Christian Mix 106 On Demand

What happens when God asks you to walk away from something you’ve spent 15 years building? Something you love. Something that helped shape you. Something that provided for your family. Something you once believed God Himself had placed in your hands. In this deeply personal episode of the Upright Christian Parenting Podcast, host, author, homeschool mom, and Christian parent Hannah Pierrou shares a story she hasn’t fully told before—a testimony of hearing God’s voice, wrestling with surrender, trusting His provision, and finding the courage to obey when His calling no longer looks the way you expected. The story begins years ago: a sleepy new-mama season, a husband deployed overseas, 29 days of silence, and an unexpected lifeline that would eventually grow into something Hannah could never have predicted. For 15 years, God used it. He grew it. He provided through it. And then, quietly, Hannah began to sense Him asking her to do the one thing she never expected: Walk away. But how do you know when it’s really God asking you to let go? What do you do when obedience to God collides with financial security? When the thing you’re being asked to surrender isn’t bad—but good? When walking by faith means releasing something familiar before you can clearly see what comes next? Hannah shares the private wrestling behind the decision: the whispers she initially questioned, the fear surrounding finances, the moments of confirmation, and what began happening when she finally said yes. And that’s where the story takes a turn. Unexpected provision. New opportunities. Doors opening at just the right time. And a growing realization that perhaps God wasn’t simply asking Hannah to end something. He was making room for something else. If you’re in a season of transition, waiting, surrender, career change, Christian motherhood, finding your purpose, discerning God’s will, or trying to hear God’s voice, this episode is for you. It’s a vulnerable Christian testimony about trusting God when you don’t have the whole plan, following the Holy Spirit, choosing faith over fear, recognizing when God is closing a season, and having the courage to obey before you know the outcome. Because sometimes the hardest thing God asks us to surrender isn’t something wrong. Sometimes it’s something we love. And sometimes you don’t understand why He’s asking you to lay it down until you finally open your hands. Topics: Christian testimony, hearing God’s voice, discerning God’s will, obedience to God, trusting God, biblical surrender, Christian motherhood, Christian parenting, walking by faith, faith over fear, God’s calling, finding your purpose, trusting God with finances, God’s provision, career transition, Holy Spirit guidance, following Jesus, Christian encouragement, homeschool mom, biblical worldview, Christian family, and Upright Christian Parenting.

You can be highly successful and still be running on empty.If you’re a high-achieving woman, business owner, or career woman who is exhausted, overwhelmed, struggling with brain fog, sleeping poorly, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore, this conversation is going to make you think differently about the cost of your success.In this episode of the Treasured Wellness Podcast, I’m talking with Leah Hadley, financial professional, author, and founder of Intentional Wealth Partners, about something we don’t often connect: your health and your financial future.Leah works with women making significant financial decisions, including high earners and women navigating major life transitions such as divorce and separation. And she sees a pattern that is remarkably similar to what I see in women experiencing high-functioning fatigue.They keep pushing.They sacrifice sleep, meals, rest, relationships and time for themselves because the business, career, family or next goal feels more important.And because they’re still functioning, they don’t always recognize what that depletion is costing them.We get real as we talk about:• Why high-functioning fatigue can be a slow fade rather than a sudden crisis• How chronic stress and exhaustion can affect eating patterns, sleep, relationships and clear thinking• Why successful women often sacrifice their health for business and career success• The connection between health, energy and your ability to lead and make decisions• Why investing in your health should be viewed as an investment rather than simply an expense• How small compromises compound over time, both negatively and positively• Why doing everything at once can actually keep you from creating lasting healthy habits• The simple power of blocking time for yourself during a demanding workday• What it can cost when depletion eventually forces a woman to step away from work• Why owning your health matters just as much as owning your wealth• And why the future you’re building requires you to consider the health and energy you’ll need to actually live itIf you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll focus on myself and deal with my health when things calm down,” this power-packed episode is your invitation to ask a different question:What is my current way of living costing me... and what would change if I began intentionally stewarding my health now?This isn’t another conversation about doing more…. because you are already doing a ton.It’s about getting honest about what you’re already doing, recognizing the patterns, and making one intentional change that can begin to compound in the right direction.Treasure your wellness,MichelleGet your copy of the Treasured Wellness Journal to start leaning into what your body is saying and signaling to you.

