Today we hear from Dr. Maria Rutmann, founder of Lionheart Direct Primary Care in northern Maine. She discusses the transformative power of the Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic model as physician burnout and healthcare system challenges escalate nationwide. Dr. Rutmann shares her journey from working in a traditional fee-for-service hospital group - where mounting administrative demands and loss of autonomy led to emotional exhaustion - to reclaiming her purpose and joy in medicine through DPC.Listeners learn how Lionheart DPC empowers physicians to practice value-based care by fostering lasting patient-physician relationships, personalizing health experiences, and eliminating the barriers of insurance-driven healthcare. Dr. Rutmann emphasizes that DPC not only improves healthcare access in rural areas, but also allows doctors the time and freedom to provide comprehensive, preventative, and patient-centered care. Families in her community have experienced the convenience and rapid responsiveness of the DPC model, sometimes avoiding costly and time-consuming ER visits and walk-ins thanks to direct communication and same-day appointments.This episode also highlights how DPC serves as a solution to physician burnout, supporting practitioners to reconnect with their sense of purpose, maximize patient outcomes, and enjoy professional autonomy. Listeners considering DPC - from those facing moral injury in fee-for-service settings, to those interested in community-driven, flexible healthcare - will find practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and proof that a better way in healthcare is not only possible, but thriving.Keywords: physician burnout, healthcare access, direct primary care, DPC, value-based care, physician autonomy, patient-centered care, rural healthcare, medical practice models, Lionheart Direct Primary Care.Learn about healthcare for your own family and about health shares today!

(The Center Square) – Illinois families will see some relief at the Thanksgiving table this year, with the average cost of a classic holiday meal dropping to $49.20, continuing a three-year decline and mirroring the national average of $55.18, a 5% drop from 2024. Tasha Bunting, associate director of commodities and livestock programs at the Illinois Farm Bureau, said multiple factors are pushing costs down across the state. “We definitely have seen not only here in Illinois but across the nation within the survey that turkey prices have come down,” Bunting said. “Some of the other ingredients that are used within the meal have come down… like the frozen peas and some of the other staples that we normally have within the Thanksgiving dinner.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

So many young people from divorced or dysfunctional families assume their story is unique — or worse, that they're destined to repeat the same patterns. But the truth is, family brokenness is far more common than anyone talks about. And God has been dealing with messy family dynamics since the beginning of time.In this episode, Deacon Ryan Budd, who served as Dr. Scott Hahn's research assistant, reveals how the Bible is full of families just as complicated, chaotic, and wounded as ours. He explains why God doesn't simply “fix” things instantly, how healing actually unfolds, and what Scripture shows us about breaking cycles and building something new.We cover:Why broken families are more common than you thinkThe surprising dysfunction hidden in biblical storiesHow God works through pain instead of erasing itDavid's family drama — and what it shows us about redemptionPractical steps to begin healing and avoid repeating the pastIf you've ever feared that your future family is doomed by your past, or you're searching for hope in the mess you come from, this episode is for you.Buy the Book: Salvation Stories: Family, Failure, and God's Saving Work in ScriptureGet the Guide: 5 Tips to Navigate the Holidays in a Broken FamilyWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Get Dakota's FREE Guide, The Biggest Fitness Mistakes to AvoidShownotesQuestion for Joey or our guests?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The root of the cultural chaos we are experiencing is a surrender of the Truth of things!  Today Jack takes you inside a viral confrontation over women's locker rooms, presses into why definitions matter for safety and law, and asks a harder question most debates skip: are we created with purpose and order, or are we accidents of history free to redefine reality on the fly? From that starting point, everything else follows—coherent policy, compassionate boundaries, and a moral ecology that protects the vulnerable.We share the exchange of a Lesbian Black women with a liberal state senator as a case study in clashing worldviews: identity claims versus biological reality, the language of “inclusion” versus the lived experience of women who need privacy and protection. Then we widen the frame to children, adoption, and natural law. If public institutions treat bodies as arbitrary and family as interchangeable, who absorbs the cost? We wrestle with that question honestly and keep kids at the center.We also examine the Church's Shepherds, who are responsible for proclaiming the Truth...who instead struggle to speak with clarity, highlighting moments of institutional confusion and the courage of leaders like Bishop Strickland who ask for fidelity to doctrine. Rather than despair, we pivot to formation: how small, faithful communities and daily habits can renew minds and rebuild culture from the parish outward. Scripture's promise—“you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”—is presented as a roadmap to real freedom, not license, and to love that is ordered, fruitful, and humane.If you're tired of “my truth” vs “your truth,” this conversation offers first principles, practical steps, and a battle plan for living the truth with charity.

