Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui explains why it's important to read Scripture for yourself; don’t let your Bible understanding come from the pulpit only.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice explains responses like “You're so sensitive” can be like poison ivy for a relationship because it comes across as defensive. I'm from a country where arranged marriages are common, and I married a man and moved to America. Am I wrong if I started seeing someone else while we were separated and want a divorce? Is it wrong to send money each month to my ungrateful brother? He was codependent with my mom and then deported to another country. After my mom revealed she was sexually abused and became pregnant with me, I lost all respect for my dad. As a Christian, how should I navigate this?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares that there's power in the story you tell yourself, but it can keep you stuck. I got married despite my mentors telling me not to, and my husband has anger issues and a hard time staying employed; how do I do this day in and day out? I walked in on my wife of 10yrs talking to a man on the phone, and I believe she's cheating. Is this grounds for divorce? How do I learn to trust my current husband if my first husband was addicted to porn? I don't know how to trust again.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how we all have emotional blind spots and why becoming defensive can block personal growth. My husband of 10yrs has struggled with a porn addiction that has escalated to massage parlors and voyeuristic behavior. We have young children—should I leave my marriage? I believe my wife shows narcissistic traits, and it feels like everything I do is wrong. How do I deal with a controlling spouse? I've been diagnosed with brain delirium and have intense anxiety. Could my anxiety be related to PTSD?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui explains how to pray and why your relationship with God matters. My daughter has asked me not to interact with my grandsons when they are with their father. Do I need to comply with her wishes? I recently discovered that my daughter was sexually abused by my son, beginning when she was 5 years old. Where do I even start? What does ‘one flesh' in marriage really mean? Does it mean two individuals working together as a team, or does it mean the husband makes all the decisions? My accountant wants to borrow $1,000 from me and keep it a secret. What should I do?
Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ discusses how healthy relationships require personal responsibility and what each person must bring to the table in order to “live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18). My husband believes our 28-year-old son who lives at home is not managing his spending well and needs to take responsibility, but I don't agree. My 70-year-old husband is on his phone from morning until 2 a.m. and won't help around the house; what advice do you have? I struggle to maintain boundaries with women, and it may have contributed to my wife divorcing me; have you seen this before? I quit drinking alcohol last year because of my wife, but over time what I've been viewing online has repeatedly damaged my marriage.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri discusses why we should offer words of affirmation to those around us. It's really important to me to stand up for what I believe is right, but I received backlash after attending an event and speaking up. Should I help my daughter and son-in-law's marriage? My son-in-law says she is showing symptoms of borderline personality disorder, similar to my ex-wife. I can't let go of the feeling that it was my fault my 22-year-old son died by suicide in 2011. I live daily with the belief that I passed on my depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses Jehoshaphat and how God gives you the strength to fulfill your calling, but not God's work. What are your thoughts on a boy under age 6 years old who wants to wear a princess dress at his cousin's house and asks to put on makeup for play? How can I help my 27-year-old son find a stable job? He is living at home and has a felony record. I joined a church and told the pastor I wanted to get involved in outreach, but I haven't heard back. Can a therapist help discern the truth in a marriage? I'm navigating a difficult marriage and recently lost my mom.
In the midst of Great Depression era Columbia, a young man was celebrating his 15th birthday. Intrigued by the prospect of a job opprotunity, he accepted a ride from a strange man as his mother looked on. Little did she nor the rest of the city realize that would be her son's last ride.Acknowledgments and credits to:The New York Times 3/14/1934Missing in the Carolinas and Renne RobersonThe State 12/26/1933
