Pastor Rick joins us on this special episode to discuss Kids & Communion. We're hitting pause on our leader equip series to cast vision for a powerful upcoming moment in the life of our church—Family Worship Day on Sunday, May 25. When you hear “family worship,” maybe you think, “No kids classes.” But we want to reshape that thought into something far more exciting: “I'm thrilled to worship as the intergenerational family of God.” This day is for all of us—parents, kids, teens, grandparents, singles—everyone who makes up the family of God at The Hills Church. Family Worship Day isn't just a break from routine—it's a step into the kind of worship Jesus envisioned: whole families, across generations, gathered together in His name. Whether you're a parent or not, this day is for you—because we are one church family. Family Worship podcast with Patty Weaver Should my child take communion?

This Stories Sunday, we're taking a moment between series to name something beautiful God is doing in our midst: forming us more and more into an intergenerational whānau. Drawing from Joseph Hellerman's When the Church Was a Family and Jesus' redefinition of family in Mark 3, we explore the vision of church as a spiritual household — where we belong to one another across every age and stage. Alongside this reflection, we hear a collection of stories from within our community that show this vision coming to life in real and inspiring ways.
We always have more to learn as we find our own paths. Oftentimes, we forget that the experiences of those in generations older than ours can be valuable in finding our way. Moreover, we forget that we are an important source of guidance for the children and young people in our lives who are just starting out—and that they can teach us something too. Intergenerational learning is meaningful at every age, and it can bring you closer to your community and to God. We all benefit from intergenerational learning, but we sometimes need guidance on how to initiate it. Join us as we welcome Rev. Dr. Tanya Marie Eustace Campen and Dr. Faye Wilson as guests on the live recording of the Faith Talks podcast. We hope you will join us and invite a friend as they guide us on this learning journey. For background, Campen is an ordained deacon and the director of Intergenerational Discipleship for the Rio Texas Conference Office, and her specialization is in children's spirituality. Wilson is a writer, educator, and musician who has worked across the globe, and who co-authored the 2025 resource book Carrying Our Faith Forward for United Women in Faith. With so much to learn and so much to say, you will leave this conversation ready to listen and share wisdom with people at all points of their lives.

Today I'm joined by a fellow student from my Harvard days, Susan Lieu – a management consultant turned author, playwright, and performer. She joins us to explore how unhealed intergenerational trauma shapes how we lead, the choices we make in our careers, and our ability to live a life that's authentic to our values instead of focussed on survival and pleasing our families.

This week, Jake and Bob discuss intergenerational healing, taking into account recent pastoral advice from Bishops around the world. Intergenerational healing involves understanding how wounds and sins from previous generations can affect individuals in the present. Jake and Bob not only reflect on the Bishops' letters, which express concern regarding the practice of intergenerational healing, but also share personal experiences of miraculous healings that occurred after addressing generational issues in prayer. Key Points: The Church teaches that while individuals are not guilty for the sins of their ancestors, they can still be affected by the consequences of those sins Intergenerational healing involves understanding how the wounds and sins from previous generations can affect individuals in the present A genogram is a tool for mapping family history and identifying patterns of sin and dysfunction Baptism wipes away the guilt of sin but the effects of sin may still remain Healing your wounds and forgiving those who have hurt you can have a profound impact on the lives of your loved ones Resources: Spanish Letter (this letter is in Spanish and you will need to translate it) Please note: In this episode, Jake and Bob mention other letters in addition to the Spanish letter linked above. They were given access to an unreleased document from the USCCB that is currently unavailable to the public. We are unfortunately not able to link them here at this time.

Modernity is dying within and around us, and we need to face that death with courage and compassion. Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, author of Hospicing Modernity, joins us. Highlights include: How her mixed Indigenous and German heritage in Brazil exposed her to a complex mix of love and violence, deepening her understanding of how socialization and education can perpetuate harmful relationships; Why the ‘house of modernity', which is built on a foundation of humanity's separation from the rest of nature, is structured to ultimately fail; Why we need to ‘hospice modernity' both within and around us, without feeling overwhelmed or rushing for quick fixes, while making space for something much larger to emerge; Why we need to compost the ‘pedestal' sense of agency from modernity and its elevated sense of certainty and subject-object relationships and embrace a more intersubjective mycelial sense of agency; Why ‘outgrowing modernity' will require us to prepare for a ‘well-died death' and a greater sense of emotional sobriety, relational maturity, intellectual discernment, and interspecies and intergenerational responsibility. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript: https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/vanessa-andreotti OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.

