Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Loving a Child Through a Medical Crisis Part 2 With Elias & Joy Hajjar
Q: What pearls of wisdom would you offer to a parent in the hospital right now?
Believe in your own strength, stay hopeful, and seek practical support from your community while remaining honest about what you need.
What Your Marriage Is Teaching Your Kids With Paul & Karen Kinan
Q: What would you do differently if you could go back?
Be more present with the children, reduce distractions, and be intentional about morning prayers and Sunday church participation.
What Your Marriage Is Teaching Your Kids With Paul & Karen Kinan
Q: Did you ever feel underqualified to raise your kids in the faith?
Yes. The kids often know more theology than the parents, so the strategy is to learn together and grow in faith as a family.
Gratitude & Overcoming Materialism With Paul and Cindy Karos
Q: My daughter is obsessed with expensive things, how can I lead her toward heavenly things instead of trends?
Ask non-judgmental questions to understand what's important to her, consider letting her spend her own money to learn value, avoid lecturing, and model and reinforce generosity over possessions.
Why Orthodox Church Camp Changes Kids for Life With Father Andrew Andrews
Q: How does camp influence a child's sense of belonging in the church when they return to school and everyday life?
Camp creates a safe, community-oriented environment where kids experience concrete expressions of faith, which helps them carry those patterns home and remain connected to the church even after the week ends.
