072 Terese Talk: When Anxiety Roars



It’s hard to believe in this day in age, the stigma around mental health issues is still hanging around. We can be loved, redeemed, valuable Christians, and still face mental health issues. Especially for our children, it’s important that we talk about these issues honestly. They are real. And they are something you can live a full, healthy life with. Listen as Terese talks to Jean Holthaus, a Christian counselor and social worker with more than 20-years of experience working with families and children. She has spent years exploring how anxiety affects kids’ minds, thoughts, behaviors and feelings and has great advice for identifying and treating anxiety. Connect to her ministry here.

071 Terese Talk: Stand Up, Stand Strong



Cultural relevance has become a challenge for Christianity. So much in our world is moving and changing like we never imagined. In a world that keeps changing truth, how can we help our teens to focus on the truth of God? Sara Barratt is the author of “Stand Up, Stand Strong” and has advice for parents on how to help our teens ground themselves in a landscape of shifting sand.

069 Terese Talk: Women of Easter



As we look at Easter, it’s easy to miss them. They weren’t the ones who nailed Jesus to the cross. They didn’t beat or mock Him. They didn’t run and hide like many of his followers. They quietly watched. And that’s what makes their role so significant. In this episode, we’re looking at the women of the Easter.

068 Terese Talk: More Than Scars



One day can change everything. No one knows that better than Kechi Okwuchi. She was just a teenager when a day of travel changed everything. Ultimately, her journey brought her closer to God.

066 Terese Talk: Friendship



 

Now that we’ve started gathering together again, you might be thinking more about friends. Over the past couple years, you probably have lost some relationships. And that’s ok. Sometimes friendships are for a season—and then we move on. You may have reevaluated other friendships. Maybe you found out people you were close to don’t think the same way you do. And maybe you’re ready for some new friendships. That’s fine too. Spring is a great time for all things new. What does the Bible say about friendships?

065 Terese Talk: Iron Sharpens Iron



Proverbs 27:17 says: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”. The idea is that in order to make yourself better, we need to help the people around us. This weekend, there’s a men’s conference in Buffalo, NY that keeps that scripture at its core. Pastor Kevin Maloney is one of the keynote speakers. He pastors Grace Road Church in Rochester, NY.

064 Terese Talk: Out of the Dark



It’s in the hardest times of life that we learn so much about God. It’s not easy. But it’s always fruitful. Grammy-winner Mandisa has been open about sharing her battle with the darkness. As she was grieving the death of a friend, she found herself in a fierce battle with depression. In her new book, Out of the Dark, she shows that our choice to trust God can not only overcome our need to understand why bad things happen, but can help us to embrace a life of joy and freedom.

063 Terese Talk: I Surrender All (Sort Of)



Why is surrender so hard? Many of us were forced in surrender over the past two years. There wasn’t much we could control. So, we laid it down. And picked it up again. Over and over. It’s a common problem in the church. A problem Michelle Lazurek was called to explore. Her new book is called “I Surrender All (Sort Of): Laying Down Your Plans So God can Do the Impossible.” She’s a Pennsylvania-based author and teacher—and also a pastor’s wife. Hear how her journey through anxiety has taught her that when we have nothing left, that’s when God does mighty work. Find out more about her ministry here.
