The Benefits of Raising Kids in Church | S1 EP6
Raising kids in church - is it a burden? Or a blessing? In Episode 6 of our podcast, Mary and Stephanie Alessi unpack why making church a priority has been a game-changer in their family.
Raising kids in church - is it a burden? Or a blessing?
Is there such a thing as spending too much time in church as a family? And what results can you expect if your family makes church the top priority - even when your kids aren't too happy about it?
Pastor, songwriter and worship leader Mary Alessi and her daughter Stephanie continue their conversation from Episode 5 on growing up in the ministry, and confront the hard truths of being a 'church kid' and being exposed to ministry 24-7. Rather than focusing on the popular stereotypes, Mary and Stephanie unpack their very real experiences as mother and daughter, and explain why keeping church in the center of their family was such a game-changer.
Key Takeaways from This Podcast Episode
The problem with children who lose passion for church is not the quantity of time they spend there, but rather the attitude their parents model towards them.
There is always a season when children start to push back against their parents, but only parents who stand firm will see the benefits later on.
Living out the principles being taught at church and applying them at home is essential to helping children to adopt them as their own.
It's important for kids who are brought up in ministry to understand their roles, and never should be promoted before it's time.
Parents should always be wary of falling into complacency, simply because their children seem to have a level of faith, because seeds of pride and rebellion are not easy to spot.

