Josh shares his story of walking away from God, encountering Jesus again in late high school, and the 7–8 year journey from sensing a call to finally stepping into pastoral ministry.

And the power of the Lord was with him to heal.  18.  And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,  19.  but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.  20.  And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”  21.  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”  22.  When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 23.  Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, ‘Rise and walk'?   24.  But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”  25.  And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.  26.  And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”       (Luke 6:17-26 ESV)

Ask Rachel anythingWhen Brooklyn Beckham publicly announced he didn't want to reconcile with his parents he was joining a painful catalogue of family stories that have gone wrong. Estrangement is reportedly on the rise in Western societies but what's behind it? Dr Joshua Coleman spends his life working with estranged parents so he sees, first hand, the main factors that can lead to it. He highlights that while emotional abuse is often cited as a cause, it's often a matter of unmet expectations and generational differences. Some of the core drivers are divorce, children marrying someone who doesn't get on with your family, social media ideals, therapy culture and individualism. Given that estrangement can be emotionally devastating for parents, leading to feelings of isolation and loss, he advises parents to take their children's complaints seriously and to be open to therapy and family discussions.  Dr Joshua Coleman:Family Troubles: https://joshuacolemanphd.substack.com/https://joshuacolemanphd.substack.com/p/how-to-not-become-estrangedhttps://www.drjoshuacoleman.com/Teenagers Untangled Community Substack:https://teenagersuntangled.substack.com/Support the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit.

Sapphic Adolescent Girls in Irish Young Adult Fiction: Queering Girlhood (Routledge, 2025) is the first sustained critical analysis of the representation of sapphic adolescent protagonists in contemporary Irish Young Adult (YA) literature. Ten YA novels published between 2017 and 2023 by both well-established and emerging Irish female authors are examined, analysing sapphic characters to demonstrate how Irish YA literature can transform and re-imagine sapphic literary representations. This book offers a critical evaluation of how lesbianism and bisexuality have been introduced into Irish YA literature, while also addressing the significance of racism, religion, violence against women and girls, friendships, and parental abandonment in shaping queer identities. This study is ideal for postgraduates and academics in the fields of Irish Studies, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, and Queer Studies, as well as students interested in YA literature, comparative literature, and contemporary literature.

Join us this week on “Honest to God” as we bring back a special Valentine's Edition of What's on Your Mind? In this rerun of a favorite episode, we revisit a heartfelt and light-hearted conversation about love through a Catholic lens—romantic love, authentic friendship, self-gift, and the deeper call to charity that flows from the Sacred Heart of Christ. From dating and marriage to vocation and sacrificial love, this episode reflects on what it truly means to love well in a culture that often settles for less. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or tuning in again, we hope this conversation inspires you to see Valentine's Day as more than a holiday—but as a reminder of the love we are all created for.Follow us on Instagram:@honesttogod_quest Check out our parent network:https://thequestatlanta.com/honesttogodListen On Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/honest-to-god/id1644393955Listen On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVcw6wX03ezNwowTeE6wf?si=34c6ee021e2347fe

This book offers a critical evaluation of how lesbianism and bisexuality have been introduced into Irish YA literature, while also addressing the significance of racism, religion, violence against women and girls, friendships, and parental abandonment in shaping queer identities. This study is ideal for postgraduates and academics in the fields of Irish Studies, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, and Queer Studies, as well as students interested in YA literature, comparative literature, and contemporary literature.

In this week's Sermon Extra, Pastor Nick and Intern Timothy Smith discuss Nehemiah 6 and what it means to discern and prioritize the callings God places on your life.How do you know the difference between a good opportunity and a great calling? And how do you stay focused when distractions — even good ones — try to pull you away from what God has asked you to do?We explore the tension between God's will and specific callings, looking at Nehemiah's response to opposition as a model of clarity and obedience.Tim also shares his journey into ministry — serving at White Fields, leading in Young Adults, and pursuing seminary — and how God shapes calling over time.If you've ever wondered what to prioritize or how to stay faithful to what God has put in front of you, this conversation is for you.

On this episode of the Visual Intonation Podcast, filmmaker Shana L. Darabie joins the mic with a voice shaped by image, genre, and deep interior listening. Born in Long Beach, California and based in Brooklyn, Shana traces a path from fashion design to film, from texture and silhouette to shadow and story. Her early training at the Fashion Institute of Technology sharpened her eye. Her later studies at Brooklyn College gave language to the images she could already see. Shana speaks plainly about process. About doubt. About the courage it takes to be vulnerable on the page. She reflects on how a single class project unlocked her desire to direct, how long treatments can sit before a script finally arrives, fast and fully formed. Science fiction and horror are not escapes for her. They are tools. Ways to explore fear, identity, and the systems that press on the mind. Films like The Trail, What Happened to Candice, and Trouble Connecting reveal a filmmaker committed to atmosphere and emotional truth. In conversation with host, the dialogue widens. Mental health moves to the center. Not as an abstraction, but as lived reality. They discuss how cinema has portrayed mental illness with care or cruelty, how poverty and access shape outcomes, and why compassionate storytelling matters. Shana opens up about her short Canary Trap, community support, and the quiet power of creative connection, whether formed in a writers room or over Zoom. The episode closes with reflection and recommendation. Films that linger. Films that listen. Shana shares titles that have shaped her way of seeing, including Tully, The Snake Pit, Young Adult, Welcome to Me, Perfect Blue paired with Millennium Actress, and Year of the Dog. It is a conversation about making work that resonates personally. About art as self care. About staying rooted while reaching toward the unknown.    Shana L.

