The Counter Culture Mom Show

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/

What’s the difference between assisting and enabling an adult child? Jill Savage has the answer! Jill is an author and marriage coach who discusses the encore season of parenthood: empty nesting! She describes the difference between the years of day-to-day child rearing and the season of life where children are grown and need to make their own decisions. Learn to lovingly and appropriately detach from the details and let your kids spread their wings! Empathize and validate their concerns, and share wisdom if they ask for it. Jill also talks about how important it is to base your self-worth and identity in Christ - not on how well your children are doing in their adult lives. Good communication is key to maintaining a solid relationship with your adult children. TAKEAWAYS As our children grow, we should solve their problems less and less as they become more independent If you continue to solve problems for your child when they are adults, you’re enabling them Don’t hesitate to help your adult kids during times of great need, but avoid controlling the situation Make sure you are empathizing with your children before you comment on their situation 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/3VC4D2X Empty Nest Full Life book: https://amzn.to/3Qccbtc   🔗 CONNECT WITH JAM SAVAGE MINISTRIES Website: https://jillsavage.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillsavage.author LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillsavageauthor/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillsavage.author/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jillsavageauthor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jillannsavage/videos Podcast: https://jillsavage.org/podcast/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY ARTZA (get 20% off with code TINA): https://www.artzabox.com/#rfsn=TINA VidAngel (get first month for $1 with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4dpg2vT TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina 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/

When a lifetime of raising children ends and the season of empty nesting begins, there are things to hold onto and things to let go of. Jill Savage is a prolific author and marriage coach, and she encourages parents to let go of three major things when their kids leave the home: expectations, traditions, and opinions. She explains in detail why each of these elements needs to be surrendered to the Lord, and how parents can navigate the drastic changes in life as their children begin to find their independence and start their own families. We will all have regrets as parents, but don’t let that deter you from building a flourishing life as you learn to build a different type of relationship with your new adult children! TAKEAWAYS We all struggle with guilt, but God can redeem the broken pieces Regret means you can see something you didn’t see before Allow your adult children the freedom and space to make decisions in their own lives and offer support if they ask for it The Bible says that for everything there is a season: a time to let go, and a time to hold on 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tuttle Twins (get 40% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/TUTTLETWINSCCM Empty Nest Full Life Retreat video: https://bit.ly/4hlbKZx Empty Nest Full Life Retreat: https://bit.ly/4hE0184 Empty Nest Full Life book: https://amzn.to/3Qccbtc   🔗 CONNECT WITH JAM SAVAGE MINISTRIES Website: https://jillsavage.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jillsavage.author LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillsavageauthor/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillsavage.author/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jillsavageauthor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/jillannsavage/videos Podcast: https://jillsavage.org/podcast/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY My Father’s World: mfwbooks.com/4tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TruPlay (get 30% off with code Tina30): https://truplay.games/CounterCultureMom Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-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/

When our children are all grown up and living on their own, how do we deal with the challenges and changes of an empty nest? This is the burning question Charlotte Guest set out to answer as an empty nester herself, and it spurred the creation of her popular podcast, Empty Nest Guests. On her show, she invites guests aboard to discuss the trials of empty nest life, including marriage, travel, and even caring for elderly and aging parents. Charlotte encourages empty nesters to ask themselves every day what Jesus would do, and to be filled with His love daily. She also discusses the importance of serving others, whether it’s an aging member of the church or an overwhelmed young mother. Above all, keep Christ at the center of your home and the center of your marriage. TAKEAWAYS If you have an empty nest, plan date nights with your spouse regularly Date your mate, pray together, and encourage your spouse daily Don’t condemn your children - have conversations with them and lift them up Sometimes it takes the help of a professional counselor to sift through empty nest challenges 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Charlotte’s Bible Plans: https://bit.ly/3CuDlIo 🔗 CONNECT WITH CHARLOTTE GUEST Website: https://www.charlotteguest.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EmptyNestGuestPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empty_nest_guests/ Podcast: https://bit.ly/40ROJY5 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina Rescue 1 Global: https://rescue1global.org/counter-culture-mom-show/ 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/

