She would have been the first socialist mayor of a large city since Frank Zeidler left office as mayor of Milwaukee in 1960. But she never became mayor. Brown sued to get on the ballot, failed, but then launched a successful write in campaign. Though she was backed by WFP and had secured endorsements from Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and AOC, Governor Hochul declined to endorse Walton, Echoing the current Zohran Mamdani moment. Now, Walton returns to Bad Faith to give her unique perspective on what it's like to win a Democratic Party primary, only to be beaten by the Democratic Party establishment, to offer advice to Zohran Mamdani, who once campaigned for Walton in Buffalo, and to unpack her feelings on the viability of using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for real change.

God at Work: The Practice of Mercy in an Unstable World – Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard Summary: In this third installment of the God at Work series, Pastor Donnell Wyche explores what God desires from us amid the uncertainty and instability of the world. Drawing from Hosea 6:6—“For I desire mercy, not sacrifice”—Pastor Donnell reframes our assumptions about pleasing God. Rather than asking for performance, ritual, or religious effort, God calls us to embody mercy. This mercy is not just a feeling, but a relational, transformative force that reorients us toward God and each other, even in the face of evil and injustice. Pastor Donnell emphasizes that, in Scripture, God doesn't provide neat answers to the problem of evil, but instead offers witness and invitation—inviting us to respond mercifully in a broken world. Pastor Donnell illustrates that mercy isn't abstract or reserved for grand gestures—it starts in everyday relationships and small, personal decisions. Whether it's in how we speak to our family members, interact with neighbors, or respond to strangers, mercy is a discipline of love. He offers compelling personal examples, including his role in organizing a local “Warrant Resolution Day” to help people clear court debts and restore freedom. Through this story, he shows how mercy can take tangible form in systems and communities, not just individual interactions. In contrast to transactional religion, Pastor Donnell invites the congregation to participate in a faith rooted in God's character—one that prioritizes compassion over control. Closing the sermon, Pastor Donnell brings it home with a challenge: where are you being invited to practice mercy? Whether in a crowded Costco checkout line or a tense neighborhood meeting, each situation is a chance to choose relationship over reaction. Echoing the prophets and Jesus himself, Pastor Donnell reminds us that faithful worship without mercy is hollow. The way forward is not through louder prayers or deeper sacrifices, but through the often quiet, often inconvenient practice of loving mercy—especially when it's hardest to do.
Storm Technology, a Littlefish company, has announced the findings of a survey which shows that 69% of IT leaders say a failure to successfully implement AI is costing their company money. The research for Storm Technology involved 200 IT decision-makers and leaders across Ireland and the UK (100 respondents per market) - also found that a similar proportion (71%) think their organisation will lose market share or competitive advantage within the next 3 years if they do not invest effectively in AI. Echoing this, 82% agree their company needs to invest in updating technologies and tools to be competitive. Furthermore, two thirds (66%) of respondents agree their organisation is taking too long to leverage the potential of AI. This rose to more than three quarters (77%) of respondents in Ireland. Meanwhile, some 63% of IT leaders say their company has become disillusioned by AI. Again, a higher proportion of respondents from Ireland (70%) expressed this view, with 77% of the opinion that their organisation should spend more on AI in 2025. In terms of the anticipated investment in AI for 2025 among businesses in Ireland, that came in at approximately €491,250 on average - marking a 42% increase from the estimated AI spend for 2024. Among all respondents, AI (35%) is one of the top five priority areas for IT spend over the next year. The others are cybersecurity (37%), cloud infrastructure (30%), data analytics (25%), and technology training (26%). Where businesses are currently leveraging AI, 36% are deploying it in Operations, followed closely by Marketing (35%), and then Finance (31%). The survey also revealed the main benefits of AI usage as driving business growth (29%), enhanced customer service (28%), and improved data analysis, reporting or insights (28%). However, just a fifth (20%) of respondents in Ireland cited business growth as a main benefit of AI, compared to 38% of UK counterparts. As for actual results being driven by AI among all respondents, faster data analytics came to the fore (35%), followed by rising productivity levels (25%). Shorter customer response times (24%), increased profitability (24%) and automated processes (23%) finished off the top five. Karl Flannery, CEO, Storm Technology, said: "While most companies believe that investing in AI is critical to growth, many are not clear where the most benefits can be derived. Additionally, they believe their company is taking too long to invest and have become disillusioned with AI. "Failing to embrace AI and get leadership buy-in will only exacerbate this issue, impacting future innovation and competitiveness. There is no alternative, but to just get started and build that organisational understanding across all levels of this fast-developing capability to unlock new levels of growth and efficiency."

