In the realm of Christian dating, navigating the intricate dynamics between love and hate can be a delicate endeavor.

What happens when your childhood home isn't just a house—but a gateway for something else? This chilling story comes from a massive log cabin in rural America, where a young family moved in while building their permanent home. At first, it seemed like the perfect place—spacious rooms, a pond, and acres of woods. But soon, footsteps echoed in empty hallways, closets whispered with voices, and an unseen presence made sure no one ever felt alone. For the storyteller, the nightmare began at just five years old. Nights brought footsteps above the bedroom ceiling and the sound of movement in the attic. Parents dismissed it as birds or squirrels, but the children knew better. Then came the first shocking encounter: a young girl in a beige nightgown, her dark bangs framing a face that should not have been there. She giggled, ran down the hall, and later whispered from inside the closet, “They come here.” Things only grew darker. A gas fireplace turned itself on. A cousin who stayed in the cavernous game room woke to a faceless figure waving at him from the window, forcing him to flee in terror. Doors locked on their own, windows tapped by invisible hands, and the feeling of being watched stretched from the house itself into the surrounding woods. Was this a spirit tied to the land? A lost soul replaying fragments of her past? Or something far darker that followed the family wherever they went? #HauntedCabin #GhostGirl #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CreepyChildSpirit #ParanormalActivity #HauntedChildhood #SupernaturalEncounters #GhostStories #CreepyStories #Paranormal Love real ghost stories?

“Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (Exodus 20:12 NLT) The first four commandments have to do with our relationship with God. The final six deal with our relationships with people. In the commandments that follow this one, we find “You must not murder.” “You must not commit adultery.” “You must not steal.” “You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.” “You must not covet.” Before God deals with other human relationships, however, He begins with the family. “Honor your father and your mother.” The family is very important to God. Few things can bring us as much pleasure in life as our families. And few things can bring us as much pain in life as our families. Kids have problems with parents. Parents have problems with kids. Kids have problems with one another. Parents have problems with one another. Often at the same time. But we must never lose sight of the family’s importance. God created the family dynamic. Our very existence as a society is contingent on the success of the family. As I’ve said before, a family can survive without the nation, but a nation cannot survive without the family. Maybe that’s why Satan hates it so much and does everything he can to undermine it. Tragically, in today’s twisted times, mothers and fathers often are not even around to honor. Especially fathers. A man and a woman faithfully raising their children together is becoming less and less the norm. I remember that I moved around a lot when I was a kid. I came from a divorced home, and it caused a little bit of scandal each time we relocated. “He’s from a broken home,” people would whisper. It was a bit of a rarity in those days. Today, coming from a stable home is almost as rare. “What? Your mom and dad are still together? What’s with that?” We tamper with God’s order at our own peril. The fifth commandment isn’t simply a reminder to kids; it’s a call to action for all God’s people to prioritize the cornerstone institution He created. You don’t need to see the latest statistics and studies to tell you the impact of broken homes and dishonored families. You can see it in your neighborhood. You can see it in your church. You can see it in your local schools. Maybe you can see it in your own family, extended or nuclear. The fifth commandment is a reminder to put the best interests of our spouse, our kids, and our parents ahead of our own desires and wants. It’s a reminder to honor our commitments to the people closest to us, especially when things get rocky. It’s a reminder to embrace the responsibilities of parenthood. It’s a reminder to forgive the people whose closeness to us makes it easier for them to hurt us. It’s a reminder to swallow our pride and take the necessary steps of reconciliation. When we honor our father and mother, we honor the family. And when we honor the family, we honor God. Reflection question: How can you honor your father and mother?

