Podcasts about family counseling

This might be hard, but trusing God to provide for your needs instead of yielding to feelings of hopelessness, is the only way to get there.  Can you do that?

Simply look at the upside of whatever you are facing.  What is a beneficial outcome and how can you get there.  Life presents fear and anxiety to everyone.  God can help you see what will be.

Fortunately, we are not up against the cutting edge of condemnation for we belong to Jesus Christ.  Is there someone in your life that might not be there?

Yeah, we all make bad decisions and those decisions also affect others.  Whatever bad decisions you have made, God provides a path  to move toward recovery, if you honestly repent.  Can you do that?

God gives us the will and strength to face challenges in life.  You can't avoide conflict, but your faith can help you power through with a good resolution.

You might be able to "fake" what's on the inside, but God competely undestands who you are and where you are.  Go to God when the stress is just too much.

Are you afraid at letting someone see the "real" you?  Putting on a smile when inside it's a frown?  

You and your children are created in God's image.  Teach your children how to be good stewards of God's word, to make good choices, and consider others before themselves.  You can say it, but demonstrating it will have a lasting effect.  Be the person you want them to be.  Show them how.

Your identity is always on display and while some may see past your false identity, God knows exactly who you are.  False impressions cover up weaknesses and are a tough place to be.  It's time to be who you are...the real you.

Anytime you try to be someone you're not, you create a dangerous situation.  God designed each of us to be in His image.  There is no time limit on when God has time for you.  He has time, every minute of every day.  Keep that connection strong by making time to connect.

Have you ever been taken the wrong way in a conversation?  It's not just the words, or the way you put the words, together.  It's body language and very much a visual communications action.  Discover how you can be a better communicator.  Star with God and He will give you a valuable lesson.

False impressions can have damaging results.  Are you being your true self?  Not a great place to be.  It's time to start being you.

Life is all about change, and getting older sometimes tires us out, our body and our faith.  Life won't let up, but God always amps up the power within us to move forward.  Faith is about staying connected and leaning on God to help.

We trust our GPS to get us where we are going.  We trust our doctors to keep us healthy.  But what about trust between two people?  Is someone depending on you to show trust?  Let God show you how to make that happen.

Have you ever been convinced that love and acceptance existed, when it really didn't?  Tough spot, but God has a way of turing your focus on the truth.  He will also help you through the process of healthy trust.  Maybe it's time to have that talk.

Yes it is, and accountability is attached to faith that assures you that God's unfailing love is worth fighting for.  A simple concept that is not always easy to grasp.

False trust believes that God will supply everything you want, no matter how out of bounds it is.  Healthy trust is where you need to be.  There, you remain assured of God's love.

Are we accountable to those who think they are worthy of our trust?  Hope so.  Trust is accountability, proven when we stand by our word.  So, are you trustworthy?

So what you believe about a situation is purely speculation.  But trust is a scary place to go, IF you don't first talk with God.  Remove doubt by trusting in what God sees, because it is the truth.

Interesting question, but the answer is simple.  By trusting God, you have built a foundational trust that can carry you through every day, every decision, the bad days and the good days.  Trust in God is valuable and always there.

Trust is a foundation on which all healthy development depends.  Confidence, your identity, and success, directly parallel trust.  God, our creator is the ultimate foundation of trust.  So, how can you NOT trust God?

You are, not today, not tomorrow, a self-made person.  You are accountable to God for what you permit to invade your life.  His grace and mercy will hold you on course, every day.  

So, something good happens and we get wrapped up in the "good" part.  But we should be focused on the "God" part.  Think about, what happens in our lives comes from God, our creator.  So, before you celebrate, take time to say "thanks, God".

You can't turn back the clock and get a chance to do something in life.  You won't ever need to, if your life is anchored in Jesus Christ.  No regrets.  That's how you do it.

It starts with good judgement.  It also might be a good idea to run your idea past God.  He has a way of directing our path.  Without Him, we're pretty much...lost.

You are as powerful as a tiny mustard seed.  To tap into that power, tape into your faith and trust in God.  Do more listening, and less talking.  That's how you will hear the answer.

Faith, like a tiny mustard seed is a reminder that no matter how small, we are capable of producing enormous results.  God intended for each of us to be co-creators alongside him.  You are more powerful than you think.

"If only" is the sad song that keeps us stuck in life.  God has a plan for all of us.  If you're stuck, take a moment and let him give you a tow.  You have a gift.  It's time to use it.

There are present and future rewards in store for those whose faith and trust in God reflect their path in life.  It all goes back to one simple place.  Have you had a conversation with God about where you're headed?

We are held accountable first to God for our beliefs, thoughts, talents, and actions.  God wants us to remember  that He is the one who made it all possible.  

