Where do our kids learn what they're worth – and how do we guide them toward the truth that their value comes from God, not achievements or approval? Today, Amy and Marissa are joined by returning guest Margaret Sharpe to talk about how the question of worth shows up at every stage of childhood, from early elementary through high school. Together, they unpack the lies that kids often believe about themselves, how those lies evolve as kids grow, and how Scripture speaks directly to the questions our kids are asking – even when they can't find the words for them. You'll also get a sneak peek into WinShape Camps' upcoming theme for summer 2026, ASCEND: Encounters with the Holy God, and walk away with gospel-centered truths to help your kids (and yourself) rest in the worth God has already given.--WinShape Camps 2026 Theme Preview: Ascend--Question of the Week: What do you think that God thinks about you?--Hosts: Amy Lowe & Marissa RayGuest: Margaret SharpeProducers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun--Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!Instagram: @WinShapeCampsTikTok: @WinShapeCampsFacebook: @WinShapeCamps Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this soulful and unfiltered conversation, singer-songwriter Mike Maimone—a former accountant turned queer creative force—shares how love, loss, and midlife reinvention shaped his music and life. From finding love across an age gap with late partner Howard Bragman, to channeling grief into his upcoming album and book, Guess What, I Love You (out February), Mike opens up about rediscovering purpose after heartbreak. Together, Rick and Mike dive into healing, queer resilience, and what it means to live unapologetically authentic—no fears, no excuses, no apologies. Three Key Takeaways Reinvention knows no age limit: Mike's switch from accounting to full-time musician proves it's never too late to follow your authentic rhythm. Love isn't defined by age—it's anchored in shared values and authenticity; Mike and Howard's story shows how connection outlasts external assumptions. Grief can become creative fuel: Mike transformed loss into art, launching an album and book that honor memory by turning pain into performance. About Mike Originally a business school graduate and accountant, Mike Maimone made his way into full-time music through Chicago's blues scene, drawing comparisons to legends like Randy Newman and Leon Russell. He has since performed more than 100 shows annually, appearing at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, and Summer Camp, while sharing stages with Blues Traveler, Plain White T's, and Company of Thieves. His music has been placed on TV soundtracks and even featured at Wrigley Field. In 2023, Maimone released Borrowed Tunes, Vol. 2, followed by sold-out shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, with proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project. A live album, Songs for You, Alive in Chicago, followed in early 2024. His forthcoming album Guess What? I Love You, available for pre-order in limited-edition vinyl and CD formats, will include handwritten lyrics, liner notes, and photos, further underscoring the deeply personal nature of the project.

How embarrassing, lil onions. Today, the siblings are unpacking a comedy of errors, and not even Nancy Meyers can keep them completely hypnotized with her charming writing: It's The Parent Trap (1998). Ross is obsessed with the film's iconic soundtrack and the biconic coupling of Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson. Carie chokes on her rage over parents who are attentive yet somehow don't understand when a child has been replaced. Most of all, the siblings are impressed by the talent of little Lindsay Lohan in the role that brought us all her Macauley Culkin charms. SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
We head to South Africa to start this week. Two South African men vanished from separate hospitals in recent years - only to be discovered days later, their bodies found in the strangest of places. Official explanations have never added up. Were they murdered? And if so… was their murderer human? Or something else entirely? Then we'll head to England, where, perched high above the sea on the island's northeast coast, the ruins of Whitby Abbey have stood for nearly fourteen centuries - silent, watching, and supposedly haunted.Then, a Veteran shares with us his tale of something from the other side reaching out and grabbing him. Who did this soldier show up with as he was not alone. Lastly, a young girl moves in a new home that she immediately hates. What lives there and why does it hate her so much?

Some ghost stories chill you. Others make you question reality itself. t begins with a listener who nearly died as a child—her body still, her mind floating toward a blinding white light. When she finally gasped for air six minutes later, something inside her changed forever. From that moment on, she saw things others couldn't: phantom footsteps, bathroom doors that opened themselves, and a haunting that may have begun the night her grandfather died in her bed. Then—Laura from Halifax recalls a summer day camp unlike any other. One quiet, pale boy sat talking to empty air… until she asked who he was speaking to. What followed—his sudden trance and whispered answers, “Eighteen… nineteen…”—left her paralyzed with fear. From out-of-body experiences to ghostly déjà vu, from possessed children to eternal road accidents—these aren't campfire tales. They're proof that sometimes, the line between life and death is only a heartbeat long. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHighway #GhostChild #PossessionStory #ParanormalPodcast #TrueGhostStory #CreepyEncounters #HauntedCanada #PhantomRider #AfterlifeProof #SupernaturalExperiences #GhostStoriesOnline Love real ghost stories?

In this chilling fourth chapel session of summer 2025, we delve into the harrowing story of the demon-possessed man from the Gadarenes, a man consumed by multiple demons, illustrating the stark battle between good and evil. We explore the biblical account of his encounter with Jesus, the powerful exorcism that followed, and the profound lesson about the dangers of dabbling in the supernatural. This sermon underscores the importance of true faith, prayer, and scripture in accessing the divine realm, while warning against engaging with dark spiritual forces. The message culminates with a significant choice: to embrace change and share the gospel as the freed man did, or to reject the transformative power of Jesus.
