In this week's story time, Summer tells the story of the ancient mystics that chose to brick themselves in cells, until death do they part from their bricks. The most famous anchoress, Julian of Norwich, is widely considered the first published female author in the English language. She may also have been the first feminist cat lady. Tune in! The post Medieval Mystics Behind Bricks appeared first on Sheologians.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim talks about creating a media-safe home. Is technology use, especially social media, bringing your family closer together or farther apart? I have two estranged adult kids. I set some boundaries and now I can't see my grandkids. Should I try to make amends with them? My fiancée's brother is a drug and alcohol abuser, he is in and out of rehab and won't get help for his mental issues. His mother enables him; how can my fiancée talk to her about it? Recently my wife left me while I was out of the country and served me with divorce papers. In the past I betrayed her and went to Every Man's Battle; is it too late to pursue her to reconsider the divorce? Is there hope for my daughter to cope with her verbally abusive ex on a court-appointed parenting app? The app isn't monitored, so he just says whatever he wants, and she has constant PTSD from his abuse.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui encourages us that it’s not too late to start over again when you’re older. Some of the teachings in our new church make me uneasy and anxious; my 20-year-old daughter is dating the pastor’s son. Is my issue with the church or with me letting go of my daughter? How does one move from shame and guilt over past mistakes? How do I accept my 5-month separation that may be headed to divorce? We have only been married four years. I had childhood abuse, and my wife was bounced between 40 foster homes in her youth. Would counseling or coaching be the better fit for parents of an adult child who is neurodivergent?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. John discusses the three programs at Townsend Institute for Leadership and Counseling. A 19-year-old boy from my youth group has lived with me for four years, along with other kids. He is extremely traumatized and shut down after witnessing his grandfather murdered by his dad; how can I break through to him? My wife has invited some of her family to live with us and it’s cramped and not what I agreed to. I know God hates divorce; what do I do? My young teen grandson is viewing porn and his sister is sexting. We will be visiting next week and taking care of them; how can we help them? I am in my 70s, live alone in a motor home, and have lost everything precious to me, including my daughter dying of a fentanyl overdose and my dog who was accidentally killed. How do I deal with my grieving?

Principle of the Bondservant: Kingdom Activation of Remnant Ministries Series Part 2 | KIB536 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing   Description The Bondservant: The Missing Foundation of End-Time Ministry In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue laying the foundation for authentic remnant ministry in the last days. Before God can release believers into greater Kingdom assignments, foundational issues must be addressed—including healing from rejection, overcoming feelings of worthlessness, understanding our identity in Christ, and embracing the biblical principle of the bondservant. Mary Lou shares deeply personal insights regarding healing from trauma, overcoming lies spoken over her life, and discovering her true worth through the Word of God. She provides practical biblical keys for breaking free from rejection, shame, and fear of man. Dr. Lake then explores the often-forgotten biblical concept of the bondservant, revealing why every genuine ministry calling must begin with complete surrender to Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he explains the accountability believers have before God, the dangers of self-centered ministry, and why the remnant must remain faithful to the voice of the Master rather than the pressures of culture. As the days ahead grow increasingly challenging, God is preparing a people who know their identity, understand their authority, and are committed to serving King Jesus above all else. This message is essential for anyone seeking to walk faithfully with God, overcome past wounds, and prepare for Kingdom service in the days ahead.

