In Episode 69, Amy Smith sits down with longtime foster and adoptive mom Crystal Dukes for a heartfelt conversation about the real purpose of foster care: reunification. Crystal shares her family's journey fostering more than 30 children, adopting through both private adoption and foster care, and developing deep, lasting relationships with biological families. This episode offers a candid, uplifting look at what it truly means to support reunification even when it’s challenging, emotional, and full of unknowns. What We Discuss • Why reunification is the primary goal of foster care • Crystal's early experiences as a new foster parent and the mindset shift she had to make • The story of two young brothers placed in her home and how their mother's gratitude changed everything • Navigating a Safe Haven baby placement and ultimately adopting her youngest son • Maintaining meaningful relationships with biological families long after reunification • The emotional complexity of children moving between homes • How foster families can cheerlead, support, and build trust with parents • A multi‑year case that transformed into a true village of caregivers • Advice for new or prospective foster parents • Why openness, compassion, and connection benefit everyone involved Key Takeaways • Foster care works best when caregivers approach it as a team effort with biological families. • Kids thrive when they can remain connected to parents, grandparents, and others who love them. • Reunification can be challenging but often leads to beautiful, long‑term relationships. • Supporting parents and honoring their role makes the experience healthier for children. • The more people loving a child, the better.

Transcript: Speaker: On today’s episode, we’ll be talking to a former foster adoptive mom about reunification. The entire goal of foster care is to reunify the kids in our home join us. Amy: Welcome to Fostering Conversations. I’m your host, Amy Smith. Today we have Crystal Dukes, who is a foster and adoptive mom, and we are so glad to chat with her today. Thanks for being here, Crystal. Crystal: Thank you so much for having me. Amy: So we wanna just start off by letting our audience know who you are. So tell us a little bit about yourself. my name’s Crystal Jewkes like Amy said, and,My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and we have four kids of our own. We’ve had about 30 kids in and out of our homes, many of which we’re still, in contact with in one way or another. and it’s been a while. we were foster parents for seven years. our older kids actually are adopted and that’s what put got us, interested in foster care is to it, to go that route. Okay. Yeah. So you guys had adopted domestically or internationally? Privately, essentially. And then did foster care Crystal: an agency here. Yep. Amy: Okay. Okay, cool. So you’ve experienced both situations of adoption. That’s awesome. That’s really neat. So today’s podcast, we wanna focus on reunification. So we’ll start with that. The goal of foster care is to reunify these kids, right? We want them to go home, but what has your experience been while working towards reunification with the kids that have come through your home? Crystal: I actually absolutely love this topic because, we have to go into it that way, or it’s, makes it so much harder. And for everyone. And that is the number one most important thing, whether you’re open to adopting or just fostering, that is absolutely so important to understand. especially anyone who’s listening who is just interested in foster care, that’s the biggest thing. but to be honest, we got into it to adopt Amy: Yeah, which a lot of families do. Crystal: To be honest,we were newbies. We didn’t really know what we were. Doing, and we wanted more kids and wanted to adopt more kids. And we thought that, foster care would be a good way to do that. And so we were quickly told, that’s not what this is for. and Amy: Right. I said, okay. I said, okay, we’ll see. Yeah. Crystal: and we got a call fairly quickly about a week after, and, And asked if we would take two little boys, and they were ages three and four and barely three. He had just barely turned three. And so really it was, they were quite young. And they came and dropped him off at our house with a can of seven up in their hands with nothing else. And, but they were fine. They were. Came in and we went to a baseball game of my son’s that night, and I just getting to know ’em and feeding them and, it seemed like a play date for them, I think at Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and then we started really figuring things out and, That was a really, it was a tough time because they were adorable little boys, but they were really hard little boys. However, that first week, When we were gonna have a quick meeting with the, their mom and she was gonna have a visit. I took them to the store and I said, okay, pick your mom’s favorite drink and then pick your mom’s favorite candy bar. And so they picked something pink andI’m like, they told me it was your favorite. And Amy: Yeah, exactly. Crystal: But the moment, I was a little nervous. I didn’t know what I was gonna see on the other side of the door, and we walked in and she immediately got up and gave me a hug and said, thank you so much for taking care of my babies. and we, so we had brought her little gifts and I had brought her all the pictures I had taken and I had, had ’em, made them a little book for her so that she had some pictures of what we did that week, whether it was going to get an ice cream cone at McDonald’s or playing in the backyard or whatever. And just so she could see that they were being taken care of. Amy: And she, to this day, 13, 14 years later, she still tells that story and she te still tells me how grateful she was. and it really did break the ice for us. Crystal: made me instantly love her Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and it made me instantly Amy: And humanize her that these really are her kids. Crystal: they’re her, kids. Yes. And humanize her and be a cheerleader for her. So from then on we were. We actually grew quite close the whole time. with good boundaries, we were all safe. She did have a pretty good support system, with her family. But it had gotten to the point where we can’t save you anymore. You’ve gotta, hurt a little bit so your kids are going to foster care. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: and so we had them for nine months. And during that nine month or six, in six months into the nine months, we got another call. And this one was for, a Safe Haven baby that it was the first in 25 years Amy: Yeah. That’s very Crystal: in the county. And so everyone was standing around going, we don’t know what to do. Amy: Right? Crystal: And so they knew I was after that and our caseworker called and said, there’s a baby that’s been dropped off. And Amy: Wow. Crystal: so we, it was the day after Christmas actually, Amy: Oh wow. Crystal: and we went and we picked him up and he was totally healthy and. Great. and we adopted him. So he stayed with us and we don’t really know anything about his parentage or anything, but, we’ve done the DNA stuff and nothing yet, but we’ll Amy: yeah. Wow, that’s interesting. Crystal: So these cute little boys that we had, they, they still view him as their little brother because he Amy: I love that. Yes, Crystal: they were there. So it was cute. Amy: adorable. Crystal: It was really cute when they were there, but, I was so grateful for that experience because we were in it to foster, to adopt and be done. And after the fact, it was a wonderful reunion. the day they were, in fact, actually. I think this week is their anniversary of going home and after nine months they were, they went home in March and that court day was really special and she was so grateful. Amy: By the end she was having Sunday dinner with us I love that. Crystal: and and to this day we still have girls’ nights and her sisters and her and me, we go out and have dinner. Amy: That’s so awesome. Crystal: We see the boys every once in a while, but they’re, they, one of them just graduated. The other one is getting ready to graduate from high school. And so it’s, it was a really hard and great experience and I learned so much from her and what, my part really was in being a foster parent. And so after it was all over and we were like. we’re not ready to be done because we still love you and you still love us, so we’re gonna, Amy: Keep going. Crystal: have some, at least some communication and contact. But after my husband and I were talking and we were like, are we done? And after and after we adopted the baby, my youngest, we thought maybe we’d be done. And we’re like, it was such an amazing. Miraculous experience to be a part of putting another family, supporting and helping put another family back together that we decided to stay. we kept going and we did a lot of crisis and respite from then on. But,it’s so weird how this timing has happened because. Just the other night. we had a set of twins that were, a few months older than my youngest and they came to us when they were two. So I had like triplets, Amy: Yeah. That sounds intense. Crystal: killed me. I’m not gonna lie. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: But to be honest, and here’s a plug for those that, are looking into this, is they’re like, this birth mother really needed you. Or, this, I don’t even, it seems wrong to even call them a birth mother. Their mom really needed you, to believe in her. She needed someone to believe in because they were in a placement where. It wasn’t necessarily a great match. And so they came to us for a summer before their parents got them back, and now they’re 14 years old and she has a third child and divorced. So she’s bi, she’s single with three kids, but she had moved away,someplace in the Midwest. And so I lost track of her, but when she was still here. they, I knew where they lived and would go to the grocery store and just buy a bag of popsicles and drop ’em off on my way home just to still support just a little bit. ’cause it, it was a struggle there. There’s a reason why kids are taken, because it was a struggle. She still needed some support. But, just recently, I found her just before Christmas. I found her. She’s in Amy: Oh, wow. Crystal: Arkansas. And so I had sent them all a outfit, and her an outfit. She texted me a couple nights ago and thanked me. So all this, it’s weird that all this is happening at the same time and doing this five. Amy: it’s fun though to remember the stories of the things that have happened. I just, I think, so I don’t, you probably don’t know this, but I also am a foster adoptive mom and have reunified kids, and I was the opposite. I was like, I’ll do foster care as long as they all go home. I didn’t all go home, so love them, but they didn’t all go home. but I just love the aspect and the thought process like that You are their support system. I am constantly telling people the reason why we have foster care and why kids get dropped off at all hours of the day at strangers’ homes is because they, their parent doesn’t have anybody. There is nobody safe or secure that those kids can go to. So CPS brings them to a stranger, a foster home. That is just mind boggling to Crystal: it it really is. Amy: Yeah. and I can’t get over it even though I’ve had so many kids come through my home and I’ve met many parents and reunified and adopted and all the things, but it’s just like these people don’t have anybody. And so that foster family can become somebody that supports Crystal: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. our, current situation is we are not, with work and other kids and growing up we just. We weren’t able to, continue to foster, but there was one that we kept renewing for. