This week we're discussing The Truth We Don't Want to Face.  When betrayal, ongoing conflict, or a child's escalating behavior keeps reopening old wounds, it's easy to reduce people to their worst moments. That mindset feels protective, yet it shrinks our capacity for peace, models bitterness to our kids, and keeps us tethered to pain. Marissa Lee, author and single parent, joins Robert and Elizabeth to unpack how learning to separate a person's worth from their actions helps us heal, set clearer boundaries, and stay grounded in dignity—ours and theirs. Today, we cover three main points: Contempt dehumanizes. What contempt looks like, how it spreads in our homes and culture, and why it leaves relationships stuck. Compassion expands our capacity. How extending dignity to others softens the shame within us and frees our energy for what matters. Practical ways to see worth. Simple, repeatable steps to move from judgment to curiosity, from reactivity to agency, including naming our feelings, resetting expectations, and choosing actions that align with our values. Seeing someone's humanity isn't excusing harm—it's refusing to let contempt define you. Curiosity builds bridges; ask "why" before deciding "who" someone is. Your children feel how you speak about the other parent, and honoring their other parent protects your child's sense of self. Boundaries require agency—state what you will do and follow through. Resources Mentioned In This Episode The Gottman Institute – Research from Dr. John Gottman on how contempt is one of the strongest predictors of relationship breakdown. Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff – A book exploring how self-compassion can heal shame and foster emotional resilience. Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend – A guide to setting healthy limits that protect your peace and relationships. Dr. Becky at Good Inside – A parenting resource offering practical tools for setting structure, building connection, and guiding kids through emotional growth.

In this episode, I sat down with PJ Vescovi — financial advisor, pastor, and author of The Great Money Reform — and this one's going to challenge you in the best way possible. We dove deep into the 5 keys to being a truly good steward, not just in theory, but in daily decisions. PJ's insights are fire — especially his stories around radical generosity, godly work ethic, and the real reason you're not walking in financial freedom.  This isn't your average money conversation. This is faith, finance, and focus colliding in a way that'll leave you rethinking how you spend, give, invest, and even parent.   If you've ever asked: "How do I know if I'm being obedient with my money?" "Am I managing my finances with intentionality, or just winging it?" "Why is God calling me to give something that doesn't make sense financially?"

If you've ever made a detailed writing plan—only to find yourself doing laundry, answering texts, or getting lost on Amazon instead—you're not alone. In this episode, I explore how self-control and discipline play a vital role in both our writing lives and our spiritual growth.Drawing from Scripture and Henry Cloud's insights in How People Grow, I unpack why some of us struggle with follow-through, how self-discipline develops, and how accountability can help us cultivate consistency in our writing.You'll be reminded that discipline isn't just about willpower—it's part of God's sanctifying work in us as we write for His glory.* Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5) and a reflection of Christlike maturity.* Discipline grows as we abide in Christ and take practical steps to cooperate with Him.* Some of our struggles with discipline may come from not having learned follow-through early in life—but growth is still possible.* “Other-discipline” through accountability can help us build habits until self-discipline becomes internalized.* Writing within a supportive community can strengthen both consistency and encouragement.Reflection Questions:* In what ways do you struggle with self-control and discipline in your writing life?* Who could you ask to help you stay accountable to your writing goals this week?* How might God be using your writing to shape your character, not just your words?Resource Mentioned:* How People Grow by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John TownsendThe Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.

Who are you dating—or hoping to date—and how are you attracting them?These questions might sound familiar, but I invite you to explore them more deeply. Often, we don't realize that the “type” we're drawn to may be shaped by old insecurities or unresolved wounds. Or that, when we do date, we may unintentionally hold back parts of ourselves out of fear or self-doubt.In this episode, Dr. Henry Cloud unpacks how to move beyond just getting a date—and how to recognize whether the person you're seeing is truly someone worth investing in.

On todays Show James, Chris, Jimmy and Glenn talk about the importance of setting personal boundaries, drawing from Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend's book "Boundaries." the Gang emphasized that boundaries define what is "me" and what is "not me," using examples like skin, truth, and time. He highlighted common issues in personal relationships, such as over-dependence and lack of self-care. The conversation also touched on the need for flexible boundaries in church settings and the importance of respecting others' space. Examples included the impact of poor boundaries on mental health and the necessity of setting limits to maintain healthy relationships. The discussion centered on the importance of compassion and setting boundaries, drawing parallels to biblical teachings. The Gang emphasized the need to help those in need to create a cycle of service. They also highlighted the significance of decision-making for spiritual health, referencing Proverbs. The conversation also touched on the split within the Anglican Church over moral principles and the appointment of a female Archbishop, drawing comparisons to historical church splits.

