In this warm father-daughter podcast, Pastor Gregory Pope sits down with his daughter for an honest and heartfelt conversation about what it really looks like to build a safe home. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, they talk about the power of daily putting God's Word into our children's hearts and the beautiful balance of strong boundaries paired with abundant grace. Pastor Gregory shares touching stories from his own childhood — growing up with a crippled father who never complained, learning integrity, gratitude, hard work, laughter through hard times, and the deep sense of safety that came from parents who trusted God completely. They also discuss the importance of the “sound in the house,” repentance, second chances, and how every parent can start building a godly legacy today.

In this deeply honest, vulnerable,  courageous and inter-generational conversation, I am joined by Leslie Priscilla of Latinx Parenting, my daughter Ally Hrbacek, Mariana Trujillo-Lezama, and her mother Claudia Lezama. Together, we explore a powerful and necessary truth: there is no healing or justice without the liberation of children. We name something many struggle to say out loud—children are often mistreated in ways that have been normalized. Through control, punishment, dismissal, and the assumption of adult authority, harm is perpetuated in everyday parenting practices. Leslie calls this what it is: adult supremacy, and challenges us to radically rethink how we relate to children. This conversation moves beyond blame and into awareness. Across generations, we reflect on the parenting we received, the patterns we've inherited, and the courage it takes to interrupt cycles of harm. We speak to the tension of loving our children deeply while also confronting the ways we may unknowingly replicate what hurt us. We also hold a profound truth: children are not just beings we raise—they are teachers, mirrors, and healers. They reveal where we are still wounded. They invite us to reconnect with our own inner children. And they call us into the work of healing—not just individually, but across generations. In this episode, we explore: the normalization of harm in parenting; power, control, and adult supremacy; what it means to truly love and respect children;  children as teachers and guides in our healing; the necessity of re-parenting ourselves; and why the liberation of children is essential to any vision of justice or healing. This is not a conversation about perfect parenting. It is a conversation about truth, accountability, and transformation. Because how we treat children shapes not only families— but the world we are creating. --- Leslie Priscilla is a parent coach, educator, and the founder of Latinx Parenting, a bilingual movement rooted in children's rights, social and racial justice, nonviolence, and intergenerational healing. Her work focuses on: liberating children from harmful and oppressive parenting practices supporting parents in reparenting themselves healing intergenerational and ancestral trauma and decolonizing family systems She has worked with thousands of parents, educators, and professionals through workshops, trainings, and community-based programming. Leslie's highly anticipated book, Chancla: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture through Nonviolent Parenting, is available for pre-order and will be released on August 18, 2026. In Chancla, Leslie: examines “la chancla” as both a cultural symbol and a legacy of normalized violence invites readers to move away from fear, shame, and corporal punishment offers a path rooted in connection, reflection, and ancestral healing and supports readers in healing both their parenting practices and their inner child Blending storytelling, history, and practical tools, this book is a guide for anyone seeking to break cycles and create homes grounded in love, safety, and respect.

A Fine Gael Senator and bye-election candidate has said that it is unacceptable that Galway has no accommodation for individuals and families leaving crisis situations. Senator Seán Kyne said that there are 10 refuge units, but no transitional accommodation for families who need a safe place to rebuild their lives. Senator Kyne said while the investment has led to new refuge and Safe Home units across the country, Galway remains without a single unit, leaving survivors with no supported accommodation options once they leave emergency refuge. Safe Home units provide medium-term, supported accommodation for individuals and families leaving crisis situations and are a core pillar of the State's Zero Tolerance Strategy to Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence and are designed to stop survivors from being forced back into unsafe environments. Speaking to Galway Bay FM News, Senator Kyne said it is important that every support possible is made available by the Government.

In this episode, Jon tackles one of the most anxiety-provoking parenting topics: kids and secrets—and why secrecy can feel so loaded for both children and parents. Centered on the idea that the most powerful word in a child's world isn't rule or consequence, but promise, he explains how secrecy hooks into loyalty, safety, and attachment long before kids have the brain development to navigate those tensions.Parents will walk away with clarity on the difference between privacy, surprises, and secrets, insight into why “just tell me” often backfires, and a calmer, more protective framework for becoming the kind of adult their child wants to tell when something really matters.Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

A handful of places still let your nervous system breathe, and Green Bank, West Virginia, is one of them. We sit down with returning guest Andrew McAfee—author, inventor, teacher and licensed electrician—to unpack why the town's famed radio quiet sanctuary is suddenly vulnerable and what it will take to keep it intact. A recent policy shift around 2.4 GHz opens the door to Wi‑Fi meshes, smart meters and new towers that could erase the very conditions that make recovery possible for so many.There's a practical path forward. Children's Health Defense is engaged to push a targeted update to West Virginia state law so protections extend to people, not only the telescope. The strategy is concrete: fund the legal brief, sustain lobbying, and lock in a framework that prevents 2.4 GHz from seeding the very infrastructure Green Bank has long avoided. Andrew also shares how Safe Home helps electrically sensitive residents navigate housing and power-grid issues so they can actually live well in this unique low-EMF area.Your help can make the difference, please consider donating now to this important initiative:  https://childrenshealthdefense.org/support/protect-the-national-radio-quiet-zone/Avoid fees by mailing a check to:Children's Health Defense852 Franklin Ave., Suite 511Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417Include a note that the donation is specifically for the "Protect the NRQZ"These special prices are good only through the end of October 2025.