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: ’cause she came to our house when she was 18 months her first time, and then they went back to parents and then came back three months later and then went to a kinship home, and she just was failing to thrive. And she came back and,we were on track to act, to adopt her. So she’s a few months younger than our youngest. Amy: Okay. Crystal: And we went through, COVID the whole bit, and it just got to a point where parents weren’t, they’d be successful for a minute and then not. And Amy: which is very common. Crystal: yeah. And yet her parents love her. Her parents love her and she loves them, but she’s old enough now to just realize and , it got really difficult and, and, my kids saw the stress that was on me and the attention that was taken from them it was rough. And, the back and forth that foster kids go through when they’re visiting a parent for a weekend, then coming back. they can leave an angel and come back the devil, Amy: Yeah. Crystal: just, Amy: It’s a good way of putting it. Crystal: it’s because they’re just confused and it’s hard. and I just, it was one of those things that. We called on the higher power and was just like, we don’t really know what to do. And it was really quite miraculous how it turned out because in my mind I thought someone has to lose. Not everyone can win in this situation. either dad’s going to lose her forever, never see her again. Grandma, she’ll never see her grandma. She’ll lose her dad, or I’ll never see her again. And at this point, and in those formative years, she is quite bonded to me and our family. And she, to this day, it’s, she does Your home is home and there’s some other,another foster family involved as well. and she lives with grandma. But, But it was really miraculous how it turned out, and it did take some begging on my part to say, please let her live with her grandma. Amy: Wow, that’s unusual. Crystal: I promise you, I will. I promise you I will stay around. I just, I can’t sacrifice my own children at the moment. And that’s, that was the reality of it, as hard as that is for me to say. and so we all work together. it’s the team and her grandma and I are great friends and her dad and I are friends and with our family and Amy: it’s working, Crystal: it’s working pretty well and. There may be a time where she’s with us more, but right now it works. It works well. But at the time I was really, and even our caseworkers to this day are like, I cannot believe Amy: Yeah. That’s unusual. Crystal: when we were going, when we were going through it, they were like, this is the craziest case we’ve ever had. and even, and then I run into ’em now and they’re like, amazing. Amy: yeah. I love. Crystal: so grateful. Amy: Yes, absolutely. And I love that you said, like somebody had to lose, but ultimately they didn’t. Like everybody is getting to be a part of her life and you are getting to be with your family. The grandma’s getting to raise her, hopefully the dad is still being able to see her. that’s a win for everybody, which is incredible. I love that. Crystal: it really is. and sometimes that’s hard to accept because she’s gonna be. Most provided for, and in, in certain, in a certain situation. but that’s not all of it. There’s so much more to, there’s still some pretty hard days and, even though she’s older, there’s still hard days when she comes back Amy: Right. Crystal: from her dad’s and sometimes, we ha we have hard conversations and. Amy: Yeah. Crystal: she starts to understand stuff and it’s helpful, but, I’m forever grateful that we’re all friends now. It wasn’t always like that. I, I, used to be the devil to them, Amy: Crystal: but we all, they’re, they are, very thankful. That, that we’re still around, and so it’s working well. Amy: yeah. I think it’s really important to realize, if prospective foster parents are listening that like you say, sure, maybe I can provide a nicer house and maybe I can feed them whatever the heck they Crystal: Paper, Amy: of. Yes. Pay Crystal: all stuff. Amy: Yes. Yes, exactly. But that’s not everything. Part of a lot of it is that they deserve and they want to be with their mom and dad or with their grandma, whoever they can be with. But I’ve seen that with my adopted kids. We have a really good relationship with one of our bio moms and. My daughter’s five and she will sometimes say, why can’t I live with mama so-and-so?and I’m just like, yeah, I’m so sorry. And she’s doing great now, if the circumstances were different, they’d be different, but they weren’t back then. And kids want to be with those biological ties, want to be with those people that they grew up with and look like and love. And I think that’s really, can be really hard to understand as a foster family because we think, I have this, and this to offer them. Crystal: We can never offer them that biology or that instinctual innate bonding love. Amy: Yes, we can love the heck out of ’em, but it’s different. Crystal: Yeah, and I’m really grateful that I had. Adopted kids with very healthy, relationships with biological mothers and fathers and families, we’re actually quite close. And so it helped me understand that a little bit sooner, I think. As long as they’re healthy and the child is safe, they’re, I promise you, it’s worth it. It’s worth hanging onto that relationship. It’s never worth. Cutting it off because it will come back sometime. It might even be in adulthood, but it will come back and it will be a big issue. And this way she knows we’re all transparent. She knows, I’ll ask her about her dad and how her visit was, she could tell me, things like that. So yeah, it’s. Amy: better place for kids to have, in their families to be able to say, I miss Mama some, whoever, and I miss this person. And for us parents to say. It’s okay. Like I’m sorry, you do deserve to get to be with them, but because of life you don’t like, I would rather our kids be able to say those things than to, go into adulthood and find them selves in a not healthy situation, So I think we can provide that safety to our adoptive children. And I have an adopted child who we don’t have a relationship. The mom completely fell off and. I don’t know. Like I reach out every few months in hopes that I’ll get a response, but I don’t, And so that happens too. And it’s unfortunate, but that’s how it is. Crystal: And I think it’s also important to say that doesn’t mean the birth parent doesn’t love their kid. they’ve probably come to a reality that they’re not Amy: In a good place. Crystal: a good place and they don’t wanna mess things up or bother anything. and that’s how one of the, our birth mothers are, is they just don’t wanna, mess things up. And so they don’t, and it’s fine, but we still buy Christmas presents for. From her and, we still do her shopping and we, little things like that. and it’s also interesting because now that, now that, she’s older, our foster child is older, and, for all intents and purposes at this point, we’re just great family friends on the, on paper. But she views me as mom and I. That’s great and she also talks about her other mom, so Amy: Which is great. some kids do have multiple moms, multiple dads, and that’s okay. Crystal: And there was a point where, we really did need some help. And so we’ve, we had another foster family and that other foster family and us were best of friends. And it, this has really turned into a village and she knows, the other foster mom and I, we both go to parent teacher conference and we both, I don’t know how many of you have experienced this who are foster parents, but food always seems to be an issue. And they are hoarding food and always wanting food and always checking to make sure there is food. And so I first thing out of her mouth when I pick her up is, what are we having for dinner? What’s for dinner? First thing, and then first thing is she walks in the house, is opens the fridge or opens the pantry. And so it was actually starting to drive me crazy and that’s my problem. But so did, Amy: I feel that, Crystal: I did want her to understand something and I said, there were some times, that your dad didn’t have food. Or your mom didn’t have food and you suffered for it. And so psychologically you suffer from that a little bit. So I’m telling you this, not because I’m telling you not to open the fridge, but I’m telling you that they have some psychological stuff there. that happens. And so we do have those hard conversations and I always make sure I tell her, your parents, love you. They’ve always loved you, but at times they didn’t have food to feed themselves and couldn’t feed you. And so it’s affected you that way. And, making sure that they always know that their, parents love them is really important. Amy: Yeah, I agree with that. That’s awesome. these podcasts always go by really fast, but if there was anything that you could. Advise or recommend to anybody that’s considering foster care? What would be something that you would say that you’ve learned that you would’ve loved to know at the beginning or something like that? Crystal: With my experience, our experience, I wouldn’t trade any of it. we’ve learned so much. But number one is, as a foster parent, our job is to be the biggest cheerleader we can be for the parents to get their kids back if it’s possible. and if it’s not possible, you can still love them. You can still support him Amy: Yeah. And hopefully have a relationship if that Crystal: and have a relationship. Absolutely. the other thing, if you’re new into foster care or if you are, seeking something, it’s okay. We were to, and we were blessed with the miracle and,the crazy thing the week that. We were called about our son, being a safe haven baby. Those of you who aren’t quite sure, that means that he was dropped off at the hospital, no questions asked, walked in, left at the emergency, and walked out. There were two babies in Texas that were found in the trash can that same week, but thankfully they were, being, the dogs were being walked and found them before they died. Amy: Oh wow. Crystal: So they did live, Amy: Yeah. Crystal: but just thinking about that and thinking that could have been my son, just, I can’t even, I can’t even think about that. The other thing is about that particular situation. I remember I had taken him to the doctor just as a baby checkup and and. I loved our doctor. Great. Raised all my kids. And, he said, I remember him saying, how do they, how do people do that? How do I can’t believe birth mother or, mothers would do that? And I immediately said, thank goodness they did. Amy: Yes, I Crystal: Thank goodness they did. Amy: And I, he immediately realized what he had said. And, Yeah. Yeah. Crystal: so that kinda stuff goes through foster care as well. and to the, families out there who maybe have had kids go to foster care, this, it is a safe place. Hopefully, hopefully, you can trust it and,and not everybody’s perfect by any means, but, the goal should be getting him back. No matter how much you love them, and if you really love them, do that and keep a connection with them. The more people that love a kid, the better, and I learned that through adoption. There’s no reason to cut off birth. Mothers who place their babies for adoption is the more people that love somebody, the better that person is, Amy: Yeah. I totally agree. Yeah. thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your passion for reunification. I also have a passion for reunification. and I agree. It’s such an experience to get to. Stay connected with those kids that have been with you and to also see those parents succeed. I think that’s pretty incredible to get to see a parent in their lowest of lows and then do everything they can to get their kid back and get their kid back. Like what an awesome thing to get to be a part of as a foster family. so yes. So thank you so much for sharing your time and experience with us, and we Crystal: My pleasure. Amy: it. Crystal: My pleasure. Thank you so much for having me. Amy: Yes. Thanks for joining us for fostering Conversations. To learn more about foster care, go to www.utahfostercare.org.

