“I am a survivor of child abuse,” writes Samantha Rose Jones. “The abuse impacted every aspect of my humanity — physically, emotionally, socially, mentally, and spiritually. All the instances were in a severe category, and the evil I faced was unfathomable. My starting point is bleak, but my current story is miraculous. I am a miracle because I am a child of the living Miracle Worker — God.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Jones about her journey from the pain of abuse to the miracle of love and joy.

Do you feel uneasy about handing your kid an internet-enabled device? Or feel like you know very little about what they're doing online? It can be really tough to broach conversations about this stuff without instantly putting our kids on the defense. We're joined by Soren Poulsen, co-founder of Raising Digital Citizens and father of two, who, alongside his wife, created the Essential Conversation Cards for Life Online. After puzzling over how to prepare their own daughter for her first phone, they developed a new approach to help families talk about digital safety, consent, bullying, and online privacy in a casual manner. Whether your kid is begging for their first device or you're already deep in the world of screen-time debates, Soren's insights promise to make your family conversations more productive. After the interview, Adam shares an exciting installment of So That's a Thing Now.Episode 122 of Modern Dadhood opens with a discussion between Marc & Adam about the topic of digital citizenship. The guys discus how this can be a sensitive topic to broach with young people. The guys introduce Soren Poulsen into the conversation. Soren and his wife, author Jessica Joelle Alexander, co-founded Raising Digital Citizens, an organization aims to empower families to cultivate meaningful, trust-based relationships that support children's safe and responsible engagement with the digital world. Rather than relying on fear or restrictive controls, the organization emphasizes open conversations grounded in shared values and mutual respect. Conversation topics include:•  The Essential Conversation Cards for Life Online•  What exactly "hygge" means•  The importance of parent-child communication•  Adapting conversations to different age groups and different needs•  How approaching these conversations early can have positive long-term effects•  And more!Stay to the end of the episode to learn about a new phase of life for the Flaherty family in a new installment of So That's a Thing Now.LINKSRaising Digital CitizensBuy the Conversation Cards on Amazon!Raising Digital Citizens (LinkedIn)Raising Digital Citizens (Instagram)Caspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

April is Autism Acceptance Month. According to the website, Autism Speaks, autism or autism spectrum disorder refers to “a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children and 1 in 45 adults in the United States today.” How should Christian churches minister to people with autism? Just as importantly, how should they facilitate ministry by people with autism? Those are the questions I ask Ron Sandison in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Ron Sandison is a speaker and teacher specializing in autism issues, a credentialed Assemblies of God minister, and author of several books on autism, including A Parent's Guide to Autism, Views from the Spectrum, and most recently, Adulting on the Spectrum, published by Kregel Publications. He is also author of the article, “Ministry on the Spectrum,” in the Spring 2025 issue of Influence. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of the Ignite Parenting Conversation Cards.

“The best days of the church are ahead,” write Kara Powell, Jake Mulder, and Raymond Chang. “Don't get us wrong. We are under no illusion that churches have it easy in this season. These days the church can feel … So fractured, So distracted. So divided and politicized. So exhausting. So hard to lead. Like everything is an uphill battle.” So why are these authors confident about the future of the church? That's the question I ask Kara Powell in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Kara Powell is chief of leadership formation and executive director of the Fuller Youth Institute at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and a credentialed Assemblies of God minister.

In this episode, my wife and I sit down with the person who helped us change everything. This is the coach who guided us through some of the most challenging conversations of our lives, who showed us how to truly understand our emotions, question what we thought we knew, and look at love in a way that completely redefined it for us. We'll share how we went from struggling with expectations and conditions to understanding that love, real love, just is. It doesn't demand anything from us—it's free from the weight of “shoulds” and doesn't hold us to impossible standards. With patience and insight, our coach taught us the power of slowing down and connecting to ourselves through meditation, giving us tools we never realized we needed. Their wisdom set us on the path to be here with you today, sharing our journey in the hopes it helps someone else. If you're going through a tough time in your relationship or feel like things are out of sync, this episode is for you.

