Send us a textJohn the Apostle was the youngest of Jesus' apostles and he had a unique relationship with the Lord Jesus. Both his gospel testimony and his letters to the churches convey a warm pastoral heart of loving care for the Lord's people. One thing I value in his writings is his stated purpose for writing. In his gospel he states, " Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;  but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." JZohn 20:30fin his letters of 1 John he states several times why his writing and to whom he is writing. "that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.  And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled. JZohn 1:3-4My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. 1 John. 2:1-2He addresses all the people under their spiritual maturations of young believers, adult father believers and young adult believers. To each group he gives a reason such as assurance or encouragement in spiritual warfare.a number  of other reasons are given but end his letter with this one. " And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.

Paul Begala is a CNN political commentator, consultant and NY Times best-selling author... his most recent book was the election-year hit You're Fired: The Perfect Guide to Beating Donald Trump. He's also been a columnist for Newsweek and The Daily Beast, and was one of the founding contributing editors of his late friend JFK Jr's magazine George. But perhaps most notably…he helped engineer Bill Clinton's winning presidential campaign in 1992 with his partner, James Carville. He later served as Counselor to the President, serving as one of President Clinton's closest aides, and coordinating policy, politics, and communications. In the 2012 campaign, Paul was a senior adviser for the pro-Obama Super PAC, making him one of the few people to play a critical role in electing two different presidents. Paul's back in The Back Room to unpack Election Day's blue tidal wave! Got somethin' to say?!

Counselor Siripi has advised men against rushing into marriage if they cannot independently afford it. He emphasized that a man who relies on his family to pool funds for his wedding is not financially prepared for the responsibilities that come with marriage.

Surrender Isn't Weakness, It's Freedom with Yeshaia Blakeney | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this thought-provoking and deeply human episode, Yeshaia Blakeney opens up about his journey through addiction, self-destruction, and spiritual awakening with striking honesty and wisdom. Growing up in the chaos of Hollywood, Yeshaia describes feeling emotionally adrift and spiritually disconnected long before drugs entered the picture. What began as an attempt to escape pain and emptiness eventually led him into the darkness of addiction, arrests, and broken relationships. He recounts sitting in a jail cell — the moment he realized, “This isn't who I am” — and how that breaking point became the foundation of his recovery. Through faith, humility, and an unrelenting search for truth, Yeshaia found that healing wasn't about willpower, but surrender. He now dedicates his life to helping others rediscover their own humanity, guiding people toward authenticity, connection, and spiritual growth through his work at Recovery Integrity. With disarming vulnerability, he challenges the misconception that sobriety alone is the goal, emphasizing instead that true recovery means finding meaning, love, and purpose beyond the pain. This episode is both a wake-up call and a source of hope — a raw conversation about redemption, faith, and the beautiful struggle of being fully human.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6

 Do you need the Holy Spirit? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally helps us understand that the Holy Spirit isn't optional in the Christian life—He's the source of it. Who Is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is God. The Hebrew word Ruach and the Greek word Pneuma both mean "wind" or "breath." The Holy Spirit is a person—He feels, speaks, and can be hurt by how we live. Ephesians 4:30 (NLT): "Do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live." 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (ESV): "Do not quench the Spirit." You determine how much of the Spirit you experience. The Holy Spirit isn't a power you use—He's a person you know. What Is the Holy Spirit Like? The Holy Spirit isn't weird—people are. Like the wind, He is: Invisible. John 14:17 (NIV). You may not see Him, but you can see His results. Unpredictable. John 3:8 (NIV). You can't control or schedule Him—you can only make room for Him. What Does the Holy Spirit Do? He provides power. Acts 1:8 (NLT): "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." He isn't an accessory; He's the power supply. He gives gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:4 (NLT): "...different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all." They're for showing love, not off. He cleanses us. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NLT): "...you were cleansed... by the Spirit of our God." Jesus forgives sin; the Spirit fixes character. He teaches us. John 14:26 (ESV): "...the Helper... will teach you all things..." He turns Scripture from words you read into words you live. He guides us. Romans 8:14 (NLT): "...all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." He's your guide and guardrail—follow Him, and you won't lose your way. He helps us. John 14:16–17 (NIV): "...he will give you another advocate to help you..." When you can't, He can. He convicts us. John 16:8 (NLT): "He will convict the world of its sin." Conviction draws you to God. "It's God's job to judge, the Spirit's to convict, and ours to love." —Billy Graham He fellowships with us. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT): "... the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." He wants relationship, not visitation rights. Closing At the source of the Nile, a hidden spring flows north, bringing life wherever it goes. When the Holy Spirit is your source, your life flows upward toward God. John 7:38–39 (NIV): "Rivers of living water will flow from within them... By this he meant the Spirit." Stay connected to the Source—and His life will flow through every part of yours. Is the Holy Spirit your source?

