Thilla shares her journey as a first-generation Canadian, shaped by her Sri Lankan heritage and North American upbringing. Raised in a family where discussions about sex were taboo and dating was reserved for an arranged marriage, she faced immense pressure and conflicting messages from both cultures. These challenges left her grappling with feelings of shame and guilt surrounding anything sexual. The pressure intensified after marriage, with cultural expectations focused on starting a family. Struggling with fertility issues, Thilla's desire for sex waned, prompting her to find Janna and the Wanting It More program. Through this journey, she learned to untangle the complex narratives surrounding sex from both cultures, recognizing their negative impact on her sexual desires. WIM provided Thilla with invaluable insights, enabling her to reshape her approach to sex. By delving into specific details, she reflects on her transformative journey and how she now embraces a healthier perspective on sexuality, liberated from the weight of cultural expectations.Join the Waitlist for the June/July 2024 round of Wanting It More.

Join Dr. Patty Jimenez as she shares the joys of being raised with Franciscan values, translates theological terms and teachings into everyday language, and the creates spaces of belonging for young Latina woman raised in the United States. For a video version of this episode, see: https://youtu.be/etFD7Z-4Vsw From Patty Jimenez' interview: “When I returned to school I am reading Bonaventure, Scotus, and Francis and Clare's writings, I'm going, some of this stuff is pretty lofty. But when I broke it down to the essentials of hospitality, of care for creation, this is what my family lived every day, especially the women in my family; it was really powerful to see that written theologically, to see that expressed and be like, oh yeah, this is us.” Regarding moving between cultures: “I think first is to not make assumptions. It's really important to ask a lot of questions. Oftentimes people just kind of jump in based on what is on the surface level, but they don't really know what's behind it. … I've seen that happen over and over again in so many situations, making assumptions about other people without taking consideration about what we are doing or not doing that is causing what's happening.” “When you deal with a lot of cross-cultural issues, oftentimes just feeling heard causes a shift. That's sometimes all people need, is to be heard.” “We all belong. If we've ever felt that we didn't, it's usually because we haven't been adequately provided for or cared for. That has resonated for me as a Latina that's been raised here in the United States. And so I take a huge responsibility now of how do I create belonging for US born and raised Latinas. At times we have to, if we feel like, ‘hey, I don't belong', maybe it's the Spirit that's moving us to create spaces of belonging for others.” Vernacular theologian: “How do you translate really lofty theological terms or teachings into everyday terms so that anyone can understand it? And so for me it's translated in what we Latina theologians or pastor ministers speak of la vida cotidiana, our everyday life. And so how do we integrate it and speak in a language that is accessible to most people nowadays?” For a full transcript, please include episode number and email: fslfpodcast@fslf.org.

Every kid needs to have their own version of formative experiences. But the question is, which ones? What are the essential experiences every kid needs? Here's a starting point: Failure: every kid ought to have failed as they grow up so they can understand their own limits, how to process guilt or shame or humiliation, and find a deeper resolve to keep persisting. I wrote about failure in other places, too, in case you want to do a deeper dive (here and here). Success: every kid needs to experience success at an adult level. Everyone yearns to add value. It's a core longing we all share. Every kid wants to know that what they do (and are capable of doing) has real value to another human. For further thinking, here's an episode where we dive in. Adventure: similar to my experiences studying abroad, every kid needs adventure in their life. Adventure makes us come alive, feel free, experience joy, and have stories to tell. Some kids will create adventures for themselves, whether you like it or not, but many will need our support and encouragement to blaze their own trail and discover what brings them joy. Independence: ultimately, childhood is preparation for adulthood, marked by taking responsibility for yourself. That's why it's so important that kids get the training they need to manage their own affairs and learn about self-sufficiency. As parents and educators, we need to curate experiences for kids that put them in situations where they are making choices for themselves. Crossing Cultures: some kids are born and raised in a diverse environment, but many kids are born and raised in a relatively homogenous context. Regardless, every kid needs to have experiences in other cultures to gain perspective, appreciation, and empathy. Being displaced in another culture can be uncomfortable and stressful, but it can also be a tremendous growth opportunity if done with an open mind and a safe place to debrief, ask questions, and learn. Service: most want their kids to become kindhearted, servant-oriented adults. But how will they, unless they learn those lessons by experience over time? Every kid needs to be deliberately led (okay, forced) to serve others many times throughout their growing-up years for them to make service a regular part of their lives. Work: over the past two decades, we've seen a significant decline in the number of kids with jobs. Some don't work because they're overworked at school if they're on the university track. Some don't work because of their athletic obligations. Others don't work because they don't have transportation (more and more kids delay getting their driver's licenses). But all kids will work when they become adults. How will that go if their first jobs are after they graduate from college? What do you think? What formative experiences have you had that shaped your life for the better? What am I missing from my list above?

Middle grade is a time when readers can be especially moved by the books they pick up. Books can center kids marginalized by conflict, can inspire other readers to decenter themselves, to listen better, and to be more intentional with welcome signs. In one sense, borders are fiction, lines made up by winners of wars. In another sense, borders have a potent impact on the lives of the people who cross them, often as a result of those wars. but the truth of crossing borders is in the smallest details of people's lives and in the white space between those details. In this episode, three authors reveal the experiential journey of their child characters who cross borders and merge cultures in their books. Thanhhà Lai, Rajani LaRocca, and Jasmine Warga share their personal journeys of arriving in a new land, learning English, making friends, and what inspired them to find their character's voice in poetry.

In this season of Crossing Cultures, we tell our story of how God taught a Local Church what it means to have a Global Heart. This is not the story of good guys versus bad guys or people helping those in need- it's the story of ALL people needing Jesus in different seasons of their lives. Our Ukrainian friends needed help getting into America and on to the next phase of their lives- we needed them to remind us of the global heart of God. More episodes in the season are coming soon.

How many times can Keren bring up food in one episode? In a follow up conversation to Episode 10: "Still Feels Like Home w/ Jahaziel Hiriart" your hosts Page and Keren were inspired by Jazi's story of gaining a deeper appreciation for her Mexican heritage while holding gratitude for the life she's built in America. In this episode, we go in-depth into our own backgrounds and experiences growing up in between cultures. We talk about how openness to other cultures will require some courage to step out of your comfort zone - but it will enrich your experiences and expand your perspectives. As long as you pursue an authentic expression and prioritize human connection, respect, and open-mindedness, there is so much we can learn from one another. Whether it's through cuisine, music, dance, art, holidays, or rituals, there are a myriad of ways we can experience and embrace cultures different than our own. There's something beautiful about making a human connection with someone who has a vastly different cultural upbringing or background, to find that our similarities can create a bridge of understanding. Join us for this thoughtful conversation and let us know your thoughts on our socials - look us up: @powerstancepodcast!

Phil and his family have spent meant years overseas as missionaries and in that time he has learned all about how to communicate and relate to those who see the world differently. The first season of Phil's show is all about racial relations, and so Aaron and Phil discuss the problem of racial blindspots, the need for openness to different points of view, the necessity of reconciliation and forgiveness, and the debate around the "hot button" issue of the phrase "white privilege."
