LIFECAST

Welcome to Lifecast with Ryan Leak. Ryan gets the opportunity to speak to a couple hundred thousand people all around the country every year. And people often ask him, when he speaks, "What's the main topic you speak on?" If it could be summed up, the thing Ryan speaks on the most including everything from corporate keynotes to messages in church... well the subject would be: life. That’s why this is called Lifecast.

Wearing masks. Homeschooling. Voting. There are more opportunities to judge someone today than ever... which also means there are more opportunities to show mercy.

Oneness doesn't mean sameness. We don't have to agree on everything and think the same to be unified. We go to super bowl parties and can cheer for different teams while eating pizza together. Why can't we copy and paste that into other areas of our lives? You'd be surprised who you could be friends when you cheering for the same teams is no longer deal breaker.

We can all make the mistake of believing one person's opinion is everybody's opinion. It's not about caring less what people think of you. It's about choosing the right people to give permission to have an opinion. We all have a "they" and most of us didn't know we can actually choose who "they" are.

Sometimes it's like everyone is holding their breath until the first Tuesday in November. But aren't there some other dates we're actually looking forward to? In light of those future days, and the conversations we'd like to have then, how should that impact how we conduct ourselves now? 

It'd be weird to have the same argument with the same person every 4 years, right? But that's what comes with every election. But does it have to be that way? How we treat somebody that votes differently than us might say more about us than how we actually vote. 

What do you do when you find yourself in an entanglement?

So many well-meaning white people have asked what they can do about injustice and so we put together a free resource on how to do just that on ryanleak.com.

Mom guilt and mom shaming should never be under estimated. In honor of Mother's Day weekend, we wanted to sit down with a special guest who specializes in counseling moms.

A swelling outcry over the February 23 shooting of Ahmaud Arbery intensified after a cellphone video that purports to show the killing surfaced online Tuesday. Following the video's release, a large crowd of demonstrators marched in the neighborhood where Arbery was killed, and the state opened its own investigation, which the governor and attorney general pledged to support.

So what do we do when we learn about things like this? What can we do?

In a season where it feels like everything is cancelled, there's one thing that can remain: how we treat other people.
