Dwayne shares candidly about his own growth — recognizing how habitual reactions, unmet needs, and old internal stories can surface at home if they're not processed throughout the day. Emma adds insight into how unconscious patterns, primary questions, and survival wiring shape the way we show up with those we love most.Together, they discuss raising standards inside the relationship, practicing conscious awareness, meeting your partner's needs without expectation, and replacing self-judgment with grace.

As February fills our culture with pink hearts and romantic gestures, today's Valentine's weekend episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast invites families to pause and remember where love truly begins—at home. Before our daughters ever understand dating or marriage, they first learn what love looks like around the dinner table, in everyday conversations, and in the way family members treat one another. Rooted in the timeless truth of 1 Corinthians 13, this conversation reminds parents that real love is patient, kind, and formed through daily faithfulness, not grand gestures.    Host Patti Garibay is joined by beloved author and speaker Jessica Smartt, whose work encourages families to slow down, reclaim childhood, and build homes marked by warmth, joy, and connection. Drawing from her newest book, Come On Home, Jessica shares how intentional rhythms, shared memories, and Christ-centered priorities help families move beyond merely loving one another—to genuinely liking one another. Together, Patti and Jessica explore how Biblical love shapes sibling relationships, strengthens marriages, and gives girls a clear, hope-filled picture of what love is meant to be.    This episode offers encouragement for parents navigating busy schedules, sibling conflict, or seasons of disconnection. With humor, honesty, and practical wisdom, Jessica reminds listeners that a peaceful, joy-filled home is not built overnight—but through small, faithful choices that invite Christ into the center of family life. As Valentine's Day approaches, this conversation reframes the holiday as an opportunity to model Christlike love in ways that will shape a daughter's heart for years to come.      Scripture Referenced in This Episode:    1 Corinthians 13:4-7  John 13:34-35  Psalm 127:1      To learn more about Jessica Smartt and her books, visit jessicasmartt.com    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.        Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org

Hey GF

As Valentine's Day approaches, we're shifting the spotlight from romantic love to one of God's most foundational gifts: the love of family. On today's Thursday episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose invite you into a joyful, practical conversation about Family Game Night—and how simple moments of play can strengthen connection, build unity, and help our families genuinely enjoy being together.    In a culture where screens often compete for attention and schedules stay perpetually full, creating intentional space for laughter matters more than ever. Drawing from Psalm 133:1—"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity"—this episode reminds us that joy, togetherness, and shared fun are not extras in the Christian home; they're part of God's design. Whether your family loves fast-paced card games, outdoor competition, or classic board games, these moments of play can become sacred ground for connection.    You'll also hear a special Raising Godly Girls Minute from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, sharing why laughter and shared experiences help families weather busy seasons and deepen bonds. Rachael and Natalie reflect honestly on the challenges parents face—exhaustion, stress, and competitiveness—and offer grace-filled encouragement alongside practical "pro-tips" to help family game night stay accessible, meaningful, and focused on connection rather than winning.    Finally, the conversation ties directly into the heart of American Heritage Girls, where "faith, service, and fun" work together to shape joyful girlhood and strong families. From faith-based games to creative ways to invite friends into family rhythms, this episode will inspire you to carve out time for fun—and to trust that God uses even playful moments to cultivate unity and love at home.    Be sure to subscribe to the Raising Godly Girls Podcast so you never miss an episode, and join us again this Saturday for a special Valentine's Day conversation about memory-making and protecting the wonder of childhood. Until then, keep raising Godly girls—and don't forget to bring on the fun!      Three Things to Consider:    Be sure the games guarantee that every age of kids can participate! (And if it's Twister, parents you might want to schedule a chiropractic adjustment for the next day!)   While winning is fun, it's not the goal. I'm talking to you, competitive folks!   Make it a regular time on the family calendar that everyone can look forward to.        Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:    Psalm 133:1    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.        Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

As Valentine's Day approaches, this episode offers a reminder that love doesn't only live in romance — it also lives in friendship, shared purpose, and meaningful connection. In this conversation, Yvonne sits down with Gail Zelitsky and Catherine Marienau, co-hosts of the podcast, Women Over 70: Aging Reimagined, to talk about how a friendship formed later in life grew into a powerful creative partnership. Gail and Catherine share their individual paths — from unexpected reinvention and advocacy work to mentoring women returning to school later in life — and how their shared values eventually led them to build a platform amplifying the voices of women in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Together, they explore what it means to form deep friendships later in life, why collaboration looks different as we age, and how purpose and possibility don't disappear with time — they often deepen. This episode is part 2 of a series highlighting women who found friendship later in life and turned it into something meaningful. Gail and Catherine aren't just talking about what's possible after 70 — they're living it.

As Valentine's Day approaches in the Muggle world, romance is also a focus in this area of Half-Blood Prince. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they watch Harry watch Draco, watch Hermione regret her revenge against Ron, and watch Snape learn that Harry is suddenly good at Potions.  New Throwback Content: This Saturday, February 14 at 11am ET, MuggleCast will stream the Chamber of Secrets PC Game LIVE on our Twitch! It will later be available on our YouTube channel. A listener recently reviewed us being “as cozy as a warm blanket on a cold day.” We're very touched! If you feel similarly, be sure to tell us by leaving a review. Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 15: The Unbreakable Vow The MC Pensive segment takes us back to an episode we recorded seven years ago. Hermione decides to take Cormac McLaggen to Slughorn's Christmas Party, just as Ron feared she would. Is this revenge satisfying for the readers? Do we feel bad when it doesn't work out for Hermione? Should love potions be taken more seriously than they are, by everyone? Harry is (rightly) worried. Eric asks, how does Cormac not know how to show someone a good time? Harry says that he kinda always thought Filch and Madame Prince were a thing. The hosts pick apart that offhand comment... ...and then we speculate. COULD that be a thing? Filch and Madame Prince? What do they have in common? How does Mrs. Norris feel? Is Snape's attempt to detect Draco's lying ethical? We know there's more in it at stake for him. Should Draco have been suspicious that Snape was working for Dumbledore, based on Snape's emphasis on the importance of DADA for Crabbe and Goyle? What If?: Harry overheard that Draco's mission was to kill Dumbledore? What if it was said aloud? What would Harry do? Odds and Ends include the Number 12 (our favorite), and vampires. Our MVP segment asks who is the best character to take to Slughorn's Christmas party?

It's Monday, February 9th, and The Rizzuto Show kicks off your daily comedy show the only way we know how: by celebrating Chocolate Day, Pizza Pie Day, and the sacred holiday known as Brown Monday. Productivity is optional. Judgment is not.The crew dives headfirst into Valentine's chaos, breaking down which states are actually romantic (congrats, Alabama… we guess?) and which states are apparently just vibes and isolation. Missouri lands just outside the top 10, proving we almost care. Love letters are back, matching tattoos are a terrible idea, and AI-written romance is officially on Lern's list of marriage-ending offenses.Then things get spicy. A deep dive into cheating stats reveals which states are searching Ashley Madison the hardest (Colorado, what are you doing?), followed by the most unhinged cheating excuses ever recorded by mankind. From “I forgot to break up with you” to “that was my other personality,” the excuses get worse, dumber, and somehow more confident.The Super Bowl recap? Painfully boring. Commercials? Mid. Halftime show? Visually impressive, musically confusing, and guaranteed to make at least one person yell “I don't know this song!” at their TV. But the real Super Bowl tragedy was food.Moon's Wingstop pickup turns into a one-hour hostage situation, ending with half the order missing and everyone silently judging each other in a packed restaurant. Rafe attends a Super Bowl party with the weakest food spread in human history (Pop-Tarts were involved). The crew debates proper Super Bowl etiquette, shames weak contributions, and accidentally invents new snack-based laws.Then… the mystery deepens. Someone is drawing wieners on cars. Not metaphorically. Literally. Windshields across the area are under attack, and no one knows who the Doodle Wiener Bandit is. The crew debates drawing styles, angles, psychology, and somehow turns it into a full-blown art critique.Add in car cleanliness confessions, hoarder tendencies, Super Bowl party politics, awkward butt dials, and the emotional damage of waiting for wings that never came — and you've got another beautifully unproductive daily comedy show episode.Listen now, laugh irresponsibly, and remember: if someone brings Pop-Tarts to your Super Bowl party… they are not your friend.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Americans to Eat 1.48 Billion Chicken Wings for Super Bowl LXThe Life and Times of the Piggyback Bandit‘Piggyback Bandit' sows chaos in Northeast Ohio, prompting police responseChicken wing champs for Super Bowl: Americans to set consumption record during Sunday's gameWhat is the viral Chicken Banana song and why is it so popular?‘Vagueposting' trend sparks social media fury with intentionally confusing postsThis Southern State Was Just Named The 'Most Romantic' In The U.S.What is everyone talking about this week: As Valentine's Day beckons, love letters are making a comebackSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As Valentine's Day approaches, we call to mind the true gift of marriage. Marriage is not simply a contract or a feeling that comes and goes. It is a sacred covenant—an enduring promise of faithful love, rooted in God's plan and sustained by His grace.  In marriage, a husband and wife learn to love as Christ loves: with patience, sacrifice, forgiveness, and joy. Through kindness, honest conversation, and prayer, spouses become a witness of God's love to their children, their community, and our world.  If you are married, renew your vows to the Lord and one another. If you are dating or preparing for marriage, seek a strong foundation in the Lord. To all who live their marriage covenant, thank you for your faithful witness! 

With Valentine's Day approaching, your Fairyqueen , and close friend of Cupid, invites you into a heartfelt conversation about love, beyond the roses and receipts.Yes, Valentine's Day is commercialised. But what if the resistance to it isn't about capitalism at all, and instead reflects our own complicated relationships with love?In this episode, we explore why love matters, why it's a fundamental human need, and how our early experiences of love shape our capacity to love others and ourselves. From Maslow's hierarchy of needs to the foundations of self-love, and from fairy tale romance to the reality of reciprocal relationships, this conversation gently challenges cynicism and invites self-awareness.We flip the familiar phrase “hurt people hurt people” on its head and ask: what happens when loved people love people?This is an episode about belonging, self-worth, romantic love that feels safe, and remembering that love, in all its forms , is not something to fear or resent, but something you are deeply worthy of.As Valentine's Day nears, consider this your reminder: love is in the air, and love is yours to have.

Love isn't about finding the right person - it's about being the right person - someone who can love deeply, safely, and well, in addition to being someone willing to learn how to be that person for their partner. As Valentine's Day approaches, many couples are contemplating taking the next step in their relationships.

As Valentine's Day approaches, emotions around friendship, belonging, and affection naturally rise, especially for kids. In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch help parents use this season as a teaching moment, not just a holiday. Together, they unpack what true friendship really is and how it differs from casual relationships. They dive into why not everyone belongs in the same place in a child's heart. Dr. Kathy introduces a simple yet powerful framework for understanding friendship levels, helping kids learn healthy boundaries and trust over time. The conversation also explores why self respect is essential for meaningful relationships, why kids must know their own God-given worth before they can love others well. Rooted in Jesus' command to love our neighbor as ourselves, this episode equips parents to guide children through affection, disappointment, conflict, and connection with wisdom, clarity, and grace, shining a steady light through the emotional complexities that Valentine's season can bring.

When Ashley Manning's son started preschool, she learned that his teacher had recently lost her husband to cancer. As Valentine's Day approached, Ashley felt a deep pull to offer comfort. So, she arranged a bouquet and gifted it to her, simply acknowledging how hard the day must be. She was moved, and months later, she shared just how much that small act of kindness had meant. In that moment, Ashley realized the profound impact of showing up for someone in grief—a lesson that would soon blossom into something far greater. The Valentine's Day Widow Outreach Project, founded by Ashley Manning of Pretty Things by A.E. Manning, brings comfort and support to widows on a day that can feel especially lonely. What started as a small gesture of delivering a few bouquets has grown into a heartfelt movement, with hundreds of volunteers reaching widows across multiple cities. Through bouquets, the project offers a powerful reminder to those in grief that they are not alone. Manning's initiative not only uplifts widows but also fosters a spirit of community and connection. In today's episode of Celebrate Your Story, Bridget Hogue Costello, Head of Experiences at 1-800-Flowers.com, sits down with Ashley to explore the emotional struggle widows can feel during Valentine's Day, community strength, and the idea of giving as a gift.

In this sobering episode, A.B. Ridgeway shares the heart-wrenching story of an 84-year-old widow who was deceived into losing $98,000 to a sophisticated romance scam. As Valentine's Day approaches, it's a timely reminder to remain vigilant about online love interests and protect your loved ones from becoming victims of financial and emotional exploitation. A.B. breaks down the key steps scammers use to manipulate their victims and how to safeguard against these traps.Key Takeaways:Understand the Scam Process: Scammers typically follow a three-step method: temptation, isolation, and violation.

It's important to have trusted individuals to discuss financial decisions with, particularly in times of emotional vulnerability.Prevention is Key: Establishing a trusted "financial five" (advisor, accountant, lawyer, power of attorney, and executor) is crucial.
