Today, Jim welcomes Cindi J. Martin, a licensed psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience in counseling and ministry. As Founder and Director of Wellspring Counseling Ministries, Cindi integrates biblical faith with mental health support to help individuals and couples heal from trauma, addiction, and relational challenges. Cindi recently released a truly excellent book called Choosing Intimacy: Exploring Christ’s Model for Mutuality and Deeply Connected Relationships, the subject of today’s episode. Contrary to what you might think about the term “intimacy”, it is a complex and layered action (yes, action) - and, like all actions, requires a choice. This is a fascinating discussion full of revelation and encouragement for any listener.

*Trigger Warning* This episode contains adult themes around pornography and marital betrayal.

For the wife whose husband was unfaithful or discovered to have a sexual addiction, you know the pain, anger, and sense of betrayal that overtakes you. Today’s guest, Dr. Sheri Denham Keffer, knows this agony all too well - and her journey through it is what led her to help women in a similar situation today. Dr. Sheri Denham Keffer received her PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy and her Master of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. Dr. Sheri’s also a regular co-host of the nationally syndicated talk show New Life Live, which is heard by 2 million listeners. With candor and compassion, Dr. Sheri shares with Jim her story of marital deception and betrayal and how God, in His goodness, walked with her and ushered her through to hope and joy on the other side. Whether you have a similar story or know someone who does, this is a powerhouse episode you don’t want to miss.

Do you consider yourself a go-with-the-flow parent? Or are you a little more rigid? When it comes to raising our kids, it turns out that flexibility and adaptability are vital to effective parenting - but that doesn’t mean boundaries and authority don’t have their place. Today, Jim welcomes Dr. Danny Huerta. Dr. Huerta is a bilingual psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, author of 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, and the Vice President of Parenting & Youth for Focus on the Family. Together, Jim and Dr. Huerta dive into the 7 Traits of Effective Parenting and how being fully present, showing respect, and modeling biblical self-worth behavior can lead to great relationships with your kids and a firm foundation as they grow.
