Three hunters head deep into the rugged wilderness of Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula for a 10-day trip, but fail to return home. A search turns up their abandoned truck, followed by something far more disturbing.As investigators try to piece together what happened, attention turns to a local man named Wilbert Coffin, one of the last people known to have crossed paths with the missing men. This case would go on to trigger years of controversy with questions about police tunnel vision, political interference and the nature of justice itself.More information:Listen to The Coffin Affair: A Miscarriage of Justice Revisited by Kathryn M.

What will you leave to the next generation—and will they be prepared to steward it well?A faithful wealth transfer involves more than deciding who gets what. It means thinking carefully about the people who will receive those resources and whether they have the wisdom, maturity, and spiritual foundation to handle them faithfully.Dr. Kelly Rush, Professor of Finance, Financial Planning Program Coordinator, and Chair of Business and Technology at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, points to David and Solomon as a compelling biblical example. Rush, who also serves on the board of Kingdom Advisors, says David did more than accumulate resources for his son. He prepared Solomon for both great wealth and great responsibility.David knew Solomon would eventually build the temple in Jerusalem. So before transferring tremendous resources, David helped prepare his son for the work ahead.His example offers families four important principles for thinking about wealth transfer today.1. Pursue Unity Before Making a PlanThe first principle is unity: husbands and wives should agree on their plans for transferring wealth.We see this in 1 Kings 1. As David neared the end of his life, his son Adonijah attempted to establish himself as king. Bathsheba approached David and reminded him of the commitment concerning Solomon. David acted, and Solomon was publicly established as his successor.For families today, the circumstances are obviously very different, but the underlying principle remains valuable. Parents should work toward a shared vision for what they hope their wealth will accomplish and how it will eventually be distributed.That unity can clarify the plan for the entire family. Children and other heirs are less likely to receive conflicting messages when parents have already worked through difficult questions together.Before asking, “How much should we leave?” couples may need to begin with a more fundamental question: “Are we united about what we hope this wealth will accomplish?”2. Transfer Wisdom Before WealthAssets will eventually change hands. The larger question is whether wisdom will accompany them.David understood that Solomon needed more than resources. He needed spiritual and practical preparation.David prayed that God would give Solomon wisdom and understanding, and he personally instructed his son to know the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly. He also gave Solomon detailed plans for the temple and prepared him for the responsibilities he would inherit.In other words, David did not simply leave Solomon a fortune and expect him to figure things out.Parents today have a similar opportunity. Children and grandchildren can be taught biblical principles of stewardship alongside practical financial skills such as budgeting, saving, giving, investing, and making wise decisions.The goal is not merely to prepare assets for heirs. It is to prepare heirs for assets.That preparation may begin long before an inheritance is in view. Younger children can learn to manage small amounts of money and decide how to give. Teenagers can take on greater financial responsibilities. Adult children can increasingly participate in conversations about family resources, generosity, and long-term plans.Wealth without wisdom can create significant challenges. But when wisdom comes first, financial resources can become another tool the next generation is prepared to steward faithfully.3. Consider Readiness, Not Just AgeDavid recognized something important about Solomon: he was “young and inexperienced” (1 Chronicles 22:5).So David prepared him gradually. He imparted wisdom. He supplied practical plans and instructions. Eventually, Solomon received the resources he needed.Families today can also think carefully about both the timing and amount of wealth they transfer.No universal age marks when someone suddenly becomes ready for significant financial responsibility. Parents should consider an heir's spiritual, emotional, and financial maturity rather than relying on age alone.Where gaps exist, they can become opportunities for further preparation.That may mean gradually increasing responsibility over time. In some situations, families may use joint accounts while younger heirs learn to manage money. For larger inheritances, trusts or trustee oversight may provide both protection and an opportunity for continued growth in stewardship.Communication is also essential. Heirs should not necessarily be surprised by a family's wealth-transfer plan after a parent dies. Appropriate conversations ahead of time can allow children to understand their parents' intentions, ask questions, seek wisdom, and prepare for future responsibility.And those plans do not have to remain static. As children mature and circumstances change, parents can revisit their plans accordingly.4. Give Wealth a Purpose Beyond YourselfDavid accumulated extraordinary resources for the temple, drawing from both Israel's treasury and his personal wealth.Yet David would never build it himself. God had given that responsibility to Solomon.David could have looked at that limitation and decided the project was no longer his concern. Instead, he prepared extensively for something another generation would complete.That offers an important perspective on stewardship. We cannot take our possessions with us when we die, but we can thoughtfully use them while we are here in ways that bless others and support work that continues beyond our lifetime.For families, that may include making generosity part of family life now rather than waiting until an estate is distributed.Parents might invite children into giving decisions, support ministries together, or develop a family mission statement that expresses the values they hope will continue into future generations. Some families may also incorporate charitable gifts or trusts into their estate plans.The specific tools will vary. The deeper goal is to cultivate a family culture in which wealth is understood as something God entrusted, not merely something to consume or accumulate.Use Financial Resources to Build Something GreaterRush has seen this principle at work in her own family. She and her husband have used financial resources to take their children on family mission trips, giving them opportunities to serve together and learn to share the gospel.Those experiences illustrate an important possibility: financial capital can sometimes develop something far more important—spiritual maturity, relationships, wisdom, and a vision for serving others.For parents, that raises a worthwhile question: How might the resources God has entrusted to us today help prepare the people who may steward them tomorrow?The answer will look different for every family. But the biblical pattern reminds us that wealth transfer is not simply an estate-planning event at the end of life. It is an ongoing process of teaching, communicating, preparing, and modeling faithful stewardship.David prepared resources for Solomon, but he also prepared Solomon for the resources. That may be one of the greatest gifts we can give the next generation.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My bank is being acquired, and the new bank has limited in-network ATM access when I travel.

