In this episode of our When Your Child is Struggling series, we’re talking about how to respond to your child who is struggling, because the way you respond is key!

June 13, 2024380 | When Your Child is Struggling: Are you Operating From a Place of Health?
We are so excited to be kicking off a new series entitled When Your Child is Struggling! As a parent, it is so hard to see your child struggling – whether that be with things like anxiety and depression or things like substance abuse and self-harm. In this series, Dr Brooke Keels and Melanie Wise discuss some of the key things that any parent with a struggling child should know. (And even though this series is directed toward parents, it will be helpful for anyone who has a loved one in their life who is struggling!) In this episode, we discuss the importance of being healthy and self-aware as the parent so you can navigate the situation with your child from a place of health.
Also, in this episode…
How to assess what’s happening inside of you as you watch your loved one struggle
Common mental and emotional challenges for parents of struggling children
How to process your emotions about your child’s struggles with God

December 12, 2023 379 | BONUS EPISODE: Testimony Tuesday – Sky’s Story
On this episode of Testimony Tuesday, we hear the powerful story of transformation of one of our Residential Program graduates, Sky!

We hope you’re encouraged by Sky’s story and how God has powerfully moved in her life!

November 09, 2023375 | Whole Brain Discipleship
In this episode of our “Train Your Brain” series, we’re talking about how understanding the functions of the left brain vs. right brain can have major implications when it comes to spiritual growth and discipleship. If you have found yourself frustrated by the lack of transformation you’re experiencing in your own life (or in the lives of those you lead), perhaps you’ve been neglecting the most important part of the brain for such transformation to actually occur!
Also, in this episode…
How character formation happens through the brain
The necessity of community for transformation
