Today we're joined by Dan Drake, President and CEO of Trinity Health Continuing Care, to talk about an innovative and compassionate model of senior care—Trinity Health PACE. PACE, which stands for Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, helps older adults remain in their homes while receiving high-quality, nursing-home-level care. With a strong presence in the Delaware Valley under the names Mercy LIFE and Trinity Health PACE, this program delivers medical, social, and transportation support for seniors and their caregivers.Learn more at TrinityHealthPace.org.

Dan Drake, President and CEO of Trinity Health PACE, discussed how a PACE comprehensive community-based approach can allow older adults continue to live at home as long as possible. Trinity Health PACE, a member of Trinity Health, provides comprehensive medical, health, recreational, and social services to qualified elderly individuals, allowing them to remain at home while receiving essential care. Dan describes PACE, Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, as inside-out nursing home care, it delivers nursing home-level medical services in PACE participants’ homes or at a PACE center with proven results in reducing admissions to hospital settings. To enroll, an individual must qualify for nursing home care with low income; he notes that most qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, with little or no co-pays. Once enrolled PACE operates as both insurer and care provider. For the protection of the care providers and the resident they perform an in-home review, making sure the home is livable and safe; they will even help with decluttering of a residence. Once in PACE care they have access to social and recreational opportunities, occupational and physical therapist, dieticians, transportation to medical appointments, as well as a dedicated team for primary care and registered nurse home care.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"Our guests this week understand the tough path to be navigated by couples recovering from sexual betrayal. Joanna and Matthew Raabsmith walked through this themselves when, three years into marriage, Matthew confessed his sexual addiction while Joanna was in training to become a therapist.Out of their own healing experience they have created a counseling practice called The Raabsmith Team, located in Memphis TN. Joanna (as a therapist) and Matthew (as a certified coach) and their team work with couples and individuals with a strong emphasis on helping people heal from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.We talked about how tricky it can be for a healing couple to walk through the minefield of sexual reconnection, and discovering - often for the first time - a healthy, connected sexual relationship.

Throughout their 17 year union, the presence of pornography cast a shadow over Sandra and her husband's relationship, steadily eroding its foundation. Initially, Sandra dismissed it, swayed by the notion that incorporating porn could add a spark to their connection. However, as time unfolded, she witnessed alarming shifts in her husband's behavior—his inability to heed her pleas for gentleness, defensiveness clouding his responses, emotions spiraling into dramatic extremes, an inability to distinguish between sex and love, and an insistence on using orgasms as a mood-management tool. Caught in a web of lies and betrayal, Sandra recognized the compulsive and addictive nature of her husband's porn consumption. In this powerful podcast episode, Sandra shares her story of resilience and transformation, recounting how therapy and the Wanting It More model became the catalysts for rebuilding intimacy in their relationship. She delves into their journey of porn recovery, shedding light on the steps they took to recreate their sex life. Sandra explores the intricacies of navigating boundaries, revealing the specific measures she implemented to safeguard her well-being within the relationship. She also shares what their sex life looks like now and how her husband feels about intimacy since recovering from porn addiction.

-What does codependency look like in the betrayed partners of sex addicts? -How can the safety seeking behaviors of betrayed partners appear ‘codependent' but really be forms of healthy healing? -If you are a betrayed partner, what are the initial steps you can take to heal? Welcome to Episode 151! This week, I am joined by Dan Drake, LMFT, LPCC, CCPS-S, CSAT-S, to talk all about codependency in the betrayed partners of sex addicts. Dan is here to set the record straight on how, despite some behaviors of betrayed partners may appear codependent, they are often necessary, healthy, and healing ways of coping. Dan educates us on the history of treating the betrayed partners of sex addicts and how they were seen as ‘sicker than their partners.' We discuss what treatment of betrayed partners looks like today and end with suggestions on how you can heal if you have been betrayed. It's a must-listen!

He has co-authored several books, including Full Disclosure: How to Share the Truth after Sexual Betrayal and Letters from a Sex Addict: My Life Exposed. Dan is the is the Founder and Clinical Director of Banyan Therapy Group in Los Angeles.

Dan reveals his reluctance to use the definition due to the controversy and misdiagnosis of the term in the treatment of the betrayed partners of sex addicts.  Dan reflects on codependency in his own life, including how he often deferred to others when it came to deciding everyday things like what to eat for dinner. He also shares how that pattern continues on sidewalks where he defers to others in his path which way he should move to avoid colliding. Can you relate? Dan provides a brief history on the treatment of betrayed partners of sex addicts. Since it is a “process” rather than “chemical” addiction, it is different than treating substances. However, initially, the wives of male sex addicts were seen as the enabling, “sicker,” and neurotic codependent partner. Thankfully, in the early 2000s, this perspective was radically changed as many betrayed partners are not even aware of their partners' addiction due to the inherent manipulation, secrecy, and ease with hiding the addiction.  Dan and I explore how and why the safety seeking behaviors of betrayed partners may look codependent–but they aren't! We grapple with behaviors like making excuses, secret-keeping, ‘snoopervising,' and staying in the relationship. We agree that, since sex addiction is a process addiction, the behavior of the betrayed is more nuanced, and thus, more difficult to label objectively as ‘codependent.'  Dan discusses ways a partner can discern whether they are being abused/gaslit as they work towards healing. We conclude by healing how Dan helps couples navigate the healing process from sex addiction and how he helps the betrayed partner focus on the integration of their whole self.  Thanks for coming on Dan!

