  • Hope for Mental Health and Addictions with Jessica Lee Wrabel

    How can we offer hope for mental health and addictions?

    Welcome to Flourish-Meant, where we explore stories of hope, healing, and authenticity. In today's episode, "Hope for Mental Health and Addictions," host Tina Yeager sits down with actor, director, producer, and neuroscience graduate Jessica Lee Wrabel—a woman whose journey through postpartum depression and neuroscience expertise have inspired her creative work. Through deeply personal projects like the documentary In the Shadow of Grace and the upcoming feature film Our Shadows, Jessica Lee Wrabel weaves together raw, real-life stories of struggle and overcoming, spotlighting experiences with mental illness and addiction. Together, we'll discover how art can bridge gaps, spark empathy, unlock the doors of faith, and offer tangible steps toward hope for everyone—both inside and outside the walls of the church. Join us for an authentic conversation that promises to leave you inspired and equipped to make a difference.

    Key takeaways from our conversation:

    • There's Power in Sharing Your Story: Vulnerable, lived experiences can bring comfort and hope to others feeling alone in their struggles. Authenticity matters—healing is often a slow, messy, but beautiful journey.

    • Community & Empathy are Critical: Sometimes the biggest support we can offer is simply to be present. We all have struggles and need each other's grace, inside and outside the church.

    • Resources & Action Steps Exist: Whether it's local organizations, counseling centers, or national networks like NAMI, help is available—but reaching out can be the hardest step. If your community or church doesn't have a resource directory, be the one to start it.

    Grateful for the opportunity to encourage others and for everyone who has partnered with Wrabel on Shadow of Grace and her upcoming feature film Our Shadows. If you'd like to connect, share your story, or support her movement, reach out at yolliwoodtx.com.

  • Surviving Spiritual Silence with Autumn Miles

    Have you ever experienced a time of spiritual silence when you felt like God wasn't hearing you and you weren't hearing God? If you've been there, if you're there right now, we have hope, we have practical tips for you today.

    Autumn Miles, podcast host, Liberty University professor, and author of "Holy Ghosted" dives into one of the most challenging experiences in faith: seasons of spiritual silence. Together, they explore what it means when you don't hear from God, how the church can do a better job addressing the hard places in our spiritual journeys, and why silence is so uncomfortable—and so necessary—for growth. Drawing from the story of Job and her own personal experiences, Autumn Miles dispels common myths about suffering and spiritual distance, offering practical tips and hope for those who are waiting for answers. Whether you're struggling with silence right now or want to be better equipped to support others, this conversation promises encouragement, wisdom, and an invitation to a deeper relationship with God.

    Key Takeaways from the Episode
    • You're Not Alone: Autumn Miles shares her personal journey through spiritual silence and emphasizes that these seasons are not a sign of God's absence or your spiritual failure (01:21).

    • Debunking Myths: Instead of blaming ourselves or others, it's important to recognize that even the most faithful—like Job—endure silence and suffering (03:11). Autumn Miles explains the importance of sound theology and discerning voices during tough seasons.

    • The Value of Silence: In a noisy world, Autumn Miles encourages us to embrace quiet as an opportunity to grow closer to God and hear His wisdom in new ways (06:01).

    • Honest Prayer: God wants our rawest emotions and deepest truths, not filtered pleasantries. Like Job and David, we're invited to be real with God and let Him bring context and healing (15:05).

    • Relationship Over Answers: It's okay if you don't get a neat answer. What your soul truly needs is connection with God, and He always meets us with His presence (23:32).

    • A New Facet of God: Every season of silence is an invitation to know God in a deeper way—sometimes moving us from knowing about Him to truly seeing Him (24:02).

    • Discover & Use Your Gifts: Whether administration, shepherding, or teaching, your talents are meant to bless others. Explore them courageously in your church, family, and community.
    • Have Brave Conversations: Approach discussions with humility and clarity. Affirm men as allies, not adversaries.

  • Freedom from Forgiveness with Eva Marie Everson

    Are you seeking a sense of freedom? And do you know how to find that in the power of forgiveness?

    In today's episode, host Tina Yeager is joined by award-winning author and CEO of Word Weavers International, Eva Marie Everson, for a powerful conversation about finding true freedom through forgiveness. Together, they tackle the difficult questions many of us face: Why should we forgive those who have deeply hurt us, especially when they haven't apologized or shown remorse? Eva Marie Everson shares her personal experiences and insights from her latest novel, Miss Beth Bettencourt, illustrating the distinction between forgiveness and reconciliation, and how letting go of resentment can bring healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you're struggling with unforgiveness or seeking a deeper understanding of releasing past hurts, this episode will help you discover how to walk through the process of forgiveness and reclaim the joy and peace you deserve.

