  Why "Doing All the Right Things" Isn't Healing You (Heather O'Brien)

  Aug 20, 202644 minS4

  Tanya sits down with Heather O'Brien — Spirit-led healing coach, author, and host of the Heal with God podcast — for an honest conversation about what happens when you love Jesus, serve faithfully, and still can't shake anxiety, fear, and old cycles of pain. Heather shares her own story, from years of unexplained anxiety and panic attacks to a divine encounter that broke a 10-year stronghold in just five minutes, and unpacks what it actually means to hear God's voice and pray beneath the symptom instead of just at it. If you've ever felt spiritually blocked, stuck despite doing "all the right things," or unsure how to set loving boundaries, this episode offers real, practical steps toward freedom. Key Talking Points: Why prayer, Bible reading, and church attendance don't always lead to deep healing — and what's often missing Heather's personal journey through depression, panic attacks, and 7 years of unanswered "why" The "Word + Spirit = Truth" framework for discerning God's voice from other voices A simple, practical Bible reading approach for people who feel dry or disconnected (the one-year audio plan) Praying at "symptom level" vs. getting to the root — Heather's cigarette/addiction story as a case study How personal healing ripples out and changes the people around you (the "bed-making" story) Reframing boundaries as an act of love, not rejection — and how to discern loving boundaries biblically Why isolation is one of the enemy's biggest tools, and the importance of healing in community Resources Mentioned: YouVersion Bible App (one-year reading plans, audio option) Galatians 5:22 — Fruit of the Spirit 2 Timothy 3:16 — Scripture's role to teach, correct, prepare, equip James 5:16 — Confess to one another and be healed Romans 12:1 — Worshiping God with your body (sleep, nutrition, sunlight, movement) Heather's book, Heal with God (available on Amazon and her website) Heal with God Podcast Link to Share: Heal with God Workshop (free, live, monthly): http://healwithgodworkshop.com/ Gives listeners a next step for Spirit-led teaching, practical healing tools, and live coaching to apply what they heard in this episode.

  Kids Are Exposed to Porn by Age 8 — Here's What Parents Need to Know

  Aug 13, 202648 minS4

  Tanya Gioia sits down with Chris Rogers, a certified pornography addiction recovery coach and former New York City music teacher, for an honest conversation about protecting kids in a hyper-accessible digital world. Chris shares his own journey through addiction and shame into recovery and faith, and unpacks why kids as young as 8 are being exposed to pornography — often through mainstream apps, not "dark corners" of the internet. Together, Chris and Tanya explore the difference between happiness and joy, why shame-based conversations backfire with struggling kids, and how parents can open the door to real, judgment-free conversations before the world does it for them. Key Talking Points: Why the average age of first exposure to pornography is now around 8 years old, and how it hides in plain sight on everyday apps (Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) The rise in exposure and use among young women (up to 30%) — this isn't just a "boys" issue anymore Chris's personal story: growing up in church, hiding a secret struggle, and how recovery made room for the Holy Spirit The "Thank You and Goodbye Letter" exercise Chris uses with clients Sex vs. intimacy: why the two get blurred, and the exercise Chris uses to help clients define real intimacy The Coolidge Effect and why novelty drives addictive escalation Pornography as counterfeit intimacy — pursuing "happiness" (pleasure, novelty) vs. "joy" (innate, God-given identity) Why leading with shame backfires ("if you lead with shame, they will stay the same") and how to instead make it "you and your child vs. the problem" Practical first steps for parents: transparency, framing curiosity about sex as normal, and having the conversation early Guest Bio: Chris Rogers is a Certified Pornography Addiction Recovery Coach and founder of the Rebooted Teen Program (and its companion Rebooted Teen Parent Program). A former NYC music teacher, Chris draws on both professional training and personal recovery experience to help teens and adults build healthy, values-based relationships with themselves — and helps parents open honest, shame-free conversations with their kids.

  Why You're Still Exhausted (Even Though You're Doing Everything Right) | Dr. Ginger Sharp

