In this powerful interview with Dr. Adolphus Sims, Dr. Self and Dr. Sims discuss the need for reconciliation and how debates, pride, and the need to be right run counter to the fundamentals of Scripture.

This show covers relationships, marriage, forgiveness, and much more.  2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,   Help Dr. Self continue this show - partner at www.icmcollege.org/donate  Answer your call by enrolling with the International College of Ministry at www.icmcollege.org/enroll  Purchase Dr. Ray's latest book, "The Call."

Send us Fan MailA police officer who becomes a therapist sounds like a plot twist, but it's also a rare window into what first responder mental health really needs. We're joined by Dana DeLorenzo, a retired transit police officer and now licensed mental health counselor, and we get honest about how the work changes you. Not the dramatic moments the public sees, but the daily accumulation: the stress, the cynicism that creeps in, and the reflex to say “I'm fine” even when you're not.We talk about Dana's path through dispatch, university policing, and years in transit, and why dispatchers are often the most overlooked part of the public safety system. The calls are frantic, the information has to be translated instantly, and the lack of closure can stick for years. We also dig into why so many first responders reject recognition, feel uncomfortable with the word “hero,” and minimize service even when the job clearly asks for sacrifice.From there, we zoom out to the deeper drivers: ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), unresolved trauma, PTSD versus “post-traumatic stress” language, and why naming symptoms can be the first step toward healing. We explore the idea that people rarely break from the first hard call, but from the 27th one they never processed, plus how concepts like complex PTSD and EMDR's “little T” and “big T” framework can help make sense of it. To Reach Dana, go to her LinkedIn account at this address: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dana-delorenzo-84916a379?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_androidYou can email her at: mailto:ddelorenzo@firstrespondersix.comIf this conversation hits home, subscribe, share it with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find support sooner rather than later.Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice asks, “Are you taking the proven steps you need to get better? If not, why not?” Don't let fear, ignorance, or pride keep you from facing pain, pursuing healing, and taking God's steps toward lasting change. How does a young man prepare for marriage and leave behind childish things in a world that is hostile to biblical maturity? I'm in my mid-20s and have struggled with pornography. My three sisters and I all experienced sexual abuse from our older brother growing up. Two of my sisters forgave him, but my youngest sister hasn't. How can my siblings and I best help her? What's the best strategy to approach my 22-year-old stepdaughter who likes to eat out and expects us to pay for it? We have a massive tax bill due because of her college tuition. I'm starting to feel taken advantage of.

What if the ache within us is not something to push through alone, but an invitation toward healing? Stasi welcomes her son, counselor Sam Eldredge, for a tender conversation about loneliness, vulnerability, relationships, and the courage to face our stories honestly. Wherever we feel stuck or alone, Jesus is near—gently inviting us to open our hearts, receive the care we need, and follow him into freedom, restoration, and more life than we imagined possible.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Revelation 1:18 (NIV) – I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.Genesis 2:18 (NIV) – The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) – As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.…..SAM ELDREDGEWebsite: https://www.nobleworkshops.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nobleworkshopsSAM'S BIOSam Eldredge has spent his career in the space where psychology and faith meet. Trained in the modalities that form the backbone of Noble's work such as Internal Family Systems, experiential therapy, somatic practice, attachment theory, and EMDR-informed movement, he has spent over two decades watching what happens when people are given the right conditions to do the work they have been carrying.Noble Workshops grew out of that watching.Sam grew up immersed in the world of the heart. His formation was shaped deeply by the work of Wild at Heart, an organization that has spent decades helping people recover their inner lives and understand the story they are living. That foundation shaped his understanding of what people are actually hungering for: genuine movement, not just information. The freedom that comes when something long stuck finally begins to shift.Noble was Sam's response to a gap he kept seeing: people who had done meaningful work, who had language for their pain and faith in the possibility of change, and who still couldn't find a structure that allowed that change to actually take root. Weekly therapy sessions, however skilled the guide, have limits. Immersion changes what is possible.He founded Noble to offer something different. A week held with clinical rigor and genuine care, set apart from ordinary life, where the work can finally build on itself rather than reset on longer timelines.…..ADDITIONAL RESOURCESPainting: The Harrowing of HadesAndSons Podcast Archives: https://wildatheart.org/podcasts/and-sons…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode—Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:YouTube – https://wahe.art/4h8DelLSpotify Podcasts – https://wahe.art/496zdfnApple Podcasts – https://apple.co/42E0oZ1 Amazon Music & Audible – https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses how children are being exposed to pornography at younger ages, with some children encountering it as young as age 8. If a parent catches their child watching it, they need to be careful not to overreact and instead be a safe place for their kids. I'm concerned for my 8-year-old daughter's safety as she lives with my wife, who said she doesn't want to be a pastor's wife and asked me to leave. My daughter is now lashing out at her grandmother. How do I handle this? I got pregnant and married at 15. I still feel guilty about disciplining my son when he was 8 and I caught him masturbating. My son has forgiven me, but I can't forgive myself.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc reflects on how his 21-year-old son's ADHD made school a roller coaster, activating Marc's stress system. When it comes to parenting, more is caught than taught; we need to soothe before we solve, to model emotional maturity. Where does ayahuasca come from, and is it addictive? My 35-year-old daughter wants to be a mom and find a husband; she traveled to Peru and took ayahuasca, and her brother died from drugs. How can people move forward after losing someone to suicide? I mentored a young man in foster care who would have been 45 today, but he died by suicide in April. I'm undiagnosed but think I may have ADHD or autism. I tend to be very direct, which can get me into trouble, and I grew up with abusive, unfiltered parents. How do I get through my day?

