Every person is created in the image of a Creator God. Creativity isn’t reserved for artists or authors—it’s part of God’s design for every believer. Whether you’re writing, building a business, raising a family, leading a ministry, or solving problems at work, you were created to create.

This conversation explores how discovering and using your God-given creativity can impact lives, expand God’s Kingdom, and leave a lasting legacy.

Together with his wife, Jill, he later co-founded Kingdom Creativity International to disciple writers and creatives worldwide.

Episode Description:
Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to build, write, teach, invent, design, or create?

What if that desire wasn’t accidental?

In this inspiring conversation, Barry Scott Young sits down with award-winning author Brae Wyckoff to discuss why every believer was created to create. They explore overcoming fear, discovering purpose, stewarding creativity, and learning how God uses ordinary people to create extraordinary Kingdom impact.

Whether you’ve dreamed of writing a book, starting a ministry, launching a business, or simply using your gifts more intentionally, this episode will challenge and encourage you to stop waiting and start creating.

Three Big Takeaways:
1. Every believer is creative because we reflect our Creator.

MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E10
Guest: Kent Kelley- Gobal Strategist, founder of Compassion International 

Episode: WORLDVIEW: Who’s Shaping Yours?
Host: Barry Scott Young

What shapes the way you see the world?
Whether we realize it or not, every one of us has a worldview. It influences how we think, make decisions, view relationships, handle challenges, and understand truth. The real question is not if you have a worldview—but who is shaping it?

In this episode of MY NEW NORM Podcast, Barry Scott Young sits down with longtime friend Kent Kelley, a global strategist and big-picture thinker with Compassion International, to discuss one of the most important issues facing believers today: developing and maintaining a Biblical worldview.

Together they explore:
* What a worldview really is
* How culture, media, education, and relationships shape our thinking
* Why so many people are influenced by ideas they have never examined
* The difference between a cultural worldview and a Biblical worldview
* Why discipleship is essential in shaping how we think and live
* How believers can intentionally align their lives with God’s truth
* Practical ways to evaluate who and what is influencing your perspective

Kent shares valuable insights from his global experiences and challenges listeners to think beyond the immediate issues of life and consider the larger spiritual picture. This conversation is both encouraging and challenging as it calls us to move beyond simply attending church and toward becoming fully discipled followers of Jesus.

If you have ever wondered why people see the same world so differently—or if you want to strengthen your own Biblical foundation—this episode is for you.
Remember: If you don’t intentionally build a Biblical worldview, someone else will gladly build one for you.

About Kent Kelley:
Kent Kelley has devoted over forty-five years to discipleship training across three continents. As the visionary founder of Crossroads International, he has woven discipleship into the organizational and mission goals of Crossroads and its bases in South Africa, India, and Pakistan. Prior to this, he spent 15 years as a Youth Pastor and Discipleship Pastor in Southern and Northern California.

MY NEW NORM Podcast — S6 E9

Guest: Bill Parker- Experience Matters Counseling
Episode: Navigating Narcissism

Host: Barry Scott Young

What happens when love turns into control?
When every conversation becomes manipulation…
every disagreement becomes your fault…
and you slowly lose yourself trying to keep the peace?

In this episode of the MY NEW NORM Podcast, host Barry Scott Young sits down with mental health counselor Bill Parker for one of the most important conversations of the season.

Together, they unpack the reality of narcissistic behavior, emotional control, toxic relationship patterns, and the silent damage many people carry behind closed doors.

This episode is not about internet labels or trendy buzzwords.
It’s about real people… real emotional wounds… and recognizing unhealthy patterns before they destroy your peace, identity, and relationships.

In this bold and honest conversation, we discuss:
* Signs of narcissistic behavior
* Emotional manipulation and control
* Why people stay in toxic relationships
* Gaslighting and emotional confusion
* The impact on marriages, families, and mental health
* How to begin healing and rebuilding healthy boundaries

Some people don’t realize they are slowly disappearing inside a relationship… 
until it’s almost too late.

This episode could help someone finally understand what they’ve been living through.

MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E8
Guest: James Igani- Author / Wellness Coach
Episode: Why Our Food is Making Us Sick
Host: Barry Scott Young

Show Notes
Episode Overview
What if the very food you trust… is quietly working against you?
In this eye-opening episode, Barry sits down with wellness coach and author James Igani to uncover the uncomfortable truth about today’s food system—and why so many Americans are sicker than ever before.
This isn’t about dieting.
This isn’t about trends.
This is about truth, awareness, and taking back control of your health.

We Discuss:
* How modern food has been engineered, not grown
* The hidden ingredients quietly impacting your body
* The connection between food, chronic illness, and long-term health
* Why convenience may be costing you your wellness
* How the food industry influences what ends up on your plate
* Simple, practical steps to begin reclaiming your health today

Power Quote from the Episode
“You don’t lose weight to improve your health…
you improve your health to lose weight.”
— James Igani

The Reality Check
We are living in a time where food is no longer just nourishment—it’s a business.
And too often, profit is prioritized over people.
This episode challenges you to think differently about what you eat… and why it matters.

Key Takeaway
If you don’t take control of your health, something else will.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E7
Guest: Lynne Rienstra- Author / Communicator
Episode: Going In and Coming Out of Hiding

Welcome to the MY NEW NORM Podcast, where we talk with real people facing real change and discovering what life looks like on the other side.

