Today, we continue our series on healthy relationships, and we're talking about managing difficult relationships. There's a wonderful scene in the classic film To Kill a Mockingbird, when the attorney Atticus Finch is confronted by the father of a girl who has accused a black man of rape, the father, enraged walks up to Finch, played perfectly by Gregory Peck. He spits in Finch's face as the attorneys' children watch. You can see the anger in Finch's face, but he slowly and calmly maintains his composure. He simply walks past the man, who now looks pretty small in everyone's eyes. God has given us the power over difficult people. It's called not letting them set the rules. 1 Peter 3:9 says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing because to this you were called, so that you may inherit a blessing.” Not always easy, definitely, but we're capable of it. Remember that. This life is very much about winning and losing. Determine that a difficult person in your life is not going to win by controlling you and getting under your skin. In wrestling terms, don't let that person pin you. Is that obnoxious person in your life really all that obnoxious, or are you a grouch, letting yourself get caught in what is really only a difference in personalities? Go home from work one evening and think about that. Make your mind up to start out the next day by being nice to that person. You'll be surprised how that can change the equation. And that's what Colossians 4:6 is talking about when it says, “Let your speech be always with grace seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” Or maybe you're a man frustrated with the relationship between your wife and your mother. This is always a potentially difficult situation. Maybe you think your wife should be more adaptable, but you've forgotten what God told the man in Genesis 2:24. It says, “This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife. And they become one flesh.” Your responsibility in that situation is to your wife, not to making sure your parents' feelings come first in all situations. So, you see, often that difficult person you're dealing with is you, or at the very least a different perspective will help you see where the fault really lies. Finally, in 1 Corinthians 5, we read that Paul advises for really difficult people, a cooling-off period is legitimate. For example, the person who is causing real strife in a church should not be allowed to go on like that indefinitely; bad behavior sometimes must be confronted for the good of the community. And even for the good of the offended person, this is sound advice. So, if we stick to what the Lord has already told us and our tried and true methods for dealing with difficult people, we can get to a better place. Let's pray.Father God, a person who is angry or a troublemaker creates chaos for everyone. Help us analyze each of these situations as unique so that we know how to handle them from your Word. And most especially help us make it a habit to pray for those who are difficult so that we might see their lives changed and brought into harmony and unity. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

To watch the video of this episode, please go to: https://youtu.be/yq1OnGOK2Bc   A powerful story of how mental health stigma, misdiagnosis, and burnout led to a breakthrough in self-awareness, medical understanding, and true peace of mind.   Have you ever felt compelled to prove your worth through relentless ambition, pushing yourself to professional burnout just to mask a deep, internal uncertainty? Have you struggled for years, feeling that something was fundamentally wrong, but believed you had to solve it all by yourself? What happens when you realize the engine driving your success is actually an undiagnosed struggle?   In this powerful episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu sits down with Jonathan Kemp, creator of the Smart Wisdom technique and author of Finding Peace of Mind, to explore his extraordinary journey from achievement-driven exhaustion to true mental wellness. Jonathan shares how decades of striving for external validation led him to the brink, until a life-changing diagnosis of bipolar disorder type II and dyslexia reframed everything. Together, they unpack the profound impact of mental health stigma, the danger of untreated conditions, and the liberating power of understanding your own mind. Listeners will learn how managing hypomania—not just depression—can be key to long-term stability, why community and social connection are essential for healing, and how AI and mindfulness tools supported Jonathan's transformation. His story is a reminder that mental illness is a medical issue, not a moral failing—and that recovery is possible when we combine awareness, science, and compassion.   In this episode: Recognizing undiagnosed bipolar disorder type II and dyslexia Understanding that mental illness transcends privilege or status Learning how to manage the highs to prevent the crash Embracing community as a vital mental health practice Using AI tools to overcome dyslexia and reduce pressure Launching a mental health awareness walk across the UK & Ireland   Resources mentioned in this episode: Book: Finding Peace of Mind: https://amzn.eu/d/ggWTlvF Jonathan's website: https://www.jonathankemp.com/   About Jonathan: Jonathan Kemp is a mental health advocate, entrepreneur, and the creator of the scientifically validated note-taking technique, Smart Wisdom. Born into privilege as the future third viscount Rodale, he built careers in law enforcement and entrepreneurship before his mental illnesses—Bipolar Disorder Type II, depression, and dyslexia—were diagnosed at age 39. Following a life-changing recovery, he is now on a crusade to de-stigmatize mental health, sharing his experience through his book Finding Peace of Mind and an extensive mental health awareness walk across the UK and Ireland.   “The greatest wealth I have is the knowledge and experience around mental health.” – Jonathan   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?

