Rachel calls in to the hotline today to Talk To Me about her struggles with feeling secure standing alone. After the loss of her husband, she realized she'd never really dealt with abandonment wounds from the past, and is having a really hard time feeling secure in her singleness. How can a person begin to develop that confidence, and even enjoy being alone? Is it wrong to have a desire for a relationship, and how do you know if your desire for connection is healthy or unhealthy? We cover this and more, in today's episode of Talk To Me!

Consider this your invitation to live the rooted life. The rooted life is an anchored life and a nourished life. We've chosen to describe the rooted life this way: Live a Rooted Life Prayer, Scripture, and Worship are at the heartbeat of our relationship with God. Through Scripture and prayer, we seek God's presence, listen for His voice, and align our hearts with his will. Through worship, we respond to who God is with gratitude, reverence, and joy. Like the three legs of a stool, worship, scripture, and prayer, form the foundation of the rooted life. Through the rooted life you will begin to experience God in a new way. Your faith will go to the next level. You will live anchored and rooted to God. Think about what roots do. Roots provide stability for a tree, don't they? They keep it anchored to the ground. Strong roots will keep a tree from falling under the pressure of a storm. With strong roots, a tree can endure the strongest of storms. If you live the rooted life, so will you and so will your faith! You will flourish and you will grow strong even through storms! A second thing roots do. Roots nourish a tree. They feed it. A good root system helps keep a tree healthy and vibrant. Strong roots feed a tree. They literally keep it alive. In the same way, you need the nourishment of being rooted in Christ to feed your soul. This language of being rooted in Christ flows right out of Scripture. “So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him, being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with gratitude.” (Colossians 2:6–7, CSB) Join us this weekend as we discuss the importance of living a rooted life. The alternative leads to futility, frustration, and failure.

Dr. Melissa McRae, founder of Vitality Natural Wellness, joins us for a powerful and practical conversation about what really happens to women’s bodies during perimenopause and menopause, and why it matters far beyond personal health. We dig into everything from gut health and hormone shifts to workplace burnout and self-advocacy. Dr. McRae explains why symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and brain fog are often misdiagnosed, how women are quietly exiting the workforce because they feel unsupported, and what it actually means to take a whole-body approach to wellness. This episode is packed with insight, validation, and small steps you can take to better support yourself or someone you love, because wellness isn’t just personal. It’s how we show up for the village we’re building. If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart.

Ever feel like you know what habits would support you—but actually sticking to them feels impossible in military life? Between PCS moves, deployments, unpredictable schedules, and constant transitions, most habit advice simply doesn't work for military spouses. And the problem isn't discipline; it's design. In this episode of the More Than a Milspouse Podcast, we're breaking down what to focus on if you want sustainable change. This isn't about rigid routines or doing more. It's about building habits that flex with military life, support your identity, and work even when everything else feels uncertain. You don't need more willpower. You need habits that are built for military life.

When Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God, He would almost always use a parable. A parable is a made-up story from the real-world Jesus often used to illustrate life in the Kingdom of God. I would like to tell you a true story to illustrate relationships in the Kingdom of God. And, borrowing from Jesus' approach to how He introduced parables, I will begin like this: The Kingdom of God is like a five-year-old little girl whose parents signed her up for swim team, and she absolutely loved it. In fact, at her pool, she was known as the friendly swimmer because she would swim with her head out of the water and grin the entire time. However, she lost every race, which was so odd because she was taller than most of the kids. She was strong and lean, but she still lost every time. And at the end of the season, her parents said, “Do you want to do that again?” She said “yes!” So season two comes along and now she's six years old and once again, same outcome. She smiled, waved, and lost every race. And then about halfway through season two, her mother was talking with her daughter about the swim meet that evening, and she looked at her daughter and she said, “Okay, honey, get out there and win this race.” Startled, the little girl looked at her mother and said, “Wait, it's a race? I thought we were here to meet people!” Of course she did. What else would you do at a swim MEET? She was competing, but she was competing in a different race for a different prize, and nobody knew. So they judged her on her performance based on a set of rules that she never even subscribed to in the first place. And they said she lost, but in the competition she was engaged in, she won. She won every time she met someone new. In the Kingdom of God, it's not about competing or winning or dominating. If it's a competition, we certainly compete for a different prize. The Kingdom of God is about relationships where people serve one another and give themselves away for one another. It's about meeting people right where they are. The Kingdom of God is a place where love is the ultimate value, and we are invited to participate in it every single day. Join us this weekend as we discuss our mission as a church and why it is so important that we live it out.

