Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Listen in this week as Jill proposes a challenge for listeners - to give 11 genuine compliments to 11 different people over the course of 11 consecutive days, beginning on August 11th! She notes that so many people struggle to give sincere compliments, often defaulting to insincere ones, so the challenge is intended to push listeners to be more present, observant, and generous with their praise of others. While Jill acknowledges that this can initially feel uncomfortable and/or vulnerable at first, she encourages listeners to step outside of their comfort zones and to push past those feelings, outlining some steps to help prepare such as taking time for self-reflection and self-compliments each day before giving them to others. Jill also suggests that going through this process of intentionally complimenting others can be eye-opening and transformative and may even reveal things about yourself, your relationships with others, and/or the general social dynamic of withholding genuine praise. She is really excited about this challenge and invites you to listen in for more details! We could all use a little personal growth, increased mindfulness, and social connection after all! Show Notes: [01:36] - Jill is inviting listeners to give 11 authentic compliments daily for 11 days! [03:39] - Jill argues that compliments need to be truthful, not just people-pleasing attempts. [06:25] - You'll discover self-awareness, connection, and emotional depth via consistent, sincere compliments, even when it's hard. [08:42] - Hear why so many of us tend to be guarded and stingy with compliments. [10:43] - Authenticity starts with grounding your body via breath and sound before taking outward action. [13:13] - Jill encourages listeners to start each day of the 11 days off with compliments to themselves. [15:14] - The 11-11-11 challenge begins on August 11th, so reflect beforehand, and share the journey with others!

It all started the summer before high school, when her family moved into what seemed like the perfect home in Fort Wayne, Indiana. But the moment they arrived, things were… off. Doors wouldn't open, even when unlocked. Strange kids from next door appeared at all hours. And then one night, while everyone slept, something began tapping at her bedroom window—over and over again. At first, she blamed the neighborhood kids. But when she pulled up the blinds to catch them in the act… no one was there. What followed was a string of terrifying moments she still can't explain to this day.

You've probably heard the saying “Money talks.” What would money say to you if it wanted to be your idol? And what might God say in contrast?1.     Money says: “Look at how much more others have than you.”  This counterfeit god uses envy to enslave us, driving us to want more. Proverbs 14:30 says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”God says: “Be content with and grateful for what you have.” The antidote to envy is gratitude. 2.     Money says: “You don't have a greed problem.” Money insists, “You don't have enough money to be called greedy. Only rich people are greedy.” Yet Jesus warned an audience of mostly poor people, “Watch out! Be on guard against all kinds of greed.”  God says: “Recognize that the tendency toward greed is a constant challenge.” The antidote to greed is generosity. 3.     Money says: “Worry about me!”  We have the illusion that we won't worry about money if we have more money. But the fact is, the more money we have, the more we think about it and worry about it. God says: “Trust me as your provision and source.” There is a linkage between seeking God's Kingdom and knowing God's provision. 4.     Money says: “Giving may be a good idea, but you can't afford it.” One of the biggest lies money tells is that if you had more money, you'd be more generous. But statistics show that people with lower incomes give a higher percentage of their money than people with higher incomes. God says: “Give, not because you can afford to, but because you can't afford not to.”  If you don't start understanding the role of generosity when you don't have much, you will not grow into it when you do have much. 5.     Money says: “If you just keep getting more, eventually you'll have enough.” But it's like a treadmill of acquisition; we never get there. We never reach “enough.”God says: “The antidote for consumerism is compassion.” Only when you choose to spend on behalf of others instead of on yourself will your heart begin to change. Text: Luke 16:13; 12:15-34; 19:1-8  Originally recorded on December 12, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