Send us Fan MailAt 45, Beth Caulfield thought she knew what the next chapter of her life would look like. She was raising older children, attending seminary and pursuing what she believed God had called her to do.Then she discovered she was pregnant.Beth found herself asking a question many of us have asked in very different circumstances:“I thought I knew the plan here. How does this fit into the plan?”That unexpected chapter ultimately became the inspiration for the faith-based film CONCEIVABLE.In this episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren talks with Beth about navigating an unexpected pregnancy, conflicting advice and opinions, discerning God's voice when everyone seems to have something to say, and trusting Him when life takes a direction you never anticipated.Beth also takes us behind the scenes of turning her personal story into a feature film—from learning screenwriting and finding the cast to persevering through four years of obstacles, sacrifice and uncertainty.But some of the most powerful moments came after women began watching the film.Beth shares what happened when one woman approached her after a screening and said, “I thought I was alone,” and how another woman's response showed her that God could use Conceivable to open conversations about forgiveness, healing and freedom.Whether you're facing an unexpected circumstance, waiting on God, pursuing something He's placed on your heart, or simply wondering “How does this fit into the plan?”, this conversation is a reminder to keep seeking His voice in the middle of uncertainty.

You know when you are still showing up for everyone who asks you to, still getting most things done, but what used to light you up is starting to feel like just one more thing on the list?You built the business. You built the career. You raised the family. You have responsibilities, influence, people counting on you, and you are still getting things done. But you don’t wake up with the same energy. Your sleep isn’t restorative. Your brain feels foggier. You are more easily overwhelmed, and less resilient. The tasks you are doing are taking longer. No one else is noticing because you are smiling through it all but you are and it is taking a toll.The things you used to enjoy feel like one more thing to do. Deep down inside you wonder, what happened to me? You are a do-er. It’s how you’ve always gotten through life. It’s a big part of you… a woman who takes action. Sometimes, with no hesitation. You lead and you excel at your work but as far as your personal life? It’s been pushed to the background more times than you would like to admit.And it’s starting to take its toll on you deep inside. You may not be burned out. You may not have stopped functioning. But you may be slowly losing the joy of the life you worked so hard to build. And that deserves attention before your body forces you to pay attention. (because it will)This is a faith-based, functional, root-cause approach to women’s health in midlife.Grounded in Scripture always and made for the exhausted, high-achieving Christian woman who is ready to own her health with intention not overwhelm and with God at the center.If this episode has you realizing you’ve been drowning in women’s wellness advice and you want more personalized support to help you understand what your own body is saying… you don’t need another unhelpful list of to-do’s.You need understanding of what your own body is saying to you.Decide right now that you are cutting out the overwhelm and confusion in your midlife health.I want you to have a calm confidence in how to steward your own health…just like you lead your team.And if this episode is stirring you to want to be your own best advocate for your midlife health…and that you know that your “normal” labs never told the whole story…you may be ready for monthly support to walk this out inside The Sanctuary to help you go deeper. Figuring out what your body actually needs is not something you have to guess at alone, at midnight, on the internet. That is exactly what we do together inside The Sanctuary. It is my membership for the woman who is done trying all the things and ready to steward her health, with support. We do not pile a stack of new rules on you. We take one wellness focus at a time.

WELCOME TO SEASON 5!!! What does it look like to educate children not just for academic success—but to know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to live it out with courage? In this two-part conversation on the Upright Christian Parenting Podcast, Hannah Pierrou sits down with Dr. Sue Head of College of the Ozarks and Andrew Pyatt, a graduate of both School of the Ozarks and College of the Ozarks who returned to teach theology and classical humanities. Together, they explore a different vision for Christian education—one rooted in faith, character, hard work, truth, goodness, beauty, and preparing the next generation to follow Christ in the real world. Andrew shares how classical Christian education shaped his own faith, from wrestling with comparison and difficult questions as a teenager to discovering a deeper understanding of Jesus, theology, and the Incarnation. Now, as a teacher, he is helping another generation of students wrestle with the Great Books, church history, Scripture, and the big questions of life. Dr. Head takes us behind the scenes of School of the Ozarks and College of the Ozarks, including their unique work-education model, commitment to Christian discipleship, low-tech approach to learning, patriotic education, support for veterans, and emphasis on developing young adults who understand both the dignity of hard work and the responsibility of influence. The conversation also gets incredibly practical for parents. How much technology should be in our children's education? What happens when kids are never allowed to be bored? How do phones affect their ability to think deeply? How can parents help their children develop a biblical worldview instead of simply inheriting someone else's beliefs? And what does it look like to raise kids who are prepared to influence culture without being consumed by it? One of the most important themes throughout this conversation is simple: our children eventually have to own their faith for themselves. Christian parenting and Christian education aren't about retreating from the world. They're about forming young people who know Christ, can think critically, work hard, communicate well, serve others, and understand what they believe and why. And that formation doesn't begin with influence on a national stage. It begins at home. It begins around the family dinner table. In Parts 1 & 2, we discuss: • Classical Christian education and the Great Books • Raising children with a strong biblical worldview • Helping teenagers make their Christian faith their own • Christian discipleship and spiritual formation • Truth, goodness, and beauty in education • College of the Ozarks and School of the Ozarks • The College of the Ozarks work-education model • Teaching kids the value of hard work • Christian parenting in today's culture • Technology, smartphones, AI, and education • Why boredom, stillness, and deep thinking matter • Low-tech education and handwritten learning • Patriotism, citizenship, and honoring America's veterans • Preparing Christian students for cultural influence • The importance of the family dinner table • Parental involvement in children's education • Building strong local Christian communities • Returning to Jesus as the center of cultural renewal Whether your children attend public school, private Christian school, classical school, or are homeschooled, this conversation offers encouragement for parents who want to raise grounded, thoughtful, hardworking kids who lov

