  1. What Role Does Porn Play in Your Christian Marriage?

    What Role Does Porn Play in Your Christian Marriage?

    "It's not playing any role!" I hope that's true, but chances are good that porn is affecting your Christian marriage. Approximately 2/3 of Christian men and 1/3 of Christian women admit to a struggle with porn. That statistic holds even when that Christian man or woman gets married. And the impact of porn usually continues long after the actual porn use stops. This episode looks at the multiple ways in which your or your spouse's porn use has affected your marriage, your intimacy, and even your relationship with God. And then we discuss several practical things to do to when you realize how your heart, life, and marriage have been impacted.  Check out our brand new Sexpectations online course. Discover your pathway to sexual wholeness as you explore your sexual story with honesty and compassion, find hope and healing from past harm, shame, and brokenness, and experience grace from Jesus as you invite Him into the hard places of your story. Nothing stays the same when Jesus shows up! Get the course now. Dr. Carol loves to hear from you. You can send a confidential message here.

    What's the current state of affairs when it comes to sex and sexuality - in culture, in the Christian church, in your life?

    A Fresh Perspective on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

    A Christmas Carol, the classic story by Charles Dickens, has been made into several movies and told in countless ways for generations. However, is it possible that this holiday story of Ebeneezer Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come might have meaning to your own life story? In this special Christmas episode Dr. Carol talks with best-selling author and columnist Bob Welch about stinginess, innocence, grief, joy, transformation, and other contemporary and meaningful lessons about how to live - and how not to live - not only at Christmas but throughout the year. See more from Bob Welch on his website, Facebook, or Instagram Bob Welch's book 52 Little Lessons from A Christmas Carol: Inspirational Reflections for the Advent Season Bob Welch's other "52 Little Lessons" books from It's A Wonderful Life, and Les Miserables In your year-end charitable giving, prayerfully consider a gift to ARISE: A Place of Transformation Dr. Carol loves to hear from you.

  7. Can Biblical Friendships Be the Cure to Loneliness?

    12/10/2024

    Can Biblical Friendships Be the Cure to Loneliness?

    Christians have the best answer to the epidemic of loneliness in our culture. As articulated by the US Surgeon General, being disconnected has life-damaging consequences. But too many in the body of Christ are neither experiencing nor offering the kind of friendship Christians are uniquely equipped to provide. Dr. Carol's guest on this episode is author and podcaster Rebecca McLaughlin who has a PhD in literature from Cambridge University and a theology degree from Oak Hill Theological College in London. She contends that friendship love is not optional for followers of Jesus. She explains why this love is, in New Testament terms, more critical than marriage or romantic love. And she talks about what this can practically look like for you. Connect with Rebecca McLaughlin on her website, X (Twitter), or Instagram    Find Rebecca's book No Greater Love: A Biblical Vision for Friendship          Check out Dr. Carol's article How to Find Your People When You Need Help Dr. Carol loves to hear from you.
