Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris shares how he has been working on his identity in Christ and journaling about how strong roots produce spiritual fruits. Even though it's easy to get caught up in the outcome, Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:18-19 reminds us to focus on deepening our roots in Christ. Are there any Christian spiritual resources my friend can use after her home was in a house fire? She’s going to have to live in a hotel for months. I was in a car accident 20 years ago when I was drinking, and the friend who was with me died. I'm struggling with survivor's guilt, why God kept me alive, and whether I should stay in the relationship with the woman I’m dating. My husband was unfaithful for the first 25 years of our marriage. I recently confronted him about going to a birthday party for a family member connected to one of the women he had an affair with, and I feel triggered and violated again. I get anxious when I'm around my adult kids, and I had similar feelings around my mother. What can I do about this family-related anxiety?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares an experience with her son over the weekend that reminded her that boundaries don't change the perpetrator, but they empower the person setting them. The way to establish healthy boundaries is to identify what you will not tolerate. My best friend's son remarried, and his new wife has influenced him to leave Christianity and become a Jehovah's Witness. What can I do to help her? I struggle with anxiety and feelings of not being good enough, especially when I start a new job, because my father's critical voice is still in my head. How do I move beyond this? My wife of over 40 years has given me notice of legal separation and refuses to talk to me because I become angry at her, which reminds her of her father. How can I reverse this?

Robert Townsend is a filmmaker, actor, and independent architect of late-20th-century Black cinema who proved you didn't have to wait for permission from Hollywood to tell your own story. Frustrated by typecasting, he financed and co-wrote Hollywood Shuffle (1987) on credit cards, building a sketch-structured satire that exposed casting as economic coercion. Featuring early appearances from comedians like Keenen Ivory Wayans, it became a blueprint for media self-critique. With The Five Heartbeats (1991), Townsend shifted to music melodrama, chronicling the rise and exploitation of an R&B group; though modest at the box office, it became a generational cult classic about contracts, ego, and ownership. Then came The Meteor Man (1993), one of the first Black-directed superhero films, centering community empowerment over lone-wolf dominance. Across genres, Townsend's legacy is infrastructural: independence, authorship, and the fight to control the image.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses character development using habit stacking: identifying a habit you already do and adding another habit to it. I'm 32 and feel very insecure because I'm single, have no kids, and everyone around me is married with children. How do I stop being addicted to creativity? I have bipolar I, have been to the psych ward four times, and feel withdrawal when I don't do art. How do I set boundaries with my husband of 10 years? He uses alcohol, watches porn, and won't talk through conflicts with me. I've been divorced for 5 years and have been dating a woman exclusively for 2 months, but her actions don't match her words. What should I do?

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares how to break free from old habits, behaviors, and identity patterns that keep you stuck. It has been hard for me to find housing because of incorrect items reported on my credit report. I've gone through my savings and am now living in a shelter. If God can do all things, what will it take for me to move forward? If someone is viewing and downloading child pornography online, how could that person receive counseling? Would telling a therapist automatically be reported to authorities and likely result in arrest? Brian asks the hosts if Philippians 2:12 says to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, what is needed to work out a marriage?

Grain markets are likely to remain rangebound as Prairie farmers prepare for another seeding season, according to Neil Townsend, market analyst with GrainFox. Townsend characterizes the current point in the cycle as “lower for longer,” not because prices are poised to collapse, but because sustained upside momentum will be difficult to achieve.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Special guest and clinical psychologist Dr. John Townsend discusses the Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine. My ex-husband was emotionally abusive. Now my son is getting a master's in counseling and tells me I need healing and I need to comfort him. How can I respond in love? How do I cope with vulnerability, loneliness, and feeling inferior after being bullied as a child and now being single? I recently fell victim to a scammer on a dating site. I've been married for more than 40 years, and my husband micromanages me. When he triggers me, how should I respond? Our 15-year-old grandson is transitioning to a girl. We were told not to discuss it and to use female pronouns. After I shared my concerns with my stepdaughter, the whole family cut me off.

