If you've ever cared for someone with Alzheimer's—or loved someone who has—you know the quiet heartbreak of watching a person you cherish slowly fade, even while they are still physically present. It's a journey marked by grief, exhaustion, and a longing for strength that often feels just out of reach.   In today's episode, storyteller Jennifer Roberts from our West Cobb community outside of Atlanta, Georgia, shares her experience of walking alongside her father-in-law as her mother-in-law battled Alzheimer's. With honesty and tenderness, Jennifer reflects on the weight of caregiving, the sorrow woven into the disease, and the unexpected ways God met her family in the middle of it all. Her story is a powerful reminder that when God calls us into a difficult season, He also equips us with perseverance, sustains us with His presence, and leads us forward with hope, joy, and strength.   If you are a caregiver—or know someone who is—this is a story you won't want to miss, and one you'll want to share.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: If you know someone who is caretaking for a loved one, reach out to them this week by sending an encouraging message, making a call to check in on them, or offering to be of some assistance. ________________________________________________ Listen to Jennifer Roberts' sisters' story from season 8-  Ep. 300- Laurel Henson:  "The Providence of God: A Story of Love After Loss."

In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Sunshine Grace who is a clairaudient spiritual medium and mental health ally whose journey began after what the West might call a “psychotic break” – but what she now understands was a spiritual emergency. During this episode Sunshine discusses what it was like to go from being an atheist to becoming a voice hearer over night and how this has led her on a journey to become a mental health and wellness advocate who is passionate about helping others by normalising psychic abilities. Sunshine now speaks on a global stage to help raise awareness in this area, using her voice to support her with this mission. KEY TAKEAWAYSWhen spiritual awakening happens suddenly it can cause overwhelm and confusion, sometimes leading to spiritual emergency.It is still taboo in some areas of society to talk about hearing voices, therefore, it is important that spiritual mediums have places to talk about their gifts in a non-judgemental and compassionate way.People receive spiritual messages in different ways, clairaudience being one of these.The Universe and Spirit present us with lessons for learning and growth.People, animals and those in spirit can help us on our spiritual and healing journey. BEST MOMENTS· “I was an atheist my entire life, okay? And three and a half years ago, in the middle of my first Ayahuasca ceremony retreat, I started hearing a voice.”“ It was like a million pins stuck in my body and they were vibrating. And, and I tried to connect to my body and ground and breathe. Nothing was working. And this hatch felt like it had opened up to the heavens. And I remember trying all these things, trying to close that damn hatch because that's what felt like it was causing this intense feeling in my body. Anybody who's had a kundalini awakening can probably relate to this. And I couldn't close the hatch. And ever since then, I've been a medium.” "It was embarrassing because I still have wounds as someone who went from being an atheist to a voice hearer overnight. And in a culture that stigmatises voice hearing, I have these wounds over people not believing me.” "And spirit reminded me of that and then said there was this moment on stage where you had this fork in the road. This is me summarizing spirit. Doesn't sound like this exact, but there was this moment where you had this fork in the road. You're standing there on stage, you're feeling unsupported, you're frustrated, you feel alone. And you could have kept your mask on and separated yourself from the audience and pretend like you had your stuff together, but you didn't. You went the right way. You asked for help you, you spoke the truth, and that is the kind of integrity that you need as a medium, to speak, absolutely speak the truth. No matter what's happening.” "I had to like, blow the top off of all of this and come out and just say, look, y'all, I'm a medium and I wanna meet other mediums, because that's how we normalise it.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature. Equipped with advanced certifications in diverse modalities like hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, mindfulness, meditation, past life regression and many more she has honed her expertise to bring about transformative change.As a full-time therapist and trainer, Debbie's driving passion is guiding others, as well as herself, towards their best selves. Embracing the concept of holistic beings, she firmly believes in addressing the mental, emotional, physical, social, energetic, and spiritual facets of well-being and healing. Hosted on Acast.

