This offers a communal hug, if you will, by enveloping the animal's life with a safe, healthy, happy and tranquil environment, which we know will undoubtedly provide a better life for them. Their conversations weave between regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and consumer demand. The speakers discuss the importance of integrating livestock with crops, the challenges faced in modern agriculture, and the role of youth in shaping the future of farming. They emphasize the need for visual thinking and innovation in agricultural practices, as well as the impact of climate change on food production. Featuring: Dr Temple Grandin is an American scientist and industrial designer whose own experience with autism funded her professional work in creating systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations.Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old. She was fortunate to get early speech therapy. Her teachers also taught her how to wait and take turns when playing board games. She was mainstreamed into a normal kindergarten at age five. Dr. Grandin became a prominent author and speaker on both autism and animal behavior. Today she is a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. She also has a successful career consulting on both livestock handling equipment design and animal welfare. She has been featured on NPR (National Public Radio) and a BBC Special – "The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow". HBO made an Emmy Award winning movie about her life and she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016.Gabe BrownGabe Brown is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on the regeneration of our resources.

As students head back to school this fall, many families are celebrating new beginnings—but for some children, undiagnosed vision problems can create hidden barriers to learning, development, and social growth. That is the concern behind the Pennsylvania Children’s Vision Bill, which calls for mandatory eye exams at key educational milestones. For Laura Koenig of Pennsylvania, the issue hit close to home. Her son, Nathan, struggled with reading from the time he entered kindergarten. Despite interventions and an Individualized Education Program (IEP) implemented in second grade, Nathan continued to lag behind his peers. Teachers and specialists initially attributed his difficulties to a learning disability. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When your teen is caught in the cycle of substance abuse, it can feel like you're living in a nightmare you can't wake up from. You find yourself wondering: Is this just normal teenage behavior? Or is something much bigger going on? I remember asking myself those same questions when my own son was struggling.That's why this conversation with Dawn McCord resonated so deeply for me. Dawn is a fellow mom who's walked the exhausting, heartbreaking path of teen addiction. Her son Carson went from experimenting with marijuana, to overdosing on opioids, and eventually finding healing and recovery through wilderness therapy.Dawn and I talk about what it's really like to live through this as a parent, the endless cycle of treatment programs, the fear of overdoses, the strain it can put on your marriage, and the impossible-feeling boundaries you sometimes have to hold. What I love most is that Dawn's story doesn't end in despair. Today, Carson is sober, thriving, and building a meaningful life in recovery.Currently, Dawn, along with her film partners, is producing a film called “Forest for the Trees: The Truth about Wilderness Therapy” which is an in-depth documentary that shares the stories of families who have been positively and negatively impacted by the often-misunderstood industry. The team is in the process of procuring funding so they can start filming late fall 2025-early 2026. Please follow along at www.wildernessdocumentary.comIn this episode on surviving teen addiction, you'll hear:How to know if your teen's behavior is “normal” experimentation or signs of substance abuse;Why the rehab cycle can feel so endless and how to keep going without losing hope;The boundaries Dawn had to hold with her son, even when it broke her heart;How wilderness therapy became a turning point for their family;What it looks like to survive this season as a parent, and even find healing along the way;And much more.Looking for support?

In Galatians 3:15-29, Paul turns his attention to two promises that God made to Abraham, one concerning land and the other concerning family. Those promises have ramifications for us today: home, a place to live, and family, people to live with.

On this episode of the podcast, Amy Nelson shares the harrowing five-year ordeal her family endured after the FBI launched a federal criminal investigation into her husband, a former Amazon executive. Despite no charges ever being filed, the Department of Justice seized their assets, including $7 million, devastating their family financially, mentally, and emotionally. Backed by former federal prosecutors, Amazon pressed for charges of “honest services fraud” even though her husband had complied fully with his employment contract.Over the years the Nelsons fought back, spending over $4 million in legal fees, while corporate giants and government agencies closed ranks. Their story exposes a disturbing alliance between Big Tech and the federal government, raising serious questions about unchecked corporate influence, prosecutorial overreach, and the lack of accountability from top leaders. Amy now advocates for justice and systemic reform, determined to prevent other families from enduring similar abuses of power.You can learn more about Amy's story and you can follow her on X by searching for her handle: @Amy_K_Nelson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There are good reasons for doubt. However, there are even better reasons for faith. In Galatians 3:1-14, the apostle Paul highlights two reasons for continuing in faith, with allegiance to Christ.