Defense flips the script in Chicago Jake Bates drilled the winner as time expired. The Detroit Lions closed the season by sweeping the division winners and silencing Soldier Field. The defense did the heavy lifting. With four of the top five defensive backs out, Kelvin Shepherd leaned into zone. The Lions played cover 4 and mix-and-match zone looks almost exclusively. Chicago expected man coverage. They did not get it. The results were obvious. The Bears were shut out for most of the game. Caleb Williams looked uncomfortable. Route timing frayed. Aidan Hutchison generated steady pressure. Ty Lake Williams delivered his best game of the season. The linebackers had shaky moments in coverage, and Colson Loveland stacked production, but the structure held. It took about three quarters before Chicago adjusted. By then, the tone was set. Goff, St. Brown, and a patched right side The Bears' radio booth did not expect Jared Goff to move as much as he did. On the tape, the pocket work was efficient, not frantic. The bigger story was protection. Penei was ruled out on Friday. Chris Hubbard stepped in at right tackle and faced Montez Sweat. Hubbard had not played all season. He responded with a clean, composed performance that stabilized the edge. Inside, the much maligned interior offensive line delivered its best pass protection in a long time. It was not perfect. Goff had to flee a couple of snaps and had a few passes batted. But the plan matched the protection. Reads were on time. Matchups were targeted. Amon-Ra St. Brown roasted C.J. Gardner-Johnson throughout. Wherever that matchup appeared, the ball followed. North–south runs and the kick that ended it The run game stayed on schedule with quick hitters. No wasted lateral stretch calls. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs got north and south with decisiveness. Cutback lanes opened and were used. That rhythm mattered late. It set up the final drive that put Bates on the field with the game on his foot. He delivered. The kick split the uprights as the clock hit zero. The Detroit Lions walked out of Chicago with a victory, a sweep of the division winners, and momentum from a plan that fit the personnel. In an NFL season defined by attrition, the Lions adapted, defended space, and found answers at critical positions. From the rival airwaves Pre-game on Chicago radio centered on the Bears, their playoff paths, and even some delight at the Packers getting blasted by the Vikings. Those same voices were stunned when Detroit never played man coverage. They noted the late Chicago adjustment and also flagged Goff's pocket movement. Next week brings Bears vs. Packers. This week belongs to Detroit. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jakebates #aidanhutchisonpressure #chrishubbardrighttackle #peneiruledoutfriday #montezsweatmatchup #zonecoveragecover4 #kelvinshepherddefensivecoordinator #calebwilliamsuncomfortable #amon-rast.brownvscjgardner-johnson #jaredgoffmovement #interioroffensivelinepassprotection #north-southrungame #montyandgibbscutbacklanes #nomancoveragesurprise #game-winningfieldgoalastimeexpired Learn more about your ad choices.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how to stop reacting and learn to start responding. How do you get your adult voice, like Marc talks about in Understanding Your Attachment Style? My parents never modeled it. How do I find connection after my sister was murdered? I’ve thought about suicide and think I should’ve been shot instead of her. I'm almost 60 years old and have such severe anxiety that I think I'm going to be put away; can you give me some direction?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui reminds us that the divisions in our churches are not as God intended. My adult son believes whatever his narcissistic father tells him—should I tell my son the truth? This is my third marriage, and my husband threatens to leave whenever we get into an explosive argument—how do I handle it? Both of my parents tried to kill me; how does this childhood trauma affect me today as an adult?
Peripheral artery disease has been called the ‘silent circulatory crisis'—affecting millions, limiting mobility, and quietly raising the risk of heart attack, stroke, and limb loss. For decades, treatment focused on walking programs, aspirin, and sometimes a stent or bypass. But today, the landscape is changing. From PCSK9 inhibitors that drive cholesterol to record lows, to GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide improving walking distance, to novel antithrombotic strategies that balance bleeding and clotting—PAD care is entering a new era. In this episode, we'll explore the breakthroughs, the evidence behind them, and what they mean for patients who just want to keep moving forward." Hosted by the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery: - Robert Beaulieu, Program Director - Frank Davis, Assistant Professor of Surgery - Luciano Delbono, PGY-5 House Officer - Andrew Huang, PGY-4 House Officer - Carolyn Judge, PGY-2 House Officer Learning objectives: 1. Describe the current evidence-based recommendations for multifactorial medical management of peripheral artery disease (PAD), including lipid, glycemic, and antithrombotic strategies per 2024 SVS/AHA guidelines. 2. Interpret the clinical implications of the FOURIER trial regarding the role of PCSK9 inhibition in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with atherosclerotic disease, including PAD. 3. Evaluate the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide, in improving walking performance and quality of life among patients with diabetic PAD based on findings from the STRIDE trial.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses a few words to use instead of “resolutions” and notes that it's healthy to pause at this time of year to reflect. My daughter was a victim of sex trafficking at 14 years old and ten years later said she was pregnant, but we never saw proof. How can I stop caring so much about my adult daughter? She got involved with a man, ended up in jail, and now she and her son live with us.

