Brian From sits down with Betsy Wright, Senior Director of Angel Tree at Prison Fellowship, to explore how this Christ-centered program supports children with incarcerated parents during the Christmas season. Wright explains how Angel Tree strengthens family bonds, breaks cycles of trauma, and connects hurting families with local churches for ongoing care. Their conversation highlights the powerful work God is doing inside prisons and in communities beyond the bars—and how anyone can get involved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a rural town in south Georgia, sits “El Refugio,” a charming white home with green shutters. For 15 years, thousands have walked through its doors during the hardest moments of their lives. The house serves as a refuge for families of immigrants detained just two miles away at one of the largest immigration detention centers in the U.S.. In recent months, the visits to El Refugio have skyrocketed. We spent 48 hours inside El Refugio, the only hospitality house of its kind in the nation. We meet volunteers who visit with detainees and the families of those held at Stewart Detention Center.

Frosty Had How Many Families?

PLEASE DONATE HERE: https://www.gofundme.com/f/christmas-for-kids-2025   Christmas for Kids is a fundraiser created to provide children in need with Christmas gifts. Whether that's donating toys to children's hospitals and foster homes, or sponsoring struggling families.   Our goal is to raise $10,000 to spend as follows: Purchasing gifts to donate to children's hospitals and foster homes Sponsoring families in need   This campaign was started with the hope to bring back a little happiness to the difficult lives of these children. To put a smile on a child's face is one of the purest forms of joy and fulfillment I know. Every year, thousands of children spend Christmas without toys and family meals, some without warm homes and beds, some in a hospital! There are thousands of families that have fallen on hard times whose struggle seems to double during the holidays.   That's where we come in!   With the funds we raise, we will sponsor as many families as we can, with whatever they may need this holiday season. Whether that's food, clothing, toys and games, appliances, help with the bills…whatever we can do to make their holiday season a little brighter.   However, rather than spending money at big corporations that don't need it, we shop local. We spend the money at local "mom and pops" stores - small businesses that are family-owned. We find this works two-fold: We can buy gifts for children in need as well as support small businesses!   We are asking all of you to write us letters for someone you know that needs a little help during the holidays. We ask that you provide the name of the family, along with a description of their current situation and what we can do to help. If we select your family and you wish to remain anonymous, we will not disclose who sent us the letter. Our goal is to provide these families with gifts, food, a Christmas tree, or even just help with bills. Please send letters using the form on our website: Christmas for Kids Letters.   We greatly appreciate all your generosity and support. Please donate and share this page with friends and family. Let's spread the word, spread the love, and spread the spirit of Christmas to the kids!   You are amazing! Please stay safe this holiday season. Thank you and God Bless!

Send us a textWelcome back to the show! I'm so grateful you're here! And I'm so happy to have my voice back to normal after an icky cold that I may have rambled a bit more than usual – hahaha! But today, we're talking about something many families do without ever naming itn - recreational arguing. You know the dynamic: nothing is actually wrong, but yet somehow you're in a debate about tone, or not listening, or why someone “waited until now” to mention something. But underneath the surface-level conflict is something surprisingly human: connection attempts very ungracefully disguised as friction.I walk through why teens (and adults) use tension to create closeness, how patterns from childhood homes show up in present-day relationships, and why some people only feel seen when things are slightly dramatic. We talk about how conflict can become ritualized, how certain personalities need emotional activation before they can bond, and why disengaging can change the entire system.This isn't an episode about fixing anyone. It's about understanding the function behind the friction, and remembering that sometimes a raised voice isn't hostility – it's actually a clumsy, but familiar, way to reach for connection. And when you can see it clearly, you don't have to take the invitation to argue to still meet the need underneath it.Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.

The Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg may look like a charming pair of historic homes—but beneath the quiet exterior lies unrest. In this episode, we talk with manager Hannah Hilty about the property's two very different structures: the 1830s Welty House, which witnessed the full force of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Victorian home built decades later on the same property. The Welty House is still carrying the marks of musket fire on its walls. Families hid in its cellar as soldiers fought just outside, and the land behind it became a temporary resting place for more than 30 Confederate soldiers. Those layers of trauma and emotion seem to echo through the space even now. Inside both homes, unexplained activity continues to surface—bells that ring with no one near them, EVPs responding to questions, phantom footsteps, shifting furniture, and the unmistakable presence of figures tied to the property's past. Some spirits feel young, some sorrowful, and others seem to maintain a watchful authority over the place they once called home. At The Brickhouse Inn, it seems history isn't just remembered—it's more like it refuses to leave. This is Part Two of our conversation.

