Update on my writing and work to spread what is most valuable. My own life is a collision of major societal issues including family dysfunction, mental illness, gender wars, and church apostasy. My quest is to speak truth in a compassionate and courageous way to illuminate issues.

Hi guys! It's been a while since I updated youon working on my memoirs. I've had some incredible experience that's reallybuilt trust in the goodness of other human beings.... and I'm also convinced that organized religion needs to improve their ability to be inclusive and compassionate in ministering to people who have very difficult lives or shameful pasts. I will update you in my book is getting published but for now just hang out with me :)

For now I need to take a break due to the production schedule and emotional demands from the book I'm writing. The memoir of my marriage to a transgender person is coming out soon. In it I share from my heart a journey of learning. I also speak out about my beliefs regarding how this social issue should be handled in the context of families. It is complicated and emotionally draining to write a book like this and I need all of my reserves to cope with the process. Don't worry (you aren't worrying anyway I'm sure), but I'll be back when I can...different probably.... but still sharing that which I believe is priceless in living a meaningful life.

At my delightful middle age I finally started a scripture journal, and it has really helped me grow and overcome my weaknesses faster. I believe that when we give more attention to the answers God is giving us, he gives us more answers! And yes, I still have the flu, so I lovingly dedicate this episode to that *wonderful* virus!

To accomodate my busy writing schedule, I am changing uploads to be as follows:Mondays: COME FOLLOW MEWednesdays: SCRIPTURE STUDYFridays: MENTAL HEALTH...With some updates on writing as I go...The book that is getting ready to come out is on my marriage to a transgender person and how I have fought for traditional gender roles. I believe it is everyone's right to choose for themselves how to navigate gender in their lives, but for me, I want traditional roles in my home. My book tells my story. Thank you for your loving and kind support of my work on this channel! You are wonderful friends!

Are you worried about the suicide epidemic? If someone you love is suicidal, I'm sure you are especially concerned! In this episode I answer 8 of the most common questions about suicide, and also give the three things to rate when evaluating the risk level: 1. Does the person have INTENTION of suicide, 2. Do they have a PLAN for suicide, and 3. Do they have the MEANS to do it. As always, this is free advice given in faith that you will use all resources available to you and take responsible action to keep a loved one safe and is not a substitute for professional and competent medical and mental health care. Best of luck brave souls!

What do you do when someone is freaking out with crazy emotions or is suicidal? It can be tempting to try to control the situation, tell them they are wrong, or shout out a bunch of solutions (of course, safety first always with an imminent threat of suicidal actions). But ironically, the person is calmed down best if you follow three principals: 1. Look at the emotional out burst as an opportunity to connect; 2. Help them figure out what they are feeling; 3. Help them problem solve from THEIR own ideas... and of course, set appropriate limits as needed. These skills are "priceless" to me and I know they can help many other people!

Is anyone you know struggling to establish a romantic relationship? I discuss a case file of a young man caught in a pornography addiction, with likely attachment issues, and needs a rule out of Autism and intellectual problems with a psychologist. This would be a helpful discussion to listen to for those who have someone (especially a young man) in their lives who is struggling to establish healthy relationships. I could say SO MUCH MORE about many of the sub topics in this episode, but am skimming the surface hoping this will be of help to someone. Please feel free to send me a case that you'd like feedback on: comefollowmeshow@gmail.com
