¶ Cultivating Family Values
This is the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People . Guys , we are back with another episode of the Everyday Podcast RED . We've been talking this past few weeks about the secrets to family success , and most of you will agree that it is all too easy to overlook the value of family Today .
Because of work , because of secular issues , there is a lot of negativity that comes upon us each and every day as humans , and because of that , it can be all too difficult to be able to cope with family responsibilities .
We can develop negative qualities that cause us to hate our family members and even , in some cases , it can cause us to resent our family members . So we're going to talk about in episode number 14 , how we can cultivate the proper values , morals and things that will help us to have a successful and happy family .
Now , before we get into our discussion , there has been a lot that has occurred this week . Now , before we get into our discussion , there has been a lot that has occurred this week . Recently , the UnitedHealthcare CEO was killed Gunpoint 7 o'clock in the morning .
Caucasian male on an electronic scooter decides to end this man's life and I can't believe not only the nature of the crime , but I can't believe how negative people have been acting toward this person's death . I mean , yes , united health care is not the best of insurances , but what insurance is ?
Furthermore , how do we justify the fact that we are making jokes about someone being killed , like I find that to be unacceptable . Just it amazes me at how corrupt and just disgusting this planet of human beings has become . Like people's mentality towards crime and violence , they act as though human life has no merit or value .
Now , granted , I'm going to tell you , guys , this , with everything that I just brought out , yes , I do believe that this world that we live in creates its own villains , but try to be better than that .
If you can be able to rise above the pain and the hurt and the frustration , it can do you a lot better in life than holding onto negative emotions that can damage you and eventually your family , damage you and eventually your family . Today's topic focuses on the ninth quality for having a successful family .
To have a successful family , the ninth quality is identity . Now , focusing on identity , this quality , in particular , has the audience of young people in mind . Here's what it means your identity . It goes far beyond your name and your appearance . It involves your values , your beliefs and character .
Really , your identity is everything that makes you you , both inside and outside . You both inside and outside . Today , all too often , young persons are deprived by their parents . My wife was telling me that in the United States of America , 46% of parents have signed away their rights of legal guardianship of their children starting from the year 10 years old .
Oftentimes we look at these statistics and we hear these things and we develop negative emotions and opinions and thoughts , and that's human nature .
However , at the same time , we have to recognize that , in order for things to get a little bit better , at least on a personal level , red is not attempting to change the world that's not what this podcast is for but it can help us to cope with the today problems , the things that we're going through on an individual basis .
So your identity has a large portion to do with those things . It has a large portion in connection with being able to help you have values , morals and to be able to grow further in life .
So , with this introductory episode , or this lesson in mind , this particular episode , we are targeting young people , people who feel as though they don't have a space to talk or a space to express themselves , if you have to at any moment of the podcast . Press pause and then let these thoughts marinate in your mind . Let you be able to meditate .
For lack of better order of words , try your best to meditate , or to meditate on what we're discussing here . Here's why your identity matters . When you have a strong sense of identity , you stand up for your beliefs instead of allowing your peers to control you . I'm going to mention two quotes from two young persons . The first one is Adrian .
A lot of people are like the mannequins you see in a store display . They don't choose the clothes they wear . Others do . Have you had an experience like that ? Perhaps there is a young person in your class that is a bit odd or stands out as weird to other people and , instead of doing the right thing , you follow the crowd .
Well , in thinking that you are honing in or cultivating your own opinions , keep in mind that you're following the mannequin , as it were . I call that the mannequin complex . You following other people strips you of your identity , and that's what's mentioned in our next quote from Courtney . I've learned how to stand up for what is right , even when it's hard .
I've learned how to stand up for what is right , even when it's hard . I can tell who my real friends are . Here's the point by how they act and how I act around them . There's a two-way street there . Do you have to constantly change your identity or change who you are as a person are as a person to be able to have friendship with certain persons ?
