In today's episode, we continue our conversation from last week about letting kids do things on their own to help build their confidence, and boy, were people mad, so we had to revisit the topic. After all, we want to encourage bravery, not paranoia, in our children. We also talk about whether parents should allow their kids to attend sleepovers or not, and our views might surprise you. Also, we're discussing the leaked training video out of Andy Stanley's North Point Community Church for youth group leaders about LGBTQ youth in middle school and how they ought to respond. Spoiler alert: It's not biblical. And is the White House going too far with its bizarre social media messaging about deportations? Or is it just capitalizing on trending memes?

In today's episode, we're discussing the recent season finale of the Netflix reality dating show "Love Is Blind" and the two women who left their fiancés at the altar over political differences! Really, the men should have noticed the red flags sooner, but at least they dodged those bullets at the last minute. We also break down some more bad theology from the creators of the 2022 documentary "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture," thanks to the promotion of the recent web series. We debunk the creators' claims about the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality and the LGBT community stemming from a translation error, and we go back to scripture to remember how God defines marriage and what our standard ought to be.

Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, guest hosts today's very special episode. Ron breaks down all the latest happenings in Washington, D.C., including the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and why the Senate failed to pass the bill. We also go over Trump's executive order that would end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. And, of course, the New York Times suddenly acknowledges that unborn children are, in fact, children but only for "undocumented women." We also talk about the viral White House press conference where Larry Ellison, Oracle's chief technology officer, talked about using AI to develop mRNA vaccines for cancer treatment and why people are so mad about it. And Ron wraps up by answering some of your most pressing questions, including his best parenting advice, how to keep lifelong friends, and balancing financial success without loving money.

Today, we discuss Chrissy Teigen and Kamala Harris' recent comments on abortion. A few years ago, Teigen announced she had a miscarriage. After the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, she announced this miscarriage was actually an abortion, causing confusion. The Biden/Harris campaign also recently put out an ad that features a woman who claims she was denied miscarriage treatment due to the Dobbs decision. Is this true? What is the difference between a miscarriage and an abortion, and why do abortion activists often conflate the two? And what actually happens during an abortion? We also share an encouraging moment from a group of Nigerian Christians after tragedy.

Today, we unpack Donald Trump's recent "bloodbath" controversy, and the insane mainstream media spin that has unfolded over the past week. Is Trump REALLY threatening a mass slaughter of innocent people!? No. However, we also dive into some concerning comments Trump made about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Is this a wise political strategy? Plus, a preacher in Washington recently gave a concerning sermon centered around self-worship and asked if God actually worships us.

Today we're joined by Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, to discuss the importance of marriage, the growing trend of polyamory in our culture, and his new book, "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." We start off with an explanation of why so many are misguided about what marriage actually offers people and why the lie that Christian marriages are doomed to fail is perpetuated so often from both the Left and the Right. We look at the rise in media coverage and normalization of polyamory and discuss what this means for how people see relationships and sex, as well as its disastrous effects on children. Is married life really making us sad, and what do we lose when we, as a society, fear marriage?

