I have spent most of my life hanging around Pastors and Executive Directors, and I realized I have never met a real evangelist. Of course, we all know the most famous evangelist of our time, Billy Graham, but I wanted to find someone who is operating in that office of Evangelist so I could interview them.  I didn't have to look to hard … I found one in my own Church.  Dean Gooseen left a successful construction company to answer the call of evangelism, full time. In this episode, I introduce you to Dean, and I think you will agree … evangelists are people too.Challenging the Culture with Truth with Larry Kutzler and Esteemed GuestsListen to the Latest Episode of Challenging the Culture with Truth Podcast!Check out the Latest CitySites Urban Media Podcast Network Episode!Check out Larry's books!Visit the CitySites Urban Media YouTube ChannelCheck out It Is That Simple, The Simple Ideas of Profound TruthsCheck out Monday Morning Mindset with Dr. Nathan UnruhCheck out Lenny's Corner with Dr. Lennard Stoeklen

Ever feel like nothing works when your child lashes out—no matter how calm you try to be or how many consequences you give?Friend, you're not alone. And you're not doing it wrong. This episode is for every parent who's felt worn down by rude words, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior from their child—and is craving a better way. A way that actually works and feels good in your heart.In this episode, we're digging into three common mistakes that loving parents often make (through no fault of their own) when trying to manage tough behavior in kids ages 5–12. We'll shift the lens from “my child is being mean” to “my child is missing a skill or struggling with a need”—and that shift changes everything.You'll hear how one simple principle—all feelings are allowed, but not all actions are—became a total game-changer for one mom I worked with. We'll explore what it looks like to hold firm boundaries without shame or yelling, and instead respond with tools that build your child's emotional regulation and confidence.You'll also learn about a favorite strategy called “Bugs and Wishes,” which helps kids say what's bothering them without name-calling, aggression, or defiance. And we'll talk about how to break free from the exhausting “cuckoo cycle” of commands and consequences, and step into something so much more sustainable.These are Positive Parenting Strategies that work—not just in the moment, but long-term. They help you raise respectful, emotionally healthy kids while also enjoying your role as a parent again.So if you're ready to bring more connection, cooperation, and calm into your home... press play.

Send us a textAnxiety is the most common mental health challenge kids face—and it doesn't just affect them, it impacts the whole family. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Eli Lebowitz, the clinical psychologist behind the SPACE program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), about how parents can help reduce their child's anxiety—not by changing their kids, but by changing their own responses. We discuss how accommodation and overprotection can backfire, what supportive parenting really looks like, and why this parent-based model is so empowering. Whether your child has a formal anxiety diagnosis or just tends to worry more than others, this episode offers research-backed tools that truly make a difference.Dr Jessica Hochman is a board certified pediatrician, mom to three children, and she is very passionate about the health and well being of children.

Was Torri a little skeptical? Maybe! But when we dove in, turns out that after all, Torri IS in fact working on her mindset… Mindset work isn't always journaling, vision boards, or structured routines. Sometimes, it's choosing to stay positive in hard moments. It's having deep conversations, seeking connection, or just getting through the day with intention. In this episode, we talk about what mindset work really looks like, how to stay in a good headspace even when life gets messy, and why you might already be doing more mental work than you give yourself credit for. Whether you're deep in personal growth or just trying to feel more grounded, this one's for you.

I've become known around my house as the guy who asks too many questions. To be honest, I think I get a little annoying. One thing I've learned is that I need to ask good questions. Our tendency is to talk at, rather than listen to our kids. The bad news is that this approach is a communication killer. Asking good questions serves to open the floodgates of communication by encouraging your kids to express themselves. Asking questions lets your kids know you want to hear what they have to say. Good questions asked at just the right time helps teens think through their actions, process the decisions they've made, and consider the resulting consequences. Good questions give kids the opportunity to be treated like an adult, rather than a child. And remember, good questions are differentiated from bad questions because they can't be answered with only one word or a grunt. Good open-ended questions start with words like “how,” “why,” and “what.”

Author and podcast host Ronit Plank, author of “Home is a Made-Up Place” and “When She Comes Back”, talks about her mom who left six year old Ronit and her four year old sister to move to India and follow guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the center of Netflix documentary “Wild Wild Country”. In this incredible story of personal development, Ronit shares how she forgave her mother and created a strong relationship with her. We learn that while most people don't change, some do; that the way people treat you shows who they are - not who you are; the importance of expressing feelings in a vulnerable and constructive way; and to always use more herbs than the recipe calls for.