We are keeping it real today! You've likely heard us say that we are committed to quality time as a couple. Even when our kids were small, once a month we would scrape together whatever money we had left in our budget to pay a sitter to make sure we got quality time together.Date night has always been a big deal for us, but lately these last months we've fallen out of our routine. It's felt like a struggle to find time alone together where we can have conversation and fun! We are definitely feeling the effects of not being able to get quality time together.To help us get back into our routine, we want to invite you along as we take a deep dive into conversation cards and how they can help you build intentional connection time with your spouse.Rob and I share:How intentional time can benefit you as a couplePractical ways to use conversation cardsA real life conversation prompted by conversation cardsAnd more!We hope you enjoy this episode!Show Notes: https://growinghometogether.com/conversation-cards-78/

We all have that one thing that's so hard to hand over to God entirely. We know His will and way are best, but our flesh fights against it. Sometimes surrender is a process. God's will and way is the best thing for us; He writes the best stories when we lay down our desires at his feet. But what does that look like? We're talking about that and more in episode two of the Lay it Down series. If you or someone you know is struggling to let go and let God, this episode is for YOU! As always, we've invited a friend to join the conversation! In this episode, we talk with a young adult, Nicole Rupp. She's currently living a dream of hers on staff for Young Life staff here in Tampa, FL, an outreach ministry for teens. She's a Florida native but loves to unplug in the mountains. When she's not hanging out with middle schoolers, you can find her sipping a vanilla latte, playing pickleball, or spending time with the people she loves. She talks with Delaney and Mandie about what it has looked like for her to lay down her whole heart and trust God with the big stuff, including her singleness. Pull up a seat and join us at this table of brave conversation!  Find tools and resources for having your own conversations with the girls in your life here Leader Guide and Conversation Cards.

We all have things in our life that we know need to go, things that weigh us down and hold us back from receiving and living out God's best. Yet even when we know something isn't good for us, we can still struggle to release it. How do we experience God's strength in our weakness? In this series, we're talking with women of different ages and life stages about what it looks like to let go and let God. We'll be sharing personal experiences, as well as discussing Scripture that points us to hope and truth. First up, we talk with Tracy Fruehauf. She's the wife of a military man and mother to three teen/tween boys and a spunky little girl. Perfectly imperfect, she loves much because Jesus loves (and forgives) her so much. Tracy has an infrequent blog where she tells of God's faithfulness to her family at OneFrueOverTheCuckoosNest.com.Pull up a seat and join us at this table of brave conversation!

Jen Malia is an author, professor, autism advocate, wife and mom who received her autism diagnosis on the same day as her daughter. She writes about this experience in her New York Times article. Jen shares openly how challenging it was for her to get diagnosed and unfortunately, so many other autistic women will probably relate to her story. Jen had done lots of research, seen various professionals who dismissed her requests for an assessment, however her persistence paid off when she met with a caring, knowledgeable clinical psychologist who properly assessed and diagnosed her. Jen shares openly and honestly about how her husband responded to her and her children's diagnoses and how they have worked together to create balance and happiness as a neurodiverse family. Her and her husband give each other a lot more space and grace, and have learned how to focus on their own strengths and self-care needs. In addition, they have created access to resources and opportunities for each of their autistic children. Jen also shares how she suffers from migraines and prior to her diagnosis she ended up hospitalized with a potentially life threatening medical issue. After her diagnosis she realized that "autistic burnout" may have been a contributing factor to the hospitalization, which required a month of recovery. If you would like to follow Jen her handle on Twitter and Instagram is Jenmaliabooks. You can also connect with her on LinkedIn or check out her website at: www.jenmalia.com. Her children's book "Too Sticky: Sensory Issues with Autism" is available wherever books are sold:-) Note from Mona: No one should have to go through life fighting to be heard, understood and accepted, however this challenge is one that so many undiagnosed autistic adults (and especially women and non-binary people) experience. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Neurodiverse Love Conversation Cards are available for purchase.

During this episode, Mona talks with Life Coach-Robin Tate. Robin shares how important it is for her to continuously compliment the successes and strengths of the neurodiverse couples she works with and to remind both partners how their brains are "equal and different". She also discusses communication differences and the importance of addressing "perspective taking" during arguments and for both partners to remember their "on the same team". Robin also shares how literal language and weak central coherence can sometimes cause unintentional misunderstandings and flooding that can lead to shutdowns or meltdowns (flight or fright response). We also address how physical, emotional and verbal abuse can become a reality in some relationships because of continued flooding, misunderstanding and unresolved conflict. We also discuss how codependency and addictions can look in neurodiverse relationships and how each can impact both partners. We address some very emotional, but important issues throughout this episode. I hope this discussion can give couples an opportunity to address the importance of understanding themselves individually and in relationship to their partner, so they can both work to reduce misunderstanding and conflict and increase understanding and appreciation of each other's differences. Some of the issues we discuss in this episode may be triggers for some of our listeners, so we want to make sure that those of you who do not feel safe in your relationship know that you can contact the national domestic violence hotline at: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). In addition, if you need help getting treatment for an addiction please call SAMHSA's National Helpline at: 1-800-662- HELP (4357). In addition, there are several white papers on neurodiverse relationships that may be of interest to some of our listeners.

