Send us a textWhat happens when the world seems to move on after a devastating loss, but you're left picking up the pieces while simultaneously caring for grieving children? In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the critical work of Widowed Parent Relief Project (WPRP) and how they're transforming support for families experiencing profound loss.Kelly, WPRP's founder, reveals the science-backed approach behind their services, explaining that the number one predictor of how well children adjust to losing a parent is directly tied to the functioning level of the surviving parent. This crucial insight drives their mission to alleviate everyday stressors through practical services like home cleaning and organizing, while simultaneously building enduring support systems that prevent the isolation so many widowed parents experience.The discussion takes us deep into the rarely discussed "secondary losses" that accompany the death of a spouse – the 20-50 additional losses that cascade through a family's life, from social connections to practical skills the deceased partner handled. We learn how simple things like maintaining a yard, organizing paperwork, or even operating electronic devices can become painful reminders of absence and sources of overwhelming stress. As Kelly notes, "When you have this big grief, the things that ordinarily are life's burdens feel like the weight of the world on your shoulders."Beyond exploring these challenges, the conversation offers hope through WPRP's innovative two-pronged approach: providing paid services to reduce practical burdens while assigning family friend volunteers who serve as liaisons between widowed parents and communities that want to help but don't know how. These compassionate strategies create breathing room for grief while ensuring families don't face their journey alone.Whether you're personally touched by loss, know someone who is, or simply believe in the power of community support during life's most challenging moments, this episode will transform how you think about grief, parenting, and what it truly means to help when help is needed most.

Send us a textLife can change in an instant. Kelly Orrico knows this firsthand. After surviving a catastrophic stroke at age 38 that nearly took her life, Kelly found herself questioning her purpose and why she had been spared when doctors had no explanation for what caused her stroke in the first place.The story Kelly shares is nothing short of extraordinary. From the stranger who mysteriously appeared with her dog and entered her home to help, to the paramedic who broke protocol by taking her to the one hospital in Atlanta with the technology to save her, to the supernatural experience of feeling her late mother's presence during the ambulance ride – every moment seems divinely orchestrated. But the heart of Kelly's journey comes after survival. Battling post-stroke depression and constantly questioning her purpose, Kelly describes years of seeking direction through prayer and Bible study. The answer finally came when she recognized a critical gap in support for widowed parents after the initial wave of sympathy fades. Drawing from personal experience helping others and the biblical call to care for widows and orphans, Kelly founded the Widowed Parent Relief Project (WPRP), a nonprofit providing tangible, ongoing support when everyone else has moved on.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is Kelly's insight into grief support. She explains why the common "let me know if you need anything" approach fails grieving people who are overwhelmed by decision-making and often don't know what they need. Her organization addresses this by providing specific, concrete assistance rather than vague offers of help.The final confirmation of Kelly's mission came in discovering that National Widows Day falls on May 3rd – the very day that had haunted her questions about the timing of her stroke. In that moment, her entire journey clicked into place, revealing how her struggles had prepared her to serve others in their darkest moments.Has Kelly's story stirred something in you? Consider how you might better support those grieving in your community, or reflect on whether you're living with the kind of purpose that acknowledges the preciousness of each day.