Send us Fan MailJulie lost her mother to cancer at 19 and her father to suicide at 27. For years, she survived by pushing down her emotions while trying to faithfully follow Jesus, raise a family, and serve in ministry. Eventually, the trauma she had never processed caught up with her, leading Julie to seek professional help and begin naming wounds she hadn't previously known how to describe.Julie shares how counseling helped her understand emotional neglect, abandonment, attachment, and the ways childhood wounds had affected her relationship with God. She also explains why getting professional help does not mean we lack faith—and how Scripture, counseling, community, and honest lament can all be part of the healing journey.We also unpack one of the practical teachings from Julie's book Hopeful Sorrow: the biblical practice of lament. Using Psalm 13, Julie walks through four simple steps:Turn to God in faith.Tell Him honestly how you feel.Ask Him boldly for help.Choose to trust His character even before you know the outcome.Then Julie shares an extraordinary chapter of redemption she never expected. After years of identifying herself as an adult orphan and trusting God as a Father to the fatherless, a longtime friendship developed into a mother-daughter relationship—and Julie was legally adopted as an adult.Her story is a beautiful reminder that God may still be writing chapters we haven't even thought to ask Him for.If you've experienced father wounds, childhood trauma, grief, abandonment, emotional neglect, suicide loss, or difficulty seeing God as a loving Father, this conversation is for you.IN THIS EPISODE00:00 The redemption Julie never expected 00:25 Julie Busler returns to The Redeemed Podcast 01:45 Losing her mom at 19 and her dad to suicide 04:20 Understanding emotional neglect and father wounds 07:00 Processing anger and complicated grief 08:15 Faith, ministry and getting professional help 11:55 How childhood wounds follow us into adulthood 13:35 Breaking generational cycles as a parent 15:55 Why joy and sorrow can coexist 17:05 What biblical lament really means 18:20 How father wounds can affect our view of God 19:10 Four steps of lament from Psalm 13 20:40 The unexpected chapter God was writing 23:30 “I have a mom”: Julie's adult adoption story 26:30 Responding to criticism and misunderstood wounds 28:45 Adult adoption and the Gospel 30:15 Hope when you think your story is already over 32:00 Where healing can begin 33:20 Hopeful Sorrow and connecting with Julie 34:10 Lauren's encouragement for those carrying father wounds 36:00 A prayer for healingCONNECT WITH JULIE BUSLERWebsite: juliebusler.com Instagram & Facebook: @juliebuslerLook for Julie's books Hopeful Sorrow: Turning to God in Hope When Childhood Wounds Have You Turning Away and Joyful Sorrow wherever books are sold.CONNECT WITH LAURENVisit laurenburns.net for The Redeemed Podcast, speaking events, resources, and Lauren's book STOLEN: True Story—Kidnapped, Rescued, Redeemed.If this conversation encouraged you, subscribe to The Redeemed Podcast, leave a comment, and share this episode with someone who may need the reminder that their story is not finished.