Welcome to the family podcast.
Stephanie Alessi 0:12
Do you know the tagline, Stephanie? Where family is everybody's business! Boy ain't that the truth.
Too much of the truth
I love that tagline.
I love it. Because it's not only true, but it is. It is universal. Every single family knows your business is everybody's business in the family. So we're gonna talk about today.... being raised in ministry and being raised in the church, and what dad and I did or what we didn't do and what you learn from it, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
So I'm excited that you're here again.
I know I'm excited I'm here too. Our last conversation was really solid.
It was really great. We talked about music and writing together. And so now we're just going to talk about the truth, the ugly truth.
and we have to talk better. Let's talk stronger.
We've got to, we've got to be honest here
We have to be honest,
This is... this is the truth telling podcast. Yes. And I'm not going to get my feelings hurt.
Me either. Okay?
Me either.
promise?
I promise you maybe.
I'm gonna try. Lord Jesus. Come quickly. No spirit of offense.
no spirit offense.
Actually, when you talk about your childhood, sometimes it's easy as moms and dads, we don't remember things the way you remembered them. We.... Remember them from this, this place of the decisions we made for you. Were they good? Were they bad?
Yeah,
were they the right thing for you? Are you where you're happiest? Did we sow the right seeds in your life? So this conversation when you have with your kids, some people, some parents run from this conversation, because they don't really want to talk to their adult children about their childhood. But we need to talk about it. Because we were very specific with you and your brother and your sisters. We followed in our parents' footsteps as to the way we raised you guys with the same conviction. And really the same practices as far as church being the center. Jesus being the main thing, and I think we accomplished that. Were we perfect? No. Did we make mistakes? Yes. Did we leave you all in the car?
Yes we did. O
I'm not gonna lie. Did you live?
once? And yes, we did. And because somebody was there, thank you.
Someone came to the rescue.
But you survived.
No parent is perfect. We all make mistakes. Yes, we drop our kids from time to time. But the.. the intended goal for dad and I was that you guys would love Jesus with all your heart. Like if we know if we did that we did our job.
...the rest of it. We're not perfect. But we wanted to lead you to a relationship with Jesus Christ. So yes, I feel like we did that. And we're still on that path. And we're still on that road. But talk about a little bit your childhood what it was like.
your memories of being raised with church being like such a huge part of your life.
Sure. It was a lot of goldfish. A lot of Veggie Tales.
a lot of communion elements,
A lot of communion elements eating the bread afterwards, running around. Yes, it was the... it was probably the best way to be raised because talk about universal. Yeah, when you meet another church kid, it's like, oh, my God,
we live the same, exactly
The exact same life and you have the same jokes, you understand the same music, you understand the same sleeping patterns, because there really wasn't much of a sleeping pattern. It's the best, best way to be raised when you're a kid. And then you get older, and you start to form your own gifts or your own desires, and other ideas and stuff. And they have to be surrendered to the vision of working the vision that your parents have. And it is probably one of... what I love about it is you're constantly dying to yourself.
And you're constantly growing. If you're in a healthy family, you're constantly talking to your family about it. You're getting on the same page with your family. It's an adventurous, adventurous road. It is... it really is I feel like I remember when I was like 17 I was hanging out with a lot of adults. And I they were questioning why I would hang out with people older than me and not really people my age. And then I was like what because I've seen a lot of life before more than the average 17 year old and because we've... we've come alongside you guys and we watch people come in and out of the church and you hear of so many different stories and walks of life. And we see it right there in front of us.
So you learn a lot.
you learn so much.
You learn a lot about people, behaviors, patterns, what people do right what they do wrong. You do learn a lot and I wanted...
I want you to answer this question though. I want you to, to answer this honestly, did you ever feel like when you were younger, was there ever a time that you felt like you really wish we weren't at church so much... like that you could do things outside of church more. Did you ever struggle with that?
Saturday, when we had a Saturday night service? Yes, I remember when I was young, and people would hang out on Saturday night. But I had to go to church, for sure my immaturity was ...I was just really young at the time. And I think I was probably in high school, middle school, and my friends would invite me over Saturday night, but I would have to go to church because I was serving. But you know, that started to dissipate when I was finding my love for the church in my own niche in a ministry somewhere.
That started to go away because I was growing a vision and ideas and a passion for the ministry I was in. So I was looking more forward to showing up and executing that new series we had planned or that new song we had rehearsed. I was more excited about that than hanging out with friends. But yes, to answer your question, yeah, for a brief time. But I think the beautiful thing was you guys, you didn't just push church, you didn't just push the religion of church, you pushed the love of church.
And how the... the love that you can have for the people in that in a ministry, it's the best job you can take.
Yeah, it's true.
It's a privilege, a privilege, for sure.
It's a privilege. Because people come into the church giving their all to the church, when you meet the right people. They are there with their hearts wide open, that's looking for instruction. Looking for... some of them come from really broken pasts. Some of them are new Christians. Some of them are old Christians, and they just need recovery in church. And they... you have the honor of stepping into their life and helping them. So there's a lot of, you need to be prepared. And you need to be careful and and trained in doing so. But to know that somebody looks at you and says, Listen, I've had somebody say, I've prayed for God to confirm it with my parents, with my leaders and in you. And if you don't feel peace in this, then I'm not going to make that move.
And some people say that that's church abuse. But if you come from a healthy church,
yeah, that's key right there.
If you come from a healthy church that really listens to the Holy Spirit, and they love their people...
... more than they love themselves and more than they love their new series.
Then that's one of the most beautiful things in the world.
...because the relationship that's formed there. Anyways, we can keep diving into that. But I was taught to love the people and to love the church, because there's so much benefit in loving people.
Genuinely loving them, to.... to get into the trenches with them, to fight with them, to fight for them, to give to them, to come alongside them, to marry them, to be there when they have their first baby.
to be there.
When they're in the hospital.
It's the most beautiful career anybody could ever get in.
And I... I can say that when y'all were younger. And we were really new in the church. We'd started the church when Lauren who's 23 now, but she was.... I was I found out I was pregnant with her when we started Metro Life Church. Yeah. And so we had you and your brother, and you were a handful. You didn't like the nursery. You didn't like the nursery workers. You didn't like to go to church, and you were a baby. So we didn't listen to you obviously. Christopher loved it, because it was so social. And he's such a social person, just being around people was important. But you were a lot tougher.
And then I... a year later, you're 18 months old. And now I've got a brand new baby. And then a year later, I have another brand new baby. So we had four kids so fast. And I can remember, I'll never forget this. There was a man in the church whose kids were like 12, or 13, a boy and a girl. And I remember him telling us this story about the son and he did something that was just blew my mind that this kid at 13 would already do. And he wasn't coming, saying, "Hey, you know, my son did this crazy thing, will you pray for him? I want to get him in the youth group." He was laughing about it like, "Oh, that's what kids do." And I remember I had all you guys, you were babies, but I knew what I knew. I knew that being in church was all that Dad and I were going to enforce.
There's no other option.
No other options. We wanted you to do good in school, but not at the risk of missing church. We're gonna be in church, but the voices that come against parents is... and based also on the culture that you're part of. And I remember saying to him one time in the lobby, I said, you know, you just need to make sure that he's in church every Sunday and every Wednesday night, and he laughed at me.
And he said, I'll never forget it because it just shook me. He said, you're going to see when those babies grow up. It's not going to be as easy to put them in the car and get them to church. You're going to have to lighten up on that.
Stephanie Alessi 10:00
Mary Alessi 10:01
And I just remember going home, driving home thinking, am I gonna be lighten up on this? Am I going to... is forcing them to church, making them to come to church going to force them to rebel? And I remember saying to your dad, because your dad has always been more decisive and stronger than me in those moments. He said, No way. Don't you even listen to that. Yeah, no way. Well, you know, fast forward. And you know that, that young man has had a lot of difficulty.
And I remember getting to that, that place with Christopher when he was about 12. And he started that, I want to go out with my friends and I want to do this, I want to do that. And we put our foot down and said, well, you're not doing it. You're going to be at church with us. And if you're bored at church better, you're bored at church with me.
...Then bored with somebody else that I don't know that gets you into trouble.
And we just didn't facilitate a mindset to any of you guys that said the world's important too.
we just never did that. No, the church is the most valuable asset in your life.
That is the incubator for an incredible relationship with Jesus Christ.
And that's the most valuable thing you can contribute to other people.
I think that I always look at the prophet Samuel. It's probably one of my favorite stories, because I really do I, I know what Samuel experienced. He was raised in the temple, his mom dropped him off, left him there when he was three years old. And he was raised in the temple like...
Oh, it's incredible.
In the temple of the Lord, that was his home, and he slept there.
Yeah. That's an incredible picture.
Yes, he slept in the temple, he had a bed there. And what I ...what I, one note that I take from his story of when God called on him. The first two times he ran to his... the priest, his master. And what that shows is, he was trained, that before hearing the voice of God, you're going to hear the voice of the master, the voice of the priest. That before you start to learn what it's like for you to hear God on your own, you're going to learn what it's like to listen and to obey the voice of your parent and your priest and your leader.
That's so good Steph.
You don't know the voice of God, yet. God hasn't called on you yet. And it even says in those days, God's voice was dry. He wasn't speaking as much as he would as he was in the past. So you're not going to learn God's voice yet until you learn how to obey your parents' voice. And what it did was it taught me not to submit to my... he hasn't taught me to submit to my parents, but you taught me the art of submission. Yeah, the art of obeying, right? And obedience is way better than sacrifice. It's such a treasured virtue that is not that is not common nowadays.
No, it's not.
And once Samuel learned to obey the voice of his master, then the Master said, Okay, he's gonna call on you one more time. And then you position yourself and you say, "Here I am, Lord, what do you need from me?" And then it opened up that door to a relationship with the Lord. But he was in the house of God. He was in the temple, he was there sleeping, tending to the temple. And then even then, the...the own high priest's kids weren't serving the temple appropriately, and they were breaking the rituals. They were disobeying, they were angering the Lord. But Samuel remained so humble because he remained obedient to the Masters voice and to God's voice.
And I think people can look at that. And they, because you have pastors kids like that.
They're both raised in the church. But one is rebelling, and once or one's really, really dedicated, and people think "Oh, well the common denominator is you forced them to go to church. That's the problem."
Exactly, exactly.
It's like no, the lesson that Samuel learned that those other boys did not learn was, he was obedient. And he learned how to obey his parents, and then which in turn opened the door for him to obey the voice of God. Those other two kids, they never learned obedience. And the parent, the high priest never enforced obedience. He never pushed them to, he got later punished for that. Anyways, I can keep talking about it. But it's... you can't blame constantly being at church as the problem.
The problem is they didn't learn how to obey.
And then how is God going to entrust his voice and commands to kids who can't even trust their parents or obey their parents?
That's right. And we, you know, wow, if there was an applause if there was an audience we would all be going whoo! That is so powerful, Stephanie, because you have learned at a young age, the importance of not being set up before kings too soon. In other words, we're not... we're not man pleasers. We are God pleasers.
We... We don't obey.... We don't only obey man, but we obey God. And in turn, we are honoring and obeying man because we're serving the Lord. So we're not looking and we taught you guys, what we live by. We're not looking for promotion to come from the world, from the flesh, from our jobs, or from the church with a microphone in our hand. We're not... we hopefully we taught you guys that you never ever would allow the thought of "what about me? When's it going to be my turn?" Yeah, we never let that stay alive in you even as a seed.
We let you guys know even before we we knew the propensity and the plan of the enemy was to use that "What about me?"
Because we have this opportunity, 'Our parents are the pastor's.'
Yes, yes..
" And they're in charge and we can do anything". We came at that proactively.
Yes you did.
Even before it was ever a temptation. So we would warn you guys, listen, the temptation will be that you'll have these thoughts. Cast that down, that ain't never gonna happen here.
You're going to lead by example. And it started back...We were talking about this on the way to church today.
