Does the practice of prayer bring satisfaction? Or maybe people who are more content tend to pray? Mike Rusert and Greg Meyer have found important, evolving places for prayer in their lives and share some of their ‘why’ and give you a chance to try it yourself. Prayer takes us deep into our lives and world. And that takes practice.

Science, history, polls, and our own experience seem to say it is a basic human instinct to pray. Why is that? Can prayer be more than another way to try to control (or escape) our reality? See the Menti polls taken in the podcast below:

Think you are immune from the traps of money that motivate destructive choices every day in our society? Think again!  There are ways to get out of “the trap” but you won’t stumble into them without intention!

You definitely know this familiar word but you probably don’t like it being brought up. At least when it comes to your money. It wants to mess with you and your money, feels like it creates all kinds of problems, but it may be just what you need to solve them and answer the question of “How much is enough?”

You may know exactly what you are doing with your money, but do you know exactly what your money is doing with you? You may be surprised what your money is (and isn’t) all about!

You might say it’s your money.  You earned it, it belongs to you, and you get to decide what to do with it. Maybe, just maybe, we need to step back from starting this money conversation with ourselves in the center of the financial universe, and see where things really begin. It might just change everything!

This is the final episode of our 2023 look at Care IQ, talking about building an environment where we can support each other in the "toolbox moments" that we run into.  You'll hear the voices of Melissa Lock, Greg Meyer, Katy Lesiak, and Brother Timothy Frantzich.

Like any tool, CareIQ tools take practice to use them well, or even at all. And sometimes it helps to get a lesson from a pro. In this episode, Melissa Lock calls on CareIQ pro, Jen Markworth to give us an extra boost in our CareIQ.

A burnt-out bulb or drippy faucet is one thing, but a serious wiring issue or a burst water pipe needs some different tools!  Relationships have toolbox situations too. What tools are in your toolbox? And do you know how to use them? Jessi Bergh, MSW, joined Greg Meyer and with some help from moderator Katy Lesiak for this episode.

It’s hard enough in the best of times to "love one another" and not all times are the best of times. So what do you do when faced with the unresolvable, complex, over-your-head situations in your life or in the lives of those you love? There are no easy answers or tricks, but there is what we call CareIQ and you can raise yours!
