Jessica Kirkness with the story of her grandparents, who both grew up profoundly deaf in a hearing world. (R)Jessica grew up in the outer suburbs with a big extended family, with her grandparents living right next door.Her grandparents, Melvyn and Phyllis, were affectionate, kind and wise and Jessica often spent more time after school in their house than her own.But their house was distinctly different.The doorbell never rang, the alarm clock never sounded, and the television was on but the audio was off.Melvyn and Phyllis were profoundly deaf, and they lived in two worlds - among the hearing, and within the deaf community which had its own language and way of doing things.Jessica grew up in that space between two worlds.She felt that her grandparents' lives were both extraordinary and ordinary, and that their deafness was so exquisitely misunderstood that every part of her felt summoned to translate.Jessica has recently written down the story of her life growing up between the two worlds of the hearing and the deaf, as a GODA, or a grandchild of deaf adults.The House with All the Lights On is published by Allen and Unwin.This episode of Conversations was produced by Nicola Harrison, Executive Producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores deafness, living with a disability, profound deafness, hearing loss, AUSLAN, language, sign language, CODA, grandparents, love, family, relationships, granddaughter, grandchildren, intergenerational families, mixed families, technology, deaf accent, lip reading, migrants, hearing world, accessibility, head injuries, meningitis, hospital, acquired disability, deaf gain, communication, music, translation.

Epigenetics is real. In other words, there's a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them. In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts.

What Makes a Family Business Last Across Generations Episode 125 of The Family Biz Show delivers one of the most grounded and insightful family business leadership stories in recent memory. Hosted by Michael Palumbos, a seasoned financial advisor for family business owners, this episode features Domenic Cortese of Cortese Construction Services—a second-generation leader actively transitioning a thriving company to the third generation. Through honest family business conversations, this episode explores the real mechanics behind longevity: trust, governance, wealth discipline, and intentional succession. These are not theoretical lessons. They are lived leadership legacy stories that show what it truly takes to move a family business to new generation leadership without breaking relationships or momentum. Immigrant Roots and the Foundation of Trust The Cortese story begins in the early 1950s when Domenic's father and uncle immigrated from Italy and built a construction company from nothing. Their partnership was rooted in deep family enterprise relationships, marked by absolute trust—even when conflict was present. Their dynamic illustrates a critical truth often discussed by any experienced family business advisor: trust does not require harmony, but it does require commitment. These early family enterprise stories laid the groundwork for a business that would survive multiple transitions. Yet, as Domenic explains, the same trust that fueled growth also created governance challenges—highlighting why family governance and trust must evolve as businesses grow. Succession Is About Choice, Not Obligation One of the most impactful family business conversations in the episode centers on Domenic's cousin, who never wanted to be in the business. Rather than forcing participation, Domenic sought outside guidance from a family business succession planning advisor, creating a dignified exit that preserved both family harmony and business health. This moment underscores why family business legacy planning is inseparable from personal fulfillment. A strong family business advisor understands that continuity fails when individuals feel trapped. Addressing family dynamics in succession early is one of the most effective forms of family business continuity planning. Architecting a Family Enterprise That Can Adapt When Domenic assumed leadership, he didn't simply inherit the business—he rebuilt it. By exiting seasonal concrete work and expanding into remodeling, he demonstrated thoughtful family business strategy rooted in core competencies. This approach to architecting a family enterprise allowed the company to maintain family enterprise momentum without reckless risk. Rather than chasing growth, Domenic focused on designing family business continuity, proving that sustainable scale comes from discipline. This mindset mirrors how sophisticated family business family office structures think about long-term enterprise value. Letting Go of Control to Build Real Leadership A defining theme in this episode is Domenic's decision to move away from founder-centric control. Learning to trust non-family leaders became essential to sustaining momentum in family business operations. Today, key non-family roles support quality, operations, and growth—demonstrating how trust in family business extends beyond bloodlines. This shift reflects best practices in family office explained frameworks, where governance systems protect culture while empowering professionals. Any family business family office advice worth following emphasizes this balance. Preparing the Family Business for the New Generation Now transitioning ownership to his three children, Domenic offers a real-world case study in multi-generational continuity. Equal ownership, clear expectations, and accountability—such as shared liability for company assets—reinforce mature family enterprise relationships. Domenic's focus on separating sibling roles from business roles directly addresses common family business trust issues. These intentional structures support family business continuity strategy and reduce emotional decision-making, a lesson any family business succession planning advisor would endorse. Wealth Discipline and the Family Office Mindset Throughout the episode, Michael Palumbos—speaking from his experience as a financial advisor for family business owners—highlights the importance of separating personal wealth from business dependency. Domenic's disciplined approach to family business wealth management, including real estate investing and gifting strategies, reflects a true family business family office mindset. This approach ensures founders can step back without fear, a cornerstone of effective family business wealth management advisor guidance and long-term family office legacy planning. Grandchildren, Values, and Legacy Beyond the Balance Sheet Looking ahead, Domenic emphasizes preparing grandchildren through earned responsibility, humility, and philanthropy. These practices reinforce legacy continuity planning and sustain family business momentum across generations. By introducing philanthropy early, the Cortese family uses values as a training ground for leadership—an often overlooked yet powerful aspect of family enterprise stories that truly last.   Why This Episode Matters Episode 125 stands out because it connects governance, wealth, and relationships into one cohesive narrative. It offers clarity on family business legacy planning, real insight into family enterprise relationships, and practical guidance from both a business owner and a trusted family business advisor perspective. For anyone navigating succession, governance, or wealth transitions, this episode explains—clearly and honestly—what makes a family business last across generations.

