Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim talks about creating a media-safe home. Is technology use, especially social media, bringing your family closer together or farther apart? I have two estranged adult kids. I set some boundaries and now I can't see my grandkids. Should I try to make amends with them? My fiancée's brother is a drug and alcohol abuser, he is in and out of rehab and won't get help for his mental issues. His mother enables him; how can my fiancée talk to her about it? Recently my wife left me while I was out of the country and served me with divorce papers. In the past I betrayed her and went to Every Man's Battle; is it too late to pursue her to reconsider the divorce? Is there hope for my daughter to cope with her verbally abusive ex on a court-appointed parenting app? The app isn't monitored, so he just says whatever he wants, and she has constant PTSD from his abuse.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui encourages us that it’s not too late to start over again when you’re older. Some of the teachings in our new church make me uneasy and anxious; my 20-year-old daughter is dating the pastor’s son. Is my issue with the church or with me letting go of my daughter? How does one move from shame and guilt over past mistakes? How do I accept my 5-month separation that may be headed to divorce? We have only been married four years. I had childhood abuse, and my wife was bounced between 40 foster homes in her youth. Would counseling or coaching be the better fit for parents of an adult child who is neurodivergent?

Golden-cheeked Warblers, Black-throated Green Warblers, Townsend's Warblers, and Hermit Warblers share similar songs and plumage. Though they all breed in different areas of North America, they can often be found flocking together on wintering grounds in Central America. Genetic studies have confirmed what their family resemblance suggests: these four warblers are closely related and likely shared a common ancestor before the last Ice Age. And as sister species often do, they all put a unique twist on that bright, buzzy song. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. John discusses the three programs at Townsend Institute for Leadership and Counseling. A 19-year-old boy from my youth group has lived with me for four years, along with other kids. He is extremely traumatized and shut down after witnessing his grandfather murdered by his dad; how can I break through to him? My wife has invited some of her family to live with us and it’s cramped and not what I agreed to. I know God hates divorce; what do I do? My young teen grandson is viewing porn and his sister is sexting. We will be visiting next week and taking care of them; how can we help them? I am in my 70s, live alone in a motor home, and have lost everything precious to me, including my daughter dying of a fentanyl overdose and my dog who was accidentally killed. How do I deal with my grieving?

In this episode, host Daniel Raimi invites podcast guest Amy Townsend-Small, a professor at the University of Cincinnati, to illuminate the history, environmental impact, and cultural significance of gas-powered streetlights. These functional fixtures lend old-time ambiance to historic districts in cities like Boston and Cincinnati, but their aesthetic comes at a cost: gas lamps leak methane at a wasteful rate, and these charming relics can drain cities of hundreds of thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance. By integrating her field research on streetlights with cultural and historical context, Townsend-Small localizes the numbers behind gaslight emissions—and sheds light on the sentiments that might have allowed them to persist, even as fuel-efficient electric alternatives become more affordable and available.

We sat down with the Director of Rowing at Radley College and double Olympian who has been leading the programme of a hugely successful schoolboy rowing team for a decade - Sam Townsend. Radley has most recently won the National Schools Regatta after 25 years of gold drought. We discussed the nature of multifaceted challenges that come with running a squad of 150+ athletes and how to prepare them for a life outside of rowing, too.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares about Father's Day and estranged children. Ask yourself, “Can I accept who the other person is and not who I would like them to be, and can I make that first move towards peace?” I was estranged from my 22-year-old son for over 2 years, and now we're reconciled. Don't give up–pray! I moved back to help my elderly dad who has cancer. I haven't spoken to my brother in years; what can I do to get us back together? After prison and living in a sober living house, I have been sober for over a year. How can I begin to repair things with my partner? He has been so supportive but has huge trust issues. I've tried to set a boundary by asking for a separation, and my emotionally abusive husband said if I don't like it, file for divorce. What should I do as a Christian?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri shares that her mother recently got an infection after surgery, and a nurse recognized her and shared that she had been listening to New Life for 30 years! It was an answer to prayer for God to send someone to take care of her mom. Should I give my friend more time to reconcile with her daughter? She set boundaries in their relationship because she felt their conversations always centered on her daughter’s views about her father or God. I've had a neighbor harassing me for 17 years. I moved away and now rent out the property, but the harassment continues. How do I handle ongoing conflict and protect my peace? I've struggled with pornography addiction since I was a teenager, and I’m tired of hurting my wife the last 17 years. What are the next steps?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses the book of Habakkuk and trusting God’s timing. God often takes longer than we expect, but He is never late. My 28-year-old daughter and husband have both been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. They spend so much time on their screens. How do I know when their mental health struggles are legitimate concerns versus excuses for excessive screen time? I just found out that my daughter was sexually abused as a child by my son. My other daughter told me about it. How do I support my daughter, address family trauma, and begin the healing process? I’ve been in a dating relationship for 7 years. I don’t like him having dinner with a former female coworker every other month; am I being too sensitive or is it a legitimate concern?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses how she just went to the optometrist for a new prescription, and it reminded her of change. The optometrist said not to switch back to old glasses. If you're not seeing things clearly, it's worth doing things you might not feel comfortable with to get to the other side. Why do I feel guilty to divorce my husband of 8 years who has a newborn baby with another woman? We’re leaders in our church. A couple in my church just discovered their 14-year-old son wrote a book about sexual assault, and they're very concerned. What can this couple do next? My ex-husband lied to the church about me and said I was the problem. Even my pastor thought I was making up things about him.

