    Faith Talks: Tools to Process Grief with Dr. Sabrina N’Diaye
    May 6 2025
    Grief is an unavoidable part of life. Whether it’s losing a loved one, watching tragedies around the world, or anything else that creates difficulties, it is important to acknowledge and process it. Without processing grief, it will weigh heavy on your shoulders and affect your mental health.

    With Mental Health Awareness Month starting in May, it’s a great time to reflect on the impact of grief on our wellbeing. On this episode of Faith Talks we will welcome Dr. Sabrina N’Diaye to discuss grief and mental health.

    We will discuss different types of grieving and productive ways to process grief for the benefit of our mental health. For background, Dr. N’Diaye holds a Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine from Saybrook University, and acts as an integrative therapist, author, and peace-builder.

    This conversation will leave you feeling healed and prepared to tackle the difficult feelings that arise throughout life.

  • Faith Talks: Intergenerational Learning

    Faith Talks: Intergenerational Learning
    May 1 2025
    We always have more to learn as we find our own paths. Oftentimes, we forget that the experiences of those in generations older than ours can be valuable in finding our way. Moreover, we forget that we are an important source of guidance for the children and young people in our lives who are just starting out—and that they can teach us something too. Intergenerational learning is meaningful at every age, and it can bring you closer to your community and to God.

    We all benefit from intergenerational learning, but we sometimes need guidance on how to initiate it. Join us as we welcome Rev. Dr. Tanya Marie Eustace Campen and Dr. Faye Wilson as guests on the live recording of the Faith Talks podcast. We hope you will join us and invite a friend as they guide us on this learning journey.

    For background, Campen is an ordained deacon and the director of Intergenerational Discipleship for the Rio Texas Conference Office, and her specialization is in children’s spirituality. Wilson is a writer, educator, and musician who has worked across the globe, and who co-authored the 2025 resource book Carrying Our Faith Forward for United Women in Faith.

    With so much to learn and so much to say, you will leave this conversation ready to listen and share wisdom with people at all points of their lives.

    It can be overwhelming trying to keep up with current events. With access to media 24/7 and contentious issues seen around the world, it is more important than ever to remain rooted in hope and community. Fortunately, our Mission u authors address just that: Practicing Hope Together.

    If you’ve ever experienced Mission u, we are sure you’ll agree it is transformative. If you’ve never participated, it’s not too late to enroll. We are excited about this year’s theme, "Practicing Hope Together." On this episode we'll welcome Mission u authors Joni Cisowski, Regina Heater, and Tabatha Holley as guests on the Faith Talks podcast.

    Cisowski wrote Hope as a Resurrection People: A Children’s Curriculum, Heater wrote Communities of the Spirit: Living into Hope as Resurrection People: A Youth Curriculum, and Holley wrote Practicing Hope: An Adult Curriculum. At a time when hope appears to be in short supply, you’ll leave this conversation inspired and encouraged in your Christian journey.

  • Faith Talks: Estate and End of Life Planning

    Faith Talks: Estate and End of Life Planning
    Jan 23 2025
    On this episode of Faith Talks we will discuss Estate and End of Life Planning. While this may be a sobering topic, it is helpful to take heed to the psalmist’s words in Psalm 90:12 and “number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”

    It is quite easy to focus on what is before us. To think about our careers, our hobbies, and temporal things. But we also want to be intentional, thinking about what it means to prepare for our eventual and final transition. Why not have this conversation with our Faith Talks community.

    We'll interview Suzanne Toma, United Women in Faith director of development, and Deaconess Christi Campus, United Women in Faith executive for development & donor relations. We hope you’ll join us for this essential conversation. We are sure you’ll leave inspired and uplifted.

  • Faith Talks: Project 2025 with the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference

    Faith Talks: Project 2025 with the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference
    Jan 15 2025
    Throughout much of 2024, we’ve heard about Project 2025. It has dominated headlines and been a trending topic on multiple social media platforms. It is now in the news again as many of the architects of Project 2025 are being appointed to President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet.

    For all the talk about Project 2025, many people are wondering what it entails and who is most likely to be impacted by the policies and proposals included therein. Some are also wondering how Christian women might respond to Project 2025. Is there a unique role for us to play or something specific we should be doing?

    We will address these questions and more on this episode of Faith Talks podcast. This will be the first episode of 2025 and it is a fitting way to kick off the new year. We are excited to interview Dr. Iva Carruthers and Rev. Dr. Susan Smith of the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference.