Now, while dating isn't easy and shouldn't be frivolous, Cloud suggests it may be simpler than many female believers make it out to be. After years of researching, writing, and mentoring single Christians, he shares with us the obstacles (sometimes self-created) that get in the way.

NCF Parenting Cohort PodcastEpisode 05 - BoundariesP. John Bae & P. Eddie ChoHow do you navigate the interactions of your children with your relatives who are non-believers?Show Notes:Genesis 2:24Luke 12:51"Boundaries" by Henry Cloud and John Townsend

In this episode of the Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth Studley delves into the concept of boundaries, emphasizing their importance in personal growth and relationships. He reviews the ten laws of boundaries as outlined in Dr. Henry Cloud's book, discussing how these laws can help individuals navigate their responsibilities, respect, and personal power. The conversation highlights the necessity of clear communication and proactive boundary-setting to foster healthier relationships and personal well-being. Boundaries are essential for healthy relationships. The law of sowing and reaping emphasizes consequences of actions. You are responsible to others, not for their actions. True power lies in controlling your own choices. Respecting others' boundaries is crucial for mutual respect. Boundaries should stem from love, not fear or guilt. Evaluating the impact of boundaries is important. Proactive boundaries define what you stand for, not just against. Envy can be mitigated by focusing on personal goals. Boundaries require action and clear communication. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: How to Set Boundaries When you're navigating life's challenges, you don't need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points. Each week during our six-week series, Truth with Handles, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life. Today's topic: How to Set Boundaries. Do you struggle to take ownership of your life? Are you so consumed with everyone else's issues, that you've made their problems your own? As a Christian do you wonder when it is biblically appropriate to set limits? Tune in to hear how Laura is lightening her load and working her way to owning her life through setting boundaries! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Matthew 5:37: Let what you say be simply “yes” or “no”; anything more than that comes from evil. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 1:27-28: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and of the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” Galatians 6:2: Bear one another's burdens. Galatians 6:5: For each man will have to bear his own load. Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection. Ask yourself: What's in my knapsack? Is it my FAB (feelings, attitudes, behaviors)? Am I carrying the feelings and problems of others? Am I doing for someone what they ought to be doing for themselves? Am I carrying a load that does not belong to me? Is my help helping, or am I making things worse?   Show mentions.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the recent controversy surrounding former HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines who rose to fame from their home renovation show called Fixer Upper, which aired back in 2013. In 2019, they announced their departure from HGTV and the launch of a new network called the Magnolia Network, which finally debuted in 2022. But just last month, many of their fans turned on them after they featured a same-sex couple on their show, Back to the Frontier. Same-sex couples on TV shows are hardly uncommon nowadays, so why have the Gaines received so much backlash and from whom? Episode Links Christie D'Zurilla wrote an article in the Los Angeles Times titled, “Chip and Joanna Gaines' new show features a same-sex married couple. Some Christians are ‘disappointed.'” If you're interested in reading the full article you can find it HERE. Some people who question the Christian community's response to their decision are seemingly misunderstanding the difference between acceptance and affirmation, between making a value judgment and being judgmental. Dr. White gave a series at Mecklenburg Community Church that might be helpful to listen to. It's called “Unchristian,” and its installments are a response to people who say that Christians are judgmental, hypocritical and homophobic. You can find that series HERE. There are two additional series that we think would be helpful for a deeper look at what the Bible has to say about judgmentalism, the true meaning of grace, and the significance of Jesus bringing both grace AND truth to bear on people's lives. Those series are “Judged” and “Getting Grace Right,” both available in .mp3 or .pdf formats at Church & Culture. Finally, there were two authors Dr. White mentioned during today's discussion. The first was John Stott and his book Sermon on the Mount, which includes an exploration of what true judgmentalism is like, and how it can lead to setting yourself up as God. And the second was Dr. Henry Cloud and his book Changes That Heal for more of the discussion on grace and truth.

In today's episode, I share encouragement from God's Word for the days when you're overwhelmed, frustrated, or ashamed—whether it's your health, motherhood, marriage, or finances. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Henry Cloud's Changes That Heal, we talk about how perfectionism can keep us stuck and how pride can be hidden in our shame. Instead of expecting yourself to get everything right, let's anchor ourselves in truth: Trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5–6) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18) Know that God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28) God can use even your broken moments to create something beautiful—yes, even in your health journey. He doesn't expect perfection, but He does invite you to trust Him.   Holistically Healthy Woman: 4 Steps to Move Away from Modern Medicine for Christians www.herholistichealing.com/free   Free Community www.facebook.com/groups/herholistichealing   Book (Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing 8 Common Myths That Keep You Sick) www.herholistichealing.com/book   Holistic Health Coaching www.herholistichealing.com/coaching   Website www.herholistichealing.com   E-mail hello@herholistichealing.com   This content is not meant to be personal medical advice.