I’m your host, Barry Scott Young, and today we’re joined by author and speaker Lynne Rienstra, whose book Sacred Refuge explores what it means to find safety, healing, and the presence of God even in life’s most difficult seasons.

About Guest:
Lynne Rienstra, is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan. Through her mentoring, speaking, and writing, she invites women to exchange the lies they've believed for the truth God speaks over them in Scripture. The result? Freedom like they've never experienced before.

Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected.
Pain shows up.
Loss hits hard.
Trauma leaves questions that don’t have easy answers.

And in those moments, many people quietly ask a question they never thought they would ask…
Where is God in the middle of all this?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed…
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy…
This conversation is for you.

MY NEW NORM PODCAST – S6 E6
Guest: Barry DeHart
Episode: Beaten, Broken, and Addicted — Now 40 Years Free
Host: Barry Scott Young

Before we begin:
This episode includes real and raw conversations around suicide, addiction, and deep personal struggle. If you’re walking through something heavy right now, you’re not alone. We encourage you to listen with care—and reach out for help if needed.
In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

There are stories… and then there are stories that stop you in your tracks. This is one of them.
From a childhood shaped by pain…
To training in martial arts under legends like Chuck Norris…
To a life spiraling into violence, brokenness, and addiction…Barry DeHart lived it all.

But this episode isn’t about where he started.
It’s about what didn’t finish him.
-Addiction didn’t win.
-Brokenness didn’t define him.
-His past didn’t get the final word.

Today…
Barry celebrates 40 YEARS OF SOBRIETY.

In This Episode:
• The hidden pain behind strength and success
• How addiction takes hold — and how it can be broken
• The turning point that changed everything
• What 40 years of freedom really looks like
• A message for anyone still fighting their battle

Why You Need to Hear This:
Because someone you know…
Is still in the fight.

And this story proves:
Freedom is possible
Change is real
Your past does NOT own your future

Hosted by Barry Scott Young
Real people. Real stories. Real change.

Resource:
Steps Toward a Life of Freedom:
1. Get Honest—For Real- Freedom starts when the excuses stop.
You can’t heal what you keep hiding.

2. Decide—No More “Someday- Change doesn’t happen by accident.
It begins with a moment: “I’m done living this way.

3. Don’t Fight Alone- Isolation feeds addiction.
Freedom grows in community—find someone who knows your story.

4. Replace, Don’t Just Remove- You can’t just quit something—you have to fill the space.
New habits. New rhythms. New direction.

5. Build Daily Discipline- Freedom isn’t a one-time breakthrough—
it’s a daily decision repeated over time.

6. Renew Your Mind- Your life follows your thinking.
Change what you believe, and you change how you live.

7. Expect the Fight- Temptation will come. Old patterns will call.
Be ready—not surprised.

8. Get Back Up—Fast- You may stumble. Don’t stay down.
Failure is a moment, not your identity.

9. Serve Others- Freedom grows when you stop living only for yourself.
Help someone else—and you strengthen your own breakthrough.

10. Hold Onto Hope- No matter how far you’ve gone—
freedom is still possible.

Freedom isn’t found in one big moment…
it’s built in small decisions—every single day.

CALL TO ACTION:
FOLLOW. WATCH. SHARE.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E3
Episode: The Dismantling of Fatherhood
Guest: Pastor Chad Harris
Host: Barry Scott Young

In this powerful, unfiltered episode, Barry Scott Young sits down with Pastor Chad Harris to confront one of the most urgent cultural and spiritual crises of our time:
The silencing and sidelining of fathers.

Pastor Chad Harris, Lead pastor at Crossing Church- Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Church info: www.crossingchatt.com

Episode Purpose:
To call men back to biblical fatherhood, restore dignity to the role, and confront the silence of the faith community while culture sidelines fathers.

Show Notes:
The dismantling of fatherhood is not accidental.
It is systemic, cultural, and deeply consequential.

This is not about masculinity.
This is about responsibility, presence, and legacy.

What Does “Dismantling” Mean?
To dismantle fatherhood is to undermine, minimize, or remove the role of fathers from the family—emotionally, spiritually, and socially—until their presence feels optional instead of essential.

How Fatherhood Is Being Dismantled
1. Cultural Messaging
Fathers are often portrayed as unnecessary, incompetent, or even dangerous. Media narratives replace honor with humor and authority with ridicule. Over time, this reshapes expectations—especially for boys growing up without a model to follow.

2. Redefinition of Family
When fatherhood is redefined out of the family structure, children lose a vital source of identity and stability. Scripture consistently presents fathers as anchors of generational faith and responsibility (see Book of Malachi).

3. Absence Normalized
Father absence—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—has become culturally tolerated. The consequences are measurable: fractured identity, increased behavioral struggles, and spiritual drift.

4. Silencing of Fathers
Men are often discouraged from leading, disciplining, or guiding for fear of being labeled harsh or outdated. The result is passivity, not peace.

You don’t erase men first.
You erase fathers.

The Impact on Children and Society
When fathers are removed:
• Homes weaken
• Children drift
• Identity fractures
• Faith becomes fragile

When fatherhood collapses, society doesn’t become freer—it becomes fatherless.

The Call Forward
The solution is not louder arguments, but restored responsibility.
• Fathers must return to presence, not passivity
• Families must honor the role, not replace it
• The church must speak clearly, not cautiously

A culture that doesn’t know God will always struggle to understand fathers.
But a generation without fathers will struggle to know God.

Fatherhood is not the problem.
Its absence is.
