Why do victims of abuse refuse to leave their situation? Are they afraid that they will never find anyone else? Why can’t they just let go?

Abuse Erodes a Woman’s Mind, Identity, Self-Worth and Confidence - Karen DeArmond Gardner
Abusers know exactly how to manipulate and target their victims’ biggest weaknesses. They repeatedly erode your identity until there’s nothing left and until you’re too tired to fight back.

Six Stages of Toxin Overload in the Body: Know How to Avoid Disease - Dr. Alphonzo Monzo
God created the human body to intuitively heal itself, but in today’s modern, toxin-ridden environment, we’re constantly fighting against disease caused by inflammation. Dr. Alphonzo Monzo, a Biblical naturopathic doctor, discusses exactly what happens when toxins remain too long in the human body, describing the many stages of detox.

Heroism On Display: Marine Leaps Into Action to Rescue Trafficked Girls - Jason Nelson
In 2023, Jason Nelson and his wife were jolted from their sleep in the middle of the night when they heard screams in the hallway outside their hotel room. Little did Jason know they had accidentally stumbled upon an attempted murder and a sex trafficking ring. Jason, a retired U.S. Army soldier and former U.S. Marine, took action. At great risk to himself, a struggle ensued as he fought to rescue three women from a violent and dangerous man. Jason survived, but the cost was high. After fatally shooting the attacker, Jason endured a long legal process that eventually led to his name being cleared. Now, he’s spreading the word about the dangers of sex trafficking. He is also a testament to what it looks like to stand up for others and leap into action, even when the consequences could cost your life.

Former Abductee Reveals What Hollywood Hides About Aliens and UFOs - Amanda Llewellyn
What does Hollywood get wrong about aliens? Plenty, according to Amanda Llewellyn, the co-director of the upcoming documentary UFOs and God, a film centered on examining the modern surge of UFO sightings, the multiple tranches of government disclosures, and society’s obsession with extraterrestrials. Amanda roasts Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day for getting it wrong when it comes to the supernatural phenomena of aliens or UFOs. Amanda says that she encountered aliens and was abducted while she was growing up, and the trauma had a deep impact on her life. Thankfully, she found peace in Christ and offers tremendous insight into UFOs and aliens. This topic is often twisted and sensationalized in all the wrong ways in modern culture. TAKEAWAYS UFO or alien activity is spiritual The phenomenon of UFO sightings doesn’t take place in a vacuum Spielberg’s film presents a friendly and benign picture of aliens who are not really “demons” but are certainly demonic UFOs and God is available on September 11, 2026 at https://www.ufosandgod.com/ 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEHollywood Exposed Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/ UFOs and God trailer: https://bit.ly/4xyYxEaUFOs and God book: https://amzn.to/3SPK9bE 🔗 CONNECT WITH AMANDA LLEWELLYNWebsite: https://www.ufosandgod.com/Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Sr7UHbInstagram: https://bit.ly/46Cmr5ZX: https://x.com/ufosandgod 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYFaces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCMWaveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tinaCovenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttps://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCMMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
What Signs Will Come Before Jesus Returns? Revelation Gives Us the Clues - Robert Furrow
What keeps pastors from preaching about the Book of Revelation? Is it too complicated to understand? Is it too scary? Absolutely not! Robert Furrow simplifies the conversation about the End Times, reminding us that those who read this important book will be blessed (Rev. 1:3). Robert is the pastor of Calvary Tucson and the host of Truth Quest with Robert Furrow. He gives bite-sized answers for big questions about prophecy, breaking down the signs of the End Times, the prophecies that have been fulfilled, the prophecies that are still to come, and some basic truths about the Tribulation. The best way to interpret the Bible, Robert says, is through the Bible. Revelation is just as important as the other books of the Bible. Don’t be afraid to explore the unknown. TAKEAWAYS Revelation is often skipped over because pastors are afraid to touch it for fear of not interpreting it correctly Israel’s existence as a modern nation-state may be a sign that the End Times are near Jesus’s appearance in Revelation is very different from in the Gospels Nobody knows the day or the hour that Christ will return (Matt. 24:36), and scripture says in the Last Days, scoffers will arrive (2 Peter 3:3-4) 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3SrDcxpThe Difficult Passages in Revelation book: https://amzn.to/4cqyCX6 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT FURROWWebsite: https://calvarytucson.com/Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Spma39 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tinaEquipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/Institute for Creation Research: http://icr.org/tinaCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttps://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCMMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
From Heartache to Hope: Mother Trusts Christ in Aftermath of Son’s Suicide - Wende Gaikema
Wende Gaikema was totally blindsided when her son, Matthew, committed suicide at just 22 years old, weeks from graduating from Texas A&M University. Navigating the journey of extreme grief in the aftermath of Matthew’s death was unfathomably painful. In retrospect, Wende offers practical wisdom for many of the common issues faced by those experiencing traumatic loss. She discusses the reality of grieving with the hope of Christ - the rawness, bitterness, and pain throughout the healing process. She also highlights the need for others to come alongside those who are grieving, surrounding them for the long haul with loving arms and empathetic hearts. Wende is the founder of Coach Wende and the author of an insightful book, From Heartache to Hope: Navigating the Choices in Your Suicide Loss Journey.

