We journey with Chris Morris as he candidly shares his lifelong battle with depression, suicidal thoughts, and the restorative process of faith and community. He draws out practical wisdom for both those who struggle with mental health and the people who walk alongside them.Chris Morris opens up about his initial encounters with God during his teenage years amid deep depression and a suicidal crisis. Despite not being raised in a Christian home, he experienced a life-changing introduction to faith through a neighbor's invitation. However, contrary to many “testimonies” often heard in church that promise total healing, his struggle with mental health did not vanish after conversion. Fast forward 30 years, he found himself in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt, feeling unworthy and broken.In the depths of crisis, Chris Morris shares a pivotal moment when he sensed God telling him, “Chris, I still love you.” Initially, he argued with this gentle assurance, convinced he wasn't worthy of love. Over time, however, this truth took root: if God still saw value in him at his lowest, perhaps his own self-perception was deeply flawed.A recurring theme is the negative impact of judgmental or dismissive church environments. Chris recounts how a pastor once told him, “Man up and pray more,” reinforcing guilt and isolation. In contrast, his current church responded with compassion and affirmation, restoring his hope and sense of belonging. He highlights the critical role of the “ministry of presence”—simply being with someone in their pain, without trying to fix them or offer platitudes. Support is less about having answers and more about empathy, presence, and genuine curiosity. Being a safe, nonjudgmental companion can offer hope and healing.Chris shares practical tools for managing destructive thought patterns, such as asking reflective questions: Is this thought necessarily true? What else might be true? What should I do in response? What might God be doing right now? These questions help reframe negative self-talk and encourage a posture of grace toward oneself. Learning to question and reframe harmful thoughts is vital. Spiritual and emotional health often require new skills and intentional practice.Chris describes how his journey to recovery involved rebuilding trust with family, especially after broken promises and repeated crises. Openness, accountability, and continued professional help were essential, not just for himself but to reassure and support his loved ones. Restoration is gradual and requires honesty, humility, and consistent effort. Loved ones can support, but are not responsible for, someone's mental health recovery.Key Takeaways:·         Struggling with mental health does not mean a lack of faith or spiritual immaturity.·         Community and empathetic support play a crucial role in recovery.·         God's love and acceptance are not dependent on our success or failure.·         Healing may require therapy, medication, and time.·         The church is called to be a place of presence, grace, and hope for all who struggle.Challenge: Consider how you can offer the ministry of presence and curiosity to someone around you, and reflect on how God's love remains steadfast regardless of life's valleys.MORE ABOUT CHRIS MORRISChris Morris writes, “Welcome to my Christian mental health website. This is a safe place for followers of Jesus dealing with depression, anxiety, and every mental illness under the sun. If you've asked yourself, “if I'm a Christian, why am I depressed?“ or, “where is God when my life is falling apart?“, or “How do I overcome depression biblically“, you're in the right place. Everything here is written as Christian help for those in the mental illness community as we redefine normal and rediscover hope together. Let's talk about these two things for just a moment. What does it mean to redefine normal? It means that nobody but you gets to tell you what's normal and what's abnormal. You are the arbiter of your own life, and you get to decide that.For you, maybe a normal day is not getting out of bed until noon because of chronic pain, and having to carefully calculate where you spend your limited energy. If so, I honor your normal here. How about rediscovering hope? So many of us struggle to fell there's any objective reason for hope in our lives, because, to be honest, our lives stink a lot of the time. It's full of difficulty and complexity, hard conversations and unmet expectations. But we can find the keys to having hope despite all these setbacks. I spend a lot of time talking the nuts and bolts of hope from a biblical perspective, so it's more tangible, meaningful, and applicable to real life.”More at https://www.chrismorriswrites.com/ MORE ABOUT THE BOOK, “RESILIENT AND REDEEMED”You Are Not Alone, Regardless of Any Mental Health DiagnosisGod cares deeply about you and your mental health. Author and mental health advocate Chris Morris has battled depression and suicidality his entire adult life. Even coming to Christ didn't change this, which is something many fellow Christians don't seem to understand. He still had to face the grief of unrelenting illness, the shame of struggling, and the pain of poor guidance.In this compassionate and engaging book, Chris shares how he overcame these challenges and invites you to do the same--no matter your diagnosis. Weaving biblical truth and personal stories with thoughtful strategies and hard-earned wisdom, he helps you move past fear and shame to combat the specters of depression and suicidality.God is still there, even in the darkest of places. May this book be a step in the process of healing and help you find hope in your battle.Includes reflection questions, Scripture meditations, and a bonus video course.More at https://www.chrismorriswrites.com/books/resilient-and-redeemed-lessons-about-suicidality-and-depression-from-the-psych-ward/ Bonjour!

