  • Usually Interesting, Educational and Entertaining

    I have listened to your show for more than 30 years, back when Dr Paul Meier hosted it. I have learned so much about taking care of my mental health and that of my family. I have spent many hours either on the road or doing housework with the show on. I like the show most days but there’s a few things that make me turn it off. They are, too much talk about porn and EMB, several counselors telling callers to apologize to their Judson spouse when the caller is the one being mistreated, and advisin... more

Steve Arteburn and Henry Cloud and David Stoop guided me through my late twenties, and signed my recovery bible which is on the edge of my bed as I write this. It’s amazing to be able to tap into their legacy work twenty plus years later. The three today were a God shot. Absolutely life affirming. The massive takeaway is the that later in life we are subtracting things. I have NEVER heard that before and God used these three. To break of... more

    An excellent show! This morning I was looking for material to begin a 12-Step -disordered eating ministry in my city. After three hours of searching, I came across yours. It’s what I’m looking for. Thank you for your ministry. I’m familiar with Steve, and others on this podcast. Thank you for the book title suggestions, and for helping people who called in.