Stevens new course: Finding Peace in Everyday Life (you choose how much to pay)Support Stevens work and links to other podcasts: stevenwebb.ukDonate paypal.me/stevenwebb or Buy Steven a coffeeTrust Your Path: A Gentle Meditation for Times of ChangeThe inspiration for this meditation came from one of my supporters who shared that they have been listening to my meditations as part of the 12 Steps. That really moved me.I am no expert in the 12 Steps, but I have come to know them through friends and clients over the years. What I love is that their wisdom is universal. They speak to the same truths we all face when we are trying to change, heal, or simply live more honestly with ourselves.This meditation is for anyone walking that kind of path. Maybe you are giving something up, staying sober, breaking an old habit, or learning to live with more acceptance. The process can feel slow, messy, and uncertain. It can feel like you are going nowhere at all. But when you stop and look back, you begin to see how far you have already come.In this episode, we begin with a short reflection on the nature of change and then move into a gentle guided meditation that invites you to trust the process. It helps you rest in what is, rather than chase what might be, and reminds you that growth often happens quietly beneath the surface.This meditation will help youfind patience when progress feels invisibleStay grounded when you want to give upreconnect with trust in your own journeyYou do not have to see the whole path to take the next step.Trust the journey you are on. You will get there.

Feeling exhausted, stretched thin, or stuck in hurry mode? You're not alone. In this message, we explore what Jesus really said about money, worry, and peace — and why the way you steward what you have is directly tied to the rest your soul is craving.This isn't a “money talk.” It's an invitation to freedom. When we learn to trust God first, He teaches us how to live lighter, freer, and full of joy.

In this episode, we dive into the transition from football to life beyond the field. Our guest shares how he navigated this period by leveraging connections, learning business skills, and finding new passions like modeling, influencing, and bodybuilding. He discusses the importance of mentorship, the role of a strong support system, and the mental and emotional challenges faced during this shift. Additionally, he provides insights on how to discover new aspirations, maintain mental health, and the value of embracing the journey rather than just the destination.

What do you do when two things you love pull you in opposite directions? In this episode of Restored, Corie Weathers sits down with Joe Byerly, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and founder of From the Green Notebook, and Clint Boling, a former NFL player for the Cincinnati Bengals. Both men faced defining crossroads in their careers — moments where they could push for one more tour, one more play, one more shot at glory. But each realized the cost was too high. Joe's decision came after 20 years in uniform, leading through wars, deployments, and the heavy responsibility of command. Clint's came in the form of a life-threatening blood clot that forced him to consider whether football was worth risking his future. Their stories reveal a universal truth: the hardest battles are often inside us. Choosing between ambition and family, career and health, identity and transformation can feel impossible. Yet, as Joe and Clint show, choosing peace is not surrender. It's courage. It's the decision to align your values with your life and to finish one story well enough to begin another. Join us for a conversation about conflict within ourselves, the cost of relentless striving, and the grit it takes to pivot toward what matters most. If you have a story of your own about reconciliation, transition, or choosing peace, record a short voice memo and send it to corie@corieweathers.com or find all links here: https://linktr.ee/corieweathers

Raven-Symoné joins the Cyrus girls for a laugh-out-loud yet surprisingly deep conversation about growing up in the spotlight and finally learning to live authentically. From appearing on The Cosby Show at just 16 months old to becoming a household name on That's So Raven, Raven has spent her entire life in the industry. She gets real about what it was like inside the Disney machine including the pressure to look perfect, the battles with body image, and the moment she realized she needed boundaries. She opens up about therapy, healing, and how her marriage to her wife, Miranda, changed everything. (Who needs makeup anyways?!) Each having their own perspective, the three of them unpack surviving fame, childhood stardom, and the toxic “yes culture” of Hollywood. Plus, in a special Dear MT segment, Raven dishes out some relationship advice only she could give (“Sometimes they need a taste of their own medicine”).It's nostalgic for every Disney kid and an honest, empowering look at one of TV's most iconic stars all grown up, grounded, and fully herself.More Raven:https://www.instagram.com/ravensymone/https://www.instagram.com/itstteattime/https://www.youtube.com/@ravenandmirandaConnect with Us:Follow us on Instagram at @sorrywerecyrus, @tishcyruspurcell & @brandicyrus.Do you have questions for Mama Tish and Brandi?

Christine opens up about the challenges of growing up in a loving yet dysfunctional household, the impact of her father's early death, and eventually her own battle with substance abuse.

