In today's episode, Justin and Lauren sit down for one of the most needed conversations of our generation—a raw, honest look at the spiritual and cultural war being waged against marriage, motherhood, and the family.   Everywhere you look, culture is telling women to run from the home, men to numb out, couples to separate, and families to fall apart. And we're watching the fruit of it in real time: loneliness, depression, exhaustion, and homes without order.   This episode is a call to come back.   Back to the true covenant of marriage. Back to the design God laid out. Back to the roles that protect, strengthen, and sanctify a family. Back to the ground where men can lead and women can flourish — not in competition, but in unity.   They talk about:

What happens when a business becomes inseparable from the family which runs it, and dares to bear its family influence through every strand of its existence?You get Ta'mini Lebanese Bakery… and while Nermin and Ali might be newcomers to running their stores, their family recipes date back several generations.Everyone who enjoys their cuisine owes it not just to the husband-wife duo, but to their family before them, bringing a new perspective on legacy in family business…Tune into ‘It Runs In The Family' for a look into a business with its family values not just written on the wall, but baked into every single recipe.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.

After the heartbreaking loss of his brother Robin to germ cell cancer at just 24, Toby Freeman and his family turned grief into action, founding a charity that has become the UK's leading voice for young people's cancer awareness.This candid conversation reveals the raw emotions behind the inception of the charity, detailing both the challenges and the triumphs that come with building a family-led mission in the wake of such profound loss.We've seldom heard such a moving story of a family bringing together their combined strengths to save lives, with familial love at the heart of every move they make…

In theory, ‘nothing is impossible' sounds awesome. But when it's about my life and my situation, and my struggle, and my mess? It feels a little harder to believe. In this message, we get real about what happens when that truth has to move from a verse we quote to something we actually cling to. Because our values are more than words on a wall. They're a compass that quietly steers us and a currency we spend in every moment.This message is all about what happens when faith gets personal and your values become a compass pointing back to Jesus. Because when your heart's aligned with Him, even the impossible starts to move.

Today, we have a guest who holds no punches and takes no prisoners—someone who's built his career and life on hard work, resilience, and straight talk.Joining us is Dennis Mark Interdonato, a New Jersey real estate expert, Army veteran, and former Drill Sergeant. With over 25 years of experience in home building, remodeling, and marketing, he's not just selling homes—he's helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives.But Dennis's story is about more than real estate. He's a bipolar depression warrior, choosing to face it head-on without medication. He's also an MC club rider, an advocate for community and charity, and a man who values family above all else—especially his five-year-old niece, Gemma Mae, who keeps him grounded.In today's conversation, we'll dive into: ✅ What every homebuyer and seller needs to know in today's market ✅ How military service and the MC world shaped Dennis's mindset ✅ Navigating mental health and resilience without medication ✅ The importance of community, charity, and family in business and lifeChapters00:00 Introduction to Dennis Mark Interdonato01:26 The Army Experience and Its Impact04:51 Transitioning from Army to Real Estate06:25 Misconceptions in Real Estate08:40 Rent Control: Pros and Cons10:44 The Impact of Property Taxes12:57 Effects of Taxes on Homeowners and Renters15:35 Current Real Estate Market Trends16:50 The Role of AI in Real Estate20:38 Family Values and Work Ethic24:04 The Influence of Family on Personal Growth25:17 The Joy of Family and Children28:06 Lessons from Dad: The Importance of Listening30:56 The Art of Listening in High-Stress Situations34:47 Navigating Mental Health Without Medication40:47 Finding Your Why: A Path to Healing45:21 Real Estate Insights: Choosing the Right Agent56:35 Closing Thoughts: Grit, Heart, and Unfiltered TruthFor listeners who want to connect with Dennis:

The temperature of public disagreement feels scorching—and that heat is seeping into our homes. We dig into what it means to hold strong convictions while still honoring people, then connect that idea to everyday parenting: how we talk with our kids, how we set boundaries without shaming, and how we handle it when we don't agree. From there, we pull back the curtain on the forces shaping our families—peer culture, dopamine-driven feeds, and convenience foods designed to hijack attention and appetite—and lay out a calmer path forward.Joined by our favorite nutrition scientist (and new dad) Matty Lansdown, now rebranded as The Real Weight Loss Coach, we walk through why root-cause health beats quick fixes. Matty talks GLP-1 medications with clear eyes—acknowledging potential benefits while naming real side effects and the risk of unresolved binge cycles—and then outlines an alternative: nervous system safety first, sleep and stress dialed in, ingredients-first meals, strength training for muscle and metabolism, and low-risk natural experiments that respect bioindividuality. Matty's core message is simple and radical: the body keeps the score, and lasting change begins when we feel safe enough to choose differently.We also take on the tricky question of teens and weight. Instead of aesthetic pressure, we focus on health markers, modeling, and the quiet power of the “ingredients household.” Device-free dinners, predictable rituals, and parent-led example set the tone even when teens detour. And throughout, we return to one big takeaway: honor family values, do less, do it better. Presence lowers cortisol, steadies cravings, and makes healthy choices feel possible in real life.CONNECT WITH US: Website: www.TheBrainyMoms.com Email: info@TheBrainyMoms.com Social Media: @TheBrainyMoms Our sponsor's website: www.LearningRx.comSandy's TikTok: @TheBrainTrainerLadyDr. Amy's brand new IG: @DrAmySaysGraceDr. Amy's website: www.AmyMoorePhD.com

