The Counter Culture Mom Show

Kids are being exposed to sexual material at younger and younger ages, but there is no benefit to normalizing sexual behavior for children, despite what secular sex-ed advocates may claim. Adrianne Simeone is a child sexual abuse survivor and the founder and director of The Mama Bear Effect. She is passionate about equipping parents to educate their children about the importance of advocating for their privacy and bodily autonomy. Parental education on this issue is essential for preventing child sex abuse, and it’s important to remember that sex abuse is often perpetrated by someone the child knows and trusts. Parents are the primary protectors of their kids, so stay vigilant and know that abuse is real, it’s common, and it’s up to you to draw safe boundaries for your children. TAKEAWAYS Children who are abused are almost always abused by someone at home or in the home of someone they trust People who engage in sexual abuse often compartmentalize their own behavior and split their personalities between two sides of their life Cultivating a strong parent-child relationship is key in helping kids avoid sex abuse You must speak up about abuse when you see it so that you can save future potential victims from suffering 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: Text TOUR to 55444 Adrianne video: https://bit.ly/3F0m2zM My Body is Special and Private book: https://amzn.to/41Azwdn Let’s Talk About Secrets book: https://amzn.to/4kBfGY7   🔗 CONNECT WITH ADRIANNE SIMEONE Website: https://www.themamabeareffect.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mamabeareffect/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mamabeareffect/ X: https://x.com/MamaBearEffect YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themamabeareffect   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ MasterPeace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Sometimes, abuse can take on the most deceptive forms - even love. This is a difficult reality Michelle Denault had to deal with after realizing that a years-long relationship she’d had with a teacher who was 25 years older than her, was not love but grooming and abuse. She didn’t realize it was abuse until two decades after she left him at the age of 24, because she wanted to have a family. Today she dedicates her life to ensuring students are educated about the dangers and red flags of potential grooming and abuse from those in positions of authority through her ministry Voices Carry. She is also a speaker for Safe and Sound Schools, and her “Grooming 101” program has been instituted in over 100 schools nationwide. She’s currently suing the school which was fully aware a male teacher was grooming and abusing female students and even gave him a pension. TAKEAWAYS Typical grooming models center on fear, but sometimes they are disguised as very loving relationships When predators move from school to school, Michelle refers to it as “passing the trash” Kids have a normal desire for love and a natural curiosity that can be exploited by predators Abuse can happen to anyone, so stay vigilant and remain connected with your kids and teach them to protect their body boundaries 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ   🔗 CONNECT WITH MICHELLE DENAULT Website: https://michelledenault.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michelle.stolleisdenault Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellestolleisdenault/ X: https://x.com/MLDenault1228 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mldenault/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH SAFE AND SOUND SCHOOLS Website: https://safeandsoundschools.org/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY My Father’s World: mfwbooks.com/4tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ MasterPeace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Satan has disguised himself as an angel of light, so it makes sense that the deception he wages against humankind appears plausible and even attractive. Julius Agbor is an author, professor, economist, and pastor who offers outstanding insight into the nature of Satan’s most enticing deceptions. He is the author of Before the Rapture: The 7 Forms of Deception Each Christian Must Overcome. He says Jesus is coming back soon, and it will be sudden, dramatic, and unannounced. He discusses the seven deceptions Christians will encounter when it comes to discussions surrounding the impending rapture before Christ’s Second Coming. He also explains the difference between the Gospel of Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom from scripture. TAKEAWAYS Some red flags associated with false teaching include a promotion of immorality and heretical doctrine Deception has to be very close to the source for it be believable, so it can be hard to decipher Idolatry, overconfidence, disloyalty, and pride are four of the seven deceptions Julius discusses in his book One out of every eight New Testament Scriptures refers to the Second Coming of Christ 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/ Before the Rapture book: https://amzn.to/41xs2aT   🔗 CONNECT WITH JULIUS AGBOR Website: https://worldmissionscc.