Healing Journey After Satanic Lies Led to Deep Depression, Suicide Attempt - Jenita Pace
Jenita Pace was in such a deep depression that she attempted suicide and ended up hospitalized for ten days. God’s miracle was that her husband forgot his pager and went home to retrieve it, only to stop Jenita from taking her life moments before! Today, she’s a therapist and a professor, but the road to healing was not easy. Jenita talks about the long, slippery slope that can lead to suicide and the lies that we tell ourselves to justify suicide as the only option - when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Time and healing have highlighted the truth in Jenita’s life: Christians carry the Holy Spirit within them. Every human life is precious and has meaning. God can and will use anyone willing. Salvation is not earned; it’s a gift. God loves us just as we are, and in Him, we have infinite value and worth. TAKEAWAYS Jenita wrote a devotional, The Healing Name of Jesus: Find Freedom from Depression and Anxiety Often, the church misunderstands mental health and, as a result, fails to address it The lies Satan tells us are that “we aren’t worth it,” and that God “can’t use us,” but our pain is our testimony, and our story can save others Contact the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline via call, text, or chat if you need help at 988lifeline.org 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Jenita’s story video: https://bit.ly/4wI6KWx The Healing Names of Jesus book: https://amzn.to/4xnPsy5 988 Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH JENITA PACE Website: https://threeriversmn.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/threeriverscounseling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenitapace/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jenitapace8770 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Suicidal Thoughts: Exposing Satan’s Spiritual War for Our Minds - Dr. Matthew Sleeth
Dr. Matthew Sleeth is a former emergency room physician who has become one of the most influential Christian leaders in America. He is the executive director of Blessed Earth and the author of a new book, Hope Always: How to Be a Force for Life in a Culture of Suicide. Matthew talks about how he raised his kids in a Christian household, pulled the plug on screens and television, and focused hard on the Word of God. He also discusses the skyrocketing rates of suicide in America, zooming in on the magnitude of an increasingly prevalent problem. His newest book examines the spiritual forces behind suicide and how devoted Christians are far less likely to act on these destructive thoughts. God wants us to choose life, Matthew says, but Satan is constantly attempting to push humans toward death.

Find Healing After Spiritual Abuse and Rediscover Your Faith and Calling - Anna Vaughn
What are the red flags of abusive leadership? Anna Vaughn survived years of spiritual abuse while working for a charismatic but narcissistic ministry leader. After walking away from that ministry with the rest of the interns following her, she went through a period of time when she was angry at God and even questioned His character. But God was good, and He brought her through that season. Now, Anna is the director of Stirred Up Ministries and the author of Caught in the Crossfire. Anna details how she escaped past spiritual abuse, how she felt in the fallout, and how God healed her in the eventual aftermath. Anna was called to continue to work in ministry, but with new eyes and an open heart to help others heal from past spiritual abuse as well.

