Are We Raising Stronger or Softer Generations?

Are We Raising Stronger or Softer Generations?

Are we raising children who are protected or prepared? 🤔 In our desire to give our kids a better childhood than we had, have we accidentally made them less ready for the real world? Should children be shielded from failure… or allowed to struggle?  Is gentle parenting enough?  Are participation trophies helping or hurting?  How do we raise kids who are both emotionally healthy and spiritually resilient? In this episode, we unpack the balance between compassion and courage, protection and preparation, affirmation and accountability. Because one day, our children won’t just need safe spaces. They’ll need a strong foundation that is built now. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, youth leader, mentor, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Watch Episode 18 now and join the conversation with Dr. Michele Alignay: Are We Raising Stronger or Softer Generations? 📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 9am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.

Trauma or Excuse? Taking Full Charge Over Past Wounds

Mental health is real. The struggles are real. And the need for compassion is real. 👌 But here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: Have we become so afraid of offending people that we’ve stopped talking about personal responsibility? 🤔 When does mental health become a legit limitation? And when does it become a convenient explanation for behavior that should still be addressed? This week, we’re diving into the tension between empathy, accountability, and the truth about mental health with Registered Psychologist, the Director of LOJ Pastoral Care Center, Dr. Michele Alignay, PhD.  📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 9am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.

Will The Real Men Please Stand Up: Recaliming Manhood from Passivity

“If he doesn’t have money, he’s not worth dating.” “Level up or get left behind.” “Men should provide.” At the same time? Men are told they’re too toxic, too soft, too much, not enough. So where does that leave them? Confused. Pressured. Stuck. Wanting to step up but unsure what they’re even stepping into. In this episode, Mike and Velden unpack the tension shaping modern manhood from social media standards to silent expectations. They ask the question most men are afraid to face: Are you stepping into real manhood… or slowly slipping into passivity?

Lent: Meatless but Still Missed the Point

Most of us go through Lent thinking it’s about giving something up. So we fast. We sacrifice. We try to be “better.” But actually, there's so much more to Lent than just removing something from our life.  It was actually meant to return us to Someone. We can give up coffee, sweets, or scrolling… and still miss the point. So maybe it’s time to ask: 👉 Is my act of decrease increasing my connection to God?  This episode might shift the way you see Lent.  Listen to LENT: Meatless but Still Missed the Point with Mike Viñas, Velden Lim, and Fr. Joel Jason.  📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden tiktok.com/@veldenlim ⁦instagram.com/mikevinas⁩ ⁦facebook.com/mikecvinas⁩ tiktok.com/@mikevinas_ 🙌 Come to the faith communities we lead:  📍Feast Club United Sundays, 10am and 11:30am Ballroom, Club United Merville Access Rd, Parañaque 📍 Feast Alabang Northgate Sundays, 10am Filinvest One Bldg.