Many of us know what to do, but we disobey or delay. Today we have a chance to change this. Changed Lives I want to tell you something from observation. I have never met anyone who tithed who did not tend to be happy about the fact he did. He was not just happy about tithing…but about a lot of other things. I've never met anybody who tithed very long, who gave it up. I have never met anyone who tithed who did not say at some time it has been extremely difficult… Generous people seem to be the happy ones. Miserly people seem to be the unhappy ones. The critical spirit is with those who are not giving people. Just look around you and you can tell. --Ben Haden S T B E N E F I T S W B A L A N C E R D R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y H I P A R T N E R S Stewardship The Missing Piece to Successful Living 1. BENEFITS 2. BALANCE “God's work done God's way will not lack God's supply.” Hudson Taylor “The problem with money is that it makes you do things you don't want to do.” Wall Street, the movie 3. PARTNERS 4. RESPONSIBILITY “God can do a lot with a little if He has all there is to it!” D. L. Moody “The most important thought I ever had was that of my individual responsibility to God.” Daniel Webster Receiving Benefits as God's Steward JANUARY 21 “The Benefits of Lifestyle Stewardship” (Biblical Overview) Finding Balance as God's Steward JANUARY 28 “Poverty or Prosperity—Which is Biblically Correct?” Becoming Partners as God's Steward February 4 “One Plus One = ?” Accepting Responsibility as God's Steward February 11 “If God Owns It All, What Am I Doing With It?” Today we have learned that God owns EVERYTHING. Our unwillingness to tithe certainly is a contradiction to this truth. The Lord spoke through Moses and said, “The tithe…is the Lord's!” (Leviticus 27:30) Exclamation point – not a question mark. That statement means that 10% of our income should be given each week, or each month, to the work of the Lord through His church. The other 90% should also be managed wisely. Five Biblical Reasons Every Christian Should Be a Tither OBEDIENCE Genesis 14:20 tells us that Abraham tithed before the Law was given by Moses at Sinai. Malachi 3:10 summarizes what the Law required. Everyone was required to tithe everything they had. Matthew 23:23 shows us that our Lord Jesus recommended everyone to tithe. I Corinthians 16:2 indicates that tithing is still a part of God's expectations from his children. HONESTY In Malachi 3:8-10 the Bible teaches that if we do not tithe, we are robbing God! Isn't it unthinkable that a Christian would steal from anyone – much less, his God? We must continually remind ourselves that we do not give the tithe – we simply return it! It already belongs to God. LOVE In John 14:15 Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” Nothing will loosen the purse strings like good, old fashioned Christian love! We give the best gifts to those we love! GRATITUDE In Psalm 116:12-14 the Lord reminds us that since we have received so much, we should respond by giving much! We have received God's Son, His salvation, His presence, His blessings, and we will receive His Heaven…How can we think of giving Him less than a tithe? FAITH God has promised a blessing to those who are faithful in the Stewardship of Giving! See Malachi 3:10-11; Proverbs 3:9-10; Matthew 6:33; Luke 6:38. Faith in God's promises is reflected by obedience to His Word! REQUIREMENT “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse…” RESPONSE “…and test me now in this…” REWARD “…open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.” (Malachi 3:10) My Response – My commitment to tithe is based upon the following truths: God owns everything (my tithe is returned, not given).

Today we're joined by Megan Basham, culture reporter for the Daily Wire, to discuss her investigation into the After Party, a curriculum written by Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore, which is being pushed onto churches in an effort to bring Christians of different political backgrounds together. Megan shares how this curriculum not only fails at its objective but is funded by secular progressives: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We discuss why Rockefeller's interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag, including the fact that among the other initiatives funded are organizations that are pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion. What's in the After Party curriculum and what message is it really sending? We also look at the "AND Campaign" and how it is also funded by the Rockefellers. We explain how politics is a way to love our neighbor and why getting it right matters for the church. You can pre-order Megan's new book, "Evangelicals for Rent: Why Church Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda" here: https://www.amazon.com/Evangelicals-Rent-Church-Leaders-Leftist/dp/0063413442 --- Timecodes: (01:12) What is The After Party? / Rockefeller funding (07:50) What are their motivations?

Today we're joined by pediatric ER doctor and founder of Living with Power Ministries Dr. Lina AbuJamra to discuss her book, "Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This: A Christian Doctor's Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues." We start off with Lina's story of growing up in Lebanon, going to medical school, and her faith journey. She shares how her upbringing shaped her perspective on dating and how a relationship she had placed hope in didn't work out, leading her to feel betrayed by God. We discuss how she fell into the prosperity gospel of sex and marriage and how God redeemed this. Then, did purity culture fail the church? And what does it mean to walk in sexual purity and holiness, whether you're single, married, or engaged? We talk about the shame and stigma or purity and virginity even within the evangelical world and explain why it's more important than ever in our hypersexualized culture to understand that Jesus is worth facing these issues straight on. --- Timecodes: (02:13) Growing up in Lebanon & moving to the U.S. (15:23) Deconstruction / prosperity gospel (18:59) Purity culture (26:15) 'Old Testament God' & laws (29:25) 'Worse' sexual sins (38:00) Inerrancy of scripture (41:41) Christian leaders' sexual failures / Gen X leaders (56:20) Same sex-attraction (01:03:00) Response to sexual sin --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get 10% OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.