Fear, Intimidation and Isolation: The Warning Signs of Spiritual Abuse - Anna Vaughn
Anna Vaughn was excited to begin a new chapter of her life - working in a new job running a ministry’s internship program at just 19. Unfortunately, what ensued was several years of major spiritual abuse from the leadership of this church - an experience that has led her to where she is today: healed, whole, and transparent. Anna is now the founder of Stirred Up Ministries and the author of Caught in the Crossfire, a book that exposes spiritual abuse by recounting not just her experience, but also the experiences of others who have experienced the same abuse. Unforgiveness and bitterness hold us in bondage, but not the person who has hurt us, she shares. Anna is a testament to what it looks like to expose toxic leadership without being burdened by anger. TAKEAWAYS Unforgiveness does more damage to ourselves than anyone else Spiritual abuse signs may look like: fear, intimidation, and isolation Sometimes very charismatic leaders hide their red flags really well, but that shouldn’t stop us from exposing the abuse Spiritual abuse often goes hand-in-hand with a cult-like culture at church 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://rstr.co/kerusso/tina Valued video: https://bit.ly/4z6ZBk2 Caught in the Crossfire book: https://amzn.to/4qsl2YM 🔗 CONNECT WITH ANNA VAUGHN Website: https://www.stirredupministries.com/ YouTube: https://bit.ly/45z6IEv 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
The Wilderness Isn’t Wasted: How God Uses Hard Seasons to Grow Leaders - Jason Jensen
What do Christian leaders do in the seasons of life where they find themselves in the wilderness? What did John the Baptist do? What did Jesus do? These are the questions that Jason Jensen, the author of Formed to Lead, faithfully addresses. He focuses on the beginning of Luke 3, when the Word of God came to John in the wilderness. Why is the wilderness important? How does it cultivate growth and maturity? How can we not just survive, but thrive during those moments and learn to lean totally on God?

Jesus’ Radical Approach to Leadership: It’s Not About Power or Position - Jason Jensen
Leadership may look a little different for everyone, but for a Christian, our leadership style should be modeled after Jesus Christ. What better way to learn about the leadership approach of Jesus than in the Bible? Jason Jensen is the Vice President for Spiritual Foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. He is also the author of Formed to Lead, an important book examining Jesus’s leadership style, especially in the first chapters of Luke. Jason explores the connection between spiritual discipline and strong leadership qualities. Jason urges leadership toward reframing their assumptions about what leadership should look like: it’s not about getting a position of power; it’s about creating a positive culture and influencing others in all the right ways. TAKEAWAYS If we learn from our failures, we will perform better in the future Tender humility should be balanced with bold faith and we need both attributes to be Godly leaders When Jesus asks us to lead, we should expect character formation to happen next The Holy Spirit will help us to reform our lives as we lead 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/4woLF3b Formed to Lead book: https://amzn.to/4xT8NHr 🔗 CONNECT WITH JASON JENSEN Website: http://www.formedtolead.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jason.jensen.507027/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensenjason/?hl=en X: https://x.com/jjensenivcf 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
What’s Driving You? The Hidden Passions That Can Sabotage Your Leadership - Dave Wiedis
Most ministry leaders implode because they fail to pay attention to their internal struggles. Dave Wiedis is the author of The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage and the founder of ServingLeaders Ministries. Whether it’s self-sabotage by acting against our self-interest, hurting others, or damaging our relationship with God, Dave explains that many people are dominated by unidentified ruling passions, like seeking success, affirmation, respect, or avoiding pain or embarrassment. Such pursuits can supplant the Lordship of Christ by becoming functional idols. To lead well and avoid self-sabotage we must repent by honestly and humbly identifying our ruling passions and submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ in every area of our lives. TAKEAWAYS Whatever drives you has the capacity to control you, and human passions must never take the place of Christ in our lives Submitting to the lordship of Christ requires humility and honesty You must reflect on and heal from your past experiences that gave rise to your ruling passions to become a great leader Those who are unaware of their own ruling passions pose a unique danger as leaders 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE The Spiritually Healthy Leader book: https://amzn.to/4g9kEtw 🔗 CONNECT WITH DAVE WIEDIS Website: https://www.servingleaders.org/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
Speak Less, Listen More: How Asking Questions Will Transform Relationships - J.R. Briggs
Asking questions isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of humility, curiosity, and a willingness to learn! J.R. Briggs is the author of The Art of Asking Better Questions: Pursuing Stronger Relationships, Healthier Leadership, and Deeper Faith and the founder of Kairos Partnerships. J.R. shares his perspective that asking questions is both a unique and overlooked skill. We live in a world obsessed with thinking we know the answers to everything, and hardly think about what kind of questions we should be asking to understand more. Asking questions is a step toward building relationships, strengthening connections, and increasing our own knowledge base. The Bible, for example, is full of questions that even Jesus asked. Perhaps we should take our cue from the Word of God and emulate Jesus. TAKEAWAYS Asking questions helps us sift through information and understand it better Asking questions is also an act of humility, and we should serve more than we are served Biblical community is not the absence of conflict; it is doing what Jesus would do in the middle of it Listen more than you speak and ask more than you answer 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://rstr.co/kerusso/tina The Art of Asking Better Questions book: https://amzn.to/4ge3Phh 🔗 CONNECT WITH J.R.