Send us Fan MailHow do you trust God as a good Father when your earthly father was absent, emotionally unavailable, abusive, or unable to give you the love you needed?In this powerful episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with author and speaker Kia Stephens for an honest conversation about father wounds, forgiveness, healing, childhood wounds, and learning to trust God as our Heavenly Father.Kia grew up in the church, but as she entered adulthood, she began wrestling with a difficult question: If God is a Father to the fatherless, what does that actually mean when you've experienced the pain of an absent father?Kia shares the seemingly ordinary moment involving a bookshelf that uncovered years of hidden pain, how father wounds affected her relationships and need for validation, and how our relationship with our earthly father can influence the way we view God.Lauren and Kia also talk honestly about biblical forgiveness—what forgiveness is, what it is NOT, why forgiveness and healthy boundaries can coexist, and why healing is often a journey rather than a single moment.One of Kia's most powerful realizations:“I failed to realize that while I was pursuing my biological father, God had been pursuing me.”If you've struggled with father wounds, childhood wounds, unforgiveness, abandonment, or trusting God after painful experiences, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about: • Recognizing father wounds you didn't know you carried • How an absent father can affect identity and relationships • Searching for validation when a father's love is missing • How our earthly father can influence the way we see God • Wrestling honestly with God • Learning to trust God as a good Father • What forgiveness is—and what it isn't • Why forgiveness and healthy boundaries can coexist • How God can redeem our deepest wounds • Recognizing the ways God has been pursuing us all along OVERCOMING FATHER WOUNDS — KIA STEPHENSKia Stephens is the author of Overcoming Father Wounds, a biblical and practical resource for women seeking healing from the wounds left by an absent, distant, or difficult earthly father.Learn more about Kia, her ministry, and Overcoming Father Wounds at KiaStephens.com.Overcoming Father Wounds https://a.co/d/0aj138k0 STOLEN — LAUREN BURNSSTOLEN: subscribepage.io/R8EW8e laurenburns.net Lauren Burns is the author of STOLEN: True Story.

One year after the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, Pastor Lucas Miles shares the deeply personal story of their final days together—including Charlie’s invitation for Lucas to join him in Utah, the last moment they shared onstage, and the final message Charlie sent after sharing the gospel with leaders in Japan. Lucas Miles—Vice President of Turning Point USA and Head of TPUSA Faith—joins our host & his sister, Hannah, for an honest conversation about Charlie Kirk’s faith, leadership, assassination, and lasting impact on the Church and the next generation. Lucas recounts where he was when he received the call that Charlie had been shot, the fear and grief that followed, and what it has been like continuing the mission without the friend and leader who first called him into it. He also shares why the moment Charlie handed him the microphone has carried such profound meaning ever since. But this conversation is about more than remembering Charlie. It is a challenge to Christians, churches, and parents to continue what mattered most to him: boldly sharing the gospel, speaking truth with grace, having difficult conversations, and raising children who know what they believe and are courageous enough to live it. Hannah and Lucas also discuss: • The unexpected way Charlie recruited Lucas to lead TPUSA Faith • What Charlie was really like behind the scenes • The leadership lessons he left with the Turning Point team • Charlie’s final gospel message from Japan • Lucas’s experience of grief, trauma, and the call that changed everything • Why bold churches are growing • Balancing courage, hard work, Sabbath, and biblical rest • The mission to raise the most Christian generation of all time • Why parents must be willing to say hard things with both grace and truth • The “Save a Seat for Charlie” campaign • The rise of paganism, Marxism, and occult spirituality among young people • Lucas’s New York Times bestselling book, The Pagan Threat This is a deeply personal conversation about faith, courage, legacy, parenting, and what it means to carry the mission forward.

You know when you keep forgetting words, blanking on names, and walking into rooms with no idea why? If you are a woman in your 40s, 50s, or early 60s who has quietly googled “early signs of dementia” or “menopause brain fog,” this episode will encourage you.Because the truth is….you can run a boardroom and still lose the word in the middle of a sentence. On paper you present as “fine”, (ie your lab work) but deep down you know something is off. In episode 370 of the Treasured Wellness podcast, we walk through diligence, the 5th mark of a good health steward in the Health Stewardship series.We get into what is really behind midlife memory loss and brain fog.You will hear why just over 60% of women experience these cognitive changes during the menopause transition, why for most women it is not early dementia, and what the functional research says your brain actually needs beyond conventional advice of “don’t smoke, avoid diabetes, and exercise.” We talk about estrogen and the midlife brain, blood sugar, deep sleep, cortisol and stress, and the root-cause habits that lift the fog. And we look at why the $22 billion menopause market is mostly a wall of products, while diligence means looking deeper.This is a faith-based, functional, root-cause approach to women’s health in midlife. Grounded in Scripture and made for the exhausted, high-achieving Christian woman who is ready to steward her brain, body, and spirit with intention.If this episode has you realizing you’ve been drowning in women’s wellness advice and you want a more personalized tool to help you understand what your own body is saying… you don’t need another unhelpful health app.You need a place to start.The Treasured Wellness Journal is the whole health restoration tool to help you begin asking the question that changes everything: “Lord, how do I start to treasure my wellness?”Inside, you’ll get the foundational, faith fueled tools to start understanding what your body is actually saying, and what to focus on first, while leaving room for your real life and true capacity.And if this episode put words to something you’ve felt for years, that your normal labs never told the whole story, that’s exactly where we go deeper this month.Inside the Sanctuary, our members’ home, I’m teaching what your labs are really saying, functional versus conventional, and the markers most doctors never check.