God has empowered YOU to lead! Whether you are surrounded by little ones at home or managing a team of hundreds—God has given you an assignment. True leaders serve others and follow Jesus' example of leading with humility and grace. Empowerment is found in surrender trusting God to guide our lives for His purpose and glory. In this conversation, Laurie Crouch, Sheila Walsh, Lisa Bevere, Janice Gaines, & Dr. Donna Pisani share how women are empowered to lead with humility, guided by faith, and shaped by God's purpose. ---- If you want to go deeper, we encourage you to check out this blog, How Jesus Empowers Women! ------- If you missed last week's conversation, we encourage you to go back and listen to “How God Sees Women.” ------- Do you want more Better Together?

Why does change feel so hard—especially for military spouses? If you've ever told yourself you just need more willpower, motivation, or discipline, this episode challenges that belief. In this episode of More Than a Milspouse, we unpack why habit change often fails in military life and why stress, PCS moves, deployments, and constant unpredictability make traditional approaches to change ineffective. You'll learn the three biggest myths about change, why willpower and motivation don't work long-term, and how shame keeps military spouses stuck in cycles of starting over. We'll also introduce a more compassionate, sustainable approach to habit change—one that works with real military life, not against it.

We are so excited to celebrate the official launch of my new book People Skills today! People Skills offers 31 transformational social skills that will strengthen your interpersonal relationships, increase your influence, and help you create meaningful interactions. Rooted in Scripture and informed by science and psychology, this roadmap offers practical lessons on empathy, clear communication, listening, body language, conflict resolution, attachment styles, and more.  As we continue this People Skills series on the show, I'm joined today by Anthony, who called in to Talk To Me About how to move past the hurt he experienced at his past church. Anthony talks through the church hurt he experienced after serving relentlessly at his last church, and after giving so much yet getting so little in return.  This episode takes an interesting turn when I start to notice this pattern of “giving too much” in Anthony's life and history…and we start to make some really significant connections. Learning to own your role in a relationship is a really important people skill, and it's one that we discuss in depth in this important episode of Talk To Me. If you've been hurt in relationships, again and again, it's time to start looking for patterns. This episode will help you learn how.

Many of us grew up in church learning what not to do when it came to sex, but never learning what it was actually for. In this message, we explore how silence and shame have shaped our understanding of desire, and why that silence hasn't protected us, but it's hurt us. Walking through Song of Songs 1, we discover that God isn't embarrassed by desire and doesn't treat our bodies as problems to fix. Instead, He speaks honestly about love, attraction, and covenant. The gospel frees us from both shame and distortion, reshaping our desires into something good, sacred, and life-giving within marriage.

This season's stories all share the theme of "Better Together" and were recorded live at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in Albert lea, MN on February 8, 2025. Our first story features Apryl Gorton. After getting a really difficult medical diagnosis, Apryl reflects on the necessity of adapting, relying on loved ones, and choosing to move forward together.

In this episode of Better Together, it’s just Brittany and Maddie in the studio for an honest check-in about big transitions, closing chapters, and what comes next for the podcast. They reflect on the “snake year” and “nine year” energy of 2025, and talk through what they’re actively releasing as they step into a new cycle.Along the way, they get specific: Maddie shares what it’s like moving from “mom of babies” into the season of raising humans, and Brittany opens up about the clarity behind a major move to Delaware for a new leadership role as Source Media expands. They also explain what this shift means for Better Together. And, as always, they leave you with a question to carry into your own life: what are you shedding, and what are you ready to nurture next?