In this episode, we sit down with Khalid El Khatib, the Chief Marketing Officer of Consumer Reports, one of America's most trusted and oldest consumer advocacy organizations. Khalid unpacks how he's transitioning Conaumer Reports from a “publisher” mindset to a platform strategy that emphasizes product-led growth, user-centric advocacy, and yes, the iconic lab testing (including a cat-hair-laden robotic vacuum test).One of the key takeaways here is how community can be a company's competitive moat, and how bringing in fresh digital tactics doesn't have to mean losing an 88-year legacy of credibility. Another recurring theme is the intergenerational aspect of CR's brand story - how do you engage a loyal but aging membership and a new crop of digitally native consumers at the same time? If you've ever wondered how to future-proof an institution while staying true to its roots, then this conversation is for you!Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: https://youtu.be/K-OrSj6ioiA

“The Power Of Authentic Harmony” Join me and my guest Dr. Pauline Crawford (www.corporateheartinternational.com), CEO of The International University of Entreprenology. Pauline is celebrated for her groundbreaking work in creating Authentic Harmony Cultures and Emerging Leaders who integrate the concept of a Joint Custody World into their strategies for growth enterprises. Advocating for inclusivity and synergy between men and women in leadership and team dynamics, her experience-backed methodology and the Gender Dynamics Intelligence (GDI©) framework, she empowers individuals to navigate relationships and organizational dynamics with emotional intelligence and authenticity. Summary In this engaging conversation, Blaine and Dr. Pauline Crawford explore the concept of a 'joint custody world' where men and women share responsibility for the planet. They discuss the importance of authentic harmony cultures, the value of differences, and how understanding these differences can lead to better collaboration and communication. The conversation emphasizes the need for intergenerational wisdom and the role of vulnerability in fostering connections. Ultimately, they highlight the importance of creating a better future for the next generations. Takeaways We are all interacting with aliens in our daily lives. The concept of joint custody applies to our shared responsibility for the planet. Saying goodbye to equality and embracing harmony is essential for progress. Differences among people are magical and should be celebrated, not feared. Authentic harmony cultures require understanding and appreciating differences. The future of business should focus on the heart and emotional intelligence. Intergenerational wisdom can bridge the gap between different age groups. Vulnerability is key to connecting with others and fostering understanding. Words can have different interpretations, leading to misunderstandings.

There are many factors that influence whether Mexican immigrants to the United States are able to achieve upward mobility. In his new book, “Dreams Achieved and Denied: Mexican Intergenerational Mobility,” Robert Courtney Smith shares research conducted over twenty years and involving nearly one hundred children of Mexican immigrants in New York City. He examines how being documented or not acts as a master status, and how that is expressed through choices about education, employment, social networks, expressions of masculinity, and romantic and familial relationships. Robert Courtney Smith is a Professor of Sociology, Immigration Studies and Public Affairs at the School of Public Affairs and in the Sociology Department at the Graduate Center at CUNY.
In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a recent TikTok trend that involves the promotion of intergenerational estrangement. The buzz language tied to this trend is “going no contact” - when young adult children (specifically Millennials and Gen Z) attempt to solve family issues by essentially ending the relationship and cutting ties with their parents. What many don't think about is how this is in direct violation of one of God's Ten Commandments. Episode Links Dr. White is in the midst of a series on the Ten Commandments at Mecklenburg Community Church (Meck) called “Ten,” and the installment on the fifth commandment is particularly relevant to today's conversation - the command to honor your parents. There are sadly so many who struggle following through with this commandment, feeling that their parents are deserving of anything but honor. But so often it's because people misunderstand the deeper significance of what it means to follow through with this command. You can find all the installments of this series at Church & Culture HERE. There are two other series that Dr. White delivered at Meck that are also very helpful if this is something that you are struggling with. The first is called “Father Figure” and explores the importance of fathers in our lives and in our world, how to fill father-shaped holes in your life, how to find healing from a dysfunctional father, and the real nature and dynamic of God as Father. The second is called “The Sins of the Fathers: Breaking Generational Patterns of Dysfunction,” with installments designed to help you process this pivotal dynamic that is so decisive to a healthy, whole life. What sparked this episode is an article written by Theara Coleman in The Week titled “'No contact': Family estrangement is on the rise for young people choosing peace.” She writes how people who would advocate for family estrangement are attempting to normalize this behavior in today's culture, hoping that "eliminating the stigma would allow ‘more people to get out of unhealthy family relationships without shame.'" In reality, this is merely an excuse to avoid the hard work of fighting to protect familial bonds. Clinical psychologist Joshua Coleman conducted a study on this in his book Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict. He believes that a lot of the issues stem from changed notions about what constitutes traumatic experiences. And David Brooks wrote an article in The New York Times titled “What's Ripping American Families Apart?” that is worth the time to read. His research shows how this trend of estrangement is much more pervasive in the United States than other countries around the world.

The delightful Nikki Giovanni died on Dec. 9. It is a joy and a solace to relisten to this beloved conversation she had with Krista in 2016 – to experience her signature mix of high seriousness, sweeping perspective, and insistent pleasure. Her words and her spirit feel, if anything, more necessary now. In the 1960s, she was a poet of the Black Arts Movement that nourished civil rights. She became a professor at Virginia Tech, where she called forth beauty and courage after the 2007 shooting there — a precursor to violence that has become all too familiar in American life in the intervening years. And she was an adored voice to a new generation — an enthusiastic elder to all — at home in her body and in the world, even while she saw and exulted in the beyond of this tumultuous age of her lifetime.Nikki Giovanni was a University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech. Some of her best known collections from which the readings in this show were taken include Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea, Black Feeling, Black Talk/Black Judgement, and The Collected Poetry of Nikki Giovanni. Her final publications include Make Me Rain: Poems & Prose and A Library.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.