In todays show, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes two remarkable guests, Kellyann Kostyal-Larrier, an advocate for victims of domestic violence, and Nikki Addimando, a criminalized survivor from Dutchess County. Together, they delve into the profound impacts of domestic violence on individuals and explore the complexities of navigating the judicial penal system, which often adds layers of trauma instead of providing justice and protection. Highlighting the staggering statistics provided by the CDC and the ACLU, the discussion sheds light on the broader crisis of intimate partner violence and the systemic failures that exacerbate victimization. Kellyann and Nikki candidly share their personal and professional experiences, emphasizing the importance of understanding each survivor's unique journey. Throughout the conversation, Kellyann discusses her extensive work with victims, addressing systemic gaps and supporting survivors through multidisciplinary teams. Nikki recounts her harrowing experience of being a criminalized survivor, the challenges she faced during her trial, and her resilience in advocating for the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), which has played a crucial role in re-sentencing her case and offers hope for countless other survivors. The episode also underscores the significant role of voting in shaping the landscape of criminal justice, urging listeners to consider the impact of their choices on domestic violence survivors. Dr. Novatt and her guests advocate for electing informed and empathetic officials who can transform the systems that often fail victims. The discussion calls for continued education, professional accountability, and systemic change to ensure that survivors are protected and supported.

What if the place that should be your sanctuary—your home—could be transformed from a place of fear into a space where respect isn't just hoped for, but required by law? Today on Whinypaluza, host Rebecca Greene sits down with Sabrina Osso, founder and CEO of Osso Safe, a revolutionary company transforming the way we approach safety in our homes, schools, and workplaces. As a TEDx speaker, published author, and passionate advocate, Sabrina is transforming her pain into a force for good, empowering families everywhere. A proud member of the National Association of Realtors and the Women's Federation for World Peace, she was recently honored with the HerStory Award in March 2024. Through her innovative Osso Safe certification program, children's book "Home Safe Home for You and Me," and the Osso Safe Kids Video, Sabrina is reimagining what "home sweet home" can and should be—making respect a required standard in all residences. Key Takeaways ➤ Respect as a Required Standard: Osso Safe is working to make respect a mandatory requirement in all residential properties through their certification program, which includes policies, seminars, apps, and assigned therapists. ➤ The Difference Between Abuse and Discipline: Abuse instills fear while discipline instills education—this crucial distinction helps parents understand how to guide children from a place of respect rather than control. ➤ Children Need Voice and Choice: Rather than waiting until age 18, children should be empowered to speak up about unsafe situations and know they have trusted adults who will listen and protect them. ➤ Documentation is Crucial: For anyone experiencing abuse, documenting incidents helps combat gaslighting and creates a clear pattern that can be used for protection and legal purposes. ➤ Healing Happens Both Ways: When you heal yourself and then help others heal, it creates a powerful two-way street of transformation and empowerment. Powerful Quotes from Sabrina"Abuse instills fear, and discipline instills education. When you discipline your kids, it should come from a place of education, not fear and manipulation and domination and control.""We trust our children at Osso Safe. We are giving them voice and choice... You kids know who makes you feel safe and free and respected and good, so we're trusting them."

She speaks candidly about the fears some parents may face when a child comes out, and how acceptance, validation, and education can make all the difference in a child's well-being and future. Listeners will learn why LGBTQ-specific spaces—like the FLY Cluster—are vital. These monthly virtual meetups offer foster families across Utah the opportunity to connect, share lived experiences, and find support navigating the unique challenges LGBTQ youth may face. From casual get-togethers like root beer floats in the park to more structured peer support, these events are centered on building confidence, community, and connection. Looking for LGBTQ Resources? Adrienne highlights the comprehensive list available at utahfostercare.org, including statewide organizations like Encircle and the Utah Pride Center. Whether you're a foster parent, ally, or just someone with a heart for helping kids, there are many ways to get involved—even if fostering isn't an option for you. Donating event space, sponsoring youth activities, or simply taking the Safe Home Pledge are all meaningful ways to support LGBTQ youth in care. Tune in to hear heartwarming stories, practical tips, and how you can make a lasting impact in the lives of young people by showing up with love, empathy, and open arms. Guest Bio: Adrienne Shearer Adrienne Shearer is a longtime Salt Lake City resident and foster parent who's been opening her home to kids for the past 14 years. She's adopted five of those kids and brings a wealth of lived experience to every conversation about parenting, community, and care. Adrienne also works as a Fly Cluster Facilitator and a sign language interpreter. When she’s not juggling schedules or advocating for families, she loves digging in her garden and soaking up quiet moments outdoors. Transcript: transcript_ep60_jun25