Kay-Alana Turner's episodes first aired in November 2023. On March 8, 2023, 27-year-old Kay-Alana Turner stayed overnight at a friend's home in Silsbee, Texas. Her friend noticed that Kay-Alana hadn't been sleeping well and that something appeared to be troubling her. The following morning, Kay-Alana was believed to be asleep when her friend left for work, but as the day wore on, attempts to contact her raised concern. When Kay-Alana was briefly reached by phone, something didn't seem right, and no one knew where she was. Loved ones later learned that Kay-Alana had planned to drive to Austin, about four hours away. Her loved ones began searching for her, but by the next morning, troubling reports about her behavior began to surface. These were accounts her family and friends felt were completely out of character. What was clear was that Kay-Alana was missing, and they needed to find her.On April 19, 2024, after more than a year of searching, Kay-Alana Turner's remains were found by Texas Equusearch in Montgomery County, Texas, less than 1,000 feet from where her car had been abandoned on March 10, 2023. She was positively identified through dental records. Due to the condition of her remains, the medical examiner ruled the cause of death as undetermined, with the manner classified as accidental, noting no evidence of foul play.In the months that followed, body camera footage from Kay-Alana's initial encounter with Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies was released, sparking concern and controversy. In the footage, deputies were heard making joking and disparaging remarks about Kay-Alana, including comments about her appearance after viewing her identification. The footage intensified scrutiny of the response to Kay-Alana on the day she disappeared and raised broader questions about how law enforcement handles encounters involving individuals experiencing medical or mental health crises.Kay-Alana Turner was laid to rest in November 2024. Her family continues to seek accountability and hopes her story leads to meaningful change, believing that compassion and understanding could have made a critical difference that day.Photo Credit: James Blaign RamboIf you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The journey of entrepreneurship can often feel at odds with the realities of living with chronic illness, particularly when it comes to the concept of capacity. In this episode, we tackle the often-misunderstood idea of capacity, shifting the narrative from a relentless push for more to a compassionate understanding of what we can realistically manage. Capacity isn't just about productivity; it's about how much our bodies and minds can handle at any given moment, especially when faced with the unpredictable nature of chronic health issues. We explore the three primary forms of capacity that influence our entrepreneurial experience: emotional, cognitive, and energetic. Emotional capacity is crucial for handling the stress of marketing and visibility, particularly for those of us who may struggle with the expectations of always being “on.” Cognitive capacity reflects our ability to think and make decisions, which can be severely impacted by the demands of content creation and the fast-paced nature of social media. Lastly, energetic capacity speaks to the physical and sensory energy we can muster, which is often the most variable due to chronic health conditions. This episode emphasizes the importance of creating business systems that align with our current capacity rather than pushing us to meet unrealistic expectations. By focusing on long-form content, such as podcasting, we can share our stories and connect with our audience without the stress of constant output. The key takeaway is that our capacity is not the enemy; instead, it's our perceptions and business practices that need to adapt to honor our humanity. This understanding fosters a more sustainable approach to entrepreneurship, allowing us to thrive not despite our chronic illnesses but alongside them.Takeaways:Understanding capacity in business is not about doing more, but about what your nervous system can handle.Marketing strategies need to reflect the reality of fluctuating capacities, especially for those with chronic illnesses.Creating a business model that honors your humanity can lead to sustainable success without burnout.Podcasting serves as a capacity-aware marketing tool, reducing stress while allowing for authentic connection.✨ Thank you for listening.Here's how to connect with Nikita, your host:→ Book A Sales Call Here→ Grab your Free Curated Podcast for Business Growth Playlist→ Grab the Podcast Planner + App to start and grow your podcast with ease.→ Grab Your Free 5-Day Private Podcast Series to Help You Make Sales with Ease with Long-Form Content and Nervous-System-Friendly Marketing Strategies for Women with Chronic Illness & Burnt-Out Entrepreneurs.⭐ Loved this episode?

