Hoops, Hope, and Holiness, with Fr. Pete McCormick, C.S.C. Everybody at Notre Dame knows Fr. Pete. He's the director of campus ministry, who's responsible for leading a team that cares for the spiritual needs of our student body. He lives in a Notre Dame residence hall, where about 250 young men share life – and pranks – together. He's the chaplain of the Notre Dame men's basketball team, where he helps guide student-athletes through the privilege and challenges of balancing very busy lives. He's even the sometimes-DJ for campus events, including live on College Game Day when the show visited campus a couple years ago. But at the heart of it all, he is a Holy Cross priest, dedicated to his prayer and ministry, and to his religious community in the Congregation of Holy Cross.Fr. Pete and I have been close friends for over 20 years. He joins me today to talk about ministry to our students, chaplaincy to the basketball team, his own vocation, and being fully alive.Follow-up Resources:Story about “Fr. Pete” in the Notre Dame Magazine.Learn more about Campus Ministry at Notre Dame.Church Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

We draw on our own personal experiences, as well as research in this conversation. We pay special attention to the role of social capital in the transition to a new school year. We also speak on best practices for speaking with our children about how their day went and what they have learned beyond just asking “How was school today?”.

On this episode of Black Girls Evolve Podcast, I speak about my goals as a parent for this upcoming school year! Tap-In

As Christian moms, we feel the weight of sending our kids into the world—whether that's homeschooling, private school, Christian school, or public school. And with a new school year beginning, our mama hearts can easily slip into fear about what they might face: bullying, harmful ideologies, peer pressure, or simply the unknown. But here's the truth: we don't parent in fear—we parent in faith. We have authority through Jesus, and God has promised us His angel armies encamped around our children. He is their first and ultimate Protector. In this episode of the Revival Mom Podcast, I share a raw story from my own motherhood journey that reminded me how deeply I long to keep my kids safe. Then, we dig into powerful scripture-based prayers that you can declare over your children as they start the school year. We talk about: Why revival in the home begins with moms standing on God's truth. How to cover your children in prayer no matter what type of school they're in. Scriptural promises of angelic protection (Psalm 34:7, Psalm 91:11, 2 Kings 6:16-17, and more). How to guard their minds, hearts, friendships, identity, and hunger for God. The difference between protecting them physically and spiritually. You'll walk away equipped to pray bold, faith-filled prayers over your children—and to trust God as their ultimate Defender. This isn't about fear. This is about raising up a generation of kingdom warriors who walk in victory because their moms chose to stand on God's promises.  So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join me as we step into this school year with courage, faith, and the assurance that those who are with us are greater than those who are against us.

Every August, we make “school year resolutions”—we're going to give better feedback, protect our time, stop doing so much. But most of those resolutions fall apart by September, not because we're undisciplined, but because we made them in a vacuum. In this episode, discover why even good principals find themselves slipping back into old habits, and how one shift makes resolutions unnecessary. If you want this year's goals to actually stick, don't make another resolution. Build a 100% Vision #LikeABuilder.

In this episode, we're talking about more than just back-to-school shopping and fresh notebooks, we're talking about how to set our kids up for a successful school year and how to set ourselves up for one too. Because if you're a mom like me, you know the school year is as much about resetting our rhythms, protecting our mental health, and staying grounded as it is about helping our kids thrive.We'll explore: • Practical ways to set the emotional tone at home so our kids leave the house feeling calm, supported, and confident • Why rhythms matter more than rigid schedules (and how to create them for both kids and parents) • Managing the invisible mental load so a “successful school year” for them doesn't equal burnout for us • How modeling emotional regulation can help our kids develop lifelong coping skillsYou'll also learn how to use the science of neuroplasticity to rewire your brain in a realistic, sustainable way, no toxic positivity here or emotional bypassing and why this work is more like strength training than instant change.Finally, we'll flip the script and talk about what Gen Z and Gen Alpha can teach us about empathy, boundaries, and emotional intelligence, and why they may be modeling skills we all need to embrace.This episode blends practical tips, mindset science, and a little heart-to-heart to help you start the school year feeling calm, connected, and ready.Rewire Your Thoughts:: Using Affirmations to Build Confidence, Relieve Stress, and Manifest Abundance - https://www.amazon.com/Rewire-Your-Thoughts-Affirmations-Confidence/dp/B0DKCY4L24/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JEQY2J1NNMKC&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.OkdSKNT19dbvy3qIlZ2tYhehaaVcMaYbmwNj5Ak6OOM.NfZW32BIbzTpST1GEFBx_yJomVtK4gSvbr69GUH9HKw&dib_tag=se&keywords=Nikki+Lanigan+Rewire+Your+Thoughts&qid=1755287581&sprefix=nikki+lanigan+rewire+your+thoughts%2Caps%2C231&sr=8-1Special Offers & Sponsors​Mantra Match – 10% off with code NIKKIWELLNESS: ⁠https://mantramatcha.com/⁠​Neeshi Protein Powder – 20% off your first order with code NIKKIYOGA20: ⁠www.neeshi.com⁠*** This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.Find Nikki online at:www.instagram.com/fitfunandfrazzledpodcastwww.instagram.com/elevate_and_align_

Hey Food Allergy Mom, One question I hear from food allergy parents is: “Is my child ready to self-carry epinephrine at school?” Sometimes we think they're ready, but the school or maybe their doctor isn't convinced. We all know that having that epinephrine available right away is important, which makes self-carrying an important option. So, how do you know they're ready, and what can you do to show the school they are? In today's episode, we're walking through what self-carry means, and I'll share some real-life tests you can do to help everyone feel confident that you're child is ready. By the end of this episode, you'll have a solid plan for figuring out if your child is ready to self-carry this school year—whether it's your child's first time or just a new grade with new expectations.  I'm cheering for you!

Across the country, K-12 teachers are prepping classrooms, reviewing lesson plans, and bracing for another school year that, for some, feels politically and personally charged. The Department of Education is slowly being dismantled by the Trump administration. In some districts, immigration officials have shown up at schools, which likely contributed to a rise in student absences last spring. And artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping what both teaching and learning look like. We hear directly from educators and what's at the top of their minds as they head into the new school year.