Later, Catherine Townsend, President and CEO of the Trust for the National Mall, joins the program to discuss the importance of preserving America's most iconic public space. Townsend highlights ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the National Mall and Memorial Parks, the role these landmarks play in American history, and what visitors can experience when exploring the nation's front yard.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses a new term, digital dementia, which shows how excessive screen time can negatively affect the brain, even in young people. What can we do? She shares 3 ways parents can teach their children self-control and healthy screen habits. How do we help restore the relationship between my 24-year-old stepdaughter and my husband? He wasn't able to help her pack her car for a move with her boyfriend, and she got very upset. How do I address my son and daughter-in-law who let my 4-year-old grandson wear a dress? He recently drew a picture of himself wearing a dress. My twin sister and I are struggling with how involved to get with our oldest sister. She has bipolar disorder and lives by herself after our parents died.

Kids hear the word "respect" all the time, but hearing it and understanding it are two very different things. In this episode, Glyn Ann Townsend joins Chip to discuss how respect is taught through culture, consistency, and example, rather than endless lectures. They talk about why repetition eventually stops working, how school culture reinforces respectful behavior, and why alignment between parents and instructors is critical for developing strong character.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses a time when her husband was younger and took psychedelics and experienced demonic activity, then she shares more about her newest book, 100 Days of Biblical Family Engagement. I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life, and it’s getting worse; how can I become free so I don’t pass my anxiety onto my kids? There are times when I feel like no one cares; is there any way I can overcome these negative thoughts? Does the Bible say anything about having a premonition about your death? My son talked about dying, and then he died ten days later in an accident. I was the paramedic on the scene and was so traumatized that I can't even remember his funeral. How can I heal from this grief and trauma?

Mary welcomes back author, prophecy student and researcher Scott Townsend to talk about the converging and stage setting that is exploding, intensely, all around us. Maybe alien disclosure conversation is uncomfortable but there is value to at least enter the chat on some level because the world is talking about it, and in terms of the church no less. What does a Hollywood director understand about the church? Not much it turns out. Something big is coming nevertheless, and we need to be ready as a church, and as individuals. What does that look like, and will we be so exhausted by nonsensical headlines that we miss the forest for the trees? We also talk about Ai and since it is blazing out of control, how can we work with it, go around it, and in general not fear it? A full hour of free-range chat with a thoughtful prophecy student.     Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky talks about how to move out of the state of denial. When we stay in denial, we discount what God has done and what He is going to do. Lamentations 3:22-23 is a great truth to hold on to. I have had depression since childhood because my mom committed suicide when I was 12. Even though I see a counselor, I don't have any relief because I look around and see people with parents, but my mom is gone. I've struggled with porn since I was exposed as a child. My wife knew about it, but we didn't talk about it at length. It was revealed again weeks ago and my wife was crushed. Where do we go from here? How do I get unstuck when my wife and son live in another part of the country, my mom and dad have passed, and my brother committed suicide 4 years ago? My husband devastated me by saying he wasn't in love with me.

