Several listeners have questions about their underlying or long term illnesses, and Dr. Mark’s answers have a common thread. Shingles, multiple sclerosis, epstein-barr, meningitis, and hormonal acne, to name a few.

We’re also talking about the science behind hydrogen water and how you can decide if it’s right for you. Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/seeking-health-maximizing-health-long-term-concerns

Life is just confusing sometimes, isn’t it? Today’s podcast is a collection of questions that don’t have clear answers. Thankfully we have the Lord to lean on and ask for wisdom!

Trump isn’t all that strong on abortion. Should I still vote for him? | Our daughter has gone “no contact” on us and won’t tell us why. | My co-worker has invited me to her homosexual wedding. What should I do? | What missionary stories did you read? 

Listen in, friends! I think you’ll be encouraged.

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.

Do you feel like you’re moving in the same direction with your spouse or just landing in the same room together every night? Today I’m joined by Gina & Julia Barbero and we’re talking about the importance of being on a shared mission with your spouse, collaboration with and support of each other. Money can be a major stressor in marriage, but it’s also a tool for a whole lot of good.