In this episode of Comic Stripped, Mark Radulich and Evan Bevins dive into Here, discussing how Richard McGuire's formal experiment reshaped the boundaries of graphic storytelling and how Zemeckis' adaptation attempts to interpret that same vision through cinema. The hosts explore whether the emotional arc added in the film enhances or detracts from the original's minimalist power. They also debate the challenges of adapting abstract art into narrative film, and where Here sits in the pantheon of both graphic novels and cinematic experimentation."Here" is a 6-page comic story by Richard McGuire published in 1989, and expanded into a 304-page graphic novel in 2014. The concept of "Here" (in both versions) is to show the same location in space at different points in time, ranging from the primordial past to thousands of years in the future. "Here" has been recognized as a groundbreaking experiment with the formal properties of comics.Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: using a locked-down or "static shot" technique, the story covers a single plot of land and its inhabitants, from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into panes, presenting events from different times simultaneously. The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging via generative artificial intelligence being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over time.Here premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2024, before being theatrically released in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 1, 2024.[10] The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $15.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 For the purposes of engaging with tiktok and youtube viewers, what is the best 10min or more segment from this podcast?

Miguel Angel Angeles, executive director of Bethel Radio & TV, shares the history of a ministry that started with one Christian asking a radio station to play audio cassettes of his sermons on the air. As the radio ministry encouraged and built up the church, it expanded into Venezuela, Colombia, and other areas. Today, Bethel is a network of hundreds of radio and television stations, based in Peru and reaching Spanish speakers all over Latin America and the world. Miguel will share about his own start serving in IT with Bethel TV, and how he came to understand the importance of bringing awareness of the persecuted body of Christ through Bethel programming. “My first time listening about the persecuted church was when Petr Jasek came to a conference in Peru to share his testimony,” Miguel said, “and it created a hunger for me to learn more.” After hearing speak at a conference about his own arrest in Sudan, Miguel's church began to meet every Monday to pray for the persecuted church and to learn more about fellow believers facing Christian persecution. Week after week, God prepared Miguel's heart as it was continuously stretched by the stories of bold faith in the face of hostility and persecution. After reading Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs, Miguel knew he needed to share about persecuted Christians with the broader church in Latin America and with his radio audience. Listen as Miguel shares the heart of his church for missions. Churches dedicate one Sunday a month to focus on missions and missionaries. You and your church will be encouraged to make missions and praying for persecuted Christians a regular part of your worship gatherings as well. Pray this week for Miguel, his family, and Bethel Radio & TV as they continue serving the Lord and sharing the voice of persecuted Christians with Spanish-speaking people around the world.

Keir Starmer has promised to take a tougher stance on immigration — but there are fears the government's new ban on the recruitment of foreign care workers could deepen Britain's care crisis, with providers warning it could lead to care home closures due to significant staffing issues.Since 1997, there have been 25 official reviews into the UK's broken care system, yet little meaningful change. We're joined by someone who has brought the issue to the political forefront: Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey. His moving personal story of caring for his disabled son, John, struck a chord across party lines — and in his new book - Why I Care: And why care matters - he's calling for urgent reform.He also explains why he disagrees with the Prime Minister's use of language announcing those immigration reforms, why he's confident that he can match Nigel Farage's appeal to former Tory voters, and why Donald Trump's position on the Ukraine/Russia conflict amounts to little more than appeasement of Vladimir Putin.Plus, it's our first podcast birthday!

Ep.242 Shaunté Gates (b. 1979) lives and works in Washington, D.C. He studied at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Bowie State University. Early in his career, Gates trained in oil painting and portraiture. His past experience as a tattoo artist and television motion graphics editor caused a profound shift in his artistic practice. His recent work employs a multidisciplinary approach, layering photography, painting, and found text to create dreamlike landscapes that explore labyrinthine social constructs and the physical sites that house and perpetuate them. Echoing the aesthetics of paper theater, his compositions unfold like intricate stage sets, where layered imagery and shifting perspectives evoke a sense of constructed reality and theatrical illusion. Gates was a participating artist in the Smithsonian Institution's “Men of Change” four-year traveling exhibition spanning ten museums, including the International African American Museum in Charleston, SC, California African American Museum, Cincinnati Underground Railroad Museum and Washington State History Museum (2019-23). He has been awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Grant (2022) and residencies with The Nicholson Project (2023), The Kennedy Center (2019) and Washington Project for the Arts (2018; 2017). Gates has work in esteemed private collections and institutions such as the Studio Museum in Harlem and Munson, Utica, NY. He has completed many public art commissions including Transcending, a painting commemorating the 140th anniversary of Howard University School of Law.

