The Daily LEAD

In this episode, with the help of Dr. Kristen Contos Krueger, we explore the profound impact of sacred practices within the home and how they bring us closer to experiencing God in our daily lives. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the spiritual depth that family traditions, rituals, and intentional moments of connection can bring into our homes. 

In today's episode we dive deep into the journey of healing and the importance of examining our progress along the way. Healing is rarely a straight line, and often we can feel stuck, unsure if we're truly moving forward. In this conversation, we’ll explore the ways we can recognize growth, even in the smallest moments, and how checking in with ourselves can provide clarity, motivation, and hope. Whether you're at the beginning of your healing journey or somewhere in the middle, this episode is all about helping you understand that progress, however small, is still progress.

In this episode, we welcome Rev. Dr. Javier Alanis where we're diving into the profound impact of rituals and traditions on family faith. In a fast-paced world, these cherished practices serve as anchors, keeping families connected to each other and to their faith. We’ll explore how rituals—big or small—create a rhythm of meaning, bringing the sacred into everyday life. From weekly gatherings to holiday traditions, these moments become more than just actions; they’re powerful reminders of who we are and where we come from. Let's uncover why embracing these practices is so essential to nurturing a lasting, vibrant faith in our homes.

In this episode we discuss forgiveness. Forgiveness is often misunderstood as a sign of weakness or something we do solely for others, but in reality, it’s one of the most empowering choices we can make for ourselves. From personal relationships to professional settings, the act of letting go of resentment and making peace with past hurts can pave the way for healing, growth, and inner freedom. In this episode, we’ll explore what forgiveness really means, why it’s so important for mental and emotional health, and how you can start embracing it in your own life. So, let’s unpack the journey toward forgiveness and discover the peace it can bring.

In this episode we explore a phrase we often hear: Inner Peace. But what is inner peace and what are some steps we can take to begin to achieve it in our lives. 

This week we wrap up our conversation on the Five Behaviors. The fifth behavior is the one all the other behaviors point to- results. How does a team go about ensuring that its attention is focused on results? By making them clear and rewarding behaviors and actions that contribute to those results. But in the instance of the Five Behaviors we are speaking about the results of the entire organization, not individual results or team results. In this week’s podcast episode we speak to Candice Adkins, Director of Chrysalis Christian Preschool, who recently went through the Five Behaviors with her entire team, to discuss the importance of The Five Behaviors and the results she has already seen in her team.
