What if your healthcare choices could align with both your family’s budget and your faith? In an era where medical bills climb higher and insurance offers less, Christian parents are left searching for answers. In this eye-opening episode, Catherine sits down with Dr. Ian Day, a practicing physician of more than 25 years and the Chief Medical Officer of Medishare, to explore a radical, Christ-centered alternative to traditional healthcare. Healthcare is one of the greatest stressors for families today—unexpected bills, confusing coverage, and ethical compromises have made many believers feel helpless. But what if there was another way? What if solutions from the early church could provide both practical relief and spiritual support? Medishare is a not-for-profit healthcare sharing ministry, bringing Christians together to share medical bills and bear one another's burdens—both physical and spiritual. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Healthcare Sharing Ministries Demystified: Dr. Day explains the mission behind Medishare, how Christian care ministry works, and why it’s more than just a “healthcare product”—it’s a biblical community modeled on Acts 2 and 4, where believers share both financial and spiritual burdens. What is Biblical Wellness? Discover Dr. Day’s holistic approach to wellness—caring for body, mind, and spirit—and learn how Medishare members are encouraged to prioritize spiritual health right alongside physical and emotional well-being. The True Causes Behind Skyrocketing Costs: Dr. Day breaks down exactly why premiums, deductibles, and medical expenses are spiraling, from prescription costs and hospital consolidation to administrative complexity and the lingering effects of the pandemic. Practical Solutions for Christian Households: Listeners get actionable advice on navigating the coming years, including the role of telemedicine, the importance of stewardship and lifestyle choices, and crucial tips for evaluating healthcare sharing ministries. Values-Driven Coverage: Catherine and Dr. Day wrestle openly with the ethical dilemmas of traditional insurance—funding procedures that oppose biblical beliefs—and celebrate Medishare’s commitment to supporting adoption, maternity, and life-affirming care while excluding services contrary to Christian values. Real Hope, Real Stories: Dr. Day shares moving examples of families whose lives were transformed by Medishare’s practical support, long-term care, and prayerful partnership—highlighting the difference a faith-based approach can make in life’s hardest moments. If you’ve ever wondered why your insurance seems to cover less and cost more—or questioned if your family’s healthcare can truly reflect your faith and values—this episode delivers understanding, clarity, and hope. Catherine closes with a reminder that believers are called to be the answer in a broken world, echoing the early church’s radical love and practical care. Why This Matters: As Catherine puts it, “For all the broken systems in our world, the church needs to be the answer. Believers need to be the answer.” If you’re a Christian parent wrestling with big questions about stewardship, wellness, and truly living your faith in every aspect of life—including those daunting healthcare decisions—this episode will both equip and encourage you. Parenting Takeaway: What steps can you take to model biblical stewardship, community support, and faith-driven discernment in how your family approaches healthcare—body, mind, and spirit? Meet the Guest: Dr. Ian Day is a dedicated leader in faith-based healthcare. Through Medi-Share, Dr. Day has championed a unique model where Christians come together to share medical bills and support each other spiritually, all in alignment with biblical values.

The challenges of overseas missionary work are not just difficult for those who are on the field. Struggles and emotional battles can happen to those who are left on the home front, as well! This is the reality that Ann Bowman faced when her adult children (one married with children) moved to foreign countries to provide medical assistance in areas that desperately needed it. Ann is the author of I Never Signed Up For This: One Mother's Journey to Surrender Her Children to Their Calling. She lends valuable insight into what it's like to let go and let God. Ann also discusses the challenges that missionary families experience when their parents or loved ones fail to support them in their difficult endeavors serving the Lord. She says this is one of the biggest issues missionaries face. Supporting them is so important! “Consider God's plan, instead of your plan,” says Ann.TAKEAWAYSTCK refers to ‘third culture kids,' or kids who are born in the country of their parents' passports and then raised in a different countryThere may not be as much stability in a missionary field as in the corporate world, but God's work takes priorityIt's important to go through the grieving process, but also be supportive when family moves away to serve the LordThere is great excitement as well as great hardship in serving overseas and it's important the church supports all people involved

“Four essential elements of Biblical manhood are joy, community, accountability, and identity,” says Alan Hahn, the founder and CEO of Iron Academy, a private, all-male Christian school for boys ages 6-12. Alan's school focuses on forging these boys into the men God created them to be by teaching them essential life skills, such as leadership, and by providing rites of passage that strengthen their sense of healthy masculinity. He discusses the use of thriving spiritual formation, helpful correction, and joyful discipleship in a loving and trusted environment - elements that cultivate a young man's identity and challenge him to work harder and achieve more. In a society that is starving for the truth, Christian men can be a countercultural light in the darkness by becoming all that God created them to be. TAKEAWAYSMen and fathers of all ages can learn from Alan's book, The Iron Academy: Forging Young Men Who Fight For The KingSpiritual formation does not happen without healthy shame or positive correctionA rite of passage requires separation from ‘normal' life and the administration of some kind of testLeadership training is a key element of forging young boys into men
In this episode, we dive into a powerful conversation with Cindy LaJoy of Blue Collar Homeschool about creating meaningful educational paths for kids who aren't headed toward the traditional college track. Cindy shares how to help children discover their strengths, explore careers and trades, and build skills that get overlooked in traditional schooling. From certificate programs to apprenticeships, she shows how learning can be tailored without being “less than.” We also discuss the importance of relationship at the heart of homeschooling and celebrating every kind of excellence. This episode is full of practical ideas and encouragement for parents seeking alternatives to the college-only path. About Cindy An unexpected homeschooler, after a dozen years Cindy is entering her final year of homeschooling with her youngest of five kids. Her children, now young adults, were all adopted from orphanages in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and presented her with the unique challenge of educating learners with numerous learning disabilities, no English, and giftedness in the mix as well!

College is not the only path to a successful future, and Cindy's kids are proving that as they operate their own pizzeria and tech businesses. Her online group has grown to a membership of almost 9000 and is a haven where families with kids who are not college-bound can post questions to find resources for everything from business start-ups to barn building to creative arts pursuits...and not be bashed for having children whose gifts may be discovered outside the academic arena.