It's March 21st, 2025, and we're diving deep into powerful passages from the book of Joshua and 1 Corinthians. I'm Hunter, your brother, and your Bible reading coach, here to guide us on this journey through the Word. Today, we venture through Joshua chapters 9 to 11, witnessing the cunning of the Gibeonites and Joshua's epic battles, showcasing faith interwoven with shrewdness and cunning. We then turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, where we are prompted to consider how our faith shapes our interactions within the community. Echoing through these narratives is the call to a faith that is not just wise but rooted deeply in God. Let's allow these scriptures to challenge and encourage us as they point us to the living Word, Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these timeless truths together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Now the Gibeonites were wise, and you might say that their wisdom was rooted in a kind of faith. The same kind of faith Rahab had. Both had confidence that God was going to give the land to Israel. They both responded in fear before God's people, and both acted with wisdom and cunning in order that their people might be saved. In the end, the Gibeonites would be saved by their faith just as Rahab had been saved by her faith. It's their faith in God, the God of Israel, that causes them to make peace with the God of Israel even when their shrewdness was deceitful. They didn't trust in their power, their might, their alliances. No. They sought to make peace with God. There is a shrewdness in these Gibeonites. Their deception leads to their deliverance. They, like Rahab, saw that the God of Israel was a God of deliverance; they recognized that this God delivered the Hebrew people out of Egypt and was giving them this land. And so they were shrewd. They were deceitful. And in their shrewd deceit, they found deliverance. Sometimes faith looks a lot like shrewdness. Jesus tells a parable of the shrewd manager who makes friends with all of his master's debtors in order that he might be delivered from his own financial ruin. He gave away what was not his in order that he might have life. And in a similar way, the people of Gideon gave away something in order that they might have life. They were shrewd, And Jesus commends this kind of shrewdness, the willingness to let go, to give away, to not hold on and insist on my own way. This is the way of faith, and sometimes it looks cunning and shrewd, and sometimes it finds its way into very practical situations in life, like the conflict between sisters and brothers in Christ. Sometimes there must be a shrewdness, a willingness to let go, to give something away in order for there to be peace. This is in part what Paul's trying to show us in our Corinthian reading today. The Corinthians, the Gibeonites, you and I are called to live by faith. A faith that is shrewd, A faith that invests itself primarily in our relationships with God, his people, and this world. And often, we need to give something away to let go of our own way in order that we might have life. May God give us faith that is shrewd, that is cunning, wise, and obedient. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Would you identify an AI song if you pressed play on one? Colm Cahalane and Niall explore what's happening in AI and music now, with an example drawn from the Irish music scene in recent months. Echoing the early Wild Wild West streaming era that we discussed last week with Liz Pelly that gave rise to Spotify's dominance, our chat this week with Colm Cahalane of Irish music Substack blog Fourth Best / Cork label Hausu finds parallels with what's happening with AI and music right now. AI is breaking new ground, and creating new problems and moral issues in doing so. Colm recently posted a ruminating article on AI on Fourth Best, which talks to an artist called Kawaii Hoe who inadvertently, and relatively innocently duped me into covering their energetic AI-generated hyperpop music on the site - Like I said it's the Wild Wild West. We talk about this scary new world of not knowing whether an artist is making music entirely with AI or not, and the implications and creative quandary of generated art. Because you can now make a full music project with AI, does that mean you should? Are AI musicians just really gifted at prompts? Are the outputs music? As AI music flooded streaming platforms, social media and we cannot put the genie back in the bottle, what's next? As Liz Pelly's book shows, Spotify will do what it can to reduce royalty rates so what's to stop it from replacing real artist's music with AI-generated music? Isn't this already happening whether they allow it or not? * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community Listen on Apple | Android | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Pod.Link
Whether you're the one being left or the one doing the leaving, a breakup always presents certain challenges. It's pretty common to try to learn from the relationship that's ended, in order to move forwards in a positive way. And those takeaways can help us gain perspective and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. But when that kind of rumination becomes excessive and persists with time, it can become problematic. In late 2024, American psychologist Marie Land came up with the term “love echoing” to describe those kinds of thoughts. Where does the “echo” part of the term come from? What are the possible consequences of love echoing then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Balancing faith and life's responsibilities can feel overwhelming, leaving many feeling like we are self-imposing burdens that only weigh us down. Our latest podcast episode challenges this mindset, guiding listeners to a more profound understanding of what it means to prioritize God, family, and spiritual engagement in our busy lives. We start by addressing the silent struggles we battle every day—how often do we feel like martyrs for our circumstances? While reflecting on our own experiences, we underscore how easy it is to forget the nourishing practices of prayer and reading scripture amid life's chaos. The guiding narrative we explore extends into the timeless truths found within Proverbs 31. Often cited in discussions about women's roles, we unpack the true essence of this chapter, illuminating how it emphasizes the importance of focusing on family over societal pressures to balance multiple roles. In a broader context, we delve into historical perspectives on the vital connection between faith and the foundations of American society. Echoing the observations of Alexis de Tocqueville, we highlight how morality and religious sentiment are intrinsically linked to the country's prosperity and character. Together, we seek to answer pressing questions about our responsibilities and choices. Are we allowing distractions to undermine our spiritual commitment? Are we focusing on what truly matters? This episode aims to inspire a deeper engagement with our faith and to encourage a return to foundational principles that not only shape our lives but also foster a healthier society.Join us as we reflect on how we can actively make space for God in our busy lives.

