They speak Dzalakha and follow Tibetan Buddhism, which is deeply woven into their cultural identity. Life among the Dzala is marked by poverty and simplicity, with little access to modern resources or gospel witness. No known Christians or evangelical believers exist among them, and they don't have a Bible or the Jesus Film in their language.

Part 1 Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morell Summary"Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats" by Sally Fallon Morell is a holistic approach to nutrition based on traditional dietary practices from cultures around the world. The book emphasizes the importance of consuming whole, unprocessed foods that are nutrient-dense and prepared in ways that enhance their health benefits. Key Themes:Traditional Diets: The book advocates for the dietary practices of traditional cultures that have maintained good health through natural foods. Fallon Morell argues that modern diets high in processed foods are responsible for many health issues.Nutrient Density: Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats are prioritized. She emphasizes the consumption of animal fats, organ meats, dairy from grass-fed animals, and fermented foods to nourish the body effectively.Preparation Techniques: The book focuses on traditional methods of food preparation, including soaking, sprouting, fermenting, and slow cooking, which are believed to enhance the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients.Raw and Natural Foods: Fallon Morell promotes the idea of using raw, unprocessed ingredients whenever possible. This includes advocating for raw milk and avoiding pasteurized dairy products, which she argues lack vital enzymes and nutrients.Animal Products: A significant aspect of the book is its defense of consuming animal products. Fallon Morell posits that healthy fats from animals are crucial for optimal nutrition and should be consumed liberally.Cultural Insights: The book incorporates cultural and historical analyses of global eating practices, providing insights into how various societies have thrived on their unique diets.Critique of Modern Nutrition: Fallon Morell is critical of the mainstream nutritional guidelines that promote low-fat diets and discourage cholesterol consumption. She argues these have led to increased rates of chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. Conclusion:"Nourishing Traditions" serves as a call to return to the dietary practices that have sustained humanity for centuries. It encourages readers to embrace whole, natural foods, prepare them in traditional ways, and rethink their views on fat and animal products. The book provides numerous recipes and practical advice for incorporating these ideas into everyday meals.Part 2 Nourishing Traditions AuthorSally Fallon Morell is an American author and a prominent advocate for traditional diets, best known for her work in the field of nutrition and health. She is the founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting nutrient-dense, traditional foods and returning to ancestral dietary practices.

Kris welcomes the joy-inducing and magnetic Regina Miller, a nationally recognized trainer, author, and owner of Trailblazers Academy in Wichita, Kansas. With nearly five decades in early childhood education and 35 years in leadership, Regina shares fantastic insight into what it really takes to lead a team, stay connected as an owner, and build lasting impact in your center.   Regina shares some great takeaways from her new book Leadership Lessons, including how to hire smarter, mentor without ego, and avoid becoming an absentee owner. Kris and Regina also talk about how to stay engaged, inspire your staff, and create a culture that works, starting at the top.   Key Takeaways: [5:05] Some exciting new info about the Summit!                                                                                           [7:06] Regina brings more than 47 years of experience in early childhood and 35 years in leadership, with a clear focus on mentorship, literacy, and building long-term community impact. [8:58] After losing her daughter in 2022, Regina downsized her center to honor her daughter's dream and now focuses on a smaller, literacy-driven program model. [11:46] She has no plans to retire and emphasizes purpose-driven longevity in leadership, reinforced by consistent self-care and boundaries. [14:13] The beauty of an early wake-up time. [17:02] Her newest book, Leadership Lessons, was years in the making and centers on transparency, personal growth, and lessons from mistakes made as a leader. [20:34] Regina encourages leaders to stop being intimidated by talented hires. She views strong team members as a resource to grow the organization, not as a threat. [23:18] New directors often assume the title alone is enough. Regina challenges them to build systems, listen to input, and avoid siloed decision-making. [25:59] Veteran leaders can become disconnected. She emphasizes the importance of owners remaining present and actively involved in culture-building. [30:18] Regina is deeply involved in policy advocacy and stresses the need for early educators to be consistently vocal with legislators, not just during funding crises. [34:04] Fun fact: You may catch Regina on the dance floor, and she moved for four hours at her own birthday party! [34:24] Joy and energy are core to Regina's leadership style, and she believes team morale can be shifted through presence, celebration, and meaningful connection. [36:13] The connection between dancing and leadership. [39:03] For introverted leaders, Regina recommends finding trusted allies, preparing in writing, and participating in leadership through small, strategic actions. [41:54] Regina uses creative, real-world training exercises, like immersive people-watching in Las Vegas, to help emerging leaders build confidence and self-awareness. [45:04] Her upcoming literacy program not only supports child development but also functions as an enrollment strategy by drawing families back into the center.   Quotes: “I believe that all of us have a part. So there's no better school, bigger school, best school. There's all of us, and then there are all of these children that need us.” — Regina [8:43]   “Hire someone smarter than you.” — Regina [22:08]   “As a new leader, be willing to listen.” — Regina [24:14]   “Leaders cannot ask of their people what they're not willing to do themselves. And a lot of times you can't just delegate that down.” — Regina [29:28]   “Once I dance, I make everybody dance. I can boogie off anything you give me.” — Regina [39:29]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Leadership Lessons Trailblazers Academy Funding and Advocacy for ECE, Across All 50 States with Cindy Lehnhoff Sasquatch music festival 2009 — Guy starts dance party