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Robin Armstrong – As a physician, I think first about healthcare. A decision made in Washington can reach a hospital room in Texas, shaping what patients can afford and how doctors care for them. During COVID, many Americans learned how quickly emergency rules could change daily life. Families faced school closures, workplace requirements, and painful...

It not intended to treat, diagnose, or cure any health condition. N If you have specific concerns, please consult with your healthcare professional. Coach Bill Hogarty spent most of his life in peak condition, won twelve bodybuilding titles including Mr. California, and assumed he understood health. Then a shoulder injury sidelined him, he gained weight, and he learned what it feels like to be on the other side of the gym floor. That experience gave him something his training never had: empathy. Today he channels it into the Kids Diabetes Foundation, built on a conviction that childhood insulin resistance is preventable and that telling a struggling parent they are failing their kid will never work. In this candid conversation, Bill and Corinna trade notes as two people who have spent decades in health and fitness, and they do not always agree. They dig into why BMI is a poor marker while A1C and body composition tell a truer story, why muscle functions as an endocrine organ that protects us as we age, and why abstinence-based rules tend to backfire while moderation sticks. Corinna pushes back on the language of shame and on the toll that diet culture took on her own generation, and Bill meets her there. Along the way you will pick up practical, low-drama tactics: let your kid pick one thing from the produce aisle and build a meal around it, walk 30 minutes a day with someone you love, and learn one number that most doctors never order.

