   When God Calls You Not to Conform to Your Peers: Mary’s Story of Bravely Going Against the Ways of the Crowd in High School (with Mary Wheeler)

   What would you do if your peers pressured you to dishonor God and to do things you always believed were wrong? At the young age of thirteen, Mary Wheeler found herself in that position on her first day of high school. She faced enormous pressure to abandon some of the moral teachings of her faith about chastity. Mary sensed spiritual warfare and a call from God not to go down the path her classmates had chosen. But her decision to live differently was isolating, challenging, and spiritually transformative. Mary's story reminds us that sometimes living out the Christian faith requires a sort of "mini-martyrdom" — a willingness to die to our desires to fit in, be safe, and be protected from ridicule. Facing, instead, the scorn and disdain of those who may profess the faith while engaging in behaviors that are in total opposition to what Scripture teaches. Mary's story will encourage you to grow in boldness as a Christian and remind you that God always provides when He calls us not to conform to sinful group dynamics in front of us.

   Healing the Wounds of the Generations of Your Family (with Sue Gage, MA, LPC)

   Every family in the world faces trials and challenges. Sometimes these difficulties do not merely come and go, but may impact a family for generations. Today, Cassidy is talking with Licensed Professional Counselor Sue Gage about how people can seek healing for long-lasting wounds. Their conversation is not only relevant to immediate and extended families; it also applies to dysfunctions experienced by groups of many kinds — workplaces, friend groups, churches, and more — through the lens of Family Systems Theory in mental health.

   They Decided Not to Use Birth Control In Their Marriage (with Kayla Pomper)

   The sexual revolution changed public opinion on the meaning of marriage and sex. When this took place, Christians had to wade through new ideology and discern if more atheistic views of the human body and relationships could truly be in line with Scripture. Some Christians concluded that it's ok to separate sex from the fruitfulness of bringing about new human lives; other Christians determined that God made sexuality complex — with the elements of unity, procreation, and pleasure, instead of trying to isolate it to only derive pleasure. Today, we're going to talk with Kayla Pomper about why she and her husband embraced that latter view — that sexuality isn't only about pleasure, but is inherently a fruitful, procreative act that can bring new lives into this world. Since getting married, Kayla and her husband Hayden have had three children. The process of growing their family has been very difficult. Kayla has suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum in every pregnancy, had an emergency C-section, and has experienced postpartum mental health challenges. Even so, Kayla and Hayden remain committed to the belief that God created sex as a procreative act — seeing this as an element made by God that deserves to be honored, instead of taking action to stop conception through medications or IUDs. Their choice is not something all Christians have adopted, but I think Kayla's case for embracing a more holistic view of sexuality and the Theology of the Body can inspire all of us to think more deeply about our own sexual morals and philosophies. May we each examine our own beliefs and consider whether our view of marriage and sex is an ideology we believe because it is convenient and goes with the ways of our current cultural moment, or whether the views we hold actually align with eternal truth on how God made marriage and the body.

   Glorifying God in College and Professional Development (with Victoria Johns)

   God made you uniquely and in His image. You have particular gifts, strengths, and desires that God intends to use for His eternal purposes. Today on the podcast, Cassidy talks with Victoria Johns about how Christians can engage in college and professional development in a way that magnifies God. Some Christians hold the view that all of our dreams are inherently not from God. Cassidy and Victoria present a different vision. What if some of the desires we have are not about us, but exist as a unique way to glorify God in our lives and serve people in need? We also discuss the challenges that are specific to young people — eighteen-year-old college students who may face temptations they have never before encountered as they start college. Cassidy and Victoria offer practical tips for living out your faith when you face pushback from those around you.

   Healthy Female Friendships and the Importance of Kindness (with Holly Monette)

   What is a sign that someone is a genuine Christian and that they truly do have the Holy Spirit abiding in them? Scripture makes it clear that if a person has real faith and God is truly dwelling in them, they will be marked by the fruit of the Spirit. The book of Galatians helps us understand how to discern if a person is truly a Christian or not. "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" (Galatians 5:19-24). One of the fruits of the Spirit is kindness, which is part of the subject of today’s podcast episode. I have invited my wonderful friend, Holly Monette, to join us for a conversation about healthy female friendships and the importance of kindness.