Older adults often turn to institutional settings like nursing homes when they need more help than they can get at home.  However, since the 1970s, there has been a program that allows older adults to receive nursing home-level care outside of nursing homes.  That model of care is known as the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE.  On today's podcast, we discuss PACE with two leaders in the PACE community, Dan Drake and Jay Luxenberg. Dan is the President and CEO of Trinity Health PACE, the second largest provider of PACE in the country, and Jay is the Chief Medical Officer of On Lok, the very first PACE demonstration site in the nation. We talk with Dan and Jay about all things PACE, including: What is PACE and what is included in it that makes it able to care for nursing home level care in peoples homes? How is PACE paid for, what does it need to cover, and who is eligible? How did PACE start and what's the evidence that it works? What are the challenges to PACE implementation and what do they think the future has in store for PACE? Why should you work at a PACE program?

At what point does love for one's country supersede one's devotion to God? Where is the line between nationalism and idolatry? Can America be seen as its own religion? And how can we work together to make our communities better, more inclusive, and safer places to live? To address these questions as more, the guys sit down with Pastor and Author, Brian Zahnd.

Do we honestly think that Racism is a thing of the past? Or that Racism doesn't exist inside our churches? To discuss this important conversation, the guys sit down with Dr. Grace Ji-Sun Kim.

If Jesus fulfilled the law and the Old Testament, do Christians need to read it? Does the Old Testament have anything to say about salvation? Do we have to live by the laws? Should Christians "un-hitch" from it? How do we interpret something so old? To discuss these questions and more, the guys sit down with professor and pastor, Joe Mueller.

What does it mean to forgive someone? What does that practically look like? How do you know if you've truly forgiven them and what does it mean if negative feelings come back years later? Can you forgive someone without ever seeing them again? Is there such a thing as not being ready to forgive? And if so, how does that square with scripture? To discuss these questions and more, the guys sit down with author, speaker, and forgiveness expert, Emily J Hooks.

Does the church do a good enough job addressing mental health and trauma? Can mental health conditions, or traumatic experiences be simply "prayed away" without seeking help from mental health professionals? Are they indicative of a lack of faith? Are there mental health practices everyone can benefit from? What is trauma and is it possible that traumatic experiences are more common than we think? Is it possible for the church to cause trauma and if so, how should we address that? To discuss these questions and more, the guys sit down with licensed therapist, author, and speaker, Aundi Kolber.

Does the church do a good enough job with sex education, or are students feeling more shamed than informed? Is the Bible as black and white in regards to sexual sin as we think it is? Or are we missing something in the translation of the original language? How do we help people have a healthy understanding of sex? To discuss these questions and more, the guys (and gals!) sit down with author and speaker, Dani Fankhauser.

It seems like we spend the first part of our lives learning to give all the correct answers. But what if the creative journey was less about giving the right answers and more about asking better questions? Today's guest helps us navigate this tension between questions and answers, and also encourages us to explore our curiosity. Dan Drake is the co-host of the Better Questions Podcast, a show that aims to help people of faith find better questions that are more helpful to our faith and that bring unity to the church. Dan is also a worship pastor and the Media Minister at Cornerstone Christian Church in Shiloh, Illinois. In addition, Dan is a gifted musician and songwriter, a filmmaker, a blogger, and most importantly, a husband and father. He's a busy guy! Dan's thoughts on art, faith, and life will challenge your thinking, help you find the divine in the mundane, and to ask better questions that lead to a more fulfilling life. Show Highlights In this episode, you'll discover: How Dan's creative experiences led him to begin a podcast focused on questions. Dan's two “journeys,” both driven by questions: How do I use my creative gifts for God, and how do I use them to have fun? Why Dan doesn't check his brain at the door. How to find the divine in the mundane. How turning thiry led Dan to think about his mortality more and the desire to “contribute a verse." The story behind the color and design of the Better Questions Podcast logo. What Dan and his co-hosts are trying to accomplish with the Better Questions podcast. The value of asking questions that lead us to act on godly impulses rather than asking questions to prove what we already believe. How parables convey deep truths in the context of stories. Practical ways to begin asking better questions. Why Dan studies film. Key Takeaways 1. Curiosity is an indispensable part of your creative life. Dan talked about his need to follow his curiosity, and how it has led him to explore many different creative pursuits, including film, music, storytelling, podcasting, and other areas. If we want to create new things we must constantly explore our curiosity. What have you been reading, watching, listening to, or exploring lately? 2. Movies are the language of modern culture. That may sound like an extreme statement, but I believe it's true. You can go almost anywhere in the world and people will be familiar with Star Wars, the Avengers, Lord of the Rings, and many other movie worlds and franchises. Why? Because stories draw us in, and movies combine many art forms into one compelling format. I strongly encourage everyone to take a deeper dive and learn more about various aspects of storytelling, screenwriting, cinematography, film scoring, and any other areas of interest related to movies. You will not only be equipped with a greater knowledge of how to interpret movies, but also with the capacity to enjoy them more. And if you REALLY want to get serious about studying film, I recommend that you take a deep dive into the great film of all time: Citizen Kane. 3. “The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” Dan referenced this quote from Dead Poets Society, a fantastic film that has inspired artists of all kinds. But what does it mean? It means that you are not meant to compromise or settle—you are meant to do everything you can to be your authentic self and give the world the gift only you can give. Don't let your time on earth end without contributing a verse to the eternal epic of human history.