What role should psychology play in pastoral ministry? How did Cornelius Van Til shape the biblical counseling movement? And what is the relationship between presuppositional apologetics and soul care? In this episode, Brandon McLean Smith sits down with Jared Poulton to discuss his new book, Van Til's Counseling Movement: A Critical Analysis of Jay Adams and Biblical Counseling. Jared traces the origins of the biblical counseling movement at Westminster Theological Seminary, explores Jay Adams' theological debt to Cornelius Van Til, examines the relationship between biblical counseling and Christian integrationism, and considers how Van Til's doctrines of covenant, the antithesis, and common grace continue to shape conversations about counseling in the church today. Whether you're interested in apologetics, pastoral ministry, or the history of Westminster, this conversation offers a fascinating look at one of the Seminary's most enduring contributions to the life of the church.

Dr. Natalie Atwell brings more than 20 years of experience in mental health, counseling, teaching, and ministry, with a deep commitment to finding biblical answers for some of life's most difficult mental and emotional struggles. She is a practice owner, clinical director, educator, and international ministry leader, who also serves on a local Human Trafficking Task Force. She's been involved with international ministry work, including suicide prevention efforts in the Philippines.   One of the things that makes her particularly interesting for us here on Canary Cry Radio, is how she incorporates the late Dr. Michael Heiser's Divine Council worldview into her broader understanding of biblical counseling, spiritual realities, and mental health.   There is a lot to unpack in this conversation of how Scripture speaks into psychology, theology, spiritual warfare, and healing!    LINK: https://mentalwarriorconsulting.com/   00:00 — Introduction 08:31 — Dr. Natalie Atwell & Supernatural Mental Health 17:09 — Christianity, Therapy & the Occult in Mental Health 23:34 — Identifying "Other Influences" in Counseling 28:34 — Michael Heiser, the Divine Council & Mental Health 31:45 — The Three Rebellions & Roots of Mental Illness 39:49 — Dissociative Identity Disorder, Trauma & Spiritual Darkness 48:12 — The Re-Enchantment of Society & the Supernatural Realm 54:16 — Strange Experiences, Pastors & Christian Counselors 58:29 — Medication, Demonization & the Lindsey Clancy Case 1:12:05 — Psychedelics, Altered States & Spiritual Danger 1:15:58 — Genesis 6, Sexual Trauma & Spiritual Corruption 1:18:16 — Hope, the Gospel & Overcoming Spiritual Darkness

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ explains primary and secondary boundaries from the Every Man's Battle Intensive, sharing how he set boundaries around which foods he allows in his home after changing his diet. What secondary “fences” or primary boundaries do you need to set? I'm separated after 34 years of marriage to a covert narcissistic husband, and my adult sons show narcissistic tendencies. Can you give me biblical advice on helping them while grieving the loss of my 22-year-old son to suicide? Any advice on how I can help my angry grandson? He'll be 17 and wants to live with his dad, but my daughter doesn't want him to.

In this episode, Brittany details her experience of engaging in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), how it started, and how she makes sense of self-injury and her faith in God.