  Aug 7, 202650 minS4

  Dr. Ginger Sharp — chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and homeschool mom — shares her personal collapse into chronic illness (Lyme disease, mold, parasites, heavy metals) after having her two daughters, and how isolation, pride, and the belief that her value came from her output nearly broke her. She unpacks the physiology of fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-digest, why safety is the first step in healing, and how God met her in her darkest, most depleted moments with the simple truth: "you are enough." Ginger and her husband Dr. Josh now run a functional medicine practice helping women find clarity and order instead of overwhelm — including a new blood panel that maps root causes instead of just symptoms. Key Talking Points Chiropractor to bedridden: Ginger's health decline after having her second daughter — brain fog, insomnia, needing the wall to stand The isolation trap: hiding her illness from family and friends while still working, mothering, and running a business "You are enough" — the turning point rooted in Psalm 139:14 Fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-digest, explained simply — and why healing can't happen in chronic hypervigilance Why her husband Josh's patience (not fixing) helped her heal Pride and hypocrisy: why it's hardest for healers/helpers to admit they're struggling Practical signals of "unsafe" — clenched jaw, shallow breath, white knuckles — and how to check in with your body Hidden health costs of chronic hypervigilance: toxin buildup, weakened gut/liver/lymphatic terrain, and how it feeds disease long-term The new NVX Plus Panel — a functional medicine blood test looking at cellular-level toxins, infections, and metabolic markers Reframing quality of life vs. quantity of life through faith Resources & Links Free health assessment quiz: http://DiscoverHealthquiz.com Free training (blood panel breakdown): https://events.discoverhealthfm.com/registration-page Website: http://DiscoverHealthFM.com Dr. Josh's podcast: Discover Health Podcast with Dr. Josh - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/discover-health-podcast/id1794162942 Free Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.

  "My Daughter Was Fighting for Her Life — Here's Where My Trust Went" | Sheila Krygsheld

  Jul 31, 202646 minS4

  In this episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Sheila Rae Krygsheld — Bible teacher, apologist, and author of What Makes You Say That? How to Study What You Believe So You Can Share It With Others. Sheila opens up about the hardest-won season of her faith: her 17-year-old daughter's traumatic brain injury and the years-long journey through doubt, survivor's guilt, and spiritual exhaustion that followed. She shares candidly on trusting God in the vulnerable, "nothing left" moments, why doubt isn't the opposite of faith but part of it, and how studying Scripture became the anchor that rebuilt her identity in Christ. A raw, theologically grounded conversation on trust, doubt, and the character of God for anyone walking through their own hard season. Key Talking Points The origin story — how a viral moment of online division sparked Sheila's mission to help Christians know what they believe and why The crisis that started it all — her daughter's traumatic brain injury, coma, and recovery, and the "goodness tank" comment from a doctor that sent her into a theological spiral Survivor's guilt — wrestling with why her daughter lived when a close friend's daughter didn't "Believe your beliefs, doubt your doubts" — Sheila's framework for handling doubt without losing faith Doubt as mandate, not option — why every believer will wrestle, and how to do it without shame The prostrate-on-the-floor moments — total surrender and vulnerability as the doorway to trust Not anger, but exhaustion — Sheila's honest take on what actually happens when she can't "pick up the book" The Psalms as permission — reading David's raw, unfiltered prayers back to God The character of God — filtering hard circumstances through Philippians 4:8 Building a prayer tribe — the practical role of intercessory community in walking through crisis Resources & Links Book: What Makes You Say That?

  Trusting God When You Can't Fix the Ones You Love — Moriah Hagel

  Jul 23, 202656 minS4

  Episode Description In this episode of Faith Over Addiction, host Tanya Gioia sits down with Moriah Hagel — author of First and Forever: Singleness in Ephesians, Alignment: God's Will or Mine, and To Live: Finding the Mind of Christ, and co-founder of the Seasons Young Adult Conference. Moriah shares her personal journey of anchoring her identity in Christ through college, a fractured Bible study, family upheaval, and years of watching loved ones struggle with paths she couldn't control. She opens up about the difference between having an identity rooted in doing things for God versus one rooted in knowing Him, and how surrender, trust, and humility — not control — are what carry us through the hardest seasons, including walking alongside people we love who are hurting themselves. Key Talking Points Finding identity in Christ, not in what we do for Him — Moriah's "secret identity" concept: mistaking service/ministry roles for identity itself Letting go of trying to fix or control others — the James study (Alignment) and learning "you worry about you, I'll worry about them" Man's anger doesn't produce God's righteousness — practical wrestling with wisdom, yielding, and staying pure/peaceable even when you're right The Book of Job reframe — trials pass through God's "merciful fingers" first, offering peace in suffering we don't understand Trust as a repeated theme — walking through singleness, watching sisters marry, and the loss of a nephew, learning "sufficient is today's trials for today" (daily manna) How to apologize without abandoning truth — separating being right from causing pain, and when to stay silent instead Resources & Links Mentioned Hagel Books - https://hagelbooks.com/ Weekly blog (Thursdays) and YouTube encouragements (Mondays, 7am) - https://www.youtube.com/@hagelbooks Seasons Young Adult Conference (co-founded by Moriah) - https://hagelbooks.com/events/ Free Gfit : Get this free list of Christian affirmations that spell out who you are in God – actual in God’s own words.