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rev.JuliusAgborPhD/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@juliusagbor9730   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina Master Peace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Would you give up everything you have in pursuit of a lie disguised as a truth? This question may seem simple, but masterful manipulation and deception can fool anybody. This is a harsh lesson Athena Dean Holtz learned after being deceived for 13 years by a false teacher who convinced her to leave her husband, her children, and even her thriving publishing business under the guise of biblical teaching. She was exposed to extreme spiritual abuse due to unprocessed trauma in her life, but when she broke free, she founded Redemption Press, where she now helps other women tell their redemption stories by providing teaching, coaching, publishing services, and more. Athena discusses how she was deceived, how she escaped such deception, and what red flags alerted her to the awful truth about what was really happening. TAKEAWAYS Athena knows what it’s like to feel like Job and literally lose everything She believed she was following God’s will when she left her husband and children, but she was being deceived by false teaching Athena identified Timothy Williams as the false teacher who massively destroyed her life and his church was ironically called ‘Sound Doctrine’ Sometimes, unprocessed trauma can make you vulnerable to being deceived 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2X Unhealed Wounds video: https://bit.ly/4htctbd Full Circle book: https://amzn.to/4hfIkej Realities in Publishing series: https://realitiesinpublishing.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH ATHENA DEAN HOLTZ Website: https://redemption-press.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/athena.dean1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athena_dean_holtz YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Redemption-press LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/athenadeanholtz/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Master Peace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Put down the mirror of self-esteem and embrace a healthy dose of self-respect, says Jill Garner, founder of Manners of the Heart. Jill was trained to be an interior designer, but God had other plans. A volunteer project designed to help children learn manners, self-respect, and civility became - her lifelong ministry and labor of love - to educate the hearts of children. Jill discusses the difference between humanistic self-esteem and godly self-respect. How can we teach our children to serve others rather than constantly looking to love themselves or worship their own emotional desires? The sin of pride is very dangerous, and Satan has found a way to reframe it in our society to make it look “pretty”, but it is damaging nonetheless, and its self-serving doctrine infects many modern teachings of Christianity. TAKEAWAYS Humanism is completely counter to Christianity, and yet it’s been grafted into many modern Christian teachings Our education system is filled with humanism Christian life is about serving others Fill your kids’ hearts with truth so that their minds open to see the world through a Biblical lens as Christ intended 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE BARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONE BARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCM StrongHeart book: https://amzn.to/3Dqogbh   🔗 CONNECT WITH JILL GARNER Website: https://jillgarnercontent.org/   🔗 CONNECT WITH MANNERS OF THE HEART Website: https://mannersoftheheart.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mannersoftheheart/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mannersoftheheart/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/ Master Peace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/CCMpatch   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

If we want to defeat our enemy, we need to know our enemy’s moves, says Phil Hopper, a former SWAT cop now serving as the pastor of Abundant Life Church. Phil is also the author of Defeating the Enemy: Exposing and Overcoming the Strategies of Satan. With a background in law enforcement and street-smart survival tactics, Phil is well-equipped to take the spiritual battle against Satan head-on. He thrives on discussing the spiritual “bullets” Christians should be prepared to face in life. Why are so many believers living in mediocrity and depression? They are believing Satan’s lies. Why do they believe these lies? Chiefly because of biblical illiteracy, says Phil. Do not be ignorant of your adversary. Educate yourself by reading the Bible and understanding how the enemy works and learn how to protect yourself against the schemes of the Devil. TAKEAWAYS Humans are the only creatures created by God in His image and likeness Satan was not created in the image of God, nor is he Jesus’s “spirit brother,” as the Mormons teach Satan understood that to seal man’s spiritual fate, he needed to get them to sin Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross redeems man from sin and brings him back into a relationship with God, thwarting Satan’s plans 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Defeating the Enemy book: https://amzn.to/4kA1Gh6 Defeating the Enemy video: https://bit.ly/3DrVgQy Defeating the Enemy series: https://bit.ly/43tam2I Living Your Love Story book: https://amzn.to/3XzRZVY   🔗 CONNECT WITH LIVING PROOF Website: https://livingproof.co/ Podcast: https://livingproof.co/resources/podcast/   🔗 CONNECT WITH PHIL HOPPER Website: https://philhopper.