Are you afraid to let go of your anxiety? Do you see your stress level as a driver of your everyday decisions and activities? If that sounds familiar, you will be able to relate to Alan Fadling, who is the president and founder of Unhurried Living. He shares how acutely he was clinging to his anxiety as an engine to complete every task at hand. “I was afraid if I didn’t have my anxiety, I wouldn’t get anything done,” he says. But anxiety, he explains, is an unsustainable energy force. We are much better off embracing the Prince of Peace - Jesus - in our moments of fear and stress than relying on our own anxious physical responses to move us forward. Don’t let anxiety become the god of your life. Trust Jesus and let Him reign peacefully over your heart instead. TAKEAWAYS Jesus does not have an anxious or a frantic voice, nor did He make rash frantic decisions Pray about the things that give you anxiety and ask God to give you clear direction In peace, you have access to your fully functioning brain rather than one that is addled with worry and over-stimulation Instead of living life constantly doing things to prove your identity, know your identity in Christ and express it freely with no pressure 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Book Tina to Speak: https://counterculturemom.com/inquiry-form/ A Non-Anxious Life book: https://bit.ly/4fJB5e4   🔗 CONNECT WITH ALAN FADLING Website: https://www.unhurriedliving.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unhurriedliving Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unhurriedliving X: https://x.com/unhurriedliving YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/unhurriedliving   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/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/

Why do we become so overloaded with stress? And even more importantly, how can we offload the pressure it puts on our minds and bodies? Eliza Huie is an author and biblical counselor who addresses healthy ways to deal with stress by understanding the autonomic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems. When our mental gas pedals get stuck on anxiety and stress, it’s hard to learn how to regulate our emotions which affect our physical health, but it can be done! Eliza offers advice on how to clear your mind, activate the healing parasympathetic nervous system, and reset your heart and soul when facing difficult times. TAKEAWAYS Be more mindful and pay more attention to what your body is telling you and act accordingly Reduce the amount of noise in your life - everything from sound to input overload, especially social media It’s critical to do a sensory reset often, which involves giving yourself time to be in complete silence and shut out constant overstimulation Get curious, know your limitations, and remind yourself that you have a God who is limitless 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Stand Up Now Apparel (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4fGfWCJ I’m Stressed book: https://bit.ly/4fJAI3a Sensory Reset Challenge: https://bit.ly/3BSRsXX   🔗 CONNECT WITH ELIZA HUIE Website: https://www.elizahuie.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizaJaneHuie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuie X: https://x.com/ElizaJaneHuie   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ My Father’s World: mfwbooks.com/4tina   🔗 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 you don’t make time for your rest, you will be forced to make time for your exhaustion,” says Eliza Huie. She is the author of multiple books and serves as a biblical counselor. Eliza tackles the hefty topic of stress and anxiety - and how those two things overlap and affect not only our spiritual and emotional well-being, but also our physical health. It’s very important to deal with our stress, Eliza advises, because it impacts every area of our life whether we recognize it or not. In order for us to care for others in a fruitful way, we need to take care of ourselves. Christians must embrace healthy prayer and common sense self-care practices to remain active, engaged, and at peace no matter the circumstances. TAKEAWAYS Pay attention to what your physical body is telling you Stress is contagious - it can rub off on you from other people and vice versa There are times when it is appropriate and wise to put boundaries within the context of relationships Stress tends to have a compounding effect over time and if not addressed, can lead to disease and possibly death 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo I’m Stressed book: https://bit.ly/4fJAI3a Opinion About Stress article: https://bit.ly/4fVODDl   🔗 CONNECT WITH ELIZA HUIE Website: https://www.elizahuie.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ElizaJaneHuie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuie X: https://x.com/ElizaJaneHuie   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Give A Derm (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4e7x5n6 Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/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/

