Depression is a real and serious life-threatening disease. Maybe it won't cause suicidal thoughts , but it will still steal your ability to live your life to the fullest.

My mother suffered a MASSIVE stroke the day before Thanksgiving, and has been in the hospital since then!  I had made many facebook live video updates, which has taken so much time away from actual podcasting!  SO I thought - I'm just going to record what I say on Facebook haha.

I've been asked to join a radio hosting group in the UK and they've asked me for a 15 minute intro episode all about me!  This was wayyyyy harder than I thought it would be - because talking about yourself is awkward.

Everyone - I can't warmly express ENOUGH how fond I am of this husband and wife duo.
I first found Chelsea through Google's suggested stories that the A.I. thought I'd be interested in - and apparently Google was right  - because I then read a gut-wrenching yet hopeful story of foster-parenting and love, written by Chelsea herself!  You can actually find that article right here!
She was so gracious and kind and brave to meet me for a phone call from across the entire USA - literally East meets West in this situation - and my mind was blown even further when I saw a picture of her and her husband online, and get this - we both had pink hair and a nose ring in the photo, and our husbands had beards, glasses and a sweet face!?!  What in the world?!
I am so happy to introduce you to Chelsea, and to share just a part of her story with you all - she has been one of my favorite guests, and I can't wait for you to hear what she has to say!
Thanks for coming back, friends!

Have you ever had a terrible day?  Like one of the worst days ever?  Did you know that God still cares for you in those times too?  Did you know that he LITERALLY sends angels to help you?  Well.......listen to how I had one of the worst days ever, but am so thankful that God meets me and cares for me even then. Thanks for coming back, friends!

Friends!
So - I've been convicted lately.  Well, not lately, but over years and years of prodding and poking from people that love me.
I've got. To watch. My tongue. My mouth can be offensive - but I loved it.  It goes with rock n' roll, metal, hard life and crazy backstory.  But, like so many of our sins, it's time to give it up.
Cheers, guys!  And good luck on your journeys too!