This is another fantastic episode for both partners in a Neurodiverse Love relationship to listen to. After 40 years of research, John and Julie Gottman have helped thousands of couples better understand each other and implement tools and strategies that can help them move from surviving to thriving. During this episode, we talk with Dr. Michael McNulty, a certified Gottman Therapist and Master Trainer of the Gottman Method, to understand how some of these research-based strategies and tools can help you and your partner better understand each other and thrive! Many of you may have heard of "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness and Stonewalling" and how each can have a negative impact on any relationship. During this episode, Dr. McNulty, guides us through the "anecdotes" for each of the "Horseman". In addition, you will learn more about ways to create "soft start-ups" instead of criticizing your partner. How important it is to "take responsibility" for the things that you have said or done, rather then reacting and being defensive. We also discuss the value of talking about yourself, your needs and feelings, rather then speaking badly about your partner and treating them with contempt. In addition, you will learn how important it is to "take breaks" when one of you is feeling overwhelmed and flooded. This can help prevent "stonewalling" and what others may call "shutdowns" or "burnout". We also talk about important ways to forecast or plan "re-entry back into the home" after a day of work. Using this Gottman strategy can help reduce or prevent meltdowns and shutdowns. In addition, we talk about the importance of a weekly "State of the Union" meeting with your partner, to discuss what has gone well, what needs improvement and ways in which to address things differently. This tool can help couples better understand each others needs and differences. Dr. McNulty also briefly introduces the concepts the Gottman's developed called the "Sound Relationship House" and "Love Maps" and why they are important for every couple to understand.

During this episode Matthew shares a little bit about his career in writing and the work he is doing in film and tv. In addition, he talks about the path he took to get an autism diagnosis in his 40's. He shares how his literal communication style has been both a strength and a challenge in his relationships and why his doctor once called him an "extrapolation engine". Matthew is divorced, has 3 children and shares a little about how he managed some of the aspects of family life and the experiences he has had with some of his other romantic relationships. Matthew also shares how he was diagnosed as hyperactive in elementary school and received many other diagnoses along the way, however autism had not even been a passing thought, until a friend (and her mother) suggested that he might be autistic. Mathewt began to read more about autism and then went to see several therapists who both told him that that they thought he was autistic. Matthew shares openly how his autism journey unfolded, as well as the advice he would give to others who may be on their own neurodiverse path.

Moshe and Tobi didn't know that Tobi was autistic when they first met and they couldn't make sense of some of the challenges they were experiencing in their marriage. While still newlyweds, Tobi has been officially diagnosed and they are now expecting their first baby this month. During this episode, this loving couple talk about how Tobi's diagnosis has changed everything for the better. Their communication has improved exponentially, they focus on each other strengths and are always trying to find ways to better understand themselves and each other. In addition, they have learned that Tobi's sensory sensitivities have been very heightened during pregnancy. Conversations with her OB/GYN about her needs during pregnancy and childbirth have not been well received. We talked about how this is an area that requires further education and advocacy, so that physicians understand (and believe) the needs of their autistic patients. Moshe also shares how understanding more about their neurology helped him understand then when Tobi didn't want to process her day it wasn't because she "didn't care", she just didn't have anything to share, so she didn't ask about his day. On the other hand, Tobi didn't understand that spending hours on the couch in "parallel play" was not enough for Moshe and he needed some type of interaction together (ie: playing a game) to feel that his needs were being met. Tobi also talks about how emotional and sensory overload can lead to a non-verbal shutdown and now that Moshe understands what is happening and why, he can make sure that Tobi's needs are met until she is able to verbally communicate with him again. Together, Moshe and Tobi are addressing the best way to make decisions that impact them as a couple, how to divide up the household chores that can create sensory overload for Tobi, and the best way to create a work/life balance as they prepare for their newborn to join their lives. It is always wonderful to hear how neurodiverse couples are able to increase grace, compassion and understanding to create hope, joy and a life filled with love and patience. No relationship is ever going to be perfect, but "when we know better, we can both do better":-) NOTE: The phone app that Tobi uses when she is non-verbal is called "Tell me" and is available for Android users. The "text to speech" app may also be another option for I-phone users. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Neurodiverse Love Conversation Cards are available for purchase.