The Guys are back after an extended health crisis. News You Can Use and Share! MyHeritage added 540 million historical records in May and 1.25 billion records in June! Among these are 731 million records from French newspapers, part of a push to expand its vast collections of new records from non-English language resources. Vivid-Pix has partnered with the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE) and PocketRN, through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to assist in caring for aging memory care patients and their caregivers. FamilySearch International and Michigan State University have announced an extensive expansion to MSU's online collection, Enslaved, at https://enslaved.org/, and at FamilySearch.org. The new dataset uses the 1900 U.S. federal census records to document formerly enslaved individuals and their families. (Enslaved.org is worthy of your financial support.) FamilySearch added 30 million new records from eight (8) countries, including Italian civil registration records, Brazilian cemetery records, and records from the American Medical Association's deceased physicians (1864-1968). Listener Email Joanne was thrilled with MyHeritage's addition of 1926 Canada Census records of Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. These included both of her parents! Judi shares that Essex County, New Jersey, newspapers are accessible at the Newark [NJ] Public Library, and that the Newark News can be searched online. (See https://www.npl.org/collections-services/charles-f-cummings-new-jersey-information-center/inventory-of-new-jersey-newspapers-on-microfilm/.) Ken has been researching Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and local studies. He has used census records and military documents, and he warns that there are transcription errors (manual and mechanized) that researchers should be alert to these, and continue their personal research to locate and include the original documents whenever possible. Laura writes to share some issues she has had with Newspapers.com and the responses she received from the company. She discusses the need to be alerted by online companies of known problems on that they are working to resolve. Jana responded to Drew's comments about Tennessee records, and she discusses that ‘missing' individuals may have migrated to Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri. Consider common migration patterns and check for records in other states. Paula is greatly concerned about shrinking genealogical societies. She is searching for resources and forums for discussions of strategies. George suggested contacting the National Genealogical Society for assistance. Mary is seeking advice on determining the parentage of an illegitimate ancestor. Drew offers advice about the use of DNA testing strategies. Lisa asks about the 1860 U.S. federal census agricultural census. Column 44 asks about molasses and its suggestions of values of the source: M for maple and S for sorghum. She has seen the value of ‘CC' and wonders what that indicates. The Guys cannot find anything in any enumerator instructions, and they ask other listeners to share their knowledge and experience on this issue. Drew provides a recap of his experiences at the South Carolina Genealogical Society's Summer Workshop in Columbia in July. Drew will be presenting at the International Jewish Genealogical Society Conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana, soon and shares some thoughts. Please let us hear from you at genealogyguys@gmail.com with your questions and comments.

Retired agent Kathy Adams reviews the rescue of a restaurant owner who was kidnapped for ransom at gunpoint from his Champaign, Illinois, Mexican restaurant and held for five days in September 2006. Using cell site analysis during the multi-state investigation, Kathy, along with FBI agents assigned to Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin and FBI Headquarters, along with investigators from the Champaign Police Department, were able to identify, track and arrest the kidnappers. The victim was rescued from a motel room in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and most of the $250,000 ransom money recovered. Kathy Adams was the first female FBI agent to become a SWAT team operator and was the first female FBI SWAT team leader.

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Jill spends time this week exploring over-giving and the importance of pruning relationships and commitments in your life, sharing personal experiences when she realized that she had been giving too much of herself to certain people and businesses without receiving the same level of attention in return. She likens this idea to tending a garden when she had neglected her own container garden and allowed it to become overgrown. Just as the flowers were "begging to be pruned," she realized that in her own life, certain relationships and obligations were draining her energy. Jill shares examples of reaching out to a business only to be disappointed when they declined to sponsor her event, and she reflects on family relationships in which she felt the giving was one-sided. In these cases, she decided that it was time to cut away the excess and focus her time and energy on more reciprocal relationships. On the other hand, though, she also shares a story of a friendship in which she initially felt hurt by a lack of reciprocation, but upon further reflection, she realized that her friend was actually kind in other ways. This realization allowed her to let go of the resentment and appreciate the relationship for what it was. Ultimately, Jill is discussing the importance of self-care and being more particular with your time and energy, encouraging listeners to take inventory of their relationships and commitments and to have the courage to prune away the ones that are draining rather than nourishing. She suggests this can be a powerful act of self-love and kindness, allowing you to show up more fully for the people who truly matter! Show Notes: [01:29] - Even though ​giving feels natural and joyful, Jill has realized that it's quietly draining when rarely reciprocated. [05:30] - Jill reflects on how it hurt when generosity wasn't returned, revealing that she subconsciously hoped for appreciation in exchange. [07:15] - Eventually, even pure-hearted giving begs the question: will they ever give back? [09:12] - Jill admits to having misjudged one friend and also finally stopped chasing a family member. [11:12] - Support can come from surprising places, like a childhood friend who buys ten VIP tickets. [12:56] - After giving a company $200K in business, their refusal to sponsor Jill truly stung. [15:29] - After some deep reflection, Jill chose to stop supporting those who never truly showed up in return. [17:25] - Without pruning, everything weakens, and offshoots drain the flowers just like distractions drain us. [19:57] - Jill argues that by trimming relationships and distractions, we protect our energy and grow into our full potential. [22:28] - Sometimes, the kindest thing that you can do is to unapologetically withdraw. [24:23] - True self-honesty means examining everything (relationships, habits, even screen time) and deciding on what needs to go. [25:20] - Don't forget about the upcoming Be YOU event in October!

