This Kenyan Missionary Trip 2025 Update will hopefully inform you about our two-month's work here in Kenya. Since we've been here, much work has been completed on behalf some of the widows of Kehancha and Kisii, all of which I detail in this update for you. Nevertheless, there remains so much more to do in the remaining 3-1/2 months we're here. We invite you to take a listen and hopefully you will be led to support this ministry to help lift the souls of some of Kenya's most disenfranchised and discarded individuals: the widows. Torah instructs us to not neglect either the widow or the orphan. Thus, it is our job as Messianics/Nazarene Israelites to do our best to tend to them and help them overcome their plight. qumranfamilyfoundation.org Shalom.

Losing a spouse is one of life's most painful experiences, and in the midst of grief, surviving partners are often faced with overwhelming financial decisions. From settling estates to adjusting to changes in income, the process can feel like an impossible burden to carry alone. Without a plan in place, surviving spouses may find themselves vulnerable to financial missteps at a time when clarity is hardest to find. In this episode, SHP Financial's Derek Gregoire is joined by Planning Advisor Alina Osokhovska, CFP® to explore the critical importance of financial planning for widows. With years of experience guiding families through difficult transitions, Alina explains how proper planning can bring stability, reduce stress, and provide widows with the confidence to focus on healing rather than paperwork. In this conversation, Derek and Alina unpack the key financial considerations after the loss of a spouse, from estate settlement and tax bracket changes to Social Security benefits and cash flow adjustments. They also discuss proactive strategies for couples to ensure that if the unthinkable happens, surviving spouses are not left unprotected.  Whether you are preparing for the future or currently walking through loss, this episode offers compassionate guidance and practical steps to ease the burden during one of life's most difficult transitions. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why women are statistically more likely to become widows and the financial challenges that come with it. The critical first steps when settling an estate after the loss of a spouse. How income and cash flow change when pensions, Social Security, or other benefits are reduced or lost. The hidden tax consequences widows often face and how proactive planning can help mitigate them. Advanced planning strategies for couples, including estate exemptions, step-up in basis, and inherited IRA considerations. Want the Full Show Notes?

(Example: Amy in Yuma asked God for a sign) Support foster families How many children in America need foster homes? Support Christian children's homes.

What do you say to someone who's just lost the love of their life? Is it better to stay quiet for fear of saying the wrong thing, or is silence actually the most painful response of all? In this deeply moving episode of Financially Ever After Widowhood, Stacy Francis sits down with Amy Woody, Director of the Widows Program at Stand in the Gap - and a widow herself - to talk about what real support looks like. Amy opens up about her own journey of losing her husband suddenly at 36, raising her young daughter, and discovering her calling to help other widows. Together, they explore the words and actions that truly matter when someone's world has been turned upside down. You'll hear them discuss: Why saying something is always better than saying nothing, even if it's simply “I'm so sorry” The harm of avoiding the “elephant in the room” and how acknowledging loss brings comfort Practical, concrete ways to help - from mowing the lawn to dropping off paper goods - that make a real difference The importance of building trust early so that widows feel safe enough to ask for support when they need it most How sharing memories and stories honors loved ones and helps keep their presence alive Amy's life motto of using your hurt to help others and making beauty from ashes — and how it can change the way we face our own challenges Resources Amy Woody on the Stand In The Gap | Facebook | LinkedIn | Email: amyw@sitgm.org | Phone number: 405-476-0165 Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

1 Timothy 5:3-16 "Widows, Families, and the Glory of Christ," Blake Johnson | 1 Timothy by Evangelical Fellowship Church

Dr. Lynn Banis is an Expert Transformational Coach, Speaker, Grief Mentor, Founder and Owner of “Widows Rising Together,” a vibrant and compassionate community dedicated to empowering widows navigate their new realities.  Lynn helps widows transform loneliness into connection to create a vibrant and fulfilling new life as she supports them through their challenging new chapter of life so they can be assured they have truly transformed into their best self and life.  Lynn had her own grief experience, when she lost her mother, her younger brother, and her husband, all in a three-year time span. Feeling like the rug had been pulled out from under her, she found herself in a free fall. She discovered that grief isn't just sadness; it's disorienting. She explains that no number of degrees, education, or coaching experience could have prepared her for the depth of grief that hit her like a tidal wave and left her wondering if she would ever recover.  After months of struggling for months I struggled with pain, loneliness and lack of motivation to do anything, she began to put her education as a psychologist and years of coaching to use on herself. She Identified her self-limiting beliefs and changed them to empowering ones. Then she did the same for mindset and thought patterns.  She persisted in using various tools and techniques until she came out the other side of grief and built her new life.  It was at that moment of rebuilding that she truly stepped into her power and decided that I would help other grieving widows with their grief, their struggles, and their self-doubt into stepping-stones for something greater by creating a new life, a life that they love and a life worth living through connection, abundance, love, and self-worth.   Download this positive and informative episode with its powerful message of hope and healing, along with valuable tools and tips that all of us can apply to every aspect of our life to create a life of abundance, connection, and love.