This is another fantastic episode for both partners in a Neurodiverse Love relationship to listen to together. Dr. K. is a Board Certified Gottman Therapist and talks about the importance of knowing that Dr. John Gottman's research has shown that 69% of our challenges in romantic relationships are due to things that won't change. However, understanding ourselves and our partners better can help us learn which problems are "perpetual" and which are "solvable". She shares how important it is for both partners to know when they have reached their limits socially, emotionally or in other areas of life. Dr. K. also provides valuable strategies for managing triggers that may lead to meltdowns or burnout. She also talks about the strengths of neurodiverse relationships and how both partners will need to adapt and change and have better social and communication skills. Dr. K. also talks about how factual, clear communication can be helpful for both partners to learn and grow and how important it is for partners to respond positively to attempts to "turn toward" each other when one wants more time together. You will also learn about how all relationships have "poop in the pipes" and there are proactive, healthy ways of dealing with that. Since Dr. Gottman's research has shown that 69% of the things that bother us and cause challenges in our romantic relationships will never go away, how can you and your partner learn to value each other's strengths, accept and understand each other's differences and move beyond the immovable issues to make for a healthier relationship. Dr. K. provides some great tools for helping couples do exactly that!

During this fantastic episode, Mona has an opportunity to talk to two amazing researchers who are in the UK doing groundbreaking work to better understand autistic adults intimate lives. Monique Huysamen and Marianthi Kourti share some of the findings from their phenomenal qualitative research study that is focused on learning what autistic adults want and need in their intimate lives. This study included an analysis of a multitude of government documents on autism, interviews with 20 autistic individuals and on-line focus groups with 50 autistics individuals. Learn more about what the autistic adults shared: what they like, what they want to be different and what some of their challenges have been. Many of the adults shared how they didn't know how to do relationships or intimacy because they had no guidance. Unfortunately, as autistic children become adults they may feel more isolated and begin to lose some of the supports they had through school and government agencies. Some of the participants talked about both the challenges and joy of sensory differences and understanding both. Others addressed how they might be more comfortable exploring in different ways in their intimate lives. In addition, others shared the importance of finding a community where they could feel safe and comfortable. For some, this might be in the BDSM or Kink community, where the communication patterns were more direct and the boundaries clearly stated. In the future, Monique and Marianthi will be creating toolkits for the autistic partners and non-autistic/neurotypical partners to help more autistic adults and their partners live their best intimate lives. Note: we apologize for the technical challenges we had during this episode. We were also disconnected from one of the guests at about 1/3 of the way through the episode, but were able to reconnect with them.

If you haven't read "The Autism Relationship Handbook and The Autism Relationship Workbook by Joe Biel and Dr. Faith Harper" you will definitely want to order copies of both after this episode. Joe is the founder of Microcosm Publishing in Oregon and Faith is a therapist is Texas. Working together for a number of years, they have partnered on several books and even have the same birthday. Joe shares his lived experience and expertise as a coach, mentor and business owner in a healthy Neurodiverse Love relationship and Faith shares her lived experience as a parent of a neurodiverse child and her expertise as a therapist and sexologist. During this episode, we talk about the importance of presuming "best intent" in your neurodiverse relationship and how critical it is to name and get granular about your boundaries and needs. We also talk about the 4 levels of communication and how each couple is usually getting stuck in one (or more) levels. Getting clarity about this and shifting perspective can reduce the "communication roundabout" some couples find themselves in. We also talk about physical intimacy, dealing with sensory differences and how to move from masking, struggling and being misunderstood to striving and thriving with a partner who truly appreciates and values you. Whether you are the autistic or allistic (non-autistic) partner in the relationship, this is a "don't miss episode. Joe and Faith provide SO many nuggets of gold that you may want to listen to this episode twice! WARNING: This episode is labeled "explicit" because at the end of the episode we talk about sexual intimacy and some books that have titles that may be considered explicit to some.

