Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

We 3 Latinas talk about our experiences with Lent and Holy Week and how it differed for us as Latin women. Leslie and I have a Catholic background, so we grew up with a Catholic view, but even she and I, still had marked differences in how we celebrated this most sacred of times. Jessica grew up Pentecostal and her involvement with Lent was non existent and her home celebrated differently than we did. It was a great way to show that even though our roots are similar, we are not monolithic.…

At this point the Lenten Season is well on its way. Kai and I talk about what shaped our view of Lent and even though it is not a biblical command, it sure can be used as a time to draw closer to God. We talk about sin, repentance and shame, and how we view those can be attached to how we view Holy Week.…

This is the last episode dedicated to friendships. What I loved about Jessica and Cindi's relationship was their age difference. Their friendship is a great example to us that we don't have to be peers to foster deep, loving friendships. They have a deep trust and mutual respect that was amazing to experience. We hope you enjoyed this series and that you left with tools to either improve your friendships or to start new ones.…

We 3 share about how we've gone through life expecting God to align with our plans and not to present our plans to him and wait to see where he takes us. It takes tons of faith, hope and courage to ask, wait, listen and obey, especially when things don't make sense in order to walk with God.

Happy New Year! As we start this new year filled with hope for COVID to not be the center of all of our lives, like the little narcist it is, we tend to look forward to many new things. Some of us are too cynical to even think that there is any hope for something new. However, in Jesus, there is always hope. Kai and I talk about false expectations we put on God and how that hurts our faith and fractures our hope. Our with is that you walk close to God so that you align yourself with what he already has waiting for you so that your expectations are realistic and that you may enjoy more yeses than no's.…

Even though Leslie, Jessica and I are Puerto Rican, well, Leslie is half Puerto Rican and half Dominican, our traditions were not the same. We remember the similarities and share the differences. Since I am the only one that has actually lived in Puerto Rico, I was able to experience the full Christmas experience from childhood to adulthood. Jessica may have lost her Puerto Rican card after saying she doesn't like Bacardi. Also, you must listen in and hear all about my Christmas Branch. Totally not a Latin tradition, just me being funny! Here is the recipe for the Coquito. It's our Christmas Drink and I refuse to call it a type of eggnog, because...just NO! 1 can of Cream of Coconut 1 can of Evaporated Milk 1 can of Sweet Condensed Milk 2 cans of Coconut Milk 2 Tbls of Cinnamon 1 cup of Bacardi Rum (start with 1/2 a cup and add until you hear the angels sing!) Put it in a blender until the cinnamon is well incorporated and everything is creamy smooth. Store in glass containers/bottles with lids and refrigerate. Serve COLD! You can add a dash of cinnamon to make it look pretty! Enjoy!…