The fastest-rising force in Italian politics is Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia - a party with a direct genealogy from Mussolini's regime. Surging to prominence in recent years, it has waged a fierce culture war against the Left, polarised political debate around World War II, and even secured the largest vote share in Italy's 2022 general election. Eighty years after the fall of Mussolini, his heirs, and admirers are again on the brink of taking power. So how exactly has this situation come about? Mussolini's Grandchildren: Fascism in Contemporary Italy (Pluto Press, 2023) delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements - rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since the Second World War and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right. Fratelli d'Italia has retained its hegemony over fascist subcultures whilst embracing a raft of more pragmatic policy positions, fusing harsh Islamophobia and anti-communism with support for the European Union and NATO. As countervailing anti-fascist forces in Italian society wane, the far-right party's mission to redeem historical fascism, legitimize its political heirs, and shift the terrain of mainstream politics is proving alarmingly successful. David Broder is a historian of the Italian far-right. He is a regular contributor to the New Statesman and Internazionale, writing about Italian politics, as well as Europe editor for Jacobin. His writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, the Independent, New Left Review and Tribune. He is the author of The Rebirth of Italian Communism: Dissident Communists in Rome, 1943-44 and First They Took Rome: How the Populist Right Conquered Italy. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

What happens when retirement plans are suddenly replaced by bedtime routines, school drop-offs, and parenting kids after trauma? In this deeply moving episode, Allison sits down with Laura Brazan, host of the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren podcast, to talk about the unexpected realities of becoming a full-time caregiver later in life. Laura shares her personal journey of raising two grandchildren after a family crisis — and how sleepless nights, behavioral challenges, and profound grief ultimately led her to create the world's leading podcast for grandparents in this role. Together, Allison and Laura explore the emotional, financial, and relational shifts that come with stepping back into parenting after 50, especially when children have experienced trauma, neurodiversity, or instability.

This conversation also offers insight for parents who aren't grandparents, including how to support children being raised by grandparents, how to navigate uncomfortable but necessary conversations, and why talking openly about trauma and mental health matters for the next generation.

In this episode, we discuss: What it's really like to unexpectedly raise grandchildren Common challenges grandparents face: sleep deprivation, trauma behaviors, finances, and isolation How trauma impacts children's brains — and how healing happens over time Navigating parenting in a completely different generation The strain (and strengthening) of marriages when raising grandchildren How parents can support children in their community being raised by grandparents Why having hard conversations about mental health and family trauma matters Finding purpose, joy, and legacy in later-in-life parenting Connect with Laura Brazan: Website: grandparents-raising-grandchildren.org Instagram: @grandparentspodcast Facebook: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren  Click here to listen to the episode on YouTube  Wondering if your child is getting enough sleep?