Unaddressed wounds don't just hurt us—they position us for the enemy's trap.

Most of us believe nothing could be better than seeing our dreams come true. In that pursuit of happiness, it never enters our minds that getting our heart's desires could, in fact, be the worst thing that ever happened to us. Good things can go bad.Why does getting your heart's desire so often lead to disaster? It's because our hearts are idol factories. We can take a good thing, indeed a gift from God, and if we're not careful, we can end up elevating it to a place where it was never meant to be, giving it a position it was never fit for.  An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your attention and affection more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.One of the most classic pictures of this is found in the Old Testament book of Genesis.  Abraham was born into a wealthy family of idol-worshipers. But God made him a staggering offer: if he would forsake his idols, leave his ancestral home, and follow God's leading, the Lord would bless him beyond his wildest dreams. More specifically, this promise would be fulfilled through Abraham's offspring. The problem was, Abraham had no offspring. He and his wife were childless. But he took God at His word and stepped out in faith. The years passed, and still, no child came. Finally, when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, it happened. Miraculously, a son was born to them. They named him Isaac. From the moment of his birth, he was the delight and the idol of his father's heart. So, “God stepped in to save both father and son from the consequences of an uncleansed love.” (Tozer)God tested Abraham, asking him to sacrifice his son—his only son, whom he loved. The Lord knew Abraham had to deal with his idol, and as painful as that was for Abraham, the alternative would have been even more painful.   If a person is put in the place of God, it creates an idolatrous love that will smother the person and strangle the relationship.Abraham passed the test. He obeyed, and God stepped in, stopped Abraham, and gave him back his son.In our lives, things will inevitably arise – even good things – that we will turn into idols.  It may be your children, your husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend. It may be success in athletics, or a dream to be on the stage, or making it big in business.  Idols demand to be fed. We will sacrifice for them, or to them. Yet they never end up delivering.Good things can and often do go bad as we turn them into our idols.  And it's then that God, in His mercy, calls us to a Moriah moment. Mark it well: It will not be easy.  The most painful of times will be when our “Isaacs” are challenged, threatened, or even removed.  Sometimes it seems as if God is killing us when He challenges our idols.  In reality, He's saving us.  Though it appeared that God was being excessively cruel to Abraham, in reality, God was freeing Abraham to be a great man who would become the Father of our Faith.     Text: Genesis 22:1-18Originally recorded on November 21, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Jill is back - not just back behind the mic but truly back in her energy, her confidence, and her clarity. After a challenging stretch supporting her ill father through a medical ordeal that she shared on the podcast recently, she returns refreshed with a major announcement: the Be You event is officially happening, and its first sponsor is a game-changer! Jill takes us behind the scenes of how she secured a huge sponsorship from Surack Enterprises, a billion-dollar company that rarely supports non-nonprofits, but this wasn't luck. It was boldness, clarity, and unapologetic belief in her mission. She didn't play it safe; she instead asked for what she really wanted, and it worked. She encourages listeners to consider, where are you holding back, and in what areas of your life could you be braver? Jill also discusses the upcoming Be YOU event and why she highly values in-person events over virtual event, highlighting that while it's much more difficult to hide at an in-person event, that is exactly what makes it worth it. Whether you're planning to attend or just eavesdropping for now, she shares insights that apply to any in-person gathering, such as the power of being seen, the energy that builds when humans connect off-screen, and the kind of real change that begins not when you arrive but even at the moment you say “yes” and register. Expect some real talk about hiding vs. showing up, fixing yourself vs. remembering who you are, and why the version of you you've been chasing isn't some future fantasy but is actually already inside you, waiting. Jill invites you to meet her, meet each other, and meet yourself, possibly for the first time in a long time. There's no “better version” of you. There's just you, and you are more than enough!   Show Notes: [01:29] - Jill is happy to be back with refreshed energy! [02:59] - Jill discusses her bold decision to pursue sponsorships for October's Be You event. [05:10] - Hear how Jill pitched Surack Enterprises directly and landed a rare $10K sponsorship for the October event. [07:51] - Stop playing it small; don't be afraid to ask for what you truly want! [09:33] - In-person events reveal our energy, and we grow when we go out of our comfort zones and do what we otherwise tend to avoid. [11:51] - Jill highlights the power of shared energy and intention at in-person gatherings. [14:25] - Authenticity, not perfection, is the goal, and attending alone might be exactly what your soul needs. [17:01] - Jill reveals that attendees will connect in a Telegram group, with resources and a shared community before the event begins.