The facilitator for this meeting will be LeDon: ledonb@outlook.com. My review Kristin Hannah is a master of emotional storytelling, creating vivid characters whose hope, grit, and resilience pull readers in and refuse to let go. Her novels center on strong women who endure loss, fight for meaning, and find the courage to prevail. With more than twenty-four bestselling novels, Hannah has earned her reputation, and The Things We Do for Love (DB116672) stands as one of her most powerful books. The story follows Angie Malone, newly divorced and emotionally adrift, who returns to her hometown searching for refuge and purpose. As she works to rescue her family's failing restaurant, Angie carries a deeper, private grief: her lifelong dream of motherhood, which now seems forever out of reach. Lauren is seventeen and growing up far too fast in a hard scrabble life  shaped by neglect and instability. Her mother can't, or won't, provide the care she needs, so Lauren leans on grit and ambition instead. She plans to graduate at the top of her class, earn a full college scholarship, and build a secure future with her longtime boyfriend, David. Then everything begins to unravel. The rent hasn't been paid, eviction looms, and just as Lauren turns to her job for help, she learns her position has been eliminated. Desperate for work, Lauren applies at the DeSaria family restaurant. Angie senses promise in her and offers her a job. Lauren quickly proves herself hardworking and dependable, and a quiet bond begins to form. Angie, who longs to be a mother, and Lauren, who craves guidance and affection, find in each other what they have both been missing. Angie takes quiet joy in the small ways she helps Lauren, realizing these are the very things she once imagined doing for a daughter of her own. For Lauren, Angie's steady care feels like the maternal love she has always wanted. What begins as kindness deepens into a bond that becomes profoundly meaningful to them both. Then everything changes. Angie and Lauren are forced into a devastating Sophie's Choice, one with no good outcomes, only lasting consequences. A single decision has the power to scar both of their lives forever. Through insight and deeply believable dialogue, Kristin Hannah breathes life into Angie and Lauren on every page. The result is a powerful, moving, and unforgettable novel. You will love Mama, I guarantee it.