The great John Maynard Keynes explained it a century ago. In his 1930 essay, "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren," Keynes predicted that the future would be defined by economic abundance rather than scarcity. But such a cornucopian future, Keynes warned, would create societies teetering perpetually on the brink of a nervous breakdown. Keynes' vision has been updated by Niskanen Center SVP Brink Lindsey in his new book, The Permanent Problem. Today's societies, the Thailand-based Lindsey observes, are all on the verge of nervous breakdowns triggered by economic prosperity rather than poverty. So the challenge today, he notes with his own Keynesian flourish, is transforming this mass plenty into mass human flourishing. This is a public episode.

1.4.26 | "God Doesn't Have Grandchildren" | Rev. Judah Williams by The Rock Church of Fort Myers

How Do We Shape Future Generations Well?   Nancy French returns to The Good Faith Podcast with host Curtis Chang for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about how grandparenting reshapes your view of hope, kids and screens, grief, and what's worth doing with the time you have—even is that just means "robbing a bank with a Barbie." This conversation isn't just for grandparents: it's for anyone mentoring, parenting, teaching, or influencing the next generation, with practical wisdom on choosing connection, naming loss honestly, and creating space for kids to grow "analog" and resilient. Nancy also explains why legacy and being remembered aren't the point—what matters is faithfully loving the people in front of you and passing on stability, courage, and hope that outlasts you.   02:05 - Why Did Nancy Choose a Year as Primary Caregiver To Her Grandpkids? 07:44 - No screens and the value of analog, imaginative play. 13:15 - Preserving Children's Natural Hope  14:26 - Navigating Difficult Topics with Children  17:14 - The Value of Letting Children Experience Loss  23:09 - Creativity and Storytelling with Grandchildren  25:51 - Introducing Real-World Conflicts in Play  29:19 - Grandparents as Links to Family Legacy  34:53 - George Eliot: The Value of Unremembered Acts  36:18 - Living with Cancer and Embracing the Present  42:30 - Grandparenting from a Distance  45:27 - Encouragement to Focus on fun, connection, and Presence Rather Than Legacy   Episode Companion: A Guide for Grandparents & All Those Influencing The Next Generation   Mentioned In This Episode: Demographic research: Grandchildren's spatial proximity to grandparents and intergenerational support in the United States Jennifer F.

Why do grandparents relate so differently to their grandchildren? Modern neuroscience, Chassidic thought, and Rabbi Jonathan Sacks converge on an ancient insight. In Parshat Vayechi, Yaakov blesses his grandchildren before his sons, teaching that Jewish continuity is not secured by survival alone, but by transmitting meaning, identity, and purpose across generations.

Life moves fast. One minute you're in the front seat of your child's life… and before you know it, you're on the sidelines watching them take the wheel. Between work, bills, pressure, and pace, it's easy to drift instead of lead. Ferris Bueller said it best: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” That's especially true when it comes to family. Wherever you are on the journey—diapers or diplomas—the guys unpack three things every dad must never back down from if he wants to lead well and leave a lasting legacy. As you look toward 2026, make these three commitments part of who you are as a father.

Every once in a while, I read a d'var Torah that takes my breath away—an interpretation that is original, creative, casts a new light on an old question, and does it so persuasively that I can no longer see any other way to read the text.Josh Foer is the founder of Sefaria, a free online digital library of Jewish texts. He is also the co-founder of Lehrhaus, a Jewish tavern and house of learning in Cambridge. He is also on the board of The Jim Joseph Foundation where he recently offered a new lens on Esau. According to Josh's stunning read, Esau was the first Jew who was not into Judaism. He would not be the last. He is the patron saint of many Esaus today.Esau's father was Isaac, his mother was Rebekah, he had family yichus, but he preferred to marry a “leggy Hittite,” in Josh's phrase. This reading of Esau offers us a lens for all our children and grandchildren who choose not to value or live out their Judaism. This chronic challenge has never been more acute.There are our children and grandchildren who opt out because they never saw the value in it. Because they were never wired to connect to Jewish life. Because they fell in love with and married a non-Jewish partner, and raising Jewish children is not their priority. Because they are alienated by Israel and the posture of their parents and Jewish institutions to support Israel in these polarized times.What do we do when our rising generation is not into it?Here Josh Foer offers his most sparkling insight. Why did Esau forgive Jacob? Why did Esau kiss Jacob? Josh's answer: Because Esau was deeply good with his own life. In the intervening twenty years, Esau had moved on. Esau was busy and happy living his own life as a patriarch of his own clan. Esau was not living a Jewish life. But he was living a very happy and fulfilled life.After the reconciliation, the Torah offers us the genealogy of Esau, page after page of Esau's descendants. Historically Jews never got Genesis 36. What is it in the Torah for? Why does the Torah bother to give us five pages of who begat whom in the unimportant story of Esau. Synagogues seldom to never dwell on the eye-glazing irrelevancy of Esau's generations. The classic Jewish voice on Esau's generations is that of Rashi, who dismisses it as so much sand that a person sifts through until they find the pearl, the thing that matters, the person that matters, the story of Joseph and his brothers.Josh Foer's brilliant read on Esau reminds us that Esau is doing just fine. We who do not see him are the poorer for his not being part of our life. If Josh is right, and if we ought not to lose a single soul, what are we to do about the many, many Esaus in our families today? If we love and accept them for who and what are, is that wisdom? Or is that giving up on the Jewish story? Do we have a choice to make here, and if so, what is that choice?