Power and pay should never silence honest supervision, yet that's exactly what happens when your supervisor is also your boss. We take you inside the messy overlap of employment and clinical supervision and lay out a simple blueprint to protect ethics, growth, and income without burning bridges.We start by drawing a bright line between two documents most people blur: the clinical supervision contract and the policies and procedures manual. One governs evaluation, documentation, and remediation; the other covers schedules, dress codes, write-ups, and progressive discipline. Then we tackle the landmines—mid-contract rate hikes, clawbacks passed to associates, and the myth that hours can be held hostage. You'll hear how to set stable payment terms, define “timely” access to supervision records, and create remediation plans that build competence instead of fear.We also unpack the W-2 vs 1099 decision with a clear control lens: if you set schedules, restrict methods, and review records, you likely have an employee, not a contractor. That choice impacts taxes, benefits, records custody, subpoenas, and HIPAA responsibilities. To make dual roles workable, we share practical systems: split meetings into admin then clinical, start the supervision clock only when clinical begins, label agendas by role, and document goals and feedback every session. The mindset shift matters most—coach toward a future colleague rather than punish from a hierarchy.Whether you're a small-town agency owner wearing two hats or an associate vetting your first role, you'll leave with concrete steps to protect your license path and your paycheck: what to ask for in contracts, how to assess classification, where to set boundaries, and when to walk away. If the goal is a thriving practice and a strong professional reputation, clarity beats charisma every time.If this was helpful, follow the show, share it with a colleague who needs cleaner supervision systems, and leave a quick review so more therapists can find it.

What is the nature of sin and desire? At a theological level?We're diving in with Joel Carini (from The Natural Theologian) for a theological conversation about desire, sin, attraction, and the resources that the reformed theological tradition has (or doesn't have) for same-sex-attracted, celibate Christians. Also includes: comparisons to psychology vs. biblical counseling, and how Harry Potter had comparable challenges.—Note: We use the terms “Side A” and “Side B” as shorthand quite a bit. If you're new to the conversation, here's a quick explanation. We also recommend listening to our episode #3, “A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality.”* “Side A” generally refers to the perspective that affirms God can bless same-sex marriage and sexual relationships.Sides B, X, and Y all represent perspectives that uphold the historic Christian sexual ethic of marriage between a man and a woman, and sex within marriage. Specific perspectives differ beyond that:* “Side B” recognizes people experience same-sex sexual attraction and may describe that experience by a variety of words or identity terms while still holding to the historical Christian sexual ethic.* ”Side X” tends to emphasize the possibility of sexual orientation change, and ministers to gay people toward the aim of being “ex gay.”* “Side Y” tends to avoid naming any kind of identity language associated with LGBT concerns, with the goal of not taking on an identity of being “gay.”★ About Our GuestJoel Carini is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at Saint Louis University. He holds an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary and an MA from the University of Chicago. He publishes regularly at his Substack and YouTube at The Natural Theologian.Joel's previous episode on New Kinship is: #29 - Weigh and Consider the World: Joel Carini on Nature, Truth, and Side B—★ Timestamps(00:00) #71 – Can Desire Be Redeemed?

Dr. Debra Kissen helps us understand exactly what anxiety is and how we can learn to overcome those anxious moments in life. She talks about using personalized techniques to reduce the anxiety we feel in a given moment.One of the things Dr. Kissen said that stuck with me is "you don't have to believe your anxiety."