    Episode Highlights
    • Why Forgive? Eva Marie Everson reminds us that forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook—it's about following Christ's example and finding inner peace. As she shared, "Unforgiveness is the poison you pour for someone else, but drink yourself"

    • Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation Discover the difference between forgiving someone and reconciling with them. Eva Marie Everson explains, "Forgiveness is peace in me. Reconciliation is safety with you; one does not guarantee the other"

    • Personal Stories of Healing Hear emotional accounts from Eva Marie Everson about overcoming profound hurts—including the tragic murder of her beloved uncle—and how choosing forgiveness released her from bitterness

    • The Healing Journey Forgiveness is a process, not an instant fix. Eva Marie Everson shares that, "God's mercies are renewed every morning, but ours aren't...even as we say, 'Yes Lord, I am choosing to forgive,' there still may be resentment that will rise up"

    💡 Takeaway Tips
    • Forgiveness is letting go for your freedom—not waiting for an apology or justice.

    • Recognize the layers of your pain and allow God to heal them, one step at a time.

    • Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation; you can release bitterness without restoring an unsafe relationship.

    • Unforgiveness deeply affects your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

This can lead to a sense of despair and dissatisfaction that permeates our lives.

  • Authenticity and Spiritual Clarity with Tyler Gaulden

    How can we find authenticity and spiritual clarity in a world of fake leaders and cultural murkiness and confusion?

    In this episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with Tyler Gaulden, a viral TikTok pastor, author, and leader of the Unspeakable Joy Movement. Recorded onsite at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tyler shares timely wisdom on finding authenticity and spiritual clarity in today's phony, chaotic, and often deceptive culture.

    As they explore the struggle with comparison, the famine of authenticity, and the real meaning of peace, Tyler offers practical steps for cultivating genuine wisdom, clarity, and centeredness both at home and in leadership roles. Discover why true peace isn't just comfort during easy times, but a deep sense of calm even amid life's storms. Tyler also unpacks the relationship between spiritual clarity and authenticity, highlighting how our ultimate goal isn't about a place or career, but about becoming more like Christ.

    Tune in for rich insights, honest conversation, and encouragement to return to God for answers to life's hardest questions. If you're yearning for authenticity in a world full of confusion, this episode is for you.

    Authenticity in a Filtered World

    Tyler highlights the challenge of comparison in our social media-driven society. He reminds us that we often only see the highlight reels of others' lives, leading to a "famine of authenticity"—especially among younger generations. Tyler encourages us to:

    • Crucify the spirit of comparison and stop measuring ourselves by curated online images.

    • Embrace who God made us to be, finding comfort in our own skin and unique calling.

    Understanding Real Peace

    Are we chasing comfort instead of true peace? Tyler shares a beautiful story illustrating that peace isn't the absence of turmoil, but the sense of calm and assurance in the midst of challenge.

    He cautions that "comfort" is feeling at ease when things are easy, but "peace" is feeling at ease when things are hard. It's about staying steady and anchored, not seeking a hassle-free life.

    Building Spiritual Clarity

    Clarity, Tyler says, grows from a foundation of spiritual authenticity. Instead of searching for a career path or a specific role, our greater purpose is to become more Christlike. When we set our sights on Christ himself, rather than on positions or achievements, our steps naturally become clearer—even when life throws unexpected turns our way.

    A Simple Remedy for Complex Problems

    Tyler's advice for anyone wrestling with confusion, hurt, or restlessness? Return to God. Looking for fulfillment in relationships, jobs, or circumstances is an endless chase. Only in surrender and connection with God do we find the wholeness and clarity our souls crave.

    Stay Connected with Tyler Gaulden

    Interested in hearing more? You can find Tyler's sermons and books on all major platforms, and connect with him on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or by searching for his books on Amazon.

  • Healing Culture Wars with Justin Giboney

    How can we heal the culture wars?

    Tina Yeager sits down with Justin Giboney—an ordained minister, attorney, political strategist, and president of the AND Campaign—to tackle one of the most urgent questions facing Christians today: How can we promote social justice and truth while fostering Christlike relational unity in today's divisive and combative times?

    Drawing from his latest book, Don't Let Nobody Turn You Around, Justin Giboney explores the deep divisions within the church and how Christians can move beyond partisanship and ideology to embrace true Christlike engagement. Together, Tina Yeager and Justin Giboney discuss why it's vital for believers to listen with humility, lead with grace, and pursue justice anchored in biblical truth—while resisting the urge to reduce people to political abstractions.

    They reflect on the legacy of those who founded the civil rights movement, the importance of valuing both truth and compassion, and practical ways Christians can stand for justice without compromising love or respect for others. Whether you're feeling discouraged by division or searching for a better way to engage, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement for anyone longing to see the church become a healing force in today's world.

    Some key takeaways from our discussion:

    • Lead with Humility and Grace: Justin emphasized the need for intellectual humility and the importance of seeing those with opposing views as redeemable and worthy of respect, even in passionate disagreements.

    • Root Justice in Truth: He reminded us that social justice efforts must remain deeply connected to biblical truth and compassion. Pursuing change outside of these boundaries risks undermining both our message and our mission.

    • Listen for Understanding: One practical challenge Justin lays out is to truly seek out and understand the BEST arguments of those we disagree with, moving past significant division and stereotypes to foster genuine dialogue and transformation.
