    Afraid Of Adulting? Why (and How) Gen Z Can Handle Real-Life Responsibilities | S6 E9 Nov 15, 2023
    Show notes

    "Adulting is Hard!" Is that this generation of young adults, aka Gen Z and Millenials, really believes?
    Ever since we turned 'adult' into a verb, society has increasingly made it seem that being a responsible adult is something too hard for young people to handle. But is it true, or just an easy excuse to not step up to the challenge of growing up? In this episode, Chris Alessi and his wife Richelle sit down to examine a recent viral video that seems to exemplify this mindset - and explain why they aren't buying it as young adults.

    Manners Still Matter! How to Tame Tantrums and Teach Kids to Respect Others | S6 E8 Nov 08, 2023
    Show notes

    Have we stopped expecting kids to demonstrate good manners? Is teaching kids to maintain discipline in public a lost art?
    Go to any public place with families with kids, and you'll see examples of parents who have either struggled to show their kids proper manners to use in social settings - or parents who choose not to even try.
    But do manners still matter? For the Alessis, the answer is a definite yes.
    In this episode, the Alessis dive deep into the crucial topic of teaching children discipline and manners in a social setting - especially they are throwing embarrassing tantrums in public.
    They discuss the need to enforce discipline and manners within their own family and share practical strategies for teaching children how to navigate social interactions with grace.

    Exposing the Green Room Effect: Why We Say NO to Celebrity Church Culture | S6 E7 Nov 01, 2023
    Show notes

    Is celebrity church culture destroying the spirit of serving others in ministry?
    And how do we protect our own ministry and family from this destructive mindset?
    In this episode, discover how the Alessis have avoided falling prey to feelings of entitlement as pastors and worship leaders, as they share personal anecdotes and insights about the importance of stepping out of comfort zones in ministry to build valuable relationships and support systems.
    This episode was inspired by the backlash received by speaker, author and worship leader Natalie Runion, founder of the "Raised to Stay" platform when she pointed out the hypocrisy of pastors and worship leaders staying enclosed in green rooms instead of engaging in worship services and connecting with the congregation.
    Tap here to read the Raised to Stay "Green Room" post

    That post, and the recent events at the GMA Dove Awards simply uncovered a lot of controversy that is happening behind the scenes in many prominent churches.
    As veterans in the ministry and recording industry, the Alessis have witnessed the tendency of musicians and artists to become entitled and covetous of special treatment, and you'll learn how to keep that mentality out of your family ministry, church, or staff as a church leader.

    The Truth about Abortion: Exposing Health Risks & The Hidden Impact on Motherhood | S6 E3 Oct 04, 2023
    Show notes

    You may think you've heard it all when it comes to the abortion debate - but some important facts have been hidden from you.
    Here at The Family Business with The Alessis, we believe strongly in empowering families with the truth so they can build a generational legacy, so we have prepared a 2-part series on abortion to give you the best foundation and information as things stand now, after the overturning of Roe. V. Wade in 2022.
    To help us in this important conversation, we are blessed to welcome a family friend and expert on the laws, history and ideological concepts around the abortion industry - Cristina M. Squiers. Cristina has a long, deep friendship with the Alessis, and has risen to the top of her field as a ligitator and counsel in cases involving pro-life causes and the abortion industry.

    In part two, the Alessi ladies - Gabrielle, Lauren, Stephanie (Muiña) and Richelle - sit down with Cristina to expose the medical risks that easy-access abortion methods have created, and unpack why society is so quick to dismiss the beauty and blessing of motherhood.
    Cristina Squiers graduated from Princeton University and was a recipient of the University's ReachOut Fellowship. During her fellowship year, Ms. Squiers worked at the nation's largest adoption agency and started a mentoring program for youth leaving foster care. She received her J.D. from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the SMU Law Review and interned for Catharina Haynes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

    The Truth about Abortion: How We Got Here & What Your Family Needs to Know | S6 E2 Sep 27, 2023
    Show notes

    Note to Parents: This episode contains graphic descriptions of the procedures and medical facts concerning abortion. We strongly advise using discretion in sharing this with young children.
    For decades, the abortion debate has been a flashpoint of passion and division in our society - precisely because it is so much more than words and arguments.
    It strikes at the very heart of what it means to build a family.
    Here at The Family Business with The Alessis, we believe strongly in empowering families with the truth so they can build a generational legacy, so we have prepared a 2-part series on this topic to give you the best foundation and information as things stand now, especially after the overturning of Roe. V. Wade in 2022.
    To help navigate this complex topic, we are blessed to welcome a family friend and expert on the laws, history and ideological concepts around the abortion industry - Cristina M. Squiers.
    Cristina has a long, deep friendship with the Alessi family, and has risen to the top of her field as a ligitator and counsel in cases involving pro-life causes and the abortion industry. Today, she sits down with several of the young ladies in the Alessi family to dig deeper into how this issue affects women and families beyond the soundbites and political chatter.
    Cristina Squiers graduated from Princeton University and was a recipient of the University's ReachOut Fellowship. During her fellowship year, Cristina worked at the nation's largest adoption agency and started a mentoring program for youth leaving foster care. She received her J.D. from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the SMU Law Review and interned for Catharina Haynes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She now practices law in Dallas, TX and is married to her husband Dr. Jack Squiers. Together they have 3 children and are expecting their fourth. .
