Pastor Tim Helland joins host Wendy Jones on Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging to discuss how faith and perspective can transform the way we face life’s trials especially while caring for aging loved ones. Drawing from personal experience as a caregiver and a father, Pastor Tim shares how biblical truth brings lasting hope in the midst of grief, stress, and uncertainty. He reflects on the emotional and physical toll caregiving takes—citing that 70% of caregivers over 65 die before the person they care for and emphasizes the importance of spiritual resilience. Using Scripture like James 1:2 (“Consider it pure joy when you face trials…”), he explains how true blessing is found not in comfort, but in trusting God’s eternal kingdom. This conversation offers encouragement, reminding listeners that real hope isn’t in this life alone, but in the life to come.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at common misconceptions surrounding community colleges and set the record straight on what today's two-year institutions truly offer. Ford addresses the long-standing myth that community colleges are a “second option” for students who cannot attend a four-year university, emphasizing instead the intentional choice many students make for affordability, accessibility, and quality. He also challenges the perception that community college faculty are less qualified, noting that many instructors hold advanced degrees and bring extensive real-world and academic experience -- often comparable to, or exceeding, their counterparts at four-year institutions. The conversation highlights how Northeast delivers the same foundational courses found at universities at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing academic rigor. Ford explains that while community colleges are often associated with career and technical education, they also play a critical role in preparing students for seamless transfer to four-year institutions, all while helping students enter the workforce with significantly less debt. Student life is another area where misconceptions persist. Ford discusses the wide array of opportunities available at Northeast, from campus events and intramural sports to clubs and student organizations -- sometimes rivaling or even surpassing offerings at larger schools. He also underscores one of the biggest advantages of the community college experience: smaller class sizes and a more personalized learning environment, which continue to attract students seeking stronger faculty engagement and support. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

In this 24th Episode of Ageing Gracefully, we embark on the “Supervised Care for the Elderly - Part 1”. This can be a thorny topic, ‎‎especially when faced with the dilemma - of caring for a loved one in the family home or, in some cases, a measured decision ‎to move ‎into a Senior Citizens Home. This is not an easy decision, but paramount is – the need to provide the best possible ‎supervised care.‎The panel consists of Dr John Tharakan, who once again, enriches us with his wealth of knowledge and experience. We also have Sr ‎‎Reena Philips SSPS who has been instrumental in beginning and then, being very involved in one such Home for Seniors in Bangalore. ‎‎Fr Juventius Andrade anchors this program while drawing on his pastoral experiences and insights. We trust that these discussions will ‎‎enable you to make the best-informed decision - as the talk show navigates through some of these issues.‎

Lt. Colonel Marvin Suber Williams, a highly decorated U.S. Air Force veteran with nearly thirty years of combined military leadership and senior federal service, is running as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York's 4th Congressional District, a crucial swing region encompassing parts of Nassau County and Long Island. Raised in a working-class New York family after being born at the Naval Hospital in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, Williams positions his 2026 congressional campaign as a direct solution for voters seeking an outsider who values personal responsibility over partisan political games. His economic platform aggressively targets inflation and the rising cost of living on Long Island, advocating for lower taxes on middle-class families, the preservation of the crucial State and Local Tax deduction, and a halt to reckless federal spending in Washington. Emphasizing public safety and national security, his platform aligns closely with traditional conservative principles, focusing on strong support for law enforcement, strict criminal justice accountability, securing the southern border with physical barriers, and enforcing the deportation of criminal illegal aliens. Drawing heavily from his experience as an operational military leader and Chief Academic Officer, Williams champions deep reforms for the Department of Veterans Affairs, enhanced cyber defense, and an ironclad foreign policy that includes standing firmly with democratic allies like Israel. As voters across the district evaluate candidates for the primary and the November 2026 general election, the Marvin Williams for Congress movement aims to build a broad coalition of New Yorkers dedicated to fiscal responsibility, safe communities, and constitutional limits on government power, inviting grassroots support through campaign donations and volunteer participation. WEB: https://marvinforcongress.com/ ABOUT: Lt. Colonel Marvin Williams is a visionary military leader, executive strategist, and premier keynote speaker with a proven track record of driving operational excellence in high-stakes environments. Throughout a distinguished career spanning more than twenty years in the United States military, Lt. Col. Williams has commanded elite units, managed multi-million-dollar logistical operations, and advised top-tier defense officials on critical global strategy. Specializing in cross-functional team building and organizational resilience, Lt. Col. Williams seamlessly bridges the gap between battlefield command and boardroom execution. His signature leadership frameworks empower corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to navigate complex business landscapes, mitigate risk, and cultivate a culture of accountability. Beyond his operational achievements, Lt. Colonel Williams is a highly sought-after corporate trainer and motivational speaker. His engaging presentations focus on actionable leadership development, agile decision-making under pressure, and the psychology of elite performance. Whether addressing Fortune 500 executives or academic institutions, his mission remains the same: transforming potential into purposeful, high-impact leadership. - Ready to ignite the spark that levels up your entire life?

