  • Faith Talks: Executive Function

    Faith Talks: Executive Function
    Dec 11 2024
    Children develop at different paces. Some kids appear to be naturally fast. Others appear to move slower. The pace at which a child completes various tasks and projects is known as processing speed. We typically notice when children have slower processing speeds, and this can be challenging for the child and the adults around them. But processing speed is not indicative of intelligence or I.Q. And with support, children with slower processing speeds can thrive. It is therefore imperative that parents, grandparents, educators, and caregivers gain strategies for supporting all children, regardless of how they learn.

    On this episodes of Faith Talks we talk with with Dr. Ellen Braaten. Braaten co-authored the book Bright Kids Who Can’t Keep Up. She’ll share tips for seeing and honoring all children, while equipping us to better support the young people in our lives.

    Faith Talks is produced by United Women in Faith and hosted by Jennifer R. Farmer.

  • Faith Talks: In Remembrance of the Sand Creek Massacre

    Faith Talks: In Remembrance of the Sand Creek Massacre
    Nov 25 2024
    As you may know, November is Native American Heritage Month. November 29 is also the 160th remembrance of the Sand Creek Massacre, in which a Methodist pastor led the slaughter of 230 Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples. Most of the loved ones who were slain were women, children, and elders.

    The United Methodist Church is in a repenting and repairing process for its involvement in this particular incident but also for its mistreatment of Native Americans throughout history. The Cheyenne people didn’t just experience Sand Creek, but multiple other traumas including displacement, boarding schools, other massacres, and the suppression of cultural norms. This has led to generational traumas that persist to this very day.

    This episode of Faith Talks is focused on Native American Heritage Month and the Sand Creek Massacre. We will talk with Otto Braided Hair, who is a Northern Cheyenne descendant, and Bishop Elaine Stanovsky, who co-chaired, along with Otto, an advisory report on the Sand Creek Massacre during the 2016 General Conference in Portland, Oregon. We hope you’ll join us in learning about our history and recommitting ourselves to the work of healing and reconciliation. Please register and invite a friend to do so as well.

    Faith Talks is produced by United Women in Faith. This episode is hosted by Emily Jones, the Executive for Racial Justice at United Women in Faith.