How do I handle not being able to share community bread during communion at my new church? I sent my niece's husband to Every Man's Battle a year ago, and he came back a changed man! My wife hasn’t been intimate with me for 5 years; how do I deal with my anger and bitterness in a sexless marriage? Can someone who is a narcissist be truly saved?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky challenges us in the New Year to reduce the amount of time to get out of a bad state of mind with help from Ephesians 4. Should I separate from my husband to overcome my unforgiveness? My husband left a month ago; what can I do if he blames me and doesn’t like confrontation? How can I help my daughter-in-law? My son is a narcissist and verbally abusive to her.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses what it looks like for a parent to let go by offering their children freedom, and he gives the example of Jesus going missing when he was a child in Jerusalem. A few months ago, I realized I'm a covert narcissist, my family had me admitted to a mental health facility, and I threatened suicide; what do I do now? If I receive a blessing from God, but then turn around and don't accept the blessing; do you have any insight into that? I'm a single mom in love with a man in meth recovery, and I struggle with anxious attachment; what can I do? My bipolar nephew and his pregnant wife moved in with my stepmother and me; since it's her house, am I supposed to stand up for her?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri explains cognitive dissonance and why it is essential to take steps to protect and ground yourself after a spouse has betrayed you.

And what can they do themselves?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris shares that he struggles to cry, but every Christmas Eve he gets the gift of tears. Let your tears teach you what is most important and most hopeful in life. Chris also shares that our emotions are a muscle; if his sad muscles get strengthened, then his resiliency for sadness increases. If you live your life to avoid loss, you will also avoid life. What are one or two ways to start trusting God when trusting anyone is difficult or feels impossible? I'm in a new church, and they've said you shouldn't really be in the presence of the opposite sex; how do I not let that throw me off spiritually?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice invites us to turn off our screens to put time and attention into our family. How do I cope with going no contact with my elderly parents for the second time? Their words aren't life-giving. I've been married for two years, and my wife is separated from me because my anxiety is stopping me from living life. Do I tell my teen kids that their mom is a narcissist so they can learn to cope? I struggled with marijuana addiction my whole life until I gave my life to Jesus!
Caller Questions & Discussion: Staying home and being isolated at Christmas? JJ shares what you can do to have joyful holidays. Should I reach out to the other grandmother of my grandson? Her son and my daughter used to date, and their young son is not living with my daughter. My son was raised by my mother as my brother, and he wants to stay with me at Christmas; should I let him? My young teen is being bullied for not using social media—how can I help? What should I do if I've been taking asthma medication that gives me suicidal thoughts?

I have full guardianship of my wife with severe depression and she refuses treatment; how do I cope with feeling stuck after trying everything? What should I do when my marriage has no intimacy and my wife refuses counseling? How can I heal from being estranged from my son and grandchildren for over ten years, even after long-term therapy?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares that asking where God is in your circumstance may not be a question; it may be a protest because you want it to be different (from Dr. John Townsend's book Where Is God?). After getting sober, my young adult son has ignored me, even after he had a baby. Should I pursue a relationship with my half-sisters? My stepfather sexually abused me, and they believe him instead of me. What's the next step for moving forward with my life after my husband left to move to another state? What advice would you give your younger self just starting in counseling? I'm completing my Licensed Professional Counselor requirements this year.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill explains how to cope with road rage and retail rage using the Golden Rule from Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31.