Or do you have to constantly adjust who you are in connection with your favorite foods , your favorite movies , your favorite entertainment ? Or are you following that principle that Courtney just outlined for us ? Do not try to follow their example , but be your own person . Well , what's the benefit of being your own person ?
It allows you to be able to develop a sense of who you are now and who you want to become Now . How can you continue to do this ? First , you have to analyze your strengths . You have to meditate on your weaknesses and your convictions . A good way to start is by answering the following questions .
The first question is on your strengths , and if , at any moment , you need to pause the podcast , please feel free to do so . What talents and skills do I have ? What are my strong points ? For example , am I punctual , self-controlled , hardworking , generous ? What positive , what positive things do I do ?
If you're having trouble identifying the answer to some of those questions . Pause the show . Try to get involved emotionally and in tune with yourself . Don't be afraid of the answers . Oftentimes we don't like the answer to these questions , but they are rewarding .
Here's a tip If you're having trouble identifying some of these things , ask a parent or a trusted friend . You cannot go wrong when you take the time to ask people who love and care for you . And if you still don't know after what they've vividly told you or directly told you , then strive your best to be more aware of yourself .
Being self-aware is very important . Here's a principle , a principle that really helps me personally . It says let each one examine his own actions and then he will have a cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone and not in comparison with the other person . So don't think about what your friends are doing .
Focus on what you're doing and , as a result , you will find yourself much more content . How about your weaknesses ? Here's some questions . What aspects of my personality need the most to work ? When am I especially susceptible to temptation ? In what areas could I exercise greater self-control ? The bottom line is this All of us make mistakes .
I don't care what color you are , what race you are nationality , ethnicity . Whatever the case is , we all make mistakes and it's vital that we analyze ourselves . By doing this , we strengthen our next focus point Convictions . What are your convictions ? What moral code do you follow and why Do you believe in God ? What evidence has convinced you of his existence ?
What evidence has convinced you of his existence ? What actions do you consider to be unjust and why ? What convictions do you hold about the future ? If you're having trouble analyzing the answers or finding the answers to these questions , here's a principle Thinking ability will keep watch over you and discernment will safeguard you .
True , guys , it's not easy to sit down and be able to analyze how you're doing in life , but if you follow those focal points analyzing your strengths , your weaknesses and your personal convictions you can be able to soar to above and beyond .
¶ Tragic Events and Grief Response
The RED team here , we really truly want you guys . We want you guys to be able to have the best possible hope and prospect for the future . Today , because we live in a world or in an environment where all hope can seem easily lost , it's vital that you have something progressive and encouraging in connection with your social media account .
This podcast is here to stay and , for those of you who tune in each and every single week . I can't specify enough how grateful and thankful we are as we approach the 2025 year and our season four continues to spiral up . We're just so grateful . We're really thankful and happy to be on this journey .
There's a lot of things happening in the world today and , as always , we have 10 lineup stories that will be able to help you to see as to what you can learn from these tragic events , how you might be able to help someone from these tragic events and what you can do to prevent these negative things from happening in your life to the best of your ability .
This first story really hits home because it's on the spectrum of dealing with elementary school students . North Las Vegas elementary school teacher arrested on lewdness with minor charge . Our location is Las Vegas . An elementary school PE teacher was arrested in North Las Vegas on Monday on charges of lewdness with a minor under the age of 14 .
According to North Las Vegas police , christopher Greer , 49 , was arrested and taken to the North Las Vegas Community Correctional Center where he was booked on charges of lewdness with a minor under the age of 14 . The arrest stemmed from an NLVPD investigation into a report of a sexual assault involving a minor at Collin Elementary School in North Las Vegas .
According to police , greer has been employed with the Clark County School District for 11 years . For the past six years , he has worked as a physical education teacher at Callen Elementary School . Anyone who may have been a victim of Greer or has information about his crime is urged to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department by phone at 702-633-9111 .