In this episode of the Leighann McCoy podcast, Leighann delves into the power of prayer and spiritual warfare, focusing on the theme of freedom as a natural response to forgiveness. She addresses challenging questions about God's actions in the Old Testament, exploring the nature of divine justice and love. Leighann emphasizes the importance of approaching God with humility and understanding the cross's transformative power. Keywords prayer, spiritual warfare, freedom, forgiveness, Old Testament, divine justice, humility, cross, God's love, Leighann McCoy Takeaways God's judgments are never random. Divine justice is rooted in love. Morality is taught, not innate. God's holiness demands justice. The cross changes everything. Pride blinds us to spiritual truth. Humility opens doors to faith. God's love is fierce and just. Hell honors human freedom. Questions lead to deeper faith.

“Once food noise quiets down, it doesn't just change the way we eat. It changes the way we live.”Food struggles don't always show up as we may expect. They can sneak up on us, disguised as discipline, willpower, or our latest attempt at “being good.” But in reality, those all-consuming thoughts about what, when, and how much we eat are draining. They're like an app running in the background, sapping our energy and joy each day. In this episode, I sit down with Kim, a past client who spent decades tangled in food noise, emotional eating, and hidden food rules she didn't realize existed.Kim opens up about the reality of secret eating, binge cycles, and the mental toll of battling cravings. Her story is vulnerable, honest, and incredibly relatable. Kim shares what it was like to numb out around food, the shift from excitement to guilt after eating, and how food secretly dictated her self-care, identity, and social life. But things changed, and Kim's journey will show you how healing your relationship with food is not only possible, but transformative.Together, we explore how intuitive eating moved Kim away from relying on willpower and food rules, toward genuine self-compassion, body reconnection, and emotional growth. Whether you're used to white knuckling through cravings or hiding evidence of what you ate, Kim's personal wins, tips, and breakthroughs will give you a clearer lens for spotting sneaky food rules and freeing up mental space so that you can enjoy food on your terms.What You'll Learn:How to spot sneaky food rules and food noise draining your mental energyPractical ways to honor fullness without relying on willpowerWhy emotional eating isn't about discipline—and how dieting makes it harderThe power of self-compassion and how it decreases shame and food guiltA simple plan for coping with emotions that doesn't hinge on food rulesHow healing your relationship with food can expand self-care, compassion, and everyday joyKim's story is full of hope, real-life strategies, and a reminder that change is possible - even after years of struggle. I'm so grateful to Kim for sharing her journey, and I know her insights will help you quiet your own food noise and build a peaceful relationship with food.If you've ever thought, “Why is it so hard to stop eating when I'm full?” - you're not alone.

What if the peace we long for this season isn’t something to be bought, but something to be protected? In a world filled with tempting offers to “buy now, pay later,” this episode invites us to slow down and make room for calm before the holiday rush begins. Together, we’ll uncover how wise preparation, mindful spending, and trust in God’s provision can quiet the financial noise around us and within us. Let’s rediscover the kind of peace that no purchase can provide—peace that flows from gratitude, wisdom, and faithful stewardship. In this episode, John discusses: How financial “noise” increases during the holiday season and how to quiet it The spiritual and emotional dangers of credit cards and “buy now, pay later” offers Why debt can drown out peace and gratitude in our daily lives Three faithful ways to prepare your heart and finances before the holiday rush Key Takeaways: Real peace can’t be purchased or financed—it’s received, protected, and practiced through faithful, daily decisions that align with God’s wisdom. Financial noise often comes from the world around AND from within us, especially when we rush to satisfy wants instead of resting in God’s provision. Every easy payment or credit decision today is a future commitment that can multiply stress, distraction, and debt. When we choose to pay in full, pause before purchases, and set God-honoring boundaries, we trade financial pressure for lasting peace and freedom. “Victory over debt isn’t just about paying off balances. It's about transforming the heart that created them to begin with.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!   VISIT MONEY MADE FAITHFUL: https://moneymadefaithful.com/   GET FREE RESOURCES when you join THE HUB: https://moneymadefaithful.com/resource-library-access/Landing-page   BOOK A WORKSHOP & DETAILS: https://moneymadefaithful.com/money-made-faithful-workshop-2/Landing-page   INVITE JOHN TO SPEAK at your conference, church, or event:  https://moneymadefaithful.com/services   SPECIAL SAVINGS ON JOHN'S BOOK, 'He Spends She Spends' and the small group guide: https://moneymadefaithful.com/shop   FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: @MoneyMadeFaithful   FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @MoneyMadeFaithful   If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!

