Today I am sharing the testimony of Cheryl Van Wagenen, who was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and became a born again believer in 2021. Cheryl shares how she discovered discrepancies in the teachings of the church as compared with the holy scriptures in the Bible, how God drew her against all odds and how it lifted the burden of pursuing perfection and believing in a false Jesus.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with ACBC certified counselor Dr. Ernie Baker, Pastor of Counseling Supervision and Equipping. We'll discuss trauma-informed care from a biblical worldview and the issues with approaching trauma from any other worldview than one rooted in God's word as our authority.

He is a fellow with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and a certified conciliator with The Institute for Christian Conciliation. Sponsor: Association of Certified Biblical Counselors

The world is changing - and so is the world of secular therapy and what that means for Christians practicing as counselors with licensure by the state. Today I have Stephanie Risinger, LMFT, who specializes in women's mental health and perinatal counseling, on to discuss changes she has seen in the field over her 15+ years of experience and challenges she faces today as a Christian continuing to practice.

What is Biblical Counseling? What’s the difference between that and secular or even christian counseling? Who should govern what counselors can and cannot say in the counseling room? Why “biblical counseling” when there’s a whole field of licensed professional counselors who seemingly want to help people?  What standard do we use for helping people seek and find peace?  All this and more in my conversation with Ursla McCarthy, an ACBC certified counselor who attends the same church as I do. Ursla has a Masters in Biblical Counseling and a Bachelors degree in Psychology. She changed directions with her psychology degree after beginning to practice counseling in the prison system and realizing it was not effective for helping people truly change.

As conservatives prepare to go Target-free for June, it begs the question: how long will this go on? How long can it? Are people being inconsistent by refusing to shop at Target but continuing to shop at Walmart or Amazon? Or can we simply do the best we can with what we have to steward our money and resources? I see both sides of the argument and have been/am on both sides, so I want to examine both sides of the discussion and see how we can all avoid error on both extremes of leaning too hard into "boycott or you're in sin" or "we don't have to do anything different ever" regardless of how corporations behave. I think this is a valuable and important conversation for Christians to have, and it surely isn't the last time a corporation will serve a demonic agenda in this ever-present spiritual battle that wages on.