A lawyer for Pike River families says police now have enough evidence to lay manslaughter charges over the mine disaster. Twenty-nine men were killed in the 2010 mine explosion and while charges under the Health and Safety Act were laid against former Pike River Coal boss Peter Whittall, they were dropped in exchange for a $3 million payment to the victims families. The police undertook further drilling into the mine in 2021 to gather more evidence and have been working with the Crown Solicitor trying to decide whether to lay charges. Samantha Gee has more.

Gustavo Arellano reports from California's ground zero of President Trump's deportation crackdown. The Los Angeles Times columnist explains why many Latino voters who supported Trump now feel betrayed, how Southern California's "suburban apathy" toward immigration raids contrasts with Chicago's whistle-led resistance, and how the dynamics of 1994's the anti-immigrant Proposition 187 — which radicalized a generation of California Latinos — have echoed in current debates over immigration.

In this heartfelt holiday episode, Bobby Cooley and Meg Landi welcome Hannah Bush from Preteen Journey to talk about something deeper than traditions: Family Holiday Habits, and especially the practice of Advent. While the holiday season is packed with traditions, events, and cultural pressure, it's easy for families to get swept up in the noise and miss the holiness at the center of it all. Together, we explore how Advent can become a grounding habit that helps families pause, reflect, and intentionally prepare their hearts for Christ's coming. Hannah shares: The true purpose of Advent—what it is, why it matters, and how it reshapes our focus during a busy season. Practical and grace-filled resources that help families build healthy holiday habits from day one of the season all the way into the new year. How the meaningful moments we choose to prioritize shape generations, influencing the way our children will one day lead their own families in faith. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reset, and discover holiday habits that draw your family toward what's holy, not just what's expected. Join us for a conversation full of encouragement, intentionality, and a whole lot of hope for the season ahead.Download your FREE Preteen & Family Holiday Advent GuideConnect with Hannah from Preteen Journey Website: https://preteenjourney.org/ InstagramFind More FREE Advent resources here.About Empowered Homes Who we are?

In this episode, recorded on site at the 2025 Alliance annual conference, Nicole Hoesing from Chadron  Hospice opens up about the true impact of hospice care, not just for patients, but for their families as well. Hospice isn't only about end-of-life care; it's about preserving dignity, offering comfort, and supporting loved ones long after the patient has passed.  Nicole shares about the emotional, spiritual, and practical support given to families and how some times the family support can be a deciding factor for a patient choosing hospice services.  Nicole also talks about how her time at Alliance allows her to focus on what she does, why she does it, and how to better take care of her team so they can take care of their patients who need that last grace.  Chapters (00:00:02) - Home Health Revealed: The Alliance in New Orleans(00:01:00) - Hospice Expo 2017: Talking About the Future

Dr. Helen Russell, Research Professor with the ESRI, on a new study which finds participation in after-school clubs and centres is more common among higher-income families.

