She's Back! We bring back our good friend Dr. Jessica Fripp as we discuss an important and necessary topic!

We all have an idea as to what Mental Health and Counseling looks like. But some of us may have a common misconception as to WHAT it is and HOW we go about it. 

We address questions such as:

• What is Mental Health?
• What is Counseling?
• How do I know if I need it?
• If I need Counseling, where do I start?

Take this journey with us as we dive into Mental Health and Counseling.

If you're looking to take a next step with your Mental Health or need Counseling, check out Psychology Today

Are you having a bad week?
Are you having a good week?

You're allowed to have bad days, but what do you do with them? 
You're also allowed to have good days, but how are you capitalizing them?

In this episode, we talk about both! We discuss healthy practical steps in our approach to bad days and good days and how God is at the center of both.

What are you currently seeking in life? Regardless if it's healthy for you, or unhealthy, whatever you focus on, you'll get.

All of us are seeking something in life, but are you seeking the right things? What you seek, you will find. If you stay on the path you're on, will you like what you'll find? If not, you need to seek something new.

Join us as we talk about the importance of seeking the right things that build our walk with Christ and not the things that distract us from Him.

Also, take a listen to my friends Andy Lehman and Joel Demott on The Dudes and Dads Podcast with their special guest Tim Miller: Inner Healing Prayer.

In this episode, I sit down with my wife as we talk about one of the most important things all people on the planet can't live without, FRIENDS!

You may be someone who refers to themself as a "Loner" or an "Introvert". But guess what? Even you need friends! God created us to belong together in community and He will never call you to do something in life without the backing of His people.

If you've ever struggled to have friends in your life or some form of community, this episode is for you.

A lot of todays episode comes from Pastor Andy Stanley's famous series called "Guardrails". Our church did a version on and it's available at "Guardrails: Why Can't We Be Friends"