You can also remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555 . When I read this story and it came to me in connection with being able to help an individual , there are persons .
When it came to my attention to be able to address the story on the show , I recognize that there are persons whom are unaware that these things happen in the school environment . This show is not designed to blame anyone for these disasters , but I focus on trying to help people to cope with these disasters .
Persons may ask questions such as why do these things happen ? A lot of the time , schools do background checks , but if they're not proactive and they're not striving to check up on these employees that they hire , then you leave room for these particular errors .
To the victims that suffered at the hands of Mr Greer , please accept our loving support from the RED team . It's really sad when these things happen . In our next story we're going to take a moment to send our condolences to this particular family . This story has been updated and now we have the additional details Girl hit and killed by garbage truck and carry .
Identified as Davis Drive Middle School student . A 13-year-old girl died after she was hit by a garbage truck and carry . The driver , adrian Holt , was charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle . A 13-year-old girl died Friday after getting hit by a garbage truck and a Riley man is facing charges . Carry police said is facing charges .
Cary police said the crash happened around 10 am at the intersection of High House Road and Cornerstone Drive in Cary . According to a warrant , the driver , 57 years old Adrian Holt , is charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle and carrying a concealed weapon . He was also cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian and failing to reduce carry police said his speed .
Holt hit the girl at a crosswalk . Authorities took the girl to an area hospital where she died of her injuries . The incident , which unfolded in seconds , has forever changed the lives of those involved . Helen Montague , holt's girlfriend , said she spoke with Holt after the incident and described him as very emotional .
The sad thing about this story is that this could have been prevented . Holt is scheduled to appear in court on December 18th . The girl's family does have a GoFundMe set up in connection with this particular story . If you'd like to support , you can Google the incident in connection with Carrie Drive middle school student . I find this to be of interest .
I see people on the highway , I see how they drive . I'm not saying that this driver is guilty of abusing his vehicle , but if this was a case or is a case in which accidents happen , what can happen when a person is careless behind the wheel of a vehicle ?
Let this be a lesson to all of us that when we drive , when we get behind the wheel of a vehicle , it is a serious thing to this family . We want to extend our condolences from the RAD podcast . These days that are going to overcome , you are not easy . People will give advice , people will say things .
That really doesn't help during these times of grief and emotion and it's sad . It's sad that when we go through grief we can't get the help .
But there are persons who you can surround yourself with and , if they are available , please strive to open your hearts to them so that they can give you and your family the comfort rather especially the parents during this difficult time . This following story highlights just again how tragic and unforeseen death can be .
To the Kassin family we extend our condolences and connection with this story . High school ice hockey player dies after losing consciousness during game . Our location now is New York . A New York high school ice hockey player died Saturday night after losing consciousness midway through a game .
Nassau County police said in a news release that officers responded to an incident on November 30th at 9 pm at the town of Oyster Bay Ice Skating Center in Bethpage , new York . According to a December 1st letter from Massapequa High School administrators , the 17-year-old was Connor Kassin , a senior at the Long Island School .
Administrators said Connor died following a sudden medical event . The principal in part in a letter made mention that Connor experienced this sudden passing out at a varsity ice hockey game last night and was transported to the hospital ambulance .
Transported to the hospital ambulance , connor was remembered by Massapequa Public Schools Superintendent William Brennan as a cherished member of the school community . The coaches of the Massapequa varsity ice hockey team said in a joint statement that Connor's unexpected death had left their community completely heartbroken .
In addition to playing hockey for his high school , connor was also left defenseman for the Long Island Sharks U-18 travel hockey team . The sad thing about this particular story is the seriousness and the suddenness of what happened to Connor . I do find it encouraging that the school is providing grief counseling .
I've heard of many situations where the school does not provide any additional counseling . When something tragic like this happens To the Kassin family , please again accept our love and condolences To the Kassin family . Please again accept our love and condolences and to Connor's friends , those who attended school with him , feel free to reach out and comment .