What if your family's values could help you feel calmer, more connected, and less overwhelmed—especially when life feels chaotic? This week, I'm joined by Adriane Thompson, certified parenting coach and founder of Raising Kids with Purpose. Adriane helps parents understand the why behind their child's behavior and build a home culture rooted in connection. As a mom of three neurodivergent boys, Adriane knows firsthand how challenging it can be to stay grounded when emotions run high. She shares how defining her family's values—like safety and kindness—became an anchor point during meltdowns, transitions, and everyday stress. In this episode, Adriane walks us through:

We've all been there: standing at the crossroads of a parenting decision and wondering, am I making the wrong call? For many of us, the idea of letting our kids quit an activity feels like giving in—or worse, failing them. But what if the word “quit” is the problem in the first place?   In this episode, Leslie Randolph sits down with psychologist Dr. Emily Gordon to reframe what's really going on when kids want out of something. Together, they swap “quitting” for a new lens: detours, decisions, and opportunities to choose differently. The conversation is equal parts practical and freeing, with guiding questions parents can ask themselves and their kids to figure out whether an activity is helping or hurting, whether resistance is about the activity itself or just the transition into it, and how to know when it's time to stay the course, or turn down a new road.   They also talk about the deeper goal behind these decisions: raising confident teens who know how to check in with themselves, build resilience, and trust their own judgment. From family values to tween autonomy to the lifelong practice of self-confidence, this episode shows how even small parenting choices can strengthen the foundation for confident women in the future.   The takeaway? There's no universal “right” answer. There's only the right decision for you and your family, right now.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Letting Kids Quit: Why It Feels So Hard   03:02 Meet Dr. Emily Gordon   05:03 Reframing Quitting as Taking a Detour   07:18 A Framework for Making Parenting Decisions   12:07 Parental Pressure, Fear, and Self-Confidence   14:22 How to Help Adolescents Name Their Feelings   17:09 Anxiety, Transitions, and Building Resilience   20:03 Balancing Parental Control and Tween Autonomy   29:07 Weighing Benefits, Costs, and Family Values   31:08 Protecting the Parent-Child Relationship   34:48 Confidence, Resilience, and Growth  Connect with Dr. Emily Gordon: Website Instagram Connect With Leslie: Help Your Teen Cultivate Confidence Website Instagram Facebook Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

During the times of American legalized slavery, the relationship between Black parents and their children was fraught with fear, and entirely controlled by the heavy hand of their owners. In her book Neglected Stories: The Constitution and Family Values, Prof. Peggy Cooper Davis draws the connection between this past reality, and the present reality of Black families finding themselves under the control of the child welfare state, subject to the whims of oft-biased court systems and social workers. Welcome back to the EPPiC Broadcast! Today, Prof. Peggy Cooper Davis, Esq., Professor of Lawyering and Ethics Emeritus at NYU, is here with us to discuss her book's analysis of the analogous relationship between the historical slavery system and the current child welfare system - and the horrible impact both have had on Black parents and children.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ada Cuéllar — emergency physician, law student, and candidate for Texas's 15th Congressional District — to talk about why she's running, the values that drive her, and her vision for the Rio Grande Valley. We dive into her first 100 days plan, how her medical background shapes her approach to policymaking, and the pressing challenges our community faces in healthcare, education, and economic opportunity. We also ask the tough questions: why are there so many sick people in the Valley, and how do we hold elected leaders accountable once they're in office?#AdaCuellar, #RGV, #RioGrandeValley, #TexasPolitics, #RGVStrong, #HealthcareForAll, #EducationMatters, #RGVVoices, #SouthTexas, #CommunityFirst, #RGVHealth, #ValleyFuture, #LeadershipThatListens, #Accountability, #RGVChange, #FamilyValues, #RGVProgress, #YourVoiceMatters, #RGVUnited, #FromERtoCongress