When the busyness of life takes hold, it can be hard to find time to spend with other Christians. For men, this can be particularly difficult amid the dog days of career building and overloaded work schedules. Thankfully, the Christian Business Men’s Connection (CBMC) is there to stand in the gap and provide a space for men to come together in the marketplace who share Christian values and goals. Brent Vawter is the Senior Director for the Oklahoma chapter of CBMC - the same organization that gave him guidance 25 years ago. Today, Brent is delivering the same inspiration and open space for other Christian men. CBMC is present in hundreds of cities across the country and the meetings focus on building godly relationships, cultivating Biblical principles of leadership, and inspiring and engaging men to interact with each other in ways that truly matter. TAKEAWAYS Having a Christian worldview should change the way you approach work and life Knowing your identity in Christ and having the courage to stand up for what’s right is a positive masculine trait Stop trying to figure out what others want and focus on what God is calling you to do You are loved, intentionally designed, and God has given you all the tools you need to succeed in life 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Christian Business Men’s Connection (CBMC) video: https://bit.ly/3WEqU3M Stand Up Now Apparel (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4fGfWCJ   🔗 CONNECT WITH CHRISTIAN BUSINESS MEN’S CONNECTION Website: https://www.cbmc.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/4hC5bBG X: https://x.com/CBMCUSA YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CBMCUSA   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY RogersHood Apothecary (get 10% off with code TINA):  https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina Cortez Wealth Management: https://americafirstretirementplan.com/ Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ 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/

Modern society is rapidly changing the definition of what it means to be a man or a woman, but one thing is certain: the Word of God does not change. Scripture is very clear about what the definition of a Christ-follower is. Nate Pyle thrives on discussions dealing with discipleship. He is a pastor and coach who preaches, teaches, and helps others embrace authentic vulnerability as taught in scripture. What does the world say about manhood? It’s a lot different than what the Bible says! “If we define masculinity by what we do, it can be hard,” Nate reminds us. Rather, he encourages people to look to the bible for a definition on what manhood should look like - a life of virtue, integrity, obedience, leadership, and the fruits of the spirit. TAKEAWAYS Help your son identify his emotions and channel them into proactive and responsible ways Emotions are God-given - it’s okay to acknowledge that, especially as a man Fathers need to spend a quantity of time with their sons as well as quality of time Our identity is not dependent on what we do but rather our identity is in Christ alone 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tune in to the Program: https://counterculturemom.com/ Man Enough book: https://amzn.to/3EsljHx 🔗 CONNECT WITH NATE PYLE Website: https://www.natepyle.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NatePyleWriter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natepyle79/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.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/

Why are boys in modern culture struggling to live confident and meaningful lives? It might have something to do with the avalanche of negative messages society is bombarding them with. Jeff Schadt, the president and CEO of Revive Family, frequently gives seminars addressing the most prominent issues facing today’s youth. One of the worst problems is culture’s attack on healthy masculinity. “All these messages [are] telling us that we’re the problem,” he says. Boys lose their confidence, and they become men who are afraid to embrace their God-given, healthy masculinity. How can we address this issue? As parents, we can start by tackling this issue head-on in the home and providing a safe and nurturing environment for our sons. “We can punish them right into the world or we can love them right into our influence,” exclaims Jeff. TAKEAWAYS Love your kids unconditionally, and they will be far more likely to come to you first when they’re having a problem Sometimes kids will continue to misbehave because they believe they’ll never live up to their parents’ expectations Give your child a safe space to discuss their feelings and disappointments Remember, the Bible says nobody is perfect, so let’s not expect perfection from our children 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ One Rule Home video: https://bit.ly/4gfkhvE Kids Bad Behavior book: https://amzn.to/3WIUTr1 FREE What’s Really Causing My Kid’s Bad Behavior: https://onerulehome.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH REVIVE FAMILY Website: https://www.revivefamily.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH ONE RULE HOME Website: https://onerulehome.com/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA ARTZA (get 20% off with code TINA): https://www.artzabox.com/#rfsn=TINA Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ 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/

Is it the midnight hour in America? Phil Hotsenpiller believes it certainly may be! Phil is the senior pastor of Influence Church in Anaheim Hills, California, and he is the author of It’s Midnight in America, a book that examines the Biblical rumblings of End Times prophecy. How close are we to the rapture of the church, a one world government, and the Second Coming of Christ? Why are so many Americans woefully underprepared to face persecution? Since when did modern Christians stop expecting God to work wonders and answer prayers? Phil discusses these critical questions, the tangled web of global networks that may usher in the last days, and delves into the very real threat of transhumanism and the role it may play in the future. It’s time to wake up because Christ is close at hand. TAKEAWAYS It’s an oxymoron to say that you are a Christian and say you have fears When we see perversity and sexual sin elevated throughout the land, we can be assured we are living in the last days There are only three city-states in the world: London, the Vatican, and Washington, D.C., and all three have Egyptian obelisks No one knows the day or hour of Christ’s return, but we can see that we are in the season 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ It’s Midnight in America video: https://bit.ly/3Xj9Pgd It’s Midnight in America book: https://amzn.to/4jEZkxa   🔗 CONNECT WITH AMERICAN FAITH Website: https://americanfaith.com/ Instagram: https://bit.ly/4jBa53s X: https://bit.ly/4aHfhi9   🔗 CONNECT WITH  PHIL HOTSENPILLER Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhotsenpiller/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/JaseCCM Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.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/