Remember this young athlete and all that he did for you guys as a result of having a joyful and positive soul . This next story is interesting . You never know when these unforeseen things will happen and again we are extending our condolences to this brave teacher and to express our thoughts in connection with this outcome .
Middle school teacher dies from rabies after getting bitten by bat she removed from classroom . California is our location . A California middle school teacher has died after contracting rabies via a bat that flew into her classroom . Leah Seneng , 60 , found the bat in her classroom in mid-October . When she went to pick it up and put it outside . It bit her .
The woman's friend , laura Splouch , told ABC30 . She didn't want to harm it . The woman told the outlet but that's when , I guess , it woke up or saw the light , or whatever . It swooped around a bit and it took off . At first the teacher didn't have any symptoms , but she began to feel ill about a month later .
Senning's daughter took her to the hospital on November 18th . She was put into a coma and died four days later . The Fresno County Department of Public Health told ABC30 that Seneng had been exposed to rabies in Merced County . Seneng was an artist who taught art at Bryant Middle School in Dos Palos , about 64 miles from Fresno .
A GoFundMe launch to help raise funds for Seneng's funeral has surpassed its $5,000 goal and has raised $6,623 . To the students and to the families , the Seneng family , we do send our condolences . I can't believe that something like this so quickly , so suddenly , can happen on the job .
But at the same time it's really sad because there's really no one to blame .
Now , of course , persons are going to say the school can be held responsible , but there's no telling as of now , according to this story , how the bat got into the classroom , and that is going to be the biggest determining factor as to how the family and loved ones are able to proceed .
We talk about violence a lot on this show , but the sad thing is it's still happening and it's starting to get lower and lower in the school environment .
Years ago , violence was something that you would hear mainly at a high school or something in connection with older kids , but now violence is starting to enter into other places such as preschools and middle schools and so on and so forth .
I guess the real folly is thinking that violence can be kept out of any area in which human beings are having to dwell together . Student stabbed in neck at Henrico High School now in stable condition . Stabbed in neck at Henrico High School , now in stable condition .
The 16-year-old Henrico High School student who was stabbed in the neck at school on Wednesday is in stable condition after coming out of surgery . According to Crime Insider sources , the teenager was in life-threatening condition upon being transported to VCU Health earlier in the day . Henrico police called the situation an isolated altercation that happened around 12.30 .
That altercation was a student stabbing another student in the neck . According to Crime Insider sources , cell phone video viewed by CBS6 shows it appeared to happen in a breezeway on school grounds near the school's bus loop . The school temporarily went into lockdown . As police and EMS responded , students were quickly dismissed from their lockdown .
Detectives have not stated what objects the student was stabbed with . These students , in connection with this incident , are calling on their classmates to turn to other methods or ways to handle their problems . Police are still working to determine what led to the stabbing .
The superintendent said that this is an entirely bad situation For the community as a whole as it strikes fear into persons hearts when they hear such stories , because there are no details in connection with what happened which led up to the fight . There's not much that we can add in connection with commentary , but man , I'm just .
I'm not going to say that I'm shocked . I've been on this podcast now for two years plus , but it is unsettling when you think about all of the persons out there new babies coming into the world and just the way this system is designed and the way it's built . There's just a lot of aggression in connection with the school environment .
But I also believe that if you talk to these students and you let them know what's up , you can make these situations not go away , but make them a bit smaller for someone else who's coming right along or down the line . New kids that are entering into the school system along or down the line .
New kids that are entering into the school system Now because of our last story , the story that we just discussed . I found this to be heartwarming . There are students whom are striving to get this violence to stop . They're trying to contain the rage . Notice how they're striving to do this . Maintain the rage . Notice how they're striving to do this .
Middle school students pledge not to resort to gun violence . We're in Nashville , tennessee . More and more kids are getting caught up in serious societal issues , including gun violence . In Nashville this year , more than a quarter of victims of gun-related homicides were 18 years or younger . Recently , a group of boys in middle school promised to reverse this trend .
