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.

Mother's Day is just a few days away, and before we start this month's series next week, Susan spends today's podcast on an unconventional Mother's Day Message.

REWIND EPISODE!

Today, we are rewinding back to Season 1, Episode 1. The one that started it all.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been discussing the importance of curiosity in our relationships. Why? Because if you aren't curious and ask questions, it can easily lead to DANGEROUS ASSUMPTIONS.

You can also read more about "Dangerous Assumptions" in Susan's Book "We're Still in This," available on the Tangible Truth Website: We're Still in This.

Last week, Susan and special guest Brad Franklin talked about the need to be curious in a relationship. During their conversation, Susan mentioned a podcast that she and former co-host, Keri Corn, did on being curious way back in season 1.

It has been one of our most talked-about and well-received episodes, so we wanted to share it with you again to offer a different perspective on the idea of "Being Curious."

To finish this six-part series, Susan and Brad discuss the phrase "be curious" and how it is important and ties into all of the other phrases discussed over the last five episodes.