What does it mean to persevere - what kind of strength does it take? Perseverance is something Donna Snow personally encountered and now lives to teach others how to master. After discovering her husband’s multiple affairs 15 years ago, she had to learn how to take one painful day at a time while on her journey of healing and forgiveness. Nothing should stop you from persevering no matter what happens to you or what you’ve done, she says. Donna suggests praying your way through the challenges of life, and discusses in detail the subject of forgiveness. Jesus died so that we can be free, and we are truly blessed to be able to forgive others as He forgave us - even when they do not deserve it. Forgiveness is a biblical command. TAKEAWAYS Perseverance means getting up every day and facing life’s challenges even when you don’t want to and being obedient to the Lord Someone who has been strengthened through the trials and fires of life is more relatable to others who are suffering similar challenges Forgiveness is God’s wonderful gift to us and one we should always give to others Marriage is not about two halves coming together - it’s about two whole, individual people putting Jesus first 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo Perseverance book: https://bit.ly/3BGIpZW Forgiveness book: https://bit.ly/3PccP9u   🔗 CONNECT WITH ARTESIAN MINISTRIES Website: https://www.artesianministries.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100056493557884 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donnasnowpyle/ X: https://x.com/RealDonnaSnow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@donnasnowpyle Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/DonnaSnowPyle/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3WzgEIQ    🔗 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/

Many people don’t realize how dangerous the world can be for those who are blind. Hero Kelvin Crosby suffers from both blindness and deafness and shares about his severe disadvantages, multiple suicide attempts, even his narrow escape from almost being killed crossing the street on three separate occasions. After he was struck by a taxi in New York City in sub-zero temperatures, he knew he had to do something to help other visually impaired people be able to cross the street safely. Shortly after, he ingeniously created the See Me Cane. He advocates for a type of “defensive walking,” which is helpful for blind people walking in specifically low-light situations. Defensive walking cultivates a cautionary environment that helps others react to what you are doing rather than the other way around, Kelvin explains. TAKEAWAYS You can donate to help Kelvin raise another $500,000, which will allow him to produce another 2,500 See Me Canes at SeeMeCane.com Perseverance is the perfect word to describe Kelvin’s attitude when facing many obstacles and difficulties in life Kelvin also suffers from Usher syndrome type 2, which causes hearing and vision loss God has been guiding Kelvin’s every step throughout his childhood years, multiple suicide attempts, and the creation of See Me Cane 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE See Me Cane video: https://bit.ly/3BXtAlH Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4077C94 See Me Cane Go Fund Me: https://bit.ly/3BVOi5o   🔗 CONNECT WITH KELVIN CROSBY Website: https://kelvincrosby.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH DEAF BLIND POTTER Website: https://www.deafblindpotter.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deafblindpotter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deafblindpotter/ X: https://x.com/DeafblindPotter YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZUkZbo TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deafblindpotter   🔗 CONNECT WITH SEE ME CANE Website: https://www.seemecane.com/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina  My Father’s World: mfwbooks.com/4tina PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina  Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/    🔗 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/

Angela Finley was heading to her cell in the county jail to serve time for drug trafficking when a small blue bible caught her eye, nestled amid a pile of reading material available to inmates. Between her cellmate reading scripture out loud and Angela diving into the word of God personally, this critical truth changed her life. It brought her into a relationship with Jesus Christ. When Angela was released from prison, she was inspired to advocate for change and empowerment for other former inmates reintegrating into society by founding her inspiring organization, No Handz Down. Today, she helps former inmates find housing, provides them with clothes, and assists them in creating a resume, all while helping them embrace their new identity in the Lord Jesus Christ. She also addresses the power of forgiveness and prayer. TAKEAWAYS Read Angela’s book, Divine Deliverance: How to Emerge from the Shadows (A Guide to Finding Faith and Freedom) Turn your perseverance into faith and unlock the power God has given you to overcome any obstacles The biggest issues facing those leaving the prison system is housing, finding a job, and reuniting with family members Angela’s ministry helps former prisoners get adjusted to living in normal society as quick and smooth as possible 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE BARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONE BARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCM Divine Deliverance book: https://amzn.to/40knqp9   🔗 CONNECT WITH ANGELA FINLEY Website: https://www.angelasharpfinley.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH NO HANDZ DOWN Website: https://www.nohandzdown.org/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3WzgEIQ Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/   🔗 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 be able to keep your family alive if there was a long-term sudden power outage and grocery store shelves were bare with no update on when the next food delivery would arrive? Do you have the skills it would take to survive? These are the key questions viewers will be asking themselves after watching Homestead, a new film and TV series written by Jason Ross. The movie centers on the aftermath of American society following the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, examining the dark side of human nature and the bloodshed it could cause in a survival scenario. Jason discusses the questions that inspired the show and how community-based homesteading today is not only better for Americans in preparation of a potential catastrophe, but the best way to raise your children. TAKEAWAYS The film and TV series in the Homestead world are an allegory for family living done more holistically The power grid in America is extremely vulnerable to attack and every citizen should be prepared for any potential disaster Community is the ultimate survival strategy, and Homestead demonstrates how people with different abilities can work together Encourage your neighbors to join forces and come up with a plan to live more independently and off the grid 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the App: https://bit.ly/3d2wSYy Homestead trailer: https://bit.ly/3DxYfGF Homestead - Family Survival: https://bit.ly/49YTXV5 Homestead in Theaters: https://bit.ly/40coVFL   🔗 CONNECT WITH HOMESTEAD Website: https://www.angel.com/movies/homestead Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HomesteadTVSeries YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AngelStudiosInc   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina 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/