April 21, 2023 - Equipped Day 2 11:00AM Auditorium Speaker Doug Burleson looks at how we are to approach the WORD of GOD. Doug shows from the book of James that we are all to act on the WORD of GOD. Slides: How to RESPOND to GOD'S WORD - (James 1:19-27) Sadly, some may have conditioned themselves to think about "RESPONDING" to GOD'S WORD as what happens when someone walks down the aisle. We need to RESPOND to the WORD every time we encounter it. - (James 1:19-27) Human struggles evident in James - (James 1:1-15) Trails Faith being tested Lacking wisdom and struggling with doubt Poverty Materialism Temptation You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility towards GOD? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of GOD. - (James 4:4) The WORD of truth - (James 1:18) Recieve the WORD Be doers of the WORD If anyone is a hearer of the WORD and not a doer *The perfect Law of Liberty In the exercise of his will he brought forth by THE WORD of TRUTH, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among his creatures. - (James 1:18) With Humility - (James 1:19-21) with meekness accept the WORD This you know, my beloved brethren. But Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of GOD. Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in Humility Receive the Word Implanted, which is able to save your souls. - (James 1:19-27) It is possible to be too busy speaking to hear the WORD of GOD. It is possible to be too eager to speak the word to take the necessary time to hear the WORD. It is possible to get angry because of the need to submit oneself to GOD's WORD. With Integrity - (James 1:22-25) Become Doers of the WORD. But prove yourselves doers of the WORD, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the WORD and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; For once has looked at himself and gone away.... - (James 1:22-25) He has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the Perfect Law; The Law of Liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. - (James 1:22-25) What am I looking at? Am I glancing or gazing? What Results from my looking? With Charity - (James 1:26-27) As a Doer, GOD's WORD changes everything If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our GOD and Father is this: To visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unspotted by the world. - (James 1:26-27) My Response to GOD's WORD not only leads to a confession, but also a change in character and conduct. Let us RESPOND to GOD's WORD with HUMILITY, INTEGRITY, and CHARITY. - (James 1:19-27) Duration 37:12
Today we're joined by BlazeTV host of "4 Minute Buzz" Hilary Kennedy to discuss all kinds of weird occult products and shows popping up specifically for young people. First, a "Christian" ouija board for sale on Amazon promises to connect people with God. Psalm-themed tarot cards, marketed as "affirmation cards," are also deceptively marketed to Christians, and a ouija board marketed specifically to little girls features a pink kitten-themed aesthetic. This further shows that the glamorization and “normalizing” of the occult is becoming more and more prevalent at a pace we haven't seen in recent decades. We also discuss Disney's new German show "Pauline," about an 18-year-old getting pregnant by and falling in love with Satan, and why modern culture seems to keep coming back to this narrative in different formats. Then, we share some good news from CNN of all places: Abortion numbers have greatly decreased in post-Roe America! --- Timecodes: (00:51) Interview with Hilary begins (02:05) "Christian" ouija board (03:23) "Christian" tarot cards (07:16) Kids ouija board (10:51) Demon-themed Disney shows (14:29) The occult / new age beliefs in culture (29:38) Good news: abortion stats --- Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — when you buy one Thunderstorm you get one FREE, this week only!

Today we're joined by Leanne Jamieson, executive director at Prestonwood Pregnancy Center, to talk about what really goes on at pregnancy centers. In the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pregnancy centers across the country have found themselves targets of vandalism and vitriol, most notably from Elizabeth Warren, who deemed them “dangerous.” Leanne sets the record straight, explaining that these are centers where women come to be loved, served, and given actual choices that Planned Parenthood would never present. We go through exactly what happens when a woman enters Prestonwood Pregnancy Center and how the center serves both long-term and holistically. Leanne shares some stories of how God is working in these centers, as well as what PPC was able to do with all of our listeners' generous donations after the “Elizabeth Warren Exposes Very Scary Pregnancy Center” parody video last year.

