Podcasts about restoring relationships

In this heartfelt episode, Carol McLeod talks with Laine Lawson Craft about the restoration of her marriage and the powerful journey of parenting prodigal children. By Laine's description, a wayward prodigal child is any who consistently does what their parent or those who care for them wish they weren't doing. Laine shares how faith, prayer, and spiritual warfare played key roles in healing her family, offering hope to parents facing similar struggles. Laine's story is a testimony to God's redemptive power in even the darkest seasons. Order Warfare Parenting at https://lainelawsoncraft.com/books/warfare-parenting/ Connect with Carol at https://www.carolmcleodministries.com/ or email her at carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

Wednesday evening message from Dr. Jim Schettler. March 26, 2025

Good morning!

This week, Pastor Roberto concludes the Celebrating Healing series by focusing on the restoration of relationships, using Peter's reconciliation with Jesus from John 21:15-19. Pastor Roberto highlights that relationships, though complex, are central to God's work of healing. He explores how Peter's expectations of Jesus caused his failure and how Jesus responded with sacrificial love to restore him. The sermon emphasizes that true healing in relationships requires taking initiative, offering sacrificial love, and committing to reconciliation. The message concludes with seven keys for restoring relationships: Take the initiative: Be the one to reach out. Take the high road: Reconciliation requires humility. Take time: Trust takes time to rebuild. Take out the trash: Let go of anger and resentment. Take a listen: Listen attentively before speaking. Take it seriously: Don't settle for less than a fresh start. Take it home: Apply these principles to your relationships today.

Episode 205 – Crushing the Stigma: Saving Lives & Restoring RelationshipsAs the host of this podcast, I'm often recognized as a passionate influencer who is on a mission to “Crush the Stigma” surrounding mental health and substance abuse. With my deep-rooted belief that mental health-related challenges are not a sign of weakness but rather a common human experience, my commitment is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting conversations in all business sectors and in our faith communities, in order to save lives and restore relationships. As a recognized figure in corporate America and in the recovery world, I'm committed to breaking down barriers and providing support for individuals who are struggling with compulsive and destructive behaviors. My sobriety journey began more than 32 years ago, when I was only nine months into my third marriage, and I finally realized that it was time for a radical change in my life. In the year 1990, on September 24th, a Sunday afternoon, I slowly walked into a residential treatment center in Southern Utah. My commitment to sobriety has allowed me to develop a powerful message of hope and a relentless drive to make a positive impact. Some say I'm a “force to be reckoned with” in the fight against mental health stigma and substance abuse.If you're looking for answers to questions about substance abuse or maybe you'd like to know more about my fast-growing business coaching endeavor, please connect via the sources below.Recovery coaching: http://randymortensen.com/Office number: 321.757.HOPEBusiness Coaching: https://rpmglobaladvisors.com/ acourageousrecovery.com

