Utah's Hope

You keep telling yourself, “I should be over this by now.” But the same anger, shutdowns, and quiet resentment keep leaking out—at home, at God, at the people you love most. Alicia Michelle, author of Emotional Confidence: Three Simple Steps to Manage Emotions with Science and Scripture, hands you practical emotional intelligence skills to finally deal with what’s underneath—without blowing up your faith or your relationships.

An emergency fund can be the difference between a financial setback and a financial crisis—but only if it’s built the right way. Many people know they should have an emergency fund, but they’re unsure how much to save—or where that money should actually be kept. On the next Faith & Finance Live, Rob West talks about developing an emergency fund, so the reserves are available when you need them most. Then, it’s on to your calls. That’s Faith and Finance Live . . . biblical wisdom for your financial decisions. That’s weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.

Mother’s Day can sting when your story didn’t turn out like you planned. Maybe that looks like wayward kids. Courtrooms. Even prison sentences. And silence where relationship used to be. Ron Deal talks with author Carol Kent about loving a son serving life in prison—and finding faith when the worst actually happens. If you’re carrying shame, regret, or heartbreak as a mom or stepmom, this conversation sits with you in it—and refuses to let despair win.
