What would you do if you were suddenly facing a tsunami hurling towards you? Where would you go? Where would you hide? This was the terrifying situation Riley Kehoe and her family found themselves in while vacationing in Thailand in 2004, when a massive tsunami struck the coastline a day after Christmas. Riley was only 10 years old, and the miraculous events that God set into motion that day saved her entire extended family. Despite the trauma of the event, Riley today is an author, speaker, and influencer who challenges people to face the tsunamis of life with courage and fortitude. How will we respond to those terrifying and challenging moments of life? “All we need is a little more courage,” Riley says. Her life is a testament to the saving grace of God and the strength we can find when we embrace the courage He has given us. TAKEAWAYS Joshua 1:9 reminds us to be courageous and strong no matter how difficult a situation we are facing The tsunami of 2004 in the Indian Ocean is one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded, with a death toll of nearly 230,000 Riley’s family was saved because of a series of “coincidences” that came from God Riley and her sisters completed beach lifeguard training to overcome their fear of the ocean following the tsunami 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Riley’s Story video: https://bit.ly/4jNA8o7 Three Seconds of Courage book: https://bit.ly/4aMF7Bm   🔗 CONNECT WITH RILEY KEHOE Website: https://www.rileywithcourage.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rileywithcourage/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rileywithcourage   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Restore Patch: https://bit.ly/CCMpatch TruPlay (get 30% off with code Tina30): https://truplay.games/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/

The emerging adult years are ones of exploration and change, and it’s a period that greatly differentiates from the culture many parents grew up in. Jim Burns is an accomplished author, podcaster, and founder of HomeWord. He’s an excellent authority on parenting and discipleship, and he has wonderful insight into how parents can keep in touch with their adult children while maintaining their biblical values, and still show godly love even when they disagree with their children on critical issues. This new generation, Jim explains, has certain distinctions, and one of them is that they view tolerance as a form of loving others. “We have to learn to be students of their culture without agreeing with them,” he shares. He talks about the “messy middle” where we can still lead with love without affirming sin. TAKEAWAYS It’s okay to share your own life experiences with your kids to help prepare them for the consequences of bad life choices Kids want to see authenticity from their parents We can guide our children to choose the master designer of our sexuality instead of what the culture promotes If we live with integrity, our kids will see that modeled and learn from it 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Parenting Adult Children video: https://bit.ly/41e22lQ A Student’s Guide to Sexual Integrity book: https://amzn.to/4iiPpMc Doing Life With Your Adult Children book: https://amzn.to/4kjgXCV   🔗 CONNECT WITH JIM BURNS Website: https://homeword.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Homeword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjimburns/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@homeword Podcast: https://homeword.com/jim-burns-podcast/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Rescue 1 Global: https://rescue1global.org/counter-culture-mom-show/   🔗 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/

Eun Strawser, the co-vocational lead pastor of Ma Ke Alo o in Hawaii, says discipleship that is not centered and strong in the church is ultimately a worship problem. Eun says Christians who meditate regularly on the Word of God should know what good discipleship looks like, but many Christians simply don’t disciple others very often. What is discipleship? It’s a form of imitating Jesus Himself and striving to be more like Him in every way. A Christian leader’s primary role should be as an imitator of Christ, and they should be setting that example for their flock. Eun also discusses four “key buckets” you should see Christlike maturity in a true believer: character, theology, wisdom, and missional living. These are all areas that need good discipleship and wisdom. TAKEAWAYS Our character should grow to be more Christlike over time as believers As believers are discipled in Jesus, they should also embrace teachings that mirror His word rather than contradict it Our self-centered society tends to think about receiving first and giving second and shifted as a culture from community living to individualism The first part of discipleship is very clearly about imitating Christ 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2X Centering Discipleship book: https://amzn.to/3Df1pzy   🔗 CONNECT WITH MA KE ALO o Website: https://mkao.community/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tina 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/

