We often hear that it's harder to raise kids today than ever before. That isn't true, of course. All eras down through history have been challenging. We live in a world scarred by sin, after all, and children grow up among all sorts of temptations.   That's why the role of a parent is something to take seriously, as a sacred duty.   We've been discussing the best practical guide for living: the Bible. Nowhere is this truer than in its practical wisdom for raising successful children.   Although we all have the freedom to make our own choices—and your kids certainly will make their own decisions—they benefit greatly from a loving father or mother who also loves the Lord.   Proverbs 22:6 says, “Start children off in the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”   This isn't the kind of thing you hope for—this is scripture, the Word of God, and can be relied on to bring about the promise made. The Lord will honor your commitment to raising children who love their Creator.   One way to do that is to be bold in your discussions with your children, who likely hear anti-God stuff from school, and entertainment. For example, talk with them as if you believe the Bible is really true. Then point out that the book of Exodus commands all of us to value our parents.   Exodus 20:12 says, “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God has given you.”   It doesn't hurt to point out the bonus: long life.   Make sure that you also share with your children the wonderful practical tips from the Bible. Much of it will save them a broken heart down the road.   For example, Proverbs 18:24 says, “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”   This is repeated in the New Testament in 1 Corinthians 15:33, which says, “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.”   God's Word promises us a sound mind. This state of being will help your children in everything they do from completing school assignments to caring for elderly relatives. A child who knows the Lord, and prays consistently, will become a human being you can be proud of.   Let's pray.   Father God, children are a gift from you. They are a sacred treasure—entrusted to us for a little while. Remind us daily of our role in shaping their lives, so that they are healthy, and content, in the world that you made for them. In Jesus' name, amen.   Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

As your host, Jeffrey Besecker, I invite you to consider the concept of being a Kahu in your own life.

Have you ever witnessed unethical actions in your workplace?  Would you remain quiet? Would take steps to have these misdeeds stopped?  What influences your decision?Paula Pedene, Paula Pedene & Associates of Phoenix, Arizona,  recognized massive misdeeds by senior officials at the Veterans Administration hospital in Phoenix and began to take steps to end this travesty that caused the death of some veterans.  She began to face an onslaught of unfair and punishing treatment. Paula was bloodied but stood tall through it all. Bent but not broken. She enlisted sympathetic co-workers to assist in assembling data and facts to support their claims.  Her efforts paid off.  She gained the support of local media, and members of Congress that responded to her detailed information.  In the end, she provided the details and data that removed multiple senior officials from the VA hospital.   Paula's efforts were recognized with a PRSA PR Pro of the year award. She was also inducted into the Defense Information School Hall of Fame and she published her book: "A Sacred Duty."Link to Paula Pedene:https://paulapedene.com/Podcast Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D54NRSyeXsSupport the show

Whistleblower Paula Pedene thought she had found her dream job. But her commitment to honesty and integrity led to a nightmare – one that should infuriate every one of us. Her story is chronicled in the book “A Sacred Duty; How a Whistleblower Took on the VA and Won.” Paula enlisted in 1978 and became a Navy journalist.  She re-enlisted for the Gulf War but a hereditary eye disease eventually ended her military career. In 1994 she was appointed the first full time Public Affairs officer for the Phoenix Veterans Administration Health Center. She led the Phoenix VA to national recognition and awards. However, a new administrator who was inclined to his own betterment rather than putting the Veterans first led to her first conflict. He delayed and denied care in order to secure additional equipment. Dr. Sam Foote was the original whistleblower in this situation and approached Paula about reporting the conditions and she agreed to step up. An internal investigation found $ 11 million in shortfalls but Paula was branded. Incoming administrators sought out minor infractions to punish Paula, literally exiling her to the basement. What was supposed to be a 30 day investigation turned into two years in limbo. But she would not give up. The new administrators were “gaming the system” in order to secure performance bonuses. They were literally keeping two sets of appointment books. Testimony and later investigations revealed that as many as 3.500 Veterans were stranded on these “alternate” lists and 1,800 could not secure primary care appointments. Some died while waiting for appointments. Eventually, thanks to many allied whistleblowers within the VA, Congress and the media, the Phoenix VA state of affairs (and similar situations around the country) was finally brought to light. Of the 156 VA hospitals nationwide, similar wait list situations were occurring at 111 of them. Paula received redemption. TAKEAWAY: “The Veterans Administration is an agency with a very noble mission. But the bureaucracy sometimes lets bad actors maneuver and it needs a culture change.”