Hour 2

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris explains that our tendency to block, defend, and deny the truth about our brokenness keeps us from fully experiencing God's goodness. What, if anything, should I do to intervene in my 81-year-old mother's shopping addiction? She likely has borderline personality disorder and has spent tens of thousands of dollars. I'm 37 and live in India. I've struggled with years of sleeplessness and significant trauma. What should I do next? My friend is a Christian with a newborn and is living with her boyfriend. She recently discovered he has a sex addiction—what is the best way to advise her? I wanted to share what helps me fall back asleep: a therapist once told me to say the Lord's Prayer ten times. Start at a normal pace, then gradually slow down.

Tom and Andy have you covered.

Michael Townsend is a researcher linked to claims of having uncovered scientific proof supporting the existence of Bigfoot (Sasquatch). His work focuses on analyzing reported physical traces, environmental patterns, and eyewitness testimony while advocating for systematic testing and biological verification. As with many such assertions in cryptozoology, discussions surrounding Townsend's claims emphasize the need for independently verified specimens, confirmed DNA, and peer-reviewed validation, placing his research within the continuing debate between field reports and accepted scientific standards.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses the three essential steps a partner who has betrayed trust must take to begin restoring it in a marriage or relationship. I went to Every Man's Battle and Intimacy in Marriage, but I have a big problem with lying, and my wife can't believe a word that I say. Our 51-year-old son lives with us, and he drinks twice a week to the point that he blacks out. I can't seem to handle the demons that come out when he drinks; how do I respond? After I discovered that my husband has inappropriate pictures of women on his phone, he said I invaded his privacy, and he doesn't seem remorseful; are there any books you'd recommend?

We are absolutely thrilled to bring you this very special episode all about one of our favorite organizations in the Smokies, Appalachian Bear Rescue in Townsend, Tennessee! Celebrating 30 years of volunteer-powered bear rescue, ABR is doing incredible work saving orphan cubs, rehabilitating them with minimal human contact, and releasing healthy bears back into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They truly are the gold standard. On a beautiful Saturday we were invited on one of their exclusive behind-the-scenes tours (only four small groups were allowed that day, we felt so honored!). We finally got to see the secluded facility where the magic happens, tucked way back in the county so the bears stay wild and never get used to people. After the tour we sat down right here at our home with the brand-new Executive Director, Greg Greico. What a genuine, passionate guy, perfect for the job! We talked for over an hour about his wild journey into bear work, the history of ABR, why these bears matter so much, and what the future holds. You're in for a treat, this one is full of hope, history, and a few “wow” moments.

My son is married to a woman he met in foster care, and the relationship is very toxic. What are some ways to help him?

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ discusses why we must do self-examination and pay attention to what's happening inside of our hearts to discover our leaks, emotional pain, and points of vulnerability. I can't confront someone in person but can put it down in writing; how do I approach it effectively? I'm in my mid-70s and dream a lot about my husband who abandoned our marriage 30 years ago; why is this still happening and how can I find healing? Last week I overheard my mom saying mean things about me and my children behind my back; is it okay for me to move on? How do I deal with my 24-year-old daughter who struggles with addiction and refuses to get help?

I called you last week, and you helped me find a counselor. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to take that step! My 19-year-old daughter is in art school and started taking testosterone; how do I approach this as a parent? What is a clinical therapist? I'm seeing a counselor, but I'm looking for the “magic bullet” to fix my marriage. My husband has Asperger's, is obsessed with the End Times, and even hands out cards; how can I navigate this?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui discusses depression and changes to look for; ask the person how they’re doing and even if they have had thoughts of suicide. My wife says she doesn't trust me anymore after she discovered I was messaging an 18-year-old woman; my wife and I haven’t kissed for years. Is it biblical for leaders in the church to call themselves apostles? I’m church shopping; is this a red flag? I've gone no contact with my parents, and my dad is in the hospital. Do I just go see him? My 27-year-old son lives with me and is having a hard time on his job as a substitute teacher; should I give him my opinion or let him figure it out?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how emotionally secure people face past experiences and commit to growth. My people-pleasing son has been married for over 20 years to a wife who dominates, he puts everyone else first, and texted us about being stressed. Do I text him back?

I want to stay connected to my sister more than she does; will I be emotionally okay to be detached after cutting her off?