Caller Questions & Discussion: In today's world, with so many voices, Becky asks: who are we believing? Let's go to God's Word first and believe what we read. My dad gets angry with my mom when she doesn't spend time with him during our trips to Europe to visit my mom's family. Is there anything I can do? Should I confront my husband if he lied to my 21-year-old daughter after she asked him if he had ever been unfaithful? I'm 57 and married to a wife I love, but I'm in a sexless marriage. While I'm grieving this, it's incredibly difficult.

Finding a needle in a haystack would seem like a minor endeavor compared to what today's federal systems managers must face. Let's take a stab at a correct farmyard analogy – the haystacks double in size every day and are moving. That sounds like an exaggeration, but recent reports show that nine million zero-day exploits are released every day. AI is putting malicious actors on steroids. Chris Townsend, Global Vice President of Public Sector at Elastic, discussed the company's role in federal cybersecurity and data management. His argument is, essentially, that cybersecurity is a data problem. If threats are viewed from that perspective, the more data you can bring into your security environment, the more effective you are at defending it. Elastic enables security operations analysts      who are responsible for detecting threats to keep up with today's tlandscape and cyber-attack velocity. Elastic's platform and tools     can reduce false positives and help federal security operations centers (SOCs) prioritize valid threats. Townsend highlighted Elastic's agentic AI tools, which help SOC operators prioritize and remediate threats, reducing mean time to detect and respond.  Elastic's partnership with CISA for a managed  Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) as-a- service was also mentioned, emphasizing the importance of standardizing data for effective AI-driven cybersecurity. Townsend goes on to articulate Elastic's launch of a SIEM-as-a-Service offering for federal civilian agencies, featuring Elastic Security on Elastic Cloud. SIEMaaS delivers a cloud-based platform for next-generation, AI-powered threat analytics, incident response, and open-standards-based cybersecurity data ingestion. Here is a link to Chris' blog describing     CISA's SIEMaaS offering and how it supports federal agencies' cybersecurity posture while reducing costs

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares about her newest book 100 Days of Biblical Family Engagement and the power of reading the Bible together as a family—how it can draw us closer to God and strengthen relationships at home. How do I navigate heavy emotions while struggling with infertility? My husband had an affair during our separation, and we both acted out sexually. Now we're trying to heal while facing infertility. My husband had a stroke, and I need to work full time. I was recently terminated after 9 years with my company. How do I move forward at 70 years old when I feel rejected and overwhelmed? My daughter won't let me see my 10-year-old granddaughter. I don't know what I did. What can I do when faced with family estrangement after losing my husband and my son?

Thomas Duncan sits down with Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend and Thomas and former Scotland captain Lisa Martin step in for Tom and Andy and discuss the Scotland head coach's 36 - man squad that will take on Argentina, South Africa and Fiji in the new Nations Championship tournament in July. Is this the biggest challenge Scotland have faced in his time in charge given the opposition and travel they'll take on in such a short space of time? And what will these three Scotland games tell us about Scotland's potential in the World Cup? This week, Thomas and Lisa have you covered.

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares that when you “delight yourself in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4). God places His desires within you and brings them to fruition in His timing. I just attended Every Man's Battle, and my biggest takeaway is that I need to connect with God, myself, and other people. One practical way I'm doing that is through journaling. My therapist asked me to send her screenshots of some songs I've written, and she said she could use AI to help complete them. Should I share unfinished personal work? Why would she want AI to finish something for me? In 2023, I attended Every Man's Battle because my fiancée confronted me. I’m from Guyana and so grateful. How does God view my ex-husband? During a very difficult season 6 years ago, he had an affair, eventually married the woman he was involved with, and they're very happy. I was married for nearly 20 years and have been divorced for two years. I discovered that my ex-husband behaved inappropriately with my young niece, and now he has remarried. Should I warn his new wife?

We talk about the Kenosha Public Library System with Sarah Townsend, Library Director, and Suzette Jaskie, President of the Kenosha Public Library Foundation.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares that June is Men's Health Month, highlighting how many common myths can prevent men from seeking help for mental health challenges, emotional health struggles, and relational issues that deeply impact families. My friend told me that my husband might be a narcissist. He likes to be left alone, doesn't do much with the kids, and likes to keep stuff even though we don't have room. Is he a narcissist? I just found out that my husband took our daughter into a crack house when she was 7 or 8 and allowed her to be sexually abused. How can I approach my daughter 30 years after this happened? My stepson moved to live with his girlfriend in Spokane, and he won't speak to the family anymore. Where do I go with this? How am I able to move forward if my husband had a child with another woman? He cheated 2 months before we got married!