It's easy to say you want to live for God. But as we all know, it's one thing to say it and another thing to live it. If we are going to live for God, we need some help. The apostle Paul gives us some in Galatians 2:15-21.

The Power of a Love Letter When Shannon sat down to write her love letters to her children, she didn't expect just how meaningful the process would be. What began as a simple act of putting words on paper quickly became one of the most profound steps in her family's legacy journey. The letters reflected a lifetime of love, intention, and values that now had a permanent home. https://www.youtube.com/live/VzJGf5fD2Jk For Shannon and her husband, legacy planning for families wasn't about cold documents or rigid legal structures. It was about love, clarity, and making sure their kids were taken care of—not just financially but emotionally and relationally. Not because of the words alone—though they were beautiful and heartfelt—but because those words captured something far deeper: a lifetime of intention, care, and values that now had a permanent home. For Shannon and her husband, legacy planning for families wasn't about cold documents or rigid legal structures. It was about love, clarity, and making sure their kids were taken care of—not just financially but emotionally and relationally. This is the heart of legacy planning for families: making sure the people you love feel your guidance, presence, and blessing long after you're gone. It's not just about transferring assets—it's about transferring identity, vision, and faith. And when done well, legacy planning becomes a source of peace, not pressure. Their journey through the Seven Generations Legacy process turned what they feared would be an overwhelming task into one of the most empowering experiences of their life. And they didn't do it alone. They did it with guidance, structure, support—and a shared commitment to doing legacy differently.

But the truth is, your legacy isn't built by lawyers alone. It's not just about asset protection or tax strategy. As we learned from our client Shannon on the Money Advantage Podcast, the real work of legacy planning is deeply human. It's about putting into words what matters most. It's about facing the hard questions that too often get avoided. And it's about making decisions now that reflect not just your net worth, but your heart. In this blog, we're sharing the real-life story of Shannon and her family. You'll walk through their experience of legacy planning with the Seven Generations Legacy coaching program, and come away with: A clear definition of what legacy planning for families actually involves A step-by-step account of how to design a plan that aligns money with mission A framework for engaging adult children in meaningful, productive ways Insight into why emotional clarity is just as important as financial clarity And encouragement to start your own journey before it's too late Because this kind of work doesn't just benefit your kids when you're gone. It changes the way your family lives together today. Starting the Journey: A Shared Dream, Two Different Priorities When Shannon and David began this journey, they were on the same team but holding different blueprints. David's background, having grown up with limited financial resources, made it important for him to build a financial legacy. For him, the goal was protection and provision.

What happens when life throws you a devastating curveball? For Kody and her family, her husband's end-stage liver disease diagnosis with just one year to live became the catalyst for a complete lifestyle transformation. They sold everything, bought a farm, and began growing their own food—a decision that ultimately led to his liver fully healing eight years later.This conversation takes us deep into the intersection of homesteading and homeschooling, revealing how one family found purpose, health, and a thriving business by reconnecting with traditional skills. Kody shares candidly about their journey from thinking "we don't want to spend all day with our children" to creating an integrated life where education happens naturally through meaningful work. Her story of watching her once-struggling son thrive outside traditional education—eventually becoming a $50/hour foreman at age 20—challenges conventional thinking about learning and success.As founder of Homestead Education, Kody created curriculum that's now used in five countries after discovering a surprising gap in agricultural education resources. "Food is literally humanity's most driving force, and yet nobody knows how to do it," she explains, describing how her materials blend agriculture, science, and home economics for all ages. From raising heritage pigs to managing a micro-dairy, her family demonstrates how developing self-sufficiency skills creates resilience and purpose beyond what conventional systems offer.Whether you're curious about homesteading, considering homeschooling, or simply interested in more sustainable living, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiration.
