Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#309: My TV Co-Anchor Battles Breast Cancer With Prayer and Physicians, As She Helps Others Be Healthy
Q: What would you say to folks who maybe were you, where you were like, well, I can just put it off, or I feel fine, no problems?
Gauthier urges people to get recommended screenings even when they feel well. She says that waiting six more months might have allowed her cancer to advance, potentially requiring more difficult treatment.
#309: My TV Co-Anchor Battles Breast Cancer With Prayer and Physicians, As She Helps Others Be Healthy
Q: How did you find out from the doctor and what was that like, learning you had breast cancer?
After a delayed mammogram and follow-up imaging, Gauthier was called in the day after Christmas in 2024 and told she had stage 1, hormone-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. She describes feeling shocked and detached, while also learning that the cancer was treatable.
#310: Mom & Organizer of 5K Run (For Heroes) Sees Mobility and Movement as Medicine
Q: So, you have this movement and exercise, but also it's kind of the competitive stuff.
Dring says competition and encouragement from others make exercise enjoyable and help people step outside their comfort zones. She values having teammates who can offer feedback and accountability, even when the goal is simply to participate and have fun.
#310: Mom & Organizer of 5K Run (For Heroes) Sees Mobility and Movement as Medicine
Q: So for you, you know, has that been, you know, the fitness part of the journey? Has that been an up and down for you?
Dring says fitness became harder after organized sports ended, when she lost the structure and accountability of a team. She has had repeated setbacks, but learned that consistency depends on discipline rather than motivation and that people can succeed without being perfect.
#308: WTVM Co-workers Run Their First Marathon - and Jesus Took The Wheel
Q: What have you learned about choosing to go after God in a loving way, not a fearful way?
Daniel says he believes there should be more love in the world and rejects using fear as a scare tactic to bring people to God.