Y'all - what is with everyone and this halftime show?! We don't mean your opinion on the music or the dancing or anything... just the fury and fussing and anger.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui shares how understanding your past brings clarity to your present. Any thoughts on how to combat deep trauma so I can be a healthy grandparent? I am challenged with a lot of past trauma, but worldly therapists do not seem to help. Is self-therapy okay? For example, some people are influencers who use social media to vent their emotions in videos. As an associate pastor, how do I handle feelings of disappointment and the sense of apathy within the church community? I was in an emotionally abusive marriage and have been divorced for ten years. My two teen kids don't want to date or get married; how can I change their perspective?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice asks two thought-provoking questions: Have you built the kind of life that you don't want to escape from? If not, what is keeping you from building that life? I struggle with masturbating every day and feel embarrassed about it; do you have any advice? I'm dating a man who says he was addicted to porn a year ago and has stopped; can someone fully recover from porn addiction without counseling or accountability? My daughter stayed with us and shared that her husband drinks until he passes out every time he comes home; how do I approach my son-in-law when he loves our daughter and their newborn? I'm almost 69, single, and want to share what I've learned that has helped me embrace singleness and replace self-pleasuring.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses how excessive screen time and doomscrolling can lead to “brain rot,” and how parents can set a healthy example for their kids. I'm pregnant. Do I invite my mother-in-law to my baby shower even though she didn't attend our wedding? I went to a rehab center that felt like a horror show and experienced serious health struggles. How do I regain my hope, as it says in Jeremiah 29:11? I'm not able to attend your Intimacy in Marriage Weekend; how else can we get help? There's a lot of emotional and physical disconnection in our marriage of more than 20 years.

Tom and Andy analyse Scotland's disastrous start to the Six Nations and lack lustre performance against Italy. They answer audience questions on team selection, the use of the bench, the mounting pressure on Gregor Townsend and they look forward to the Calcutta Cup.

Why did Italy look like they wanted it more? Tom and Andy chat through it all

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses one of life’s most dangerous challenges: justifiable resentment. She explains the key signs that may indicate you are struggling with it.

He is a retired cop, very controlling, and has little emotional intelligence. My husband had an affair. How do I know if God wants me to be released from this marriage or stay in it? My mom grew up in foster homes and never met my emotional needs. How can I move past my resentment and grieve what my mom can’t be?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses a simple exercise: list your fears, reflect on how they affect you, and determine if there's an action you can take.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Laura Mangin-McDonald shares how God designed us for connection and outlines three key steps we must take to heal in community. What should I do in my marriage if my husband of five years is hard to get along with? He is a veteran, complains constantly, and is very sarcastic. I called the police when my 12-year-old son with ADHD hit me in the face, and now he is sending alarming text messages about sex—what should I do? Laura previews the upcoming Betrayal Webinar and the many types of betrayal that will be addressed for the men and women who attend.

In this one-on-one conversation, I sit down with Liz Townsend, a senior partner at a global management consulting firm, Gallup-certified strengths coach, former VP of 24 Hour Fitness, former COO of MyFitFoods, and current board member of Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas. Liz has spent decades inside high-growth, high-pressure organizations, from small teams to billion-dollar brands helping leaders navigate the real challenges that don't show up on spreadsheets: mindset, communication breakdowns, unresolved conflict, cultural drift, and the personal cost of leadership. In this episode, we talk honestly about: Why company culture breaks long before the numbers do The leadership habits that quietly stall growth in small businesses How self-awareness and strengths-based leadership change the way teams perform The difference between managing people and actually leading them What strong leaders do differently when conflict shows up Why personal growth is not optional if you want to scale a business This conversation is for entrepreneurs, small business owners, executives, and team leaders who want to grow without burning out their people or themselves. It's practical, grounded, and rooted in real-world experience, not theory. If you're building something meaningful and feel the weight of leadership, this episode will help you gain clarity, reduce friction, and lead with more confidence and intention.

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ discusses the story in Exodus 18 where Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, advises Moses to delegate his responsibilities instead of handling everything alone.

During the Superbowl, what advice do you have for people who have a tendency to overindulge with food, alcohol, or betting?