The 6th , 7th and 8th grade students at Gere Baxter Middle School in the Humble Beginnings Program have talked about gun violence with Clemmie Greenlee have talked about gun violence with Clemmie Greenlee . The mentoring program founded by Mikal Greenwood provides educational support to kids in urban communities .
Greenlee asked Greenwood if she could bring the National Student Pledge against gun violence to his students . This is the pledge I will never bring a gun to school . I will never use a gun to settle a personal problem or dispute . I will use my influence with my friends to keep them from using guns to settle disputes .
My individual choices and actions , when multiplied by those of young people throughout the country , will make a difference . Together , by honoring this pledge , we can reverse the violence and grow up in safety .
I really find it encouraging that , although this is just a small start for these persons to make things better for their lives and their community , they're striving to do their best .
Man , it's so easy to be negative and to criticize someone and to say that's corny or that's not going to work , but when you see humans through these dark days trying to better themselves , it really makes a better way for tomorrow .
No , it's not going to be a perfect world , at least not now anyways , but to see humans going through difficult circumstances in communities where there's disadvantage and trying to be better , I mean honestly , that's one of the coolest things that a human can do at this point in their lives .
Keep on going , guys , and strive your best to continue to resort to discussing matters before carrying out serious violence . Awesome , awesome goals to have in mind , guys . Awesome , awesome goals to have in mind , guys . Sometimes on the podcast we discuss certain things that aren't funny in themselves , but the circumstances surrounding the story can be humorous .

Lesson number one if you want your child to be involved in extracurricular activities , you have to make sure it's being watched appropriately . A lot of the times , parents are not aware of what's going on at school between an administrator and their child . The best thing that you can do is be proactive . I want to know who the coach is .
I want to know who the coach is , I want to know what his status is , I want to know how much this coach spends time with my child and I want to get to the bottom of the circumstances , because if we don't , terrible things like this can happen .
At the same time , it was noted in this story that this girl , this 16-year-old girl , was in a relationship with her boyfriend and was caught having immoral relations with his father . I'll leave that for you guys to be able to discuss .
But wow , that is some heavy , heavy storytelling , most powerful story that we've ever discussed on this podcast To the victims of Mr Washington . Please , guys , find emotional support and strength from your families and do not give up hope on enduring these wicked things that are just the essence of what goes on in school circumstances today .
Well , guys , it seems as though I have miscounted . I told you , guys we had 10 stories , but one story was a double , so it seems that we only have nine this particular episode . So here's our final two . Two kindergartners wounded and gunmen dead after shooting at California religious school .
Two children were in extremely critical condition Wednesday after being shot at a tiny religious K-8 school in Northern California , and the gunman died at the scene , apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot .
Police said the gunman may have targeted the Feather River School of Seventh-day Adventists in Palermo because of its religious affiliation , but isn't believed to have had any prior connection to the victims or the school .
The gunman may have targeted the Feather River School of Seventh-day Adventists in Palermo because of its religious affiliation , but isn't believed to have had a prior connection to the victims or the school . The wounded children boys ages 5 and 6 , are kindergartners at the school and are being treated at a trauma center in the Sacramento area .
Officials said the shooting occurred shortly after 1 pm at the private Christian school with fewer than three dozen students in Palermo , which has about 5,500 people and it's about 65 miles north of Sacramento .
The shooter was in a meeting with an administrator about enrolling a child at the school , which was described as cordial , but it seems that was his first visit to the school and he had no prior connection to the victims . Shortly after that , shots rang out .
The gunman's body was found near the slide and other playground equipment on the grounds of the school , which abuts ranchland where cattle graze . A handgun was found nearby . They were trying to contact the shooter's family before releasing his name .