Some holidays feel bright on the outside and heavy on the inside. We sit down with Liz Gaught from the Center for Children and Families to show what hope looks like when it's built on everyday actions: a single recorded interview that spares a child from retelling trauma, a counselor stepping into a living room to spot strengths and needs, a wish list that becomes new clothes and a toy to open on Christmas morning.Starting with CASA and growing across 48 parishes in Louisiana and seven counties in Mississippi, the Center pairs advocacy, education, and prevention with direct services that meet families where they are. Liz walks us through the Children's Advocacy Center approach, why prevention trainings matter, and how the new Hope Center in West Monroe adds counseling and medication management for kids who need both therapy and clinical care. The thread running through it all is trust: families see the same team before and after the holidays, and donors know gifts reach specific children already in services.We also talk about the Christmas Project—how it began with 50 soccer balls and now mobilizes businesses, churches, and neighbors to adopt wish lists, host collection sites, and fund essentials you won't find under a tree. One powerful example: a partner donation purchased six mattresses for siblings who had been sleeping on air beds and the floor. That's what local support can do when relationships are in place and needs are verified.Behind these programs is a culture that protects the protectors. Liz shares how leadership builds a workplace where heavy stories meet real recovery—puzzles on the table, shared meals, short walks, and benefits that help teams stay grounded. We close with a reminder that the tunnel isn't the end; there is light, and community keeps it burning. If you're ready to help or need help, visit standforhope.org.

Advent season is about “waiting in anticipation” for Jesus' coming. In the Western world, we wait by throwing Christmas parties, buying presents, and trying to avoid the hustle and bustle. But instead of trying to avoid, what if we tried to embrace? It's one thing to avoid, it's quite another to step into something with intention. In this episode, Josh and Christi share ways of embracing presence this Christmas — both with your spouse and kids, and with God as well.

