Most traditional marriage counselors will tell you that marriage is a two-way street, but Dr. David Hawkins disagrees. He says that this is “woefully inadequate for most problems” and confirms that many men struggle with dominating, dismissing, and deflecting their wives in their relationships. Dr. Hawkins is the owner and clinical director of the Marriage Recovery Center and the Emotional Abuse Institute. He’s also a bestselling author and the host of the “Mad In Love” podcast. Dr. Hawkins discusses the “maze of confusion” that emotional abusers and narcissists can weave and how women are most often - although not always - victimized by it. Dr. Hawkins also explains what emotional abuse is, what it does to a victim, and the key factor to escaping the trauma: intervention! TAKEAWAYS The past is the best predictor of the future unless there’s an intervention A person is not born a narcissist, but rather, it is learned behavior Narcissism can also be defined as “extreme emotional immaturity” Ongoing emotional abuse can result in PTSD or CPTSD in the victim 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo When Loving Him is Hurting You book: https://amzn.to/42MBtn5 The Core Program for Men: https://bit.ly/48rC1AU   🔗 CONNECT WITH MARRIAGE RECOVERY CENTER Website: https://marriagerecoverycenter.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marriagerecoverycenter/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marriagerecoverycenter/ YouTube: https://bit.ly/3OFUfqo Podcast: https://marriagerecoverycenter.com/podcast/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247: https://petclub247.com/tina  Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10  TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina 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/

In this final installment of a very important conversation with former FEMA official and investigator Celeste Solum, the story of Sophie Scholl, a young woman who stood up against the Nazi regime, is discussed. Celeste recommends that Christians watch this multi-award winning drama Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, to properly understand the kind of persecution that will likely soon transpire in America. There are over 1,000 FEMA or concentration camps currently in existence in the U.S., and Celeste says that they are being set up to be depopulation centers as the world moves closer toward globalist tyranny. This is a posthuman world, according to the United Nations and the elites. They won’t need most of the human population to fulfill their wicked scheme and plan to replace humans with synthetic humanoids. TAKEAWAYS Nazi influence over American government has been more intense than people realize Celeste recommends that everyone read, The Holocaust Chronicles: A History in Words and Pictures What happened in the Holocaust was “perfectly legal,” and therefore all the more chilling on what can happen here in America The elites will not need a large population and will not need slave labor, hence their plans for mass murdering humans worldwide 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Obama Purchases 30,000 Guillotines video: https://bit.ly/4aKXlCV The 7 Thunders Revealed book: https://amzn.to/3w9mc3l Sophie Scholl - The Final Days Film: https://zeitgeistfilms.com/film/sophiescholl Sophie Scholl - The Final Days Movie Trailer: https://youtu.be/u2nG2RVBP7c The Holocaust Chronicle book: https://amzn.to/3HLUtIN The NDAA Abolishes Civil Liberties: https://bit.ly/3tYfgp5 NY Posthuman Fall Summit: https://bit.ly/3HnEOyW Hundreds of Walmarts Close: https://bit.ly/3vEPFSB Georgia Guidestones Demolished video: https://bit.ly/3vDblOV   🔗 CONNECT WITH CELESTE SOLUM Website: https://celestialreport.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestialrakiya/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CelesteSolum Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/CelesteSolum   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10  TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/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/

It’s easy to be distracted and discouraged by the hardships in our lives. In the thick of our greatest struggles, we often forget to delve deep into the rich peace and hope that God offers through a powerful prayer life. Dr. Bill Thrasher is a professor of theology at Moody Bible Institute and the author of How to Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life: Transforming Your Prayers into Spirit-Empowered, Life-Giving Adventure. After years of a personal pilgrimage learning how to pray, Bill shares some of his hard-won wisdom about welcoming the Holy Spirit into our conversations and personal time with the Lord. He also talks about how to identify a dead prayer life, the benefits of a healthy prayer life, and the relational joy with the Lord that waits for those who are willing to spend time with God! TAKEAWAYS God wins victories even amid defeat Sometimes you need to be strengthened to believe - sometimes you need people praying for you or with you to help you cope with difficulty The Lord tells us in His Word to be anxious for nothing and to give our anxieties to Him When God wants to do something, He places a prayer burden on someone’s heart 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo Billy Graham video: https://bit.ly/3FVfr75 How to Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life book: https://amzn.to/4713KqA   🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central theme in Scripture that gives us a hope for a future in heaven, says Jeff Brannon, a professor and chair of biblical studies at Belhaven University. Jesus died as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, but the story doesn’t end with His death - it truly begins with the resurrection! Without the resurrection, there is no Christianity. We should celebrate Easter every day and rejoice in Christ’s powerful victory over sin and death. He is the hero who came to save us from the enemy who sought to destroy us. Because of Christ, we have joy and hope for tomorrow because He was vindicated and declared righteous and the King of Kings when He rose again. TAKEAWAYS Jesus was unjustly put to death, but He conquered sin when He rose from the grave All the benefits we have as a Christian center on the resurrection and us being united with Christ Before our salvation, we had a sin-centered master and a sin nature: now we we have new orientation and identity as Christians We are servants of righteousness 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Gabb Wireless (get $25 off with code TINA): http://gabb.com/promo/TINA The Hope of Life After Death book: https://amzn.to/3LiciRx   🔗 CONNECT WITH JEFF BRANNON Website: https://bit.ly/4cpMyye   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10 Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.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/

