Q & A (Question and Answer Segment): This episode addresses an important question we received and researched thoroughly before replying. We always welcome your input and additional comments for future podcasts.
In this segment, we explore what Sunni Islam is and how it differs from the Nation of Islam and Christianity. We also discuss Elijah Muhammad's and Malcolm X's positions on the Nation of Islam.
Lastly, a new believer asks: "Why would God allow the world to be presented with the Bible if it falsely states that God has a Son and that Jesus is the Savior of the world?"
Considering this, I must agree that God would not allow the entire world to continue believing a lie. Therefore, I conclude that the Bible is His Word. His Word states that He loved us so much He sent Jesus to take our sins so that those who believe can have eternal life—something everyone wants. I believe this.
However, Islam states that God is singular and has no son. I believe we must allow God to place in our hearts what to believe, and He would not let the world be deceived by a lie. You must decide for yourself, but the evidence that the Bible is the Word of God supersedes the belief that we can be accepted on our own merits. Jesus said that no one comes to the Father except through Him—and it is Jesus who said this, not me or anyone else on this podcast.
Thank you for listening. All statements here are made with gratitude to God, not to disrespect anyone else's beliefs or religion. What do you say?

NEW EPISODE of Pre-Trial developments as this story begins to now unfold. Here are the latest comments based on our thoughts. No official police, court or Hernandez family statements are included here. A sad story yet to be concluded, but troubling to the mind. Especially for the family of Celeste Hernandez, who have been waiting for answers since 2022 - 2024. Their 13 year old daughter went missing and now almost 3 to 4 years later, they are still waiting for answers. A deep family lost and definitely one of the more difficult episodes to discuss during Mental Health Awareness month. Follow along with us as the story unfolds. What a tragedy for both the artist and the victim, not to mention the horrible discovery for her family. Thank you for your support and for listening. Your comments and poll responses are greatly appreciated. 

This episode explores how diet can affect mental health. Based on Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's excellent book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome. Pick up a copy today. But, in the meantime, here are my thoughts on the GAPS diet mentioned in this book and my overall option based on other nutritional articles, books and people I've spoken to. ANY natural treatment for physical or mental healing and wellness is what our Podcast is all about. God has provided all kinds of plants, fruits and water based nutritional items for our overall mental and physical well-being, so why not explore what He has for us so we can live our best lives possible? I truly appreciate your support and welcome your thoughts, questions, and suggestions for future podcasts.

“When the Joy Feels Heavy: Understanding Postpartum Depression”
On this episode of the Journey Into Mental Health Podcast, we’re opening up about a topic close to my heart — Postpartum Depression. So many new mothers silently struggle under the weight of expectations, exhaustion, and emotions they never saw coming. In this episode, we talk about what PPD really looks like, how families — especially grandmothers — can offer meaningful support, and why no mother should ever feel ashamed for needing help. If you or someone you love is navigating those early, overwhelming months, this conversation is for you. Join me as we shine a light on healing, hope, and the power of showing up.

The Podcast episode is about breaking the silence and seeking help. Today we have so many resources to get mental health wellness assistance. Best part is can be anonymous. We know the first step is often hard or scary, but we're here to help and there are so many resources wherever you live. With today's technology, you have cell phones, emails, computers, landline phones, libraries, online chat, community centers, churches, and places of worship, even your local mall, stores, medical clinics and hospitals, etc. Even, your local police or fire deparment. Just go or call. People are ready to help. The first step is the beginning of the new you. Or if you want to help a family member or friend. Thanks for listening to our Podcast and for your support. We want to keep bringing you the best content available and stories to uplift your spirits and improve your life. These projects give me a personal boost to know it's here to help others. We all need encouragement and I am here to serve. God bless you. Amen!

Have you ever stopped to think about whether people in the 21st Century are living in unseen bondage? Today, many are deceived into believing that strict diets or unwritten rules are required to please God. But our Heavenly Father, Almighty God, never intended for us to live in chains. It is merely man-made rules that foster division and hatred among religious communities, when in truth, we are meant to be united as one human family.
God created the Earth to be a place of peace. Although the forces of darkness may seem strong today, a divine intervention is on the horizon. The time will come when the truth about the adversary's failure is revealed to everyone. While worldly control seems to prevail now, God will soon step in, vanquishing evil and ushering in a restoration of Earth that mirrors Heaven itself.
The Book of Revelation promises this future, and it is a promise we can hold onto with unwavering faith. So, we must wait patiently for the Lord’s timing, which is always perfect. Soon, the entire world will hear the message of Jesus and the Word of God, and He will return to make all things new. AMEN.