Christians often think about stewardship in terms of giving, saving, and spending. But if God owns everything He has entrusted to us, stewardship also raises another question: What about the companies we own through our investments?Harry Pearson, Founder and CEO of OneAscent, says that question became increasingly important in his own journey of faith and finance. OneAscent is a family of companies that equips advisors and investors with faith-aligned solutions for planning, investing, and giving.For Pearson, connecting biblical convictions with investing began with a broader realization: Faith should shape every part of our financial lives.Connecting Faith With the Rest of Our FinancesPearson grew up in a home where generosity was modeled well. His parents taught him to tithe from an early age. For every dollar he earned, he put a dime in the offering plate.What he had not learned, however, was how to connect his faith with the rest of his financial life.That began to change about 18 years ago when he attended his first Kingdom Advisors Conference. Pearson remembers arriving somewhat resistant, but the experience challenged him to consider what it would look like to align his work with the faith God had already planted in his heart.Colossians 3:23 became an important lens: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”That principle extends beyond our occupations. If everything belongs to God, then our time, abilities, and financial resources are all things we manage on His behalf.The question becomes not simply, “What do I want to do with what I have?” but, “How can I faithfully steward what God has entrusted to me?”Passing Along Values, Not Just ValuablesThat perspective also changes the way we think about leaving a legacy.Families often devote significant attention to the valuables they hope to leave the next generation—homes, savings, investments, and other assets. Pearson believes Christians should give just as much attention to the values they are passing along.Rather than focusing only on leaving a legacy, he encourages families to think about living one.Children often learn stewardship less from formal lessons than from what they regularly observe. They see how their parents talk about money, respond to financial pressure, practice generosity, and decide what matters most.That gives parents an opportunity to invite their children into the stewardship process.Let them see generosity practiced. Allow them to participate in serving others. Talk with them about why your family chooses to support particular ministries or causes. Those conversations can help the next generation understand not merely what the family owns, but why it uses money the way it does.After all, preparing the next steward is about more than transferring assets. It is about cultivating wisdom and faithfulness in the person who may one day receive them.Do You Know What You Own?The same stewardship framework applies to investing.Many investors purchase mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or other investments without knowing much about the individual companies they indirectly own. Pearson believes that is worth examining.If God is the ultimate owner of our resources, Christians can thoughtfully consider whether the businesses in their portfolios align with their biblical convictions.That begins with a simple question: Do you know what you own?For some investors, looking beneath the surface of a portfolio may reveal companies or business activities they would not knowingly choose to support. That realization has helped drive the growth of faith-based and values-aligned investing.At OneAscent, Pearson says the investment process includes three broad steps: eliminating companies whose activities conflict with certain biblical convictions, carefully evaluating the remaining investment opportunities, and seeking businesses that are making a positive contribution through the products and services they provide.The goal is not merely to avoid certain companies. It is to think more intentionally about what ownership means and how investment capital is being used.Can Values-Aligned Investing Be Financially Responsible?One concern surrounding faith-based investing has historically been whether applying values to a portfolio necessarily requires sacrificing investment performance.Pearson says the field has developed considerably over the past decade. There are now longer track records, more investment options, and increasingly sophisticated approaches to portfolio construction.But he has also come to appreciate that values-aligned investing is not only about selecting investments. It can also influence investor behavior.When investors consider their principles before markets become volatile, they may be better prepared to stay disciplined when uncertainty arrives. Rather than making emotional decisions in the moment, they can return to an investment philosophy they have already thoughtfully established.For Christians, that provides another opportunity to move from simply knowing what they believe to putting those beliefs into practice.Bringing Stewardship Into the PortfolioFaithful stewardship touches far more than the offering plate. It shapes how we earn, spend, save, give, plan, and prepare the next generation. And for Christians who own investments, it can also shape the way they think about the businesses represented in their portfolios.That does not mean every Christian will make identical investment decisions. But it does mean we can approach investing prayerfully and thoughtfully, remembering that the resources under our care ultimately belong to God.OneAscent helps advisors and investors explore how their financial lives and investments align with their biblical values, including through a portfolio analysis.To learn more, visit OneAscent.com/FaithFi.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'll turn 65 in January and am considering disability because my school job is becoming harder to manage. Should I use my employer's short-term disability benefit, apply for Social Security Disability, or both? And when should I start the process?My credit scores are consistently above 800, but a bank recently showed a score of 780 when evaluating me for a HELOC. Why can the scores lenders use differ so much from the scores consumers see?My husband recently passed away, and I received about $50,000 in life insurance proceeds. I'd like to keep roughly half as an emergency fund and invest the other $25,000. I'm 59, working full-time, have only a car payment and a 3.87% mortgage, and may also receive VA survivor benefits.