Tim Hawkins on Raising Kids, Chasing Success & Coming Back to Jesus PART 1 of 2: You probably know Tim Hawkins for making families laugh. But this conversation goes somewhere much deeper. In this two-part conversation, Hannah sits down with comedian Tim Hawkins for an unexpectedly honest discussion about parenting, marriage, raising kids in the faith, homeschooling, calling, success, burnout—and what happens when the life you've worked so hard to build begins taking more from you than you realized. Tim shares what he and his wife learned raising their children and why they intentionally resisted becoming overly focused on producing a particular “result” in their kids. They talk about giving children room to wrestle with difficult questions about faith, maintaining boundaries without parenting from fear, and raising children who actually still want to come home when they're grown. They also dig into humor and family life—including the surprising ways sarcasm can become a defense mechanism, why not every uncomfortable moment needs a joke, and how learning to communicate honestly can transform conflict in both parenting and marriage. But as the conversation continues, Tim gets deeply personal about his own journey. At the height of a demanding comedy career—touring extensively, managing employees, buses, travel and the constant pressure to create—Tim realized something wasn't right. His energy was depleted, his family was getting what was left of him, and eventually his marriage reached a breaking point. Tim shares what that season taught him about success, being truly present with the people you love, knowing when something has run its course, and ultimately coming back to the simplicity of the Gospel. This is a conversation about much more than comedy. It's about raising kids without trying to control the outcome. Building something without allowing it to consume you. Knowing when to put down the hustle and be present. And remembering that Christianity isn't ultimately about making our lives more successful—it's about Jesus. There are plenty of laughs along the way (it is Tim Hawkins, after all), but stick with this conversation through Part Two and all the way to the very end. Some of the most vulnerable and encouraging moments happen in the final minutes. IN THIS CONVERSATION: • Tim Hawkins on parenting and raising four kids • Raising children who still want a relationship with you as adults • Why parents can't control the outcome of their children's faith • Giving kids permission to ask difficult questions about God • Boundaries versus authoritarian parenting • Tim and his family's experience with homeschooling • Raising teenagers without parenting from fear • Sarcasm, humor and emotional avoidance • Learning healthier communication in marriage and parenting • Why “always” and “never” can destroy productive conflict • Helping kids discover their individual gifts and calling • College, gap years and the changing path into adulthood • Why young adults face different challenges than previous generations • Tim's unconventional path from college baseball to comedy • Building a creative career without losing yourself • Fame, social media and staying authentic • Why clean comedy still matters • Tim Hawkins' Fist Bump comedy special • The emotional cost of success • What happens when work gets the best of you and your family gets the leftovers • Tim's deeply personal season of exhaustion and marital separation • Learni

Are we failing our boys by asking them to behave more like girls instead of understanding how God designed them? If you have BOYS...this one is a must! In this powerful conversation, Hannah sits down with Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, to talk about the challenges facing boys today—and what Christian parents can do to raise strong, courageous, Christ-centered young men. Mark shares why boys need movement, adventure, challenge, strong male role models, biblical truth, and opportunities to do hard things. Together, Hannah and Mark unpack the differences between boys and girls, why many traditional classrooms struggle to engage boys, the importance of fathers and godly male mentorship, and why lowering expectations may be hurting boys rather than helping them. They also dive into the story behind Trail Life USA, the Christ-centered, boy-focused alternative to traditional scouting, and why the organization has remained committed to biblical values in a rapidly changing culture. If you're raising a son, homeschooling boys, wondering why your boy struggles to sit still or stay engaged, or simply want to understand biblical masculinity and how to raise godly young men, this conversation is one you don't want to miss.

Send us Fan MailWhat are you still carrying because you believe you have a right to carry it?Anger. Resentment. Betrayal. Father wounds. An apology you never received. Years you can't get back.In this solo episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns talks honestly about biblical forgiveness and what it means to surrender anger and resentment without pretending the hurt wasn't real.While reading Jeremiah 32, Lauren was struck by an unusual act of faith: God tells Jeremiah to purchase a field while Jerusalem is under siege and the land is being overtaken by Babylon.From a human perspective, it makes absolutely no sense.But Jeremiah acts on something he cannot yet see: God has promised restoration on the other side of devastation.And that raises an important question:What if forgiveness is believing God enough to release what happened and trust Him with what comes next?Lauren also shares from her own journey of healing while writing STOLEN: A True Story—Kidnapped, Rescued, Redeemed, including what God has continued to teach her about father wounds, anger, forgiveness and healing. The transcript makes clear that writing the book has continued to uncover layers of healing rather than simply revisiting a story that was already completely resolved.In this episode:Why forgiveness doesn't mean what happened was okayThe difference between forgiveness and reconciliationWhy healthy boundaries can still be necessaryWhat Jeremiah's field teaches us about trusting God's futureHow unforgiveness can affect relationships, marriage and parentingWhy healing can happen in layersHow to surrender anger when it feels justifiedWhy the devastation doesn't get the final wordOne truth to remember:Your wound may be part of your story, but it does not get to write the ending.Jeremiah saw devastation. God saw restoration.Maybe today God is asking you to trust Him with what you've been carrying.