What matters most for young adults today—empathy, loyalty, or something else? We all carry assumptions about young adults, often without realizing it. In the first episode of our Assumptions in the Church series, Jacque and Stacy sit down with JG Motice for a wide-ranging, meaningful conversation that touches on Gen Z's approach to truth-telling, technology, authority, and more. This episode invites us to listen across generations, ask better questions, and remember that God designed the Church to be intergenerational. Come learn, reflect, and be curious with us.

Cruising as an older teen or young adult can feel… awkward. You're too old for the kids club, not quite an "adult cruiser," and trying to figure out if cruising is actually fun at 18–25.

We cover: Whether cruising feels awkward at this age (and why) How cruising changes as you grow up What an average day on a cruise ship looks like for 18+ The parts of cruising we don't love What we wish more people understood about cruising The best cruise destinations for teens & young adults Dream travel destinations (cruise and non-cruise) Cruise fashion tips Packing tips, including: Top 5 must-pack items Bonus items that make cruising way better If you're 18+, cruising without kids clubs, or traveling as a young adult and wondering if cruising is worth it — this episode is for you.

When your teen is engaging in self-destructive behaviors, what you usually see is the tip of the iceberg. You see the cutting, the substance use, the school refusal, the shutdowns or blowups, and it's scary, confusing, and exhausting. But what's happening underneath those behaviors is often invisible. Big emotions. Overwhelm. Shame. Anxiety. A nervous system that's trying to survive. And when all you can see is the behavior, misunderstanding and frustration are almost inevitable.In this episode, I'm joined by therapist, author, and DBT clinician Katie May to help parents slow down and start understanding self-destructive behaviors in their teen or young adult kid through a very different lens. One rooted in the idea that all behavior makes sense, especially when you understand what it's doing for them.We talk about the iceberg analogy and why focusing only on the “tip” keeps parents stuck in fear, power struggles, and reactivity. Katie helps decode behaviors like self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance use, and school avoidance as attempts to regulate overwhelming emotions, not attention-seeking or manipulation.Let's have a look at how to respond to destructive behaviors in ways that reduce shame, build trust, and create the conditions for real change.In this episode on understanding self-destructive behaviors, we discuss:The iceberg analogy: why behavior is only the tip of what's really happening;What “all behavior makes sense” actually means for parents;How emotional dysregulation fuels self-harm, substance use, and school refusal in teens and young adults;Why parents often get stuck reacting to behavior instead of responding to their child's needs;How your own regulation as a parent can de-escalate intense situations;Validating your teen's emotions without excusing harmful behavior;How boundaries, connection, and repair work together;And more!More about Katie MayKatie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and wrote the #1 Amazon best-seller You're On Fire, It's Fine. With lived experience as a teen who turned to self-harm, Katie is one of only 11 Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinicians in Pennsylvania, the gold standard treatment for self-harm and suicidal behaviors. She equips parents and clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to decode behavior as survival and create lasting change. Learn more about Katie on her website: https://youreonfireitsfine.com/ or connect with her on Facebook or Instagram.Looking for support?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:If you've been waiting for the right moment to bring up the idea of getting your young adult some support, and you're not sure how to do it without blowing up every landmine between you, this episode is for you. Joanna Lilley, therapeutic consultant and host of the podcast Success is Subjective, is back on Hopestream, and she's pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to help a young adult move toward help. Joanna works exclusively with the 18 to 29 crowd, and her approach is deceptively simple: meet them where they are, agenda-free, not where your fear wants them to be.What makes Joanna's process so potent is the way it preserves a young adult's agency at every step. There's no attempt at maneuvering them into a decision or finding the magic words that finally crack them open. It's about creating the conditions where they feel like the architect of what comes next, and why that buy-in matters more than the program itself. Joanna also gets real about what she's seeing shift in the treatment landscape right now, including why young adults are staying longer in programs, how the complexity of what's showing up has changed dramatically, and what questions parents actually need to be asking before you commit to anything.When you listen, you'll learn:Why some young adults may have a deeply distorted picture of what treatment looks like, and how to gently disrupt that narrative without pushing them further awayHow Joanna structures her first conversation with a young adult so it feels like a genuine exchange rather than a formal ‘intake' processWhy giving your young adult the choice of who to work with matters just as much as the choice of where to goWhy it's wise to start the ‘what might treatment look like' process before you think you need to and what it might cost you if you waitEPISODE RESOURCES:Joanna Lilley (Lilley Consulting) websiteJoanna on Hopestream podcast episode #208 Joanna on Hopestream podcast episode #39This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.
