The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

When life is bright and blessings fall abundantly, it’s easy to praise the Lord. But what about when things aren’t so great? What about when things feel awful, and heartache fills your soul? It is hard to praise the Lord when you’re deep in the pit of despair. Wendy Speake’s book provides a pathway through both sorrow and joy. A Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving: 30 Days of Rejoicing in God’s Goodness guides readers through the real-life struggle of praising the Lord, even when life doesn’t feel good. Wendy also talks about the “30 Days of Praise and Thanksgiving Ask Fast,” a special November challenge to Christians: lay down your petitions and simply praise the Lord for one month. Lean into a life of continual praise and gratitude. You’d be surprised what the Lord can do!

Brad Hambrick is the pastor of counseling at The Summit Church and the author of a key book that will help Christians dive deeper into the relationships in their lives. His book, Transformative Friendships: 7 Questions to Deepen Any Relationship, encourages readers to develop new habits and lifestyles that will grow and reshape their relationships with both close and casual friends. He also discusses the impact that social media has on the development of friendships in the modern era, and how extroverts and introverts approach relationships differently, but can expand their view and behaviors of their current connections. He answers key questions about how to balance casual versus deeply intimate partnerships, and dispels some myths about friendship that everyone needs to hear.

Becca Spinks is all about safety and empowerment. As a Texas-born firearms and self-defense instructor, she knows a plethora about staying safe. This mindset is what prompted her to do whatever she could to help protect today’s kids by getting involved in research and advocacy surrounding digital safety and stopping online exploitation. Becca has done extensive research into the online harassment and extremist group, 764, which specifically targets children. As a mom herself, she was alarmed to discover that many parents are not aware of the dangers kids are exposed to online, especially on platforms like Discord or Roblox. Online harassment groups are like cults - they are humiliating, destructive, and in some cases, lethal.


TAKEAWAYS


764 is essentially an online harassment and extortion group aimed to force kids to commit suicide


Understand that your kids are smart, and they will find ways around digital barriers - keep communication open


764 members have gone so far as to mail burner phones to kids’ houses


The best safety bet: not allowing young children to participate on platforms where they can talk to strangers

In 1999, a gunman entered Wedgwood Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, and opened fire. He killed seven people and injured several others. Mary Beth Talley was shot at close range that day and survived. Last year, she published her memoir, which focuses heavily on the aftermath of surviving such a traumatic event: Not Bad, Just Different - Living Life as a Mass Shooting Survivor. Mary shares the story of how things happened that horrific day, and how the Lord has been with her throughout every stage of her healing journey through the PTSD and grief that came in the wake of the terrible incident. You have to be the initiator of the healing process, she says, and the Lord will meet you there.


TAKEAWAYS


The Wedgwood church shooting happened during a ‘See You At the Pole’ event


The gunman killed himself after the shooting, leaving his motivations unknown


Mary’s book isn’t about the shooting as much as it is about life afterwards


Mary says she felt a sense of God-given peace after she had been shot
