Ep. 743 - Blind and Deaf Man Invents Light Up Cane After Being Hit by Three Vehicles - Kelvin Crosby

January 8, 2025 • Tina Griffin

Many people don’t realize how dangerous the world can be for those who are blind. Hero Kelvin Crosby suffers from both blindness and deafness and shares about his severe disadvantages, multiple suicide attempts, even his narrow escape from almost being killed crossing the street on three separate occasions. After he was struck by a taxi in New York City in sub-zero temperatures, he knew he had to do something to help other visually impaired people be able to cross the street safely. Shortly after, he ingeniously created the See Me Cane. He advocates for a type of “defensive walking,” which is helpful for blind people walking in specifically low-light situations. Defensive walking cultivates a cautionary environment that helps others react to what you are doing rather than the other way around, Kelvin explains.

Ep. 746 - Managing Emotions Lowers Stress and Heals Our Parasympathetic Nervous System - Eliza Huie

January 14, 2025 • Tina Griffin

Why do we become so overloaded with stress? And even more importantly, how can we offload the pressure it puts on our minds and bodies? Eliza Huie is an author and biblical counselor who addresses healthy ways to deal with stress by understanding the autonomic, sympathetic, and parasympathetic nervous systems. When our mental gas pedals get stuck on anxiety and stress, it’s hard to learn how to regulate our emotions which affect our physical health, but it can be done! Eliza offers advice on how to clear your mind, activate the healing parasympathetic nervous system, and reset your heart and soul when facing difficult times. TAKEAWAYS Be more mindful and pay more attention to what your body is telling you and act accordingly Reduce the amount of noise in your life - everything from sound to input overload, especially social media It’s critical to do a sensory reset often, which involves giving yourself time to be in complete silence and shut out constant overstimulation Get curious, know your limitations, and remind yourself that you have a God who is limitless 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Stand Up Now Apparel (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4fgfwcj I’m Stressed book: https://bit.ly/4fjai3a Sensory Reset Challenge: https://bit.ly/3bsrsxx 🔗 CONNECT WITH ELIZA HUIE Website: https://www.elizahuie.com/http://www.elizahuie.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elizajanehuiehttp://www.facebook.com/elizajanehuie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuiehttp://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuie X: https://x.com/elizajanehuie 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Jase Medical (get a discount with code TINA): https://bit.ly/jaseccm LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ My Father’s World: http://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

Ep. 745 - Stress versus Anxiety, Self-Care Tactics, and Setting Boundaries - Eliza Huie

January 13, 2025 • Tina Griffin

“If you don’t make time for your rest, you will be forced to make time for your exhaustion,” says Eliza Huie. She is the author of multiple books and serves as a biblical counselor. Eliza tackles the hefty topic of stress and anxiety - and how those two things overlap and affect not only our spiritual and emotional well-being, but also our physical health. It’s very important to deal with our stress, Eliza advises, because it impacts every area of our life whether we recognize it or not. In order for us to care for others in a fruitful way, we need to take care of ourselves. Christians must embrace healthy prayer and common sense self-care practices to remain active, engaged, and at peace no matter the circumstances. TAKEAWAYS Pay attention to what your physical body is telling you Stress is contagious - it can rub off on you from other people and vice versa There are times when it is appropriate and wise to put boundaries within the context of relationships Stress tends to have a compounding effect over time and if not addressed, can lead to disease and possibly death 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3wganmo I’m Stressed book: https://bit.ly/4fjai3a Opinion About Stress article: https://bit.ly/4fvoddl 🔗 CONNECT WITH ELIZA HUIE Website: https://www.elizahuie.com/http://www.elizahuie.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elizajanehuiehttp://www.facebook.com/elizajanehuie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuiehttp://www.instagram.com/elizajanehuie X: https://x.com/elizajanehuie 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina Equipping The Persecuted: https://equippingthepersecuted.org/donate Give A Derm (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4e7x5n6 Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/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/

Ep. 744 - Persevering During Difficult Times Produces Peace, Strength, and Obedience - Donna Snow

January 9, 2025 • Tina Griffin

What does it mean to persevere - what kind of strength does it take? Perseverance is something Donna Snow personally encountered and now lives to teach others how to master. After discovering her husband’s multiple affairs 15 years ago, she had to learn how to take one painful day at a time while on her journey of healing and forgiveness. Nothing should stop you from persevering no matter what happens to you or what you’ve done, she says. Donna suggests praying your way through the challenges of life, and discusses in detail the subject of forgiveness. Jesus died so that we can be free, and we are truly blessed to be able to forgive others as He forgave us - even when they do not deserve it. Forgiveness is a biblical command. TAKEAWAYS Perseverance means getting up every day and facing life’s challenges even when you don’t want to and being obedient to the Lord Someone who has been strengthened through the trials and fires of life is more relatable to others who are suffering similar challenges Forgiveness is God’s wonderful gift to us and one we should always give to others Marriage is not about two halves coming together - it’s about two whole, individual people putting Jesus first 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3wganmo Perseverance book: https://bit.ly/3bgipzw Forgiveness book: https://bit.ly/3pccp9u 🔗 CONNECT WITH ARTESIAN MINISTRIES Website: https://www.artesianministries.org/http://www.artesianministries.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100056493557884http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100056493557884 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donnasnowpyle/http://www.instagram.com/donnasnowpyle X: https://x.com/realdonnasnow YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@donnasnowpylehttp://www.youtube.com/@donnasnowpyle Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/donnasnowpyle/http://www.pinterest.com/donnasnowpyle 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/pbvaccm LifeVac (get 10% off with code TINA): https://lifevac.net/ Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ Redemption Shield (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3wzgeiq 🔗 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/
