She says, "I haven't listened to all your back episodes, but can you address ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, as it pertains to adoption? I live in a state where the majority of children in foster care are Native Americans, and ICWA, the Indian Child Welfare Act, is confusing and divisive. At the end of the day, I just want the children I care for to be safe. I understand the reason for the law, but I hate when the comments on an ICWA story about adoption accuse foster care providers of kidnapping.Resources:Indian Child Welfare Law Center - ICWLC.orgChild Welfare Information Gateway - Info on ICWASupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

    The Marriage Contract You Never Saw (But Can't Escape), with Harvard Law Alum Aaron Thomas

    #582: They had it all. Six thriving children. A 40-year marriage. A household income of $200,000. Then in her 60s, she discovered a shocking truth: he had gambled away their entire retirement savings in penny stocks.  She had no access to their financial accounts during the marriage. After divorcing, she was left with nearly nothing. Today, she relies on her adult kids for support. Harvard-trained family law attorney Aaron Thomas joins us for a Valentine's Day discussion about prenuptial agreements — not just as divorce insurance, but as a framework for building stronger marriages. Thomas is a three-time winner of Atlanta's Best Divorce Attorney and a leading expert in family law. He's the founder of prenups.com and authored The Prenup Prescription. Thomas explains that every married couple already has a prenup by default: their state's laws. In 41 states, judges have broad discretion in dividing assets "equitably" — which might mean a 70-30 split rather than 50-50. The remaining nine states are community property states, where assets are typically split equally. But even in community property states, determining what qualifies as joint property can spark fierce debate. For example: if you entered marriage with $100,000 in a 401(k) and continued contributing during the marriage, how much belongs to you vs. the marriage? What about a home you owned before marriage, but your spouse helped pay the mortgage? To prevent financial surprises, Thomas recommends couples hold "annual shareholder meetings" to review finances together. He suggests creating three buckets — yours, mine and ours — with clear agreements about spending. For example, his prenup requires both spouses to approve joint account purchases over $500. Beyond asset division, prenups can include requirements like marriage counseling before filing for divorce, or mediation if custody disputes arise. While prenups can't determine child custody or support payments, they can establish frameworks for working through conflict. The biggest benefit, Thomas argues, isn't protecting yourself in case of divorce — it's creating clarity and communication during marriage. By having difficult conversations upfront about money, expectations and conflict resolution, couples build stronger foundations for lasting partnerships. Listen to this episode to hear our full conversation about how prenups can strengthen marriages, prevent costly court battles, and help couples align on money management from day one.

    The husband and children of Ruby Franke, the disgraced YouTube mom now serving time for child abuse, are breaking their silence in Devil in the Family, a new three-part Hulu documentary. The series, premiering February 27, gives a raw and emotional look at the unraveling of the Franke family as Kevin Franke and their children share their side of the story. A newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the series, showing Kevin Franke grappling with his role in what happened. He opens up about life inside their Utah home and the impact of allowing therapist Jodi Hildebrandt to move in—a decision that ultimately led to the severe mistreatment of his children. “It eats me alive,” Kevin says in the trailer, reflecting on his failure to intervene as the abuse escalated. The emotional confession highlights the deep regret and pain he now carries. Ruby Franke, known for her now-infamous 8 Passengers YouTube channel, was arrested in August 2023 alongside Hildebrandt after one of her malnourished children escaped and begged a neighbor for help. Authorities discovered shocking conditions, leading to charges of aggravated child abuse. Both women pleaded guilty and were sentenced to significant prison time. Throughout Devil in the Family, Kevin Franke details how Hildebrandt's influence over Ruby played a pivotal role in the family's downfall. Hildebrandt, who ran a controversial counseling organization called ConneXions, allegedly convinced Ruby to take extreme disciplinary measures, isolating the children and subjecting them to inhumane punishments. “I should have seen it. I should have stopped it,” Kevin admits in the series. His statements mark the first time he has spoken publicly about the case since his wife's conviction. The Franke children, who have largely stayed out of the public eye since their mother's arrest, also share their painful experiences in the documentary. Their testimonies reveal the emotional and physical toll of their mother's strict parenting and the manipulative tactics used by Hildebrandt. The docuseries aims to unpack how a once-celebrated family vlogger, who built a massive following by promoting strict parenting, became a convicted abuser. It also sheds light on the dangers of cult-like ideologies and the devastating impact they can have on families. Produced by ABC News Studios, Devil in the Family joins a growing list of true-crime documentaries exploring the dark side of family influencers. The series promises to be an eye-opening account of control, manipulation, and the long road to healing for those affected.

