Ep. 68 - Bullying Basics and Beyond With Paul Coughlin Founder of The Protectors

October 10, 2021 • Tina Griffin

As a child Paul Coughlin endured severe physical and verbal bullying mostly from his family. After getting married and having children of his own, Paul sought counseling and turned his past nightmare into a ministry serving thousands of teens and tweens around the globe. Through creating The Protectors program, Paul has witnessed over 7,000 bullies publicly apologize to their classmates during one of his live events. In addition, Paul provides individual instruction to targets of bullying and their families and informs them on what type of person a bully preys on. The top way to stop bullying in its tracks lies in no longer being a witness, but a protector to those who are being harassed.

September 18, 2024 • Tina Griffin

This is the wisdom Michael Hingson shares as he discusses his narrow escape from the Twin Towers when they collapsed on September 11, 2001. Michael’s blindness only empowers him as a leader and educator, and he details the incredible lessons he has learned from his beloved guide dogs over the years, and why fear can be used as a valuable tool to survive and adapt. Michael is also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling book, Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Mind, His Guide Dog, & the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero.

September 17, 2024 • Tina Griffin

“Jesus, come renew my peace of mind!” sings Kim Gentry Meyer in a beautiful song titled, “Mind of Christ.” Kim is an award-winning songwriter, poet, singer, and visual artist. She also won the title of Mrs. Massachusetts in 2020, an experience that she says gave her the confidence and the tools she needed to pursue other areas of passion.

From Kim’s music to her poetry, she puts the grace of God’s giftings into everything she does and is committed to sharing her story with others to inspire and uplift them through music and art.

Ep. 677 - NFL Athlete Says Never Succumb to Opinions of Others and Failure as Final - Joe Jackson

September 16, 2024 • Tina Griffin

Joe Jackson grew up during the turbulent days of the Jim Crow laws and overcame a difficult upbringing as the result of making poor choices that negatively shaped his identity and squelched his dreams. All that changed, however, at 18 when Joe gave his life to Christ and shortly after was drafted in the NFL. Today, he’s an evangelist and the president of Joe Jackson Ministries. Joe reminds everyone that the answer to every societal ill and personal challenge is to find yourself rooted in Jesus Christ. Joe equips many athletes through the Athletes International Ministries, which is aimed at reaching professional and collegiate athletes and their coaches with the truth and training found in scripture. Joe encourages everyone to stay strong and stay the course. “Don’t let someone’s opinion of you become your reality,” he says. TAKEAWAYS Failure is not final unless you don’t learn anything from it and don’t listen to negative talk from others - God has a plan for your life The Athletes International Ministries has hosted 15,000 athletes over the years for various leadership events Jesus extends a hand of forgiveness and mercy to anyone willing to accept it and make a change in their lives No one is perfect or too “messed up” to be saved by Christ 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3rg5kgj Championship Sunday book: https://amzn.to/4ebzhpa 🔗 CONNECT WITH JOE JACKSON Website: https://joejacksonministries.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joejack86?fref=tshttp://www.facebook.com/joejack86?fref=ts 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY PetClub 247 (use this link for discounts!): https://petclub247.com/tina Restore Patch (get 10% off with code TINA): https://restorepatch.com/pages/anxiety-patch-tina Artza (get 20% off with code TINA): https://www.artzabox.com/#rfsn=tinahttp://www.artzabox.com/#rfsn=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/