The Old Testament prophet Ezekiel wrote, “These men have set up idols in their hearts.” (Ex. 14:3) I would suggest that those words written thousands of years ago could easily apply to us. Though we may not bow to idols of stone or wood, the issue of idolatry is no less real now than it was in Ezekiel's day. As we begin this series, we're going to consider some fundamental questions: What is idolatry?How do I know what my potential idols are?Why does the Bible make such a big deal about idolatry?Let's start with “what is idolatry?”An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your attention and affection more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.An idol has such a controlling position in your heart that you can spend most of your passion and energy, your emotional and financial resources, on it without a second thought.  An idol is anything so central or essential to your life that, should you lose it, your life would hardly be worth living.  The question isn't IF we have an idol problem. That's a given. The question is, “Which idol is God's biggest rival in my life?” Some potential idols might be: Money SuccessAttractivenessRelationshipsChildrenPleasureCareerChurchSo, how do I know what my idol threat is? These questions might reveal it. Which of these do I find myself thinking about the most? Which one of those do you most fear losing or feel like life might not be worth living without it?Which one of these idols most gives me a sense of identity?Which of these do I look to most to make me feel secure?Which one of these do my efforts and resources most tend to revolve around?Which one of those would other people who know me well say is my most threatening idol?The Ten Commandments begin with a warning against worshiping any gods other than Yaweh. Why? Because it's the key to all other issues. You never break any of the other commands without first breaking the first one.Why does God hate idolatry so much? He hates it not simply because it robs Him of the honor and worship and adoration He deserves, but God hates it because of what it does to us.See, the counterfeit gods have not gone away. They have just changed clothes. They still promise much and fail to deliver. They still get us to sacrifice our lives to them without coming through for us.  And that's why God hates them so much.  They destroy His children.  Text: Ezekiel 14:3; Exodus 20:1-3Originally recorded on November 14, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

The 2nd commandment directs our mouths and tongues toward God. It does not take long to see how the Lord's name is misused, but the biggest offense is when false preachers offer lies in place of God's Word. The Christian is called to not only deny such offensive words, but to call upon the LORD in the day of trouble and pray, praise, and give thanks. We pray for our pastors, teachers, and workers, that they might speak God's Word faithfully and fulfill this command to His glory. Rev. Dennis McFadden of Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne, IN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 2nd commandment. To learn more about Emmanuel Lutheran, visit emmanuellutheran.org.