In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. reflects on the “Appeals for Hope” section of the Bull of Indiction for the Jubilee Year by Pope Francis.16. Echoing the age-old message of the prophets, the Jubilee reminds us that the goods of the earth are not destined for a privileged few, but for everyone. The rich must be generous and not avert their eyes from the faces of their brothers and sisters in need. Here I think especially of those who lack water and food: hunger is a scandal, an open wound on the body of our humanity, and it summons all of us to a serious examination of conscience. I renew my appeal that “with the money spent on weapons and other military expenditures, let us establish a global fund that can finally put an end to hunger and favour development in the most impoverished countries, so that their citizens will not resort to violent or illusory situations, or have to leave their countries in order to seek a more dignified life”. [8]Another heartfelt appeal that I would make in light of the coming Jubilee is directed to the more affluent nations. I ask that they acknowledge the gravity of so many of their past decisions and determine to forgive the debts of countries that will never be able to repay them. More than a question of generosity, this is a matter of justice. It is made all the more serious today by a new form of injustice which we increasingly recognize, namely, that “a true ‘ecological debt' exists, particularly between the global North and South, connected to commercial imbalances with effects on the environment and the disproportionate use of natural resources by certain countries over long periods of time”. [9] As sacred Scripture teaches, the earth is the Lord's and all of us dwell in it as “aliens and tenants” ( Lev 25:23). If we really wish to prepare a path to peace in our world, let us commit ourselves to remedying the remote causes of injustice, settling unjust and unpayable debts, and feeding the hungry. (taken from Spes non confundit – Bull of Indiction).In the Catholic Church, the concept of Jubilee or ‘Holy Year' was used to declare special years for forgiveness and reconciliation. The first Jubilee was declared by Pope Boniface VIII on 22nd February 1300 (Feast of the Chair of St. Peter), to mark the beginning of that century. He later recommended it occurring every 100 yearsNotes:Read the Bull of Indiction hereOn Mission: PilgrimagesOn Mission: ShrinesYear of Prayer 2024 Resources Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