Friendship is something many of us deeply desire—but still struggle to experience in a meaningful way. In this episode, we continue the conversation on building healthy, life-giving friendships by exploring some of the mindsets that quietly sabotage connection. One of the biggest obstacles? Perfectionism. When we feel like we need to have the perfect home, the perfect life, or the perfect kids before letting people get close to us, we unintentionally block the very vulnerability that real friendship requires. In this episode, we talk about how letting people see the real you—the messy, imperfect parts—actually creates deeper connection. We also dive into the danger of comparison, why it suffocates friendships, and how shifting your mindset can transform the way you relate to others. Finally, we explore how to move conversations beyond small talk so friendships can grow into something deeper and more meaningful. If you've been longing for more authentic connection in your life, this episode will encourage you with practical ways to begin building it. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Killer opportunity to discuss a whole genre and scene of music beloved by the brothers??  You betcha.  Come with us down a joyful road as we revisit, what many would say, is the best "christian rock" album ever created -- by a rebellious, southern California bunch that knew what they were doing, and pieced together something most who followed this genre of music had simply never heard before.  Regardless of the fact that most fans of The Verve, Curve and The Choir had.  But who's counting.  Let us revive, let us remember, and let us discuss the ups and downs of the christian music scene...breaking up with girlfriends...staying in tents in rural Illinois...and other influential bands such as Skullhead, Mama's Head Trip, The Shooks, The Favazza Brothers, and Faith +1.  Just to name a few.  Lastly, we make our plea for the Wings to make the effing playoffs.  Please.  Lord. Enjoy part one!!

