“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13. Jenny and her guest are bringing hope and a miracle story to you today. Given a 1% chance to live 8 months in Nov 2024, Dr. Pete Sulack has survived what most don't: an aggressive terminal brain cancer.  Instead of surrendering to the prognosis, Dr. Sulack, a nationally respected healthcare provider became his own patient, applying the very protocols he'd developed for others throughout his career. Just four months later, doctors declared him in full remission. Now, Dr. Pete is using his personal miracle, faith and clinical knowledge to transform how we approach cancer and chronic illness. Dr. Pete has an extraordinary story. He's is a chiropractor and an anointed international evangelist and known as “America's Leading Stress Expert.” He shares his 5 pillars of health, more about this journey and how Jesus was with him.  He's the Owner of Redeem Health and Chiropractic, and the founder of Matthew 10 Ministries. He is a family man based out of Knoxville, TN. He's actively reaching others through:  The Be Resilient Program and his Redeem Essentials and he's going to be sharing with us today.

Abandoned at birth and raised in Romanian orphanages, Lucian Mastata knows the pain of rejection, neglect, and loneliness. In this heartfelt conversation, Lucian shares how a chance visit to a Christmas carol service as a teenager introduced him to the hope of Jesus and changed everything.  As he continued to return to church, he discovered that God was not a distant figure but a loving Father who could heal the wounds of his past and give him purpose for the future. We talk about the emotional toll of growing up as an orphan — the shame, stigma, low self-worth, and the healing power of God's love.  Lucian now leads one of the largest Christian music festivals in Eastern Europe, HeartBeats, creating space for the next generation to encounter Christ in a real and relevant way. His story is one of humility, perseverance, and radical hope. It's a powerful reminder that no matter what happened in our past, God can redeem any situation.

But thankfully she's still alive to share her story and give others hope that there is healing on the other side.

This podcast episode presents a profound exploration of the harrowing journey of Dion, who recounts his experiences of wrongful conviction and the subsequent impact on his life. At the core of our discussion lies the critical examination of the failings within the justice system that led to his wrongful imprisonment. Dion reflects upon the indelible influence of his single mother, who instilled in him the resilience necessary to navigate the challenges he faced, including the transformative process of finding redemption after years of incarceration. Throughout our dialogue, we delve into the systemic issues that facilitate such miscarriages of justice and the personal trials Dion endured during his time in prison. Ultimately, this episode serves not only as a testament to his strength and perseverance but also as a call to action for addressing the profound injustices that persist within our legal frameworks.The conversation unfolds with a warm welcome between host Keith Haney and the guest, Dion Patrick, whose life experiences provide a profound backdrop to the discussion. Dion's narrative is profoundly shaped by the lessons imparted by his mother, a formidable single parent who instilled in him the values of perseverance and ambition. This foundation proved crucial, particularly after her untimely passing when Dion was only sixteen, a loss that propelled him into a tumultuous phase marked by poor decisions and a descent into gang culture. The dialogue intricately explores the emotional turmoil of that period, revealing how the absence of maternal guidance led to an anger that manifested in rebellious behavior and ultimately culminated in his wrongful conviction. Keith Haney and Dion delve into the systemic failures of the justice system that not only led to his incarceration but also illustrate broader societal issues regarding how young men of color are disproportionately affected by these injustices, emphasizing the need for reform and accountability. Dion's reflections on mentorship reveal a network of support that he found within his community, contrasting with the isolation he felt following his mother's death and highlighting the importance of positive influences in the lives of young people.Takeaways: The profound influence of a strong maternal figure is essential in shaping one's resilience and determination to achieve personal goals. Experiencing loss at a young age can lead to misguided choices and a descent into negative influences, highlighting the importance of guidance and support. The interrogation process often employs psychological manipulation and deprivation tactics, which can lead to false confessions even from innocent individuals. The systemic flaws within the justice system can result in wrongful convictions, emphasizing the need for reform and accountability in law enforcement practices. The stigma of having a criminal record persists even after exoneration, creating significant barriers to reintegration into society, such as securing housing and employment. A legacy of positive influence and mentorship is vital for those who have experienced incarceration, aiming to prevent others from enduring similar hardships.