One relationship principle I've come to appreciate over time is the power of giving people the gift of hope when they have so little of it themselves. It's when you burn brightly with hope for others when their own hope is but a dying ember. In several recent episodes, I shared a response from one of our listeners who wrote about feeling overwhelmed at how to develop relationships. She said she has no friends and is lonely. The hope she has for things ever getting any better is but a dim flicker. In today's episode, the last of season seven, I share what it looks like to give people the gift of hope. But before we get into today's episode, here's what this podcast is all about. Welcome to You Were Made for This If you find yourself wanting more from your relationships, you've come to the right place. Here you'll discover practical principles you can use to experience the life-giving relationships you were made for. I'm your host, John Certalic, award-winning author and relationship coach, here to help you find more joy in the relationships God designed for you. To access all past and future episodes, go to the bottom of this page to the yellow "Subscribe" button, then enter your name and email address in the fields above it. The episodes are organized chronologically and are also searchable by topics, categories, and keywords. Season seven ends today with episode 200 Before we get into today's show, I want to remind you that today's episode concludes season 7 of You Were Made for This. I will be taking a break from the podcast for a time to work on several projects to serve you better. They will be focused on ways to deepen our relationships and finding the joy God intends for us in them. The joy of relationships is the “this” we were all made for. Even though the podcast will go dark for a while until season 8 begins, I'd like to continue sharing with you what I'm working on in the meantime. I'd like to tell you about articles and information I come across I think you would find interesting and helpful in nurturing your relationships. I'll be doing this with occasional emails to you. If you've been getting my email each Wednesday about that week's podcast episode, you are good to go. But if you're not getting my Wednesday email, then you're not on my email list. To get on it, just go to johncertalic.com/follow to leave your email address. Okay. So much for this housekeeping matter and on to today's program. A listener who needs the gift of hope Here's what the listener I'm calling “Emily” (not her real name) wrote in response to episode 063. This is the one about building relationships by being more curious about people. She came across this episode 2½ years after it first aired. Listen as I read her comments about it. “I found this page because I was trying to do some research into what is ‘wrong with me.' “I grew up in a very strict and often abusive household, where it was constantly drilled into my head that if people wanted you to know things, they would tell you. And I was made to feel stupid for asking anything that should be “obvious.” We were basically shamed out of our curiosity as kids and taught to accept everything at face value without asking any questions. “Now almost 40 years old, I'm so frustrated by the fact that I don't have any real, close friendships. “I don't know how to be curious about people, and even when I want to be I have no idea what to ask. It feels like I don't even know how personal relationships work. I don't know how often you're supposed to reach out to people, exactly what parts of their lives you should be involved in, or how often to reach out… it sounds so silly but it's my reality! I don't know how to make and keep friends. “I'm sure I come off as selfish and self-centered… But really I just don't know how all this works and I get overwhelmed by it.” Our listeners respond In recent episodes, I asked you and the rest of our listening audience how you would respond to Emily if they were sitting across from her in a coffee shop for a conversation about her situation. I'll have links to those episodes at the bottom of today's show notes. In those episodes, I share what your fellow listeners would say to Emily. There were some very good responses. One that came in recently was from Chris, a listener in Wisconsin. You can read his wise feedback in the comments section of episode 198. You can find it at the bottom of the show notes for that episode. I also have a few comments to make about Emily's concern, but first I thought you'd like to hear what our executive producer, and my boss, Carol Steward, has to say. Carol, as you may recall, is the voice you hear introducing each episode of our podcast. She was my wife's roommate in college, and we have been friends for over 50 years. Most importantly, she was the one who first told us about Jesus when we were 19-year-old freshmen. I talk more about Carol in episode 021, The Most Important Relationship of All. Carol was the one who gave Janet and me the gift of hope so many years ago. Listen now to what she had to say recently about Emily and having a conversation with her in a coffee shop: Many of us have people like “Emily” in our lives Hi John: I was on my treadmill listening to your podcast. It resonated with me and someone whom I know that said to me once, "I don't tell people anything unless they ask me about something." She has told me that she had been abused in several relationships, and I think that this has precipitated her unwillingness to be open and free with conversation. I'm thinking that she thinks the less she talks about herself, the less it will be twisted or used against her. Is that what your "Emily" may have been feeling? Of course, we don't know because we can't ask her that. But I do know that abuse creates fear in the abused. My heart goes out to her. So the best I can offer an answer to what you asked of me, is if you want to get to know "Emily", get to know her the same way you would get to know a 4 or 5-year-old. Be light-hearted, and just enjoy the moment with her. . . . no expectations, no big questions, just enjoy the time. If the conversation only gets as far as, "Have you ever come to this coffee shop before?" and, "What do you like about this coffee?" All good. It's a start, and you can build on it the next time you get together. A gift of hope starts with wise words So I didn't answer your question, did I? I told you what I would do in conversation with her. So here's my shot at an answer: “Since you're at the coffee