Your story matters! How you grew up, how you faced adversity, overcame obstacles, got set back by circumstances and how you didn't let it beat you. Your Church story matters! Your business story matters! There is power in story. When you share life experiences, people say, "I didn't know that about you!" It connects us. Ever thought of writing your story to pass down to children, grandchildren or clients? Join us tonight.

Real Life SH307R The Power of The Story-YOUR story Dave Fraco

Happy Summer!
Tonight--"The Perspective of Life from a 14-Year-Old"
Madden is 14 years young-Right in the middle of being a part of, "Gen Alpha". Madden loves baseball and even wears #35 in honor of Gina's late husband, Frank Pastore who wore #35 with the Cincinnati Reds. Gina was so impressed with one of her, "Besties" Grandson, that she invited Madden in to talk life from the perspective of a 14-year old: What does Madden think of the political climate in our country? What does he think about God, culture, the future and the role of a man in the family?  Get into the mind of, "Generation Alpha" tonight. HINT: Pretty amazing conversation.

One of Gina's best friends of all time, Veronica has a daughter and son-in-law who has a family cabin on the Guadalupe River in the Hill Country of Texas. It's near Kerrville, Hunt and Ingram right where a 1,000-year flood happened Independence Day weekend. Camp Mystic, where two dozen girls lost their lives is near and dear to their hearts. Tonight, a heart cry. We're reminded none of us are immune to pain and catastrophic loss. The promise and Hope of the Gospel is, one day all wrongs will be made right: No more tears-No more sorrow.

Make no mistake:
When you experience trauma, you will never be the same, "you" before that trauma. Over the last 18 months, there has been much loss, grief and trauma. We have a choice to make: Either we grow into bitterness or we choose what kind of life we will have that reflects your, "new" self. Discovering joy and then letting others know they are not alone in their loss. Share your story!
Michelle Neff Hernandez joins us from Soaring Spirits International and Camp Widow.

Real Life SH287R Rediscovering Yourself After Grief or Trauma

Tonight, maybe you've never heard or maybe you need to be reminded that there is a reason you are this earth. Of course, your mother and father got together, and you were created. BUT there is a REASON that you are this big ball turning. Do you know why? Do you know your meaning and purpose? Without knowing either one of those things, you will flounder and walk aimlessly in life trying to fill that God shaped hole with something. And that something could spell disaster. Knowing your purpose, changes everything. How do you find your purpose and meaning?

Gina, Dave and our special guest, Phyllis Vance share theirs!

Late Summer. Dog Days of Summer. The Boys of Summer. Here's a question for you: 
If you were sitting across from a former major league baseball player, what would you ask him?
Steven Wright, former MLB Pitcher with the Boston Red Sox and protégé' of Frank Pastore doesn't know the questions we're going to ask so buckle up. In fact, Dave asks one, hoping he doesn't get slugged. It's one I think, majority of us have often wondered about and not just when it comes to ball players either. Even Gina gets very quiet. Tonight........