What does real-life discipleship look like? Terrie Hellard-Brown has the answer. After raising her young children on the mission field as a missionary pastor’s wife, she has had the opportunity to do life alongside people yearning to dig deep into the Word of God and grow their spiritual understanding. She says it’s never too late to disciple your children. She also discusses the biblical model of discipleship, which is so much more involved than just meeting once a week for a bible study. “We have made it into something that it was never intended to be,” she explains. She challenges people to live life together and ask authentic, real questions about their struggles and obstacles. Christians need to pray for each other and be authentic with each other and remember that first century discipleship is the antidote to failing 21st-century discipleship problems. TAKEAWAYS If you want to teach your children, you’ve got to stop and engage with them in teachable moments We can’t correct each other if we’re not being honest with each other No real Christians have ever lived a life devoid of suffering Don’t create a fake reality - talk about the realities and struggles in life  and pray for each other for God to give you peace and direction 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tuttle Twins (get 40% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/TUTTLETWINSCCM Up, Down, and All Around book: https://amzn.to/43ic4E5   🔗 CONNECT WITH TERRIE HELLARD-BROWN Website: https://terriehellardbrown.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/terriehellardbrown Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ter_h_brown/ X: https://x.com/HellardBrown LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrie-hellard-brown-36218598/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TerrieHellardBrown Podcast: https://booksthatspark.libsyn.com/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin 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/

Truth is not always comforting for someone to hear - but that doesn’t mean it’s not important to share it! Rick Thomas founded Life Over Coffee, a ministry dedicated to providing real encouragement that follows Jesus’s model of calling people to repentance without affirming their sins. As a speaker, writer, and podcaster, Rick’s passion for helping others was born after a lifetime of challenges and obstacles, including an abusive alcoholic father and death of two brothers, drove him to the foot of the cross. He has since dedicated his life to helping people overcome challenges with biblical encouragement and wisdom. His ministry provides content like discussion forums, curriculum, and free books. Rick brings encouragement by urging Christians to do life together and build each other up. TAKEAWAYS Biblical counseling is a subset of discipleship The words “stir up” literally mean to “irritate” God is a biblical and holy “irritant” who forces you to examine your own heart and soul When your heart and God’s Word are on the same page, that’s a biblical sweet spot 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Courage video: https://bit.ly/4jSvfdu Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4jt6CUs Rick’s books: https://lifeovercoffee.com/store/ Mastermind Program: https://bit.ly/439fWaD   🔗 CONNECT WITH LIFE OVER COFFEE Website: https://lifeovercoffee.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officiallifeovercoffee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officiallifeovercoffee/ X: https://x.com/lifeovercoffee1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CounselingSolutions Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/life-over-coffee   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin 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   🔗 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 a teenager can be overwhelming, but for Ashley Taylor, it was the beginning of a deep and confusing pain that she didn’t understand. When Ashley was younger, she engaged in self-harming practices that some may have trouble understanding. She explains that self-harm is an indication of pain in the heart and soul, and as a method kids use to try and escape their suffering. Parents should address it immediately without condemnation and take practical steps to protect their child and create an environment that cultivates healing. Ashley discusses the impact harmful media, particularly secular music, can have on a teenager’s psyche, and how self-harming has the same effect as a drug: teens will always chase the same high they got the first time they experienced it. Thankfully, Ashley heard about salvation through faith via Christian music. TAKEAWAYS Parents should be alert for signs of self-harm in their teens and maintain healthy communication with your kids at all times Some signs include: wearing long sleeves in hot weather, being secretive, dressing differently, and finding sharp objects in their rooms Lots of modern, secular music can trigger dark and depressing feelings Most self-harmers will try to hide what they’re doing but simultaneously hope that someone will also find out and help them 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Book Tina to speak: https://bit.ly/48RJklD Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call, Text or Chat: 988   🔗 CONNECT WITH ASHLEY TAYLOR Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/asmithtaylor   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Rescue 1 Global: https://rescue1global.org/counter-culture-mom-show/   🔗 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 the most helpless feeling in the world is watching someone you love suffer, but thankfully, there are many ways we can minister to them in times of need and show the love of Christ. Christine Chappell has a lot of experience in this area. As a survivor of self-harm and other severe emotionally painful issues, she is now a Biblical counselor who encourages those who are suffering to engage with God amid emotional pain. Christine's struggles began during her senior year of high school when she was in a major car accident and her world turned upside down. She talks about the intrinsic importance of having friends and family who are there and sympathize rather than condemn or distance. Just addressing self-harm is not enough - parents must engage their children in loving conversation and create open lines of communication. TAKEAWAYS Cry out to the Lord in your distress and He will be faithful to you Self-harm shouldn’t be a silent struggle Self-harm is not merely an external problem, it is indicative of a deeper problem Self-harm may be defined as a sort of unhealthy “self-soothing” behavior 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://counterculturemom.com/store/ My Teen is Depressed book: https://amzn.to/4gPzGmP   🔗 CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE CHAPPELL Website: https://christinemchappell.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinemchappell/ X: https://x.com/chappellwrites YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@christinemchappell Podcast: https://christinemchappell.com/podcast/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tina 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/