How have screens and social media altered the brains of children? What is the long-term impact on their happiness and ability to be prosperous, fulfilled adults later on?“Looking at the brain science, we really have to treat screens more in the category of a highly addictive drug like digital fentanyl than sugar,” argues Clare Morell, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of “The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones.”“These companies are in a race to the bottom. They're all in a race to get the youngest users. The incentives are not in place for them to put child safety first,” she says.While many apps advertise parental controls, the reality is there are far more hidden ways children can access addictive, dangerous, or pornographic content than parents may think, Morell says.“I just wanted to push back against this premise that the smartphone is an inevitable part of childhood. It doesn't need to be.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Detective Mike Weber is interviewed on the Intentional Clinician podcast with Paul Krauss MA LPC. Mike draws on his deep experience investigating Munchausen by Proxy(MBP)—a rare but harrowing form of child abuse where caregivers fabricate or induce illness in children for attention or other psychological gain. Weber has investigated more cases of medical child abuse than almost any other detective in the U.S., with over a dozen arrests and several convictions to his name. His work, often in partnership with medical experts, highlights the severe systemic challenges faced in prosecuting MBP crimes: cases are difficult to prove, victims are vulnerable, and the legal system is often hesitant to accept the reality that a mother could deliberately harm her child. Weber recounts intensely complex casework involving detailed deception, manipulation of medical professionals, and lasting trauma for victims. He describes cases where mothers made up or caused symptoms—one involving hundreds of falsified doctor visits over years, which ultimately was dismissed before reaching trial due to prosecutorial reluctance. Weber is outspoken about systemic shortcomings, emphasizing that many cases never see a courtroom and that awareness, better training, and stronger advocacy are urgently needed. Weber's book, The Mother Next Door, co-authored with Andrea Dunlop, combines true crime storytelling and psychological analysis to explore MBP through the lens of three chilling real cases: Hope Ybarra, Brittany Phillips, and Mary Welch. The book not only exposes the devastation of MBP but also examines the emotional consequences for families and the formidable difficulties in holding perpetrators accountable. Weber and Dunlop offer both expert insights and personal perspectives to illuminate the hidden epidemic of medical child abuse and the often-overlooked complexity of prosecuting MBP cases.   Through his interviews, book, and advocacy, Detective Mike Weber is helping reshape public understanding and institutional response to subversive child abuse in the form of Munchausen by Proxy, pushing for a future where these children are better protected and perpetrators are held truly accountable.   Get involved with the National Violence Prevention Hotline: 501(c)(3) Donate Share with your network Write your congressperson Sign our Petition Preview an Online Video Course for the Parents of Young Adults (Parenting Issues) Unique and low cost learning opportunities through Shion Consulting Paul Krauss MA LPC is the Clinical Director of Health for Life Counseling Grand Rapids, home of The Trauma-Informed Counseling Center of Grand Rapids.

Of all life's many challenges, having a child with serious health or developmental issues is among the worst. Parents can be consumed with worry, fear and a sense of dread. On top of that, social beings naturally compare themselves to others… mothers are always gauging their own children's successes or failures against the kids of friends and family.

Of all life's many challenges, having a child with serious health or developmental issues is among the worst. Parents can be consumed with worry, fear and a sense of dread. On top of that, social beings naturally compare themselves to others… mothers are always gauging their own children's successes or failures against the kids of friends and family. When your child is not able to grow and learn like others, it's heartbreaking.Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.comFollow me on social media:Facebook.com/DrLauraInstagram.com/DrLauraProgramYouTube.com/DrLauraJoin My Family!!Receive my weekly newsletter, upcoming show and event notifications + 20% off my Marriage 101 course & 25% off Merch!

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Substance use and recovery can shift every aspect of a young person's life - even the faith that has been deeply ingrained in someone's upbringing.  Parents often have visions and expectations of their child's lives, and for parents of faith, that usually includes a life of shared values and traditions.  So what happens when our kids choose differently?My guest today, Heather Frazier, only developed ideas about this when her own children not-so-politely exited the family's religious practice. Her advice has striking similarities to our advice to parents of kids struggling with substance use: maintaining healthy, open relationships while learning to let go of expectations and abandoning a false sense of control.In this episode, Heather explains the "dangerous two-part cocktail" of unhealed wounds and ego. We discuss the fullness of God's plan for our family's lives, how looking inward can change our perspective, and how a distorted view of traditional Christianity may contribute to the feelings of being not-enough that often fuel substance misuse.EPISODE RESOURCES:Heather's websitePivot Parenting PodcastThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