His ability to paint mental pictures has been compared to Raymond Carver, Flannery O'Connor, and even Norman Rockwell. His laid back, conversational singing style has been likened to Don Williams, Guy Clark, and John Denver. So, when the easy softness of this southern baritone delivers these lyrical short stories, it's no wonder that both his peers and journalists alike call Daryl Mosley a “songwriter's songwriter.”Daryl writes and sings about life as he knows it: small towns, rural churches, salt-of-the-earth people, family, and faith. He leans heavily on songs about the victories and challenges of everyday people because these are HIS people. For over three decades, the combination of these exquisitely crafted songs along with his understated delivery and gentle personality has been engaging music lovers in a way that few artists can. Mosley still resides in his hometown of Waverly, Tennessee - the small, Mayberry Esque hamlet just west of Nashville where he grew up. The experiences of life, work, faith, and love that resonate so strongly in this community are the very foundation of his songwriting. And when he sings those songs, the characters and scenes come alive as if they were sitting on the front porch with you. Music legends from Tom T. Hall and Ronnie Milsap to Bill Gaither and Rodney Crowell have praised both Mosley's singing prowess and his gifts as a songwriter. Mosley's songsmith abilities have led to him being honored four times as the industry's Songwriter of the Year, twenty #1 songs, and three Song of the Year awards. Other artists who have recorded his songs include - Lynn Anderson, Bobby Osborne, High Road, the Booth Brothers, and The Grascals. Songwriting legend Jerry Salley says Mosley is “easily one of the finest songwriters in our business.” Throughout the 1990s, Mosley toured as the lead vocalist with the much-celebrated Bluegrass group New Tradition. In 2001, he joined the legendary Osborne Brothers. In 2010, he formed the band The Farm Hands who quickly became one of the most awarded acts in Bluegrass. This marriage has taken him to the pinnacle of musical stages and venues ranging from the Grand Ole Opry to the legendary Bluebird Cafe to even West Point Military Academy. In 2020, Mosley stepped more directly into the spotlight with the release of his first solo project for Pinecastle Records -'The Secret of Life.' It was a collection of eleven songs written or co-written by Mosley that were both plain spoken and lyrically clever. The album reached #1 on the Roots Music Report as did the first single, “A Few Years Ago” and the spiritual “Do What The Good Book Says.” Critically acclaimed by both the media and industry peers, The Secret Of Life was praised by American Songwriter Magazine, SiriusXM, Bluegrass Today, Country Music People, Bluegrass Unlimited, MusicRow, Country Standard Time, No Depression, and more. The November 2021 release of Mosley's 'Small Town Dreamer' album featured a dozen original songs including three that reached the #1 spot on the charts; the nostalgic “Transistor Radio," the heart tugging “Mama's Bible” and the spiritual “He's With Me" that hit #1 on Cashbox Magazine's chart.In July of 2023, Daryl released his third solo album, 'A Life Well Lived.' The acclaimed album reached the top of the album charts as well as garnering three #1 songs: "Mayberry State of Mind" (along with the hit music video), as well as gospel chart toppers "The Bible in the Drawer" and "Big God". In 2024, Mosley released his current album, "Long Days & Short Stories."  The project is his fourth for Pinecastle Records and features the #1 songs "Me and Mr. Howard," "When the Good Old Days Were New," and "When I Can't Reach Up." Daryl Mosley remains a towering figure in roots music—crafting songs that feel both ancient and immediate, offering comfort and connection through his heartfelt stories and songs shaped by Southern tradition, Christian faith, and small‑town warmth.