Talking with psychologist, Dr. Tiffany G. Townsend was truly a joy! One of the reasons I think I enjoyed it so much is because (by my own admission and maybe my husband’s observations, lol!) I can be a bit of a Debbie Downer sometimes. Meaning, when confronted with the realities of the world’s problems, it … Continue reading Episode 356 – Tiffany G. Townsend

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares strategies for responding to someone who is reactive. I told my mom to stop texting me because she keeps bringing up the past, and I can’t mentally handle it. My dad sexually abused my sister and killed her. What can I do to improve my dating relationships? I'm 50 years old. The conversation about marriage comes up, but they never take the next step. I want to date with purpose. I have a terminal illness; my 39-year-old son lives with me and doesn't have many in-person relationships. I worry about what will happen with him when I'm gone.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim shares a recent conversation he had with Dr. Neil Clark Warren, in which he asked, “What's the secret to a good relationship?” He said, “You have to be flexible, and when you're adaptable, you do better.” Dr. Jim discusses positive adaptability. Based on research by Gottman, a healthy marriage has a ratio of 5 positive interactions to 1 negative interaction. How do I convince my wife that she needs to go to counseling in order to heal? Do I drag her to counseling, or does she need to go on her own? We've been married 12 years and have 3 children. I feel like she's avoiding counseling because of her childhood trauma. How do I handle giving my granddaughter money for her high school graduation? She never thanks me when I give her a gift, and I want her to understand it's important for her to thank me. I lost my father tragically in the 1990s because he was an alcoholic and had a heart attack in the home of his mistress. I took my kids out of school and stayed away from my support group because I was filled with shame. Can you help me understand why I had so much shame?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice discusses how some of us may experience “death wishes” toward others and outlines three practical steps to take when we feel the urge to harm ourselves or wish harm on someone else. What can I do if I don't feel I love as I should when people express love for me? I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother, but I struggle with depression, and the medication I take makes me numb. What do I say to my 43-year-old son with schizophrenia who hears God telling him he will be healed if he shaves his head and gives things away? How do I process my hatred toward my husband of 24 years? He has been emotionally abusive and withheld support and affection from me, and he does what he can to make me miserable. We are divorcing.

This episode is a throwback to our very first season as a tribute to Mr. Matt Arrieta who recently passed. Matt was a cowboy's cowboy and always rode for the brand. We hope you'll enjoy this blast from the past and a glimpse into the life of a working cowboy. Rest easy Matt, and we hope you're finding plenty of good horses to ride.

In this episode of Skip the Queue, guest host Olly Reed from Navigate is joined by Rob Comley of Chester Zoo and Simon Townsend of the Eden Project to discuss the growing impact of weather forecasting apps on visitor attractions. They discuss how simple weather icons can influence consumer behaviour, with misleading rain forecasts causing significant drops in attendance even when poor weather never materialises. Rob shares the story behind Chester Zoo's campaign calling for improvements to how weather forecasts are displayed, a movement now supported by more than 100 attractions and businesses across the UK. They discuss changing visitor behaviour, the importance of value for money, the rise of last-minute booking habits, and the role weather perception plays in decision-making. The episode also looks ahead to the campaign's upcoming discussions with the Met Office and highlights exciting developments at Chester Zoo and the Eden Project. Topics Discussed The impact of weather app icons on visitor attraction attendance How weather perception influences consumer decision-making Chester Zoo's campaign for improved weather forecast presentation The economic impact of inaccurate weather perceptions on attractions Industry support from attractions, farm shops, events, and hospitality businesses Visitor behaviour changes and the rise of last-minute bookings The relationship between weather forecasts and value for money expectations Differences in how weather affects Chester Zoo and the Eden Project The role of the Met Office and discussions around forecast communication Alternative weather forecasting models used in Europe The importance of accurate communication rather than challenging weather science How attractions adapt to changing weather patterns and climate conditions Future plans for the weather forecast campaign New developments at Chester Zoo including Heart of Africa and The Reserve lodges The Eden Project's 25th anniversary celebrations and Eden Sessions Optimism for the future of the visitor attraction sector   Show references:    Guest Host: Olly Reed - Marketing Director of Navigate https://www.navigate.agency/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigate-agency https://www.linkedin.com/in/olly-reed/   Guests:  Simon Townsend of Eden Project http://www.edenproject.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/eden-project/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-townsend-10137914/ Rob Comley - Senior Policy and Advocacy Manager at Chester Zoo http://www.chesterzoo.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/chester-zoo/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/robcomley/   Skip the Queue is brought to you by Merac.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses Psalm 37 and shares several of his observations. Discontentment, fretting, and envy make us vulnerable to more dangerous and destructive things in life. But like Paul, we must be on a journey of learning contentment. My husband and my son are in recovery from sex addiction, and my son was sharing his struggles with dating a certain woman. What's the expectation for sexual integrity for men dating in their 20s and 30s? Who would I go to for an assessment for my 34-year-old daughter? She can't find a man to marry, lashes out at people, and doesn't seem to understand how her actions hurt people. I have 18-year-old twins and a 13-year-old. I constantly talk to my kids about sex, but my husband doesn't even want to say the word. Do I back off? If porn is about emotional dysregulation; where does this fit in on the spiritual side? The devil hasn’t come up in my EMDR therapy, but Jesus has.