Bryan Kohberger has just been ordered to pay for another part of the aftermath he created — this time, roughly $3,000 for two victims' urns, on top of the more than $30,000 restitution outlined in his agreement. On the surface, it feels like a moment of overdue accountability in a case where nothing has moved fast enough, clean enough, or confidently enough. But as always in the Kohberger saga… the fine print tells a very different story. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives into the judge's ruling — not just what it means for restitution, but what it quietly unlocks. Because the judge didn't just say “pay up.” He said Kohberger can get a job in prison or ask for donations to raise the money. Let that sink in. When the court says “donations,” that opens the door to an entire ecosystem of online supporters, fringe communities, contrarians, and high-profile-case obsessives who will absolutely try to send him money. And legally? They can. As long as it goes toward restitution. But here's the real problem: What happens once the restitution is paid off? That's where things get uncomfortable. Because any money that comes in after his debt is satisfied becomes fair game under prison regulations. Commissary. Comfort. Influence. Power. Even long-term financial positioning. And then there's the big, ugly question most people don't want to touch: Can he someday legally profit from his story? “Son of Sam” laws were gutted years ago. The restrictions people assume exist… often don't. Third-party deals, “creative packaging,” and legally gray revenue channels have helped other high-profile offenders monetize their notoriety. And with this ruling, Kohberger now has the first ingredient he needs — a pathway for money to flow toward him legally. Tony breaks down what's fair, what's dangerous, and what the system just opened the door to. Accountability is one thing. What comes after it? That's the part nobody's ready for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoCase #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #CrimeUpdates #CourtRulings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history—trillions of dollars moving from one generation to the next. But this moment isn't just about inheritance. It's about passing on faith, values, and a vision for generosity.To explore how younger Christians are reimagining stewardship, we spoke with Christin Fejervary, Vice President for Brand and Experience at the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—a trusted partner helping believers give wisely and joyfully.From Obligation to Joyful GenerosityChristin's passion for generosity began early, though not in the way it's shaped her life today.“As a kid,” she shared, “giving was more of an obligation. I watched my parents tithe every week, and I learned discipline from that—but it wasn't until my 20s and 30s, and especially through working at NCF, that I saw how generosity changes us. It frees us from being tied to the things of this world.”That personal transformation has guided her work—helping others experience the joy that comes when giving is no longer a rule to follow but a relationship with God to live out.What's Driving the Next Generation to GiveWhen it comes to generosity, Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the playbook.According to NCF's research, millennials—now roughly ages 29 to 44—view philanthropy as part of their identity. For Christian millennials, that identity is deeply spiritual: “My life is a way to give away.”Christin explains:“They believe all resources have equal value—not just money, but time, influence, and relationships. They don't just want to write a check. They want to be part of the change.”This shift from transactional to relational giving marks a profound change from previous generations.Reimagining Traditional ToolsYounger Christians aren't abandoning tools like donor-advised funds, estate plans, or investment portfolios—they're personalizing them.“They want to see impact,” Christin said. “They're asking, ‘How is my giving being used?' and ‘What difference is it making?'”They're also expanding how they define stewardship—using investment portfolios for charitable investing and seeking spiritual returns as much as financial ones.At NCF, this has led to growing interest in community-based giving. Across the country, younger givers are joining together to give collectively, blending faith, friendship, and impact.What Advisors Need to KnowFinancial advisors also play a key role in this transition. But Christin says serving the next generation requires a shift in mindset.“Younger Christians want to co-create their giving plans. They want a seat at the table and a voice in the process. It's not just about managing money—it's about helping them uncover all the ways God's entrusted them to give.”For advisors, that means focusing less on control and more on collaboration, connection, and calling.How Families Can Have Faith-Filled ConversationsGenerosity isn't just a financial transaction—it's a family story. Cristin encourages families to start there.“The data shows that both generations—young and old—see faith as a guiding principle,” she said. “The key is to unpack what faithfulness looks like for each generation. When families share stories of how God has provided and guided them, something powerful happens.”Listening to one another's experiences helps bridge differences and creates a shared vision for stewardship across generations.How NCF Is Helping the Next Generation Live GenerouslyAt the National Christian Foundation (NCF), this generational shift is sparking new ideas and tools for families and advisors alike.New Research & Resources: NCF has published a comprehensive Next Gen Generosity Report—designed to help both older and younger generations navigate these conversations.Experiences & Events: Through community gatherings and local partnerships, NCF helps families explore generosity together—often in creative, organic ways led by next-gen participants.Collaboration with Advisors and Churches: NCF connects givers to trusted partners who can guide them through every stage of stewardship—from first-time donors to business owners planning legacy gifts.You can explore these resources at FaithFi.com/NCF or NCFgiving.com/nextgenresearch.The Power of AgencyOne key insight from NCF's research is the role of agency in healthy stewardship.“We define agency as the ability to act on the free will God gives us,” Cristin explained. “The more we step into that responsibility—making decisions, taking ownership—the more confident and joyful we become.”That means even those who inherit wealth should be encouraged to find their “Gen 1” opportunities—ways to take initiative, make decisions, and live out their calling to give.The Influence of Women in GenerosityAnother striking finding: women—especially mothers—play a major role in shaping generosity.“Seventy-two percent of millennials we surveyed said their mothers were the biggest influence on their giving,” Cristin shared.Yet, the research also revealed that many women feel unheard in family wealth decisions. The next step, Cristin says, is ensuring their voices are part of the conversation.“This is the time to incorporate women's perspectives in giving and wealth transfer. Their influence is profound—and essential.”Passing Faith Along With FinancesAs this great wealth transfer unfolds, Cristin reminds us that what we pass on matters more than what we possess.“It's not just about money moving between generations,” she said. “It's about passing along faith, values, and purpose.”And that's a legacy that truly lasts.