Kathleen Edelman joins us to discuss choosing the right words for your spouse.Kathleen Edelman is the author of “I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.” She is certified in biblical studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over thirty years coaching clients in communication.The Key to Healthy Communication in MarriageCommunication styles are the key to understanding one another. There's a big gray area between what we say and what our spouse hears. Each temperament speaks its own language, and we must apply it to become fluent in our spouse's language.Many marital conflicts appear to be about money, parenting, or household responsibilities, but at their core, they stem from miscommunication. Recognizing that your spouse's temperament affects how they express and receive information is the first step toward reducing misunderstandings.One of the biggest communication pitfalls is assumption—assuming that your spouse speaks and understands your language. That's not true. We each speak our own language and must become fluent in our spouse's language.Another common trap is operating out of our weaknesses rather than our strengths. Ask yourself: “What part did I play in this miscommunication?”“How can I choose differently to stay in my strengths?”Most miscommunication is not intentional, she emphasizes. Rather, it's a result of speaking different emotional and verbal languages.The Power of Words: Choosing to Build Up, Not Tear DownEphesians 4:29 reminds us:"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."Our words hold incredible power. They can either build up or tear down our spouse. Learning to communicate in a way that blesses rather than wounds is a game changer in marriage.Listening is a critical skill in communication, and there are three key practices for improving it:The Power of the Pause—Before responding, take a moment to reflect. Instead of reacting to what was said, focus on why it was said. Listening to Understand—Rather than formulating your response while your spouse is talking, actively listen to grasp their perspective. Responding, Not Reacting—Choose words carefully, ensuring they are constructive rather than defensive.We should desire that every word that comes out of our mouths be a gift to the person we speak to.Of course, it's also crucial to remember that communication is more than words—it includes body language, tone, and facial expressions. Our temperament even affects how we express ourselves nonverbally. Everything you do is motivated by the design God gave you. Understanding how our spouse interprets our nonverbal cues can help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.Understanding Temperaments in MarriageA significant takeaway from Kathleen's work is the importance of understanding temperaments—both our own and our spouse's. Kathleen's book includes an inventory to help couples identify their temperament, which can be a game changer in communication.Each temperament has specific needs that shape how they engage in communication:Yellows (Sanguine)—Need fun, people, and spontaneity. They may struggle with feeling restricted.Reds (Choleric)—Need goals, control, and results. They want to be part of decision-making.Blues (Melancholic)—Need security and order. They may be hesitant to spend money without planning.Greens (Phlegmatic)—Need balance and peace. They want to avoid conflict and seek compromise.When couples recognize these differences, it fosters empathy and prevents unnecessary frustration.Money is a significant source of marital conflict, but these disagreements often stem from temperament differences more than financial realities.Yellows love generosity but also crave financial security. They may struggle with balancing saving and spontaneous giving.Reds want financial goals and a clear plan for achieving them.Blues prioritize security and tend to be more cautious with money.Greens seek balance and prefer avoiding financial stress.Understanding why your spouse approaches money how they do can foster mutual respect and teamwork. Instead of seeing their perspective as frustrating, you can recognize it as their God-given design.Keeping Communication Strong Over the YearsAs years pass, spouses may drift apart if they stop investing in communication. That's why couples are encouraged to stay in dating mode:Remember why you fell in love. Remember when you were dating—you put your best of yourself forward. Keep doing that. Look for the best in your spouse. Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, celebrate their strengths. Avoid complacency. Once you become content, weaknesses start to show up. Then, instead of appreciating differences, you try to change your spouse.When couples continue dating and choose to love each other through words and deeds, their marriages stay strong.The ultimate goal is authenticity—becoming exactly who God designed you to be while learning to love your spouse for who they are. When you reach authenticity, you're free. You're not trying to be someone else or change your spouse. You're showing up as yourself, using words that honor God.The Bible contains over 120 verses about words, making it clear how we communicate matters. When we build up rather than tear down, we strengthen our marriage, our family, and our faith.By understanding how God designed us, learning to listen, and choosing words that build up, we can create marriages filled with grace, love, and true understanding.If you want to transform your marriage through better communication, consider picking up a copy of Kathleen's book, I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We have the opportunity to buy a home from my friend's father for $300,000, which is listed at $350,000.

