During a traumatic event, the brain is primed to respond reflexively to ensure survival. But that same line of defense that keeps us safe can also keep clients trapped in cycles of traumatic memory. Trauma comes in many forms and the cycles of trauma can manifest in many ways.

In this episode, our host shares his own struggles with PTSD, as well as some practical tips to handle the resurgence of anxiety that may develop even after PTSD seems beaten.

Know that through each step, God is with you. Our Heavenly Father will NEVER leave you. Even when you can't feel His presence, the Lord is there, right beside you.

Have you ever walked through a season where what you see looks nothing like what God promised? Maybe the circumstances feel contradictory. Maybe the timing feels off.

In today’s episode, Yilda Rivera talks about grasping God’s promises even when the situation or what we perceive is at odds with the promise. And she shares a testimony in which the Lord gave her a revelation in the form of a one-word promise—that at that moment, she didn’t know how to grasp.

If you’re in the messy middle… or if you just need to be reminded that God is still faithful even when everything around you is shifting, listen to this episode and learn how to anchor yourself in who God is and what He sees.

Click to listen to this encouraging episode and discover that in those seemingly nonsensical places, God’s glory shines the brightest. You are not alone, and God’s promise over your life still stands.

Every year the debate rages: When should we start putting up our Christmas tree? Our Christmas decorations?

Our host used to firmly be the in not-before-thanksgiving camp. He was a staunch supporter of waiting until December. But that changed one year.

What caused the change of heart? What caused our host to decide it was ok to start putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving?

Listen to this episode and find the JOY we all have in Christmas, and let's all do our part to spread that joy to others.

The Bible calls the Holy Spirit our helper, and one of the ways the Spirit of God helps us is through our prayers. God's Spirit will intercede on our behalf. He will pray for us, He will pray with us.

In this episode, our Hosts share a testimony about multiple surgeries for malignant melanoma. They show practical ways to pray for the surgery and discuss how the Holy Spirit prays for them and with them.

Listen and know that God is always with you, and that when you are unable to prayer, the Holy Spirit will pray on your behalf.