The seventh day of-day Adventist Church is a Christian denomination in which members consider the Bible their only creed and believe that the second coming of Christ is near . The Feather River School has been open since 1965 , according to its website .
After the shooting , authorities rushed students initially to a gymnasium , where they stayed until a bus arrived to take them off the grounds , and to the Oroville Church of the Nazarene to be reunited with their families .
¶ School Incident Sparks Outrage, Legal Action
I can only imagine how confused and scared these young children must feel . It is not easy . It is tremendously devastating and traumatizing to go through a story and a circumstance rather like this . However , these kids are holding on to their faith and we know that when people have strong beliefs , they can power through anything .
Essentially , we hope that the persons that were dealing with this circumstance they're able to cope with what happened . This is a traumatic event . You're dealing with this circumstance . They're able to cope with what happened . This is a traumatic event . You're dealing with children . There's going to be a lot of pickup and fallout after the dust settles .
We wish you guys all of the best there in California . Our final story , very unique as all of our stories , but I don't think that there was a solution to this particular story . Now , one of the things that I found to be unique about this story is that it takes place in New York City , of all places , right .
12-year-old girl handcuffed at NYC school after fight with student as mom demands answers . A 12-year-old girl was handcuffed at a Bronx middle school following an altercation with another student last month . Police said Wednesday as her mom demanded answers over the ordeal .
The saga involving the 6th grader unfolded at the Intermediate School 584 on St Anne student in velcro cuffs after she became increasingly agitated and allegedly started hitting the officer and a school administrator just before 2 30 pm . Official said when she wasn't compliant , the safety agent resorted to metal handcuffs .
Police said the child was in handcuffs for approximately 15 minutes and was then released to her mother , a police spokesperson said , adding that the mom was already at the school and was provided information regarding the incident .
The chain of events , however , is at odds with what the outraged mother , christine Henson , said she encountered when she arrived to pick up her daughter , faith that day . I asked the school safety officer why is she in handcuffs ? Can you please take those cuffs off of her ? She said she's not going anywhere .
Henson told the outlet of the moment she saw her upset kid in the chair . Her daughter too , claims she doesn't know why the school safety agent , who was employed by the NYPD , collared her .
The girl who went to urgent care the next day because of pain in her wrist and neck now wants to transfer schools because she's frightened and doesn't want to go to class . Her mom added that her child wasn't subjected to any disciplinary action following the alleged incident and she is planning to slap the school with a lawsuit .
Education officials said the use of restraints on students was at the discretion of the NYPD . So there you have it . Things happened in school . The girl didn't go into a conniption . She decided to wait on the power of her parent and , hopefully , by pursuing these things the right way , they will have a successful outcome .
Some people believe that the best way to handle these things is to just be irate . Take matters into your own hands . I prefer a totally different method , but to each his own , as it were . Everyone has free will and is entitled to their own beliefs and decisions . So episode 14 , how was it , guys ? I think it went pretty well .
It was a nice , healthy , powerful episode filled with stories , and I'm sorry it wasn't 10 stories , but nine is just as good . Right , it takes us through our 40 minute window and it allows us to be able to soak in what's going on on this crazy planet and it gives us the hope and the strength we need to cope with tomorrow's issues .
Guys , thank you so much for being a beautiful audience , as always . We love you
¶ Potential Future Merchandise for Podcast
, guys . Before we go , just a brief outro . It's been mentioned merch , not to the point where it's an overwhelming amount of people , but it's something that I would need feedback , for . I don't see merch in my future for a long time . I'm still growing , the show is still progressing , I'm still ironing out kinks and I'm not going to throw things on myself .
However , when people start to reach out , when people start to comment , when people start to let me know how they feel about this show , and I get more of a following , maybe cool merch shirts will be in the mix , but RED Podcasting is here for you guys , always here to stay , and we appreciate doing this every single Thursday .
Other than that , guys , this has been RED . It's the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People . This is the Everyday Podcast for the Everyday People .