In this heartfelt episode of The Radio Medium Laura Lee Show, Laura Lee connects with Francis from Texas for a profound spirit reading focused on family unity, divine confirmation, and the blessing of new life. Loved ones from the spirit world step forward immediately — including Francis's mother and aunt, both sharing the same name — to remind her that she is never alone and always supported from the other side. Spirit delivers striking validation through the presence of St. Francis, confirmed by a recently gifted pendant and family prayer traditions. The message then turns to an upcoming birth within the family, revealing unseen struggles and emphasizing the importance of compassion, support, and unity rather than division. With powerful confirmation through a child named after a loved one in spirit, this episode highlights how spirit guides families toward healing, understanding, and love during moments of transition. This reading is a reminder that children are blessings, family is sacred, and loved ones in spirit see the bigger picture — even when we cannot.

When you're teaching storytelling with students, do your lessons feel kind of…random?I used to feel like this a lot when I was a school SLP, so if you've ever had a “throw spaghetti at the wall” therapy session that felt all over the place, I get it.The truth is, repetition and drill is not the enemy. If you ONLY focus on unstructured activities, you're probably seeing students getting overwhelmed, not remembering to apply important language skills (like syntax, vocabulary words, etc). But if you ONLY stick with structured activities, kids never get the chance to apply and practice. That's why leveraging books and story grammar as part of your “therapy toolkit” can be such a powerful tool to bridge this gap…even though many storytelling activities look like simple “cutesy” activities on the surface.(and if you understand the “why” it's much easier to apply for older kids who are kind of over coming to therapy). In this second half of my interview with my colleague Jane Gebers, we talk about how to use tools like dynamic assessment and narrative intervention to make therapy structured, rigorous, and functional. Jane L. Gebers is the author of the popular resource, Books Are for Talking, Too!, first published in 1990, and now in its 4th edition as of March 2023. A practicing speech-language pathologist for over 40 years, she has worked in public school, hospital, private, and clinical settings. She has been an adjunct professor at St. Mary's College of California and other universities where she taught Language Development, Assessment, and Intervention courses to students pursuing special education credentials. She currently holds a private practice in Northern California.You can connect with Jane on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-l-gebers-53856119/Email her at jane@soundingyourbest.comLearn more about her book, Books Are For Talking, Too! here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2SG8J58?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_RR4P3SB19A92WD6FPD3RLearn more about her storytelling resources and speech therapy services on her website here: http://soundingyourbest.com/In this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

Grit isn't it. You need joy in community. In this second half of our Disneyland conversation, we shift from rides and rain ponchos to something deeper: how community and belonging make joy stick when life is brutal. My friends and I talk about what it really looks like to have people who've got your back—through job changes, grief, divorce, parenting, and the everyday “I cannot do one more hard thing” moments. From a weekly group that's met for 15 years, to long-distance friendships sustained by Marco Polo, to a monthly “Food Club” that became a lifeline, we unpack how joy and resilience are built together, not alone. We also dig into: why saying “yes” to embodied, in-person time changes your brain, why most adults stop marking milestones (and why that's a problem), how the gap and the gain framework helps leaders see how far they've come, and why celebrating after hard things isn't denial—it's evidence that you're still here and still growing. Here's What's in the Episode: Community is resilience infrastructure, not a bonus. Joy and resilience go hand-in-hand when you have people who will listen, pray, problem-solve, or just sit with you so you can take the next step instead of staying stuck. Belonging doesn't magically appear—you build it. “Everybody wants the village, but nobody wants to be a villager.” Showing up, checking in, hosting, inviting, and going first are how leaders create real community in life and at work. Embodied time together literally changes how you feel. Moving from “once-a-year girls' trip” to more frequent in-person time deepened connection and created a rooted sense of belonging—what your team also needs, beyond Slack and email. Celebration marks the gain, not just the goal. Using the gap and the gain idea, we talk about how consciously looking back at what you've survived and accomplished builds self-efficacy, confidence, and courage for the next hard thing. Most meaningful wins are a group sport. Writing a book is solitary, but finishing and celebrating it isn't. Leadership works the same way—you may carry the title, but you don't carry the load alone (or at least, you shouldn't). Key Takeaway Joy and resilience aren't solo acts — leaders thrive when they build and lean on real community.