More young people are harming themselves than ever before, and there has been a tragic increase on that front particularly among young females since 2009. It is this terrible problem that Shannon Perry is confronting head-on as a certified parenting instructor, counselor, speaker, and the founder of an incredible mother-daughter event, In Her Shoes. Shannon discusses the drivers behind self-harm, and how parents can be on the lookout for signs of self-harming behavior in their children. Most kids are just trying to feel something beyond the numbness of their emotional pain. She also talks about tactics teens may use to hide their self-harming techniques and what red flags parents can watch for to identify these issues. In addition, Shannon shares how we can lovingly but firmly provide a safe space and a healing environment for hurting kids. TAKEAWAYS Kids who suddenly begin self-isolating could be at risk for self-harm There are many kinds of self-sabotaging behavior, and cutting is just one of them Kids can’t relate to you until they know you’ve walked through similar struggles and you’re approachable Self-harm is not about getting attention - it’s a cry for help that can easily lead to suicide 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE BARK Phone: https://bit.ly/TINAPHONE BARK App (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/BARKCCM   🔗 CONNECT WITH SHANNON PERRY Website: https://www.shannonperry.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannonperryministries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannon_perry_ministries YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShannonPerry Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vjrMhLpSRHWofaA2kTMqG   🔗 CONNECT WITH IN HER SHOES Website: https://www.inhershoestour.com/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ 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/

There’s an epidemic of self-loathing in society today when it comes to young people, and it manifests in terrible ways. So many kids misunderstand their identities and suffer from an extreme lack of self-worth, which results in bad habits like self-harm. Dave Glander is a former atheist who now proudly follows Christ, and he is an apologist with Reasons for Hope. He frequently teaches and preaches to youth and spearheads the life-changing Equip Retreat camp for kids, which helps young people learn how to live out their faith in Christ. Dave discusses the root core of the self harm epidemic stemming from a lack of understanding of their identities in Jesus Christ. Why do kids hurt themselves? Because they don’t see themselves as valued and loved as God does. TAKEAWAYS Self-harm comes out of a lack of understanding of who you are in Christ Parents play a vital role in building their children’s self-esteem and sense of identity Make time to be with your children, even if that means going without glamorous things which will free up the longer work week Never underestimate the power of a loving, faith-based parental figure 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2X EQUIP Retreat: https://www.rforh.com/equip-retreat Reasons for Hope books: https://store.rforh.com/collections/books    🔗 CONNECT WITH REASONS FOR HOPE Website: https://www.rforh.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rforh/ X: https://twitter.com/rforh Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/reasonsforhope   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina 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   🔗 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/

How effective is a prayer? How can a prayer change and shape the lives of our children? Jodie Berndt is the proud mother of four, and after 40 years of marriage and the blessing of many grandchildren, she knows first-hand the importance of praying for her kids and waiting patiently in the moments between. As an author and Bible teacher, Jodie shares well-earned wisdom about praying daily for our children at every stage of life, whether they are toddlers, teens, or adults with families of their own. Praying is a form of acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers, she says. Prayer doesn’t have to be mysterious or inaccessible. Prayer is about having a relationship with the God of the universe and bringing our everyday life challenges and joys to Him. Let’s model this wonderful practice for our children! TAKEAWAYS It’s good for our kids to see us mess up and go to God to ask for forgiveness and guidance God cares about everything in our lives, both the big and small details Our children are never out of God’s sight or away from His protection Check out Jodie’s book, Praying the Scriptures for Your Children: Discover How to Pray God’s Purpose for Their Lives 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Prayer video: https://bit.ly/4hh5xh3 Answers in Genesis (get 10% off with code AIGCCM10): https://bit.ly/AIGCCM Praying the Scriptures for Your Children book: https://amzn.to/41b6gLb Praying the Scriptures for Your Adult Children book: https://amzn.to/3EC9vlY   🔗 CONNECT WITH JODIE BERNDT Website: https://jodieberndt.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JodieBerndtWrites Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jodie_berndt/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM 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/
