    3.6 The Power of Parenthood: A Focus on Fathers with Tim Rarick
    Jun 12 2024
    The Importance of Fathers: A Conversation with Tim Rarick In this episode of Currents, hosts Dana and Shannon engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Tim Rarick,a professor at BYU Idaho specializing in marriage, family, and human development. The conversation centers around the critical role of fathers in both parenting and society. Tim discusses his experiences speaking at the United Nations on the importance of fatherhood, addressing how societal and media influences often downplay the value of fathers. He emphasizes that his primary identity is as a father and husband, despite his academic credentials. The episode explores how fathers can combat toxic masculinity, contribute uniquely to their children’s development,and strengthen family dynamics. Practical advice for fathers, whether married or estranged from their children's mothers,is also provided, along with insights on how to build interdependent relationships between men and women. The discussion reveals that strengthening familial relationships is foundational to positively impacting society. “I just found that the better husband I am, I naturally become a better father, and if I’m doing well at those, and it’s not just time allotment, it has more to do with focus and where my heart is.” Tim Rarick “I think if we recognize that role first, you as a father, me as a mother, then it does influence everything that we do, every decision we make and where we’re going with our lives.” - Dana Robb “It’s been said by Uri Bronfenbrenner, ‘The family is the most humane, the most economical, and by far the most powerful system known for building competence and character.’ He said that in the mid 80s after researching this quite a bit… but I wonder what he would say now. I still believe that statement is true, that the family has that potential. Sadly, what we’re seeing…is with the rise of screen media, we have now a competitor with parents.” - Tim Rarick “Research shows that fatherless boys have a greater tendency to become toxic males than boys who have involved fathers.” - Tim Rarick “It’s the whole idea that power equates worth, and you’ll get power any way you can get it, that’s toxic masculinity. And fathers who are involved and loving are one of the best antidotes to that.” - Tim Rarick “Fatherless girls are more susceptible to believing that all men are toxic or allowing toxic men to use them.” - Tim Rarick “The family is never stronger than the marriage.” - Tim Rarick “What can I do to be intentional about my marriage rather than just being on autopilot? Because that will make you a much better father.” - Tim Rarick “Sure, have a big goal, but break it down to something bite sized and what’s the next good thing that you can do, and make sure you’re doing it with the right heart because if you’re not, you’re going to run into obstacles and you may quit early.” - Tim Rarick “I am hopeful that any person can change and anybody can improve their relationships.” - Tim Rarick “Changing the world begins with changing the home.” - Dana Robb “No matter where you’re at, what you’ve experienced, we all can decide what we’re going to do moving forward as husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, or sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, we’re all a member of somebody’s family, and we decide what we can do moving forward, if we get the right influences and we get the right information. Everyone can change, and there’s always a brighter future ahead.” - Tim Rarick Tim Rarick is a husband and father first and foremost. He is also a professor at BYU-Idaho, a public speaker, writer, family advocate, and a Latter-Day Saint.

  • 3.5 Be the Change— Celeste Mergen, author of The Power of Days talks to Dana Robb and Shannon Russell about making change in the world

    3.5 Be the Change— Celeste Mergen, author of The Power of Days talks to Dana Robb and Shannon Russell about making change in the world
    May 29 2024

    Dana and Shannon meet with Celeste Mergens, founder of Days for Girls and author of the book, The Power of Days to discuss how we are empowered by our feminine nature and honoring our procreative power.

    “Today, Days for Girls has reached 145 countries. . . including the USA.

    And in fact, I guarantee right where everyone listening to this is, it's happening in our backyard because anywhere where you have to choose between food and a pad, if you need a new job and you have to choose between fuel in the gas tank and pads, you're going to choose fuel to go get the next job, right?” - Celeste Mergens

    “It turns out that this small thing that I woke up with to astonishment is a big deal. And sometimes small things create tremendous change.” - Celeste Mergens

    “It's amazing what happens when we see each other, value each other, and listen to each other.” - Celeste Mergens

    “We need to listen first, and then build a solution together and then enact it together with the power of we. . . it's pay attention, don't judge, keep working.” - Celeste Mergens

    “We all have different experiences. We all came with different talents. And that means two really important things. One, we want to hear from the people that think differently than us. We don't have to be afraid of them. We can say, I don't understand. Help me see your mountains. And meet them halfway. And two, It means that the very things that we think are weaknesses, that we're mired in, we don't often see our genius. We don't often see our strengths . . . and we don't see the miracles sometimes because we're in our own path, but when you have that bigger perspective and you invite others in and you build together, amazing things happen. We are in a miracle. No matter what part of our life we're in, we are all part of miracles.” - Celeste Mergens

    “Now I get to do the things I'm doing today, and I know there are nexts. And what happens when we're in the middle of our now, sometimes we feel like there is no more coming. Sometimes we feel like I have made my choices, and this is my limit. This is my limit. But in truth, God has so much in store when you say, ‘Yes.’ When you say, ‘Whatever it is, yes. I will do the smallest thing, the biggest thing. It doesn't matter to me. Just tell me what the thing is and I'll lean all in.’” - Celeste Mergens

    “I am so glad I said yes to my family and, and that beautiful opportunity that is my greatest blessing, even today, because it didn't mean it was closing the door on the other opportunities to use my fullness of my intellect and capacity. Because honestly, a mother takes all the things, right? So it prepared me to be a global CEO.” - Celeste Mergens

    “Sometimes the hardest things turn out to be the thing we needed.” - Celeste Mergens

    “We actually matter in every role we hold and each one of them is like a jewel. So live the jewel. Don't fight it. Don't feel like you aren't enough. There's no time for that or energy for that.” - Celeste Mergens

    “Every woman's life is like a song, and we don't have to sing every verse at once.” - Shannon Russell

    “I just would like to encourage everyone to know that one pebble really can move a big ocean. One action, one day at a time really adds up to this amazing miracle. We're all part of: life.” - Celeste Mergens

    Celeste Mergens is an author and sought-after speaker. Founder of Days for Girls, a global award-winning organization that has reached over 3 million women and girls in 145 countries, she has filled three passports with global evidence that what connects us is far more than what divides us.