Sign up for FREE COACHING with Alli – https://alliworthington.com/freecoaching    Today, I want to share Chapter 4 of Fierce Faith: "What If They Don't Like Me?" I open up about my own rejection stories and the everyday ways fear of rejection shapes our choices. It's a fear we rarely talk about, but it shadows much of what we do.   Think about it—whether we post that picture we're proud of, share a new dream with our spouse, or open up to a new friend, fear is right there, whispering doubts. And most of us don't even realize how much power we've handed it.   My prayer is that this chapter helps you recognize and release the fear of rejection, so you can step into 2026 with hope, holy confidence, and courage, embracing your authentic self.   Timestamps: (06:13) - How Rejection Steals Our Joy (and Why We Don't Notice It Happening) (10:35) - Everyday Rejections: The Subtle Moments That Shape Our Confidence (16:29) - The Ultimate Rejection (21:06) - A Battle Plan to Fight the Fear of Rejection with Strength and Clarity (25:20) -How to Recover When We Feel Rejected and Come Back Stronger WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!

What would the world be like if we viewed everyone as our neighbors?  And, what if we truly loved our neighbors as we love ourselves?Main Points:1. Our relationship with God is inseparable from our relationships to the people in our lives.  We can't be in a love relationship with God and not act in love towards other people.  This is what Jesus calls the greatest commandments:  love God, and because you love God – you will love people.2. Sometimes you may not feel like loving someone. You may not feel any sympathy or compassion. We demonstrate our love for God when we love others with our actions, regardless of our feelings.  God will often provide the love we need to feel when we act before we feel.  What would I do, if I did have appropriate? feelings toward them? 3. Let's ask this important question: What kind of neighbor am I? Listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit and let God direct you to be a neighbor to someone in need.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 22:37-39 - “Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”John 13:35 - “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Some hauntings announce themselves with screams, shadows, and slammed doors. But others begin far more quietly—with a shift in the room, a breath on the skin, a whisper no one else hears. For her, the haunting didn't wait for adulthood or trauma or tragedy. It began in childhood, and grew with her, following her across state lines, across homes, across seasons of life. When she became a mother, everything intensified. The touches that once woke only her began reaching toward her daughter. Whispers deepened into mimicry. Toys moved on their own. Loved ones finally started witnessing what she'd hidden for years. And at the center of it all was a presence that watched, waited, and escalated. But nothing prepared her for the night the faceless boy stepped into her bedroom doorway. Some hauntings don't fade when you move… and some entities don't reveal themselves until they're ready to be seen. #TrueGhostStory #FacelessApparition #ParanormalEncounter #ShadowFigure #HauntedMotherhood #SupernaturalExperience #DarkEntity #UnexplainedPhenomena #CreepyStories Love real ghost stories?