shop Emily, know that I'm here because I want to be there with you or else I would not have shown up. So ask me about my family--ages? interests? plans for the summer? Start with that and listen. Occasionally you could say, ‘Tell me more.' All relationships start with get-to-know questions. If that's hard for you, go to the questions of the moment, ‘Have you ever been to this coffee shop before?' and ‘What do you like about this coffee?'” My Response to Emily When I first received Emily's response to episode 063 about being more curious about people, I sent her an email saying something along the lines that I'm sorry she's having to deal with the relational difficulties she mentioned, and how they're causing such loneliness in her life. I offered to talk with her about these things. I never heard back from her. Maybe she didn't get the email. Or maybe she wanted to wait a while before responding and then lost my email address. There could be other reasons, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I have a few ideas I would use in talking with someone like Emily in a coffee shop. It starts with my goal. My goal would NOT be to fix her problem, or even to make her feel better. My goal would be to reflect the image of God well in talking with her. We're all made in the image of God, as the Bible tells us in the Book of Genesis. What would God want for Emily is a question I'd ask myself. I would start by building a level of trust with her, which comes from validating her feelings and showing compassion. I would listen well, setting aside anything weighing on me at the moment, so I could focus on Emily. Part of listening well is asking good questions, especially follow-up questions in response to what she says. With people struggling with relational issues like Emily, I often find myself asking them “where do you see God in your situation?” It's a way of pointing people to Jesus, to eventually find the gift of hope found in Him, and seeing how He is at work in whatever circumstance a person is facing. Choices Another thing I would eventually like to get to is the issue of choices. Even be so bold as after listening well and being compassionate and empathetic, to ask Emily something along the lines of, “So, given your situation, what are you going to do about it?” If what she's doing isn't working what can you do differently, Emily? And then let her come up with ideas. If she has a hard time answering this question I'd ask, “Emily the people you see who have good relationships; what do they do? What could you copy from them? In dealing with relational difficulties, people have more choices than they often realize. Talking things through as I'm suggesting will often help reveal those choices. As people begin to see more choices available to them, they begin to find hope that things could change for the better. I have a hunch that the skills Emily developed as a child living with her dysfunctional family are skills she continues to use as an adult. But these are skills that are no longer needed or appropriate in healthy relational environments. She needs to learn new relational skills, and discard the old ones. That's my hunch anyway. There's so much more that can be said about giving people like Emily the gift of hope that things can improve in their relationships. What you've heard from your fellow listeners and from me is just the tip of the iceberg to help get you started. So what does all this mean for YOU? I bet you've run across people like Emily in your life. When you do, it's wise to ask yourself HOW you can best reflect the character and image of God with that person. And then not thwart the work of the Holy Spirit in their life. Doing this can take so many different directions that it takes Godly wisdom to know which path to follow. So pray for wisdom at times like this. If you forget everything else from today's episode, here's the one thing I hope you remember Caring well for people means at times giving them the gift of hope. To help them see the hope found in knowing Jesus is at work in their life. It's to burn brightly with hope for them when their own hope is a dying ember. Closing Finally, as I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, I want to stay in touch with you from time to time while I take a break from this podcast before season eight begins. If you're on my email list, I'll let you know when I'm ready with new episodes to start the next season. I'll also send you information from time to time I come across that I think you would find interesting and helpful in nurturing your relationships. But if you're not getting my Wednesday email already, you're not on my email list. To get on it, just go to johncertalic.com/follow to get on the list. I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show to think about how you can reflect the character and image of God in helping people find the gift of hope in their relationship with Jesus. Well, that's it for today - and for season seven of this podcast. If there's someone in your life you think might like to hear what you just heard, please forward this episode to them. Scroll down to the bottom of the show notes and click on one of the options in the yellow “Share This” bar. I look forward to being in your ears when I'm ready to launch season eight. But until then, don't forget to spread a little relational sunshine around the people you meet this week. Spark some joy for them. And I'll see you again next time in season eight. Goodbye for now.

It means “modified.”Is there any intellectual curiosity?Faucci and the HIV issue… its just like the same story of what's happing now with COVID.Media and Pharm share a bed together. We have been in Venezuela for a few years now. But how do you know? You could and likely will lose your license if you prescribe Ivermectin or HydroxychloroquineWhat's the point of a physician now?Vaccine manufacture indemnified from liability. Comirnaty DOES NOT EXIST. A question I am not allowed to talk about…BUT… please read this to get whole story https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/samuel-sigoloff-military-doctor-exemptions-covid-vaccine-mandate/. They need our consent to do what is going on now. Stop consenting. I would rather bus tables then get this shot. “Major Sigoloff, this GOMOR (General Officer Memorandum Of Record) will go into your permeate record.” My Response was “My permeant record is not on earth.”Unqualified Resignation proffered but not accepted and now I am a DMED whistleblower.