In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol sit down with child care business owner Vaudrien Ray to share how she—and her supportive husband, William—made exactly that happen.   Listen in as Vaudrien shares how her career as a school psychologist inspired her to create proactive early learning experiences for her own child—and eventually for hundreds of others in her community. What began as a six-child home-based program grew into a thriving center rooted in her family legacy. You'll also hear the touching story behind the name Ruby's Academy, a tribute to her grandmother's historic one-room schoolhouse.   Join us to discover how coaching helped Vaudrien break free from 60-hour weeks, build strong systems, and implement bold programs like Spanish immersion—all while reclaiming her time, her peace of mind, and her quality of life. With William by her side handling operations and real estate, the two have built something truly special.   Brian and Carol also shine a light on the magic that happens when you surround yourself with like-minded owners—and why having an accountability buddy who keeps it real can be a total game-changer.

Jesus' Neighbor, and Yours Luke 10:25–37 | The Parable of the Good Samaritan Who is my neighbor? It's a question asked not just by a lawyer in Jesus' day, but by many of us still today. In one of the most well-known parables, Jesus shows that our neighbor is not defined by geography, background, or even behavior—but by need. The one who needs your mercy is your neighbor. The hymn reminds us, “The Law of God is Good and Wise” (LSB 579), and that law calls us to love, serve, and show mercy to all whom God places before us—yes, even the unlovable, the overlooked, and the outright difficult. Whether it's the wounded, the wicked, or the weary, the call is the same: “Go and do likewise.” Christ Himself is the ultimate Good Samaritan—He did not pass us by in our sin and death but came to us, bore our burdens, and paid the cost to make us whole. Now, in His mercy, we are set free to do the same for others.

ICYMI, this episode aired in spring of 2025 and OHHH BOY did it fire a lot of you up! In this episode, I had an enlightening conversation with Erica Komisar, a psychoanalyst and author of Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters. Erica shared her extensive research on the critical importance of a mother's physical and emotional presence in the early years of a child's life. We discussed the myths surrounding "quality time," the detrimental effects of daycare, and the cultural shifts that have led parents to prioritize careers over their children. Erika emphasized the unique roles of mothers and fathers, the long-term impact of early childhood experiences, and offered practical advice for parents who may have made common mistakes. This episode is a deep dive into understanding how to raise emotionally resilient and well-adjusted children in today's fast-paced world.Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction to Erika Komisar00:01:36 - Lies About Raising Babies00:08:05 - The Stress of Modern Parenting00:40:08 - Issues with Daycare00:42:49 - ADHD and Fear00:43:08 - Reversing ADHDMY Go Big Podcasting Courses Are Here!