Cooperation is at the heart of being a Southern Baptist. And with over 46,000 churches across our country, state conventions are critical in mobilizing and supporting pastors and ministry leaders in each state. That's why at the ERLC, we seek to come alongside these state directors and the churches they serve. On today's episode, you'll hear from Thomas Hammond, executive director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, as he shares with ERLC Interim President Dr. Gary Hollingsworth about how Georgia Baptists are equipping churches to reach their families, friends, and coworkers with the gospel all across the state. Out of the 11.5 million people who live in Georgia, roughly 7 million don't have a relationship with Jesus. That's why, as Thomas says, Georgia Baptists see pastors as heroes, churches as the priority, and their state as the mission field.He'll also talk about the encouraging growth they're seeing across Georgia—from baptisms and church attendance to giving in local churches.Prior to becoming the executive director of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, Thomas served as lead pastor of Alpharetta First Baptist Church. He is a graduate of Augusta State University in Augusta, Georgia as well as Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, Tennessee. He is married to Kerri and they have two daughters. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for December 4th Publish Date: December 4th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 4th and Happy birthday to Jeff Bridges I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Lake Lanier Association Completes Phase Three of Shoreline Protection Program Hilscher wins another term in Suwanee City Council Police aim to deter youth gun violence in slain officer's memory Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on carrots All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring STORY 1: Lake Lanier Association Completes Phase Three of Shoreline Protection Program  Lake Lanier’s shoreline just got a little more secure—5,280 feet of it, to be exact. The Lake Lanier Association (LLA) announced the completion of the third phase of Project Armor, its ongoing effort to fight erosion caused by heavy boat traffic. This phase reinforced 16 badly eroded areas with rip rap, a method that helps absorb wave energy and protect the shoreline. Over the past 12 years, the LLA has armored 3 miles of shoreline, saving 28 islands and areas from disappearing into the lake. Why does it matter? These islands aren’t just pretty—they’re vital. They provide wildlife habitats, beaches, and safe spots for fishing and recreation. Without protection, some islands have already vanished, and erosion is making the lake shallower, threatening both recreation and the drinking water supply for over 5 million Georgians. This project, supported by partners like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local counties, is far from over. With 12 million visitors a year, Lake Lanier’s waves aren’t slowing down anytime soon. STORY 2: Hilscher wins another term in Suwanee City Council  Suwanee City Councilwoman Beth Hilscher is sticking around for another four years after edging out David Martinez in Tuesday’s runoff for the Post 4 seat. Unofficial results show Hilscher pulled in 734 votes to Martinez’s 638. Suwanee wasn’t the only Gwinnett city with a runoff—Duluth voters also hit the polls to decide the Post 3 City Council race between incumbent Lamar Doss and challenger Marlene Denise Tucker. In Suwanee, it’s Hilscher who’s celebrating. STORY 3: Police aim to deter youth gun violence in slain officer's memory   Gwinnett County police have rolled out a new program aimed at steering kids away from guns while honoring Officer Antwan Toney, who was tragically killed in the line of duty seven years ago. Called Toney’s Program, it launched in September and focuses on first-time or minor handgun offenses among juveniles. The program, named after Toney—who was shot by a teen in 2018—pairs participants with mentors for a seven-week curriculum and three months of follow-up support. Families are involved too, attending sessions alongside their kids. Teens hear from gun violence victims and learn conflict resolution, emotional awareness, and nonviolent decision-making. The first group graduated last month, with the next starting in January. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: 07.14.22 KIA MOG- DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Snellville man convicted of attacking former basketball teammates   A Snellville man, just 20 years old, is headed to prison for 25 years after a string of violent attacks on his former high school basketball teammates. Jet Horne, once a senior on South Gwinnett High’s 2022-23 team, was convicted last week on a laundry list of charges—aggravated assault, firearm possession, criminal damage, even hijacking a car. The incidents? Three separate attacks between December 2024 and May 2025. In December, Horne ambushed Talal Ansah, shooting him eight times as he returned home from work. Ansah barely survived. Then, in March, Horne fired into Timair Walker’s car, injuring a neighbor with a stray bullet. By May, he escalated—holding Maalik Leitch at gunpoint, stealing his BMW, and leading police on a chase. Ballistics tied it all together, sealing Horne’s fate. “This was a violent, senseless series of crimes,” said DA Patsy Austin-Gatson. “We’re grateful for justice and continue to pray for the victims.” STORY 5: BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Dacula Keeps Rolling with Lopsided Win Dacula cruised past Jackson County on Tuesday night, dominating with an 82-58 win in boys basketball. Case Presley was unstoppable, racking up 20 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. Josh Brown added 15 points, six boards, and four steals, while Dorian Douglas chipped in 15 points, five steals, and four assists. Kenny LaRue (nine points, six assists), Luke Anderson (nine points), and Caleb Golding (nine points, four rebounds) rounded out the Falcons’ balanced attack. Dacula now sits at 6-1 on the season. ATLANTA FALCONS: The Falcons, with six losses in their last seven games, will take on the Seahawks, who’ve won six of their last seven. Led by coach Mike Macdonald and quarterback Sam Darnold, the 9-3 Seahawks face the Falcons at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. U.S. MENS SOCCER: The U.S. Men’s National Team will face Belgium, Portugal, and Germany in a high-stakes pre-World Cup series. Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium hosts two matches: USA vs. Belgium on March 28 at 3:30 p.m. ET and USA vs. Portugal on March 31 at 7 p.m. ET. Both games will air on TNT, HBO Max, Telemundo, and Peacock. We’ll be right back.

