    For me, hearing from Cynthia in the “next stage” of parenting is so helpful. I love hearing that she enjoys her teenagers, struggled like I did with some of the little kid stuff, and most of all I love hearing about her mother-daughter relationship as I have three girls! This show gives me hope and perspective as well as encouragement in Christian parenting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 144: Understanding Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating with Sallye Clark
Q: How can someone start the conversation with a loved one about concerns without making things worse?
Lead with curiosity, express observations without accusations, check in about changes in interests or activities, and encourage seeking professional guidance; emphasize that you're there for support and to help, not to shame.
Episode 144: Understanding Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating with Sallye Clark
Q: What early signs should families watch for in a loved one's relationship with food?
Rigid food rules, constant planning around meals or exercise, preoccupation with calories, and social withdrawal or missing out on activities due to food concerns can all be early indicators warranting a check-in and possible professional assessment.
Episode 144: Understanding Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating with Sallye Clark
Q: What are the biggest misconceptions people have about eating disorders or disordered eating?
Common misconceptions include judging by looks or body size, assuming weight restoration solves everything, or thinking it's simply about lack of willpower; in reality, there are complex underlying factors, and recovery requires addressing mental health alongside physical health.
Episode 144: Understanding Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating with Sallye Clark
Q: Is an eating disorder the same thing as disordered eating, and what's the difference?
Disordered eating is an umbrella term for unhealthy eating behaviors like chronic dieting, food restriction, or labeling foods as good or bad. An eating disorder is a more severe, day-to-day impairment with medical considerations, such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.
Episode 139: Wrestling with God through Loss and Disappointment with Tiffany Stein
Q: Kick us off by telling us kind of your story.
Tiffany Stein shares the intimate journey from the birth of her son with a fatal heart condition, through his 53 days in the NICU, to his death, and the subsequent spiritual doubt that followed, which led to writing Mourning God as a way to process grief and reframe her understanding of God's presence.
