Behind every eating disorder is a story far more complex than we realize, and today we’re uncovering what’s really going on.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Dr. Deena Muno, a clinical psychologist who works with some of the most severe cases of eating disorders in hospital settings as well as through her private practice.

Deena shares from her years of experience walking with patients whose lives are at risk due to restrictive eating, and she helps us understand that eating disorders are not just about body image; they are layered, complex, and deeply tied to neurobiology, personality traits, family systems, and cultural pressures like social media.

Together, Bethany and Deena talk about:

What really happens the moment someone walks out of prison gates—alone, afraid, and carrying nothing but a red net bag? Bethany and Adam sit down with Joshua and Debs Walker, founders of 7More, a ministry that meets men and women at the prison gates the moment they are released. From helping them navigate those first critical hours to walking alongside them through mentorship, job placement, and faith-based community, the Walkers are bridging the gap between incarceration and true freedom.

You’ll hear stories of transformation, heartbreaking realities of life after prison, and how 7More is breaking cycles of poverty, crime, and hopelessness. Joshua and Debs share how identity in Christ changes everything, and how the church can step into a role that government programs can never fully fill.

Guest Bio:

Joshua and Debs Walker are the founders of 7More, a nonprofit ministry serving men and women reentering society after prison. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, they moved to Houston, Texas, nearly two decades ago, where they first began working with the homeless and discovered the unique challenges faced by those leaving incarceration.

With a heart to meet people at their most vulnerable moments, Joshua and Debs launched 7More to provide immediate support, practical resources, mentorship, and a clear message of hope in Christ. Their team works at prison release sites, halfway houses, and within communities to break cycles of poverty, addiction, and crime—one life at a time.

When Joshua isn’t serving on the streets or mentoring, you can probably find him at the local skatepark, connecting with people over shared passions and handing out 7More stickers. Debs serves as a voice of advocacy, coordination, and compassion, helping men and women walk a new path toward lasting freedom.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Kate Deering—author of How to Heal Your Metabolism—for a real, no-nonsense talk about health, energy, and what’s actually going on inside our bodies. Kate shares how she went from being a fit, driven personal trainer to hitting a wall physically and emotionally, and what she learned about fueling her body in a way that actually works long-term.

They unpack why metabolism is so much more than “calories in, calories out,” how to use food to steady your energy instead of riding the caffeine rollercoaster, and the truth about carbs, sugar, protein, and seed oils. You’ll hear why popular approaches like intermittent fasting can backfire for a lot of people, and why a slower, steadier path often wins in the long run.

Why would a couple take in child after child, many from traumatic situations, knowing they might have to say goodbye? For Joel and Ashley Wingo, the answer is simple: God's love for the most vulnerable.

In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with longtime friends Joel and Ashley, adoptive parents of seven and foster parents to many more, to talk about the beauty, heartbreak, and calling of foster care and adoption. From their first $25,000 private adoption to welcoming twin babies during the chaos of COVID, their story is marked by radical obedience, faith-stretching provision, and a deep conviction that every child deserves a family.

They share what it's really like to parent children who’ve experienced trauma and how we as Christians can support the vulnerable, whether we open our homes, give financially, or simply start paying attention.

Guest Bio:

Joel and Ashley Wingo are parents of seven children—three biological and four adopted—and have welcomed many more into their home through foster care. Married for over 22 years, they’ve walked through a wide range of adoption and foster care experiences, from private infant adoptions to navigating the complexities of the foster system during a global pandemic. Their lives are marked by deep faith, resilience, and a passion to reflect God’s heart for the vulnerable. Whether through hands-on parenting or simply showing up for a child in crisis, the Wingos believe every Christian has a role to play in the pro-life story.