Is it a bad thing to constantly be busy? Will the business become a distraction that takes our eyes off Christ? Pastor Rush Witt talks about finding hope in Christ, and explains why activities become distractions if we are running to those things constantly and they begin to capitalize our thoughts. What’s your go-to when you have downtime? Is it Christ or a distraction? Surround yourself with Christian people who encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus. A strong Christian community is a key component of staying firm in the faith. There is always hope in Christ, Rush says. Look to He who overcomes rather than the chaos of this world. TAKEAWAYS We need to meditate on the truths of the Word of God when we are feeling discouraged We MUST look to Christ who overcomes in all things There are many resources and hotlines for those struggling with feelings of depression or suicide Escapism holds a powerful allure in every season and it’s important to recognize if we are pursuing escapism instead of Jesus 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Tune Into the Program: https://counterculturemom.com I Want to Escape book: https://amzn.to/3xUQeJG 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline: https://988lifeline.org/   🔗 CONNECT WITH RUSH WITT Website: https://mynameisrush.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rushwitt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mynameisrush X: https://twitter.com/mynameisrush   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina PetClub 247: https://petclub247.com/tina 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 tend to lean into escapism when we binge-watch television or scroll social media for hours? Most of us are slow movers when it comes to change, Rush Witt says, because fallen people in a fallen world tend to place obstacles in their own path to avoid giving up their escapist vices. Rush is a biblical counselor and the pastor of Paramount Church and discusses how he and his wife made their way through a difficult season of life and survived it through God’s grace with the help of solid counseling. He talks about the four ways people often seek escape rather than God: denial, deflection, distraction, and even death. The Bible says that our issues ultimately spring up from within the heart. What does your heart say about you? TAKEAWAYS We should always turn to God first when we have problems we are facing or needing to address What’s coming out of our heart says a lot about who we really are Guard your heart not just from the influences of the world, but guard what is coming out of your heart, as well Draw near to Jesus as your hope and help in time of need and through thanksgiving and prayer 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Kerusso T-shirts (get 15% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3SbSJvN I Want to Escape book: https://amzn.to/3xUQeJG   🔗 CONNECT WITH RUSH WITT Website: https://mynameisrush.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rushwitt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mynameisrush X: https://twitter.com/mynameisrush   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina PetClub 247: https://petclub247.com/tina Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10   🔗 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/

Even in the midst of Mardi Gras madness, there is an opportunity to spread the joy of Christ. Tara Dew has shared Jesus in her community by going into the heart of New Orleans to proclaim the Gospel. She is the president’s wife of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, director of Thrive ministries, and author of Overflowing Joy: What Jesus Says About a Joy-Filled Life. She discusses what it’s like to witness during Mardi Gras celebrations and discusses the three big “Ps” of her book: Pruning, Presence, and Persevering in God’s commands. She also talks about why women often feel like they are not doing well in life, thanks to unfair pressures and social media illusions. “Don’t let the world distract you,” she says. Jesus alone is our life and our joy. TAKEAWAYS Jesus is the rooted vine that gives life to the branches, which represent us Comparison is a thief of joy We often forget that attitudes are contagious and that our JOY can be contagious Mardi Gras is more scandalous in the French Quarter where the partying takes place, but offers an excellent opportunity to witness 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Gabb Wireless (get $25 off with code TINA): http://gabb.com/promo/TINA Overflowing Joy book: https://bit.ly/4ewrGac   🔗 CONNECT WITH TARA DEW Twitter: https://twitter.com/TaraBDew   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247: https://petclub247.com/tina Rapid Radios (get 10% off with code TINA): https://rapidradios.com/discount/TINA Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10 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/

How can we find happiness even when we are suffering in the midst of circumstances beyond our control? Author Michele Howe is a teacher and writer who addresses how important it is to dig deep into Scripture and learn more about God so that we can know how to find peace and strength to persevere amidst life’s struggles. Find time to spend with God - even if it’s just a few minutes each day. God will honor your time with Him, so make those minutes count! Strive to have a heart of gratitude, not grumbling. We should emulate the attitude of the apostle Paul, who suffered greatly, but learned to be content in all circumstances. Whatever we are dealing with - our response begins in our heart, so let’s give our hearts to God. TAKEAWAYS We would all like to be strong and independent but GOD alone is our strength and our redeemer How good is God not to always give us the desires of our heart - He knows what we need and when we need it Without Christ we have no hope God is sovereign, even when you feel like your life is out of control 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3WgANmo The Humble Life book: https://amzn.to/4cq8Os2   🔗 CONNECT WITH MICHELLE HOWE Website: https://michelehowe.wordpress.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MicheleHoweAuthor/   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Sanus1 (get 10% off with code Tina10): www.sanus1.com/Tina10 Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.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/

Take your everyday, practical worries and give them to God! This is the wise advice that pastor and author Josiah Bancroft shares about faith, peace, and long suffering. He also discusses the hallmarks of a mature Christian and how suffering can play an integral role in growing our faith, even if it’s uncomfortable and extremely difficult. Part of the key to growing in faith is rejoicing in Jesus regardless of circumstances, he says. We’re going to have trials and tribulations, but we can be content in Christ because His presence in our lives is solid and will never change. God can be what you can’t and that should give us encouragement. Give yourself time to process grief or difficulties and turn to Christ for help.