Chelsea Skaggs is here to talk about how couples can keep your romantic relationship strong as you move beyond from early stages of survival mode deeper into parenthood.   Together we explore:   How the demands of parenting shift as your children grow, and what that means for your romantic connection. Tips for getting your partner on board if only one of you feels ready to work on deepening your connection. Simple and practical strategies for attuning to your partner and "reading" the room for your best chance of success feeling a deepened connection. Navigating mismatched energy levels and intentions so bids for connection aren't thwarted. A power tool anyone can implement right away that can be help you to break out of reactive patterns. How your own nervous system regulation can be a starting point for closeness, including what polyvagal theory teaches us about this. Addressing resentment as a signal of unmet needs—and how to get to the root rather than staying stuck in this toxic loop. Why it's essential to focus on what's within your control and give yourself permission to care for yourself, instead of blaming your partner for meeting their needs.   If you're ready to move beyond just getting through the day and reconnect with your partner in a deeper way, this conversation is for you.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

 There's a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses.A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child.  It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family.A family culture doesn't take away the individuality of people within the family, it simply characterizes what we work to have in common.Creating a shared vision or family culture bonds the parents and children as well as siblings because they support and challenge each other to live up to the family code of conduct.They “aren't the only ones” who can or can't do something in social settings. Their siblings also follow the set rules of the family and if they don't, a sibling will usually inform the parents.If WE don't give our children a culture to belong to, society or their peer group will. Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

 When we were younger, we thought adulting would mean total freedom—no rules, no curfews, and eating cake for dinner. But in this episode, we unpack what actually comes with adulthood: the responsibilities, the pressure, the mental load, and the surprise realization that not everyone around us “adults” the same way. We talk about how trauma (or lack of it) shapes our ability to manage life, why having a partner who can carry their share of the adulting load matters more than you'd expect, and what it really means to feel “prepared” for adulthood. This episode is part reflection, part therapy session, and part laugh-at-our-past-selves. Tune in and feel a little more seen in your own messy, real-life version of adulting.

Is there such a thing as a too-imaginative kid? Parenting experts say no. Dr. Paul Harris, professor of education at Harvard and author of ⁠The Work of the Imagination⁠, says that kids' active imaginations are “essentially positive” and represent cognitive work, the way that children make sense of the world.  But if you've got a kid who prefers her imaginary friend to making real ones— or who terrorizes the first grade by explaining how zombies can get into one's home through the radiator— you might still wonder whether there comes a time to tamp it all down and force our kids to deal with reality.  In this episode we talk about  The considerable upsides of a huge imagination  Why some children have imaginary friends  Why some kids engage in “world play” for their imaginary worlds long after the other kids have moved on  How to help anxious kids whose imaginations can become overly active  How to encourage kids to engage in more imaginative play  And here's links to the books, articles, and research we discuss in this episode:  Lauren Child's ⁠Charlie and Lola book series⁠, featuring the kind-of-visible Soren Lorensen Louise Fitzhugh: ⁠Harriet the Spy⁠ Dr. Robin Alter: Anxiety and the Gift of Imagination Paul L.

The Parenting Mirror: What Your Kids Are Really Learning From You” What happens when your child becomes the parent — even just for a day? In this episode, we unpack last night’s Parental Guidance challenge, where kids were asked to care for a realistic baby doll, revealing what they’ve learned from their parents’ example. From “cry-it-out” methods to family role clarity, and even the silent weight of unappreciated parents — this conversation is a wake-up call for every mum and dad. Are you raising future chair stackers, or scorekeepers? KEY POINTS: Kids reflect the parenting they see — sometimes in ways we don’t expect. Why “cry-it-out” for babies is controversial and why we generally recommend avoiding it (especially under 6 months). The hidden harm of parenting with threats and power-centred comments. The trap of seeking validation from your children instead of giving without expectation. Why clarity in family roles, self-awareness, and communication are critical. The concept of raising “chair stackers” — children (and future adults) who see and meet needs without keeping score. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "If there was one gift I could give every parent, it would be the gift of self-awareness — the ability to see how your children experience you." RESOURCES MENTIONED: Upcoming book: The Boys Book by Justin Coulson (on raising “chair stackers”). More parenting resources at: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Reflect honestly: What do your kids see and learn from the way you react under stress? If you’ve used cry-it-out methods, consider alternatives and seek support if you’re struggling. Have a conversation with your partner (and even your kids) about family roles and whether everyone feels the load is fair and balanced. Let go of the need for validation from your kids — parenting is about giving. Start encouraging the “chair stacker” mindset in your kids by modelling it yourself.

What role does social media play in disordered eating and eating disorders? And how can parents spot early warning signs and have meaningful conversations about these tough topics? In this episode, host Dr. Ruston talks with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, a physician specializing in eating disorders for nearly two decades.  Dr. Gaudiani explains the difference between disordered eating and clinical eating disorders and how social media can fuel both.