Nomad Urges Us to Lead Like Jesus by Listening, Loving, Knowing People - William Owens
William Owens is a busy guy. You might catch him reading poetry or riding his bicycle across Taiwan or having dinner with new friends. But in all these journeys, no matter how big or how small, William is ready and willing to share the Gospel message with everyone he meets. William is a free-spirited traveler and the co-publisher of the Why Jesus book series. When it comes to leadership, William says that Jesus is the most profound example there is. Jesus would spend time with the Father, William points out, and then share that vision with His followers. Jesus listened to people and welcomed them into His presence. He wasn’t worried about pushing them into a singular denomination or church. He wanted to know them and them to know Him. As Christian leaders, we can learn from Christ’s example.

One Family From Every Church Could End Tennessee’s Foster Care Crisis - Kathleen Janson
Kathleen Janson was the life of the party, but it was all a facade - chasing acceptance through alcohol, drugs, and sex. Then a miraculous thing happened, Jesus met her with love and grace, offering her freedom and a whole new life. Today, Kathleen and her husband are the parents of two children adopted through the foster care system. She is the author of The Gift of Desperation: The True Story of God’s Grace Alive in a Life and the president of The One Child, whose mission is to eradicate the foster care system, one foster family at a time. There are 8,000 foster care children in Tennessee, and only 4,000 foster families stepping up. However, if one family from each of the churches in Tennessee said yes to a child, the foster care system would be eradicated. Kathleen is laser-focused on making this happen through educating and equipping the body of Christ.