This is an inspiring and impactful episode with Rachel Davis, founder of Children's Promise Centers, an early childhood program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Operating 20 hours daily, her centers provide critical support for working families often overlooked by traditional child care models.   Rachel chats with Kris about her journey from the Denver Rescue Mission to creating a faith-driven, community-focused child care network where high standards, deep relationships, and genuine care intersect.   She shares the heart behind her mission to support nontraditional working families through innovative programming and reflects on her leadership evolution, from being hands-on with every detail to stepping into a visionary role. Rachel also discusses navigating hiring challenges, working with refugee families, and building a program where inclusion, safety, and excellence are the foundation.   Key Takeaways: [5:33] Rachel launched Children's Promise Centers in 2009. Now she operates two locations in Albuquerque and is open 20 hours a day, serving families who need flexible care. [6:37] Her journey began in Denver at the Rescue Mission, where she discovered a passion for supporting the working poor. [10:50] Starting Children's Promise wasn't easy — Rachel faced funding barriers and self-doubt but found clarity by leaning into faith. [13:29] One grant rejection helped her clarify her mission — family support, not just academic outcomes. [16:35] Rachel became an early adopter of online learning tools and video systems long before it was common in child care. [22:21] Her passion is serving the working poor — families who don't qualify for help but still struggle to access care. [24:10] Children's Promise is the only program in Albuquerque open until 2 a.m., meeting a unique community need. [24:45] Monthly family dinners offer a chance for connection, storytelling, and celebration. [25:58] Her team focuses on relational care, celebrating small wins, like a child's first steps. [27:00] They've supported families who are refugees, including children with medical needs and trauma backgrounds. [30:24] Security is high-tech, featuring “James Bond-style” systems and extensive training for staff. [32:19] Rachel reflects on her shift from being in every detail to trusting her team with day-to-day operations. [36:40] She now focuses more on visionary leadership, delegating while maintaining accountability. [41:04] Her staff go through the same training she'd want for someone caring for her own kids. [43:54] One of her locations features an open-concept floor plan, encouraging transparency and teamwork. [50:39] She speaks on the power of prayer and being intentional about the energy she puts into her work. [52:04] It's not about growing for growth's sake but also about community development and showing up with excellence. [53:15] Rachel reminds us: Don't grow until your heart and leadership are ready.   Quotes: “I've always had a passion for the working poor, and I like to say that because it's not those that are homeless, but they're working to try and get a hand up, but they just can't, and they just don't get the same quality and excellence as others. And so that's really where a lot of my passion has come from.” — Rachel [22:45] “We create kind of a relational community approach to everything. So whether it's our staff or families or whoever it may be, we're all about building the community and working with the resources around us.” — Rachel [21:32] “The other big thing is just wins, to celebrate each other, right? Even if little Johnny just took their first step, let's celebrate that, because it's a big deal to those families.” — Rachel [25:58] “I've always told people, I'm not going to put them in our program if I wouldn't leave them with my own kids.” — Rachel [41:04] “We're about the community and how we develop, not about just necessarily growing the business. We're about community and helping people develop and grow, and that's our focus.” — Rachel [52:04] “We want to do everything with excellence, and the only way to do that is to put my heart in.” — Rachel [53:15]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Children's Promise Centers

What is a calling? How does it shape our work and life? What's the hidden cost of pursuing it (and what can we do about it)? In this engaging, high-energy conversation, Michael and Megan sit down with Dr. Arianna Molloy—calling researcher, author, and professor—to unpack the power and pitfalls of purpose-driven work.Arianna reveals the four key elements of a true calling, practical safeguards to prevent burnout, and three concrete shifts anyone in any field can make to start experiencing a greater sense of purpose and meaning at work.  She also explains why humility—not just passion—is the key to sustainable success. If you've ever struggled to balance meaningful work with a healthy life, this episode is a must-listen.Memorable Quotes“Burnout from a calling isn't just, ‘I don't know what I'm doing anymore.' It's, ‘I don't know who I am anymore.'”“To learn how to rest well, to learn how to have good boundaries actually protects that healthy sense of your calling.”“It is so important that work is not all that you have and all that you are because, guess what? At the end of the day, [your work] is going to change and shift… If we hold that with a closed hand, it's not going to go well.”“[Calling is] really relational. It's a relationship with yourself, the caller, and it's a relationship with the community that you impact.”“Most of the time, [calling] happens upon reflection… In the moment, it's not so obvious. This subtle sense of peace, or just a feeling like, ‘I think this is right.'”“We don't honor that need and importance of play as much as we could.”“The lynchpin is humility. Part of humility is the willingness to learn more, to know that you don't know everything and that is not a threat—it's actually exciting.”Key TakeawaysThe Bright and Dark Sides of Calling. A strong sense of purpose can fuel motivation, but without boundaries, it can also lead to burnout and identity loss.The Four Elements of a True Calling. Calling isn't just about passion—it requires meaning, an identified caller, skill development, and a connection to community.How to Reframe Your Work. Even if your current job doesn't feel like a calling, job crafting—adjusting your tasks, relationships, or mindset—can create a deeper sense of meaning.The Role (and Definition) of Humility. True calling requires both confidence in your strengths and an openness to growth and makes it possible to step away from work without guilt.The Power of Rest.

