How Do I Find Community In A New Place?
Making friends can feel hard, and finding community can feel even harder….
Today on the podcast, I talk to Stephanie who recently moved to a new place and is looking for ways to connect with others and form community.
We often talk about the benefits of community, but we don’t always discuss how to practically create that type of environment.
If this is something you have been wanting to do, take a listen to this on-air session because it will challenge you and help you take some next steps in community.

When Ministry is REALLY Hard with Matt Brown
We don’t often consider the toll that full time ministry takes on pastors and leaders in the church.
The role of leading people spiritually also comes at a cost — and often times that cost can be great!
Today on the podcast I process this with Pastor Matt Brown, and specifically what to do when Ministry life is really hard.
In our on-air counseling session, we talk about what it feels like to have your life and family under a microscope, to feel judged by bystanders, and to be rejected by people you love… as well as how to respond in healthy ways to these really hard life moments.
If you or someone you know is in ministry this conversation is so important!

Rejection Wounds with Alexandra Hoover
How do you handle rejection?
Worse yet, how do you handle rejection from people you hoped to be able to trust?
How do you recover from feeling unwanted or unneeded? How do you keep it from becoming part of your beliefs and identity?
This week on the podcast I have a powerful on-air session with Alexandra Hoover, and we start putting together the pieces of the puzzle of what caused her to have a vulnerability towards rejection.
I help her identify where this came from, and how it might be impacting other parts of her life and ministry. It’s a powerful and emotional conversation, and I believe it will really challenge and bless you in your personal life as well as in your ministry.

When You Feel Like You Don't Fit In with Brian Tome
What do you do when you feel like you don’t fit in?
What do you do when you don’t even feel like you belong in your own family?
How can you take that feeling that you don’t belong, and turn it into something good… Something healthy… Something purposeful and meaningful?
This is exactly the subject we dive into today in this on-air counseling session with Brian Tome. He felt out of place in his own life— and for good reason.
We talk about some of his hurts from the past, and how they impacted & informed his calling in the present.
Let me just tell you, this man is a character… And it was a joy to chat with him and process some of these things out loud.
Let me know what you think of this conversation!!

Great Podcast
I’m a new listener lol but I can say I love the podcast. Mainly because I’m a Christian and it’s uplifting and helpful to listen to advice based on what God says.
Best podcast!
I love listening to Debra Fileta. I first heard her on Focus on the Family. I read both of her books and now listen to her podcast. I also let others know so they can enjoy it as well. She has such a gift of getting to the real issues and helping people recognize it for themselves. And putting a Christian perspective on everything makes it that much better!
BEST podcast ever!
I found this podcast after reading Debra’s book “Reset.” Since then, I’ve done a deep dive to heal emotionally, and spiritually. I love listening to her podcast because it feels like a counseling session every time. Debra’s wisdom is unmatched and she has helped me more than I can express!! Thank you so much for this podcast! 🤍🤍🤍