This week Joy tells the unbelievable true story of a man who survives something none of us can truly imagine. You've probably seen the viral photo of this man who was found, taken by the diver who found him. The diver was there to recover dead bodies; instead, Harrison Okeene was alive, and had been alive underwater for three whole days. What comes after this tale requires a suspension of disbelief but is one hundred percent true. Join us! The post What Scares Harrison Okeene? appeared first on Sheologians.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares about Father's Day and estranged children. Ask yourself, “Can I accept who the other person is and not who I would like them to be, and can I make that first move towards peace?” I was estranged from my 22-year-old son for over 2 years, and now we're reconciled. Don't give up–pray! I moved back to help my elderly dad who has cancer. I haven't spoken to my brother in years; what can I do to get us back together? After prison and living in a sober living house, I have been sober for over a year. How can I begin to repair things with my partner? He has been so supportive but has huge trust issues. I've tried to set a boundary by asking for a separation, and my emotionally abusive husband said if I don't like it, file for divorce. What should I do as a Christian?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri shares that her mother recently got an infection after surgery, and a nurse recognized her and shared that she had been listening to New Life for 30 years! It was an answer to prayer for God to send someone to take care of her mom. Should I give my friend more time to reconcile with her daughter? She set boundaries in their relationship because she felt their conversations always centered on her daughter’s views about her father or God. I've had a neighbor harassing me for 17 years. I moved away and now rent out the property, but the harassment continues. How do I handle ongoing conflict and protect my peace? I've struggled with pornography addiction since I was a teenager, and I’m tired of hurting my wife the last 17 years. What are the next steps?

We're joined by Claudia McAdam, talks about her children's book, St. Paul's Nephew to the Rescue. Val Browning with Kolbe Prison Ministries, updates us. James Behan, associate director for young adult ministry and associate director for marriage and family life in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, talks about summer activities.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses the book of Habakkuk and trusting God’s timing. God often takes longer than we expect, but He is never late. My 28-year-old daughter and husband have both been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. They spend so much time on their screens. How do I know when their mental health struggles are legitimate concerns versus excuses for excessive screen time? I just found out that my daughter was sexually abused as a child by my son. My other daughter told me about it. How do I support my daughter, address family trauma, and begin the healing process? I’ve been in a dating relationship for 7 years. I don’t like him having dinner with a former female coworker every other month; am I being too sensitive or is it a legitimate concern?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses how she just went to the optometrist for a new prescription, and it reminded her of change. The optometrist said not to switch back to old glasses. If you're not seeing things clearly, it's worth doing things you might not feel comfortable with to get to the other side. Why do I feel guilty to divorce my husband of 8 years who has a newborn baby with another woman? We’re leaders in our church. A couple in my church just discovered their 14-year-old son wrote a book about sexual assault, and they're very concerned. What can this couple do next? My ex-husband lied to the church about me and said I was the problem. Even my pastor thought I was making up things about him.

Send us Fan MailREPLAY OF THE FIRST FWM PODCASTIn this episode of the Finishing Well Podcast, Dr. Hal Habecker and Dr. Randy Hess revisit the very first episode of the show, originally recorded in December 2020. The episode opens with Dr. Habecker expressing his deep desire for older generations—parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents—to be active encouragers and mentors to younger generations. He emphasizes the importance of older adults pouring their wisdom, experiences, and love into their families and communities, highlighting the biblical value placed on elders.The hosts discuss the mission of Finishing Well Ministries, which is to inspire and equip believers of all ages, especially those in their later years, to live purposefully and finish their lives well in service to God. Dr. Habecker shares his personal journey from pastoring at Dallas Bible Church to founding the ministry, motivated by a passion to counter cultural and even church-based tendencies to marginalize older adults. He points out that, contrary to societal views that equate retirement with the end of productivity, Scripture consistently affirms the ongoing value and purpose of older people.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Habecker and Dr. Hess reflect on biblical examples of impactful aging, such as Moses, Joshua, and the apostle John, who accomplished significant work in their later years. They reference key scriptures like Ephesians 2:10 and Psalm 90:12, underscoring that God's purpose for each person does not diminish with age. Instead, the wisdom and experiences accumulated over a lifetime are meant to be shared, especially with younger generations, to build up the church and community.Dr. Hess shares his initial intrigue and eventual conviction about the ministry's vision, noting that many seniors wrestle with questions of purpose after retirement. He observes that while society often promotes leisure and self-indulgence as the goals of aging, true fulfillment comes from discovering and living out God's ongoing calling. The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how they can continue to serve, mentor, and make a difference, regardless of age.The episode concludes with a call to action for older adults to embrace their God-given roles as encouragers and mentors, and for all listeners to pursue a life of purpose and impact. The hosts invite feedback and continued engagement with the podcast, reinforcing the message that the later years can be the most fruitful and meaningful season of life when lived in alignment with God's purposes.Support the show"Finishing Well Ministries aims to encourage and inspire aging Christians to understand and embrace God's calling in their later years, equipping them to actively pursue and fulfill His calling.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses a time when her husband was younger and took psychedelics and experienced demonic activity, then she shares more about her newest book, 100 Days of Biblical Family Engagement. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life, and it’s getting worse; how can I become free so I don’t pass my anxiety onto my kids? There are times when I feel like no one cares; is there any way I can overcome these negative thoughts? Does the Bible say anything about having a premonition about your death? My son talked about dying, and then he died ten days later in an accident. I was the paramedic on the scene and was so traumatized that I can't even remember his funeral. How can I heal from this grief and trauma?