    A specialist in resilience, equity, building teams, and bridging cultural divides, she has been featured in Oprah’s O Magazine and Forbes and been named Conscious Company Global Impact Entrepreneur Top Ten Women, and Women's Economic Forum's Woman of the Decade, to name a few. Her #1 bestselling book, The Power of Days–A Story of Resilience, Dignity, and The Fight for Women's Equity, shares inspiring proof that we can all make a difference.

    Whenever presented with the opportunity for adventure, Dana Robb is all in. Currently, this includes riding the local mountain biking trails with her husband, canyoneering, and climbing the hills of southern Utah. She loves to learn and explore with her six kids. She is drawn to the opportunities being involved with Big Ocean Women provides. Dana loves connecting to a global sisterhood where women’s issues are being addressed through reframing and an abundance mindset.

  • 3.4 Proactive Parenting with Andrew Young, a Discussion of Social Engineering in Media

    3.4 Proactive Parenting with Andrew Young, a Discussion of Social Engineering in Media
    May 13 2024
    Andrew Young has worked for XBox, DreamWorks, and other kids entertainment companies. He has seen firsthand how deliberate decisions to insert specific scenes and vocabulary take place. He talks about his experiences with what he found out about social engineering when he worked as an animator at DreamWorks, the effects we see in our society, and what we can do to counteract it as we stand for faith, family, and motherhood. Quotable quotes from Andrew Young during this discussion on social engineering in media, the devastating results of turning from traditional values, the power of families and audiences, and how to work toward a better future: “If you are a church listening, if you are a tech company, if you are a media company, if you are a family, you have got to return to your anchored North Star vision of how you provide value.” “The families have never had the opportunity to be explained, that, ‘By the way, we are providing you a movie… and it is laced with a political, anti-religious, anti-conservative, anti-male message.’” “The reason I’m doing this is to try to help people understand what is happening.” “This is why it’s very difficult for a parent to work against a professional storyteller propagandizing… a parent doesn’t know this technique, so let me explain it so you do.” “If you want your kids to be able to weather everything that is going to hit them like a mountain and the winds just won’t topple it, they have got to know their identity.” “Let’s do some deprogramming… I took all of these based on things we were socially engineering in movies, and I reversed them: Men and women, not in worth, but in design are not equal, meaning you can’t trade one for the other. They are complimentary. They’re not being told that. Take a man and a woman and join them together in marriage, and they become something greater than either could become alone.” “A family - A man is designed to lead, provide, protect, and fill the need that a woman has: security. You want men to provide security… I’m talking about physically, I’m talking about emotionally, and I’m talking about financially.” “So in turn, the woman does what no man can, and what even the world cannot do without her. And it’s not succeeding in an amazing career. It is that she gives life… The world can’t do it without her. And it has been socially engineered to be something that is negative and anyone who does it [is shown to be] someone who is frazzled, or doesn’t have it together. And it is the most rewarding and most consequential and most powerful thing a woman could ever do.” “We need, children need, to understand this transparently and have the choice to say I don’t agree with that or agree with that. They are getting the opposite, non transparent, and not having the choice whether to agree with it or not.” “Our culture is not prioritizing childbirth, families, marriages, it’s prioritizing wealth, and everyone’s in debt.” “Number one: have kids. You can’t train the next generation if you’re not having one. Have kids, take care of them, and make them the priority. You can’t have that successfully without marriage, ok, so you have to get married and you have to commit … You have got to commit to the marriage and then you will be able to commit to the children.” “One of the social engineering things we have lied to everyone about is that children know best. They do not know best. They do not have experience. They do not have the guidance and they don’t have the maturity that an adult has. An adult has to assume the role as leader and help rear them. In every single media we create, the adults are idiots. The tradition is worthless. The religion is not helpful.” “If you want to let [your children] go and go on their hero’s journey, prepare them through structure, through those one on one meetings weekly, through those family dinners, through those trips.” “The next one is time. You have got to be the parent or the person, time, time , time, time, time, time, time, time. So that’s your concrete thing.” “You have got to start teaching your young boys, your young girls, that rebellion is okay if it’s against something bad. We’ve taught them so well to follow the rules and to do what they’re told, that now they’re being told the wrong thing and they’re doing it.” “Let me read to you what a man is because most people don’t understand what a man is. ‘Despite being shown as useless idiots, men, at their core, and how you should look at them and treat them, is this,’ so I hope every time you see a man, you’ll say this word: ‘aspiring greatness.’” “Here’s what a woman is: Even though we photo them, dress them, and package them as a product, a woman is a human that can bring something no other human can bring, life.” “Men, if you’re listening, ...
