In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. John Delony, we go deeper into the realities of youth sports culture and what it means for families today. From the pressures of travel sports to the rising anxiety among young athletes, Dr. Delony offers honest and thought-provoking insight for parents trying to do the right thing.We discuss the difference between true shared experiences and the pressure that can come with elite youth sports. Dr. Delony also shares why kids often absorb the stress of the adults around them, how sports can either help or harm a child's mental health, and why loving the game matters more than mastering it at a young age.The conversation also touches on issues facing today's teenagers—including social media, sports gambling, and the growing pressures of modern culture—and what parents can do to guide their kids through it all.If you're a parent navigating youth sports, this episode offers practical wisdom about raising resilient kids, keeping perspective, and making sure the game stays healthy for the whole family.

Send a textDr. John Delony on Anxiety, Marriage, and Turning Insight into ActionIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we  welcome Dr. John Delony to discuss how lasting change requires action, not just insight. Delony connects his approach to lessons from his father, a homicide detective and hostage negotiator who moved toward crisis, and his mother, who began college at 42 and earned a PhD at 57. He argues anxiety is an internal alarm system and that money, anger, and relationship problems often signal deeper issues beneath surface labels. Delony critiques cultural narratives that prioritize feelings and overload romantic partners amid widespread loneliness, urging couples to build friendship, service, and practical “repair” strategies. He recommends choosing reality through honest inventories, building trusted connections (including “outsourcing” perspective to reliable people), and prioritizing health, sleep, and faith.

Today on Honoring the Journey, we chat with Stuart Delony, a former pastor turned satirist and creator of the "Snarky Faith" podcast and column. Stuart shares his colorful journey from growing up as a Southern Baptist kid whose mother took him to tent revivals seeking healing for his disabled sister, through 20 years of ministry marked by constant questioning, to his current work using humor and satire to examine faith and deconstruction. Leslie & Stuart touch on the absurdity of end-times theology, the trauma embedded in evangelical culture, the importance of self-care during difficult times, and how laughter can be a powerful tool for healing. Stuart's new book, "The Tribulation Survival Guide: How to Stay Alive When Everything Else Is Dead," uses satire to hold up a mirror to the anxiety-inducing escapism of rapture culture, while the conversation itself offers a refreshing reminder that sometimes we need to step back, laugh, and focus on what we can actually control—loving people right in front of us.Check out Stuarts new book, The Tribulation Guide on Amazon HERE!You can read his content on Patheos HERE.Key Points of Interest:• Stuart's early "BS meter" developed from being dragged to tent revivals and faith healers as a young child • How seminary education "ruined" him for traditional ministry by teaching him to actually read the Bible critically • The church plant in a bar that welcomed atheists and created open discussion spaces • His satirical book mocking end-times theology and the rapture culture that creates distance from present-day love and action • The parallel deconstruction journey he shared with his wife, which drew them closer together • Why end-times obsession is really about escapism and keeps people from caring about the environment, neighbors, and real-world issues • The importance of laughter, self-care, and stepping away from constant outrage in our current political climate • Setting healthy boundaries with family members while still honoring them "from a distance" Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?