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how the challenges facing today's students have evolved dramatically over the past 40 years. With decades of experience in education, Ford reflects on how institutions like Northeast must now prepare students for a world that is constantly changing -- one that looks far different from the stable, predictable career paths of the past. From navigating rapid technological advancement to addressing digital misinformation and emerging social and ethical issues, today's educational landscape requires a broader, more adaptive approach. Ford also highlights the growing importance of teaching students how to live independently and responsibly in a fast-paced, digital-first society -- something that simply was not part of the conversation decades ago. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Identity theft criminals highly target some of the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. With a growing increase in identity fraud and other scams today, it's critical that we do our parts to protect those in our lives most at risk of identity scams and especially elder abuse.  Links: Learn more and get helpful resources from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) To learn more about how to recognize, help prevent, and respond to elder mistreatment, visit the National Center on Elder Abuse  Learn more about the identity protection benefits with a Better Checking account Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!

Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.   At Triangle, protecting the financial well-being of you and your loved ones is a top priority. June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the financial exploitation and other forms of abuse that disproportionately affect older adults. Elder abuse can take many forms. It could be physical, emotional, or financial, and it could be due to neglect or due to exploitation. Often, elder abuse goes unreported due to fear, shame, or isolation.  Did you know?  Financial exploitation is the most common form of elder abuse—and it often goes unnoticed until significant damage is done. Scams, fraud, and even manipulation by trusted individuals can leave lifelong financial and emotional impacts.  How you can help:  Learn the warning signs of financial abuse  Financial abuse doesn't always look obvious—and that's what makes it so dangerous. It can start subtly: a sudden spike in withdrawals or transfers, unfamiliar charges, or changes in spending patterns that just don't seem to add up. You might notice unpaid bills piling up—even though your loved one has more than enough money to cover them. Other warning signs include new names appearing on accounts, unexpected changes to wills or power of attorney, or unfamiliar individuals accompanying your loved one to financial appointments and speaking on their behalf.  Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it's worth taking a closer look. Staying informed about these red flags is one of the most powerful ways to step in early and help protect someone you care about.   Learn more about common ways older adults may be at risk and get access to helpful resources from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at consumerfinance.gov or use the link in the show notes.  Check in regularly with older family members  Consistent, meaningful connection is one of the strongest defenses against financial exploitation. Social isolation can make older adults more vulnerable—not just to scams, but to manipulation by people they trust. That's why regular check-ins matter so much.  These don't have to be formal conversations about money. A simple phone call, a coffee visit, or asking how things are going can open the door for your loved one to share concerns. Over time, these check-ins build trust and create a safe environment where they feel comfortable speaking up if something doesn't seem right. It's not just about vigilance—it's about showing care, maintaining dignity, and helping them feel supported every step of the way.  Report suspicious financial activity  If you notice something unusual—whether it's account activity that doesn't make sense or changes in behavior that raise concern—don't wait. Acting quickly can prevent further loss and protect your loved one from deeper harm.  Start by contacting your financial institution to flag the activity—they can often help monitor accounts, stop transactions, or add safeguards. You can also reach out to your local Adult Protective Services, who are trained to investigate and intervene in cases of suspected abuse.  Speaking up might feel uncomfortable, but it can make a critical difference. Reporting concerns is not about causing trouble—it's about protecting someone's well-being and ensuring they have the support they need.  Together, we can help protect the financial independence and dignity of older adults in our community.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (5.29) Conway kicks off the hour with a classic showbiz throwback: when Johnny Carson liked a comedian, he waved them over to the couch — and now Neil gets the couch treatment! Conway also recaps hosting the 2026 ACG Awards Gala, the “Oscars for Business,” celebrating major middle-market companies across Orange County and the Inland Empire. Big shoutout to Consolidated Contracting and all the companies expanding, building, and staying bullish. Then the crew dives into Hawaiian Airlines cutting free hot meals in the Main Cabin on most mainland flights, replacing them with prepaid meals from chef Sheldon Simeon. Conway jokes that Main Cabin is where “the animals” sit, which launches a hilarious conversation about airplane behavior, first-class air rage, fame, privacy, and why being famous may not be worth the headache. Later, the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck, the King of Romance, is coming into the studio at 90 years old with new music. The Foosh grew up on Engelbert and knows all the hits, leading to a perfect game show idea: “Seniors, Name That Tune.” The hour wraps with a look back at the final Carol Burnett Show in 1978, which drew around 30 million viewers, plus a wild Santa Monica story involving a mountain lion roaming the neighborhood before being immobilized.