What is the ONE thing that has been missing from you health goals, intentions and plans? Monday you start strong.By Thursday the plan is buried, and by next Monday you are starting over, a little more discouraged. With a start and stop cycle you have developed for decades, you have started to believe the problem is you. (Free live masterclass tonight (if you’re listening the day this drops): Stop Normalizing Exhaustion.)Today we’re talking about the one thing that’s been missing every single time you started over. And I promise you, it isn’t your willpower.Episode 3 of the Biblical Stewardship of Your Health series is for the Christian professional woman who cannot seem to make healthy habits stick on her own for a life of healthy living.You will hear why the all-or-nothing trap so many driven women fall into, makes habits collapse.We get into some actual data about changing habits and creating new healthy habits alongside someone else that will maybe not surprise you in the simplicity of it but will encourage you as well.You will hear from scripture what God says about accountability and community.Accountability is a vital factor in anything we set our hearts and minds to.The truth is, we were never meant to steward our health in isolation.If you are tired of starting over alone on Mondays, this episode is for you.If you are ready to steward your health to live with energy and focus consider becoming a subscriber.Treasure your wellness.XO, Michelle*DISCLAIMER:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice to treat any medical condition in either yourself or others.

PART 2 of 2...Be sure to go back and listen to Part 2 after giving the first episode a listen! What does it really mean to educate a child—and have parents handed too much of that responsibility over to schools? In this bold conversation, Hannah sits down with Sam Sorbo, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, international speaker, host of The Sam Sorbo Show, and longtime advocate for educational freedom. Together, they take an unfiltered look at the state of education, the rise of homeschooling, parental rights, and why Sam believes families need to rethink the difference between schooling and truly educating a child. Sam challenges parents to consider what education is actually supposed to produce—not simply good grades, test scores, or academic achievement, but capable, responsible adults who know how to think, build relationships, forgive, love, work, and navigate real life. Hannah and Sam also discuss the growing concerns surrounding the public school system, protecting childhood innocence, government involvement in education, the myth that homeschoolers lack socialization, and why keeping our children close gives parents more opportunities for discipleship and real-world learning. And the conversation doesn't stop at school. Sam brings that same challenge into the church, asking Christian parents to consider whether we've outsourced too much of our children's spiritual formation as well. This episode is a powerful reminder that parents are their children's primary teachers and disciplers. Whether you homeschool, send your children to public or private school, or are simply questioning what education should look like for your family, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about who—and what—is shaping your kids. In this episode: Sam Sorbo's case for educational freedom and homeschooling The difference between schooling and true education Public schools, parental rights, and protecting childhood innocence Why parents shouldn't assume they aren't qualified to teach their children Homeschool socialization and real-world learning Raising responsible, capable adults instead of prolonging adolescence Why discipleship requires proximity Sunday school, family worship, and parents' role in spiritual formation Taking back responsibility for the education and discipleship of our children Upright Christian Parenting equips parents to raise children with a bold biblical worldview in today's sideways culture. ----more---- Special Thanks to Our Sponsor College of the Ozarks & School of the Ozarks The future of America depends on the character, faith, and formation of the next generation.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the season you desperately want God to end is actually a season He is using?Waiting for healing. Waiting for a relationship to change. Waiting for a child. Waiting for direction. Waiting for a dream God placed in your heart to finally become reality.In this episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with author and Bible teacher Paige Allen to talk about what it means to trust God when His timing doesn't look anything like ours.Drawing from her new book, Matriarchs: What the Women of Genesis Teach Us About Our Part in God's Story, Paige takes us into the lives of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah—women who received promises from God but often had to wait years before seeing those promises unfold.Paige also shares her own story of waiting seven years after a publisher rejected her first book because she “didn't have a platform.” What felt like wasted years ultimately became part of the very message God was preparing her to write.In this conversation, you'll hear about:Why your waiting season may not be wastedWhat Sarah's story teaches us about trying to force God's timingHow to recognize the difference between expectancy and expectationsWhat to do when God seems silentHow to hold onto hope when circumstances haven't changedWhy sometimes the most honest prayer is simply, “Jesus, I need You”How to discern God's calling from all the good opportunities competing for your attentionWhy God may be doing something in you while you're waiting for Him to do something for you00:00 Your Waiting Isn't Wasted01 Meet Paige Allen & Matriarchs04 What the Women of Genesis Teach Us08 Why Waiting on God Isn't Wasted12 Sarah, Hagar & Trying to Force God's Timing17 Paige's 7-Year Wait to Become a Published Author22 How to Hold Onto Hope When God Seems Silent27 Expectancy vs. Expectations31 How to Know What God Is Calling You to Do36 Trusting God When You Can't See the Outcome40 A Prayer for Anyone in a Waiting SeasonIf you're asking, “God, do You hear me?” “Why is this taking so long?” or “What am I supposed to do while I wait?” this conversation is for you.

