In this episode, Rebekah welcomes author, speaker, and family law mediator Toni Nieuwhof, as well as speaker and author Riley Kehoe, for a deep dive into what it looks like to hold nothing back from God, whether that's our grief, our doubts or our unanswered prayers.The conversation centers on Honest to God: Daring to Trust When You Don't Understand, a collaborative book inspired by testimonies from many people who have wrestled with trusting God through suffering. Built on the framework of Moses leaning into God with his questions in Exodus 33, the book invites us to be as honest as David was in the Psalms. Rebekah, Toni and Riley share their own stories: a Down syndrome diagnosis in the NICU, a decades-long sun allergy that hasn't been healed, a concussion that changed a prayer life, and a lonely night that became an invitation to lament. Riley puts the reframe simply: doubt can be the labor pains of greater faith.Whether you're carrying grief you've never said out loud to God or waiting on a prayer that hasn't been answered, this conversation offers simple, practical rhythms for turning your face toward Jesus.In this episode, you'll hear: David as the Example: Find inspiration for how to express hurt to God in David’s willingness to hold nothing back in the Psalms.The Consequence of Holding Grief: Hear how two decades of hiding her feelings from God showed up in Riley’s body, and how she finally reached a place of honesty from that.Man of Sorrows: Be encouraged by Jesus’ personal experience with grief that allows us to be heard and understood by him in our hurt.Waiting For Healing: Learn about Toni’s health struggles, the prayers she’s prayed, and why she continues to turn to God for healing after decades of crying out.The Breath Prayer: Discover a form of prayer that permanently changed Toni’s prayer life, and has continued to bring her to a place of peace.Resources: Buy Honest to God: https://shop.honesttogodbook.com Toni Nieuwhof's website: toninieuwhof.comRiley Kehoe's website: rileywithcourage.comFollow Riley on Instagram: @rileywithcourageGet The Fight for Us book and curriculum: The Fight For UsTake the THINQ Assessment: https://thinqassessment.scoreapp.com/Create a free THINQ Account: Access more trusted content at https://thinqmedia.comJoin us November 19-20 for our Emotional Health Retreat in Franklin, TN.

In this episode, Rebekah Lyons has the opportunity to sit down with author, speaker, and recovery expert Caroline Beidler to dive into what it looks like to show up for someone you love while they go through recovery.With today’s growing mental health crisis, almost all of us know and love someone walking through some form of recovery. Despite this, there are limited resources for their friends and family members to know how best to show up. Through her own recovery journey, and through walking with others, Caroline saw this gap, which led to her newly released book, When You Love Someone in Recovery: A Hopeful Guide to Understanding Addiction. In this episode, Rebekah and Caroline share their own journeys with recovery, as well as valuable insight into how best to support the people we love. Whether you're loving someone actively struggling or walking alongside them years into recovery, this conversation offers a practical, faith-rooted way to move from confusion and walking on eggshells toward real, sustainable support.In this episode, you'll hear: Caroline's Story, From the Basement Up: How a childhood shaped by trauma and addiction led Caroline to her own recovery.The Recovery Revival: Why the shame that once kept recovery hidden in church basements is lifting, and how more churches and believers are bringing these stories into the light.Understanding, Not Fear: Why addiction is a spiritual, physical, and human condition, and how reframing it that way helps loved ones show up with compassion instead of judgment.The Prodigal Son and the Posture of Support: What the father's response in Luke 15 teaches us about showing up for a loved one before they've "got it together.”Forgiveness as a Holy Intervention: Why unresolved grief and trauma so often sit underneath addiction, and how Caroline learned that forgiveness — offered and received — is essential, supernatural, and rarely a solo act.Loving Well Without Rescuing: Practical wisdom for parents and loved ones on setting boundaries, having honest conversations, and showing up in small, consistent ways instead of trying to fix or control the outcome.Resources: Pre-Order Gabe's new book: The Collapse is Here.

Do you ever feel like you and the people you love are having the same misunderstandings over and over again? In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah Lyons sit down with psychotherapist, speaker, and longtime friend, Jason VanRuler to dive into the five Communication Types that people tend to fall into in relationships. Jason spends his days sitting with couples, teams, and executives in high-pressure conversations, and over time he started noticing a pattern: even when someone's intentions were good, there always ended up being a disconnect.