Only a few years ago, European elites were patting themselves on the back for fending off thetide of right-wing anti-system parties (often styled as populists). But recent polls in France,Germany and the United Kingdom show that that the far right is once again gaining traction,thanks in no small part centrist governments that have demoralized the population andlegitimized xenophobia.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Sue Goodman Sgt Joseph Anton WuestnerDad was inducted into the Army on June 18th, 1941. He was released over 4 years later on November, 25th, 1945. He completed his basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. He also trained in Louisiana. He then traveled to Hawaii and was transferred by ship to the battleground of New Guinea. Joseph Anton Wuestner was a Rifleman in the Infantry and fought both in New Guinea and Luzon in The Philippines. In The Philippines, he mentioned (in one of his letters to Mom) that he had been in continuous fighting for over 100 days. He witnessed horrific scenes and told Wayne that, in one battle, only he and another soldier survived. He and his fellow soldiers dealt with torrential rains, heat, disease(often transmitted by mosquitos,) and sometimes lack of food. One time, he had only a can of tuna to share with the men in his squad. Dad spent a month in the hospital in The Philippines. We are not sure why he was hospitalized. We do know that he had malaria while he was overseas and also came home with shrapnel in his back. In one of his letters to Mom, he said that he was supposed to receive a Purple Heart for his wounds, but evidently paperwork from overseas became jumbled or lost and he never received this award. When the war was over and Dad returned to the USA, he was in poor physical shape and spent several months recovering in a military hospital in Texas. Sergeant Joseph A. Wuestner is Honored with a stone commemorating his service in World War II in Veterans Tribute Park in St. Charles, MO. This was a gift to Mom from her Grandchildren and her Great Grandchildren.________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, and Monical’s PizzaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textHow do we effectively disciple the next generation in today's challenging cultural landscape? This question stands at the heart of our faith communities' future, and our conversation dives deep into practical answers with three ministry leaders who specialize in different age groups.The journey begins with understanding that faith formation starts remarkably early. Children absorb spiritual truths even as toddlers, creating a foundation that shapes their entire lives. Our children's ministry director explains why we can't afford to view children's ministry as mere childcare – these early years represent prime opportunities for establishing biblical foundations that last a lifetime.As young people transition through adolescence, their faith journey evolves from accepting what they've been taught to interpreting and owning beliefs for themselves. Our student ministry leader shares insights on helping teens navigate this critical period, developing their testimonies and learning to articulate their faith in an increasingly complex world.Perhaps most challenging is the young adult phase, where many drift from church involvement entirely. Our young adult ministry leader offers compelling strategies for connecting with this demographic through authentic relationships and practical discipleship that extends beyond church walls into everyday life.A powerful truth emerges throughout our discussion: "God has no grandchildren." Each person must develop their own relationship with Christ rather than inheriting it from parents or mentors. This principle shapes how we approach discipleship at every stage of development.The conversation yields practical wisdom for anyone wanting to invest in young lives: be relational before educational, invite them into your daily routines, lead by authentic example, and create safe environments where questions and doubts can be explored. Whether you're a parent, ministry leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of faith, these insights will equip you to make a lasting spiritual impact on the next generation.New episodes every Mondaywww.lifehousemot.cominfo@lifehousede.com Join us Sundays at 9 & 11 AM Intro music by Joey Blair

