This week, Debi and Sam are joined by Aubrey Matthesius, co-campus pastor at Dream City Church

Aubrey, Debi and Sam talk about the views and parenting styles of Millennials and Gen Z.

So many young women have been either fearful of motherhood or feel as though it is a negative experience. Aubrey talks about how she never held a baby or changed a diaper until she had her own child a little over a year ago. She had to re-evaluate her own views on motherhood. Now she is trying to reframe the narrative for other young women so they can see they joy in the experience.

Aubrey also talked about getting "old school" parenting tips from older women in the church that have made parenting much more practical and less stressful. She recently shared some of these tips on social media and her videos went viral, showing that there is a desire among other women to have positive, practical conversations about parenting.

This week, Debi and Sam are joined by Jenna Bentley, director of government affairs, and Matt Beienburg, director of education policy at Goldwater Institute.

Debi, Sam, Jenna and Matt discuss the ballot initiative process and the need to prohibit DEI in state law.

In Arizona, there are multiple ways to get a proposition on the ballot. It can be confusing for voters, especially since our laws differ from other states. Jenna breaks down the process, and Debi talks about why it is important to fully vet signature campaigns before helping to get something on the ballot.

Matt discussed why an executive order does not solve the DEI problem and how multiple states are drafting legislation to protect their constituents beyond the current presidential administration.

This week, Debi and Sam are joined by Dave Ansell, pastor of the Scottsdale campus of Dream City Church.

Pastor Dave was a pastor in California prior to joining the Dream City family. He talked about living and holding church services in southern California during the COVID lockdowns and how his eyes were opened to the manipulation and control that was happening. It was ok to protest in the streets and go to pot dispensaries, but churches were supposed to stay closed and singing wasn't allowed. He eventually took a stand and opened his church when few others in his state were willing.

Pastor Dave, Sam and Debi also talked about the difference that church communities can make, even in states that are hostile to Christians. They talked about the two California campuses of Dream City Church and how God is moving in those communities.
