In this shorter episode, you will hear about J's story and how he taught truth but sometimes wasn't living it out.This episode attempts to introduce a new short devotional podcast from J. So, why would you listen if he has inauthentically taught before? In 2007, at a church in Cincinnati, J. lived a hypocritical life at times. For the next 10 years in the church, he struggle hard to live what he preached. Through much help and the conviction, healing and forgiveness from the Lord, J. wants to share what he knows. J. wants to use his gift of teaching to teach about the issues of mental health, redemption and forgiveness. If you look closely at J. you will see a broken man with a lot of patched cracks. You may even still see some pieces missing. However, J. tries very hard to live his faith authentically and from a place that he can be honest that points all glory to Jesus Christ. As J. gets back to teaching, give the devotionals a shot and listen to biblical truth that comes from a man passionate abo

In this episode, we are joined on the phone (our first phone interview...so hang with us) by Dr. Kipp Tiger. Becca and I just call him Kipp because he is one of my 3 great brother-in-laws. Kipp is one of the funniest guys I know, is one of the smartest guys I know and he cares about people and the Lord. Medication, many times, is a huge part of healing and even ongoing stability. This episode will be beneficial for those new to medication as well as those that have been on medication for years...ME! There is also this belief that somehow your bible is enough to take care of mental health symptoms...you can chew on that if you wish, but at C50 we think that both Medication and Jesus can work together...better yet, Jesus may use medication is his redemptive process.

In this episode, you will hear us talk about forgiveness. Why is this important, well, we feel and have experienced that forgiveness can be difficult in the mental health world. First, for the person that has been hurt by risky and unhealthy behaviors. Second, for the person that desires to unload the weight of their past behavior. Forgiveness can be achieved and found. We believe we do know how this can happen, so let this bold statement prove itself true as you listen to the podcast. Guest: Tom Rojahn, Campus Pastor at Robinson, The Bible ChapelSupport the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

In this episode, you will hear about Karen and Becca's experience dealing with Bella & J's mental illness. You will also hear J & Bella talk about what they feel is helpful. Of course, we are not professionals but as Bella says in this episode, "we are professionals in our own experiences." There is not 1 way to support someone. Time and circumstances also change how you interact with someone struggling with their mental health or illness. If you would like to ask us questions, please visit us at www.C50Hope.comIf you need help finding a good counselor, we may be able to help. Please contact us. We believe that medication and therapy can fit well with Jesus' healing if needed. Ultimately Jesus holds everything in his beautiful, strong and loving grip. As we reach out to others, you are not alone...Christ is already there.Support the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)

In this episode, not only will you will hear about the trials Becca has gone through while being a wife to J. who has a mental illness, but you will hear mainly about her own deep struggle with codependency. Like many, codependency was unknown to Becca until she read a book entitled 9 Things You Simply Must Do by Henry Cloud. She had lived many years pleasing J and others and had lost her own way. C50 realizes that there are 2 sides of mental health. The people we think are obviously hurting and their "strong" support team. You will learn that the support team may be seriously hurting too and many times long before a diagnosis or a struggling individual realizes they need to change. Listen to this powerful story of redemption and a life that went from Hurt To Hope.* Follow Becca's Instagram- @Overcoming_codependencySupport the show (https://www.c50hope.com/giving-info)