Here I break the silence: I lost a child two years ago. Since then, my wife and I have harrowed through hell.Are there Biohacks and lifehacks for dealing with this kind of grief? Yes and no. To some extent, the pain of loss is pain that becomes you. It's pain that wraps itself around every quantum fiber of your soul for the duration of this life. But the mental health crisis that ensues after losing a child, that's hackable.But the story of the worst day of my life - the worst thing that ever happened to us - ends with the greatest hope.Read

Jeff Jay was sleeping under bushes in San Francisco, physically deteriorating and contemplating suicide, when his parents found him through an unlikely series of events. What started as a simple phone call became the beginning of a 40+ year recovery journey, and eventually helped create the modern intervention methods that have guided thousands of families.   Highlights   What Every Family Needs to Know:   The gentle question that changed everything- how one father's caring words reached his son when nothing else could (and why the approach mattered more than the words themselves) Why "they have to want it" isn't the whole story- understanding how motivation and readiness actually work in recovery, plus what families can do while waiting The doctor's straightforward explanation that provided clarity- a simple framework that helped make sense of addiction as a medical condition Real success rates for family interventions- 85-90% when done thoughtfully, and what happens with the remaining 10-15% Understanding the addicted brain- why decision-making is compromised and how this knowledge can help families respond with compassion instead of frustration How families can recognize their influence- you have more impact than you might think, especially when you know how to use it constructively What "raising the bottom" means for your family- helping someone reach acceptance sooner rather than waiting for more consequences The power of "doing this together"- why recovery works better when the whole family participates, not just the person with addiction When intervention doesn't work on day one- what families can do to maintain momentum and continue the conversation Why modern treatment approaches can be confusing- navigating the difference between treating addiction and treating other conditions simultaneously The trauma and addiction connection explained- understanding when to address underlying issues and when to focus on sobriety first How structured family recovery works- supporting your loved one (and yourselves) through the crucial first year The difference between enabling and supporting- practical guidance for families learning new boundaries What to do when you feel exhausted and hopeless- finding your way back to effective action when you've been through so much Why having an ally matters- the importance of not going through this alone, and how to find the right support Practical next steps for families ready to learn more- where to start when you're ready to try a different approach   This conversation offers both hope and practical guidance for families who love someone struggling with addiction. Jeff's story reminds us that even in the darkest moments, the right kind of help- offered with love and clear boundaries- can make all the difference.   If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, remember: you don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to solve everything at once.   Resources mentioned: Love First (3rd edition), It Takes a Family, No More Letting Go, https://lovefirst.net/    For families ready to move from feeling helpless to taking loving action- this episode shows you it's possible.

Husband-and-wife music duo, Kenny and Claire Hilliard both grew up in the upstate of South Carolina before God took them the long way around to finally settle in Nashville, TN.  In 2015, during Kenny's tenure as a senior pastor and worship leader in Asheville, North Carolina, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Shortly after successful surgery to remove the tumor, Kenny received a second diagnosis, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome—a degenerative genetic disease that left him temporarily impaired. The couple embraced a return to music during Kenny's recovery, founding a music teaching studio and penning modern hymns for their home congregation. Kenny and Claire also share some of their travel experiences from being on the road six months of the year touring with their 3 kids in an RV across the country. This special couple is honest about the struggles they've endured and continue giving God glory via their music through it all.

This episode of Let's Try This Again is one of the most powerful and personal conversations I've ever had. I'm your host, B Simone, and today I sit down with Kevin—a filmmaker, producer, author, and mental health advocate whose story is nothing short of a miracle. We talk about the realities of suicide, mental health struggles, and the unseen emotional weight so many of us carry.Kevin opens up about living with bipolar disorder and the darkness he's battled—including the day he attempted to end his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge at just 19 years old. Out of thousands who have jumped, only 40 have survived in 90 years, and Kevin is one of them1. Hearing him talk about the days leading up to that moment, the pain he felt, and the silence he kept out of fear of judgment is both heartbreaking and incredibly relatable. He shares how he used to hide his hallucinations, panic attacks, and deep sadness, and how the loss of his beloved teacher to suicide made him believe it was an option for himself.But this episode isn't just about the darkness—it's about hope, resilience, and practical steps to keep going. Kevin shares the two life-saving actions he takes whenever suicidal thoughts return: looking in the mirror and reminding himself, “My thoughts don't have to become my actions,” and reaching out to say, “I need help now.” These simple but powerful tools have helped him stay alive for 24 years since his attempt, and he urges anyone struggling to use them too.We also talk about the importance of community, love, and small daily actions that can shift your mindset—like meditation, exercise, and even something as simple as a hug. Kevin's story is a testament to the fact that you are not alone, your life has purpose, and there is always a way forward, even when it feels impossible.If you or someone you love is struggling, please listen with care and know that there are people and resources ready to support you. This episode is raw, real, and full of hope. I promise, you'll walk away feeling seen, motivated, and reminded that your story isn't over. Let's keep trying—together.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eucatastrophe, a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien, encapsulates the sudden, unexpected joy that breaks through moments of despair. Drawing from Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories", this episode delves into how eucatastrophe shapes his works, from The Silmarillion to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Through key moments of unexpected hope in Tolkien's stories—like the eagles' arrival at the Battle of the Five Armies and the destruction of the One Ring—listeners will explore how Tolkien's concept mirrors the ultimate eucatastrophe in Christian theology: the Resurrection of Christ.

