    May 29 2024
    Should men and women try to break free from traditional roles in their marriage? And who decides what's right for each gender?

They dive deep into the importance of aligning priorities, maintaining unity in marriage, and respecting each partner's strengths and contributions. Discussing everything from Harrison Butker's comments on gender roles to their own non-traditional approach, they emphasize the importance of choice and shared decision-making within the family unit.


    They discuss the power of intentionality, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the centrality of Christ in navigating the challenges of family life. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that encourages mutual respect, shared responsibilities, and an appreciation for each other's unique contributions in the sacred journey of marriage and family.

    Don't miss their insights on fostering unity, effective communication, and supporting each other's true desires.

  • Worship Takeover! An Insiders Look at Music, Ministry and Industry | The God and Gigs Show | S6 E34
    May 22 2024

    It's a take-over episode for the ages - as The Family Business meets Metro Life Worship in a episode with The God and Gigs Show!

    In late 2023, worship leader Stephanie Muiña was interviewed by our producer / fellow worship musician Allen C. Paul on his podcast, The God and Gigs Show, and it was a perfect example of how we navigate relationships and family in worship and the music industry.

    The God and Gigs Show is a podcast and community for Christian creatives, musicians and entrepreneurs helping them to thrive as they work in the mainstream arts and entertainment field.

    Together, you'll hear Stephanie and Allen open up about things you rarely hear from worship leaders, such as:

    - How they lead a local team while still making an impact globally
    - Whether creatives can stay organized
    - Developing consistency in character in a ministry
    - Handling the pressure of family expectations and church roles
    - Knowing when to be patient as your ministry and gifts mature

    This "feed-drop" episode will show you what it really means to expand your family business into all new areas, and give you a birds-eye view into a creative process few people ever get to witness.

    Have you ever had to take a stand for someone else - someone who needed your support even though you had a very different background?

    In this powerful interview, Steve Alessi, along with Community Newspapers host Fara Sax and Rabbi Robyn Fisher of Beth Or, shares powerful insights and real-life experiences on the battle against antisemitism.

    From personal journeys to community initiatives, our hosts and guests discuss the impact of education, empathy, and building relationships in creating a united front against hate. You'll be enlightened on the importance of leadership, partnership, and the ongoing fight for peace and understanding.

    Even when the news media and political debates seem to make more noise than sense, it's important to see where bridges are being built and solid relationships are being formed in our communities.

    Listen to see how that is possible even in the most unlikely of circumstances.

    This interview originally aired on Community Newspapers YouTube channel, 4/25/24.