Ever wonder what it takes to earn the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award before you're 50? In this episode, Steve sits down with Jake Rademacher, for a story-filled conversation about courage, commitment, authenticity, service, and what it means to make the hard choices that move us toward a life that feels like our own. Jake traces his journey from walking away from a promising path in business to pursuing acting and filmmaking, eventually risking everything to tell the story of his brothers serving in Iraq. What began with a borrowed camera and an idea no one wanted to fund ultimately took Jake into a war zone, where he learned firsthand that courage isn't necessarily something we have before taking a leap- it can be something we build by continually choosing the next difficult step. The conversation also explores how Jake's understanding of courage has evolved. Today, it is less about putting himself in dangerous situations and more about having the vulnerability to ask difficult questions, hold space for someone else's story, and follow a conversation wherever it needs to go. Through his work and in partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation to support families impacted by war, Jake has learned how authenticity, curiosity, and connection can create opportunities for people to confront experiences they may have carried silently for years. In this episode, you'll hear about:  Why some of Jake's greatest periods of growth began with failure or loss How an award-winning film began with a leap of faith, a borrowed camera, and total commitment Why courage is something we can build one difficult decision at a time How vulnerability, curiosity, and difficult questions can create deeper human connection Why being honest about where you're stuck can help you move toward a more authentic life Listen now and ask yourself: Your time is limited- what do you want to do with it? About the guest: Jake Rademacher is the Founder and President of Metanoia Films and Perseverance Productions. Between 2005 and 2007, Jake risked everything, including his life, to tell the story of his brothers serving in Iraq, filming the award-winning feature documentary Brothers at War. The film was released in theaters across America, premiered on Showtime, and was later released around the world. Jake then created the Brothers at War Resiliency Workshops, which have been conducted for more than 60,000 Service Members and their Families. With Gary Sinise returning as Executive Producer, Jake directed and produced the award-winning Brothers After War and currently leads a team conducting 45 events annually. Jake has also written, directed, and produced numerous commercials and short films. He is a recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Distinguished Education Award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Soaring Eagle Award from the National Veterans Day Foundation, and the Distinguished Service Award from The Caucus of Producers, Writers, and Directors. He is an honorary Colonel in the Oklahoma National Guard, a Canon Chasing the Light Filmmaker, a member of the Directors Guild of America, and a SAG-AFTRA member. As a performer, he has appeared in numerous theatrical productions and films and narrated hundreds of documentary series and commercials. He graduated cum laude with a degree in English from the University of Notre Dame and studied playwriting and drama at Trinity College Dublin. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is a dedicated father to his two children, Josie and Noel. Connect with Jake Rademacher: Website: https://brothersafterwar.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jake-rademacher-2bb5403/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brothersafterwar/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brothersafterwar  Send us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

What happens after childhood cancer changes everything?In this special episode of Game Over : c*ncer, hosts Val Solomon and Dana Nichols of Cannonball Kids' cancer Foundation revisit some of the most powerful childhood cancer survivor and family stories shared throughout the podcast.This retrospective brings together unforgettable conversations about pediatric cancer diagnosis, childhood cancer treatment, survivorship, grief, mental health, scan anxiety, life after chemotherapy, finding a new normal, losing a child, and turning pain into purpose.For many childhood cancer survivors, finishing treatment is only the beginning of another journey. Survivors may face long-term side effects, questions about identity, survivor guilt, fear of recurrence, and the challenge of figuring out what “normal” looks like after cancer. Families also carry the emotional impact long after treatment ends, from the anxiety surrounding follow-up scans and bloodwork to the lasting trauma of watching a child fight for their life. As one family explains in this episode, you don't necessarily fully exhale when treatment ends. You'll also hear from parents and loved ones who turned devastating loss into advocacy, research funding, community support, and a commitment to keeping their children's names and legacies alive. Across 50 episodes, Game Over: c*ncer has created space for pediatric cancer researchers, survivors, families, donors, and advocates to tell the stories behind the fight for better treatments and better outcomes.This milestone episode celebrates those voices while reminding us why the work continues.Learn more about Cannonball Kids' cancer Foundation and how you can help advance childhood cancer research at cannonballkidscancer.org.Subscribe to Game Over: c*ncer for more conversations about pediatric cancer research, nonprofit leadership, philanthropy, childhood cancer advocacy, innovative cancer treatments, and the people working to create meaningful change.----------------------------------Learn more about Cannonball Kids' cancer Foundation and support pediatric cancer research: cannonballkidscancer.org----------------------------------Connect with Dana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danaknichols/Connect with Val: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-solomon/Join us for the LINK conference: https://cannonballkidscancer.org/link

In this episode, a look a the non-profit website of the National Alliance on Mental Health. What does it offer for those of us that have mental health challenges? There is good stuff on the NAMI website. Eh, there is a problem in the episode: I said the word of when I should have said on. I've fixed the visuals but... yeah I goofed. There are websites that claim to provide mental health information. Many of them are commercial for profit websites. Nothing wrong with that but you have to look at the product and what they sell.    Often it is you.    Not just cookies any more there are trackers, bugs and algorithm fences that round you and your information up for profit.   Some websites provide a surface level information that is connected to affiliate links.  Even those sites that originally have nothing to do with mental health issues.    I've seen mental health related articles on tech websites, hardware websites, and so called consumer-ish type sites that are nothing but link farms for products that are being sold under the guise of a review.    So I want to start doing more about describing the legit sites, the tolerable ones and hopefully over time, this will help folks stay away from the more skanky sites.   Resources Mentioned:  NAMI Information page on Mental Health Conditions.   NAMI Connections for Peer Support Group.