We were talking about how, even in the very, very beginning when y'all were babies, and we were in the hotel, we rented a hotel to have our services in and we had two large hotel rooms that we had adjoining and Mory and David, that were our kids ministry directors. Thank you, Jesus, they're still with us all these years later, they were phenomenal with his ministry at the time. And they would turn those hotel rooms into a kid's ministry. And it was so awesome what they did. But you would try to escape to be with mom and dad, and how they would run down the hallway and grab you and bring you back in and say no, you have to be in the nursery. And so we were talking about how easy it would have been for us, me and dad to just put you in church. "Well they want to be with us. And the poor kids, you know, they're away from us so much." But dad would say "how are we leading by example, when we do that?" If we don't put our kids in the nursery...
...What are we saying about our nursery? That is not even worthy enough for our own children, no. We lead by example. Our kids will be in the nursery and our children will be in the toddler room. Now you bit other babies, other babies bit you. But that's just being church kids. Yeah, that's what happens. You grew up, we never changed that formula.
You never got too big for your britches, or too good for an environment, nor did we give into feeling sorry for you, because you were here so much. And when you were here a lot, and we did feel bad about it, we would create other ways to make that more palatable for you.
And we're even helping some of the our staff members do the same thing with their children. Because they've seen what that process has... has brought.
Four young adult people that love the Lord. And this is the big thing... love the Church
Love the church.
Don't hate the church, aren't bitter at the church. Aren't mad, wounded, hurt. Yeah, I love Jesus. But I don't ever want to go back to church again. Yeah, how often do we hear that, Steph?
Yeah. And you know, I think that the trick was, we kept coming back to the relationship. thing that we relationship, relationship, relationship. Relationship with God, the relationship with others, and then relationship with the world. But the first is relationship with God. I've... rarely have I had Dad or you tell me, "We have to make the decision for the church people."
What are they going to say? Rarely has that been a discussion. Once or twice. And it's because legit, we were going to upset people, you know, but it's always come back to Steph, what about your own relationship with the Lord? Personal!
I remember I was 15, 14 struggling with that pride thing. And I was a worship leader. And Dad straight up told me "Oh, well, you know that Lucifer, he was a worshiper, and his pride is what brought him down from heaven. And you know, that's the devil." And he compared me to Lucifer!
He did, I remember that.
Because it was never a..."the church people are going to get mad if you act like that. That's going to look bad to the church people." That's not what it was. It was a, "you're gonna embarrass yourself, for sure. And we don't care if you embarrass yourself, but your relationship with the Lord, that's on you."
You're gonna have to stand before the Lord and say that was in your heart. And you never addressed it.
So it came down to my relationship with God. And then it turned into, okay, that I have to get this right with you. And in turn, gets right with my relationship with the church people, which then in turn, gets it right with my relationship with people not in the church in the world.
So it was always about us and God, it was never about appearances or the mask.... There was never a mask we put on that that wasn't it.
Because if you know you've hurt God, that's all that matters.
People will absorb that and say, Well, we've all made mistakes. And, you know, come here, we've all made mistakes, and we'll ...you know, we'll get through this together. But especially if you're in a loving church community. So we'd never felt like if our kids messed up publicly that there'd be this huge shame. We didn't care about that.
I mean, we didn't want you hurting others or yourself. But that's not what drove us.
What drove Dad and I and still drives us today with two of you, either on your way to get married or married, you and your brother, that we are believing God for our grandchildren to be raised with that same exact understanding that we're not trying to protect you from the the the negativity or the the shame of people.
What we want to keep you from doing is sinning or hurting the heart of God.
And when dad said that to you, I remember we were in the kitchen and you were talking about your worship list or something. And yeah, again, you were 16. And he just went there. Well, you know, Stephanie, Lucifer had his same problem. And he fell....and I remember thinking, that's too much, Steve.
But again, traumatized, traumatized.
And we will whack you with the Word.
I'll never forget it. Never.
Do you remember what he said to Lauren. When she was going through a struggle,
Oh my God.
That's the thing about Dad, he never waited for things to manifest to fruit. He would see it. He'd ask God, show me the seed.
And I'll never forget, we had like a family meeting. And we were talking about things and attitudes in the house and expectations. And when he went in...
Oh, man....
We'll let her tell the story.
But I remember sitting there going, "That's not her."
That's not her. And he said, there's a seed of rebellion.
Seed of rebellion.
And she was broken. And she was like, Dad, I'm not rebellious. I honor, I serve. He said, I didn't say you were rebellious. He said, I said there's a seed that's trying to take root. Well, here's the reality. Duh.
Of course there is.
We all got it.
Everybody has a seed of rebellion that the enemy is desperate to say, Where can I plant this?
and recognize it?
And then where can I water it?
And where can it grow? And in our children, if we have this mentality, Stephanie and you know where dad and I stand on this. If our children are somehow a little messiahs that that can do no wrong, that are always perfect. In us doubting their perfection doesn't mean we don't believe in our children.
We believe in our children. God's given us incredible people.
...to raise and to grow into wonderful human beings. But the devil has never changed and he's never gonna.
So what we have to do as pastors and parents, is say this. The devil wouldn't be much of a devil if he did not try to throw us all off our game and make our knees buckle by planting a seed unknowingly in the heart of one of our children. And we didn't see it.
And then somehow it got watered and we didn't see it. It got the fanned.... the flame was fanned.
And we didn't see it. And parents, we get busy. We... and we get busy. But we also fall prey. We've all done it to "Not my kids. Oh, no, my kids are good." And I'll tell you that that is not good language to... to use a lot.
... to say it's simply, it's always good to say about your children - And I can say this. I'm not an expert. But I can say this from raising four. And watching a lot of kids get raised.
Sitting on the front row, watching it all happen. And that's how we learn.
you know, we learn from other people's mistakes and the things they did well, yeah, we said we're gonna do that. Yeah. But it's not a good practice to keep saying that, because what happens is the enemy can quickly turn that into pride.
Oh, totally. They're too young to even recognize that the enemy is changing that.
Oh, and we as parents, it's our... it's our, like, our trophy to know we did well.
So the enemy can work in our hearts. And we don't even know it. We're fully unaware that that's happening. And it's better to say, yes, we're doing our part. We are raising our kids to love the Lord. But the enemy's tricky.
Yes, he is.
And I love those moms that aren't afraid to take the door off the hinges.
Even have the best kids to go in and search the drawers.
I love those moms. I heard a mom tell me, Stephanie several years ago and I my kids were little... I'm like, I love you. I never had to do this.
But it helped me keep my spirit open. She said, I saw my son. Something was changing in him. He was about 13, which is always a big age for boys. And the Lord woke me up and said, Go check his drawer. Well at that particular night he was at a friend's house. She got up and she said I had no reason to check his drawers.
I do his laundry. I organize his drawers. And she went in and found stuff. Yeah, that let her know but the Lord led her. Now, if she had had this mentality, "not my son, my son's perfect or not my daughter. No, they would never." It sets a trap for the enemy every time.
It does. And...to the pastor's kids, recognize that the devil will try to get at you. Yeah, he's trying to get at you. He's trying to get at the legacy. He's trying to get at the gifts that are getting passed down to you. Yes, you will experience tremendous blessing. The devil hates that. Recognize it. Be even more cautious,.
Be aware.
Be even more aware and serve even more than the regular volunteer because of that.
Earn the respect of the people that are closest to you even more than all the other ones because of that.
I think that every single pastor's kid, we know who the church inner circle is. We know it.
There's the outer circle, the people that come in and out... if they leave is not that big of a deal. But we know the inner circle.
I think what pastors kids don't realize is that inner circle, they know us.
they've watched us grow up.
They know us more than we know, ourselves. They've seen us, they probably visited us at the hospital when we were born.
Their kids were raised with our kids. They know us. And they are looking, they're watching us grow up. Those are the people you want to serve first.
Those are the people you want to serve first, because I have been to churches, where the pastor's kids were not respected by the inner circle.
No, it's true.
And in turn, years later, everybody started to not see... everybody saw it. Everybody saw Wow, okay, then this, they don't really earn our respect or not a respectable person. But it started in that inner circle. It's.... can we keep on going? It started in that inner circle. And if a pastor's kid, you know exactly those people that in your life that work the hardest for you, that work the hardest for your parents, work the hardest for your church. If you don't serve them first, serve your parents and then serve them?
Then who.... are you just trying to serve the people? Are you just trying to serve the stage? That's, that's gonna fall on you real quick.
The stage can be taken from you from one day to the next. But those people are there for life.
They're there for life. And if you can get their respect, if you can get a relationship with them, then you have a family that will be with you through every single season.
And it ....and you know, the truth of that is that applies not only to pastors' kids, but it also applies to all kids that come to church. We've got so many single moms that bring their kids and they want what they see us have. And the thing that we work at is to let them understand, this is not just for pastor's kids.
Yes, amen.
This, this is going to really bless a lot of pastors' kids, if you're listening to this or watching this, I know it will. And we can talk more about that. But to also include the parents that are saying, I'm going to take you at your word, Steve and Mary, and I'm going to do what you did. And we're not going to miss church. Our kids are going to know that church is priority, kids church is priority, and then they're going to stay in kids ministry. And when we get tired of forcing them, we're just going to push even harder. Because we're not giving into them. We want the fruit.
... that we see on your life. Well, let me just tell you, the way you get that fruit is you don't quit. You don't get weary in well-doing you continue. The pattern doesn't change, the process never changed. Do not compromise.
That needs to be the the prize you put your eye on... where you are focusing on your children and their relationship with the Lord is the main thing. It's what you're seeking for. And I will say that it's usually around that 10, 11, 12, 13 years of age that the... that the system can start to break down. Kids aren't interested anymore. They get a little bored. They might want to... they start becoming a little bit more turned away by the world.
And when, when, when that happens to you and it will, listen. Push in harder. Lean in harder.
Because you'll set it in concrete. And if you do that through that season, as you guys know, it gets easier after that age.
it just becomes more fluid because then they become leaders in the church. They start serving the... the inner circle that you talked about, sees you as parents push through the hard season, and they're all over that thing, how can we help you?
They do. And I think another thing is,what's so beautiful is, sort of changing it a little bit. But I always tell people whenever I'm just dismissing the crowd, and Dad preaches an incredible message. I always feel like they just got the second hand wisdom that I got first. My dad and you preached to us before he preached to the people. And they're just hearing wisdom I've heard that a week ago.
And it's really quite beautiful to see that they are...the church is going to see my dad act ... he's gonna say the wisdom on the stage that he said to us at home.
it's true.
And he's preached to us, he's spoken to us and not preach. We've had conversations, the conversation at home, about relationship with Jesus, not corny. Not let's speak in tongues and gather and everybody let's hear from the Lord. No raw, honest conversations about how are you feeling with you and God. Are you... are you bitter? Are you mad? Are you mad at me?
Let's get this... work this out right now, that's done more for my salvation than anything.
And what it's done is it's only made me more passionate to come and serve the church the way that my dad serves our home. And my....serve the worship team the way that my mom serves our home.
Wow. So Stephanie, you know, we always like to end our podcast with a random question that you have no idea I'm gonna ask you. I think we would all like to know, what was your most embarrassing worship moment or moment on stage?
I just ....Okay, so I was doing the welcome right after worship. So we just finished worship, we crashed out and everybody was clapping. And now I had to transition into the mix and into the sermon. So I everybody was standing and everyone was happy and clapping. And I said, Gosh, this church is just so incredible, isn't it? We're so happy you came and joined our service today. This church, we believe in three things relationship, relationship relationship, and we are such a socialist church here. Socialize. We love to socialize, we're so socialist here. And let's continue on with our service. Let's have a great day. Let's go, church. And everybody, one person, no claps, no claps because this is Miami. So they all just came from a socialist country. So it was so embarrassing, and somebody said, you just called our church socialist. And I was like, but isn't it and I had no idea the difference between socializing and socialist. So that was the most embarrassing moment on the stage. That's me.
It is always a pleasure talking to you. You just made my day.
So fun, mom.
I feel like we did good. And I ...I'm a good mom I guess. I'm gonna...
You're a great mom. You're the best.
Well, I'll be a grandma next. Let's see how I do.
Yes, you'll be a good one.
Great talking to you.
I love you mom.