The only coalition in Oregon that supports aging members of LGBTQ+ communities is expanding its reach.   Over the past decade, the Oregon LGBTQ+ Aging Coalition has conducted a survey on the needs of older LGBTQ+ adults and helped pass legislation that aims to protect queer seniors living in long-term care facilities. It’s currently a volunteer-run effort, but a new collaboration with the nonprofit AGE+ will allow the group to hire its first paid staff and eventually assume its own nonprofit status.   Brandy Penner is the executive director of the Coalition. She joins us to talk about the new partnership and the needs of this population.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how Northeast continues to maintain its close-knit, personal feel as higher education evolves. Ford discusses how students at Northeast are more than just a number, highlighting the importance of faculty who know their students by name, advisors who take a vested interest in individual success, and a Student Success Center that supports students through challenges. He explains how the college actively listens to the needs of the community and the workforce, adapting programs and training to meet those demands while still preserving a personalized student experience. The conversation also explores how Northeast tailors workforce training for both new and established employees, ensuring alignment with industry expectations. Inside the classroom, Ford emphasizes the value of traditional instruction, where faculty-led lectures and meaningful engagement help students fully understand their field of study -- so much so that they can confidently explain it to others. Balancing innovation and tradition remains a key focus, as Northeast works to meet workforce needs while maintaining small class sizes, accessible faculty, and a vibrant campus life. Ford underscores that the Northeast experience is built on personal connections -- not a one-size-fits-all approach, but one rooted in individual attention and community. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

This whole thing started because Sedro-Woolley high school teacher LinseyKitchens saw the people in her life struggle with the Internet. Specifically, she sawthem struggle with what to believe and how to engage their critical thinking skills. Whether that was a teenager in her classroom, convinced that if they bought aprotein powder from their favorite influencer, it would make them stronger andmore popular. Or the senior citizens in her life, who went down rabbit holes ofconspiracy theories online. Or fell for online scams. So Kitchens became obsessed with teaching media literacy to people of all ages.She even won a fellowship at the University of Washington’s Center for anInformed Public where she studied how teachers can incorporate media literacyinto their classrooms. This past spring, she created a day-long event where teens and seniors could spendthe day together, at what you might call a “giant skills swap.” The teenagers gavepresentations about how AI scrapes information from reliable and unreliablesources.While the seniors gave presentations about animal rescue and how to fix aflat tire. But the event almost didn’t happen, because one of those groups was scared toengage with the other group. SoundSide’s Kyle Norris was at the event, called “Ageless Intelligence,” and hasthis story.