When your child has complex medical needs, the question of more children isn't always simple.And for some parents of disabled children, the decision to stop at one might not even feel like a decision at all.In this episode, Alyssa shares responses from hundreds of parents who live in this reality: the sadness of not giving their child a sibling, the guilt of choices that never felt like choices, the relief of knowing their family is complete, and the complicated emotions that sit in between.If you've felt sadness, certainty—or both at the same time—about stopping at one, we hope this episode will feel deeplyfamiliar.Links:Join The Rare Life newsletter andnever miss an update!Fill out our contact form to joinupcoming discussion groups!Listen to Ep 99: Family Planning.Listen to 194: Season 12 Kickoff forMadeline's big announcement!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donateto the podcast or Contactme about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.

How many times a day do I tell my son what to do next? In this rebroadcast from 2015, our Head of Middle School Andrew Reed offers his ideas on cultivating an environment at home (and in the classroom) where boys can develop their own academic will. This entails not only greater freedom but also—just as necessary—a close and reliable family bond. Mr. Reed explains how this counterintuitive pair works together to teach a boy to choose the good for himself.

In this episode I got to talk with Author and certified coach Ingrid Hu Dahl. Her new book, "Sun Shining on Morning Snow" is a testatment to the importance of preserving family history and finding ways to talk about the things that we tend to avoid talking about. After the death of her mother, Ingrid reflected on their relationship and how thier respective journeys of identity and self discovery was similar. Having her own struggle with both her cultural and sexual identity, Ingrid manages to weave her grief into a memoir that is about the ways our relationship to our parents and our past shape our future. We also talk about the importance of continuing to tell the stories that make us, and to keep the memories of our loved ones alive.

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by a big goal that you back away and settle for “safe”?Here's the truth: in order to succeed, you have to fail more. And you'll have problems either way—so why not live an awesome life? In this episode, Rachel & Greg break down the mindset and method they've used for 23+ years to make bold decisions, face fear, and move forward even when it's scary.You'll learn how to:Flip fear from a stop sign into a signal you're on the right pathUse the “exchange rate” test to decide if a dream is worth the priceShrink overwhelm with step-by-step moves (exposure in bite-sized reps)See how obstacles transform you into the person who can live your dreamAdopt the mantra: “I'll either find a way—or I'll make one.”Bottom line: your fears aren't facts. When you face them strategically, the “impossible” becomes doable—and your life expands.Key Takeaways✅ Overwhelm means growth is near, not that you should quit.✅ Problems are guaranteed; choose the ones that lead to an extraordinary life.✅ Exposure beats avoidance: tiny reps dissolve massive fears.✅ Decide by “exchange rate”: is the cost (work/problems) worth the outcome?✅ Identity shift: obstacles forge the person who can hold the life you want.Chapters00:00 Embracing the Sun: A Controversial Perspective01:09 The Catalyst for Extraordinary Living02:26 Overcoming Overwhelm: The Decision to Act04:17 Facing Challenges: The Path to Growth06:10 The Irony of Fear: Choosing a Boring Life08:39 Transforming Fear into Opportunity11:18 Breaking Through Barriers: The Edge of Comfort13:45 Processing Fear: A Journey of Growth15:29 The Power of Facing Fears20:41 The Importance of Awareness in Overcoming Fear24:05 Living Beyond Limits: The Flea AnalogyMemorable Quotes