Are you in the middle of grief? Or do you know someone who is? Maybe you or your friend are walking through something hard and you wish you had something that could help. I have a resource that I would like to share with you. My friend, Lisa Appelo, wrote a book called *God of Comfort. It is a devotional journal for the grieving heart. Each devotional is on a different character attribute of God. This is the book I wish I had when I was going through my grief. You definitely want to hear the words of wisdom from Lisa! Also, I am so excited for someone to win a copy of Lisa's new book, *God of Comfort. All the details of the book giveaway are on my website at jodisnowdon.com or you can click this direct link: https://kingsumo.com/g/19wgvpm/god-of-comfort-giveaway It is fun to have Lisa back on my Podcast! If you missed my first conversation with Lisa about her book, *Countdown to Christmas, please check out Episode 12 on the Depth podcast.  I love what she shares about this advent book as well as what she shares about grief. Lisa was on my podcast a second time to highlight her book, *Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After It All Falls Apart. I love that she shares that God took the broken pieces of her life and as she entrusted them to God, He reshaped what was shattered. There is so much hope and encouragement in this episode, and I cannot wait for you to learn from her. Link to Hope in Grief website: a space for those grieving to find Gospel Hope. Book Recommendations: *Hinds Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard *No More Faking Fine by Esther Fleece Allen *Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy by Mark Vroegop (Listen to Depth Podcast Episode 219 to learn more about lament.) Lisa Appelo is a speaker and multi-book author of *Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After It All Falls Apart. and the new devotional, *God of Comfort, which releases in June. Her ministry began after she suddenly became a widow and single mom to her 7 children, who were 4 to 19 years old. As God walked her through grief, He gave her a new compassion to help others find hope in grief and deepen their faith in life's storms. She's been featured at LIFE Today, Cornerstone Television Network, Insight for Living, Ann Voskamp, Proverbs 31 Ministries, and Risen Motherhood. A former litigating attorney, Lisa writes at LisaAppelo.com, is a leader with the national organization Never Alone Widows, and serves on the Executive Team of COMPEL, part of Proverbs 31 Ministries.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky talks about how to move out of the state of denial. When we stay in denial, we discount what God has done and what He is going to do. Lamentations 3:22-23 is a great truth to hold on to. I have had depression since childhood because my mom committed suicide when I was 12. Even though I see a counselor, I don't have any relief because I look around and see people with parents, but my mom is gone. I've struggled with porn since I was exposed as a child. My wife knew about it, but we didn't talk about it at length. It was revealed again weeks ago and my wife was crushed. Where do we go from here? How do I get unstuck when my wife and son live in another part of the country, my mom and dad have passed, and my brother committed suicide 4 years ago? My husband devastated me by saying he wasn't in love with me.

Caller Questions & Discussion: In today's world, with so many voices, Becky asks: who are we believing? Let's go to God's Word first and believe what we read. My dad gets angry with my mom when she doesn't spend time with him during our trips to Europe to visit my mom's family. Is there anything I can do? Should I confront my husband if he lied to my 21-year-old daughter after she asked him if he had ever been unfaithful? I'm 57 and married to a wife I love, but I'm in a sexless marriage. While I'm grieving this, it's incredibly difficult.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares about her newest book 100 Days of Biblical Family Engagement and the power of reading the Bible together as a family—how it can draw us closer to God and strengthen relationships at home. How do I navigate heavy emotions while struggling with infertility? My husband had an affair during our separation, and we both acted out sexually. Now we're trying to heal while facing infertility. My husband had a stroke, and I need to work full time. I was recently terminated after 9 years with my company. How do I move forward at 70 years old when I feel rejected and overwhelmed? My daughter won't let me see my 10-year-old granddaughter. I don't know what I did. What can I do when faced with family estrangement after losing my husband and my son?