From packing bulky gear to ensuring cleanliness and safety, parents often find themselves overwhelmed. BabyQuip, led by CEO and founder Fran Maier, provides a simple, effective solution. BabyQuip connects traveling families with local providers of baby gear, offering a trusted marketplace for renting everything from cribs to strollers.Fran shared how her experience as a mother and Airbnb host inspired BabyQuip. “I did not want to buy, store, clean, take care of baby gear for guests,” she explained. Her entrepreneurial instincts led her to harness the gig economy, creating opportunities for over 3,000 providers—mostly moms—who deliver, set up, and clean the rented gear. “We're a marketplace, like Turo or Airbnb. We really harness the energy and dedication of our providers,” she added.This innovative model addresses a significant need in the $3 trillion U.S. travel industry. Parents flying with children no longer need to lug heavy gear or worry about availability at their destination. Fran noted, “It's an acute need, because it's something you need at a specific time in a specific place.”The company's success is evident. BabyQuip now operates in 28 countries, recently partnered with Vrbo, and has earned a Good Housekeeping award for innovative travel solutions. This year, the company expects to fulfill over 120,000 orders and even achieved profitability in Q3.BabyQuip is poised for further growth, with plans to expand into mobility equipment and international markets. To fuel this expansion, Fran is raising capital on StartEngine via a regulated crowdfunding campaign. “I have a brand that customers love. Crowdfunding lets me invite them to be part of the journey,” she explained.By addressing a real pain point for families and leveraging the gig economy, BabyQuip is redefining the travel experience for parents everywhere.tl;dr:BabyQuip solves the hassle of traveling with baby gear by connecting families to local providers.The company operates in 28 countries and has fulfilled over 120,000 orders this year alone.BabyQuip recently partnered with Vrbo and won a Good Housekeeping award for travel innovation.Fran Maier is raising capital on StartEngine to fund expansion into mobility and international markets.Fran's superpower is her visionary instinct for building trusted brands that solve real problems.How to Develop Visionary Instinct As a SuperpowerFran's superpower is her ability to “see things and get it” instinctively. She described how her entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by her knack for identifying potential in ideas and turning them into trusted brands. As Fran explained, “I've been the one who came in and looked at [ideas] and said, ‘Oh, I can do something with this.'” Her marketing background and experience enable her to see how businesses can grow, make an impact, and solve real problems for people.Fran's visionary instinct was on full display when she co-founded Match.com in the mid-1990s. At the time, the internet was in its infancy, and many doubted its potential. Fran, however, immediately recognized its transformative possibilities. “When I first saw the internet, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is going to change everything,'” she recalled. She joined Match to build a trusted brand, foreseeing the massive societal shift toward online dating that would follow.Tips for Developing Visionary Instinct:Trust Your Gut: Pay attention to your instincts when evaluating new ideas or opportunities.Immerse Yourself in Trends: Stay informed about industry shifts and emerging technologies to spot opportunities early.Practice Pattern Recognition: Look for recurring themes or challenges in your field that you can address.Build on Experience: Leverage knowledge from past successes and failures to inform your decisions.Think Big: Envision not just the product but the larger impact and scale it can achieve.By following Fran's example and advice, you can make visionary instinct a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Join Dr. Shine on What's Your Shine? The Happy Podcast for a heartfelt solo conversation about the power of rituals and traditions in shaping our families, communities, and even ourselves.  Drawing on research, personal stories, and experiences from House of Shine, Claudia explores how rituals create patterns and pathways that help us hold on to what matters most. From simple daily practices like journaling and dinner table reflections to annual traditions like Sweet Cereal Day and the Yellow Plate Award, Claudia shows how consistency in small rituals can instill values, foster connection, and strengthen community. In a season when schedules are packed and families are stretched thin, Claudia reminds us that traditions don't have to be elaborate to be meaningful.

The Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg may look like a charming pair of historic homes—but beneath the quiet exterior lies unrest. In this episode, we talk with manager Hannah Hilty about the property's two very different structures: the 1830s Welty House, which witnessed the full force of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Victorian home built decades later on the same property. The Welty House is still carrying the marks of musket fire on its walls. Families hid in its cellar as soldiers fought just outside, and the land behind it became a temporary resting place for more than 30 Confederate soldiers. Those layers of trauma and emotion seem to echo through the space even now. Inside both homes, unexplained activity continues to surface—bells that ring with no one near them, EVPs responding to questions, phantom footsteps, shifting furniture, and the unmistakable presence of figures tied to the property's past. Some spirits feel young, some sorrowful, and others seem to maintain a watchful authority over the place they once called home. At The Brickhouse Inn, it seems history isn't just remembered—it's more like it refuses to leave.

Michael Martinez grew up in San Diego and started getting into trouble as a teenager before turning his life around and heading to Hawaii for college. His goal was to serve and protect — but his past made getting into law enforcement a challenge. While waiting to be accepted, he worked animal control in San Diego County before finally joining the San Diego Police Department. Within his first two years, Michael was involved in three officer-involved shootings, an experience that led to severe PTSD, alcoholism, and a complete personal breakdown. This episode dives deep into the reality behind the badge — the trauma, the toll, and the long road to redemption. Michael opens up about how he rebuilt his life, saved his family, and learned that asking for help isn't weakness — it's survival. #PoliceStory #TrueCrimePodcast #AddictionRecovery #FormerCop #PoliceShootings #MentalHealthAwareness #LawEnforcementLife #redemptionjourney Thank you to BLUECHEW, AURA FRAMES & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Get 10% off your first month of BlueChew Gold with code LOCKEDIN.

America just hit a breaking point — and President Trump knows it. We dig into his brand-new travel ban targeting 19 high-risk countries. The media will scream, the Left will meltdown, but the truth is simple: after the shocking shooting of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., Americans are done rolling the dice on who we let into this country. This attack has galvanized the nation. Families, cops, veterans — they’re all fed up. Trump’s new travel restrictions aren’t “controversial,” they’re common sense. And we lay out exactly why. https://GrantLovesGold.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesse sits down with Andy Hill—personal finance educator, podcast host, and creator of Marriage, Kids, and Money—for a candid conversation about building wealth while building a life you actually enjoy. Andy shares how a mix of financial discipline, intentional goal-setting, and family-centered values helped him and his wife pay off their mortgage by age 35 and achieve financial independence on their own terms. Together, they unpack why traditional FIRE goals often miss the human side of money, how to define "enough," and why generosity and purpose are essential parts of financial freedom. Andy also opens up about the shift from chasing net worth to focusing on net happiness, revealing the moment he realized money was no longer the main goal—but a tool for creating the life and impact he wanted most. Throughout, Jesse and Andy remind listeners that real wealth isn't about numbers—it's about freedom, joy, and using money to live aligned with what truly matters. Key Takeaways:• Financial freedom isn't just about money—it's about creating the life and relationships you truly want. • Family alignment around financial goals strengthens relationships and ensures everyone is moving in the same direction. • Andy's shift from "net worth" to "net happiness" redefined how he measures success and balance. • Andy emphasizes financial independence on your own terms, not a one-size-fits-all version of FIRE. • Clarity creates motivation—when your goals align with personal meaning, saving and investing feel purposeful. • Sustainability matters more than intensity—consistent, realistic habits lead to long-term financial wellness.