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Jill opens up in this vulnerable episode in which she discusses the difficult situation that she is currently in caring for her sick father. She shares how she has had to step back from her usual podcast schedule to focus on this challenge and how it has been truly physically, mentally, and emotionally draining for her. Listen as she discusses the importance of being gentle and compassionate with yourself during challenging times rather than judging or criticizing yourself. Even though she knows the importance of self-care and being well-resourced, she shares how she has found herself neglecting her own needs in the process as she has poured everything into caring for her father, recognizing that this is a pattern that she has fallen into before when faced with difficult circumstances. Jill openly shares the specific ways that she has been struggling such as forgetting to eat, drink water, exercise, and get proper rest, explaining how this has led to her becoming increasingly depleted and unable to function at her best and ultimately realizing that she needed to take a difficult but necessary step - asking for help. Jill's sincerest hope in sharing this personal journey on the show is that it resonates with listeners who may be going through their own difficult seasons. She reveals how she wants to encourage everyone to be kind to themselves, set boundaries, and to not hesitate to reach out for support when needed. Even when life gets overwhelming, self-compassion is so incredibly important!   Show Notes: [02:53] - Jill is discussing having to prioritize self-compassion by accepting her limits during an emotionally challenging time. [04:56] - Instead of judging herself, Jill used tools and self-kindness to manage exhaustion. [06:36] - Jill shares how, knowing that she is depleted, she forgives herself and applies self-care with compassion. [08:33] - Hear how, even when deeply depleted, Jill knows that returning to basic self-care is her best defense. [11:08] - Overwhelmed, Jill reverted to old patterns and neglected her own needs and boundaries. [14:28] - Jill admits to having slipped into martyrdom, forgetting to balance caregiving with self-care. [17:33] - Rather than self-blame, Jill has accepted her limits and has finally reached out for help, even though it was difficult for her. [20:49] - Jill, despite feeling exhausted, creatively problem-solved, securing assistance after admitting that she had tried to do too much on her own. [22:47] - Jill encourages others to question overextension, recognizing that it often masks self-worth patterns that are based on past trauma. [25:40] - Now with help, Jill can finally be present with her dad as a daughter and not as a nurse.

Paul begins this letter to the Christians of Corinth by blessing God, calling Him the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. Despite his praise of God, Paul's journey has not been easy. He writes after enduring intense suffering, likely in Asia, where he says he was burdened beyond strength and felt certain he was going to die. This experience, Paul demonstrates, taught him to stop relying on himself and to trust fully in the God who raises the dead. As he writes again to the Corinthians (perhaps for the third or fourth time), Paul doesn't hide his affliction. He shares it so that the comfort he received from Christ might be passed on to others.   The Rev. Dennis McFadden, assistant pastor at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 2 Corinthians 1.   What does it mean to follow Christ in weakness? What does true ministry look like in the face of criticism, suffering, and spiritual warfare? And how can the Church hold fast to the Gospel when pressured by the world—and even by false teachers within?   On Thy Strong Word, we walk verse by verse through, arguably, the apostle Paul's most personal, emotional, and paradoxical letter: 2 Corinthians. From forgiveness and reconciliation to generous giving and boasting only in the Lord, 2 Corinthians calls every believer to follow Christ boldly. This is the way of the cross, where God's grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in you.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