You may feel like you have tried everything to regain your energy and the “you” you used to be….The elimination diet you followed to a T. The copious amount of supplements lined up on the counter like little toy soldiers. The early hard workouts, the green smoothies and juices, the app that reminds you to drink your water and just breathe already. You have read the books. You have followed the plans. And you are still tired. Still exhausted. So at night, when you lie down and your mind will not settle down, a small little voice inside you starts to ask the question you may be afraid of saying out loud because you aren’t trying to be a negative Nancy! But you may wonder…. What is even the point of trying again.Sister, I need you to hear this before we go one step further. You are far from alone. Many women are experiencing what you are right now.In a large global survey, among women 35 and older, the two most common experiences reported were fatigue and physical + mental exhaustion, both above 80%. 80 PERCENT!There was one functional-health source that estimates up to 40 percent of adults still feel exhausted after trying the usual changes. That is pretty high and one of my theories is because they may be keeping God out of their health changes.We simply can’t compartmentalize a brilliantly designed body. It’s all connected. Body, mind, spirit. You only focus on one part… you will only get partial results.Just like the neurologists only looking at my daughter’s brain for her migraines… they compartmentalized. And because they did that… we spent 3 years of our lives with no answer to show for it… her migraines weren’t the root problem… they were a symptom.So when you feel this high functioning fatigue and all the symptoms it brings with it, tired but wired, forgetting important details, using more mental energy to focus now, sheer exhaustion every single afternoon…. ….this is not a you problem. And the fact that you keep showing up, that you have not stopped looking for answers, is not foolishness or a waste of time. It is faithfulness with a backbone. It is determination.I am walking through this On August 25th in my free masterclass called Stop Normalizing Exhaustion. We are going to walk through why you are still so tired even though your labs look fine, and what faithful, root-cause stewardship of your body actually looks like from here.Listen to this week’s episode above to dig into this 2nd part of the Biblical Stewardship of Your Health Series on the Podcast.I pray this blesses you and moves you to action!XO, Michelle**Catch the Treasured Wellness Podcast here on Substack AND YouTubeFullscript Online Supplement Dispensaryhttps://treasuredwellness.com/journal/*DISCLAIMER:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice to treat any medical condition in either yourself or others.