Bryan Kohberger has just been ordered to pay for another part of the aftermath he created — this time, roughly $3,000 for two victims' urns, on top of the more than $30,000 restitution outlined in his agreement. On the surface, it feels like a moment of overdue accountability in a case where nothing has moved fast enough, clean enough, or confidently enough. But as always in the Kohberger saga… the fine print tells a very different story. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski dives into the judge's ruling — not just what it means for restitution, but what it quietly unlocks. Because the judge didn't just say “pay up.” He said Kohberger can get a job in prison or ask for donations to raise the money. Let that sink in. When the court says “donations,” that opens the door to an entire ecosystem of online supporters, fringe communities, contrarians, and high-profile-case obsessives who will absolutely try to send him money. And legally? They can. As long as it goes toward restitution. But here's the real problem: What happens once the restitution is paid off? That's where things get uncomfortable. Because any money that comes in after his debt is satisfied becomes fair game under prison regulations. Commissary. Comfort. Influence. Power. Even long-term financial positioning. And then there's the big, ugly question most people don't want to touch: Can he someday legally profit from his story? “Son of Sam” laws were gutted years ago. The restrictions people assume exist… often don't. Third-party deals, “creative packaging,” and legally gray revenue channels have helped other high-profile offenders monetize their notoriety. And with this ruling, Kohberger now has the first ingredient he needs — a pathway for money to flow toward him legally. Tony breaks down what's fair, what's dangerous, and what the system just opened the door to. Accountability is one thing. What comes after it? That's the part nobody's ready for. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #IdahoCase #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeSystem #CrimeAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #CrimeUpdates #CourtRulings Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Some Pike River mine families are still fighting for a corporate manslaughter law 15 years after the diaster that killed 29 men. The deaths lead to the creation of WorkSafe and the 2015 Health and Safety at Work Act, which passed with cross-party support. A Royal Commission of Inquiry found New Zealand's old safety laws lacked the teeth, and there were catastrophic failings in the mine company's systems, despite numerous warnings of a potential catastrophe. Now the government is changing the Health and Safety at Work Act to quote "cut through unnecessary red tape" holding businesses back. Nigel Hampton KC spoke to Lisa Owen.

Venison is arguably the perfect protein. It's lean, it's clean, readily available, and versatile. On this episode we talk about the standard ways to cook it, the fancy ways, and give you an inside look into a deer processor operation. Families today are more particular than ever about where their food comes from, this alone has led some people to take up hunting. We feel like you should not overlook the value and quality of a good venison meal.

Over a third of women could face poverty in retirement due to a growing gender gap in private pensions, according to a report from Scottish Widows, with women's finances being hit by caring responsibilities and career gaps. YouGov carried out the reseach for the Scottish Widows annual Women and Retirement Report, asking 4,000 women from across the UK about their pensions and retirement planning, as well as savings, investments and career breaks. Nuala McGovern talks to Lily Megson-Harvey, the Policy Director of retirement finance company My Pension Expert. A third of all rape trials in Wales and England last year were postponed at least once, often on the day of trial, according to a new report published by the charity Rape Crisis England and Wales. Ten years ago in 2015 the figure was one in 10. Their report, Living in Limbo, finds rape and sexual abuse survivors are being retraumatised by the criminal justice system. Nuala is joined by Maxime Rowson, the charity's Head of Policy and Public Affairs. Back in 1995 a call went out looking for women to take part in a landmark scientific study exploring the links between what we eat and our health. Thirty-five thousand middle-aged women signed up to be part of the UK Women's Cohort Study. It went on to look at the impact our diet can have on our risk of developing cancer and other chronic diseases, as well as other areas of women's health from our bones to the menopause. Professor Janet Cade from the University of Leeds joins Nuala to discuss what it was like launching the study 30 years ago and some of its key takeaways for women. Families are calling for a change in the law after they say their babies' dead bodies were kept inappropriately at a funeral director's home. The case highlights a lack of regulation in funeral services in England and Wales. Nuala speaks to Zoe Ward, one of the parents affected, who recently met with Victims Minister Alex Davies Jones to call for new laws, and to Zoe's MP, Mark Sewards. Harriet Lane's new novel, Other People's Fun, explores modern life and the lies we tell others – and ourselves – on social media. It follows an unlikely and uneasy friendship between the unnoticed Ruth and the Instagrammable Sookie. Harriet joins Nuala in the studio to discuss why female friendships and ‘everyday horror' has always intrigued her. Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths
