Now more than ever before, the Internet is having a powerful influence on the way children look, think and act.

Human beings are hard-wired by God for community – but this generation of young people is “hyper-connected” for even more!

Aloha TTSP Listeners! Calling all Dog Moms and Dads! Moi Moi Market is now selling artisan made dog collars from Chiapas, Mexico. I'm in LOVE! But what I love more than the product is the mission of Amor Handmade. "Our project aims to address socioeconomic problems within artisan communities. For the majority of artisans, work is only seasonal and dependent on tourism. Due to these meager seasonal earnings, the next generation of artisans is abandoning their cultural arts for alternatives such as strenous work on farms or factories. This takes them on dangerous journeys far away from their homes for little gain. This results in the loss of culturally significant techniques, great personal risk for each artisan, and no way to improve their quality of life or economic situation. To tackle these issues, every sale at AMOR supports artisan women with steady local employment. With AMOR, they can work from the safety of their homes and not worry about when or where they can sell their wares. We pay upfront because their financial security comes first. We hope to preserve their arts and create a brighter, safer future for their families and culture." Bob Waliszewski, a former Focus on the Family Plugged In Movie Critic, talks with Chris about his journey of Amor Handmade and how it impacts artisans. What Bob found fascinating, was the alternative employment for these people...a modern form of slavery. So by purchasing a dog collar, dog leash, bracelet, and/or earrings you are empowering individuals to earn a fair wage while doing something they LOVE! Chris's mission is to increase the quality of products while using the artisan's craft and skill. Amor Handmade is focused on modern and practical products which is what is needed to help a small community break into a western market. It's exciting to pamper your pooch while using your dollar to change lives. And that's what Moi Moi Market is all about.

Hey guys! You don't want to miss this reflection. Bob Waliszewski shares his meditation on the 23rd Psalm. Many of us have read the psalm, some probably can recite from memory, but I bet you, like Bob, have overlooked an essential part of David's song, the part that says someone else has a stake in our lives. In Bob's many years as a youth pastor, director at Focus on the Family, public speaker and more, Bob reminds us that God's word always reveals something new to us and at the right time in the right season. We encourage you to listen in, and we hope that whether life is good or bad, we are reminded that there is Someone else invested in our lives. God, the Creator Loving Father, takes us on paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Not for our name's sake. It's easy to strive in life for our own glory. But Bob reminds us that the outcome of our current pain and struggles is only temporary, and can often time point us more to our purpose.   If what Bob shares is a bit foreign to you, and /or you have questions about what a relationship with Jesus means, then we encourage you to reach out on a DM @thetalkingstorypodcast.   Thank you to our sponsor www.moimoimarket.com:  A one stop shop for products of purpose

On Mother’s Day weekend we heard from several dedicated, hard-working moms (check out episode 30); now it’s prime time to hear from some dads! So dads: what are some of the most impactful things you feel you’ve done in your kids lives? If you had the chance for a do-over, what would you go back and do differently as a parent? What advice or wisdom could you lend to younger/future dads? Three of Bob Waliszewski’s long-time friends join The Talking Story Podcast this week to share insight from their own fathering journeys and answer questions like the ones above. Whether you’re a dad or not, we’re certain you’ll find something relatable with Mike, John, and Bob C. as they dive into some topics essential to fatherhood like patience, role modeling, showing emotions (“real men do cry!”), and “parenting from your knees.” Each of these men also discuss tough relationships they had with their own fathers, and how these served to shape and influence their own parenting tactics. We know Father’s Day is not an easy day for many. Dads, you can change the tides of what may be a family history of absent or deadbeat fathers by rising up and being the dad you wish you’d had as a child. Tune in today to gain some ideas of how you can do this. Until then, here’s a main takeaway: Your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. This doesn’t end as they grow up, move away, and no longer need your daily (or perhaps hourly) reminders to clean their room. Like their younger selves who needed you to spend your free afternoon flying a kite with them or sitting through their 3 hour long violin recitals, they just need you to be present in their lives (and your grandkids lives!) and available, whether it’s in person or through regular FaceTime calls or other digital avenues. The influence of both the present and absent father is long lasting and shouldn’t be underestimated. Fathers are truly ordinary people doing a most extraordinary thing: shaping, providing for, and guiding their kids, who are the next generation. Rise up, dads! Dads, sons, and daughters of all ages, we’d love to hear from you on this topic. Come share your experiences and takeaways from fatherhood or from being fathered. We look forward to reading your comments and hearing your stories. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram: Bob www.instagram.com/waliszrs Kelsey www.instagram.com/captkelseyhawaii   Thank you to our sponsor, MOI MOI MARKET, a one stop shop for products of purpose. We want to make it easy for you to combat sex trafficking, build schools, provide clean water and clean up our oceans just by how you spend your dollar!