PART 1 of 2...Be sure to go back and listen to Part 2 after giving the first episode a listen! What does it really mean to educate a child—and have parents handed too much of that responsibility over to schools? In this bold conversation, Hannah sits down with Sam Sorbo, bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, international speaker, host of The Sam Sorbo Show, and longtime advocate for educational freedom. Together, they take an unfiltered look at the state of education, the rise of homeschooling, parental rights, and why Sam believes families need to rethink the difference between schooling and truly educating a child. Sam challenges parents to consider what education is actually supposed to produce—not simply good grades, test scores, or academic achievement, but capable, responsible adults who know how to think, build relationships, forgive, love, work, and navigate real life. Hannah and Sam also discuss the growing concerns surrounding the public school system, protecting childhood innocence, government involvement in education, the myth that homeschoolers lack socialization, and why keeping our children close gives parents more opportunities for discipleship and real-world learning. And the conversation doesn't stop at school. Sam brings that same challenge into the church, asking Christian parents to consider whether we've outsourced too much of our children's spiritual formation as well. This episode is a powerful reminder that parents are their children's primary teachers and disciplers. Whether you homeschool, send your children to public or private school, or are simply questioning what education should look like for your family, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about who—and what—is shaping your kids.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when following Jesus could cost you your family, your community, and the identity you’ve known your entire life?In this episode of The Redeemed Podcast, Lauren Burns sits down with Bible teacher Sandi York to share her powerful journey from growing up in a traditional Jewish home to discovering a personal relationship with Jesus as the Messiah.Sandi grew up immersed in Jewish tradition in Birmingham, Alabama. She attended Jewish day school, and her parents ran Alabama’s only Jewish newspaper. But when her mother came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, Sandi was warned to keep that belief hidden from their Jewish family and community.For years, Sandi lived between two worlds—carrying secrecy, fear, and shame while trying to maintain the life others expected of her.After a short-lived marriage, difficult choices, and a season that brought her to rock bottom, Sandi found herself awake at 2:00 a.m., crying out to God.What happened next began changing everything.Within weeks, God opened doors for a job at a Christian radio station and a place to live through a coworker. For the first time, Sandi experienced Christian community up close. She began learning about prayer, devotionals, Scripture, and what it meant not simply to know about Jesus—but to surrender her life to Him as Lord.Eventually, Sandi faced another decision: Would she continue hiding her faith, or would she live unashamed of the gospel?Her decision to tell the truth led to letters sent to friends and family, painful backlash, public exposure, and strained relationships. But it also led to freedom, healing, restored relationships, and a faith she no longer had to hide.Today, Sandi teaches Scripture and encourages others to know God deeply and personally. She shares why **Song of Solomon 8:5—“Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?”—**has become such a meaningful picture of her walk with God.In this conversation, Lauren and Sandi talk about Judaism and Christianity, Messianic Jewish identity, family expectations, shame, secrecy, surrender, prayer, finding Jesus, spiritual transformation, and having the courage to live out your faith.If you have ever wrestled with family expectations, felt afraid to openly live out your faith, or wondered whether God could meet you at rock bottom, Sandi’s story is a reminder that He can meet us in the wilderness—and teach us to lean on Him.In This Episode00:00 Meet Sandi York 00:46 Judaism Basics and Jesus 03:28 Messianic Jewish Identity 03:55 Growing Up Jewish in Alabama 07:28 A Closet Faith at Thirteen 09:43 Double Life Through College 13:03 Marriage and Career Crossroads 14:47 Workplace Friendship Turns Affair 16:16 Rock Bottom and 2AM Prayer 18:32 A Job at Christian Radio 19:14 God Opens Doors 20:29 Devotionals at Work 21:44 Bible Study Breakthrough 24:18 Owning the Faith 25:53 No More Hiding 26:54 Letters and Fallout 30:18 Public Exposure Storm 32:46 Aftermath and Apologies 35:05 Leaning on Beloved 37:52 Contact and FarewellConnect with Sandi YorkLearn more about Sandi, her Bible teaching, ministry, and resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandi_york_Connect with Lauren BurnsLearn more about Lauren Burns, The Redeemed Podcast, speaking events, upcoming book information, and free resources:Website laurenburns.netBook STOLEN subscribepage.io/R8EW8e Instagram https://www.instagram.com/laurenburnsredeemed/Face

Episode Summary When a child walks away from the faith, embraces a new identity, or makes choices that leave parents heartbroken, how do you continue to love them without compromising biblical truth? How do you keep praying when nothing seems to change? In this deeply hope-filled episode of the Upright Christian Parenting Podcast, Hannah sits down with Debra McNinch, founder of Battle Cry Moms and author of The Battle Cry: Love Goes to War, to talk honestly about one of the hardest journeys a Christian parent can face: raising a prodigal child. After receiving a life-altering phone call from her adult child, Debra found herself wrestling with grief, unanswered prayers, and questions she never imagined asking. Rather than allowing pain to define her story, God led her to create a ministry that now encourages thousands of parents to stand firm in faith while praying for their children. Together, Hannah and Debra discuss: How to pray for a prodigal son or daughter without losing hope Loving children with truth and grace during difficult seasons Parenting adult children through identity struggles, rebellion, addiction, or unbelief The biblical importance of worship during suffering Practical ways to pray Scripture over your children every day Why Christian parents need "mat carriers"—faith-filled friends who will battle in prayer alongside them Finding purpose in your pain instead of allowing pain to become your identity Encouragement for parents waiting on God's timing and trusting Him in the middle of unanswered prayers One of the most powerful moments of the conversation is Debra's simple five-step battle plan for parents: Worship. Scripture. Prayer. God's Promises. Community. Whether you're praying for a prodigal child, navigating parenting through today's confusing culture, or simply looking for biblical encouragement to stay faithful, this episode is a reminder that no child is beyond God's reach—and no parent has to fight alone. In This Episode You'll Learn How to pray effectively for prodigal children What the Bible says about trusting God with adult children Biblical encouragement for parents of LGBTQ-identifying or rebellious children Why worship changes your perspective during painful seasons How to build a prayer strategy rooted in Scripture The importance of Christian community for struggling parents Why God's timing is different from ours—and why His promises remain trustworthy Resources Mentioned The Battle Cry: Love Goes to War by Debra McNinch https://www.debramcninch.com/battlecrybook https://www.debramcninch.com/ Battle Cry Moms Prayer Community https://www.debramcninch.com/battlecry Special Thanks to Our Sponsor College of the Ozarks & School of the Ozarks The future of America depends on the character, faith, and formation of the next generation.
