to improve how they plan, dispatch, and support field teams. We talked about how agentic and generative AI are no longer theoretical tools; they are actively used to predict what technicians will need before arriving, automate access to resources, and reduce inefficiencies in task planning. One of the most compelling parts of our conversation was how ServiceNow is using AI to improve productivity and enhance the human experience. From easing the onboarding of new technicians to capturing decades of experience from retiring experts, AI is helping teams bridge a generational gap in expertise. Technicians can now rely on intelligent systems to surface the correct information at the right moment, whether through summarizing technical documents or guiding them through complex tasks. We also discussed the operational impact, with examples from customers like Bell Canada, Coursera, and British Telecom, who are seeing measurable improvements in scheduling accuracy and time to resolution. Bulent stressed the importance of unified data models, integrated platforms, and strong change management as organizations look to scale AI to ensure adoption and success. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone still on the fence about AI in field service. AI is not only improving technician efficiency, but it's also helping companies retain talent, meet rising customer expectations, and ultimately future-proof their operations. So, how ready is your organization to move beyond proof of concept and turn AI into a field-ready advantage?

Romans 8:15-16 — The Christian may feel the Christian life is filled with burdensome tasks, an endless to-do list. When living in an antagonistic world, the tendency is to turn the faith into nothing more than a higher law. Holiness becomes nothing more than an occupation. To what does this lead? It leads to a wrongful fear of God; a tormented view, seeing God as merely a distant law-giver. This doesn't lead to a life of joy, but rather a spirit of bondage. In this sermon on spiritual bondage from Romans 8:15–17 titled “The Spirit of Bondage,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses this issue through examining the doctrine of adoption. The Christian is invited to call God “abba.” A slave cannot call their taskmaster “father”––only a child can do this. Adoption means that God is not a distant law-giver, but a father who is near. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that desire to live a holy life must not come not from an attempt to appease God. On the contrary, that desire to live a holy life is because He is the father and Christians are His children. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. The moment this is realized, everything begins to change.

Anthony Signorelli, aka Tony, endured the poor mental health of his wife, until her death due to cancer. With two young daughters at home the challenge was beyond the ability to function. Tony shares his story of trying to support and help his wife during this horrific experience, while running a business and keeping the household together. Tony also share his experience of being adopted at birth, and his findings of the commonalities concerning adoption along the way. He speaks of the natural fear of being abandoned, the fear of being left alone, the pain of having early life dreams squashed, and the feeling of never being able to live up. The risk of suicide plagued Tony's house, and we discuss how much of this chaos began to create another void. Roger shares his own experiences with his mother and her poor mental health, Roger's struggle with depression, writing into grief,  and the much larger theme of finding and living with truth. A vibrant conversation arises about acceptance, forgiveness, grace, allowance, and truth. Tony and Roger are both writers, and they have clearly spent thousands of hours by themselves figuring shit out. The net result of this episode is one of vulnerability, sharing, learning, and growing. The nuggets and valuable takeaways are many. The book:Daddy, Why Were You A Drug Addict?: Winning the War Amid My Angel and Devil Withinby Roger Ray BirdISBN 979-8218286651Available on Amazon for $11Roger's social directory: HERE

This week at Mission Church, Guest Speaker Chasen Behrends takes us through Galatians 4:1-7 as we look at the cure for spiritual amnesia. Do we find ourselves in a season of forgetfulness where we have forgotten where we've come from, what God has done, and what we have to look forward to?In this sermon, we see that the cure is to remember our adoption story: the truth that we were dead in our sins, God adopted us as His children, and has given us an eternal inheritance.

Simina Fodor: Building Bridges—How Cross-Department Champions Drive Agile Adoption Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Simina shares her experience leading an enterprise Agile transformation from her position in Project Management. Rather than pushing for immediate, wholesale change, she started small - seeking out interested colleagues, sharing case studies from other companies, and gradually building internal support. This patient approach took years before the organization officially embraced Agile and Scrum, but created a strong foundation of champions across departments. When business needs finally demanded faster releases and better responsiveness to change, Simina had already established a community of practice ready to support the transition. She began with a single pilot team implementing just daily standups, which then expanded into a full Agile program that ultimately facilitated her transition from Project Manager to Scrum Master. Self-reflection Question: How might building informal networks and starting with small changes create a more sustainable foundation for organizational transformation than top-down mandates?