"A Sacred Duty" - A Look at A Whistleblower's Nightmare gives us a personal account of the VA Hospital Patient Care Scandal. This podcast episode is about a courageous woman who did what was right and was tormented for it.  This is a scandal that began before the year 2014. Veterans began dying because VA Hospital Officials were delaying care and lying about it. We know about this because of a couple of Whistleblowers. These VA workers would not stop until the public and lawmakers knew what was happening. Behind the scenes, one of these whistle-blowers was being bullied horribly by administrators. My guest is Paula Pedene, the VA Public Relations professional working at the Phoenix, Arizona Veteran's Administration's Hospital during the scandal that resulted in the deaths of Veterans. I worked with Paula in Washington D.C. She is a friend—an award-winning PR Professional, and now an author. Her book is “A Sacred Duty, how a Whistleblower took on the VA and Won.” by Paula Pedene.

This next guest is someone I deeply admire, and when I heard her incredible story. I was so moved and blown away by her courage and tenacity. Paula Pedene is a nationally recognized public relations strategist, Veteran's Affairs Whistleblower, and author. Her book is called A Sacred Duty. This is the true story of how a visually impaired, decorated Navy veteran's life and family started to unravel when she's targeted for retaliation after bringing to light mismanagement and harassment at a Veterans Administration hospital.Psychologically crippled by the attacks – and battling financial ruin, ruthless superiors, a skeptical media, and her two sons' emotional crises – she fights back, refusing to surrender to a system that is stacked against her. Working with a bulldog congressional investigator, an ornery VA doctor, and a husband who believes in her, she becomes a central figure in exposing a conspiracy that rocked the nation, killed dozens of veterans, provoked nationwide outrage, and ultimately brought down the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.She is also a respected Navy Journalist and one of the original anchors of Navy Video News in the mid-80s. A true pioneer and trailblazer!Purchase her book - https://www.paulapedene.com/a-sacred-duty-book/

This episode features an interview with John Boerstler, Chief Experience Officer at the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs.  In this episode, John talks about improving trust ratings, journey mapping, and reaching underserved communities.Quotes“If we're going to create this world-class customer experience for our veterans and their families, caregivers, and survivors, then we also have to make sure that we provide a world-class employee experience for 400,000 men and women that serve here in the VA everyday.” “If we think just not only along the lines of age, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender in general, we have to design for all of these different customer types to ensure that some of the most underserved veterans and their families are out or are engaged and retained as customers and that they choose VA for their care and benefits so that we can fulfill our sacred oath and our commitment to them.”“The United States military creates the largest number of displaced workers every year. 250,000 young men and women leave active service. And they move from Virginia to Texas or California to Missouri or Missouri to Florida and the professional and personal networks that they have at their duty station that do not translate to the communities that they return to. And so they have a difficult time finding work and finding a new social or that unit mentality, that social net social network, so to speak that we have in the military, that comradery that we so miss. And that can lead to negative health and economic outcomes. So how can we be on the front end of that transition, improve it, negative health and economic outcomes by wrapping our arms around these individuals and their families at that point of transition and then at the same time deliver a delightful customer experience?”Time Stamps*[4:09] Shifting to human-centered design*[6:05] The sacred duty to serve Veterans*[7:15] How the VA has improved trust ratings by 23%*[10:26] Leveraging tech to give more Veterans access to services*[12:50] The birth of the Veterans Experience Officer and the first journey map*[16:54] The core values of the VA in CX*[18:46] Using data to increase access and improve outcomes for Veterans*[20:47] Meeting the unique challenges of Veterans after active service*[24:14] Learning to meet the needs of LGBTQ and BIPOC Veterans*[27:31] Measuring the effectiveness of CX initiatives*[31:58] Meeting Veterans at their point of transition to civilian life*[32:33] Addressing mental health needs among Veterans*[39:00] Owning the momentBioJohn is a native Texan who served honorably in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1999-2007 as a non-commissioned officer and infantry unit leader, including one combat tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2004-2005 and Operation Natural Fire in the Republic of Kenya in 2006.