Jurij Spitzen je Ljubljančan že dve leti in pol. Sin Rusa in Ukrajinke, ki je živel razpet med domovinama staršev, je bil že pred začetkom ruske agresije odločen, da se bo preselil nekam v Evropo, vojna vihra je namero samo pospešila. Z ženo Ukrajinko in hčerko Slovenije niso izbrali naključno, na prihod v našo deželo se je Jurij pripravljal tudi z učenjem slovenščine. In to ob pomoči risank in filmov. Znanje našega jezika mu pride zelo prav, saj je lastnik družinske pekarnice »Mama peče«, mama je njegova žena, pekovka in slaščičarka, on, pravnik po izobrazbi, pa je njen asistent in prodajalec. Čeprav si želi, da bi v Ukrajini čim prej zavladal mir, pa ne čaka na vrnitev, ampak bi rad v Sloveniji ostal za vedno.

Do friendships feel harder than they should? Do you want deeper connection… but always feel too tired, too busy, or too overwhelmed to try? Do you find yourself automatically saying no—even when part of you is longing for community? In today's episode, we continue the conversation about friendship by talking about one of the biggest barriers to real connection: our resistance to saying yes. Not because we don't care. Not because we don't want friends. But because comfort, fear, and routine quietly start making our decisions for us. We talk about: • Why adult friendships require intentional effort • How comfort culture and “protect your peace” thinking can keep us isolated • Why your default might be “no” without you realizing it • The difference between healthy boundaries and self-protection • Why deep friendships always cost something • How convenience is often the enemy of connection • What it really looks like to build community over time This episode will help you: • Recognize where you've been closing yourself off without meaning to • Understand why discomfort is part of building real relationships • Learn how to say yes without burning out • Stop waiting to be chosen and start participating • Take small, realistic steps toward deeper friendships If you've been praying for community but avoiding opportunities for it… this episode will gently challenge you. You don't need a perfect schedule. You don't need a perfect house. You don't need to feel “ready.” Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is say yes. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Mama, join us for this in-depth look at the message of the apostle John. This is such a great way to begin the Lent season!“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1-5✨ A Sweet Invitation for You, Mama ✨ Sweet sister, in 2026 the Lord is inviting us into something more: deeper connection, more growth, loving heart-to-heart community.

Het zou volgens de voorspellingen een spannende race tussen Labour en Reform worden, de tussentijdse verkiezingen voor de Lagerhuiszetel van Gorton and Denton, vlakbij Manchester. Maar Hannah Spencer, loodgieter en gemeenteraadslid, won de zetel overtuigend namens de Groenen. Wat betekent deze zege voor de toekomst van Labour, Reform, het tweepartijenstelsel en natuurlijk voor de Groenen zelf? Ook in deze aflevering Keir Starmer probeert weer te laveren tussen zijn wens om Trump tevreden houden en aan de andere kant zijn wens om bijvoorbeeld niet Iran te bombarderen. En: Vergeet Hollywood, Londen wordt de filmhoofdstad van de Westerse wereld. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering. Over Lia Lia van Bekhoven is correspondent Verenigd Koninkrijk voor onder andere BNR Nieuwsradio, VRT, Knack en Elsevier en is regelmatig in talkshows te zien als duider van het nieuws uit het VK.

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (3.2) We have another special guest calling in — actress, comedian and singer Vicki Lawrence, most famous for the song “The Night the Light Went Out in Georgia” and TV sitcoms “The Carol Burnett Show” and “Mama’s Family.” She’s got a show coming up in Palm Springs on March 8 at The Plaza Theatre. After such stellar guests as Shaun Cassidy and Vicki Lawrence, Tim now expects Bellio to book Harry Styles next week, following the news his concert in Manchester is streaming live on Netflix. Fun fact, Mark Thompson used to pal around with Chris Isaak up in San Francisco — unfortunately, Mark’s lost his number. Today at LAX a plane traveling to New Jersey had to turn around shortly after takeoff due to an engine fire! The pilot had to dump the fuel over Orange County before the emergency landing.

Mama, with just hours left to live, Jesus takes the time to pray for His disciples and all of those who will believe in Him. Isn't it amazing and humbling to know that His heart is so strong for unity and closeness within His Kingdom? It's so important to remain steadfast and connected to other believers because this life is hard!“I'm praying not only for them but also for those who will believe in me because of them and their witness about me. The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, so they might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me. The same glory you gave me, I gave them, so they'll be as unified and together as we are—I in them and you in me. Then they'll be mature in this oneness, and give the godless world evidence that you've sent me and loved them in the same way you've loved me.” John 17:20-23 (The Message).✨ A Sweet Invitation for You, Mama ✨ Sweet sister, in 2026 the Lord is inviting us into something more: deeper connection, more growth, loving heart-to-heart community. Come go deeper with us inside the Radiant Mom Sisterhood.

Why sustainable motherhood sometimes requires stepping back If you're an overwhelmed mom trying to build peaceful routines while still feeling stretched thin… this episode is an honest conversation about sustainability. Because here's the truth: You can't teach peace while running on pressure. You can't preach margin while living in burnout. And you can't build something meaningful without pausing to evaluate what's working. In this episode of Mama's Tired, I'm sharing why I'm pressing pause on the podcast for a season -  and what this shift means moving forward. This isn't a goodbye. It's a “I'll see you next season.”. And if you're a busy mom feeling like something in your life needs space to breathe, this conversation will resonate deeply. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why creative work needs sustainability How burnout can hide behind productivity Recognizing when something feels misaligned The pressure moms put on themselves to “keep going” Why stepping back can be strategic — not a failure Building a life that reflects the rhythms you teach For the Mom Who Feels Stretched Thin If you've been: Ending each day exhausted Feeling behind no matter how organized you are Trying to simplify your home but still overwhelmed Carrying the invisible mental load of motherhood Wondering if you need a reset This episode offers permission. Permission to pause. Permission to reassess. Permission to build sustainability into your life — not just talk about it. The Big Reminder Peace isn't built by pushing harder. Sometimes it's built by stepping back. And sustainable motherhood requires rhythms that protect your energy — not drain it.