If you have a teenage or tween daughter, you already know this truth: The girl who used to laugh at everything you said… now looks at you like you've personally embarrassed her just by existing. And that can sting. As moms, we don't just miss the laughter — we miss the connection. We miss feeling like we're welcome in their world. And when the tension starts creeping in, it's easy to either try too hard… or pull away altogether. Today I want to give you three simple hacks — not to force connection, not to control her mood — but to gently crack that shell and invite your daughter's joy back out. These are small shifts that help ease tension and create moments where laughter can actually happen again.   Are you looking for ways to communicate with your girl so she can start opening up to you? Do you want to understand why is it so hard to approach your girl?

Joshua is stepping into impossible leadership. Moses is gone. The Promised Land stands ahead. And the command is clear: Be strong and courageous. In Joshua 1:6–9, we see that courage isn't self-generated. It's grounded in promise, obedience, and presence. God doesn't motivate Joshua with hype. He anchors him in covenant faithfulness and calls him to meditate on the Word day and night. This message reframes success, redefines prosperity, and reminds us that obedience, not comfort, is the path to mission.

Justin shared about God's redemptive plan from Abraham to Israel's journey from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Abraham was called righteous because he believed God, and God sovereignly established His covenant, continuing His promise through Isaac despite human failure. Even through Israel's grumbling in the wilderness, God faithfully guides, provides, and remains present. Ultimately, Israel's story points to Christ, the true passover and fulfillment of the law, completing God's plan of redemption so that He may dwell with His people.

Biblical Counseling Africa: Equipping the Church for Gospel-Centered Care in South Africa and BeyondRecorded on the road at the Biblical Counseling Coalition Global Summit, this Speak the Truth podcast episode features interviews with Kyle Johnston and Jane Kratz from Cape Town, South Africa, about their ministry contexts and the growth of Biblical Counseling Africa. Jane shares how her husband's death in 2012 led her to pursue a theologically rich approach to grief and loss, moving from prior psychology studies to biblical counseling training through ABC's Equipped to Counsel material and later studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with additional church experience in Texas before returning to South Africa. Kyle, an ordained minister at Gracefield Church in Fish Hoek, explains how pastoral ministry exposed a gap between confident pulpit preaching and applying Scripture in complex, conversational counseling situations; this led him to training through Wayne Mack's curriculum in South Africa and a master's degree at The Master's University in Los Angeles (2012), while continuing to prioritize pastoral care and counseling in church life.They discuss why they remain committed to serving in Africa despite opportunities elsewhere, noting both the significant needs in Cape Town and South Africa and the mission field created by migration from other African nations. They describe cultural observations, including hospitality and the value of contextual ministry shaped by South Africa's historical experience, including navigating multicultural ministry after apartheid.Kyle outlines how Biblical Counseling Africa began in part to make CCEF training more accessible and affordable in their context and to expand beyond South Africa through online courses. The organization's aim is to equip local churches across Africa to provide wise, loving, gospel-centered pastoral care that restores Christ to counseling. They describe a three-level approach: (1) grassroots seminars, talks, and workshops (including using ABC conference resources with local case studies and courses such as Jane's nine-week grief care course); (2) training such as ABC's Equipped to Counsel offered during COVID and in-person; and (3) advanced CCEF courses, with growing enrollment. Future focus includes helping pastors develop a church-wide culture of care, vulnerability, and mutual ministry beyond sermon-centered expectations.They explain that Biblical Counseling Africa is a nonprofit and invite listeners to support the work through prayer, financial giving, and volunteering. They emphasize the need for resources to sustain operations, relieve volunteer load, and provide scholarships for students from poorer African contexts. They express gratitude for support from American partners including CCEF, ABC, BCC, and others, noting that courses are offered at about a quarter of the normal cost, and direct listeners to biblicalcounsellingafrica.com for more information and contact.00:00 Welcome to Speak the Truth (Podcast Intro)01:09 Meet Jane: From Grief & Loss to Biblical Counseling02:30 Texas Culture Shock & Accent Stories03:39 Meet Kyle: Pastoral Ministry Path into Counseling06:12 Why Stay & Serve in Africa?

