The economic crisis in this country is affecting more than just our jobs and mortgages; it’s affecting our relationships too. According to mental health counselor, Dr. Gregg Jantz, during times of extreme stress, people often lash out at those closest to them. “Fear is everywhere,” says Jantz “and fear coupled with anxiety is toxic to any relationship.” Join us at noon (CDT) on March 19th as Dr. Jantz offers suggestions on how to nurture your relationship during these nerve-racking days. Gregg Jantz is a certified eating disorder specialist, certified chemical dependency counselor, a nationally certified psychologist, and a licensed mental health counselor.

Recording Artist Warren Barfield on GOD UNPLUGGED
You get up. You eat breakfast (or not). You go to work. You eat lunch. You come home. You have dinner. You go to bed. For most, the routine leaves little time for anything else. The results are usually shallow relationships with our friends, families, and our Maker. But, when your head hits the pillow at the end of the day, do you ever question if you’ve made the wrong things important? North Carolina-born singer/songwriter Warren Barfield is on a mission to make the truly important things important again in his life. Things like faith, love, marriage, children, truth, and with his songs, he challenges us all to do the […]

This week’s guest on GOD UNPLUGGED is NFL kicker, Jason Hanson. The 17-year veteran, and one of the NFL’s most productive kickers, is the Detroit Lions’ all-time scoring leader with 1,714 points as well as the all-time leader in field goals and extra points. Hanson became only the eighth player in NFL history to surpass the 1,700-point mark in 2008, and he ranks third in all-time scoring amongst active players. With 39 field goals of 50 yards or more, Hanson is in second place all-time among kickers in NFL history and is just one field goal shy of the all-time record. Amazingly, the Spokane, Wash., native has only missed seven […]
Read more...The Adoption Option
23-year-old recording artist, Nate Huss, is putting his money where his mouth is…literally. Unlike most recording artists who support a cause from the sidelines, Nate is giving his pet project, adoption, all of his attention. For the month of November, Nate has literally taken his website down and put a holding page about adoption in it’s place. That’s a costly move for an up-and-comer who is building a name for himself. It just goes to show you what a quality guy he is. Nate was only three weeks old when he was placed in the loving arms of his new adopted family – the Phoenix home of Dave and Sylvia […]

As a devoted follower of Christ, I am in many ways saddened by the state of the Christian Church as an institution, and I will be addressing some of those issues in upcoming blogs. There are many who share my thoughts. On Monday morning I listed my status on Facebook as “Frustrated with Organized Religion.” For the next day my email inbox sounded like popcorn – I was peppered with responses from people who wholeheartedly agree with that statement. These people aren’t atheists or people of other religions, they are fellow Christians. Here are some of the comments: “…constructs of men (mankind) will never measure up!” “Preach it, sister.” “Good […]

The Frazzled Female Syndrome — Do you have it? Are you stressed, fatigued, overwhelmed, frustrated, and just outright exhausted to the core? Has your juggling-act unraveled leaving you a lifeless mess? Maybe you’re burning the candle at both ends in relation to a job, your marriage, housework, children, finances, an illness, your parents, or some other relationship. Maybe it’s some of that, all of that, or none of the above, and you’re just inexplicably on-the-go all the time, putting out fires and missing out on the joy of life. Whatever the case, only God can bring true, unfailing resolve and stability to the messes and stresses that a woman endures. […]

Be more than a Bible beater on this week’s GOD UNPLUGGED
This week’s guest on GOD UNPLUGGED is blues artist Jimmy Needham. Jimmy is on a mission to make Jesus famous. Following his 2006 debut CD “Speak,” his new release, “Not Without Love” was inspired by Needham’s realization that he “had shared the gospel with so many people in the flesh but all they knew was the Bible beater…There is something so appealing when we love like Jesus did. We’ll talk about his whirlwind career, struggles and mission… and hear a few tracks from his new album. Blog Talk Radio is pretty cool.