Newborn’s Brain Hemorrhage Caused by Nanny Led to CPS Nightmare for Mother - Rachel Bruno
When Rachel Bruno rushed her screaming seven-week-old newborn to the hospital, they told her he had a cranial fracture and a brain hemorrhage. It was a horrifying situation, made even worse by the fact that Rachel suspected that her nanny had been the one to potentially inflict this blunt-force trauma on her son. Little did Rachel know that she was the target of an unfair CPS investigation that would result in years of polygraphs and even potential jail time if charges had been pressed. From the state kidnapping of her 20-month-old son to the trauma of watching her newborn fight for his life after such a severe injury simultaneously, Rachel is a survivor of CPS gone wrong and administrative court overreach. She is an author, speaker, and advocate who warns about the victimization that can come at the behest of the court system and the state child welfare system. TAKEAWAYS Administrative court is not a constitutional court - it is therefore very hard to get a fair trial because they make their own rules In Rachel’s case, the nanny was not investigated for abuse, even though Rachel had to endure thorough questioning Her 20-month-old son at the time was forcibly removed by CPS at 2am and given many tests and vaccines without the parents’ consent Rachel founded a non-profit organization, The Giver Of Light, keeping parents and children protected from the corrupt child welfare system 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tuttle Twins (get 15% off with code TINA15): https://bit.ly/4xLpJjL Fractured Hope book: https://amzn.to/4whb3Ho The Giver of Light: https://thegiveroflight.org/ Adoption and Safe Families Act: https://bit.ly/4z4WmK0 Couple Kills 2 Adopted Kids: https://bit.ly/4wKPShL Home School Legal Defense Association: https://bit.ly/3TYpYIQ 🔗 CONNECT WITH RACHEL BRUNO Website: https://rachelbruno.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3S0TAVg Instagram: https://bit.ly/4hlmpWR X: twitter.com/rachelbruno 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE https://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/ 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2025 Recap & 2026 Goals: https://bit.ly/2026CCM Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
Ministry Offers Critical Supplies for Foster, Kinship, Adoptive Families - Anthony Poteet
What happens when a foster family gets a phone call that three siblings need a safe place to stay immediately? What if they don’t have the supplies - like shoes, car seats, or clothing - that they need? Anthony Poteet has been through this process, and he recognized that foster care parents need a strong support system to help provide some integral items to smooth this transition. Therefore, he founded the Foster Families Assistance Network. He is the executive director of this incredible organization, which works hard to provide the items to foster families taking in kids who have been in a state of in-between, bouncing from home to home, in a chaotic world driven by the coldness of a clinical state system. Parents need to bond with these kids immediately after they arrive, not worry about getting supplies.

After Losing Daughter, Dad Dedicates His Life to Saving 60 Foster Kids - Dr. John DeGarmo
Dr. John DeGarmo lost his firstborn daughter at birth. It was a devastating moment that fueled the rest of his life - a life devoted to caring for children in the foster care system. John is the director and founder of the Foster Care Institute and the author of 13 books. He and his wife have been foster parents to more than 60 children, providing a loving household for kids who have suffered greatly amid a variety of troubled or toxic homes. John talks about the deep joy it brings by giving foster kids the gift of love and kindness. The end goal of foster care, he says, is not adoption, but reunification. However, foster care can lead to adoption in some cases, as it did for himself and his wife three times over! Between mental health problems among youth and the many kids who are struggling in horrific home environments, the next mission field for Christians may be as close as the kids next door. TAKEAWAYS There are more than 120,000 foster kids up for adoption in the U.S. John says fostering is the most rewarding but the most difficult thing he’s ever done If you can’t foster, you can get involved by donating items and clothing to kids in need, connecting with a local school, or mentoring children The local church should have programs to help foster kids - there is a huge need for this 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/41P6iIj Children in Need.

How Homeschooling and Homesteading Create Stronger Kids for Christ - Cassandra Armstrong
Cassandra Armstrong lived a life riddled with tragedy and pain. It wasn’t until her mother died that she realized something striking: she had never learned how to process her grief.

She discusses the incredible benefits of homeschooling on a homestead in the beautiful state of Maine.

Teen Evangelist Shares How to Raise Kids Who Detect Lies and Stand for Truth - Mason Smith
Trapped in a vortex of lies and addiction, Mason Smith was ready to take his own life…until Jesus intervened. He made a deal with the Lord and asked Him to give him a life worth living - a request that has been fulfilled many times over. As a young evangelist, Mason’s incredible testimony strikes a chord with teens and young adults. Despite being raised in a Christian household, he reflects on how he fell prey to the lies of the Devil, and how Christ rescued Him out of that abyss, allowing him to be in a deep relationship with his Savior, rather than a mere intellectual observer. Mason shares his advice, based on life experience, about how parents can go deep with their kids and help guide them in a way that will prepare them for real temptations and challenges they will face in life. Don’t invest in a wall of protection; invest in the child, Mason says.

Why Your Child’s Early Years Are Key for Building a Firm Faith Foundation - Jared Kennedy
Many parents who have small toddlers are also in the middle of the early stages of their careers. Between the tug and pull of work responsibilities and the demands of needy preschoolers, it can be hard to find time to sit down with kids during this difficult stage and teach them about God. Jared Kennedy has a solution: The Beginner’s Gospel Story Curriculum. His curriculum builds off his hit book of the same name.