Over 1 billion people do not have water! That's a fact we don't hear on the news, see on social media, or discuss in conversation. That means 1 in 8 people wake up every day wondering how they are going to find safe drinking water. However, Richard and Terri Greenly decided to use their business, Pumps of Oklahoma (https://www.pumpsok.com), to create wells and now businesses to meet the water crisis need. Water4.org was not always on Richard and Terri's mind. They knew they wanted to do more with their lives, but they weren't sure how. Similar to the Bible story of the loaves and fish, watching Jesus use the little food this boy had and multiplying it to where it fed 5000 people plus some, Richard and Terri watched how their humble business has been able to provide 1 million people drinking water thru 6000 wells. But not only have they been a part of meeting a need of clean drinking water, they have helped people find freedom, hope, and a future all because they lived a life of "yes". Simply and bravely saying yes to the opportunities in front of them, has been the building blocks to an adventurous and purpose filled life for both Richard and Terri. So what's the takeaway for us as a listener? Maybe you can join www.water4.org and give $12 to help an individual get water. Maybe it's supporting www.water4.org directly or buying from businesses that do. Or maybe, just maybe, God is calling you to step into a risky and scary opportunity right in front of you, but by doing so, your life will never be the same. And we guarantee the change will be for the better! My friend, I know and absolutely believe that you have your life for a reason, and it's not meant to be your own. That thru your time, resources, and/or money you can make a difference in someone's or maybe millions of people's lives! One way to make a difference is to support our sponsor, www.moimoimarket.com. They are a one stop shop of products of purpose. Every product that you see on Moi  Moi Market either helps women out of trafficking, provides clean water, builds schools, or cleans up plastic in our ocean. Be the change that we so wish to see in this world!   Questions, comments, and/or concerns? We want to hear from you! @thetalkingstorypodcast on IG or Facebook Co-host @captkelseyhawaii, Kelsey Waliszewski @waliszrs, Bob Waliszewski

“If you wanna go to Mombasa, Kenya, call this number.” One glance at a bulletin board containing these words at the back of a crowded mega church was all it took for an adventure seeking 18-year-old to pack up and go. One trip led to two, two to three, until this born and raised Texan was selling her beloved truck and all she owned for a 7 month stay…and counting.  That was 8 years ago. Yep, Jenny Nuccio never left.  The initial trips allowed Jenny to collect stories of children for sponsorship profiles, but while doing so her eyes (and heart) shifted to another group, one working tirelessly in the background— their mothers. These women were walking miles and miles to sell fruit for mere pennies. Jenny’s heart was captivated by their struggle, and sat down with their village chief, in 16 women began learning to make handicrafts with Jenny, and along with their sewing machines (funded by Jenny’s truck) became the pillars of Imani Collective, an ethical business fueled by artisans thriving on salary wages. Other village members thought it was a hopeless cause, but these women put their trust in Jenny, their work, and believed big things would happen. Imani’s handmade household products are now being sold worldwide, and their more than 100 creators are now able to save, buy land, and send their children to school. Imani Collective and its founder challenge the trending subject of fair trade in this episode, exposing several underlying issues. Tune in- you’ll want to hear how Jenny went from 0 (“I’ve traveled outside the country now, can check that off the bucket list”) to 100 (“OK, I’m gonna move here now!”), how Imani was born, and how ethical trade vs. fair trade allows Imani to address the needs of its workers holistically. And yes, how a true blooded Texan came to “sell her treasure to fund her dream,” in the words of host Bob Waliszewski. You can visit imanicollective.com to learn more and purchase their products, and should you buy a product, you can even meet and write to the specific artisan who made it! Stay tuned for a special Imani product coming to Moi Moi Market this Fall. Amazingly, Jenny also hosts a podcast similar to this one.

