    Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets featuring Buffanny Hunter, whose mission is grounded in the belief that community organizations must be responsive to the evolving and real needs of those they serve. Rejecting generic or one-size-fits-all solutions, she champions a model of leadership built upon deep listening and partnership with local communities. Buffanny's work at the Junior League of Los Angeles has centered on supporting foster youth and transition-age foster youth, recognizing the array of intersectional challenges they encounter and ensuring aid is relevant, direct, and impactful. Her leadership style is demonstrated through collaborations with organizations such as Happy Trails, Friends of LA, United Friends of the Children, and Alliance for Children's Rights. Through these partnerships, Buffanny advances programs focused on college readiness, financial literacy, and mental health, while also ensuring emergency needs—like assistance for rent or food—are met. Her approach proves that impactful leadership stems from meeting people where they are, listening first, and adapting services to the unique circumstances of those in need. To honor Buffanny Hunter's mission, take action in your own community by embracing inclusive leadership, active listening, and adaptive support for those in need. Seek out opportunities to partner with local organizations, advocate for vulnerable and underserved populations, and ensure your efforts are grounded in genuine understanding and collaboration. By following Buffanny's example, you can play a direct role in building resilient, equitable communities and making meaningful, lasting change for those who need it most.

    How Faith Shapes a Legacy of Giving with Boyd Bailey

    Did you know that over the next two decades, trillions of dollars will pass from one generation to the next?The question is—what kind of legacy will that transfer leave behind? Today, Boyd Bailey joins us to talk about how generosity is about more than dollars—it's about discipleship, financial literacy, and passing on wisdom along with wealth.Boyd Bailey is the President of the National Christian Foundation (NCF) in Georgia, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of several books, including his latest, The Power of Generosity: Experiencing God's Amazing Abundance – How to Change the World Through Acts of Kindness.What Makes NCF UniqueFounded in 1982 by Larry Burkett, Ron Blue, and Terry Parker, the National Christian Foundation (NCF) has helped mobilize over $21 billion for more than 90,000 charities and ministries worldwide.From the beginning, NCF has understood that when you carry Christian in your name, you also carry a sacred responsibility. Their mission is to walk alongside believers—to help them make the most of what God has entrusted to them—and they always start with the heart.Before discussing strategy, NCF encourages donors to discern God's call on their generosity through prayerful consideration. Only after that heart work do they explore practical tools—how to give wisely, save on taxes, and maximize Kingdom impact.One of NCF's most effective tools is the Giving Fund, a type of donor-advised fund that functions like a “charitable checking account.” Even with limited tech experience, you can open a Giving Fund online in less than a minute. It makes giving spontaneous and simple—whether you're inspired at a church service or a fundraising dinner.But convenience isn't the goal—discipleship is. Many families establish Giving Funds for their children, helping them embark on their own journey of generosity. And NCF encourages creative giving, too—through appreciated stock, real estate, or even a business interest—allowing donors to give more while paying less in taxes.Generosity and Wise StewardshipStewardship and generosity aren't opposites—they're two sides of the same coin. Stewardship manages what God provides; generosity releases it for His purposes. Without generosity, stewardship is incomplete.As Paul writes in 1 Timothy 6:17–18, believers are to “put their hope in God, who richly provides,” and to “be rich in good deeds.” Generosity, then, isn't just about giving—it's about protecting our hearts from the idols of wealth and security that compete for our devotion.For those struggling to give during uncertain times, it helps to broaden the definition of generosity. It's not limited to money—it also includes time, attention, and hospitality.Still, fear and busyness often prevent families from discussing giving or wealth transfer. The best approach? Plan early. Invite everyone. Don't go it alone. Bring in a trusted advisor or friend to help facilitate the conversation. Why wait until after you're gone for your kids to experience the joy of giving? Use your influence now to model Kingdom-minded generosity.A Simple Way to StartAs year-end approaches, consider whether an NCF Giving Fund could help you take your next faithful step in generosity. It's simple to set up, easy to use, and profoundly impactful for both you and those you bless.To learn more—or to open your own Giving Fund—visit FaithFi.com/NCF.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are helping our young adult son build credit. I've heard you discuss secured credit cards, but I'm also curious about whether utility bills can serve a similar purpose. You mentioned something about reporting—where does that information actually go when utilities are reported? Also, my husband and I have been debt-free for years—not even a mortgage. We share one credit card, and he was listed on it with me. We thought that would help both of our credit scores, but recently discovered that his credit disappeared. Do we need to specifically list him as an “authorized user” for it to be counted toward his credit history? I'm not sure what went wrong.I'm considering changing financial advisors and would like to understand the key concerns to keep in mind—whether it's switching to a new advisor within the same company or transferring my investments to a different institution.

