Ep. 692 - Mental Health Specialist Shares How to Detect and Stop Emotional Abuse - Dr. Gregg Jantz

October 10, 2024 • Tina Griffin

There are many reasons why kids bully others, but it’s not as cut-and-dried as you may think. Dr. Gregg Jantz is a psychologist, licensed mental health counselor, and author of more than 40 books. He is an expert on the subject of bullying, identifying where the behavior stems from, and how to firmly and courageously stand up to bullies in an appropriate manner. He also discusses the reasons why bullies often push others around, and how various homelife situations can impact these kids’ behavior. Gregg lays out a few excellent strategies for dealing with bullying, finding courage, and sending the proper signals for self-protection. “We do want to keep a tender heart and not grow hardened early on in our lives,” he shares.

TAKEAWAYS

Forgiveness is an integral part of moving past abuse and bullying situations

Childhood trauma does impact behavior later in life, and it’s important to understand how, without living in the past

Our culture of fear and anxiety often cultivates the epidemic of kids acting out inappropriately

Ep. 732 - Misunderstandings of Mental Health and How to Help Those Suffering - Matthew Stanford

December 19, 2024

A lot of people get the lines between spiritual problems and mental problems confused, but one thing is clear: the church has historically been a safe and helpful place for people suffering and seeking shelter and support. Matthew Stanford is the CEO of the Hope and Healing Center and Institute in Texas. He shares about the misunderstanding surrounding mental health problems with Christians and children. He also praises the church for being on the front lines of mental health support. Matthew points out hallmarks of depression in children and how the church can come alongside families during difficult times of diagnosis and mental health struggles. We as parents can also teach our children how to deal with stress and tension in our everyday lives in a healthy manner.

December 18, 2024 • Tina Griffin

The word of God is alive and it is sharper than any two-edged sword! On the mental health battleground, secular treatment will leave you spiritually empty.

Ep. 730 - Causes of Depression, Rising Rates of Anxiety, and Treatment Options - Dr. David Carreon

December 17, 2024 • Tina Griffin

American society has shifted significantly in the last few decades - markedly, Americans’ friendship circles are smaller than ever before, and depression seems to be a constant, nagging problem. Noted psychiatrist and author, Dr. David Carreon, discusses the reasons behind depression and how people are more atomized and individualized than ever. This individuality can result in increased isolation and be a major contributing factor to depression. He also talks about the rising rates of anxiety and depression disorders, as well as disturbing upward trends in suicides nationwide. How could a Biblical vision of eternity help our culture? At the heart of it all, the driving factor behind depression is the fallen state of this sinful world. David helps us recognize the red flags and solutions for depression. TAKEAWAYS Encourage your friends and family members who are depressed to seek treatment and not deal with depression alone Depression is not what’s wrong with society - sin is Depression is very much a form of long-term human suffering Feeling depressed is one of the hardest human experiences to endure 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Stand Up Now Apparel (get 10% off order and free shipping with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4fgfwcj The Opposite of Depression book: https://amzn.to/3bkpxgr Bowling Alone book: https://amzn.to/3oa8qtt What’s Wrong With the World book: https://amzn.to/49vaeav 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.