This part 3 of our 3-part series is such an inspiring conversation of how Dan uses his prophetic gifts: painting, art, music and just loving on people. As an artist and a minstrel, he shifts atmospheres. He shifts the way the whole city of Raleigh, North Carolina functions because of taking authority in the spirit realm. We set a lot of the stage in parts 1 and 2, so if you guys missed those, definitely go back to spiritcenteredbusiness.com, or wherever you enjoy the podcast and pick those up.“Painting…doing these HUGE paintings which are light frequencies, and then playing music—sound frequencies, were the tools that God put in my hands.”Be sure to WATCH TO THE END for a virtual walk-through of one of Dan's jaw-dropping paint and sculpture installations!HIGHLIGHTS:Art & Anointing: The Power of Creative Authority“The painting has one kind of authority in the spirit, one kind of anointing. The music has another kind of anointing.”Art isn't just visual—it carries spiritual weight. Whether on canvas or in melody, creativity releases divine power in unique ways.“Because when I go and play, demons literally flee. And angels literally come.”Every Instrument is a Spiritual Weapon“Every instrument is a different weapon for a different purpose.”Music isn't just sound; it's strategy. In worship and warfare, different instruments release distinct frequencies that shift atmospheres. Sound carries spiritual authority. When anointed artists play, they don't just entertain—they break down structures of darkness and release divine encounters, building the Kingdom of Light.Mastery Takes Commitment“Oh, he's just talented. Well, yeah… but I practice every day, and I'm 70 years old. I've practiced every day for 60 years.”Anointing + discipline = unstoppable! Creativity isn't just inspiration—it's dedication. Stewarding your gift over time is what unlocks mastery.The Prophetic Power of Surprise in Art“It's that surprise and delight of texture, color… that makes it prophetic and gives it authority in the spirit realm.”Art isn't just about replicating reality—it's about revealing the unseen. The unexpected elements in a painting carry prophetic weight, shifting atmospheres and releasing spiritual authority.Painting as a Divine Lens“My job is to paint how God saw this town… And I don't know about you, but my God is happy.”Art isn't just self-expression; it's a way of partnering with God to bring His perspective into the world. When artists paint with heaven's vision, they infuse joy, hope, and Yahweh's divine perspective into the atmosphere.We're Called to Hold the City's Steering Wheel“Every city has a steering wheel… Get out of the trunk, or the backseat, and get in the driver's seat.”Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs, artists, and visionaries are meant to shape culture, not just observe it. The real influence happens in strategic locations—those spiritual hotspots where decisions are made, and atmospheres can be transformed.Spiritual Authority Comes Through ActionTransforming cities isn't just about talking—it's about taking bold, prophetic action. Whether through prayer walks, declarations, or artistic expressions, small acts of faith can create lasting impact. Creativity and faith collide to bring real transformation. If you're in the marketplace or the arts, this is your sign to step up, create boldly, and shift culture for God's Kingdom!Where You Stand Matters – Geographic Authority“Wherever you put the soles of your feet… there's something to that.”Echoing biblical principles, this highlights the power of physical presence in spiritual warfare. Pastors, worship leaders, business owners, and influencers are encouraged to take their authority beyond the pulpit and into the streets where transformation happens.Excellence in Art Belongs in the Kingdom“I've basically made a career out of not working for churches… and yet the biggest job I've ever done ended up being for a church.”The irony? God led him back to the very place he avoided, but with a twist—this time, they honored and compensated his work. His 26,000-square-foot art installation for a children's ministry proves that the church can be a place for high-level artistry when visionaries value and invest in it.>>>BE SURE TO WATCH to the end to see a walk-through of this astounding creation!!LINKS for DAN:- Dan's Website: https://dannelsonart.com/- YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/@dantheartman- Literally the World's Best Wedding Painter: http://Weddingpainter.com LINKS for BRALYNN:- Coaching for Business and for Healing: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.com- Get Bralynn's Book!

Psalm 135 publishes a command to worship Yahweh and chronicles occasions for worship from nature, history, and covenant. Echoing themes from Ps 134, Ps 135 opens reprising a call to worship extending firstly to those with priestly duties commissioned to serve the Lord in His house (temple). The song continues by recounting & extolling works of the Lord and condemning the foolishness of idolatry. Finally Psalm 135 closes with another call to worship chorus this time broadcasting across the world that all the people of God might join him in song. Note: portions of this song might sound familiar. Verses 15-21 are a nearly word-for-word parallel with Ps 115:4-13 reminding us that the church has gathered together to repeat songs of worship for millennia from the days of leather scrolls to our own assembly here today.
Send us a textCan boys thrive in a world that seems to be losing touch with the essence of manhood? Join Pastor Ocholi, a revered marriage counselor, and Coach Ebuka, a dedicated advocate for boys' development, as they tackle this provocative question. We embark on a rich dialogue about the modern-day challenges facing boys and men, touching on societal pressures and stereotypes that often stifle identity and growth. This episode seeks to shine a light on the often-overlooked struggles of boys and proposes actionable pathways to nurture them into balanced, empowered men.We also dive into the critical role the church can play in this narrative. As faith leaders, our guests discuss how the church can move beyond traditional boundaries to offer support and guidance, fostering open conversations and accountability. We address the pressing need for strategic actions that reinforce the significance of men in the family dynamic, likening their role to that of a train engine—leading, guiding, and supporting. The conversation calls for introspection and a shift in how religious communities engage with these vital issues.Collaboration emerges as a central theme in our quest to raise the next generation. Echoing the timeless wisdom of the African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," we examine the power of collective effort involving parents, teachers, communities, and religious organizations. By challenging outdated beliefs about discipline and fostering understanding of boys' emotional needs, we pave the way for a nurturing environment. This episode serves as a clarion call for humility and partnership, urging us all to be catalysts for positive change and to recognize the invaluable role of genuine role models in boys' lives.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
