    Pastor Gia of One Fire Church Interviewing Dr. Cheryl Hardy

    Dear Listeners, We are thrilled to share this episode of the God and Therapy Podcast, featuring a deeply personal and insightful interview between Pastor Gia of One Fire Church and our host, Dr. Cheryl Hardy. This conversation spans the breadth of Dr. Hardy's life—from childhood through adulthood—offering a candid look at her journey. Having been married for 47 years, Dr. Hardy opens up about the realities of long-term partnership and shares meaningful wisdom for our audience. She also reflects on the unique challenges of being a "boy mom" to teenagers and the pressures women face today, from physical changes to societal expectations. The episode also highlights Dr. Hardy's rich life experience and history, including her reflections on the civil rights movement, the Newark riots, and the complexities of segregation within the community and the church. Dr. Hardy shares her realization—a lesson that began in college—that life is rarely black and white; rather, it is a mosaic of beautiful people from all cultures. Furthermore, she discusses her long tenure as a caregiver, providing a powerful testament to a life lived in service to others. We invite you to listen to this episode and join the conversation. Dr. Hardy would love to hear your thoughts and reflections on these topics. We are looking forward to you being a part of the God and Therapy Community.

    Let's Talk About Grief - What's in your grief case?

    Today we are talking about grief—an emotion we often dismiss, assuming it should only last for a short period. That is far from the truth. Grief is an enduring experience, and it is so important to feel, deal, and heal. This conversation explores feelings, life, suicide, and the different types of grief, including ambiguous grief, delayed grief, anticipatory grief, and normal grief. We also discuss why corporate America typically grants only three days of bereavement leave, often failing to account for the loss of a friend, aunt, cousin, or emotional support pet. We also highlight the reality of caregiver grief. Additionally, Dr. Kence highlights the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, reminding us that kindness is something needed every day and everywhere. Since this is one of our longest episodes, please share your thoughts and comments. Feel free to share where you are listening from by emailing us at godandtherapypodcast@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Peace, love, and grace, Dr. Hardy We are looking forward to you being a part of the God and Therapy Community.