Grandparents are a gift from God—keepers of wisdom, love, and family history. Proverbs 17:6 reminds us that “Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Whether we grew up enjoying time with grandparents or carry the ache of being separated from them, God calls us to honor, treasure, and bless the generations before us. In your daily prayer and devotion, Lynette Kittle shares encouragement for grandparents who may feel overlooked or left out, and she reminds us of God’s faithfulness across every generation. Even when family relationships are strained, prayer, blessing, and forgiveness create space for healing and hope. Main Takeaways God designed grandparents to hold a place of honor within families. Grandparents pass on wisdom and faith that impact future generations. Even when relationships feel fractured, prayer is powerful in bringing restoration. Blessing others, even when it’s hard, reflects Christ’s love and keeps our hearts tender. Bible Verse References Proverbs 17:6 – Grandchildren are a crown to the aged. Psalm 119:90 – God’s faithfulness continues through all generations. 2 Timothy 1:5 – Faith passed down through generations. James 5:16 – The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Luke 6:28 – Bless those who mistreat you. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for encouragement rooted in God’s Word.

Ted PageTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Ted Page. Ted is a marketing executive with his own firm, as well the author of several books. In this episode we discuss his early days in advertising; working for McCann- Erickson, and what led him to start his own company called Captains of Industry. Next, we get into a couple of the books that he has written previously, including a collection of family stories, and a book about branding & marketing. Then we talk about his most recent book Good Grandpa: Stories From the Heart of Grandfatherhood. Along the way, we discover that he worked with a previous guest of my show, more than 30 years ago! We dive into the impact that his own grandfathers had on him growing up, and why he felt that it was important to be that figure in the lives of his own grandchildren. We touch on the book and some of the folks that he interviewed and some of the things that he learned during this process. Ted shares anecdotes about Monarch butterflies, City Slickers, 'The Number One Thing', and 'The Greatest Generation'. This book is a fantastic read, even if you may never be a grandparent. The book is worth the read just for life lessons and the engaging stories from his family's campground on Lake Willoughby in Vermont. Special thanks to previous guest and really good dude; Greg Payne of The Cool Grandpa Podcast for making this happen. 

The sermon emphasizes the crucial role of community in shaping both children and adults, advocating for careful selection of friends and environments to foster sanctification and avoid corruption. It explores the long-term implications of financial stewardship, urging parents to leave inheritances not only for their children but also for their grandchildren, safeguarding against inflation, medical expenses, and the IRS while prioritizing the transmission of Christian values, covenantal connections, and a culture of diligent work and financial prudence to ensure multi-generational faithfulness and prosperity.

Send us a textWhen a bizarre letter surfaced on the internet, Marc Headley immediately recognized the signature—"Trudy Hensley, Letter Writer." This wasn't just any Scientology recruitment attempt; it was written by Marc's own mother, who remains deeply entrenched in the organization while completely disconnected from her family.The letter itself is absurd enough: "Well done on purchasing a book in 1999!!!" it exclaims, attempting to recruit someone who bought a Scientology book 26 years ago (and who, as it turns out, has been deceased for years). But beneath this strange marketing failure lies a heartbreaking family story that exposes Scientology's ruthless policies on family separation.Marc and Claire walk us through Scientology's "central files" system—an elaborate tracking mechanism that, according to L. Ron Hubbard policy, can never be deleted. Once your information enters these files, you're tracked for life, and apparently beyond. The organization obsessively measures statistics like "letters out" and "letters in," believing that sheer volume of communication will inevitably lead to new recruits.Trudy's journey within Scientology included years in the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), Scientology's notorious labor camp, after fighting with a high-ranking Religious Technology Center representative. Marc shares a particularly painful memory of David Miscavige himself mocking his mother during a staff meeting, calling her "the dumbest bitch in all of the Sea Org." Despite this degrading treatment, she continues to volunteer for the organization while maintaining zero contact with her own grandchildren.This episode provides a rare window into how Scientology's disconnection policy tears families apart, and how the organization's bizarre recruitment practices continue unchanged despite their obvious ineffectiveness. For anyone who's ever wondered how cults maintain control over members even when they're being mistreated, this story offers powerful insights straight from those who lived it.Have you experienced similar cult recruitment tactics or family disconnection?
