![Ep. 93 | Letting Go of Toxic Relationships and Rising Again - It is Possible!]()
October 5, 2021
The story I’m sharing today is about a phoenix rising - Tina Krebs rose out of the ashes of her dark, toxic past and has flourished in a beautiful future. After getting up the courage to leave not just one, but two toxic relationships, she slowly picked up the pieces and put together a new life for her and her two children, one filled with renewal and hope and a new beginning.
This episode is not a light topic. We go pretty deep and heavy, and you may not want your children listening in on the topics we are covering. Tina has endured a very difficult past filled with lies, cheating, and abuse. It’s hard to tell the story without some of those details seeping in.
I hope her story encourages you to be brave and fight and stand up for what’s right. You never know when and if someone else will need you to stand by them.

![Ep. 91 | What Does Walking in Love and Justice Mean from a Biblical Standpoint?]()
September 28, 2021
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
What do we need to remember? The Bible is our standard, and it has outlasted time. We don’t get to pick and choose what we want to be true. We don’t get to change who God says we are just because we don’t feel like ourselves today. The Bible is our standard, and as Christians, we see things through that lens, that’s what a Biblical worldview is, and that is why it’s important for us to be in the Word, praying, journaling, studying, growing. If we are not solid in the Word of God, we could fall for anything.
So how do we take a stand on God’s Word in love, walking in love without changing our standards? How do you walk in love and justice from a Biblical perspective? What does this look like? What boundaries do we need to set up for ourselves? How do we not get walked all over yet continue to show love to others? How do we show love to the unloving?
These are questions of our day, and today is an encouraging conversation because I’m bringing on marriage and family therapist Jessica Hayes to help us navigate how to walk in love and justice without giving up our moral or Biblical standards.

![Do I Need to Get Involved in My School Board - Ways to Have a Voice in the Community]()
September 15, 2021
Thad Riley, who just finished his term on a New Hampshire school board, is with me today talking about many of the issues he faced while serving his term (he’ll leave us with some encouragement). It is important for us to be a voice for our kids and the next generation.
After serving over a decade in retail management with tech companies, in July of 2015, Thad Riley became a stay-at-home dad. In 2017 he ran for and won a Seat on his town's school board in New Hampshire, and his term ended this past March. He also finished his term as the Chair of the Republicans in his town.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:
- Issues members of the school board have faced over the past few years and why elections for the school board matter
- How parents can get involved even if they don’t have the capacity to serve on the board (he actually breaks this down into how we can make it about a 3-hour commitment per year)
- Where to find the resources to know what is being talked about and voted on in the school board meetings

![Part 1: What is Critical Race Theory? Cultural Views of CRT]()
September 7, 2021
Today is a hot topic for many, and I know it’s controversial in nature, but it needs to be talked about because it’s affecting our kids and the generations to come. Why? Because it’s seeping sneakily (and not-so-sneakily into our schools). Critical race theory.
What is critical race theory? It is the ideology that is behind most of the diversity and inclusivity training in school and the workplace, and these trainings are actually counterproductive because they’re leading to more bias and fear. It is a lens through which to see the world (a worldview) - it shapes how you view politics, theology, and education.
Critical theory sees everything as the oppressed versus the oppressor. It is deconstructing those constructs until they get down to fitting into this worldview of the oppressed versus the oppressor.
Why does this matter? What’s the big deal if our kids are being taught it in schools? Isn’t inclusiveness and diversity training a good thing? That’s exactly what I have Andrew Rappaport on with me to talk about today. The language in our culture is changing, and we need to be aware of what the truth is behind it all.
Andrew is the preaching pastor of Grace & Truth Bible Church in Bucks County, PA, and founder and executive director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community.

![Why Advocating for Your Children Matters]()
August 31, 2021
As our children’s parents and protectors, we need to be their largest advocate as well. In a world where society thinks it knows what’s best for our children, how do we do this? How do we fight for them and their needs, and why do we need to? Personally, what does it mean to advocate for my children? How do I become my child’s best advocate?
These are questions Julie Jones will help us answer today as we dive into how to advocate for our children and why advocating for your children actually matters.
As a mother of two daughters with hearing loss, Julie knew her journey was going to be a different one. Julie has 26 years of experience raising two daughters with hearing impairment and seeing them grow into happy, productive adults.
