Nothing compares to the love and loyalty of one of God’s creations, and when it comes to horse and dog therapy, Jane Marie Allen Farmer has seen this truth firsthand. As a longtime volunteer therapy dog and horse handler, she has served her community by connecting kids, trauma survivors, and natural disaster victims with the love and joy of a gentle, comforting animal. Jane talks about her special dog, Truman Blue, who has helped kids and adults through the aftermath of floods, tornadoes or other natural disasters or the difficult moments of facing a deadly illness. This world-changer discusses the markers a canine needs in order to be a therapy dog, and breaks down the science of why animals are so effective at bringing peace and relief to those who are suffering. The love of these animals triggers a flood of oxytocin in the brain and gives everyone, young or old, a rush of joy.TAKEAWAYSCheck out Jane’s story in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Volunteering Giving Back: 101 Inspiring Stories of Purpose and PassionKids with disabilities benefit from therapy horseback riding in a variety of ways such as: raising oxytocin, building self-confidence, etc.To be a therapy dog, canines need to be friendly and non-possessive, with a history of being calmTherapy dogs can visit disaster sites, nursing homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and more🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/44an6eaTherapy Dog video: https://bit.ly/3XquYol🔗 CONNECT WITH JANE MARIE ALLEN FARMERWebsite: https://trumanbluemysteries.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trumanbluemysteries/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trumanbluemysteries/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@trumanblue🔗 CONNECT WITH HOPE UNBRIDLED EQUESTRIANWebsite: https://hopeunbridledequestrian.org/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinRestore Patch: https://bit.ly/CCMpatchWAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tinaCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #janemarieallenfarmer #chickensoupforthesoul #chickensoup #inspirational #motivation #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #motivational #motivationalquotes #quotes #love #success #inspire #successquotes #lifequotes #goals

Is Islam really as dangerous as some people claim? Yes! Robert Spencer is an expert on the subject of Islamic Jihad and Sharia. He has worked with the U.S. military and the intelligence community and authored several bestselling books about this religion that aims to destroy America and inflict genocide on non-Muslims. Robert touches on the recent election of Muslim NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, and what that could mean for the once-greatest city in the world. He also highlights some of the most chilling truths about Islam and the Quran, which sanction and encourage spousal abuse. Robert points out how the U.S. government has redefined the language about fundamentalism, Sharia law, and the Quran and could use its counter-terrorism strategies against law-abiding citizens and, especially, Christians.TAKEAWAYSPresident Trump’s close friendship with Qatar is alarming, given the nation’s history of sponsoring IslamIslam is supremacist, aggressive, political, and expansionistIslam leaves no space for coexistence - only dominationViolent Jihad can cause a great deal of damage and destruction, even amid a failed takeover attempt🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEThreat of Jihad with Brannon Howse: https://bit.ly/4po8ocf‘Death to America’ Chant at Dearborn Rally: https://bit.ly/4pvYKEcMuslims Christians Clash at MI City Hall video: https://bit.ly/49XBw5hMuslims Invade America: https://bit.ly/47ynoOaIntifada on the Hudson book: https://bit.ly/48lBgvJ 🔗 CONNECT WITH ROBERT SPENCERWebsite: https://jihadwatch.org/X: https://x.com/jihadwatchRSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JihadWatchVideoTelegram: https://t.me/jihadwatchOG📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tinaTiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINACovenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBookRogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #robertspencer #jihad #muslim #fundamentalism #quran #islam #allah #hijab #islamic #oppression

Iran is a large country with 78 ethnic groups and countless languages spoken throughout the nation. Very few of these people have access to a Bible that is written in a language they can understand. What’s more, the Iranian government can execute anyone who departs from the state-sponsored religion of Islam. Lana Silk is the CEO of Transform Iran, a ministry that works hard to support and uphold the horribly persecuted yet thriving church body in Iran. Lana now lives in the United States, but her formative childhood years were spent in Iran. She has a deep love for the Iranian people and seeks to share the love of Christ with them. Iranians are brutally victimized by their own government, and they are hungrier than ever for the Gospel message. As Christians, it is our duty to reach out and support the persecuted church.TAKEAWAYSWe are living in a spiritual war, and the Lord has equipped us with the weapons we need to fight itReaching the Iranian people or Islamic people should always start by sharing the love of Jesus ChristMany Muslims have an authentic desire to serve God, although they misunderstand who God is because of the Quran’s deceptionOur responsibility is to be like Christ to the people around us and to follow His teachings🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3LA1IIPCCM Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counterculturemom/Transform Iran Vision video: https://bit.ly/4a4BVTcHelp Iranian Kids: https://transformiran.com/children/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH TRANSFORM IRANWebsite: https://transformiran.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransformIranInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/transformiran/X: https://x.com/Transform_IranYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TransformIranTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@transform.iran📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomMy Father’s World: mfwbooks. com/4tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinWAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #lanasilk #jihad #muslim #fundamentalism #quran #islam #allah #hijab #islamic #oppression #transformiran