What rights do parents have when public schools make decisions involving their children’s gender identity without informing them? Lisa Boothe sits down with Jim Campbell, Chief Legal Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), to examine the growing legal battle over parental rights in America’s public schools. Campbell discusses what ADF describes as “secret social transition” policies, including cases in which schools allegedly used different names or pronouns for students while withholding that information from their parents. Campbell also breaks down ADF’s litigation involving parental notification and religious freedom, explains what he says recent court decisions mean for families, and discusses cases ADF has pursued in states including New York, Michigan, Kansas, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. Lisa and Jim also tackle disputes over sexually explicit and LGBTQ-themed material in school libraries and classrooms, parents’ ability to opt their children out of certain instruction, and how families can challenge school policies through the courts and local school boards. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about parental rights, public education, gender identity, religious liberty, free speech, and the legal fight over who makes consequential decisions for children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Waxman grew up in a house where money was never the issue, until his parents divorced and he saw how fast everything you build can be taken. That sent him studying how the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Morgans protected what they created, and it led him to infinite banking, a way to use a whole life policy as your own private banking system. I have wanted to build something in this space for 22 years, and I never found a version that felt like more than selling a product until I saw what Josh does for business owners. In this episode, we get into how it protects against death, divorce, debt, and lawsuits while still letting you borrow against your own capital, and why most people never hear about it. We also talk about why whole life has the reputation it does, and what my daughter's savings account taught me about fees. What makes this more than a concept is what Josh did with his own business. When we started working together, he was the top salesperson and the bottleneck, and he had to learn to duplicate himself, strip the company down to the studs, and pour into a core group of leaders. The result was close to 10X the business with a fifth of the people. Now we are bringing this inside Cardone Ventures, starting in Miami and Arizona, so owners can protect their families and their net worth while they scale.

You name it.At the same time, she was working full-time as a social worker, pursuing her master's degree in clinical social work, becoming a new mom, and figuring out how the heck to run an actual photography business.She knew pretty quickly that what she was doing wasn't sustainable.What she needed wasn't more random information or another person telling her to “just post more.” She needed direction.Over the years we've worked together, Kelly has built the foundations of her business, narrowed her focus to weddings, refined her brand, learned how to generate and convert leads, elevated her client experience, raised her wedding photography prices, and intentionally positioned herself for the clients and venues she wanted.Today, she's booking $7,000 weddings and she recently booked two of them in a row. But one of my favorite parts of Kelly's story is that her growth goes so much deeper than the number on the invoice.She has learned how to make strategic decisions for her own business, create a brand that actually feels like her, build meaningful industry relationships, and confidently step into each new level of growth.Because becoming a sought-after wedding photographer isn't just about taking pretty photos. It's about building a business that knows how to attract, nurture, and convert the right people.Kelly Friday Photography: https://kellyfridayphotography.comYour Next Steps

How do we break the silence around youth mental health in South Asian and Indian American communities? Why do so many high-achieving youth suffer from internal burnout, and how can parents identify subtle warning signs before a situation becomes a crisis?In this vital episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, host Dr. Abhay Dandekar sits down with Dr. Apurva Bhatt, a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist at Stanford Medicine. Dr. Bhatt specializes in early identification of psychosis, suicide prevention strategies, school mental health integration, and culturally responsive care for South Asian diaspora families.Dr. Bhatt breaks down the "model minority myth," unpacks the intergenerational trauma and communication gaps between immigrant parents and second/third-generation youth, challenges the pervasive fear of "what will people say?"

Show SummaryOn today's episode, we're having a conversation with Elizabeth Musselman, an Elizabeth Dole Caregiver Fellow, about the unrecognized evolution of veteran caregiving and the hidden burdens placed on military children.Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you. If you PsychArmor has helped you learn, grow, and support those who've served and those who care for them, we would appreciate hearing your story. Please follow this link to share how PsychArmor has helped you in your service journey Share PsychArmor StoriesAbout Today's GuestElizabeth Musselman is a military caregiver and a 2026 Elizabeth Dole Foundation Caregiver Fellow. In this role, she works with policymakers, Special Operations families, and veteran-serving organizations on the mental health needs of children living in veteran caregiver homes, a population largely absent from current policy and program design. Her advocacy focuses on the intergenerational effects of combat injury, including how a veteran parent's symptoms shape a child's development, attachment, and role in the family. She is a member of the Hidden Helpers Coalition and delivered the keynote address at the 2025 Elizabeth Dole Foundation National Convening in Washington, D.C. Elizabeth previously built a career in finance and technology and earned her J.D. before becoming the full-time caregiver for her husband, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, and raising their three children in the home his service shaped. Links Mentioned in this Episode Elizabeth Dole Foundation WebsiteMCON Health SummitElizabeth on LinkedInPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course, Supporting Youth Who Support Veterans.