Optis, a leading provider of people data services and cloud software solutions, has taken the next step in improving communication efficiency and workflow between leave-of-absence specialists and employees who are on a leave of absence by rolling out new enhancements to the LeaveXpert self-service portal.
The LeaveXpert self-service portal is offered with the Plus and Unlimited editions of LeaveXpert, Optis' cloud-based employee leave management system. The self-service portal is the platform where employees can request a leave of absence and provide details about their leave. The new enhancements facilitate two-way communication between the leave specialist and the employee in a centralized location. Employees can upload certifications and case notes about their leave to the portal, and the leave specialist can post letters and forms to the portal for the employee to view. Auto-generated email alerts are sent to both parties once a new piece of communication is added to the absence case, and all communication views are logged in the case history.

Japan defends dolphin hunt as slaughter ends in Taiji cove
By Brett Wilkins Jan 21, 2014 in World
Taiji - The Japanese government on Monday defended the island nation's highly controversial yearly dolphin slaughter as "traditional," "appropriate" and "a right" as the annual corralling, killing and capturing of hundreds of bottlenose dolphins came to an end.
CNN reports Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters at a Monday news conference in the capital Tokyo that marine mammals, including dolphins, are "very important water resources."
"Dolphin fishing is one of the traditional forms of our country and is carried out appropriately in accordance with the law," Suga claimed. "Dolphin is not covered by the International Whaling Commission control and it's controlled under responsibility of each country."
Kazutaka Sangen, mayor of Taiji, site of an annual dolphin slaughter made internationally famous by the Oscar-winning 2009 documentary film The Cove, also defended the hunting and killing of the highly intelligent cetaceans as a "right."
"We have fishermen in our community and they are exercising their fishing rights," asserted Sangen. "We feel that we need to protect our residents against the criticisms."
The criticisms were pouring in from all corners of the globe as Taiji fishermen finished their bloody work for the year. The Guardian reports some 250 dolphins were trapped in what activists claimed was the biggest roundup they've seen in recent years. CNN reported a total of 500 dolphins driven into Taiji cove this year.
Sea Shepherd activists, who each year intercept and harass Japanese whaling vessels and dispatch Cove Guardians to Taiji in hopes of saving as many cetacean lives as possible, claim 52 dolphins were selected for captivity. Those animals were kept alive, destined for aquariums and other forms of confinement. The "lucky" dolphins included a rare albino calf and its mother.
Of the remaining dolphins, some 40 were killed, one got caught in a net and drowned and others were released.
The union representing Taiji fishermen told reporters that a "more humane" method of killing dolphins was introduced this year. Their spines were sliced open on the beach in what fishermen said was an attempt to kill them more quickly and less painfully.
But a Sea Shepherd video showing dolphins splashing in desperate terror as they attempted to escape captivity and locate lost relatives and pod members appeared to belie claims of a more 'humane' hunt.
Condemnation of the Taiji slaughter came not only from the usual environmental and animal rights activists but also from the recently-appointed US Ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy, who tweeted her objection to the killing.
"Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing. USG (United States government) opposes drive hunt fisheries," Kennedy tweeted, referring to the method of hunting dolphins by driving them together with boats and herding them toward coves or beaches for slaughter.
Caroline Kennedy tweeted her objection to Japan's dolphin hunt.
Mayor Sangen responded to Kennedy's criticism by defending the hunt and inviting her to visit Taiji to "understand how we make a living from it."
"I understand her statement as an expression of concern on this debate," said Sangen. "There are always the people who say it's wrong and it's right, but what we have to see is if fishermen are hunting endangered species or not. They don't. We are fishing under permission just like the US does."
Other Japanese were more pointed in their criticism of the critics.
"[Kennedy] refers to humanitarian treatment of animals," tweeted @simaya. "What about the atomic bombing, Agent Orange and missiles falling on civilians in the Middle East?"