The clocks have changed, and suddenly the world feels quieter. Evening arrives before dinner, the sky fades early, and we're reminded how much light shapes our mood. But maybe shorter days aren't about loss, maybe they're an invitation to rest, reflect, and reconnect. In today's episode, I explore the emotional shift that comes when time slows down and darkness lingers. It's my reflection on gratitude, stillness, and finding small warmths in a longer night. As the clocks change, we learn to carry light differently, not in hours, but in how we hold each other, our memories, and the quiet grace of simply being. Thank you for tuning in. With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

Today, I'm joined by Brigid, a Functional Women's Health Coach and Mentor who helps moms rediscover that their bodies are not broken — that they're not falling short in motherhood — and that life can actually be full, joyful, and fun, even in the chaos. Brigid guides women to see the truth that their bodies are beautifully made by God, that their vocation is holy work, and that the birth of their children is just the beginning of the transformation God is calling them into. She's a wife, mother of five, and homesteader in Pennsylvania who loves time outdoors with her kids, diving into conspiracy theories, cooking and baking from scratch, and listening to all the podcasts she can. In today's episode, we're diving into a tender but powerful topic — birth trauma. We'll talk about what actually makes something traumatic, how it affects our bodies, our connection with God, and how real healing begins when we invite the Holy Spirit into those memories and emotions.

Her words remind us that while death is an unavoidable part of life, we don’t face it alone. Through the promise of Isaiah 41:10, God calls us to release our fear and hold fast to His strength. He promises His presence, His help, and His upholding hand. When grief grips our hearts or anxiety clouds our thoughts, we can find comfort knowing that Jesus is with us—in life, in death, and forevermore. This episode encourages us to surrender our fears to the One who conquered death and to rest in the hope of eternal reunion with those we love. Today's Bible Reading:“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Inspired by a heartfelt message from a listener, I explore the feelings and anxieties that often accompany this profound human experience. Many people silently grapple with loneliness, and as I address the sentiments shared by our anonymous listener, I aim to shed light on the ways we can cultivate a sense of calm amidst these emotions.Our listener describes a struggle that is all too familiar: the fear of solitude and the yearning for companionship. At 62, he expresses concerns about his diminishing social circle and the daunting reality of facing each day alone. While he has attempted various avenues for connection, the lack of significant relationships brings a heavy anxiety that overshadows his days. Through our discussion, I aim to normalize these feelings, reminding listeners that loneliness is not a mark of failure or a personal flaw but rather a natural response signaling a need for connection.We delve into the emotional and biological implications of loneliness. I liken it to the feelings of hunger or thirst—a signal from our body indicating a deep-seated craving for interpersonal connection. This longing, when unmet, can trigger stress and elevate anxiety levels, propelling us into a cycle of panic and distress. Instead of allowing fear to guide our actions, I propose a different approach: cultivating acceptance and compassion for our feelings rather than a desperate urge to "fix" them.#Loneliness #Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #Midlife #DatingOver60 #MentalHealth #FaithOverFear #InnerPeace #Calm #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #LonelinessEpidemic #AnxietySucks #SelfKindness #EmotionalWellness #MidlifeCrisis #SeniorDating #EmotionalRegulation #NervousSystemCalm #FightOrFlight #AcceptancePractice #SacredPause #StopFixingStartAllowing #FloatingThroughIt #ComparisonScanning #BeWellAndAloha #GinaRyan #MentalHealthMatters #FearOfBeingAlone #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every mother knows what it's like to stand in a storm — the kind that isn't just outside, but inside. Maybe your son is struggling, your faith feels thin, or the future feels uncertain. Today's devotion reminds you that peace isn't found when life is perfect; it's found when your eyes are fixed on the One who is.1️⃣ Peace Is Not the Absence of the StormJesus didn't wait for the weather to settle — He spoke into the chaos. True peace begins when we recognize that God's presence is bigger than our pressure.2️⃣ Focus Determines FeelingsIn the boat, the disciples saw the waves. Jesus saw the Father. What we focus on grows — fear or faith. Peace starts by shifting our gaze from the storm to the Savior. 3️⃣ Faith Doesn't Silence the Wind — It Silences the FearThe storm may not end instantly, but faith changes your reaction. When you invite God's Word into your worry, anxiety loses its authority.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/warfare-prayers-podcast-daily-prayer-devotionals-deliverance-daily-scripture-spiritual-warfare--5866282/support.

When life takes an unexpected turn, when a relationship ends, plans fall apart, or disappointment appears out of nowhere, it can feel like everything is working against you. But what if life is still on your side, even in those moments of heartache and uncertainty? This podcast episode invites you to see challenges in a new way and find peace in the middle of change. When you stop believing that life is against you, you begin to open to the quiet rhythm of possibility, where healing and hope can start to grow. Even in pain there is movement. Even in loss there is life still unfolding with you. Take ten minutes to breathe, reflect, and remember that you are not separate from life. You are part of it, and within that connection, there is always a way forward. Poem: Life Is Still With You When the path breaks open beneath your feet, and everything you planned disappears into air, pause. The world is still breathing with you. The sunrise does not forget your name. The wind still carries new beginnings. Life is not against you. It moves through you, even now in every breath, in every quiet act of courage, in every small moment you choose to begin again.