Singer-songwriter Carlos Alberto Fajardo joins Vigilantes Radio Live to talk about his heartfelt debut single “Thank You Mama.”

Do you want deeper friendships… but don't know how to get there? Do you long for real connection, but keep feeling disappointed? Do you feel like everyone else already has their people—and you somehow missed the window? Maybe you've been hurt before. Maybe you're tired of trying. Maybe you don't even know what healthy friendship is supposed to look like anymore. In today's episode, we continue the conversation about building a village by talking specifically about friendship—why it's so hard in adulthood, what gets in the way, and how God actually designed us to walk with one another. This episode is for the woman who: • Feels lonely even though she's surrounded by people • Wants meaningful friendships but keeps settling for surface-level connection • Has been burned by past relationships and feels guarded • Doesn't know how to move from acquaintance to true friend • Is craving community but feels stuck We talk about: • Why adult friendships feel harder than they used to • The difference between convenience-based friendships and covenant-style friendships • How fear of rejection keeps us from reaching out • Why waiting to be chosen leaves us isolated • The role vulnerability plays in building trust • How to pursue friendship without desperation or comparison • What healthy, God-centered friendship actually looks like This episode will help you: • Stop believing you're the only one who feels this way • Understand why friendship takes time and intention • Learn how to take the first step toward connection • Release the pressure for instant intimacy • Begin building relationships that are rooted in truth, not performance If you've been praying for deeper friendships but don't know where to begin, this episode will give you clarity, courage, and a new way forward. You were never meant to walk alone. But friendship doesn't happen by accident. It's built—with humility, courage, and faith. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

In this conversation, Britten welcomes TMT 2025 alums Christine Gutierrez, Kate Eastridge, and Katrine Waugh to reflect on what it was like to ride the emotional waves of The Magician's Table through the lens of the Prince of Cups. Together, they share how they found the container, what they brought to practice, and what unfolded as they entered initiation weekend, navigated vulnerability, strengthened self-trust, and emerged with deeper confidence in their magic. This episode traces the arc of saying yes, being held, and carrying the medicine forward into the world.   Topics They Cover:  How each of them found The Magician's Table: from podcast serendipity to repeated returns to the sales page to the quiet build-up of the idea that they can be a part of this bigger thing What they brought to the container (mediumship, astrology, tarot) and how their practice evolved through consistent weekly readings and exchange The initiation weekend experience and what it felt like to enter a structured, intimate space that is designed to hold you The emotional rhythm of the container: nervousness, imposter feelings, surprise and delight, strengthening self-trust, and the feeling of time outside of time The power of structure and community: being witnessed, building integrity, honing skills, and learning to hold space for others  What it felt like to close the container and why they'd say yes again (and encourage others to honor the pull if they feel it) THE DOORS TO THE 2026 MAGICIAN'S TABLE ARE NOW OPEN!

LINKS: http://www.theluminousfield.co https://theluminousfield.beehiiv.com/   About Kate Eastridge: With more than twenty years working behind the scenes in film and television, Kate Eastridge built a career helping bring imagined worlds to life. Before she ever stepped onto a set, she was captivated by stories of reinvention and reckoning blended with the farcical rhythm and profound questions of an existential comedy.   Drawn to stories that bend time such as Groundhog Day and Palm Springs or the sudden presence of an omniscient voice narrating one's life in Stranger Than Fiction.  Kate seeks stories about awareness. About how one's perceptions might change when we shine a light on the cycle of what's happening right now.   Kate's original fascination with astrology and use of tarot as tools for creative writing and character development led her to explore how tools of divination to prompt reflection while laughing her way through her own hero's journey.    If you feel inspired to walk with her ... you can find Kate at kateeastridge.com  or @kate.eastridge on Instagram.     About Katrine Waugh: Katrine Waugh, she/her, is devoted to the consciousness of night, the liminal spaces which fertilize our waking moments. As an Astrologer and Artist she's passionate about helping people to remember their innate belonging to this universe. She believes that each revolution of breath is a birth which offers a return to our sacred inner flame which can never be extinguished.

Mama, how are you? Jesus lived, died, and rose again to heal our hurts and He cares deeply for you. In the hectic pace of Motherhood, we can develop unhealthy, negative emotions and not even realize it. Join us today for this impactful look into anger in motherhood.“My dear [mothers], take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for a man's anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.” James 1:19-21✨ A Sweet Invitation for You, Mama ✨ Sweet sister, in 2026 the Lord is inviting us into something more: deeper connection, more growth, loving heart-to-heart community. Come go deeper with us inside the Radiant Mom Sisterhood.