On this episode of The Team Chip Podcast, Glyn Ann Townsend joins the conversation to discuss why consistency between parents and instructors is so important for student success. When adults send mixed messages, kids often find the loopholes. Learn how better communication, shared expectations, and strong partnerships with parents can help students push through challenges, stay committed, and grow both on and off the mat.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses how healthy relationships are built through intentional partnership, emotional connection, and structure. By understanding your attachment style, you can learn the skills needed to develop a more secure attachment and stronger relationships. Is codependency an addiction? I tend to get into codependent relationships and then experience major periods of depression. Is EMDR therapy effective for 11-year-olds? My granddaughter was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed medication, but she hasn't taken it because she struggles to swallow pills. Can a 20-year marriage recover from repeated infidelity? My husband was involved with the same woman multiple times. I have betrayed his trust in other ways, but not through infidelity. My 18-year-old granddaughter lives with me, and I can't get her to stop using marijuana. I recently caught her and her boyfriend using cocaine that she obtained through her workplace.

Off the Sibbald Trail, just west of Sibbald Meadows Pond, I found a small pull-over and hiking trail leading into the woods to explore. With just a few hours until my flight back for this first trip I decided to pop in for a quick listen, to hear what might be singing in this unnamed mountain forest. (I still don't know a name for this trail, but it is part of the Lusk Ridge hills.) Credits Songbirding: Kananaskis Country is a Songbirding Studios production.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Avoidant tendencies can keep us from speaking up for ourselves when someone is hurting us. We think that we can love our perpetrators out of their behavior, so people pleasers are often avoiders. My mom sent me off to another state when I was 14, and during that first year, I molested my 9-year-old cousin. It was never discussed, and recently she died; how do I get past my regret? I lost both of my parents; how do I survive if I don’t have emotional security around me?

Here we are - an episode that was recorded just hours before Townsend and Preacher Man hop a plane to a country that's not exactly "next door." But, that offers a prime opportunity to think and muse on what it means to serve in mission work and to live faithfully under the truth that "to live is Christ and to die is gain."Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on? Let them know at mtpm.podcast@gmail.com !Intro music: "Royalty Free Music from Bensound" 

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim talks about overthinking in his newest book, When Your Adult Child Strays, and why parents shouldn't define themselves by their adult children's choices or be one-topic parents. My daughter-in-law told me I'm not welcome in her home after she took guardianship of my wife who suffers from schizophrenia. How do I make peace with my daughter-in-law? I have an on-again-off-again relationship with my 40-year-old daughter. When she pulls away, I don't get to see my grandchildren. How do I address this? She tells me I was a bad parent. I finalized my divorce after my husband of 38 years was physically abusive and betrayed me financially; I'm losing my home and family.