We are wrapping up our series on the topic of worship with some honest talk, because here's the thing: worshipping God from the heart isn't always easy. There are times when worship comes easily—when life is good, prayers are answered, and joy overflows. But what about when it's not? What about when your heart is heavy, when questions remain unanswered, and when hope feels distant? That is the place where worship sacrifices. Some would say it's hypocritical to praise when you don't feel like it. God says, it's not hypocrisy, it's obedience.  Hebrews 13:15 says: “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that confess His name.”Praise and worship are never to be slaves to our circumstances but masters over them.  Sacrifice has been part of worship since the beginning. And while Jesus' death and resurrection mean blood sacrifice is no longer needed, there is still a place for sacrifice in our praise. There is still a time when our worship of God costs us something. Will we worship even then? Is He still worthy of our praise—even when it's hard? Here are three conditions when worship may require sacrifice for you in the days ahead. 1.     When someone has hurt or wronged you. (Acts 16)Like Paul and Silas, you, too, to varying degrees, are going to be hurt by people. You're going to be wronged and mistreated. And you're going to face the challenge of how you're going to respond.  Will you commit to offering a sacrifice of praise anyway?  Is God still worthy of your praise?Christ is often most clearly shown when in our mistreatment, when things are totally unfair, and we worship anyway. It's then that people wonder, “What is it that you have?  What do you know? Whatever it is, I want it.” 2.     When you are deeply disappointed. (Habakkuk 3:17-18)What happens to your worship when things don't turn out the way you'd hoped? For the prophet Habakkuk, his worship rose like a defiant “nevertheless.” Even in the face of all these hard things, even when things don't go my way…I will rejoice in the Lord. 3.     When you're worried or afraid. (Psalm 27)David is faced with threats of all kinds, yet even in the middle of all these fears, the one thing he knows he needs is worship. He knew that in the sanctuary, in God's presence, he would find perspective and the recovery of hope. Note what happened in each of these stories. Worship came first, and then came the transformation. The sacrifice of praise was offered before circumstances changed. Now it's our turn. Will you allow the circumstances to silence your praise, or will you determine to offer God a sacrifice of praise? Give God the worship that perhaps touches His heart the most, and in the process, you may find Him to be everything you need. Text: Heb. 13:15; Acts 16; Hab. 3:17-18; Ps. 27Originally recorded on February 7, 1999, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Join Jill for the five-year anniversary of Be YOU - a special live podcast event celebrating 300 episodes of the podcast - on Saturday, October 25th from 1–5 p.m. in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Tickets are selling fast at jillherman.com/beyou, and discounted rooms are available at a boutique hotel right next door! Jill offers up a short and sweet but also vulnerable discussion this week on Be YOU – not because she is talking about heartbreak or grief but because she is talking about something that so many of us do but are ironically often dishonest about, even to ourselves: lying. She isn't talking about the “double life” kind of lies but rather the seemingly harmless white lies – telling your hairdresser that you love your 'do even when you actually hate it or telling someone you'll attend something when you don't really want to. Listen in as Jill gets real about some of the little lies that she has told over the decades, especially ones that she told to protect other people's feelings or avoid conflict or unpleasant confrontation. As will likely ring familiar to many listeners, Jill wasn't lying out of a place of manipulation but rather out of a place of fear – afraid of not being liked or of disappointing someone. The purpose of this episode of the show is not to pass judgment on those who frequently find themselves telling similarly motivated white lies but rather to call attention to it and examine why so many of us do it. These lies can eventually stack up to the point at which we are no longer being our authentic selves, which is a tragic betrayal of our own selves. Jill also talks listeners through how to gently and lovingly call someone out when you see the dishonesty on the other end. Again, the purpose is not to pass judgment or shame but rather to open up a conversation in which both parties are invited to be fully transparent and honest, so if you have ever told a white lie to keep the peace (and let's face it – we pretty much all have at one point in time or another) or if someone in your life keeps dodging the truth, then this episode is definitely for you! Show Notes: [01:15] - Jill used to tell small, protective lies because she feared hurting others. [03:01] - Jill has realized that lying for her has stemmed from fear, disconnection, and a lack of trusting herself. [06:32] - Avoidance often masks itself as dishonesty. [09:34] - Hear how you can love someone and still address dishonesty without judgment or shame. [12:15] - Before confronting others about their dishonesty, practice honesty with yourself via reflection or even empty chair work.

The first night in their bargain-priced Fort Wayne rental, Jessica, her mom, and her brother discovered the house would not let them in. Every lock clicked open, every knob turned—yet the door stayed sealed until Jessica's stepdad arrived and it swung wide as if nothing had happened. Soon, strange “settling” noises grew bolder, and the nine feral kids next door began knocking at ungodly hours. Then, just past midnight, soft finger-taps drummed across Jessica's bedroom window—far too high for any child to reach. Was the house guarding its newest residents…or choosing its prey?
