  • Thanking God!

    Thanking God for this podcast. It’s been a bomb to my soul many times. Just listened to the episode with Zach regarding the fear of man and was convicted and yet deeply encouraged.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hope + Help for PTS Care with Neal Grogan
Q: What practical steps can a new counselor take in the early conversations with someone dealing with PTSD?
Start with clear objectives, avoid chasing chaos, pray and acknowledge the pain, and gently steer the conversation toward God's character and biblical change, using gospel-centered questions to mine for hope.
Hope + Help for PTS Care with Neal Grogan
Q: Can you describe the four-context model and how it helps in counseling?
The four-context model (present, near past, past, future) provides markers to map a sufferer's experiences and to develop gospel on-ramps in each context, guiding counselors to discern what people run to for relief and how to point them toward Christ.
Hope + Help for Understanding Emotions with Brian Borgman
Q: How does Jesus meet emotional challenges for believers?
Jesus not only provides an example of emotional maturity but also serves as our Redeemer, entering into our sorrows and offering hope for transformation.
Hope + Help for Understanding Emotions with Brian Borgman
Q: How can Christians find the right balance between feeling too much or feeling too little in their walk with Christ?
Christians should recognize that emotions are a part of humanity and understand their function, helping to avoid extremes of being ruled by them or completely ignoring them.
Hope + Help for Soul Refreshment with Heather Nelson
Q: Why does unbelief hinder us from embracing and experiencing God's rest?
Unbelief prevents us from trusting that God has done everything necessary for our salvation, which is essential for reaching a state of rest.