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares that when you “delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). God places His desires within you and brings them to fruition in His timing. I just attended Every Man's Battle, and my biggest takeaway is that I need to connect with God, myself, and other people. One practical way I'm doing that is through journaling. My therapist asked me to send her screenshots of some songs I've written, and she said she could use AI to help complete them. Should I share unfinished personal work? Why would she want AI to finish something for me? In 2023, I attended Every Man's Battle because my fiancée confronted me. I’m from Guyana and so grateful. How does God view my ex-husband? During a very difficult season 6 years ago, he had an affair, eventually married the woman he was involved with, and they're very happy. I was married for nearly 20 years and have been divorced for two years. I discovered that my ex-husband behaved inappropriately with my young niece, and now he has remarried. Should I warn his new wife?

This week we answer listener questions about overcoming physical setbacks in order to fulfill our duties as wives and mothers. What can you do to prepare your body for the work of motherhood, even if you've had a particularly rough go of it (or just a normally rough time)? Join us!

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares that June is Men's Health Month, highlighting how many common myths can prevent men from seeking help for mental health challenges, emotional health struggles, and relational issues that deeply impact families. My friend told me that my husband might be a narcissist. He likes to be left alone, doesn't do much with the kids, and likes to keep stuff even though we don't have room. Is he a narcissist? I just found out that my husband took our daughter into a crack house when she was 7 or 8 and allowed her to be sexually abused. How can I approach my daughter 30 years after this happened? My stepson moved to live with his girlfriend in Spokane, and he won't speak to the family anymore. Where do I go with this? How am I able to move forward if my husband had a child with another woman? He cheated 2 months before we got married!

Fear often tries to convince us that we are alone, unprepared, or unable to overcome the challenges before us. In The Fear Antidote (Part 2), we learn that God's presence is the greatest source of strength and confidence in every season of life.When fear knocks at the door of our hearts, faith reminds us that God is in control. His promises are greater than our circumstances, and His power is stronger than any obstacle we may face.The more we focus on God's truth, the less influence fear has over our thoughts and decisions. Through prayer, worship, and meditating on His Word, we develop a heart that trusts Him even when the path ahead is uncertain.

2 Kings 2:12-23

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares strategies for responding to someone who is reactive. I told my mom to stop texting me because she keeps bringing up the past, and I can’t mentally handle it. My dad sexually abused my sister and killed her. What can I do to improve my dating relationships? I'm 50 years old. The conversation about marriage comes up, but they never take the next step. I want to date with purpose. I have a terminal illness; my 39-year-old son lives with me and doesn't have many in-person relationships. I worry about what will happen with him when I'm gone.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim shares a recent conversation he had with Dr. Neil Clark Warren, in which he asked, “What's the secret to a good relationship?” He said, “You have to be flexible, and when you're adaptable, you do better.” Dr. Jim discusses positive adaptability. Based on research by Gottman, a healthy marriage has a ratio of 5 positive interactions to 1 negative interaction. How do I convince my wife that she needs to go to counseling in order to heal? Do I drag her to counseling, or does she need to go on her own? We've been married 12 years and have 3 children. I feel like she's avoiding counseling because of her childhood trauma. How do I handle giving my granddaughter money for her high school graduation? She never thanks me when I give her a gift, and I want her to understand it's important for her to thank me. I lost my father tragically in the 1990s because he was an alcoholic and had a heart attack in the home of his mistress. I took my kids out of school and stayed away from my support group because I was filled with shame. Can you help me understand why I had so much shame?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses how some of us may experience “death wishes” toward others and outlines three practical steps to take when we feel the urge to harm ourselves or wish harm on someone else. What can I do if I don't feel I love as I should when people express love for me? I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother, but I struggle with depression, and the medication I take makes me numb. What do I say to my 43-year-old son with schizophrenia who hears God telling him he will be healed if he shaves his head and gives things away? How do I process my hatred toward my husband of 24 years? He has been emotionally abusive and withheld support and affection from me, and he does what he can to make me miserable. We are divorcing.