Arms company on target for eco-friendly bullets
British weapons manufacturer BAE Systems is working on lead-free bullets and a range of other environmentally friendly armaments in an effort to reduce battlefield contamination and health risks for the armed forces.

Share Arms company on target for eco-friendly bullets from edie via Email
A spokesperson for the company told edie it was in response to a request from the MoD to produce less environmentally hazardous weaponry and also in keeping with BAE's corporate social responsibility guidelines.
"There are no lead-free bullets as yet although it is a project we're working on. What we do have at the moment are reduced toxicity bullets," she said.
"We're also working on insensitive munitions which reduce the danger of handling and storage."
The company also has an environmental services wing which helps with the remediation of contaminated land where unexploded munitions may be present and expects to be involved in preparation for the flurry of construction in East London in the run up to the Olympics, as the area was heavily bombed during the Blitz.
Other environmental work include a kind of modern day transformation of weapons into ploughshares, with plans to convert unused munitions into fertiliser so they can be safely disposed of on agricultural land rather than being detonated and soundproofing of military vehicles to protect those using them from long-term hearing damage.
Asked if she saw any contradiction in a company which produces weapons of war trying to keep the environment healthy, the spokesperson said: "No, absolutely not. We see it as our responsibility as a company and take seriously anything we can do to act in a more environmentally friendly manner.
"The manufacture of our products has a very low impact compared with other industries but where we can do things like change the kind of materials we use, we will consider it.
"By reducing any toxicity in our munitions where possible we can reduce the impact…not only for the working environment for our employees, but the environmental damage in the long term."
Those morally opposed to war have questioned the company's actions, however, refusing to accept that weapons and environmental credibilty can go hand in hand.
Symon Hill, a spokesman for the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, told edie he believed the plans were little more than a greenwash.
"I don't think it's possible for a weapon to be environmentally friendly," he said.
"To say that something that is designed to cause as much damage as possible shouldn't harm the environment is supremely illogical.
"Historically weapons have worked by contaminating the land and water as well as just killing somebody.
"The real way you can reduce the damage is by not selling weapons to governments that could be spending their huge arms budgets on environmental protection."
The BAE spokesman refused his claim that this was a greenwash, saying the company had not actively publicised its work and was simply responding to the health and safety needs of its employees and the demands of its customers, in this case the MoD.
"We recognise that other people will have other opinions and respect their right to have these opinions," she said.
"But as a large company employing over 90,000 people globally, we believe that it is our responsibility to take steps to protect the environment where we can."