Episode Summary In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jon and Felicia Rohman to share the remarkable journey of their daughter Hadlee, who underwent a life-saving heart transplant in 2020—right amid a global pandemic. What began as a terrifying health issue became a testimony of faith, resilience, and appreciation for the incredible gift of life. Years later, Hadlee is thriving, healthy, joyful, and full of gratitude. Join us as Andi Johnson interviews the Rohmans, who open up about their challenges, the community that rallied around them, and the beautiful, beating heart of their daughter's second chance at life.   ✨ Episode Highlights Andi Johnson welcomes Jon and Felicia Rohman, a husband-and-wife team and proud parents of four. The conversation centers around Hadlee, their third child, who was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Felicia recounts Hadlee's birth in 2017 and the significant right-sided heart failure she experienced by late 2019, which made organ donation the only viable option. Jon discusses the mental and emotional preparation required as they faced the reality of a potential heart transplant. The couple acted quickly, getting Hadlee placed on the transplant list in January 2020. She received her new heart on May 28, 2020—coincidentally, their son's birthday. Jon reflects on the emotional toll of the process, including a failed donation and navigating the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Felicia shares the complexity of maintaining infection control while managing the needs of their other children. During this time, Jon resigned from his job to be with Hadlee full-time at the hospital. Jon honors Felicia's strength as she worked two jobs—80 hours a week—while homeschooling and caring for their children at home amid the pandemic. Today, Hadlee is flourishing with a new baby sister and enjoys activities such as swimming, soccer, and dancing. The Rohmans express deep gratitude to the donor family, highlighting the life-changing impact of the transplant. Felicia reflects on how their faith sustained them through hardship and the emotional conversations they had with their children. The couple emphasizes the vital importance of organ donation and the hope it brings to families in need. Jon encourages other families to lean into their communities and be open to receiving help. They also speak to the power of social media in spreading Hadlee's story and building a network of support. The Rohmans express appreciation for organizations such as Donate Life and Network For Hope for amplifying their journey and giving them a platform to share.

Today's conversation is deeply personal, and deeply important. I sit down with my dear friend Emily Smith to discuss her incredible journey with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Just months after her shocking diagnosis, Emily's cancer had already spread to her brain - a rare and aggressive progression that left her doctors uncertain of the path forward. But today, we talk about the courage and grace Emily carried in the midst of her fight. It will leave you in awe and eager to embrace each day with renewed purpose.Through it all, Emily has maintained an unwavering spirit of hope, positivity, and determination. Rather than letting the diagnosis consume her, she has focused on being present for her family, finding humor in the darkest moments, and using her experience to uplift and support others facing similar battles. She openly shares the emotional rollercoaster of her diagnosis, the invaluable support she's received, and the profound shift in her perspective on what truly matters in life. For anyone seeking inspiration, comfort, or a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable challenges, this story is a reminder that there is always reason to hope. This is about celebrating this remarkable woman and the beauty that can emerge from the darkest of circumstances.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