Chadd sits down with hospice nurse and author Penny (Influencing Death) to demystify end‑of‑life care. They cover the difference between hospice and palliative care, natural vs. medicalized death, practical guidance for families (medications, food/fluids, smoking, when to call hospice) and how to choose a hospice provider. The conversation also explores emotional and spiritual impacts—acceptance, forgiveness, joy and legacy work—plus vivid deathbed stories, the phenomenon of deathbed visions and the debate around DMT and other “woo‑woo” moments near death. Real patient examples (including personal stories about Mr. Don) illustrate what to expect and how to support a loved one. Penny shares her journey from late‑in‑life nursing school to over a thousand hospice deaths, offers resources for families, and explains how talking about death eases anxiety. Guests and listeners will leave with compassionate, practical tools and a hopeful perspective on dying.   Check out our partners: -Barbell Apparel at BARBELL APPAREL WEBSITE Use code "Chadd" for a free pair of shorts with a purchase of $99 or more.    -Bare Performance Nutrition and use code "3of7" for 10% OFF! https://www.bareperformancenutrition.com   -Check out 3 of 7 Project https://www.3of7project.com -Apply for our courses at: https://www.3of7project.com/train -Thank you for supporting Three of Seven Podcast on Patreon at: www.patreon.com/threeofseven -Three of Seven Project Store: https://3of7project.myshopify.com/pages/shop Nuff Said.

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,Today we're talking about what it really means to be equipped to love not just emotionally, but biblically.In Scripture, love isn't just a feeling; it's a calling and a discipline. In 1 Corinthians 13, we're told that love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, and not easily angered. That passage reframes love as action something we practice, not just something we feel.Jesus takes it even deeper in John 13:34, saying, “Love one another as I have loved you.” That's sacrificial love. It's modeled by Christ Himself most powerfully seen in Romans 5:8, where we're reminded that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.So how are we equipped to love like that? Through transformation. Galatians 5 talks about the fruit of the Spirit love, joy, peace, patience. These aren't personality traits; they're evidence of God working within us. We don't manufacture this kind of love on our own we receive it from God and reflect it outward.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

In this episode of Faces of Digital Health, Tjaša Zajc speaks with Dale Atkinson, a stage 4 oesophageal cancer patient who was told he had 11.5 months to live—and who is still alive today. Dale shares how he applied his compliance and investigation skills to healthcare: reading thousands of research papers, building a research-grounded AI workflow to sense-check drug interactions and pathways, and learning how to communicate with clinicians to be taken seriously. We discuss patient agency, the doctor–patient relationship, the promise (and risks) of AI for patients, the digital divide in healthcare, and why quality of life must be central to care decisions. Dale also shares how his journey led to new work in patient advocacy, the Beyond the Standard foundation, and the Clear Path Clinic vision for integrative oncology and wellness. Topics include: patient empowerment, AI in patient journeys, evidence-based complementary approaches, healthcare equity, clinician workload, prognosis anxiety, and new patient-led models of care.

We are thrilled to welcome David Kilpatrick, Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York at Cortland and one of the most influential voices in reading research, assessment, and instruction, to the podcast. In our chat, Dr. Kilpatrick breaks down decades of research and gets straight to the heart of what really drives reading success—especially for students with dyslexia. He tackles one of the biggest myths in education: that phonemic awareness is just an early skill you “check off” and move past. Instead, you'll discover why advanced phoneme proficiency is the engine behind orthographic mapping and automatic word recognition, and why it matters far beyond the primary grades. What we hope you'll take away from this is a clarity about which phonemic awareness skills truly move the needle, how to integrate them powerfully with phonics instruction, and how assessment can help you target instruction with precision. If you've ever wondered whether going back to phonemic awareness with older students means going backward, this episode will completely reframe that thinking.

Be equipped. Choose reconciliation. Walk in forgiveness. Want more information about Transformation Church Seminole?