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AbundantLifeLS   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Master Peace: https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMom RogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA):  https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Overcoming your deepest fears and achieving your goals doesn’t have to be scary. With God’s help, you can embrace the truth about yourself and take your challenges to Him! This is the wisdom Nicole Salmon brings to the topic of courage. As an author, speaker, and purpose alignment coach, she has journeyed from the struggles of single motherhood and faced her fears head-on with God’s help. Fear is slick, and it dresses itself up in many ways, she says. Sometimes, fear can even dress itself up to look like wisdom. Don’t be deceived. Fear is not from God! She advises Christians to be truthful with themselves and to take those concerns to the Lord. No matter what you face, there is a response you can offer to turn your fear into a win. TAKEAWAYS Create a Bible-anchored response to the fear narrative that replays in your head Have honest conversations with God and stop lying to yourself about what’s going on and embrace truth Take small, actionable steps toward your goals More time procrastinating doesn’t alleviate fear; it feeds it 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Fear video: https://bit.ly/4hLMH1C Covenant Eyes (get 30 days free with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3P60Omj Courage and Confidence book: https://amzn.to/4ixEyxX   🔗 CONNECT WITH NICOLE SALMON Website: https://www.nicoleosalmon.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicoleosalmon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleosalmon YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nicoleosalmon App: https://bit.ly/4hLVtfT   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY My Father’s World: mfwbooks.com/4tina Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/CCMpatch Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

The place between two stops on a journey is not limbo; it’s rest, says Dawn Mann Sanders, an author and the associate minister at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden. Dawn wrote When Your World Ends: God’s Creative Process For Rebuilding a Life. The book was inspired by the difficult challenges she has faced in life, from divorce to remarriage, miscarriages, and the sudden death of her beloved second husband. When life knocks you down, how will you respond? Anger, she explains, does not mean that you do not believe in God or that you don’t trust Him. It’s a natural emotion that comes in the wake of deep and tragic loss. After grappling with anger and feelings of betrayal, Dawn had to learn to forgive herself for holding a grudge against God, but she also had to learn how to move forward. TAKEAWAYS How do you start over from nothing? By rebuilding your relationship with God God will meet us wherever we are, even in the darkness God is hovering over us and will never abandon us, even if our emotions betray us Wait until God moves, then follow as closely as you can as you move forward 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 When Your World Ends book: https://amzn.to/43w20HE   🔗 CONNECT WITH DAWN MANN SANDERS Website: https://dawnmannsanders.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DawnMannSanders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawnmannsanders/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnmannsanders/ X: https://x.com/DawnMannSanders   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin ARTZA (get 20% off with code TINA): https://www.artzabox.com/#rfsn=TINA   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Being brave isn’t just about not quitting - it’s also about springing back up after you’ve fallen! These words of wisdom from Dawn Scott Damon - an author, speaker, and CEO of BraveHearted Woman - were hard-won. After facing a massive, real-life crisis that threatened to drown her in sorrow, Dawn chose to seize courage and rebuild her life despite massive disappointments and obstacles. Dawn discusses the importance of staying committed to living our best lives even when we don’t feel like it - especially when the midlife crisis hits hard. She also talks about five key “fortitudes” she encourages others to embrace, including vision, identity, and virtue. “It takes courage to stay the leading lady of your life,” she says. But we need to be brave, and a little courage goes a long way. TAKEAWAYS Resilience is choosing NOT to quit on yourself, your dreams, or your God-given purpose Bravery is choosing to rise from mediocrity and harness a courageous spirit even when you feel afraid Vision, courage, and dreams are possible at any stage of life Rejection and pain can hurt - but what are you going to do with that pain?