    For the second year in a row, Rabbis for Ceasefire held a Yizkor service on the streets of Brooklyn, using the traditional Yom Kippur memorial service as a means to mourn the dead in Gaza, to atone for American and Jewish communal participation in the genocide, and to refuse further complicity. After the Yizkor service—attended by 1,500 people and watched online by ten times that number—rabbis and others blocked the Brooklyn Bridge while performing the Ne'ilah service that closes the holy day; dozens were arrested. In this episode, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with Rabbis for Ceasefire organizers Alissa Wise and Elliot Kukla about their experience planning and carrying out this ritual action, and what it revealed about the nature of the tradition itself. They also discuss the power of collective grief, and the difference and interrelation between Palestine solidarity work and the work of building a Judaism beyond Zionism. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Arthur Waskow.

    How are our kids actually spending their time — and is it aligned with what we value for our families' lives and for our children's well-being? This week, Amy and Margaret discuss: How sleep too often loses out to homework and activities Time tracking and the sobering truth it can show about how many hours a week our kids actually spend on screens How outdoor time and free play, too often in short supply, affects creativity, independence, and self-regulation Strategies for families to audit time, realign priorities, and invite kids into decision-making It's worth the effort to track how our time is actually spent.

    The federal government shutdown is now in its fourth week. Over 700,000 federal employees have been furloughed, with nearly as many continuing to work without pay, yet there are still no signs that an end to the shutdown is near. “Unlike past presidents, Mr. Trump appears to feel little urgency to strike a deal to reopen the government,” Luke Broadwater writes at The New York Times. “Instead, he has used the shutdown, which began Oct. 1, as an opportunity to further remake the federal bureaucracy and jettison programs he does not like, seizing on unorthodox budgetary maneuvers that some have called illegal.” In this episode, we speak with three furloughed federal employees about the harm government shutdowns cause working people, and we discuss why this shutdown is different. Guests: Adam is a furloughed federal employee who works in recreation for the US Forest Service, managing hiking, biking, and equestrian trails in central Idaho. He serves as chapter president of National Federation of Federal Employees Local 1753, and he is an organizer with the Federal Unionists Network.

    Autism isn't new, but our understanding of it has changed dramatically. It's now recognized as a broad neurodevelopmental spectrum that shapes how millions of people perceive, process, and interact with the world. In this episode, we explore what autism is AND isn't, from its earliest signs in infancy to its deep genetic roots, and why misinformation about it continues to spread. We speak with three remarkable experts leading the field in early detection, genetics, and public education: DR. AMI KLIN, PhD, Director of the Marcus Autism Center at Emory University and a pioneer in early autism research, whose work shows autism can be identified in babies as young as two months old. DR. JOSEPH BUXBAUM, PhD, Director of the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai and a global leader in autism genetics, uncovering hundreds of genes linked to the condition. DR. ANDREA LOVE, immunologist, microbiologist, and founder of ImmunoLogic, known for her clear, evidence-based communication about vaccines, immunity, and autism myths. Together, we discuss: • What autism really is, and how the definitions have evolved • How it develops in infancy (and why early diagnosis can be so critical) • The powerful genetic evidence behind autism • The persistence of vaccine myths, and how misinformation spreads • How technology like eye-tracking can detect autism early • The rise of “profound autism” and what it means for families • The future of genetics-based treatments and therapy Whether you're autistic yourself, a parent navigating a new diagnosis, or simply seeking understanding, we're thrilled to share this extensive, in-depth episode with you.