Isik Abla was born in Turkey and survived the horrors and abuse of being indoctrinated in an extremist Muslim family. After fleeing her violent husband and heading to America, she found herself in a very dark place. On the day she was going to take her own life, her boss introduced her to Jesus Christ. From that moment, Isik has been on fire for Jesus, and is committed to saving America from the wrathful destruction of Islamic Jihad. As the president and CEO of Isik Abla Ministries, Isik outlines the chilling toxicity and culture of deception of Islam. She sheds light on how American Muslim leaders are openly calling for the overthrow of freedom and for radical, violent Jihad. Americans must know the truth about Islam, and they must counter this violence with the love and strength of the Gospel message.TAKEAWAYSIsik was once brainwashed during a Koran course and dreamed of becoming a suicide bomberThere are eight forms of Jihad, and three are very prominent in America: educational, media, and political JihadMuslims are allowed and encouraged to lie about their religion to further their cause, which is why Americans believe Islam is peacefulWe must stand for truth, stand with the people of Israel, and stand against Jihad on American soil🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/4rdWqTFIslam in the West video: https://bit.ly/3X5vRlUAmerica Waking Up Video: https://bit.ly/3K0iPTGIsik’s books: https://isikabla.com/shop-isiks-books/Dearborn, MI, ‘America’s Jihad Capital’: https://bit.ly/4iDQyzfSecurity Increases in Dearborn, MI: https://bit.ly/48ij0TSMust Control Who Enters U.S.: https://bit.ly/49SUZE5Michigan Protestors Chant ‘Death to America’: https://bit.ly/48SneS 🔗 CONNECT WITH ISIK ABLAWebsite: https://isikabla.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/isikablatvInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/isikablatv/X: https://x.com/isikablatvYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/IsikAblaTV📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYTiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINATruPlay (get 30% off with code Tina30): https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMomRogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinaMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #isikabla #jihad #muslim #fundamentalism #quran #islam #allah #hijab #islamic #oppression

Jihad. Is it the struggle to live a virtuous life? Or is it something far more sinister? Is it the “holy war” that fundamentalist Muslims are waging against westernized society? To understand the factions of Islam throughout the world and its impact on America, Dr. Robert Greer, an assistant professor at Liberty University, unpacks the four major sects of Islam: folk, fundamentalist, moderate, and reformed. Folk Islam is the most “superficial form” of Islam, and it requires a minimal amount of faith. Fundamentalists are the most “extreme,” as seen in places like Gaza or in the rank-and-file of Hamas terrorist cells. Moderates are a blend of westernized idealism and core Quran teachings, while reformed Muslims are essentially seeking to revolutionize their own faith from the inside out. And a warning to all, Islamic fundamentalism or terrorism is not a “hijacking” of Islam - it IS Islam, says Robert.TAKEAWAYSMuhammad the prophet is believed by Muslims to be the final prophet of AllahThe Quran, the Islamic holy book, is divided into two halves that explore two different time periods of Muhammad’s lifeMost people in America have no idea what the teachings of Islam really are, and believe it promotes peace, when it’s the exact oppositeReformed Islamists do not believe that the Quran is inspired, and they do not believe in global Jihad🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEDonate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3LA1IIPSign up for Angel Membership: www.angel.com/TinaGFauci Documentary: https://bit.ly/446QOkcFauci Trailer: https://bit.ly/3LIIAZjMamdani’s Hostile Takeover: https://bit.ly/3JMNJirMinneapolis Allows Muslim Prayer: https://bit.ly/48x1A4DQur’an Revealed book: https://amzn.to/4iCxuBDLeadership Secrets of Muhammed book: https://amzn.to/3KJjnOThe Gospel book: https://amzn.to/4pmk4w4🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

The challenges of overseas missionary work are not just difficult for those who are on the field. Struggles and emotional battles can happen to those who are left on the home front, as well! This is the reality that Ann Bowman faced when her adult children (one married with children) moved to foreign countries to provide medical assistance in areas that desperately needed it. Ann is the author of I Never Signed Up For This: One Mother’s Journey to Surrender Her Children to Their Calling. She lends valuable insight into what it’s like to let go and let God. Ann also discusses the challenges that missionary families experience when their parents or loved ones fail to support them in their difficult endeavors serving the Lord. She says this is one of the biggest issues missionaries face. Supporting them is so important! “Consider God’s plan, instead of your plan,” says Ann.TAKEAWAYSTCK refers to ‘third culture kids,’ or kids who are born in the country of their parents’ passports and then raised in a different countryThere may not be as much stability in a missionary field as in the corporate world, but God’s work takes priorityIt’s important to go through the grieving process, but also be supportive when family moves away to serve the LordThere is great excitement as well as great hardship in serving overseas and it’s important the church supports all people involved🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODETruth and Treason movie: https://www.angel.com/watch/truth-and-treasonTruth and Treason trailer: https://bit.ly/4r8krM3I Never Signed Up For This book: https://amzn.to/3LTYIHH🔗 CONNECT WITH ANN BOWMANWebsite: https://www.alifeoverseas.com/i-never-signed-up-for-this/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYTiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINACapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinLifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttps://counterculturemom.com/download-new-app/💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #annbowman #Missions #GlobalMissions #ServeTheNations #FaithInAction #WorldOutreach #ServeOverseas #GlobalService #MissionAbroad #GoServe #BeyondBorders #ThirdCultureKids #TCKLife #RaisingTCKs #GlobalFamily #CrossCulturalKids #MedicalMissions #HealthcareHeroesAbroad #GlobalMedicalOutreach #ServeThroughMedicine #HealingHandsWorldwide
