This week, I'm taking you back to a very special place in my heart, St. Augustine, Florida. My husband Frank, our 10-year-old Bruce, and I spent fall break exploring the city where I went to college. We did all the touristy things, ate amazing food, and visited the places that shaped who I am today. In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing the full-circle gratitude that came from walking through old memories with new eyes.

If you've ever struggled with believing you're enough—or wondered how to face the lies that spin in your head about who you are—this episode will remind you of one unshakable truth: you are a child of God. In this compelling episode with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams, rising artist Megan Woods shares her extraordinary story of surviving years of bullying, verbal abuse and battling self-worth to finding freedom and purpose. Megan opens up about how God turned her deepest pain into her life's calling. Megan's debut EP The Truth delivers an inspiring message of hope, identity, and God's unconditional love. You'll hear the powerful testimony behind her breakout single “The Truth,” how she learned to silence the lies with Scripture, and why her mission is to help others find their worth in Christ.

This week, I'm diving into Romans 5:1–11 (ESV), a passage that's full of hope, peace, and reminders of how deeply God loves us. During my Bible study, a few words really stood out to me: hope and reconciled. Because of our faith, we have peace with God through Jesus, our relationship with Him is restored, and we're no longer His enemies.My biggest takeaway? Because of Jesus' love and sacrifice, I'm made right with God, I have peace and hope even in hard times, and I can live with joy knowing I've been fully forgiven and restored to Him.Friend, I hope this episode reminds you that even in the trials, even in the waiting, God is working. He's not done with your story, and He's always faithful.

Have you ever been forgotten, overlooked, or felt unimportant? Long ago, Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." You may be thinking, “What does that have to do with me?” The Greek word often translated as “meek” also describes those who are not valued, those who feel left behind. If you've ever felt that way, Jesus says that in His world, you're blessed. To be meek is to be human in a way that doesn't demand attention. You can be filled with strength without shouting. You can be small, yet reflect something bigger, something real and lasting. Your life matters. Not because you demand attention, but because the God of the universe says YOU MATTER. Let Him show you your true worth. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:5 radio.hopewithgod.com

This weekend in South Texas, I was struck with a sudden wave of gratitude. For the land. For the sun. For the fresh air and good food. For friends who are more like family. For the kind of community where makeup doesn't matter, kids are loved like your own, and conversations fill your soul.In this episode, I share a story from our time dove hunting at a friend's ranch and how it reminded me that gratitude can shift everything, even in the middle of chaos.

When it comes to big life decisions, make sure you are not being overly influenced by outside voices who want something different for you.

This week's episode is short, sweet, and straight from my heart. I wasn't feeling inspired to record today, and maybe that's exactly why this message matters.In this episode, I share a moment from the other day when someone asked me, “What do you do now that you're not teaching?” and I froze. I explain how that question left me feeling less than, and how it ties into the bigger reminder we all need:

As a Christian, I wrestle with grief, shock, and the fear over how the death of Charlie Kirk could deepen political divisions. But I also hold onto hope: hope that tragedy might awaken compassion, that anger might be transformed, that we might lean into our shared humanity. Together, we'll explore what we can do: turning off the 24-hour news cycle, stepping away from social media for a bit, engaging in conversations with people we disagree with, and remembering that behind every headline, every clip, every voice is a person made in God's image. This is not about blame, or pointing fingers, or even political... It's about healing, unity, and love.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR ~

In this mini episode of You Matter, Joanne and I discuss the power of setting agreements with your patient, not just at the beginning of an episode of treatment but at every session, and even within a session. Rather than wondering, "Is this right? Are they happy? Am I doing a good job? " You get an answer in real time. Your patient gets seen and heard, and you are relieved from the pain of wondering. There are surprising benefits for both of you.Coaching Unpeeled: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/mehab/1737501Future Dates: https://tinyurl.com/4f5nh8fm

This week, I'm sharing a powerful experience from visiting our daughter at Tarleton State University and attending Timber Ridge Church with her and her friends. Watching young adults worship Jesus so boldly reminded me of my own college years and how different my story was.The message that morning centered on how Jesus multiplies our gifts, and Romans 12:7-8 deeply connected to my heart and what I'm studying in Bible study right now.I pray this conversation encourages you to lean into the gifts God has placed in you and trust Him to multiply them.