In Luke 20…Jesus continues his rebuke of the leaders of Israel. This time he points out how they are obsessed with elevating themselves, even at the expense of the most vulnerable in society.   This passage makes it very clear: the Lord tears down the house of the proud…even if it's His own house.   Every human institution - government, school, family, church - all reflect the fears of those who lead them. That's why the temple became so twisted then, and how the church has become twisted even now.  Jesus' solution to this problem is taking people on a journey from fear to love. In this passage the teachers of the law reveal that they are afraid of people, but the poor widow reveals that she fears the Lord.   Our lives are an opportunity to trust Jesus, to give Him a sacrifice, and to look to Him for provision. This type of life moves His heart and is what we were made for.   Link to Sermon Guide & Activations: 08.24.25 Sermon Guide

The human brain has a remarkable ability to adapt to both positive and negative life changes, eventually returning us to a baseline level of happiness.    When your person dies, it can feel like your happiness baseline has been permanently lowered. Many widows worry they'll never experience the same level of joy or fulfillment they once knew. But here's what modern science tells us: your happiness is changeable through consistent, intentional practice.   Join me today to learn how hedonic adaptation works like an emotional thermostat that pulls you back to your normal happiness level, what keeps some people stuck at a lower happiness set point, and how savoring micro-joys interrupts hedonic adaptation and strengthens positive neural pathways.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/326

Send us a textGrief comes in many forms, but society often ranks and responds to them differently. Research suggests that divorce—particularly after betrayal—can be more painful than losing a spouse to death, though making this claim often raises eyebrows. The key difference lies not in the intensity of pain, but in how we process these losses and how others respond to our suffering.When someone dies, you're permitted to keep loving them. Your memories remain untainted, and their absence, while devastating, doesn't force you to question if anything was ever real. With divorce after betrayal, every memory becomes suspect. That anniversary trip? Was your spouse texting their affair partner throughout? That family Christmas? Was it all a performance? This questioning of your entire shared history creates a unique form of trauma.Society's response amplifies this pain. Widows receive casseroles, company at church, and flowers on anniversaries. Divorcees often face silence and isolation. As one client repeatedly expressed, feeling "rejected" compounds the abandonment. Co-parenting requires regularly facing the source of your pain—like voluntarily stepping into fire multiple times weekly. The healing journey demands moving from love to temporary hatred before reaching neutrality, a complex emotional path not required when grieving death.This isn't about comparing tragedies or diminishing the profound grief of losing a spouse to death. Rather, it's a call for equal compassion and understanding for different forms of loss. Both experiences require deep healing, support, and time. If someone you know is going through divorce, especially after betrayal, consider showing up for them with the same care you'd offer a widow. They're grieving too, just in a different way. Sometimes the person who needs a meal delivered or company on a hard day isn't who we traditionally think needs support—but they're hurting just the same.Ready to transform your post-betrayal journey?

Meg Wolitzer presents stories by the incomparable Margaret Atwood, drawn from SELECTED SHORTS' archives and a live performance evening hosted by the author. “There Was Once” is a brief satire about the art of writing and the importance of free speech. It's performed by René Auberjonois, Zach Grenier, and Jane Kaczmarek. “Widows,” performed by Ellen Burstyn, is a delicate and ironic tale in which a recently widowed woman becomes accustomed to her new role. And Atwood is in full dystopian throttle in “Freeforall” where reproductive rights have become a matter of life and death. The reader is Becky Ann Baker. Portions of Atwood's onstage talk with fellow writer A.M. Homes are also featured, and the full interview is available as a bonus on our podcast.