Scott Slusher grew up around horses and ranching his whole life but never got the opportunity to really dive in like he wanted to. He didn't really know what he wanted to pursue as a career and ended up attending fashion school. That led him into an internship with a photographer. He fell in love with photography but wanted to branch out of fashion. He figured it all out after the first time he got to tag along to the RA Brown Ranch with some new friends he made. Scott is able to capture some really cool ranching shots and is widely known across our industry. He's also able to connect western brands to real cowboys to promote their products.

Stepping Into Your True Calling: Walking in God's Blessing by Avoiding Self-Appointment • Sunday Service   Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this important work: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   In the body of Christ, not everyone is called to the five-fold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers). While some are called to these offices, many have misallocated themselves, stepping into roles they were never anointed for. This is why many believers feel stuck, frustrated, and ineffective—because they are operating outside of God's divine appointment. God has promised that when we walk in our true calling, whatever we touch will be blessed and wherever we walk will prosper. But that promise is conditional—it only applies when we are in the right place, doing what He has truly called us to do. If we misstep and self-appoint ourselves, we risk missing the greatest blessings God has for us. Let's dive into the Word to understand why misalignment leads to stagnation and why true fulfillment comes from walking in our God-given assignment. 1. The Five-Fold Ministry Is Given by Christ, Not Self-Appointed Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” 2. Not Everyone is Called to Be a Teacher or Pastor James 3:1 (NKJV) “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” 3. Every Part of the Body Has a Function 1 Corinthians 12:14-18 (NKJV) “For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,' is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” 4. God Calls, He Does Not Need Human Approval Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 5. Many People Run Without Being Sent Jeremiah 23:21 (NKJV) “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” 6. True Blessing Comes From Alignment Deuteronomy 11:24 (NKJV) “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours.” 7. Many Are Stuck Because They Are Not in Their True Calling Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NKJV) “If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success.” 8. Jesus Himself Appointed Disciples Mark 3:14 (NKJV) “Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.” 9. Operating Outside of Your Calling Leads to Trouble Acts 19:13-16 (NKJV) “Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits… But the evil spirit answered and said, ‘Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?' Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them.” 10. The Key to Success is Obedience Deuteronomy 28:1 (NKJV) “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God… the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”   God's greatest blessings come when we obey His voice.

Join the Facebook Group: All Things Very CariNOW ON YOUTUBEIn this episode, Cari unpacks the miraculous story of the widow's oil from 2 Kings 4:1-7, where Elisha instructs a desperate widow to gather empty jars, and God fills them with oil beyond measure. This powerful narrative is a reminder of God's provision, faithfulness, and how He can use what we already have to create abundance. Cari dives into the spiritual lessons of trusting God in times of lack, taking bold steps of faith, and allowing Him to fill the “empty jars” of our lives. Tune in for inspiration to see how God is ready to move in your own story, no matter how little you think you have.Verses:2 Kings 4:1-7 - The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one." But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”URHERE Information- www.verycaripodcast.com/urhereConnect with Cari:Instagram: instagram.com/carithompsonrnFacebook: www.facebook.com/cari.ayres.3Website:     VeryCariPodcast.com

Join the Facebook Group: All Things Very CariNOW ON YOUTUBEIn this episode, Cari delves into the powerful parables of Luke 15: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These timeless stories reveal God's immense love for His people and His relentless pursuit of those who are lost. Cari explores the deep meaning behind each parable, discussing themes of repentance, redemption, and the joy in heaven over every sinner who turns back to God. Whether you've felt distant from God or need a reminder of His love, this episode is an invitation to reflect on His grace and His desire to bring you home.Verses:Luke 15:11-23 - Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.  After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!  I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.'  So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.  Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate.URHERE Information- www.verycaripodcast.com/urhereConnect with Cari:Instagram: instagram.com/carithompsonrnFacebook: www.facebook.com/cari.ayres.3Website:     VeryCariPodcast.com