Do you think it's okay for Christians to talk about mental health? Join Joyce, Ginger, Erin, and Dr. Henry Cloud as they discuss God's healing through His Word.

In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron McManus and Erwin Raphael McManus, dive into the theme of alignment—the idea that intimacy, generosity, and humanity must work in harmony to create a meaningful life. Building on a talk Erwin gave at the recent Mosaic gathering, the two reflect on how alignment is more than a spiritual ideal; it's a practical framework for understanding values, relationships, and purpose. They begin the episode with updates about the Mosaic community, Erwin's extensive writing journey, and their excitement for the conference.The conversation quickly returns to a concept from Dr. Henry Cloud. The triangle of persecutor, rescuer, and victim. Erwin revisits this cultural lens and introduces his own alternative triangle, with humanity at the top, supported by intimacy and generosity. This shift reframes the narrative, encouraging people to move beyond reactive postures and into proactive alignment. Drawing on demographic data from Mosaic, Erwin shares why the shift in mindset matters, especially in an urban context where financial, emotional, and spiritual challenges collide.As the dialogue deepens, Erwin opens up about the unique challenges facing Mosaic Church, particularly after the loss of their Hollywood Boulevard location. He shares the importance of recognizing who makes up the core community and how generosity often follows alignment. A powerful example is offered through a story of a couple who, after finding financial success, gave a significant gift to Mosaic—not out of obligation, but out of a deeply personal sense of alignment with their values and faith. Erwin and Aaron contrast the giving cultures of suburban megachurches and urban churches, pointing out the complexities and opportunities that come with each.The father-son duo continues exploring how alignment informs every part of life, especially the way we give. Erwin suggests that when intimacy with God is present, questions about generosity answer themselves. They unpack how our values and priorities naturally fall into place when our inner world is in sync with divine love. Aaron shares moments from his own journey, and together they challenge listeners to examine the stories they tell themselves about scarcity, abundance, and what it means to live generously in a self-centered culture. It's a call to shed limiting beliefs and embrace a mindset rooted in trust and purpose.Rounding out the episode, Erwin and Aaron shift into a series of thought-provoking discussions—on the dangers of unchecked technology, the future of AI, generational trauma, and the need for personal agency. They ponder whether AI will reflect the best or worst of humanity, and Erwin shares chilling examples like the embedded kill switches in Chinese solar panels. Despite the heavy topics, the message remains clear: while external threats exist, the greatest obstacle—and opportunity—lies within ourselves. The episode ends with a call to courage, responsibility, and forward momentum.

Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author of Boundaries, Necessary Endings, and more than 40 other life-changing books that have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. For the past four decades, Henry has coached CEOs, guided families, and walked alongside everyday people in their most vulnerable moments to help them grow, heal, and lead. Today, Henry shares what it means to rise through pain, reframe failure and rewire the way we grow.

Together, we explore boundaries, endings, vision, relationships, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. My friends, you'll leave today's conversation with renewed hope, practical wisdom, and a deeper understanding of why the right people in your life can make all the difference. You'll be reminded that the most important work we'll ever do is in relationships—with ourselves, with others, and with the future we dare to believe is still possible.

In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron and Erwin McManus reflect on Erwin's recent trip to Birmingham, Alabama, where he attended the Leadership Factor Conference. Despite a whirlwind of travel from Los Angeles to Houston to Birmingham and back, Erwin shares his excitement about connecting with influential leaders like Chris Hodges, Dave Ramsey, Henry Cloud, and Patrick Lencioni. He emphasizes the power of systems in leadership and entrepreneurship, pointing to Chris Hodges' approach as a model of clarity and effectiveness.

The segment paints a fuller picture of Erwin's spiritual journey and openness to diverse expressions of belief.The episode deepens with Erwin's retelling of Henry Cloud's insights about the pervasive cultural narrative of victim, persecutor, and rescuer. They explore how this psychological triangle plays out in movements like Me Too or immigration debates and discuss the danger of being trapped in any of those roles. Erwin stresses the importance of refusing to see oneself as a victim or aggressor, instead championing a mindset rooted in ownership, personal responsibility, and mutual empowerment. This philosophy extends to his broader leadership approach, particularly in coaching and ministry.The episode wraps with several forward-looking discussions, including Mosaic Church's evolving future, Erwin's leadership during high-pressure transitions, and the launch of  Ghost Artifacts. Aaron and Erwin describe the uniqueness of the hoodie's Japanese fabric and what makes a product costly versus expensive, tying in themes of quality and intention.