1  11:00:00 13:00:00
2  14:30:00 16:00:00

Now I try to make a query that checks if a timespan overlaps with one of these timespans (and it should return any time spans that overlaps).

*

*When I try 14:00:00 - 15:00:00 it should return the second row.

*When I try 13:30:00 - 14:15:00 it shouldn't return anything.

*When I try 10:00:00 - 15:00:00 it should return both rows.
It's hard for me to explain, but I hope someone understands me enough to help me.

A: When checking time span overlaps, all you need is a query like this (replace @Start and @End with your values):
For non-overlaps
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE @End < tbl.start OR @Start > tbl.end

Thus, reversing the logic, for overlaps
SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE @End >= tbl.start AND @Start <= tbl.end

A: Assuming your timespan is denoted by two values - lower_bound and upper_bound, just make sure they both fall between the start and end:
SELECT *
FROM   my_table
WHERE  start <= :lower_bound AND end >= :upper_bound

A: Here is the SQL fiddle http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/e4aee/37
You can also use BETWEEN operator, comparatively this should be faster than using three logical expressions in WHERE clause
SELECT *
FROM
(
  SELECT CONCAT(CAST(HOUR(TD) AS CHAR(2)), ':', CAST(MINUTE(TD) AS CHAR(2)), ':', CAST(SECOND(TD) AS CHAR(2)))  AS DT1
  FROM DUMMY
) A
WHERE DT1 BETWEEN '14:03:02' AND '18:01:01'

Olivet Nazarene University and DEG Launch Campaign for Innovative Education Initiative
Olivet Nazarene University announces Your Way, a ground-breaking initiative which features tuition-free general education courses, providing adult students with a pathway to earn a bachelor's degree and creating a model that redefines the learning experience by using best-in-class technology to engage students online.
"Olivet Nazarene has created a truly revolutionary program to meet the needs of adults looking to continue their education. We have really enjoyed working with it to bring the initiative to life and developing messaging that speaks to this one-of-a-kind offering."
—Tug McTighe, Executive Creative Director of DEG
Your Way is an online, completely asynchronous flipped classroom, where students are able to read and consume the course material first and enter an online community to discuss the content with classmates and faculty to expand their knowledge and deepen understanding. Course content is created ahead of time, allowing Olivet's faculty to educate at scale.
"Through Your Way, general education courses are tuition-free so that adult students from across the nation have equitable access to college," explained Ryan Spittal, Vice President for Olivet's ONU Global division, which serves adult students. "Since every student has to take general education courses before taking the courses specific to their degree program, this tuition-free general education initiative flattens barriers and bends the cost curve, allowing students to take courses with no up-front costs."
The courses, themselves, also have been reimagined. The new, dynamic learning experience is designed to provide bite-sized lessons, with knowledge-check quizzes, tests that have immediate feedback, learning activities that foster student engagement, and gamification badges earned for every module of content to keep people motivated. Students have unlimited re-takes for homework and tests, ensuring that these assessments promote understanding without negatively affecting the students' grade in the course. That means they don't have to spend their time worrying about their success and can concentrate fully on learning and understanding the course content by engaging with faculty and fellow students.
"With 15 years in the online market, Olivet knows that compelling content is important, but we feel that facilitating connection in an online environment is key to effective education," said Spittal. "It is more important now than ever before, especially in this social-distancing culture, to provide a quality education and moment-making connections in an online experience that reflects our supportive on-campus ethos."
For that reason, the program is built on Trailhead, Salesforce's wildly popular online learning platform, and uses its Experience Cloud platform, where Olivet has developed its digital campus, called the Wayfinder Community. Students can enter their virtual classroom in Wayfinder, and they also can engage their advisor, receive help from staff, and collaborate with peers in a secure online environment. The always-on community allows students to learn and engage from anywhere, on their schedule, using any device.
"Technology has the potential to transform the world, including increasing access to education. It takes organizations like Olivet Nazarene to see that potential and turn it into a reality. By democratizing education, and making it more accessible, Olivet Nazarene is unlocking opportunities for its students, and creating a better future for us all," says Rob Acker, CEO of Salesforce.org.
To drive awareness of the program, ONU partnered with DEG, one of the fastest-growing marketing agencies in the country and a Salesforce consulting partner, to spread awareness and excitement through an omnichannel campaign that launched on January 12. DEG created #ONyourway to drive engagement on social media and focus on the cost-saving and convenience aspects of the initiative, as those are large barriers to adults who have some college but no degree.
"Olivet Nazarene has created a truly revolutionary program to meet the needs of adults looking to continue their education," said Tug McTighe, Executive Creative Director of DEG. "We have really enjoyed working with it to bring the initiative to life and developing messaging that speaks to this one-of-a-kind offering."
Spittal followed up, explaining, "We know universities must bend the cost curve to help adult students return to college to earn a degree and equip themselves to contribute to the knowledge economy. Through this pathway, we truly are living our mission and proving that higher education has a higher purpose."

(chemmonitor) -- The Belgium-headquartered company SolVin operates polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plants at Tavaux site (France) and at Jemeppe site (Belgium). The company recommenced the operations at the facilities after the shutdown caused by force majeure in early February.
This force majeure was driven by weather conditions, which influenced the production of K70 and K57 at Tavaux plant and all the grades at the Jemeppe one.