This is another fantastic episode that neurodiverse couples may want to listen to together! Stephanie and Dan Holmes have known each other since they were 10 and have been married almost 30 years. After their daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's in the mid-2000's, Stephanie read about adults on the spectrum and realized that her husband was autistic too (he already suspected he was). Prior to learning about their neurodiversity, Stephanie thought a lot of their miscommunication and struggles occurred because Dan is very intelligent. However, once they learned he was autistic, so many challenging things started to make more sense. Through the years, Stephanie and Dan have learned that they don't have to stay in gender roles to have a healthy relationship and instead have focused on using their individual strengths and complimentary skills to help their family thrive. Dan says he is more like a crockpot and Stephanie is more like a microwave and because they understand each other's differences, they are able to give each other grace and kindness as they navigate life together. During our conversation, Stephanie described a neurodiverse relationship like a game of "Chutes and Ladders", rather then chess or checkers and that made so much sense! Although there may be lots of unexpected ups and downs, when you both understand they will occur, the end result can be very positive. Stephanie is a therapist and Dan is a life coach and together they work with neurodiverse couples that can benefit from both of their perspectives. To add credibility to his work with neurodiverse couples, Dan got an official diagnosis and sees that as tool to help other autistic partners who want to improve their love relationships. Stephanie talked about the importance of trust in a neurodiverse relationship and how trust can be broken when partners don't understand each other. In her work as a therapist she has learned that the process of rebuilding trust has to involve learning new skills to avoid creating more trauma. Repetitive positive behavior is critical, otherwise the past is not the past, it is still the present! Dan talks about how important it is to see the the action behind the desire. He no longer believes people when they use the words “I want to” unless he see's the action follow the words. Dan and Stephanie founded the International Association of NeuroDiverse Christian Marriages, LLC to bring hope, help and possible healing to neurodiverse Christian marriages and they use the a three phase process to help 1) Educate, 2) Equip and 3) Provide Effective Strategies to neurodiverse couples who are looking for support and resources on their neurodiverse journey.

During this episode Mona and Manecia talk about a topic that may be difficult for both the autistic and non-autistic partners to hear, but is important to address, because it is something that has happened in both of their relationships (and may be happening in yours). No one wants to feel like they have to parent their partner, however acknowledging that this may be happening and talking about ways in which the non-autistic/neurotypical partner can ask before stepping in to help (or parent) can be SO helpful. Some people might call this type of "support" co-dependency or enmeshment, however in a neurodiverse relationship, when support is valued and provided because of challenges with executive function, social and emotional differences or sensory sensitivities, it can also create a partnership that helps both partners thrive. Mona shares that when her and her ex were talking outside the courthouse as they were planning to file for divorce, her ex said to her that she had two children, even though they only had one child. Mona's response was that she hadn't wanted to be her ex-husband's parent, she had wanted to be his partner! This conversation was both sad and enlightening at the same time. Mona and Manecia talk openly about how important it is to let go of assumptions and the need to "help" when we haven't been asked and how sometimes our embarrassment, does not mean we need to solve a problem that is not ours to solve. How can we stop parenting our partners, when we think they are awkward, anxious or angry and instead offer to help without "needing" to help? Mona and Manecia share the lessons they have learned on their neurodiverse journey's and hope this episode brings some "aha" moments for the listeners.

During this short bonus episode of the podcast, Mona shares “WHY” she created the Neurodiverse Love Conversation Cards,  “HOW” they can be used so that each partner can feel safe to share their needs and wants, and “WHAT” can be achieved when both partners come from a place of grace and compassion. Mona's parents were in a Neurodiverse Love marriage for over 40 years and never knew.  In addition, she didn't know she was in a neurodiverse relationship until the 29th year of her 30 year marriage.  By creating and releasing the cards, Mona hopes more neurodiverse couples will feel valued, heard and appreciated and gain understanding of each others strengths and differences.  When we know better, we CAN  do better! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you would like to purchase a deck of the Neurodiverse Love Conversation Cards please check out the "Conversation Cards” page on our website at: www.neurodiverselove.com If you like this podcast, please follow us or subscribe, so you don't miss an episode.  Please also take a minute to rate the podcast.  For more information on Neurodiverse Love relationships, please check our our website at: www.neurodiverselove.com or follow us on Instagram @neurodiverse_love If you would like to join one of our free online Neurodiverse Love peer support groups, please DM Mona on IG, or send an email to: neurodiverselove4u@gmail.com  Also, if you would like to share your Neurodiverse Love story, or you work with neurodiverse couples and would like to be a guest on the podcast, please send us a DM or an e-mail.  Thanks for being part of the Neurodiverse Love community! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/neurodiverse-love/message

Welcome to the '5th Thing' with Amy & Kat!! Today's quote is from Mark Twain: “Most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72.” This led to a conversation about spontaneously being a kid & being told to “act your age” (Kat shared a post that she put up about this and it hit the spot!) Amy then read a nice email from a listener named Blakely that had a request for when Amy interviews Shauna Niequist (Amy shared that she will be granting this listener her wish!!). Other things that came up this episode: $17 egg rolls, a super crazy birthday cake (that Amy doesn't want to make, but she might have to if she wants to make her daughter happy for her bday), the time Amy's sister made her act like a cat (and eat cat food), Amy's sister's HGTV show premieres Sunday, April 10th, & some fun ‘Concrete Conversation' card questions!!