When you walk into Thistle Farms, you enter the lively atmosphere of a bustling cafe, where you are served by survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. Thistle Farms’ 20 years have seen thousands of women’s lives transformed from ashes to beauty, as they are rescued, counseled, educated and employed. In episode 9, we heard from Dorris and Katrina, beneficiaries of Thistle Farms. For this podcast, Bob Waliszewski had the privilege of flying to Nashville to talk with this incredible organization’s founder, Becca Stevens. It all began when her young son pointed at a billboard from his car seat and asked “why is she smiling?” Turning around, Becca saw an ad featuring a minimally-clad woman seductively sprawled across the board. It struck her that “Someday that little boy is not gonna ask that question. Someday it’s going to seem normal to him…I want him to say ‘we know what it means to love and respect women and have compassion for people we see.’” Thistle Farms was started that same day. The idea behind Becca’s organization is to give someone the kind of healing opportunity that she would want for herself. She doesn’t want to be the heroin, just a host relying on her tight-knit community to help her create beautiful healing spaces, rich with resources for the women who come there, leaving their old lives behind. A common idea revolving around people on the streets, in sex trafficking, prostitution, or with addictions is that they don’t want help. Tune in as Becca addresses this question, as well as her heartbreaking yet inspirational story, and how Thistle Farms is now part of a global movement to free women. Also join Kelsey as she wraps up the episode with a discussion on sex trafficking: how do we respond to it? How can we battle this worldwide atrocity? Listen in and join the discussion.

We’re on Instagram, looking forward to your reviews, comments, and conversations surrounding these podcasts! www.instagram.com/thetalkingstorypodcast Bob www.instagram.com/waliszrs Kelsey www.instagram.com/captkelseyhawaii

Bob Waliszewski and Kelsey Waliszewski debrief the last many episodes of The Talking Story Podcast. Kelsey shares some "how tos" in finding your purpose and discovering what truly fulfills you. What's super cool about this particular episode is that Bob opens up about his relationship with Leesa, his wife. They have been married for over 30 years, and although their marriage is far from perfect, Bob shares what he has learned about supporting Leesa in the areas of life she finds purpose and fulfillment. Bob also opens up about what is important to him, as a man, that he needs from Leesa to actively pursue purpose in his life.   Folks, grab a cup of joe and join Bob and Kelsey as they chat it up about finding that ultimate purpose and fulfillment in life. So often, especially in the western world, we make life about us. However, when we do, we find it to be empty and meaningless. When we start making our lives about helping others, it truly brings a joy, purpose, and happiness that you can't find elsewhere. Promise. And of course, as always, we want to hear from you. Follow us on instagram @ The Talking Story Podcast Or Friend Bob and Kelsey on social media as well (just click their names and FOLLOW) Oh and please please please! Find us on itunes, spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts and PLEASE leave us a review! It helps other people find us more easily. And don't forget to take a screen shot and share it on your social media AND/OR tell a friend about us, so they too can be inspired to use their life to change lives.

I like to travel. In the past two years, I've been to China, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and Kenya. But I'll admit, when I go to these places, I enjoy a bit of comfort. I don't have to stay in a 4 or 5-Star hotel, but I'm not chomping at the bit to stay in some flea ridden place that may (or may not) change the sheets on the bed -- if they have sheets at all.   But our guest for Podcast No. 5_ has a much different perspective. And that's one of the many reasons I've grown to admire her. And I believe you will, too.  Lenya Heitzig, in her words has pushed herself to become a "G.I. Jane" --traipsing through the jungles with machette in hand (well I'm not sure about the machette part). Pushing herself may be a bit of an understatement. Lenya calls herself a "blonde Malibu Barbie." You might be asking yourself if a Malibu Barbie can make a difference on this planet? I think you'll be saying, "Wow, yes they can!" when you finish hearing her story, a story that involves kids, terrorists, playgrounds, spent bullet cases, and an acronym she uses: C.A.N.   I know you'll be inspired by this podcast. But let me also say she's not trying to encourage you to become a G.I. Jane. She just tells us her journey and I think you'll be encouraged to follow your dreams and leadings too...wherever they may lead.   Kelsey   To learn more about Reloadlove visit... www.reloadlove.com    To purchase their beautiful products made from bullets visit www.moimoimarket.com or their website as well. www.instagram.com/moimoimarket www.instagram.com/ireloadlove www.instagram.com/lenyaheitzig   And be sure to subscribe, review, or start a conversation with us at www.instagram.com/thetalkingstorypodcast  Bob Waliszewski www.instagram.com/waliszrs Kelsey Waliszewski www.instagram.com/captkelseyhawaii Kids who have been C.A.N.