Thank you so much for being willing to open up and inspire others with your journey. I'd love for you to introduce yourself and share a bit about your experience.   Sarah (00:20) Thanks for inviting me, Michelle. My name is Sarah, and I struggled with unexplained infertility for three and a half years. I had multiple tests and examinations, visited several doctors, and went through all the standard procedures, but no one could pinpoint the issue.   During my research, I discovered that acupuncture could be helpful for infertility, as it promotes relaxation and balance. Along with acupuncture, I learned about the importance of the right supplements. That's when I found you, Michelle, through your amazing reviews online. I reached out, explained my situation, and shared how I'd been following everything the doctors recommended, eating healthy, but still had no success. What struck me immediately when I met you was your energy and positivity. You weren't just an acupuncturist; you were like a life coach, guiding me step by step. During our first visit, you assessed my needs, recommended supplements, and started a treatment plan. After just one session, I felt significantly more relaxed. I also started practicing the visualization techniques you suggested, spending time at the beach, watching the sunrise, and focusing on restoring my energy.   After five treatments, I was able to get pregnant naturally. It was an incredible moment, and I can't thank you enough for your guidance and support. Michelle (03:17) I appreciate your kind words, Sarah, but I want to highlight the effort you put into this journey. You took initiative, embraced the practices, and made significant changes—that's a big deal.   Sarah (03:28) Thank you. It was a challenging road, but your support made all the difference. To give some context, I had tried naturally for three and a half years. Then, I underwent four IUIs, but none were successful. During one of those cycles, I worked with another acupuncturist, but it didn't help. Eventually, I decided to move on to IVF. My first IVF attempt wasn't successful. The clinic retrieved a few eggs, but only two made it to embryos, and the fresh embryo transfer didn't work. That experience was emotionally draining. The clinic's lack of support left me feeling alone and uncertain. That's when I turned to you. We started acupuncture and supplements, and your guidance helped me approach the process differently. I switched to a new clinic, which was much more supportive. They recommended combining acupuncture with IVF, and this time, everything felt more aligned.   Michelle (06:01) It's amazing how much the right environment and support can make a difference.   Sarah (06:22) Absolutely. The second clinic was so thorough and caring. They retrieved more mature eggs, and six of them made it to embryos. We planned a frozen embryo transfer but decided to wait a few months to let my body recover. Meanwhile, I continued with acupuncture and the protocol you recommended.   Then, something unexpected happened. Before the transfer, I got pregnant naturally. It was a complete surprise. I couldn't believe it after everything I had been through. Michelle (08:27) That's incredible! Your story is so inspiring because you had every reason to feel defeated, yet you never gave up. What kept you going? Sarah (10:00) I'd say it was a combination of faith and determination. I also had a dream after my first failed IVF that really stuck with me. In the dream, a man in brown clothing with a beard stood over me and placed his hands out, giving me energy. It felt like a message not to give up.   Michelle (12:14) That's so powerful. Dreams can be deeply meaningful, especially during such emotional journeys.   Sarah (13:32) It was. That dream, combined with my spiritual practices, gave me strength. I started focusing on connecting with God and nature, walking barefoot in the sand, and appreciating the present moment. I also began meditating and visualizing my body healing and preparing for pregnancy. Those practices made a huge difference. Michelle (17:22) It's amazing how those connections to faith and nature can create such profound shifts. And I remember when you first came in, your hands were very cold, which indicated poor blood flow. Improving circulation was a key part of the treatment. Sarah (18:45) Exactly. My hands aren't cold anymore, and I feel so much healthier overall. The blood flow improvements and supplements were game-changers.   Michelle (19:58) Blood flow is essential for nourishing the body and supporting fertility. In Chinese medicine, when the blood isn't circulating well, it can cause stress and other issues. Supporting the body holistically allows it to do what it's meant to do naturally. Sarah (22:33) I agree. Another big takeaway for me was learning that not all clinics or protocols are the same. Switching to a more supportive clinic and waiting for my body to recover before the frozen embryo transfer were critical steps. Patience and intuition played huge roles.   Michelle (23:44) Your intuition and persistence were key. And I'll admit, when I first met you, I had a feeling you'd be successful. But I always try to stay neutral because I never want to give false hope. It's about supporting the process and trusting your body.   Sarah (24:26) Thank you for believing in me. That belief made such a difference, along with everything I learned about visualization and spirituality. I've come to realize how powerful those tools are.   Michelle (29:23) It's true. Visualization and faith are incredibly powerful. Thank you so much for sharing your story, Sarah. Your journey will inspire so many others who are navigating similar challenges.   Sarah (30:02) Thank you for having me, Michelle. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share my story and hopefully give hope to others. Never give up—the results are worth it.   Michelle (30:30) Absolutely. Thank you again for opening your heart and inspiring others.