Parenting today feels overwhelming—and it's not your imagination. The latest Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report reveals shocking truths about kids' mental health and shows us just how deep this childhood chronic disease crisis runs.Our children are carrying the weight of poor diet, chronic stress, environmental exposures, and endless screen time—and it's affecting not just their moods but their overall health. As parents, it's easy to wonder, “Is this just my child?” or “Am I doing something wrong?”Let me reassure you—it's not bad parenting, it's a dysregulated brain. In this episode, I'll walk you through what the report means for American children's health and, most importantly, share practical steps you can take to calm the brain first, build resilience, and protect your child in today's overstimulating world.Why are so many American children struggling with mental health?Parents are searching for answers because the numbers in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report are staggering:Teen depression has doubled in recent years.Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for teens, rising 62% since 2007.Loneliness is at epidemic levels—73% of young adults report feeling isolated.Neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism continue to rise at alarming rates.These aren't just statistics from a government assessment. They represent the nation's health and, more importantly, our kids. The MAHA Commission—led by Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—noted that the potential drivers of this crisis include ultra processed foods, poor physical activity, environmental chemicals, and chronic stress.This isn't just a public health concern—it's a matter of national security when so many American children of the same age are struggling with preventable mental and physical health conditions. The Human Services Department and National Institutes call this the biggest children's health crisis in modern U.S. history.Key Takeaways:It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain. Behavior is communication, and we need to calm the brain first.Environmental chemicals, ultraprocessed foods, and chronic stress are fueling this crisis in American children's health.Over-reliance on medicine and medication isn't fixing outcomes. The root causes—nutrition, stress, sleep, environmental exposures, and screen time—must be addressed.What hidden drivers of kids' health problems should parents know about?The MAHA Report shines a light on what's fueling the rise in dysregulation, ADHD, anxiety, and depression in kids today:Poor diet: 70% of children's calories now come from ultra-processed foods, leaving their brains starved of the nutrients they need to focus, learn, and regulate emotions.Environmental exposures: Everyday chemicals—like pesticides and microplastics—interfere with hormones and raise risks for autism, ADHD, and other mental health struggles.Chronic stress & sleep loss: Exhausted kids can't bounce back; lack of rest is draining their resilience.Technology overuse: Children average nine hours of non-school screen time daily, and social media alone doubles the risk for anxiety and depression.Over-medicalization: Prescriptions for ADHD, anxiety, and depression keep rising, yet long-term outcomes aren't improving.

In this edition of Non Linear Learning, Dr. Vaish Sarathy and co-host Searmi Park unpack the buzz around “productive failure”and flip it on its head for neurodivergent learners. Inspired by Manu Kapur's work and his recent conversation on 10% Happier, Vaish and Searmi explore when failure can deepen learning, when it harms, and why the word we're actually looking for is exploration, not failure at least for this audience.  In this episode Productive failure what we think it means Why we don't “design failure” for autistic students Parents as the ones who “fail productively” Real-life stories A challenge for listeners Key takeaways Exploration > evaluation. Our learners already face constant performance tests; they don't need “engineered” failure. Hold the bar high, detach from outcomes. You can keep rigor and still protect nervous systems. Make the “failure” yours. Parents and educators can iterate on the environment, task, and supports instead of labeling the child. Build a web, not a bridge. Let detours teach the terrain. Resources & Links Book: Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing by Manu Kapur Podcast that sparked this convo: 10% Happier with Dan Harris “Let's Normalize Failure (The Right Kind) | Manu Kapur.” (Spotify) Try this at home (Quarterly Challenge) Pick one stretch experience your child “can't do”—museum hour, library time, a short concert, a new trail, and scaffold it respectfully (sensory-wise, regulation-wise). Debrief afterwards: What worked? What needs one tweak? What surprised you?

Hello from the other side of some of the things we thought our kids would never grow out of. Parents of young children are often told “Cherish it! You'll miss it when it's gone and they're grown!” Right, so there's merit to that but there are a bunch of things that we definitely will not miss. Diapers, waiting 7-10 business days for them to “dood it meself,” or the constant binkie battle probably aren't worth missing. Sure, our kids will grow up and move on but that's the point. Also in this episode: feelings wheel. Because when is feelings wheel not appropriate? Can't think of a time, personally.We want to hear from you!

In the 18th century, modern Germany continued to be a patchwork of various duchies, which kept German nobles in the marriage rotation throughout Europe. So it was that two brothers - Ernst and Leopold - came into the world in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1784 and 1790. One would become the King of Belgium, and one would be the legal father of Prince Albert, later the husband of Queen Victoria. We say "legal father" because apparently it's not 100% clear that Ernst's estranged wife, the long suffering Princess Louise, wasn't comforting her brother-in-law after the death of his wife, England's Princess Charlotte, whose death in childbirth prompted the Hanoverian race to reproduce that gave the world Queen Victoria.  It is, as they say, complicated.
