My Radical Transformation From Darkness with Cristina Baker
Trigger warning: This podcast discusses themes of abuse and suicidal ideation. Please use caution in considering those listening around you, as well as your own personal triggers.
Cristina Baker joins me on the podcast today to share about her radical transformation from living in a world of pleasure and pain and darkness, to radically meeting Jesus. From abuse, to neglect, to living in chaos — her life was filled with significant and serious pain and suffering even from a young age. She talked about being “pulled toward the darkness” to deal with her pain, and how that darkness literally almost took her life. She was drawn to a dark lifestyle, and was headed down a path of destruction — until Jesus stepped in the most radical way. Her story will inspire and encourage you to keep praying for anyone in your life who is living in darkness. If God can do it in her life, He can do it for theirs.

Healing from Abuse with Anne Beiler (Auntie Anne)
Trigger warning: This podcast discusses themes of abuse and suicidal ideation. Please use caution in considering those listening around you, as well as your own personal triggers.
Today on the podcast, I have a powerful conversation with Anne Beiler, who spent years of her life keeping secrets that were never meant to be kept. You may recognize her name from the famous Auntie Anne’s pretzels (the best pretzels on earth, by the way!).
We spent time unpacking her dark history of abuse, her struggle with secrecy, and the 7 years of struggling with a secret that she was too afraid to share. Even when she felt like she was at her lowest point, and contemplated taking her life, she got the strength to take the first steps toward healing, by using her voice to speak the truth — to shine a light on the darkness, and invite God into the broken places in her life.
May God help us to continue shining truth in the darkest places in our lives, and allow His healing work to begin. Tune in to this important episode.

How To Parent A Perfectionist Child
Today I’m joined by Lindsey, a caller who is wondering how to manage her oldest daughter, who seems to be a perfectionist. Lindsey says she’s not unfamiliar with this dynamic, as she used to be a perfectionist herself, and parented that way for many, many years. She’s feeling guilt that she’s passed that down to her daughter, and wondering how to get her out of the exhausting cycle of perfectionism. Join us for this conversation as we wrap up our Family and Parenting series!