If helping aging parents plan their next chapter feels overwhelming, you're not alone. Hilary Walker, founder and CEO of Atlanta Seniors Real Estate, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss practical strategies for guiding older adults and their families through transitions into age-appropriate housing. Five Years Early, Not Five Minutes Too Late Walker emphasizes the importance of early planning. A crisis, such as a fall, hospitalization or cognitive decline, makes transitions significantly harder. She encourages older adults to proactively outline their wishes, designate key decision-makers and ensure vital documents, including powers of attorney, wills and beneficiary information, are in place. Families should also discuss expectations long before a move becomes imminent. Older adults are more likely to maintain control over their choices when these conversations happen early and gradually. Walker said, “It's better to gather your information five years early rather than be five minutes too late.” Recognizing When It's Time to Talk How do you know when it's time for a family meeting? Here are some common signs that indicate it may be time to start discussing a move: Frequent falls or near falls Difficulty using stairs or navigating the home Memory lapses or increasing forgetfulness Social isolation Limited use of large portions of the home Isolation, Walker notes, can significantly accelerate decline. Identifying concerns early allows families to access resources and create a thoughtful, measured plan rather than react under pressure. Emotional Roadblocks: Stuff, Sentiment & the Family Home Older adults often feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of belongings accumulated over decades. Instead of focusing on “how much,” families can take a step back to consider what “truly matters for the next season of life.” Touring potential new homes with aging parents can help them visualize what will realistically fit. Walker said, “The biggest roadblock is often the ‘stuff,’ and once we’re able to get around that mindset, you can keep what’s most important to you.” Emotional attachment is just as powerful. Whether it's the yard, garden beds, longtime neighbors or a home full of memories, older adults often struggle with the idea of letting go. Adult children can also unconsciously add pressure. Walker frequently advises children to accept items their parents offer—even if they don't plan to keep them—as it validates the parent's process of release and builds forward momentum. “In your mother or father's mind, they are just trying to start the process,” Walker said. “It's an emotional roadblock that you can help with by simply accepting it.” Moving Forward with Atlanta Seniors Real Estate The Atlanta Seniors Real Estate consultative approach begins with an in-home meeting and walk-through of the property. Walker uses this time to observe lifestyle patterns, understand the aging parent's goals and identify the actual decision-makers in the family. From there, a personalized action plan is created, covering everything from downsizing support to timelines, necessary resources and steps toward listing and selling the home. She partners with vetted, senior-focused service providers who handle the packing and moving logistics. While some transitions take as little as three months, others may unfold over a year or longer. Patience and ongoing communication are often the keys to success. Tune into the full episode to learn more tips for moving older loved ones into age-appropriate housing.

A group of Texas families filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday to stop all Texas school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms. The new state law requiring the classroom displays has faced multiple legal challenges, with two federal judges finding it unconstitutional and blocking 25 school districts across the state from implementing it. In other news, Austin authorities said Tuesday that an ongoing investigation into the weekend falling death of Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera continues to suggest the 19-year-old did not die by homicide, but also cautioned they have not reached any conclusions; attorneys for a North Texas woman who was shown in a video screaming through contractions while hospital staff appeared to slow-roll her admission are requesting a meeting with the facility to discuss what happened and the possibility of financial compensation; a Dallas Morning News analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau found more North Texas adults with college degrees live in poverty today compared to a decade ago. That mirrors a trend across major metropolitan areas in the state and country. Since 2014, the number of North Texans with college degrees has increased by more than 50%; nd on a new list of the 50 best steakhouses in North America, two Dallas restaurants were recognized. The list, compiled by Robb Report, ranked Al Biernat's at 43rd and Nuri Steakhouse at 39th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A government-built city rose out of the Columbia River Basin with rules no one could explain and a purpose no one fully understood. Families lived in identical houses, signed confidentiality papers they barely read, and trusted that whatever was happening behind the restricted fences was “for the good of the country.” What really happened out there shaped world history, rewrote entire landscapes in the Pacific Northwest.

Childcare costs are soaring, and for many Utah families, the numbers are staggering. Smart Asset's latest analysis reveals that a household needs to earn at least $82,410 annually for one parent to stay home with a young child. Greg and Holly discuss the costs and what this means for families trying to balance work, finances, and parenting. The hosts also discuss a new development for the "Trump Account,s" where all children born between 2025 and 2028 will automatically receive a $1,000 deposit from the Department of the Treasury.

The family behind Dell Computers has pledged over $6 billion to help millions of American children open investment accounts. This initiative pairs with the White House’s new “Trump Accounts” program, which guarantees a $1,000 deposit for every child born between 2025 and 2028. Families can start opening accounts in early 2026, with contributions allowed beginning July 4. Greg and Holly discuss with Utah Congressman Blake Moore, who joined President Trump for the official announcement.