Opportunity.  What a beautiful thing.  But if we live our lives with a negative mindset, we go nowhere.  Turn off the negative noise and focus on what God has in store for your life.  You will be amazed.

God has a lot invested in you, but sometimes we fail to see our full potential because we are uncertain and afraid.  Instead, rely on God to help direct your steps, and let your journey, begin.

Simple, believe in God and believe in you.  We are all created by God for a specific purpose.  God knows who you are and what you will do in life.  It's time to have a conversation and get busy.

It's called "self-care" and unless you find the time for you, your life will be damaged.  Step one, make time for God and let Him know how you feel right now.

Simply, by taking ownership of what has happened.  If you don't do this, your heart will become corrupt with resentment, and that will damage your mind, body and spirit.  

Getting older is something that is part of every life.  How we deal with mid-life and senior-life is a big deal.  Using God as our anchor is the key to understanding and responding to life stages.  He is right there with you, every day.

Janelle Miller Moravek is a champion for Youth & Family Counseling's mission of opening doors to mental healthcare so people can heal and thrive. The Executive Director since 2009, she is responsible for overseeing programming, administration, and strategic plan implementation, while representing the organization to community partners and other stakeholders. Her vision, leadership, and passion for improving access to mental healthcare have steered YFC's steady growth over her 15-year tenure.

It's okay to be sad.  That's part of the healing process when something in life goes wrong.  Let God help you with the process of working through and healing.  He is the way.

Denial, depression, anger and finally acceptance.  Yeah, it's a process that must play out.  With God by your side, it's a journey is still painful, but with a much better end result.  

We all have a lapse in character, making a bad decision or not responding when we should have.  God can help you get back on track when it's time to make a decision.  

Drop your guard and get ready to understand that you WILL make mistakes.  But that's okay.  We all do.  Step two.  Sit down and have a conversation with God to get you back on track.  

Taking ownership of success and failure is the first step in connecting to God.  We're not perfect.  We never will be.  But God understands that life is learning, and learning is important to stay on the right path.

A relationship is built on time spent together.  And that's the same with God.  He has a plan for your life, but if you don't spend time with Him, you will never know or understand how to get there.

Step one: Drop the attitude and start listening to what God has in store for your life.  As the sun rises on each day, it's another opportunity to learn about life.  Take some time to talk to God.

Maturity is growing your accountability in Christ.  Will you ever achieve perfection in life? That's not the point.  Maturity is learning how to listen and respond to God.

It isn't what's on the outside that condems a person, it's what is on the inside.  Here's the question.  How is your conscience?

Have you ever done something and just a moment later, wondered why?  You're not alone.  Your acts create your character and your character defines who you are.  Stop and think, then ask God what you should do.

What happens when the mental health system is quietly crumbling — and the woman holding it together has been doing so for 25 years? In episode 257 of Joy Found Here, Janelle Miller Moravek, Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling, pulls back the curtain on America's behavioral health crisis — from a shrinking workforce and impossible pay rates to the hidden toll social media is taking on our kids. Hopeful yet eye-opening, this conversation is a reminder that access to mental health care is not a luxury.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(3:54) How a French major stumbled into 25 years of nonprofit leadership(7:49) Why loving your work makes it harder to switch off(10:39) What nonprofit fundraising really looks like(17:47) Why the mental health crisis didn't start with COVID(20:05) The workforce shortage driving therapists out of behavioral healthcare(22:57) How social media is rewiring kids' tolerance for discomfort(30:16) The wrestling mat conversation that led to her son's ADHD diagnosis(36:48) The "atlas" project helping people navigate to the right care(38:22) Why one person getting help creates a community ripple effect(39:30) What Medicaid rollbacks mean for mental health nonprofits in 2026Janelle Miller Moravek is the Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling (YFC), a nonprofit mental health organization serving Lake County in the Chicagoland area. A Wesleyan University graduate, she joined YFC in 2000 as its first-ever development director and has spent over two decades building it into a leading provider of affordable, accessible mental health services — including bilingual care and Medicaid-covered options — for children, teens, adults, and families. In this episode, Janelle Miller Moravek brings 25 years of nonprofit leadership to a candid conversation about the growing gap between mental health need and workforce capacity — tracing the roots to chronically low reimbursement rates, a lengthy therapist training pipeline, and COVID-era burnout. She connects social media's rise to a surge in adolescent mental health struggles, shares a personal story about parenting a son with ADHD that deepened her advocacy, and makes the case for treating behavioral health literacy as common knowledge. She also introduces YFC's "atlas" project — a navigation tool to help people find the right care — while sounding an honest alarm about what Medicaid rollbacks could mean for organizations like hers in 2026.Connect with Janelle Miller Moravek:LinkedInYouth & Family Counseling websiteLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.