"How do I know if I'm ready to counsel for baptism?" a teenage girl in my congregation asked me.
But she was asking for counsel; she just wasn't asking her minister. And she couldn't be persuaded that it might be a good idea. Like many people—young and old alike—she was afraid to go to someone in authority.
It is in our nature to fear authority (Romans 8:7). That same enmity that the natural, carnal mind has for God the Father extends out to His ministry—and really, to any authority figure.
We all need to respect the authority figures in our lives. In particular, we need to develop a strong bond with God's ministry. Why? Because God knows it benefits us immensely. In 2 Corinthians 1:24, He calls them helpers of our joy.
What happens when young people do not have solid relationships with those who have more experience and wisdom?
Consider the story of King Rehoboam, son of Solomon. He had a decision to make. The people of Israel complained that there was too much of a tax burden on them, and they asked him to lighten their load. The new king went to the elders of Israel, who gave this advice: "… If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever" (1 Kings 12:7).
After receiving that counsel, he went to his friends: "But he forsook the counsel of the old men … and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him …. And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him; And spake to them after the counsel of the young men …" (verses 8, 13-14).
King Rehoboam listened to his peers rather than those with more experience, and what happened? The nation of Israel was split in two! Rehoboam had to flee to Jerusalem, and Jeroboam became king over Israel, leaving Rehoboam as king of only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and part of Levi. The Israelites even stoned King Rehoboam's tax collector.
What about your life? Have you found yourself in a situation where you weren't quite sure what the right decision was? Should I go see this movie? Should I attend this dance? Should I go skydiving? Is playing paintball appropriate? God has given you people in your life who can help you address those issues: parents, grandparents and yes—ministers.
But for them to help, we have to confide in them.
Many people rarely have the opportunity to ignore advice because they don't seek it out in the first place! Contact with God's ministry should not be an ominous cloud hanging over our heads. One of the ministry's primary functions is to increase our joy.
"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end," (Proverbs 19:20). We should all aspire to have wisdom, and counsel is a primary way to attain it.
We often talk about the "big four": prayer, study, meditation and fasting. Counsel is just as important. Pastor General Gerald Flurry has said that when you counsel with the ministry, your stock always goes up.
That said, if you do find yourself debating whether or not to ask a minister a question, ask the minister what he thinks!
The ministry is on your side.Helping you overcome a problem you have is an expression of love for you.
The correction you receive from the ministry actually comes from God. That contact with the ministry is a tool our Father in heaven has specifically designated to help you overcome your problem.
In the February 2009 Philadelphia News, Mr. Flurry talked about an event where he did not get to spend as much time with the AC students as he would have liked and how critical it is for young people to talk to those who can teach them about God: "Nobody plans to hide out, but if we are not careful, we can all get into the habit of drifting along.
"We can fall into a carnal comfort zone. More mature people can help to lift immature people out of that zone. … At times we have to be corrected and do things better.
Mr. Flurry also talked about how important that sort of contact was in his own life: "At Ambassador College, I would have done anything to spend more time with Mr. Armstrong! I knew that spending time with those who knew the most about the Family of God was critical to my education." If it was critical for our pastor general to spend time with those who knew more about God, it is certainly critical for all of us as well.
Find out firsthand what benefits you can receive from increased contact with the ministry. We all need to receive instruction and wisdom from those with more experience than we have. In order to accomplish that, God has provided us with an invaluable tool: His ministry, the helpers of our joy.

Tips for Marketers to Best Leverage Instagram
By Luis Sanz
Instagram, one of the most popular social media platforms on the web, recently hit 150 million active users. Within this army of amateur photographers lies a marketing opportunity that many brands are already including as part of their overall media strategy.
Innovative brands and e-commerce sites now have a way to harness the power of photo sharing to improve customer relationships and enhance the feedback loop. Whether you're already leveraging Instagram or not, here are some of the top tips that will help you maximize customer engagement and return on investment on the platform.
Treat it as another content channel. Chances are that you have an existing strategy for your editorial content — e.g., an editorial calendar including topics of focus. Instagram is no different from other content channels in that it's important to maintain a steady pace of posting around relevant topics that interest your audience. Sample content ideas that often resonate with consumers include:
alternate shots of existing products;
sneak peeks of upcoming products;
creative uses for your products;
photos and videos of your brand ambassadors and representatives; and
behind-the-scenes photos and videos that relate to the lifestyle that your brand represents.
Focus on one or two hashtags. Hashtags are one of the easiest ways to build a brand on Instagram. Instead of using a "spray and pray" strategy for your hashtag, you should define just a couple of hashtags and stick with them. Limiting the number of branded hashtags will help your followers to better remember and identify them with your brand. For example, many brands have been very successful building campaigns around specific hashtags, such as Coach's #coachfromabove and New Balance's partnership with Heidi Klum, #HKNB, which drove a conversion rate of 39 percent.
Alternate photos and videos. Video was introduced to Instagram in June, and the offering has already gained tremendous activity within the platform. Case in point: Instagram videos from brands generate up to seven times more engagement than photos. Marketers should aim to combine easy-to-create photos with more elaborate videos for improved results.
Engage in conversations. Users are already taking photos and videos of products and posting them on Instagram, making it crucial for brands to actively insert themselves into these conversations. You should not only engage with these users by liking and commenting on their posts, but also by boosting their role as a brand ambassador by promoting their content as much as possible.
Display photos of your customers where they're most relevant. It's no secret that consumers like to research products before buying in order to make the most informed purchase as possible. In the same way that consumers trust reviews from strangers more than a review directly from a brand itself, you can leverage Instagram photos and videos to present happy customers using your product. This type of integration leads to several benefits, two of which include:
prospects can now see how your products look on a regular person, which will help sales conversions; and
featuring existing customers on your product page helps increase their loyalty and ultimately repeat sales.
Focus on ROI. The Instagram community has repeatedly demonstrated that it can easily be alienated if you disrupt their experience using the app. Instagram isn't simply a medium to repost your online ads; rather, it's a place in which you should leverage beautiful photo and video content to promote your brand. Marketers must also be aware that many brands focus entirely on social aspects while neglecting a huge component, ROI. Instagram is a platform where active (and vocal) users are voluntarily engaging with brands. It's vital that marketers link this engagement to real sales through attracting new customers and engaging with existing fans on the platform.

Every time someone asked me how was my rafting trip in the Grand Canyon, it always started with, "It was awesome!". I have nothing bad to say even with my cut knees and eating/breathing/sleeping sand, it all was part of the experience and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I owe my wonderful experience to the guides. I enjoyed all the history lessons, fun facts, and jokes (love the accent too, Steph). They kept us safe and was very helpful. I definitely have to give a shout out to Brandon and Char, your visiting guides. It did not go unnoticed by my fellow riders (we talk) and myself, all the work they did. Oh yes, and finally we were fed very well.
Since this is a review and I am sure you want to always improve. If I have any suggestion, it would be to add to the brochure a difficulty rating on hikes. I know that you advertise that this is a river rafting trip so the rapids are rated but the hikes should be just as important because you get a lot of different ages on your trips and it helps the riders determine if the hike is within their ability. Please do not stop the hikes because they are all part of the experience.
Overall, I want to say "thank you" for the awesome experience and the awesome memories that I will have with me for the rest of my life! FYI, and in case you can't see (blow it up), my favorite pictures are always going to include my animal friends.