This episode is all about a retrofit programme gone wrong in Preston and the effort required to fix it. It's a story that was covered in the pages of Passive House Plus back in 2018 under the headline "Disastrous Preston retrofit scheme remains unresolved" and until recently we thought it remained unresolved.We're joined by Filipe Amarante and Joanna Curtis to talk about the Preston Retrofit Catastrophe and all the work that National Energy Action has been doing to fix the grotesque damage that was wrought on a community in the 2010s. It's a project that's consumed at least four years and—in truth—will require many more to make good.It's not a hopeless story though. The work NEA has carried out is full of lessons for anyone who works in retrofit to learn. They've taken a worst case scenario—one so bad it's hard to imagine how you could make it any worse—and developed a remediation programme that mitigates the worst of the situation while laying out a best-practice template for how one should approach place-based retrofit programmes.They're also hosting a NEA webinar about the programme on 10 June: sign up here.Notes from the showThe Passive House Plus article: "Disastrous Preston retrofit scheme remains unresolved"Filipe on LinkedInJoanna on LinkedInThe NEA website The NEA's summary report on the project (and video): Warm and Safe Homes in FishwickMore photos of the disaster in "When retrofit goes wrong – lessons from Preston", a presentation by Kate de Selincourt, the writer who brought this story to Jeff's attentionCathy Come Home on IMDBA Taste of Honey on IMDBRiff-Raff on IMDB **SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

In todays show, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes two remarkable guests, Kellyann Kostyal-Larrier, an advocate for victims of domestic violence, and Nikki Addimando, a criminalized survivor from Dutchess County. Together, they delve into the profound impacts of domestic violence on individuals and explore the complexities of navigating the judicial penal system, which often adds layers of trauma instead of providing justice and protection. Highlighting the staggering statistics provided by the CDC and the ACLU, the discussion sheds light on the broader crisis of intimate partner violence and the systemic failures that exacerbate victimization. Kellyann and Nikki candidly share their personal and professional experiences, emphasizing the importance of understanding each survivor's unique journey. Throughout the conversation, Kellyann discusses her extensive work with victims, addressing systemic gaps and supporting survivors through multidisciplinary teams. Nikki recounts her harrowing experience of being a criminalized survivor, the challenges she faced during her trial, and her resilience in advocating for the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), which has played a crucial role in re-sentencing her case and offers hope for countless other survivors. The episode also underscores the significant role of voting in shaping the landscape of criminal justice, urging listeners to consider the impact of their choices on domestic violence survivors. Dr. Novatt and her guests advocate for electing informed and empathetic officials who can transform the systems that often fail victims. The discussion calls for continued education, professional accountability, and systemic change to ensure that survivors are protected and supported.

Many rules come with exceptions. Perhaps that's nowhere more true than with financial decisions.In most situations, paying off the mortgage and becoming debt-free is the right decision, but it may not be possible for everyone. Harlan Accola joins us today to discuss “red doors” and exceptions to the rule.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Meaning Behind Red DoorsRed doors have rich historical significance. In biblical times, red signified safety and protection, as seen with the Israelites marking their doors during the Passover. In Scottish tradition, a red door symbolized that a home was mortgage-free—a point of pride. Early Americans painted their doors red to signal a place of rest for weary travelers.While red doors symbolize safety and accomplishment, it's important to rethink what safety truly means. Is safety just about paying off your mortgage? Or could it also mean being able to stay in your home, meet your needs, and share your blessings with others as you age?Reverse Mortgages and Financial StewardshipFor many seniors, having a mortgage-free home is a milestone of God's provision. However, a reverse mortgage (HECM) can provide additional safety, especially for those struggling to make ends meet. It allows seniors to draw income from their home equity and stay in their homes while meeting their financial needs.Seniors over 62 have over $13 trillion in home equity—a massive untapped resource. For some, a reverse mortgage could be an answer to prayer, helping cover bills and providing peace of mind. Reverse mortgages offer a unique opportunity to be good stewards of the resources God has provided, ensuring we can enjoy our homes and meet our needs in retirement.To determine if a reverse mortgage is the right solution for your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I am 61 years old and want to file for Social Security at 62. However, I have so much credit card and loan debt that I'm considering filing for bankruptcy, and I would like to know your take. I looked up your credit counseling thing, but they can't service one of my loans, so I didn't go any further with them.We sold a property in owner finance the property. When do we report the taxes on it? And is it a long-term capital gain? I had it for 15 years and lived in it some, but it wasn't our primary residence.I wanted to know about I-Bonds and the interest rate they're paying currently. The last I heard, you can only buy them through a website. I'm 83 and don't know much about computers. Is there a number I can call?I'm struggling to tithe because my husband and I disagree with how the church spends the money. We feel like we're the only ones who disagree, and it's difficult writing out that tithe check when we don't agree with the financial decisions. We're wondering if we're wrong or if the church is wrong. We don't want to withhold our tithe but feel the money could be spent much better.Resources Mentioned:Movement MortgageTreasuryDirect.govChristian Credit CounselorsLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

The Board of Commissioners also approved several variances, including reduced setbacks and buffer requirements, to bring the existing structures into compliance with county codes. The property, which includes a drive-thru parking lot, is set to be utilized for commercial purposes, as confirmed by the county documents.