I'm continuing my exploration of Opal Day Use area along the main highway of Kananaksis Trail. This location is alongside a river and seems to be abundant with warblers, sandpipers, Columbian ground squirresl and more.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri discusses Psalm 40:2 and how that verse reminds her that no matter how covered with mud she feels, the Lord is there to pick her up. I have arthritis, use a walker, and my brother wants me to move into assisted living; however, I want to move to Phoenix, but I'm afraid. My 24-year-old son is a marine, is married, and is coping with his depression by using alcohol; my husband and I are going to see him. What do I say and what should I not say? I got divorced 7 years ago. I started drinking but have been sober for 2 years; we have a 16-year-old daughter, and I feel stuck. How do I move on?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses why many adult children are deconstructing their parents' faith and explains the three types of people who often walk away from faith: nomads, prodigals, and exiles. I left a 10-year relationship because my avoidant, live-in boyfriend refused to talk through issues, but he keeps sending nostalgic texts. What should I do to finally move on? I'm 58, struggled with substance abuse for years, and I'm finally sober, but my ADHD symptoms are becoming harder to manage. Is there still hope for recovery and mental health healing later in life? We've spent the last 10 years traveling to visit my stepchildren, but they never make the effort to come see us. Should we keep taking the high road and pursuing the relationship, or is it time to set boundaries?

This week, Tammy welcomes Will Townsend to the Catalyst podcast booth, recording live from NTT Research's Upgrade event in Silicon Valley. Will is the Chief Analyst at LoneStar Advisory and Research, an independent firm he launched after nearly a decade at Moor Insights & Strategy. In this conversation, Will shares where he's seeing AI create genuine, measurable impact beyond the pilot stage. Will also makes the case for post-quantum readiness as the next critical frontier and gives a candid look at his own hands-on science experiment with an OpenClaw mini PC — because, as he puts it, there's no substitute for getting your hands dirty.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATA.Links: LoneStar Advisory and Research Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Caller Questions & Discussion : Dr. Jill discusses thievery and jealousy and how we shouldn't let the enemy steal our internal happiness. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). I'm retired, but my husband doesn't want to go anywhere, and I'm in tears about it. In the mornings, I feel deep anxiety. Some friends invited us on a European cruise, but my husband won't go—so now I'm feeling jealous. My kids are 10 and 11. My daughter opened her brother’s computer and found sexually explicit material. What do I do? How can a pill affect your mind? I'm in my 70s, struggle with depression, and feel afraid of medication. Do I tell my kids that their biological dad is not their real father? I've had affairs and had children with two other men. My husband forgave me, but he doesn't want to tell our adult kids.

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ discusses ho’oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian practice for reconciliation and forgiveness, especially around someone’s death. The core concepts are humility, recognition of the importance of the relationship, gratitude, and being willing to forgive. My brother's wife spirals out of control every 2 years or so because of mental health issues, and has even wanted to kill him. He says he has to wait until his kids get older to leave, and his teen daughter isn't allowed to be alone with her. What are some strategies to give to my brother? I am one of 18 kids, and my identical twin sister and I were physically abused by our mom. My sister and I push people away and have a reputation of being mean; how do we stop our bad behavior? JJ shares what to expect at the Identity in Christ Webinar; he'll be talking about what God says about you, how to break free from shaming labels, and how to confidently walk in your true identity. As Father's Day approaches, can a man who couldn’t meet his expectation of being a good father actually change? Every Man’s Battle Intensive teaches it is more than changing behavior.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim answers the question: When adult children walk away from their faith, what's the answer for parents? Staying connected, loving well, and trusting God are essential. I stay in a fight-or-flight mode and have a hard time setting boundaries with my narcissistic husband, who has been physically abusive to me. And I have a 15-year-old daughter who is his stepdaughter. How do I help my wife stop enabling her adult son who struggles with alcoholism? She has been confronted by me, her responsible son and daughter-in-law, but she's resistant. What can I do to rebuild a close relationship with my 45-year-old daughter? I used to watch her kids, but she's disconnected from me now.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses when gloating causes grief. Why do I feel constant competition in my romantic relationships? I've always struggled with my faith, and I feel like it has to do with childhood traumas. We're recently married and my wife's past trauma has led her to ask me to leave and not talk to me for three months.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris discusses why we should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, as James 1:19 encourages us to. I’m going through menopause, seeing a counselor, and taking medication, but my husband isn’t dealing with it very well. How do I navigate it? God has called me to do a water fast. But with my daughter graduating sixth grade, my son graduating high school, and marriage issues, what does breakthrough look like? My husband died last year; he was a high-functioning alcoholic, was unfaithful, and was mean when he drank. How do I move forward?