You are Loved! You are Worthy! You Matter! We forget how important those words are when we are going through a storm. I sure do! Come on in, we gotta talk about this.... Book of the Month: And Still I Rise (poem) Dr. Maya Angelou

I used to love The Biggest Loser. I thought it was motivational, inspiring, and fascinating. But after watching the Netflix documentary, my perspective completely changed. I realized how extreme the diets and exercise were, and how harmful the messaging about people and weight really was. In this episode, I share my honest thoughts, what I learned, and why it's okay to change your mind about things you once loved. Growth looks different for all of us, and that's a beautiful thing.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR:

Today, I'm sharing something that I'm doing just for me. After years of teaching and now as a mom to a child with ADHD and big emotions, I've always been fascinated by the brain, especially how trauma and ADHD affect kids.Since I'm not working right now, I decided to use this season to grow my knowledge in a way that lights me up.In this quick episode, I talk about why I enrolled in a trauma-informed practice course, how it's helping me understand kids (and myself) in new ways, and why sometimes it's important to learn simply because we want to, not because we have to.If you've been curious about something, maybe this is your permission slip to go learn it, just for you.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Jenifer Price (aka Dr. Jen)—therapist, speaker, and proud boy mom—joins me to talk about the deep connection between a mother's mental health and a child's emotional intelligence. She opens up about how personal loss led to a journey of self-rediscovery and shares practical mental health hacks for busy moms and their kids. If you've ever felt guilty for prioritizing yourself, this conversation is for you.WAYS TO CONNECT WITH DR. JEN ~

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Spiritual Detox” with discussions about the importance of taking accountability when repenting and self-control. When we come before God in repentance, we need to own what we did and humbly surrender to Him for restoration and healing. This is affirmed in Joel 2:25, where God promises to restore Israel after the plague of locusts, because they turned back to Him and repented. We then had a special guest, Dean Sikes, join us to share his story of overcoming sexual abuse. He also told us about the work he does with teenagers in trauma recovery and suicide prevention. Dean is an author and a speaker who travels the world ministering to high schoolers, providing them with words of hope. He also hosts the national broadcast You Matter Television and has authored a book called “You Matter.” We then had Drew Dyck join us to discuss the importance of biblical self-control. Drew is an acquisitions editor with Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He has also authored several books, including “Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Nationally acclaimed author and founder of the Every Monday Matters movement, Matthew Emerzian, sits down with Steve Riley to have a conversation about purpose, connection, and building a life that truly matters. Matthew's story did not begin with a breakdown. From the outside, it looked like he had it all. He lived in Beverly Hills, working in the music industry with world-famous bands like U2 and Coldplay. He traveled, enjoyed success, and was part of an exciting, fast-paced world. Then, one night after a blind date arranged by his parents' best friends, he realized something that would change the course of his life. Despite the outward success, he had no real purpose or direction. That realization sent him searching for meaning. He began therapy, which he jokingly calls his “expensive friend,” and started exploring the idea of human-centered design. He wanted to understand how to design a life that put people first, starting with himself, extending to others, and reaching into his work and the world around him. This search led him to create Every Monday Matters, a movement that inspires people to live intentionally and remember that they matter. Over time, it grew into a global message: I matter, you matter, we matter. In this episode, Matthew and Steve explore how that philosophy can transform a law practice. They discuss how “Every Monday Matters” can guide client relationships, strengthen workplace culture, and influence leadership. They talk about why empathy, self-awareness, and kindness are not just good values, but essential tools for success. Matthew shares ways to integrate these values into daily habits so they create real change. He explains how living with intention can improve both personal fulfillment and professional impact. His message is clear: when you believe you matter, it changes how you show up for everyone around you. Matthew walked away from the high life to build a more meaningful one. Today, through Every Monday Matters, he helps people discover purpose in their own lives, one intentional choice at a time. Catch Matthew Emerzian live at this year's Summit!

Today's episode is a real-time reflection, straight from the yoga mat to the mic. After taking a heated barre and yoga class, I found myself in an emotional moment connecting with younger Chrysty, the version of me who never felt like she had permission to try unless she could be perfect.I share what it looked like to give her (and myself) permission to be a beginner, to fall, to laugh, to try new things without needing to “marry” them. This episode is your reminder that growth happens when we choose courage over perfection.THANK YOU TO THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR ~

In this short episode, I am sharing a bit about a recent girls' weekend getaway! It was only 30ish hours, but it reminded me how important it is to reconnect with myself, my friends, and the woman I am outside of motherhood.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   American Conservative University Podcast (ACU) is not an official representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------