https://teachhoops.com/ Adversity is not an obstacle to your season; it is a required ingredient for building a championship culture. Whether it is a key injury, a heart-breaking loss on a buzzer-beater, or the "January Lull" where the grind starts to wear on your players, these moments are "Character Audits." As a coach, your reaction to adversity sets the ceiling for your team's resilience. If you remain poised and "solution-oriented," your players will mirror that stability. The goal is to shift the narrative from "Why is this happening to us?" to "What is this teaching us?" By reframing a mid-season slump as a necessary test, you prepare your team for the inevitable pressure of the postseason, where mental toughness is the ultimate tie-breaker. To navigate adversity effectively, you must lean into your "Core Values" and "Non-Negotiables." When things go wrong, the natural instinct of a team is to fragment and play "hero ball." This is when you must "double down" on your system. Use film sessions not to point fingers, but to show where the standards slipped. Remind your players that they are "Better Together" and that the "Power of the Unit" is what will carry them through the storm. In your mid-season mentoring calls, focus on "Emotional Consistency"—maintaining the same intensity and belief whether you are on a five-game winning streak or a three-game skid. This consistency builds "Trust Equity," ensuring that your athletes don't panic when they face a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. Finally, remember that the most enduring legacies are built in the "Valleys," not just the "Peaks." A team that learns how to fight back from a deficit or handle a difficult coaching decision develops a "competitive scar tissue" that makes them nearly impossible to break. Celebrate the small wins during these tough stretches—a player's bench energy, a teammate's defensive rotation, or a successful execution of a sideline out-of-bounds play. By focusing on "The Process" rather than the "Result," you keep the team's eyes on the horizon. When you eventually emerge from the adversity, you won't just have a better basketball team; you'll have a group of resilient young leaders who understand that true success is found in the persistence of the climb.

Will called in to Talk To Me about his journey through deep betrayal by his best friend – someone he never imagined would hurt him. How do you walk through this kind of betrayal, when you've been completely blindsided? Today, we talk through his story of pain and friendship betrayal, and the number one thing that helped him move into healing: forgiveness. Forgiveness is an important people skill, because it untethers you from the pain that others have caused you – so that you can be free to move forward and not stay stuck.

In one of the most vulnerable conversations of the year, I sat down with Pastor Shawn Johnson and processed the moment that literally almost took his life -- the moment he broke mentally and emotionally. After suffering from intense and continuous panic attacks behind the scenes for many years, one day he could take it no more. Thank God he chose vulnerability in that dark and desperate moment, and reached out for help, because it was vulnerability: letting people in on his darkest moments, that ultimately saved his life. We spend some time talking about the series of events leading up to this dark season in his life, what kept him from opening up before this moment, and how he's keeping track of his mental health and well being today. If you suffer from mental illness, panic attacks, depression or anxiety -- his journey will truly challenge and inspire you to continue moving toward healing, and to learn to let people in.

Burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a physiological response to prolonged stress. Unfortunately, it often appears in military spouse life more frequently than we realize. In this episode, we delve deeper into what burnout actually is, why military spouses are particularly vulnerable to it, and how it often disguises itself as “just being tired,” staying busy, or pushing through another season. We talk about the stress cycle, early warning signs of burnout, and why self-care doesn't work when we don't first understand what our bodies are asking for. You'll also hear practical, accessible ways to start interrupting burnout — not through expensive routines or doing more, but by creating margin, completing the stress cycle, setting better boundaries, and building supportive relationships that make military life more sustainable. If you've been functioning but feel disconnected, depleted, or like you're losing yourself in the process, this conversation will help you name what's happening and take the first steps toward feeling like yourself again.

This week on Beyond the Letter, Sammy hosts a conversation on teamwork—what it really takes to build healthy teams, healthy culture, and healthy leadership in everyday life. Joined by his wife Chandler and their friend Haron, they unpack why collaboration matters more than ever, how unity can exist without everyone thinking the same, and why “going far” requires learning to stay connected even through disagreements. From leadership circles to friendships and family rhythms, the thread is simple: you don't have to carry everything alone.They also go practical with holistic health—body, mind, relationships, and spirituality—sharing a framework Chandler uses in her counseling work (biopsychosocial + spiritual) and how healthy habits shape strong teams over time. The episode closes with a powerful culture takeaway: culture isn't just what we do—it's why we do it… and the language we repeat is what we end up defending. Plus, Andy jumps in with a Gen Z perspective on building “teams” even when you're introverted or your circle is small.--Connect with:Samuel Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Haron Kaisa https://www.instagram.com/kaisaclan/Chandler Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/chandlerbrod/--Check out Adam's website!https://www.adammesa.org/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?