Major Cohort Studies Hviid et al., 2019 – Annals of Internal Medicine A nationwide study of 657,461 Danish children found no increased risk of autism in vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated peers — even among those with risk factors such as a sibling with autism. Ann Intern Med. 2019;170(8):513–520 Madsen et al., 2002 – New England Journal of Medicine In 537,303 Danish children, researchers found no difference in autism rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, and no relationship with age, timing, or date of vaccination. NEJM. 2002;347:1477–1482 Jain et al., 2015 – Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) A U.S. cohort of 95,727 children — including those with siblings with autism — showed no link between MMR vaccination and autism risk, even in genetically predisposed children. JAMA. 2015;313(15):1534–1540 Madsen et al., 2003 – JAMA A study of 467,450 Danish children found no relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. JAMA. 2003;290(13):1763–1766 DeStefano et al., 2022 – Vaccine A retrospective cohort of over 500,000 U.S. children with ASD found no increase in adverse events or worsening of autism-related symptoms following vaccination. Vaccine. 2022;40(16):2391–2398 2. Population-Level Epidemiologic Evidence Taylor et al., 1999 – The Lancet One of the earliest large epidemiological studies found autism prevalence was the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated children, and the age of onset was unrelated to the timing of MMR vaccination.

Read: National Academies Press / PubMed 20669467 3. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Taylor et al., 2014 – Vaccine A comprehensive meta-analysis of 10 studies including over 1.2 million children found no association between vaccination and autism or ASD. Vaccine. 2014;32(29):3623–3629 Maglione et al., 2014 – Pediatrics Review of 67 high-quality studies covering the full U.S. immunization schedule concluded that vaccines are safe, adverse events are rare, and there is no link to autism, type 1 diabetes, or other chronic conditions. Pediatrics. 2014;134(2):325–337 Parker et al., 2004 – Pediatrics Systematic review of 10 primary studies examining thimerosal exposure found no relationship between vaccines and ASD.

Pediatrics. 2004;113(6):1904–1910 Offit & Hackett, 2003 – Clinical Infectious Diseases Review of immunology and epidemiology concluded that claims that vaccines “overwhelm” or “damage” the immune system are not biologically plausible based on how the immune system actually functions.

For $150, guests can personally meet Ferragamo Jr. and select a bottle of either the highly rated Super Tuscan Il Borro or the Brunello di Montalcino from Pinino.

    In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Gil Blander sits down with Florence Comite, MD, physician-scientist and founder of the Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity. They explore why a one-size-fits-all approach to longevity falls short and how personalized data, from biomarkers to genetics, can spot early signs of disease before symptoms appear.Florence explains her “Nof1” method, which uses deep testing, wearables, and personal history to craft precise health plans. She highlights how sleep, more than exercise or diet, shapes long-term health but remains hard for most people to optimize. Using real-world examples, Florence shows why tracking markers like insulin and hormones matter, and why most people need support to turn health knowledge into action.The conversation covers the limits of standard medical care, the value of knowing your family history, and how even the best routines must adapt over time. Florence urges listeners to get curious about their own data and take steps—however small—toward better health.Guest-at-a-Glance

    Daily Bible for Kids - October 22nd, 25: An Angel Frees Peter: God's Rescue and Power in Acts 12

    Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for Kids! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through an extraordinary story from the Book of Acts. We hear about King Herod's persecution of the early church, the dramatic arrest of Peter, and the miraculous intervention of an angel who sets Peter free from prison. As believers gather to pray, God shows His power to rescue and help in times of trouble. Along the way, Hunter reminds us of the importance of prayer, the strength we get from God's presence, and the unshakable truth that we are deeply loved. Gather around for this inspiring adventure through scripture, and get ready to be encouraged in your own walk with God! TODAY'S DEVOTION: God hears the prayers of His people, and He is powerful to rescue. What an incredible story we hear today in the book of Acts! Peter was in a tough spot—arrested, imprisoned, and kept under heavy guard. It looked hopeless, but the church didn't give up. Instead, they prayed—earnestly, together. And God answered their prayers in a stunning way, sending an angel to set Peter free. Chains fell off, gates opened by themselves, and Peter walked right out of the prison, not even sure if it was real at first! Sometimes in life, we or our friends might face problems or things that seem impossible, just like Peter did. But God invites us to come to Him in prayer. He is strong, He is willing to help, and He is always with us. Sometimes the answer will surprise us, just like it did for Peter and the praying church. Sometimes God gives us strength to endure, or He sends help in ways we can't imagine. Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. You're never alone—even when things seem dark or impossible. God's love and power can reach right into your situation. He can set you free, give you peace, and surround you with His care. So when you are in trouble, or when someone you know is facing something hard, turn to God. Ask for His help. Invite others to pray with you, too. Remember, our God is powerful and He loves you deeply. You are never out of His reach. That's a prayer I have for my own heart, for my family, and for you today: that we would remember to pray, to trust, and to lean on the God who rescues and provides. May it be so.