It is often the gap periods of waiting in our lives that are the most difficult - anxiety and anger can set in, and we may find ourselves going down a negative and destructive path. This very issue is something that Mark Vroegop, the lead pastor of College Park Church, set out to tackle in his book, Waiting Isn’t a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life. Mark talks about waiting on God in those “gap moments,” and trusting His provision. Waiting is beautiful, promised, and a biblical command, he says. He also describes it as a “hopeful position that we can live in.” Waiting doesn’t have to be painful - it can be a major growing season for our faith in Jesus. TAKEAWAYS Every person has to discern about when it’s time to wait and when it’s time to move Waiting confronts our desire for control Waiting is part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ Gaps are meant to remind us that we are NOT God and that we CAN trust Him 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Waiting Isn’t a Waste book: https://amzn.to/3UcqTTg College Park Church: https://www.yourchurch.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH MARK VROEGOP Website: https://markvroegop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markdvroegop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vroegopmark/ X: https://x.com/MarkVroegop   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tina Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/  TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM   🔗 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/

We need to be able to control our fear - it doesn’t need to blind us or overwhelm us. This is the wisdom Michael Hingson shares as he discusses his narrow escape from the Twin Towers when they collapsed on September 11, 2001. Michael’s blindness only empowers him as a leader and educator, and he details the incredible lessons he has learned from his beloved guide dogs over the years, and why fear can be used as a valuable tool to survive and adapt. Michael is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling book, Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Mind, His Guide Dog, & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero. He talks about the wisdom we can glean from dogs, who don’t worry about the things they can’t control. Let’s not let fear blind us or overwhelm us - seize the day with confidence and joy! TAKEAWAYS Michael survived on 9/11 because he had practiced what he would do with his dog in an emergency situation Just because someone is different doesn’t mean they’re any less valuable Disability is NOT a lack of ability Michael says he doesn’t have different abilities but has the same abilities, with different techniques 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2X Michael’s Story video: https://bit.ly/3SYvs3c Live Like a Guide Dog book: https://bit.ly/4fSkw0G Refreshable Braille Display video: https://bit.ly/3B1k5Bi   🔗 CONNECT WITH MICHAEL HINGSON Website: https://michaelhingson.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3MI7pBO X: https://x.com/mhingson YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/mhingson   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina  Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3WzgEIQ  Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA  Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM   🔗 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/

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be abducted by aliens? Karin Wilkinson has a gripping story about her childhood, in which she claims that she was abducted hundreds of times since she was a toddler. In her terrifying book, Stolen Seed, Evil Harvest: A True Account of Lifelong Alien Abduction and the Evil Alien Agenda, Karin recounts her experiences with abduction, post-traumatic stress disorder, and her knowledge of how scripture may give hints about the great alien deception ramping up in the world today. Karin said she wrote her book to give readers a glimpse into the topic of alien abductions from a biblical perspective, given the “stigma” surrounding the phenomena. TAKEAWAYS Karin says her earliest memories are about being abducted from her bed Nephilim are offspring of fallen angels and human women There is a difference between being demon possessed and carrying out a demonic action The “giants” and “mighty men of old” are mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 6 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo  Stolen Seed, Evil Harvest book: https://bit.ly/3Jx6933 Walking Among Us: https://amzn.to/3Vx9V3j   🔗 CONNECT WITH KARIN WILKINSON Website: https://karinwilkinsonauthor.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/44jHwR2 Instagram: https://bit.ly/44iS2rJ   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/  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/
