With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Choose Your Words Wisely. Remember the phrase, "Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, but Words Can Never Hurt Me?" Most of us were taught to say this as a last-ditch comeback (lame as it was) when someone said unkind/hurtful words. Those words felt empty to me even as a kid. I have countless memories of how words hurt me so deeply that I can still feel the pain. At the same time, we were also taught, "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword," which is contrary to the previous phrase. This phrase went over my head when I was young. But today, this lesson of how words can be more devastating than the wounds caused by a sword rings supreme. Let's talk about the power words can and do have and how to use that power responsibly.

This episode was recorded for Christmas, but the story of the birth of Jesus is timeless and can be celebrated throughout the year. Christmas is a season of joy, but it can also be a time of struggle for many. If you’re feeling down, grieving, or just grasping for some peace in the busyness of the season, this special edition of Healthy & Redeemed is for you. I will read through selected scriptures and meaningful song lyrics helping us remember the true meaning of Christmas—Jesus Christ. He is the greatest gift ever given! Inspired by the timeless question from A Charlie Brown Christmas, "Is there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?"—this episode offers hope, peace, and a reminder that you are deeply loved. Join me as we refocus our hearts on the light that shines in the darkness.

“Who Are You Without the Mask?”Different Mask: * The “I’m fine” mask — used to avoid vulnerability.* The “strong one” mask — often worn by those who've been through trauma.* The “perfect” mask — fed by social media, church expectations, or people-pleasing.* Masks aren't always bad — sometimes they protect us — but they can't heal us.

 The Morning Would Show – Show Notes (Friday Edition) 
Guests: Shiny Shiny Black 
Crew: Mrs. Vicki, H, HD, and Caveman 

What. A. Morning. 
This episode was packed with high energy, good vibes, and nonstop laughs as we welcomed the incredible Amber and Nathan Butler of Shiny Shiny Black to the show! Touring across the country with their family, they gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s really like to live life on the road, make music with heart, and still manage snack drama in the van. 

We dove into:

• How their journey as a couple fuels their sound

• Their upcoming live show in Palisade, CO at Talbott’s Cider Company

• How “tragedy leads to optimism” fuels their lyrics

• Plus, that one time someone forgot the lyrics mid-performance (yes, they told us )

And of course, this week’s Word Blurt game had us all in tears laughing. Absolute chaos. Caveman nearly fell out of his chair. 

Major love to our killer crew:
 Mrs. Vicki – the soul and spice of the show
 H & HD – always keeping the mic hot and the mood hilarious
 Caveman – bringing the beats and the unexpected jokes

Until next time — stay loud, stay weird, and stay would-y.