    The husband and children of Ruby Franke, the disgraced YouTube mom now serving time for child abuse, are breaking their silence in Devil in the Family, a new three-part Hulu documentary. The series, premiering February 27, gives a raw and emotional look at the unraveling of the Franke family as Kevin Franke and their children share their side of the story. A newly released trailer offers a glimpse into the series, showing Kevin Franke grappling with his role in what happened. He opens up about life inside their Utah home and the impact of allowing therapist Jodi Hildebrandt to move in—a decision that ultimately led to the severe mistreatment of his children. “It eats me alive,” Kevin says in the trailer, reflecting on his failure to intervene as the abuse escalated. The emotional confession highlights the deep regret and pain he now carries. Ruby Franke, known for her now-infamous 8 Passengers YouTube channel, was arrested in August 2023 alongside Hildebrandt after one of her malnourished children escaped and begged a neighbor for help. Authorities discovered shocking conditions, leading to charges of aggravated child abuse. Both women pleaded guilty and were sentenced to significant prison time. Throughout Devil in the Family, Kevin Franke details how Hildebrandt's influence over Ruby played a pivotal role in the family's downfall. Hildebrandt, who ran a controversial counseling organization called ConneXions, allegedly convinced Ruby to take extreme disciplinary measures, isolating the children and subjecting them to inhumane punishments. “I should have seen it. I should have stopped it,” Kevin admits in the series. His statements mark the first time he has spoken publicly about the case since his wife's conviction. The Franke children, who have largely stayed out of the public eye since their mother's arrest, also share their painful experiences in the documentary. Their testimonies reveal the emotional and physical toll of their mother's strict parenting and the manipulative tactics used by Hildebrandt. The docuseries aims to unpack how a once-celebrated family vlogger, who built a massive following by promoting strict parenting, became a convicted abuser. It also sheds light on the dangers of cult-like ideologies and the devastating impact they can have on families. Produced by ABC News Studios, Devil in the Family joins a growing list of true-crime documentaries exploring the dark side of family influencers. The series promises to be an eye-opening account of control, manipulation, and the long road to healing for those affected. Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke streams exclusively on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ beginning February 27. #RubyFranke #TrueCrime #DevilInTheFamily #HuluDocumentary #FamilyDrama #ChildAbuseAwareness #8Passengers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Best In Wealth - Best Practices for Real People, Investments, Retirement Planning, Money Management, Wealth Building, Financi

    Did you know that you can pay someone to give you advice on what to bet on? They can look at historical data like rushing and passing yards, touchdowns, and more—but so can we. Honestly, historical data can only tell us so much. If you bet on a game, you're really making a lucky guess. Is it really so different with the stock market? When it comes to predictions—whether for the Super Bowl or the S&P 500—there's a lot of uncertainty. So, let's break down how predictions are made and whether or not they should guide our investment decisions. [bctt tweet="Predictions are everywhere—whether for the Super Bowl or the stock market. But how reliable are they? In episode 257 of Best in Wealth, we explore the dangers of betting on expert predictions and why diversification is key for your portfolio." username=""] Outline of This Episode [1:13] The Super Bowl: What you can bet on [2:30] Why are we trusting betting experts? [7:50] Expert predictions for 2025 [11:32] Reviewing predictions from 2024 [18:06] How do we build a portfolio? Expert predictions for 2025 Most of the top analysts—Oppenheimer, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank, and others—are bullish, predicting that the S&P 500 will rise in 2025. The consensus seems to suggest that the market will average a 10% return, which has been the long-term norm. Oppenheimer Asset Management stands out with an optimistic prediction of 18.4%, implying that 2025 could be a great year for the market. However, these predictions come with a significant caveat—the stock market, especially the S&P 500, is notoriously volatile. We've seen massive swings in the past, from a 38% drop in 2008 during the Great Recession to a 25% rise in 2024. BCA Research, on the other hand, predicts a 25.8% drop, highlighting just how different expert opinions can be. This stark difference—43% apart between two top analysts—raises an important question: if the experts can't agree, how reliable are their predictions? It's a reminder that while these predictions may be based on data, the unpredictability of the market remains ever-present. [bctt tweet="Experts predict the future, but how often are they right? In episode 257 of Best in Wealth, we dive into the unpredictability of stock market forecasts and share why building a diversified portfolio is your best bet for long-term success." username=""] Reviewing predictions from 2024 Did the experts hit the mark last year? The S&P 500 went up around 25% (with dividends) and 23.3% without dividends. Oppenheimer, the most bullish of the experts, predicted a modest 8% increase, but the market ended up being nearly three times better than that! Many other firms—Goldman Sachs, BMO, Bank of America—also predicted positive returns, but the actual outcome was far beyond their expectations. In a striking example, some analysts predicted that the S&P 500 would finish the year with negative returns—forecasts that couldn't have been further from reality. This discrepancy illustrates an important point: even the most well-educated and experienced analysts can be drastically wrong. It shows that predictions are based on what experts know at the time, but they can't account for the countless variables that influence market behavior throughout the year, such as political changes, economic developments, and unforeseen global events. How do financial stewards build a portfolio? The answer is diversification. Family stewards—those who manage wealth and invest for future generations—should focus on creating a well-rounded portfolio that can weather any storm. Rather than betting on predictions, diversify your investments across a wide range of asset classes: large-cap stocks, small-cap stocks, international investments, emerging markets, real estate, and bonds.