For some kids, the most powerful support is not one more program. It is an adult who keeps showing up. Jorie Das is the Executive Director of Friends of the Children Los Angeles, an organization doing something that immediately got my attention: pairing children who have experienced significant adversity with paid, professional mentors who make a 12-plus-year commitment to them. These are not volunteers dropping in for a semester or a program that disappears when the funding cycle ends. Friends spend intentional time with kids at school, at home, and in the community while helping them navigate goals, transitions, new experiences, and the very ordinary business of growing up. As Jorie says, childhood is not a program cycle. A kid can be doing beautifully at eight and struggling enormously at thirteen. Schools change. Families change. Adolescence happens. The commitment is designed to stay in place through those changes because the child does not have to reach a milestone or behave a particular way to earn the relationship. That becomes especially important when we talk about trauma. Jorie explains that we cannot expect a child who has experienced instability in relationships to immediately trust a new adult just because that adult has excellent intentions. Kids may pull away, shut down, or test whether this person is really staying. The mentor gets to respond through their actions: "You don't have to earn my consistency. I'm still here." Over time, that relationship can create new experiences of safety, predictability, and repair. Mentorship is not a replacement for therapy when a child needs clinical care, but a safe and consistent adult can absolutely be part of the healing environment. What I also love about the Friends model is that the child is not treated as though they exist in a vacuum. The organization supports caregivers, works with schools, connects families with community resources, and supports the mentors themselves. Because if we are asking adults to show up consistently for kids carrying a lot, those adults need people showing up for them too. We also talk about neurodivergence and educational advocacy. Jorie shares that a large percentage of the young people served by Friends LA have IEPs, which has pushed the organization to build more training around ADHD, autism, IEPs, and helping caregivers communicate with schools. Sometimes the parent knows something is not working but does not know the language, the process, or even who they are supposed to talk to. Having someone who knows the child and can help bridge that gap can change the entire conversation. And underneath all of this is something very simple and very human: kids need people who do not give up on them. Not because the relationship will always be easy. In fact, sometimes the most important moment may be after the really hard day, when the adult can say, "I'll see you Tuesday." For a child who has learned that people or support can disappear, knowing somebody is coming back can be a very big deal. Key Takeaways Consistency can be an intervention, especially for children who have experienced trauma or instability in relationships. Children should not have to behave a certain way or reach a milestone to earn a trusted adult's continued presence. Long-term relationships give adults the chance to know the whole child as they grow and change over time. Trauma can make it difficult for children to trust adults, even when those adults have good intentions. Safe, predictable relationships can create new experiences of trust, repair, and connection. Mentorship can support healing, but it does not replace therapy or other clinical care when those services are needed. Supporting children also means supporting caregivers, schools, mentors, and the larger community around them. Neurodivergent children and their caregivers may need additional support navigating IEPs and advocating within school systems. When a child pushes an adult away, curiosity about what they have learned about relationships can be more useful than taking the behavior personally. Sometimes the most powerful message an adult can give a child is simply, "I'm still here." About Jorie Das Jorie Das is the Executive Director of Friends of the Children Los Angeles, where she leads an evidence-based professional mentoring program serving children and families impacted by the child welfare system. With more than a decade of experience in nonprofit management, youth programming, and advocacy in Greater Los Angeles, Jorie is deeply committed to positive youth development, trauma-informed care, and the transformative power of long-term relationships. Her own experience in foster care also brings an important lived perspective to her work. Under Jorie's leadership, Friends LA has expanded its reach across Los Angeles County, growing the number of youth and families served and developing additional programming to support young people as they move toward adulthood. She previously served as Interim Executive Director at InsideOUT Writers and held executive roles at Baby2Baby and Free Arts.

Episode 164: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kristina Baron, Co-Managing Partner and Managing Director at Oxford Financial Group. Kristina started in the industry as a high school intern in a financial advisor's office and later worked at Goldman Sachs before joining Oxford. Today she helps lead a team that serves roughly 700 families across the country. Kyle and Kristina explore what it takes to coordinate advice for families whose needs span investments, estate planning, taxes, trusts, outside advisors, and multiple generations. Kristina shares why understanding a family's values should precede any solution, how Oxford structures teams and communication to make complexity manageable, and why continuity depends on giving younger generations a voice. They also discuss data integrity, connected technology, practical AI applications, and Kristina's concerns about how consolidation and pressure for new revenue streams could reshape the RIA landscape. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:31) - Kristina's money moment (04:56) - Why understanding has to come before expertise (07:10) - Coordinating estate planning across jurisdictions (10:05) - Standing out when every firm says it serves families like yours (15:38) - Working alongside a family's other advisors (18:12) - Making a complex service model feel simple (19:46) - Planning for every generation of the family (23:23) - Why communication breaks down between generations (27:14) - Building the data foundation before layering on technology (30:08) - Where AI fits in serving ultra-high-net-worth families (33:33) - Kristina's outlook on the future of the wealth management industry (36:43) - Kristina's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Understand the family before designing the solution. Technical expertise only goes so far when several generations, advisors, and priorities are involved. Open-ended questions about values, concerns, and goals help determine what the family actually needs before specialists begin solving for it. Coordination matters as much as specialization. Complex families may work with attorneys, CPAs, insurance professionals, and multiple wealth managers at once. Shared communication, clearly assigned follow-up items, and a coordinated team help keep good individual advice from becoming a fragmented overall plan. Bring the next generation into the conversation before a transition happens. Continuity becomes harder when a family structure reflects only the founder generation's priorities. Families can preserve important values while still giving later generations enough context and voice to understand, engage with, and eventually help shape the plan. Build the data foundation before expecting more from AI. Clean information and connected systems reduce manual work and give AI more useful problems to solve. The opportunity is to accelerate analysis and information retrieval while preserving human judgment and the personal interaction that complex families still value. Quotes "Facts help drive decision-making, but I think feelings and values drive even more important decision-making." ~ Kristina Baron "We can't fool ourselves that we're the best at everything, so we need to work together as a team to accomplish it, and really understand what it is that you're trying to solve for." ~ Kristina Baron "There's a way to still hold true to the values of generation one, while also allowing conversations and evolution into what's really important for generation two and beyond." ~ Kristina Baron Links  Kristina Baron on LinkedIn Oxford Financial Group Jeffrey H.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260928dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Philippians 2:1-2 A Unity Only Jesus Can Bring There is a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” This quip is traditionally linked to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The United States had banded together under the common cause of liberty and if we were going to be an independent nation, we were going to have to stick together. If the people couldn’t unite, the newly formed nation would crumble, and all her leaders would be tried for treason and hanged. Unity. Don’t you crave it? Don’t you want unity in your country, with your neighbor, with your family? Isn’t it great when there is unity in our relationships? Of course! Unity brings harmony and peace. But unity doesn't always come easy. Politics divide a nation. Petty squabbles irritate the neighbor next door. Families hold onto grudges over unkind things done and said at Thanksgiving ten years ago. Even amongst Christians there are fights and feuds. But the author of today’s Bible reading makes an appeal to you. He says that, as a Christian, you know the sacrifice that Jesus has made for you. You know that selfless act of your Savior, Jesus, who gave up his life and died so that all your wrongdoings and faults would be forgiven. Friend, remember that sacrifice of Jesus! It is his sacrifice that puts everything in perspective. When I remember the lengths to which Jesus went to save me, that causes me to look at everyone else in my life on my side. We all deserve death because of our failures. But we all have been forgiven because of Christ. And that forgiveness causes me to love and forgive and be united with everyone. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you have united us to yourself and to one another. Fill us with your Spirit so that our lives reflect the oneness you have already given us.

Safe, stable, and affordable housing is foundational to children's well-being and long-term success. Decades of research show that when families can access quality homes in well-resourced neighborhoods, children experience better health outcomes, stronger educational attainment, and improved economic mobility over the course of their lives. Yet for millions of families across the United States, and disproportionately families of color, safe and stable housing remains out of reach. Guests Dr. Megan Sandel and Charlotte Bruce discuss the history of Children's HealthWatch and the OSAH campaign's partnership, why affordable housing matters to healthcare providers, and two new issue briefs, “Stable Homes, Healthy Children” and “A Foundation for Every Child,” that highlight the health impacts of housing instability and eviction on children and families, current threats to federal housing programs, and policy opportunities to ensure every child has a stable foundation from which to grow and thrive. Read the briefs here: https://childrenshealthwatch.org/housing-is-a-foundation-for-child-health-evidence-policy-and-whats-at-stake/

In this opening message of the "Faith and Family in the Fall" series, Pastor Kerrick Butler establishes that God has a specific path for every individual and every family, and that true greatness in the kingdom of God is achieved through servant-hearted living. 

In this episode of Why Distance Learning?, Seth, Allyson, and Tami continue their conversation with Dr. Mark Deschaine — Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Mississippi and editor of the Journal of Contemporary Research in Education — about what it actually means to individualize, differentiate, personalize, and build presence in online learning environments, and why treating those four things as synonyms has real consequences for practice. Deschaine frames the discussion through decades of research in special education policy, online learning design, and teacher preparation.Together, Seth, Allyson, Tami, and Mark explore the four distinct instructional frames — individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence — unpacking each one's theoretical basis and what it requires from a teacher or program designer. Mark introduces a four-quadrant framework for educational decision-making — theoretical, legal, empirical, and practical — that grounds those choices in something more durable than intuition. Seth synthesizes the two frameworks into a single arc: differentiation creates the conditions, individualization targets the path, personalization restores the learner's agency, and presence is the measure of whether it worked. The conversation then turns structural: as tens of thousands of students leave traditional systems for homeschooling and micro schools, school districts lose not just enrollment revenue but their roles as the primary economic engines of rural communities. Mark traces how state variation in school choice policy, educational savings accounts, and the decentralization of federal funding are reshaping where families live — and what kinds of learning infrastructure those communities can sustain. The episode ends on a question Mark leaves deliberately open: does a community have the resilience to absorb this level of change?Key topics:Individualization, differentiation, personalization, and presence as four distinct instructional framesFour-quadrant decision-making: theoretical, legal, empirical, and practicalHow special education's IEP model illuminates what individualized learning actually requiresHomeschooling growth and its impact on traditional school enrollment and fundingSchool districts as community economic engines — and what happens when they shrinkState variation in school choice, educational savings accounts, and online learning accessGeographic equity gaps in who can access distance learningLinks & Resources:"Framing Instructional Strategies as a Concept in K-12 Digital Learning" — Deschaine, Rice & Rose, ResearchGate, March 2026. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/402734231"Providing Special Education Services in Fully Online Statewide Virtual Schools: A Policy Scan" — Deschaine et al., 2020. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340436252National Standards for Quality Online Learning (NSQOL): https://nsqol.org/Michigan Virtual: michiganvirtual.orgThe Reflective Practitioner — Donald Schön: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/donald-a-schon/the-reflective-practitioner/9780786725366/?lens=basic-booksGuest Bio: Mark E.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260928dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Philippians 2:1-2 A Unity Only Jesus Can Bring There is a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, “We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” This quip is traditionally linked to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The United States had banded together under the common cause of liberty and if we were going to be an independent nation, we were going to have to stick together. If the people couldn’t unite, the newly formed nation would crumble, and all her leaders would be tried for treason and hanged. Unity. Don’t you crave it? Don’t you want unity in your country, with your neighbor, with your family? Isn’t it great when there is unity in our relationships? Of course! Unity brings harmony and peace. But unity doesn't always come easy. Politics divide a nation. Petty squabbles irritate the neighbor next door. Families hold onto grudges over unkind things done and said at Thanksgiving ten years ago. Even amongst Christians there are fights and feuds. But the author of today’s Bible reading makes an appeal to you. He says that, as a Christian, you know the sacrifice that Jesus has made for you. You know that selfless act of your Savior, Jesus, who gave up his life and died so that all your wrongdoings and faults would be forgiven. Friend, remember that sacrifice of Jesus! It is his sacrifice that puts everything in perspective. When I remember the lengths to which Jesus went to save me, that causes me to look at everyone else in my life on my side. We all deserve death because of our failures. But we all have been forgiven because of Christ. And that forgiveness causes me to love and forgive and be united with everyone. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you have united us to yourself and to one another. Fill us with your Spirit so that our lives reflect the oneness you have already given us. Make our joy complete as we live in the same love and mind that is ours in you. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.