In dieser Folge erzählt Jakob von einem echten Schockmoment, der ihm noch heute in den Knochen steckt: Letzte Woche hat er einen Anruf seiner Ex-Freundin verpasst. Als er auf sein Display geschaut hat, war da aber auch noch eine Nachricht: „Unsere Tochter musste ins Krankenhaus.“ Mehr nicht: kein Kontext, keine Einordnung, kein „alles halb so wild“. Und während sich bei ihm die Sorgen überschlugen, fragt er sich rückblickend natürlich auch: Warum hat sie mich nicht mehr ins Boot geholt und mich einfach so im Regen stehen gelassen? Aber wir widmen uns natürlich auch euren Sorgen. Zum Beispiel denen eines Hörers, der mit seiner Partnerin eigentlich dasselbe will: Familie, Kinder, Zukunft. Aber keiner möchte seinen Lebensmittelpunkt aufgeben. Für ihn hängt an dem Haus die Geschichte mit seinem verstorbenen Vater, für sie wäre ein Umzug ein schmerzhafter Autonomieverlust. Wie viel Kompromiss ist gesund? Und woran merkt man, dass man sich für die Beziehung vielleicht selbst verliert? Außerdem geht es um eine Ehe, die von außen stabil wirkt: Haus, Kind, Alltag. Und innen um Panikattacken, alte Wunden und ein Versprechen, das vor neun Jahren in einer völlig anderen Lebensphase gegeben wurde. Wie viel Verständnis darf man vom Partner erwarten, wenn man selbst gerade erst beginnt, die eigenen Ängste zu verstehen? Und kann man ein altes Versprechen einfordern, wenn sich beide Menschen längst verändert haben? Und irgendwann landen wir logischerweise noch bei Interstellar und fragen uns, was das eigentlich mit Kindererziehung zu tun hat. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

En los últimos años la crítica le ha encumbrado hasta reconocerle como uno de los mejores novelistas de nuestro país. Máximo Huerta acaba de publicar una nueva novela: Mamá está dormida (Planeta). Le hemos recibido en nuestros estudios. Y ha sido un placer que queremos compartir con él unos minutos.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Do you feel lonely even when you're surrounded by people? Do you crave deep connection but don't know where to find it? Do you want a “village”… but you're exhausted from trying to build one? Maybe you've been hurt by church. Maybe you've tried small groups and still feel unseen. Maybe you're longing for community but don't even know where to begin. In today's episode, we continue the conversation about creating a village by talking honestly about the role of the local church—why it matters, why it's hard, and how God designed it to be part of your healing and flourishing. This episode is for the woman who: Feels isolated and disconnected in this season of life Wants meaningful relationships but keeps hitting walls Has been burned by church and doesn't know how to try again Keeps hoping community will “just happen” but feels stuck Is tired of doing life alone We talk about: Why our culture makes building real community harder than ever The difference between attending church and being planted How church-hopping and isolation keep us stuck in shallow connection Why healing from church hurt doesn't mean abandoning God's design What it actually looks like to create a village over time Practical next steps for finding and committing to a life-giving church Why serving and small groups matter more than Sunday mornings alone This is not a “find perfect people” episode. This is a stay, grow, and build something real episode. If you've been praying for community but haven't wanted to risk disappointment again, this conversation will gently challenge you—and give you a clearer path forward. You don't need a perfect church. You don't need instant friendships. You need roots. And this episode will help you start planting them. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

One of my biggest FAQs involves questions about chores, kids' responsibilities, and teaching children self-discipline. On this episode, I invite my friend RuthAnn Zimmerman to share her wisdom about intentionally facilitating responsibility and stewardship in children through hard work, discipline, and appropriate expectations. She talks about how they chose to take on animals and tasks for the sake of giving their children meaningful work, how we as moms should be “working ourselves out of a job”—at least for a time— and why our idolization of childhood can actually hold our children back.

Proverbs 25 teaches a powerful mindset shift through daily faith, praise, and small consistent actions — revealing how spiritual discipline and intentional gratitude create an unfair advantage in life, leadership, and personal growth. In this faith-based motivational podcast episode recorded in Southern California, we explore how praise, biblical wisdom, and “Inchstones” — small daily actions — compound into life-changing milestones.Today's episode dives deep into Proverbs 25 and the idea that transformation doesn't happen through massive moments but through consistent, faithful steps taken every single day. These Inchstones — small actionable choices — eventually become the milestones that define our lives.Growing up, my mama always said: “God is in the midst of the praise of His people — praise Him in all things.”At the time, I didn't realize this was a cheat code for life.Praise becomes an unfair advantage.When you focus on praise:You remove space for negativity.Pride and ego lose their grip.Judgment fades.Gratitude replaces comparison.Opposition loses power.Your words begin to speak life into others.Proverbs 25 reminds us that distractions, pride, and misplaced focus can quietly steal our peace. But praise centers us. It strengthens patience. It builds favor. It creates contentment. And even intense heat — life's hardest seasons — becomes purification instead of destruction.

This week, Kate and Caroline Moss revisit the beloved Mama Slay at the Lake episode with a director's cut of our delirious 6 AM conversation about irreverent merch, warm beans, Facebook walls, Maxine culture, and Steve Madden platform loafers, followed by a brand new conversation where we get into pun drift, Disney adults in matching shirts, the grievance merch pipeline, Kate's Hamilton/American Girl mashup, and why lake town signs are the truest window into the suppressed psyche of second home motherhood.