This original, one-of-a-kind watercolor painting of the 1968 Cincinnati Reds uniform is the original artwork that was used in the creation of this Cincinnati Reds uniform evolution print and tens of thousands of other Cincinnati Reds products that have been sold across North America. This original piece of art was painted by artist Nola McConnan for Maple Leaf Productions Ltd.
This is a classic home jersey - simple and elegant. There is no piping, pinstripes, or unnecessary colors - simply a classic Reds logo and a uniform number. This Reds logo first appeared in 1967, and a modest variation of it is still used today. Catcher Johnny Bench is awarded with Rookie of the Year honors this year, and goes on to become a Reds legend and arguably the greatest catcher of all time.


CONTRAPUNTO | COUNTERPOINT includes works by artists Clemencia Labin and Alex Trimino. For both artists the materials, crafts and shapes acquire new meanings, encompassing metaphors such as the pursuit of perfection or the connection between past, present and future through the use of technologies and techniques.
For many years Labin's work dealt with the interaction between color, form and space. Just as important as the work itself was the atmosphere surrounding it. Examples such as Confeti; Mi Cuadro; Pasta; Cassata, where commonly the figures seem to blend with their backgrounds creating optic movement and different textures and color fields are put together with heavy borderlines. The Pulpa Chic Series began in 2001 with partly quilted (meaty) object-paintings using cloths and acrylic paint. They had a sort of pop prefabricated beautiful look that reflects today's values and way of life, in which nature is often modified to achieve the ultimate desired artificial perfection.
Alex Trimino presents illuminated totem poles, covered in crochet, knittings and found objects reveal the similarities between the modern, hi-tech materials used (micro-controlled neon lights) and the colloquial, lo-tech crafts used (crochet, knittings and weavings); creating an equilibrium between traditions, technologies and generations. Old ways and new technologies commingle together; exploring how we connect to reality today. Using embroidery and technology a connection between past and present is created. Trimino' particular interested is placed in comparing the hyperbolic geometry used intuitively in crochet with the hyperbolic geometry used in programming microcontrollers in order to show the similarities between old traditions and new technologies, while emphasizing the contemporary relevancy of crafts.


This waterproof and durable fabric is made from sustainably grown banana plant fibres, is fully biodegradable and has the potential to replace the technical plastic materials dominating the market for outdoor applications today. With Bananatex®, QWSTION launches a material revolution that they have been working on for the past four years, demonstrating the brand's mindset of doing instead of proposing. In a striking installation entitled "Shelter" at the Alcova space during Milan Design Week, the designers behind QWSTION showcase the potential of this new material which was conceived as an open source project, with the goal of encouraging other brands to use it. With Bananatex®, QWSTION offers a concrete, plastic free answer for our current geological age, with human activity being the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
Behind the development of Bananatex® is a collaboration of Swiss bag brand QWSTION, a Taiwanese yarn specialist and QWSTION's weaving partner based in Taipei, Taiwan. These three parties partnered up to engage in the intense development and production process behind the new fabric, united by the drive to make a positive impact on the planet's future. Bananatex® is the world's first durable, waterproof fabric made purely from Banana plants. Cultivated in the Philippines within a natural ecosystem of sustainable forestry, the plant requires no chemical treatments such as pesticides or extra water. Its self-sufficiency has made it an important contributor to reforestation of areas once eroded by Palm plantations, whilst enhancing the prosperity of local farmers. Bananatex® is incredibly strong and durable, while remaining soft, lightweight and supple. The natural wax coating gives it a smooth, waterresistant finish and a supple hand feel. The white colourway reflects the actual color of the fibres and is not dyed or bleached.
In a first instance, Bananatex® has been developed for QWSTION's collection of everyday bags. But the ultimate aim is to share the material they have developed and encourage other brands to use it, in order for it to become a true alternative to the synthetic fabrics dominating the market.
Four decades ago petroleum based plastics set out to change the world, offering limitless possibilities for design and production at "democratic" prices. Consequently, the use of plastics spread into every corner of our lives and changed the world, but not only in good ways anticipated back then. Pollution caused by plastic is one of the big unsolved issues of our time, as currently only 9% of all plastic items produced end up being recycled. Solutions are needed, both in terms of how to deal with the plastic released in to our environment, as well as alternatives to plastic for the most common applications.
Why are the vast majority of weather resistant textiles made from environmentally harmful fibres? The answer is simple: it's cheaper – largely due to the fact that fewer humans are involved in the process of making synthetic textiles, compared to their plant-based counterparts. This leads to another pertinent question: Is it better to prioritise consumer accessibility via a low price point, or to offer a steady source of income to a greater number of people? Our arrival in the Anthropocene has a lot to do with these questions that point at humanity's dilemma.
Banana tree family locally known as "Banana Hemp" or "Abacá" were conducted. Its immense potential was immediately apparent. Thus, three years of research and development resulted in a new material that answers questions of environmental, economic and social sustainability.

Kai Havertz transfer boost for Chelsea as Bayer Leverkusen exit Europa League
Chelsea target Kai Havertz may have played his final game for Bayer Leverkusen after they exited the Europa League with a 2-1 quarter-final defeat to Antonio Conte's Inter Milan.
The 21-year-old scored Leverkusen's only goal of the game, slotting through the legs of Samir Handanovic for his 18th of the season.
Having already brought both Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to Stamford Bridge, Havertz now tops Frank Lampard's transfer wish list as he looks to build a new-look attack.
Standard Sport understands the highly-coveted youngster is desperate to play for Lampard and Chelsea next season, while the west London club believe they can strike a deal in the region of £70million.
Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller has insisted Chelsea will receive no discount for the youngster but - most prominently - the German club had remained adamant Havertz would not leave before the end of their Europa League campaign.
In defeat to Inter, that roadblock is now out of the way for Chelsea, who now just have the task of agreeing a fee and personal terms to land their man.
Prior to the game, manager Peter Bosz was full of praise for Havertz, who he believes to be the best player to ever play for Leverkusen.
"He's the best player I've seen at Bayer," Bosz said. "We had Emerson, [Michael] Ballack, Zé Roberto and Kroos – he tops them all."
Given that Ballack won 19 major trophies in a glittering career, including seven at Chelsea, that's certainly some statement.
And with Leverkusen now out of the Europa League, Chelsea have received a major boost in their pursuit of the star to be.
Werner backed to become a Chelsea 'great'... but it will take time
Willian undergoes Arsenal medical after Chelsea exit
'A class act': Chelsea pay glowing tribute to Arsenal-bound Willian
Lampard insists tired Chelsea will be 'ready to go' for new season