In this episode of The Checkin with Dwyane Wade, Dwyane, Bob, and Dorell Wright turn the spotlight on co-host Chris Johnson for part one of his full story. Chris opens up about growing up in Waco, Texas with two supportive fathers, a mother who never said a negative word about his biological dad, and a grandfather named Shot Shot who ran a barbecue business and whistled from blocks away when the streetlights came on. He refused to change his last name at 10 because Magic Johnson was the coldest player he’d ever seen, and his mother used his child support checks to teach him banking and let him buy Jordans and Starter jackets. He talks about getting subbed out at the park as a kid, training alone on his imagination, a coach who slid plays to him on index cards during history class, and deciding at 13 that if the pros didn’t work out he was going to be one of the best coaches in the game. He also covers rupturing his Achilles, watching 9/11 unfold helpless in his mother’s bed, earning a master’s in counseling at 22 with a 4.2 GPA, and coaching a 16-0 national championship football team before getting his real shot in basketball.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill explains how being in a dissociative state can leave you feeling unsafe and vulnerable. While awareness can be painful, leaning into it can help us let go of old defenses that are no longer needed. My daughter is married to a controlling man who threatens her with divorce and doesn't want to be intimate with her. He only sees their baby for half an hour a day. As a parent, what's the best advice I can give her? My granddaughter got saved and asked me to baptize her; is it biblical for a woman to baptize? My husband was a pastor who fell from grace, and no one has seen him in 15 years. It's very hard for me to accept a compliment. When people say nice things about me, I say, “It's not true.” How can I learn to accept compliments? I'm legally separated, and so is my boyfriend. We've been dating for three years and plan to marry after our divorces are final. I'm worried that if I stop having sex until marriage, I may lose him. What should I do?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses the challenges of the sandwich generation—balancing parenting with caring for aging parents—and shares practical tips for managing emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual stress. Remember: self-care isn't selfish. I'm 61 and have two older sisters. The middle sister is very toxic. As a Christian, how much should I put myself out there when she is very hard to deal with? She insults me from head to toe. My 91-year-old mom has people trying to hack her computer. I had a major financial loss from being hacked myself. I'm really struggling in both the spiritual and physical realm; trust is hard. How should I move forward if I am doing most of the work to heal our marriage? Since the porn has been blocked, my husband is spending like crazy. And a woman at work is buying him gifts. He's a good man and we have a lot of things in common, but I'm not sure if I should stay.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris explains how judging others can divide us, create an unsafe environment, and keep us from honestly examining our own struggles. Every Man's Battle Intensive offers a safe, Christ-centered place where men can bring their hardest struggles into the light without fear of judgment. My schizophrenic grandson had a child with a bipolar, abusive woman. How can I help? How can I find the right psychiatrist and help my daughter while respecting HIPAA? She is 35 years old, lives in another state, has two sons, recently got a DUI, and may be struggling with mental health issues. I'm raising my granddaughters, 11 and 12, because my daughter is in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. The younger one doesn't seem to show remorse or empathy; how do I handle this? My husband passed away 10 years ago. I don't want to date or go out, and my family says I need counseling, so I isolated myself from them. How should I respond? The Bible says to mourn up to 30 days, but that’s not me.

Episode 3119: Alysha Jeney describes the internal argument that starts the moment she feels an emotion coming on, and the voice that tells her she is being ridiculous. She traces where that voice comes from and explains how years of avoiding her own feelings left her settling for relationships that never felt understood. Her way out starts with acceptance rather than logic. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.modernlovecounseling.com/emotions-irrational-or-logical/ Quotes to ponder: "Acceptance can actually become very empowering." "When we mask our feelings and natural responses as adults, we run the risk of never being understood by anyone or ever experiencing true intimacy."

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc explains that sometimes one partner in a married couple takes sex off the table because they're resentful and angry. But when sex is withheld, that feels like an abandonment. Sex is not for one person to suppress but for both to address. How do I deal with finding vulgar texts on my disabled girlfriend's phone from a pastor? I help her with daily tasks. At first, she didn't tell me the truth, but she now says the pastor forced her to have sex. My son just told me I couldn't come into his house and that his wife and his granddaughter are his priority. My adult kids caused a rift in my marriage, and I'm divorced now. They treat me like an outcast. I need to let them go. How can I process this family conflict? I lost my husband of 21 years last year to pancreatic cancer and have a hard time moving on. I don't like to go anywhere by myself, and I'm having a hard time having conversations with the opposite sex. How do I find a counselor? My wife says I don't have her back. She makes smart remarks back to people and their remarks get very explicit. Then she asks me why I don't say anything. How do I handle this?

This episode is a first and an experiment. For a long time I have wanted to interview visual artists, but since this is an audio only podcast, I was uncertain how best to enable you, my audience, to see the visual art my guests offered while the interview was in process. I am not sure if I have yet solved that issue, but this is a first attempt to do so. I will please need your feedback as to how every thing works. My guest is the Reverend Doctor Julia Goldie Day. More on her below. Julia has provided the following links and, hopefully, if you are on this site, while your are listening to the interview, you can click on the link at the appropriate time and see her paintings. Julia Goldie Day was born a painter. From an early age Julia felt called to be baptized, to serve as a pastor, and to be a mother. Following these callings while practicing her gifts haven't always been easy, leading to a sometimes-bumpy road, but they have been fruitful. Julia studied at the SC Governor's School for Visual Arts, graduated from Anderson University with a Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Drawing, studied Pastoral Care and Counseling at the School of Divinity at Gardner-Webb University, and received a Doctor of Ministry in Leadership at Memphis Theological Seminary. She was ordained into Christian ministry by Clearview Baptist Church in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and served churches in South Carolina and Tennessee.   You can see Julia's paintings, writing, and preaching at juliagoldieday.com and follow her on social media at @JuliaGoldieDay.