Jess and Thom begin with a simple observation: most churches still believe in evangelism—but far fewer are organized around it the way they once were. Programs that were once central have faded, and new approaches have emerged, often without the same clarity or consistency. In this episode, Jess and Thom look at how evangelism ministries have shifted over the past three decades—and what those changes mean for churches that want to reach people effectively today. The post How Evangelism Ministries Have Changed in Churches in 30 Years appeared first on Church Answers.

If God gave you a specific talent, a unique background, or a hobby you love, is it possible He intended to use those very things as a bridge to the Gospel? Many of us wait for a "traditional" door to open, but what if the most effective way to reach your neighbor is to think entirely outside the box?In this episode, Tracie and Abigail dive back into the life of Lilias Trotter to look at her ingenious ministry methods. From her early days advocating for women with the YWCA to her pioneering work in North Africa, Lilias didn't leave her artistry behind—she used it as a key to unlock hearts. We discuss how she used her sketches, her appreciation for beauty, and even her unique life experiences to connect with people who were closed off to the Gospel message. Join us as we explore how, with a little ingenuity and tenacity, your own unique "pivot" can lead to a ministry that reaches others for the cause of Christ.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses Psalm 37 and shares several of his observations. Discontentment, fretting, and envy make us vulnerable to more dangerous and destructive things in life. But like Paul, we must be on a journey of learning contentment. My husband and my son are in recovery from sex addiction, and my son was sharing his struggles with dating a certain woman. What's the expectation for sexual integrity for men dating in their 20s and 30s? Who would I go to for an assessment for my 34-year-old daughter? She can't find a man to marry, lashes out at people, and doesn't seem to understand how her actions hurt people. I have 18-year-old twins and a 13-year-old. I constantly talk to my kids about sex, but my husband doesn't even want to say the word. Do I back off? If porn is about emotional dysregulation; where does this fit in on the spiritual side? The devil hasn’t come up in my EMDR therapy, but Jesus has.

This week we are joined by our friend Tilly Dillehay to talk about her smash hit, totally excellent, helpful, encouraging, liberal-upsetting Instagram worthy (in all the right ways) Wife School. We discuss why she started doing such a crazy thing, why she pushes hard against being the magnifier of our spouses failures, and what it means to be the kind of wife your husband can trust. Join us! The post An Evening with Tilly Dillehay appeared first on Sheologians.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how healthy relationships are built through intentional partnership, emotional connection, and structure. By understanding your attachment style, you can learn the skills needed to develop a more secure attachment and stronger relationships. Is codependency an addiction? I tend to get into codependent relationships and then experience major periods of depression. Is EMDR therapy effective for 11-year-olds? My granddaughter was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed medication, but she hasn't taken it because she struggles to swallow pills. Can a 20-year marriage recover from repeated infidelity? My husband was involved with the same woman multiple times. I have betrayed his trust in other ways, but not through infidelity. My 18-year-old granddaughter lives with me, and I can't get her to stop using marijuana. I recently caught her and her boyfriend using cocaine that she obtained through her workplace.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Avoidant tendencies can keep us from speaking up for ourselves when someone is hurting us. We think that we can love our perpetrators out of their behavior, so people pleasers are often avoiders. My mom sent me off to another state when I was 14, and during that first year, I molested my 9-year-old cousin. It was never discussed, and recently she died; how do I get past my regret? I lost both of my parents; how do I survive if I don’t have emotional security around me?

This week we answer a Snodgrass voicemail about identity. What if you know that you have imbibed some wrongheaded ideas both from the world AND the church about who you are and what your vocation as a mother is all about? How do you go about untangling the question? Join us! The post I Forget Who I Am appeared first on Sheologians.
