How should the church react to the epidemic of pornography addiction? How should we respond when we find out someone we care about is dealing with a porn addiction? How do we frontload the conversation of porn BEFORE it appears in our kid's lives?

These are the topics of this week's podcast, which features Susan Goss and special guests Ted Shimer and Hunter House.

Welcome to the Summer 2025 "Best of Series," where we replay our most popular episodes of the year so far.

Whether you are relistening or hearing them for the first time, we pray that you are blessed, encouraged, and challenged.

So sit back and enjoy; we'll see you back in August for all-new episodes.

Today's episode is part of one of our Pornography Series with Ted Shimer and Hunter House.

Founder of Self Ctrl, Ian McCready, returns for Part 2 of his talk with Susan, discussing the addictiveness of technology.

While this is our Father's Day special, Ian and Susan delve into questions that are for fathers and anyone who partakes in technology, such as:

1) Is this game healthy for me and my family?

2) What does self-control look like for me?

3) Does this technology leave room for God in my life? Does it leave room for healthy relationships with others?

Did you know that the first commercially available home video game was "Pong," released in 1972?

Since then, access to video games has increased exponentially over the last 50+ years, with the rise accelerating further with the introduction of mobile games on our phones.

And yes...they can be fun, challenging, and stimulating, but at what cost?

All this month, Susan is joined by Ian McCready, the founder of Self-Ctrl, a Northwest Arkansas Non-profit that has taken on the mission to expose the traumatic and addictive nature of video games and screen time and, as their mission statement says: To serve families and individuals by educating, equiping and empowering them to build self control around screen time and video gaming to redeem the time for good works.

Join Susan and Dr. Billy Jones for one more episode as they remind you that no matter your situation, whether mental or medical, there is hope.

In this week's episode, Susan and Dr. Billy Jones have an open dialogue about the misdiagnoses of mental health concerns when the truth is medical, and how our medical needs can be the side effect of our mental state.

Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Counselor? Therapist? MD?

The world of mental health can be confusing at times, so for Mental Health Awareness Month, Susan has invited Psychologist Dr Billy Jones to the podcast to answer some of the biggest questions therapists get from new and potential clients.

This week, they are starting at the beginning with "Who? What? Why?" - clarifying the differences between mental health professionals so you can connect with the right professional for your situation.
