Podcast appearances and mentions of Henry Cloud

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Henry Cloud discusses his personal journey of faith and how the science of psychology affirms the truth of the Bible. My 26-year-old son with Asperger's lives with me after leaving the Army and often reacts strongly to what others say. His siblings want me to create a contract with him; how should I respond? My adult son struggles with alcohol and possibly Adderall. He becomes angry when I confront him. Is this my responsibility, or is it something he and his wife need to address? How do I help my 13-year-old son? His father is trying to coerce him into living with him, and my son has colitis and has said he doesn't deserve to live.

In the world of self-help and psychology there are people who have made certain topics a household term. Gary Chapman made love languages famous. Henry Cloud is the grandfather of boundaries. Eckhart Tolle helped us conceive of the ego. And Melody Beattie is why we know about codependency, due to her classic tome, Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself. I was so honored to have an audience with Melody to discuss the book for a revised edition, just a few years ago. Since we talked, Melody has actually ended her time here on earth. But, her message lives on. Melody is literally cited as one of the pioneers of the self-help movement. This breakthrough book of hers still remains the resource on codependency. Newsweek named Codependent No More one of the four essential self-help books of all time. Melody actually added a chapter on trauma to this revised edition and it went right to the top of the best seller charts, once again. As a human, can we even be completely non-codependent? I'm not sure, but by becoming aware of the signs and habits, we can surely mediate and mitigate codependency in our lives to a great degree. As humans we innately look for the A's from other people;  approval, affirmation, attention, and acceptance. How codependent we are relates to how much we need those A's to feel ok about ourselves. It's nice to get them, but are we ok without them? Can we be at peace without desperately needing positive feedback and reinforcement from other people? The answer is yes and this show will discuss how. When I asked Melody about her own life and any regrets, she flatly stated, “I regret that I've spent much of my life ragging on myself for not being enough.” This is a thoughtful, pondering discussion with Melody where her compassion for herself and others will pour through.

Parenting and addiction are not two words you want in the same sentence, but unfortunately, addiction happens, and thus, parents need to know the facts about it. The Inherited Pattern of Addiction Addiction isn't just about individual choices; it often stems from generational patterns and dysfunction. Many people facing addiction today can trace their struggles back to influences and events in their family history. The interplay of epigenetics and unresolved emotional issues can shape how children are raised and how they handle challenges, impacting their potential for addiction. Recognizing Warning Signs in Children Parents might wonder what the early indicators of their child's potential addiction could be. It's essential to pay attention to changes in behavior, such as shifts in interests, friend groups, or academic performance. Unexplained isolation, carrying certain items everywhere, or noticeable changes in physical appearance can also signal underlying issues. Always trust your instincts; if you suspect something, there's often a valid reason behind it. The Role of Anxiety and Emotional Neglect Balancing Boundaries with Understanding Handling Older Children and Adult Addiction Relapse During the Holiday Season Holidays can amplify stressors, leading to a spike in relapses. Increased pressure, financial strain, and family dynamics can overwhelm someone in recovery. Families can support their loved ones by keeping celebrations manageable and straightforward, and avoiding substances that might trigger a relapse. Planning and open discussions about expectations can alleviate holiday-induced anxiety, helping maintain sobriety.

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?"

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.

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.

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.
