Summary
Many of us are looking at the events of these days with despair, sadness, and even anger. It is hard to witness division and hatred in our world and to see the suffering of those who are caught in its crossfire. We want to respond but many of us don't know how to. This is such a huge problem with far-reaching consequences and deeply rooted origins. Parents, do not allow the devil to use that which is far off to distract you from what is near! The greatest influence you can have is within your own home. Parents need to proactively discuss these issues with their children in order to form them. This is YOUR job and no one else's. Listen in as we share our own experience and give tips on how to address these topics with your children.

| 0:06.7 | Catholic Conversations on Marriage and Family. |
| 0:10.8 | Hosted by our parents, Mike Hernan and Alicia Hornin. |
| 0:15.8 | They're pretty awesome, but they're not experts. |
| 0:18.6 | Because family life is really messy. |
| 0:23.1 | Welcome to today's program. |
| 0:24.9 | Today we're going to be talking about how to talk to your kids about racism. |
| 0:29.1 | Now, this isn't going to be a podcast about racism, |
| 0:32.1 | but about how to talk to your children about it. |
| 0:35.1 | Okay, so that is what we're going to be looking forward to. But before we get |
| 0:39.0 | into that, let's just give you a little bit of summaries about what we are doing in our ministry |
| 0:43.1 | right now. We are in the midst of the Play and Pray Challenge. Yeah, it begins today. It runs for 10 days, |
| 0:51.1 | but to be honest with you, if you can't do it in this 10 day period, |
| 1:00.2 | this is still an amazing thing. But the challenge begins officially June 12th to June 21st. See, that's why it's a challenge, because you have to try to fit in all of these things, |
| 1:03.6 | like in this one time period. You know, we're going to make it a little bit difficult. |
| 1:07.2 | You know, I mean, or else you have to earn the name challenge, you know. You got to earn your bumper |
| 1:11.2 | sticker that you get when you complete all of those three, the three elements of doing a date |
| 1:16.1 | night, doing a family day, and then enthroning Jesus in your home, proclaiming him as king. And boy, |
| 1:23.3 | do we need that right now. That's right. Now more than ever. And, you know, there is, also, |
| 1:29.3 | we were launching and we'll be open for another week. So again, if you're listening to this late, |