Welcome back to our third episode of a five-part miniseries exploring how a focus on local food builds relationships with people and the environment.  If you haven't followed this miniseries, you may want to go back and listen from episode 26, Localizing the Regional Food System.   In our last episode we explored the community food web, a local alternative to the globalized food system that centers our relationships with our communities and with the land.    In this episode, we look at some relationships that people have with their foodways and some of the impacts that are felt when these relationships are damaged.  Then we'll hear how some folks are restoring their communities' relationships with the land and with each other. At the end, we'll hear what Vermont Farmers Food Center is doing to help build back those community relationships in Rutland.   Steve Gorelick, Managing and Programs Director for Local Futures, believes that the globalized accumulation economy has isolated us from true community.  Steve says that before globalization, our agriculturally based communities were inherently more interconnected, and that this isolation has many serious effects.   Farmer and Vermont Farmers Food Center founder, Greg Cox, believes that global agribusiness' goal is yield, and that individual and community health has suffered in the wake of this approach.     Shane Rogers of Food Solutions New England, believes that social inequities have been exacerbated by an unaccountable global food system, and that communities are their own best experts for rebalancing the power dynamic that a globalized system creates.   Many communities that have been marginalized by the global yield-based economy are rebuilding their relationships with their foodways and creating more just systems while doing so.  We have explored many of these stories on Root Words over the past few years.   In episode 4, Sugaring in Vermont, Vermont Abenaki chef Jessee Lawyer describes his experience practicing traditional indigenous maple sugaring.  In episodes 10, 11, 15, and 16, We explore the Vermont Abenaki's quest for food sovereignty and preservation of their cultural food traditions, and hear from some allies in these efforts.     In episode 18 Taking Space, Vermont RELEAF Collective, I spoke with Olivia Pena, founder of Vermont RELEAF Collective, a network by Black Indigenous, & People of Color advancing Racial Equity in Land, Environment, Agriculture, & Foodways.  This Vermont BIPOC network amplifies and lifts marginalized voices, while building community and sharing opportunities around foodways and land stewardship.     If you haven't listened to our older episodes, they show some real depth to our communities' cultural and social practices around food, and they are worth a listen.   Instead of replaying a segment from one of these earlier episodes, I'd like to play a piece from an unaired interview I did with Rich Holshuh in October of 2021.  Rich is a citizen of the Elnu Abenaki Tribe, and working on the Atowi project that hopes to create balance with communities and with place.  Forced removal separated indigenous people from their land and foodways abruptly.  This and the cultural genocide that followed makes it very difficult for indigenous people to maintain their relationship with place and with their food system.  Rich's Atowi project is doing some really amazing work in partnership with the Brattleboro Retreat Farm and SuSu ComUNITY farm to address this reality.  Stay tuned for more on this work in future episodes of Root Words.   Many BIPOC organizations and networks are leading the way to reestablish relationships between communities and with place.    To learn about the work of Atowi and of SuSu CommUNITY Farm, check out atowi.org, and susucommunityfarm.org.     Here in Rutland, farmer and VFFC board president, Greg Cox feels that most people no longer know where our food comes from and we've been detached from our connection to place and to seasonal change because of it, resulting in poor mental and physical health for us as individuals and for our communities as a whole.  Greg feels that communities can be saved by rebuilding economic viability, beginning with a local food economy.  This belief led Greg and others to create the Vermont Farmers Food Center in 2012.     By focusing on seasonal community gathering around food, VFFC creates the space for authentic community connections and empathetic relationships between people and sets the stage for healing and restoration while reconnecting people to their home's natural cycles and rhythms.  By using local food as common ground, VFFC facilitates a place-based culture that engages the community.   Heidi Lynch is the executive director for Vermont Farmers Food Center.  Under Heidi's guidance, VFFC leads a grassroots effort to become more connected to community and place by gathering around local food.    A built awareness around our connections to nature and community through a local food web creates space for dialog, understanding, and healing.  We are all connected to place by our food and to each other through our community food web.  When you become a supporter of VFFC, you establish a local relationship with farmers, food producers, and community members.  You establish a relationship with place.  For more information on becoming a member of the community at VFFC, visit VFFC's website at vermontfarmersfoodcenter.org.    Food is the heart of one of our most intimate relationships with nature. We have the opportunity to connect with the land, the farmers, and our community when we restore relationships through the foods we choose to eat. Through a shared sense of place we can build trust and start healing our relationships with each other.   Rebuilding trust and our relationships with each other and with the land we occupy creates a strong foundation for food web resilience, but in order to bring the food system home you need a physical place, and it needs to be big and accessible. On the next Root Words we'll hear how a grassroots community effort worked to rescue an aging piece of the community's industrial past.     This episode was produced by Stephen Abatiell and Julia Anderson.   Special thanks to Steve Gorelick, Shane Rogers, Rich Holshuh, Greg Cox, and Heidi Lynch.   To learn more, check out the Atowi project at atowi.org, and SuSu CommUNITY Farm at susucommunityfarm.org.     For more information on the community at VFFC, visit vermontfarmersfoodcenter.org.  This Root Words series has been underwritten by Windswept Farm and Rutland Fluoride Action.    Barry Cohen of Windswept Farm strongly supports VFFC and is very encouraged with the Food Hub plan. Barry says, “My farm as well as my partner, The Squier Family Farm, expect to use the food hub facilities with it benefiting our process and profit.”   The folks at Rutland Fluoride Action are dedicated to ending fluoridation of the Rutland City water supply, learn more at RutlandFluorideAction.org.

In contrast, the book of Proverbs teaches what's in our heart determines the nature of the relationship.

In our last episode we explored the challenges that a global food system can have for local communities.  On this episode of Root Words we'll talk with Ken Meter, president of Crossroads Resource Center and Philip Ackerman-Leist farmer, author, and Vermont Farmers Food Center board member, as we explore the concept of a community Food Web and the benefits of this local alternative. To start us off, let's go back to our conversation from the last episode with Ellen Kahler, Executive Director with Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, and member of the Governor's Commission on the Future of Vermont Agriculture, where she helped create Vermont Farm to Plate, the state's food systems development plan.   Ellen says that the Covid-19 pandemic caused major disruptions in the fragile global food system.  Creating an alternative supply chain will need to be a community effort played out region by region, but communities don't need to feel isolated while doing this work.  Food systems analysts like Ken Meter can help provide perspective.  In 2019, Ken conducted and wrote VFFC's Market Study which helped guide its strategic planning in 2020. Ken Meter is the president of Crossroads Resource Center, a non-profit organization that works with communities to foster democracy and local self-determination. His local economic analyses have promoted local food networks in 140 regions, 40 states, two provinces, and three tribal nations.  His recent book, Building Community Food Webs, is an inspiring collection of stories about how communities transformed their food systems and local economies.    A community food web builds health, wealth, connection, and capacity within the local community.   Ken believes that a community food web is largely a relational network, and that the strength of these relationships relies on trust.  Philip Ackerman-Leist is a farmer, former food systems professor, VFFC board member, and author of Rebuilding the Foodshed: How to Create Local, Sustainable, and Secure Food Systems. While working with partners in the food web, Philip puts his faith in trust. Tension between available resources and the vision for recreating a relational food web can create slow, stable, and resilient change, but tension between communities of people in a food web can increase inequity and erode trust.   Ken Meter feels that the food system we have now creates wealth for some at the expense of others, but a relocalized community food web can be a vehicle for restoring trust and addressing injustice.    On the next episode of Root Words we'll take a closer look at the filaments that bind a community food web as we explore Restoring Relationships.  This episode was produced by Stephen Abatiell and Julia Anderson.  Special thanks to Ellen Kahler, Ken Meter, and Philip Ackerman-Leist.

Jillian and Christina welcome Edward Luersman to today's episode. Edward is a Springs in the Desert contributor and licensed professional counselor whose focus includes infertility, miscarriage, and their associated grief. He begins by sharing about some of the common feelings and experiences he sees in his practice among people struggling with infertility or loss. Then he discusses how we might often see God the Father through the lens of our earthly father, which can lead to a misunderstanding about who God the Father really is. Our human relationships are imperfect, and our earthly fathers fall short and even disappoint us. But God is our eternal, loving Father, whose arms are always open to us.