Many of my friends are either dating or married and I'm almost 30yo and single. What can I do to fix myself to stop getting into relationships with women I need to fix?
Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim explains that other people's choices do not define you, so instead of overthinking their actions, focus on loving them where they are. Why am I avoiding travel to see my children and grandchildren? Is it selfishness, or could fatigue, allergies, or other issues be holding me back? After nearly 40yrs of marriage, I've fallen out of love with my husband. He hasn't worked for years and much of our savings is gone. I'm a pastor and was demoted after my church conference questioned the money my church brought in; how do I process this? After electroconvulsive therapy for depression and bipolar disorder, I feel disconnected from my adult sons.
Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses how many of us struggle during the holidays and reminds us that even in a hard season, God is with us. Thank you for praying for my family member, who was struggling with addiction but is now experiencing the holidays sober for the first time! As a single grandmother, how can I talk to my adult children about feeling abandoned during Christmas, even when some of them live nearby? I've been friends with a man for a year, but our relationship has had many ups and downs; should I talk to him about my feelings? How can I set healthy boundaries with my 26-year-old son? He has oppositional disorder and only contacts me to ask for money.

One of the most troubling aspects of cult dynamics is the way they generate self‑reinforcing histories that can become chaotic and fragmented, leaving individuals disoriented within the broader narrative. We need knowledgeable guides who can help us navigate these stories while providing a grounding in their historical context. I wrote Chapter Three of my book, The Cult of Trump, about the parallels with Jones, Moon, and Hubbard. Don Lattin, this week's podcast guest, concurred, though he personally likened Trump more closely in his mind to Jim Jones, whose leadership culminated in the historic tragedy at Jonestown. Lattin is a long-established and award-winning religion reporter. His work has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Both of us agreed that Trump exhibits traits of malignant narcissism and appears to be steering the United States toward escalating threats and harms. The MAGA movement itself is a cult, is led by cults, and has demented authoritarian leadership written all over it. Don Lattin is a journalist who has specialized in writing about religions, cults, psychedelic history, cultural norms, and other fascinating topics since the 1970s. He's written seven books, including Jesus Freaks – a True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge and Changing Our Minds: Psychedelic Sacraments and the New Psychotherapy. He is also the author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America. I had the great pleasure of listening to his Substack channel recently and am honored to bring him on for an episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion. Learn more about your ad choices.

Caller Questions & More: Marc explains that codependency is the belief, “I need you to be okay so that I can be okay.” My husband wants me to apologize for accusing him of having an affair because of a text I saw. Should I confront him or let it go? What's the best way to balance being a pastor with attending all the sporting events my five sons and twelve grandkids want me to go to? I'm almost 84 and have struggled with long-term depression, especially after my husband of nearly 64 years passed away. I feel like my prayers are awkward by myself, and I'd like to pray with my husband; any thoughts on how we can change that?
The Choice That Changes Everything | Jay Hubbard | City Light Church by Jabin Chavez
Caller Questions & More: Dr. Jim discusses the Toxic Family Test and how it can reveal patterns in your family of origin.

Send us a textA ship. A hotel turned school. A childhood taught to keep secrets. Pamela Nicole Williams joins us to trace a rare, ground-level history of Scientology—from her parents' early work around Hubbard in D.C. and training at St. Hill to life aboard the Royal Scotman before the Sea Org took full shape. Her memoir, Clearly Lies Are True, threads vivid scenes with careful research to show how a movement's promises filtered into family routines, language, and choices that shaped a child's sense of safety.We explore the practices that defined those years: touch assists, TRs, personality tests, and the sales script built around “ruins.” Pamela explains how teens get “voluntold” into service, why labels like suppressive person keep people in line, and how sincere belief can coexist with control and abuse. She brings us into the moment repressed memories resurfaced—what it means to question your own mind, how secrecy trained in a high-control group amplifies silence, and why naming sexual abuse is both terrifying and liberating. Along the way, we connect personal timelines to Scientology milestones: early clears, St. Hill culture, the Royal Scotman's shortages, and the pivot to the Sea Org.This is also a story about repair. Pamela shares how writing became a tool for healing, how she told her adult daughters the truth to break generational silence, and why forgiveness—without forgetting—was the only way out of lifelong anger. We talk practical support too: she donates a portion of book proceeds to the Aftermath Foundation to help people who leave Scientology rebuild with housing, jobs, and community. If you care about cult recovery, childhood trauma, or the mechanics of indoctrination, you'll find hard truths, clear language, and real hope here.Listen, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.