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares about the story of Joseph, which he often teaches at the end of the Every Man's Battle Intensive. Despite jealousy, lies, abuse, slavery, false accusations, imprisonment, and famine, Joseph could say, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good” (Genesis 50:20). I'm struggling with acceptance because shame comes over me. I'd like to move forward. How do you overcome that? I was always told I was a good kid and was a listener, but I never applied it to myself. After hearing my neighbors' dogs bark for 4 months straight, I called the police and animal control. I feel responsible that it led to an investigation to see if they were also neglecting their kids, and I feel targeted by other neighbors. My wife died 4 months ago and I met a widow in a grief group who recently lost her husband. What should my next step be? I know it's too early for me to start another relationship. I've lost all faith and trust in Christianity. I was an altar boy in the oldest church in America, but it was all in Latin. I'm very discouraged to hear that there are other religions that have very similar stories as Christianity.

Her father sexually abused her and her sisters.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alison Cook, psychologist, podcaster, and attachment-style expert, discusses her newest book The Secure Soul and how she wove experiences from childhood into adulthood. She asks the question: What does it mean to connect with yourself, especially the younger version of yourself? What is fueling feelings of insecurity? Where is God in times of trials? What is your definition of the word soul, and how do we know that we need to tend to our soul? I'm struggling at work and feeling lonely. I left work today just for the afternoon because it's a toxic environment. I overextend myself, and it makes me feel empty. Some people believe the past should be left in the past. Why is it important that we revisit experiences from our childhood and youth?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses scarcity vs. abundance and how feeling unloved in our relationships can make us believe we are unworthy or not valuable. Through gratitude, we can refocus our hearts on God's goodness and learn to relax into His love today. I'm in my sixth marriage and have been married for seven years. My 73-year-old husband rarely talks to me all day, calls my grandkids vulgar names, and walks away from me. We're seeing a marriage counselor. Do I stay or go? My husband won't remove his boots before he comes into the house because he says he's the leader of the house. I've been praying and fasting, but I'm at an impasse with my husband over Ephesians 5. There are other areas where he's controlling. I've been married for 25 years and have nine kids. When I come home, the first thing I do is ask my wife if there's anything I can do to help her. Even when we fall short, the Lord is there for us. I've heard your female callers today talking about how hard their marriages are. Is there anything else we can do to help these women? When is it okay for them to leave, even temporarily?

Caller Questions & Discussion: How can you reduce your “buts”? Marc explains why but can feel like a dismissal or subtraction in conversation, while and can feel like an addition. Learn how pausing before you say but can help you communicate in a way that makes others feel valued and heard. I really want to get healed from people-pleasing. My mom used to tell me not to make enemies. I have a friend who made a racist comment that I want to walk away from but don't know how. How do I get over it? My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was pregnant. The doctor took a cyst off and put 178 staples in her, and she carried our daughter full-term. This is why someone shouldn't have an abortion. How would I know if I need to find a different church? I have romantic feelings for my pastor, who is divorced. I find myself interacting with him every weekend and don't know how to avoid crossing boundaries. My ex-wife called the police because I spanked my son three years ago. What's my next step? I live in Canada. My ex-wife called the police again, and now I can't see my 11-year-old son and have to go to court.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses scrupulosity, a form of religious or moral OCD that can cause intense guilt, anxiety, and obsessive thoughts about faith and morality. People may obsess over questions like whether they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Therapy and medication can help manage religious OCD and anxiety. Our pastor's 27-year-old son used to be in church leadership, but he is now in prison for explicit child materials. A little girl in the church told her parents that he had abused her, but the pastor denied it. Should I report it? The church doesn't know he is in prison. I experienced sexual assault in seventh grade that I repressed for 40 years, and recently my church has hurt me through gaslighting. I'm working through the trauma and unhealthy coping habits, like watching TV to numb myself, while taking medication from a psychiatrist. I have schizoaffective disorder and live with my brother. He doesn't think I'm doing enough, and I agree. Is a lack of motivation common with this disorder? Whom should I believe when my wife and adult daughter from a previous marriage both accuse each other of gaslighting me?
