Jerry and special guest host Katina Stith of TrueIdentity.Life discuss two simple steps on finding your purpose in God with Kris Reece, host of the Building Faith Podcast.

Stacey Simms once proclaimed herself the "worst diabetes mom" is parenting a child with Type-1 Diabetes and building a community of awareness. Parenting a Child with Type-1 Diabetes Parenting brings a certain amount of unsolicited advice. We never seem to be doing it good enough. Someone will always feel he or she has a better way, and you must hear about it. Add to that the challenge of parenting a child with type-1 diabetes, and you an extra layer of judgment coming in the form of advice. There may be a pressure of needing to be the perfect parent. We are all human. Perfection is not an option, especially when it comes to parenting a child with Type-1 diabetes. Modern technology loves to show us the highlight reels of someone's life, a life we do not have ourselves. It's easy to feel like a failure. Long-time podcast host, speaker, and author, Stacey Simms, shares with us how mistakes became her superpower. These lessons have been compiled into her book, The World's Worst Diabetes Mom. Who is Stacey Simms Author, podcaster, and parent, Stacey Simms applied her experience from a career in broadcasting to build a community of parents and experts dealing with type-1 diabetes. Just before her son turned two-years-old in 2006, Stacey’s son was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes (T1D). As the family of four settled into their new way of life, Stacey began doing what she does best, writing about her experience. Since the beginning, her diabetes philosophy has been: not perfect, but safe and happy. That mantra was fine until someone on Facebook told her she was an awful parent. What is Diabetes Connections? Diabetes Connections is the T1D news show you’ve been waiting for! Long-time broadcaster, blogger, and diabetes mom Stacey Simms interviews prominent advocates, authors, and speakers. Stacey asks hard questions of healthcare companies and tech developers and brings on “everyday” people living with type 1 diabetes. Great for parents of T1D kids, adults with type 1, and anyone who loves a person with diabetes. Go to BeyondTheRut.com/capsho for your free 14-day trial and see for yourself.

Improv coach and credentialed minister, Dave Ebert, discusses the benefits of improv in his life and as a ministry to others. See the full show notes at BeyondTheRut.com/250 Improv and Mental Health “Laughter is the tangible evidence of hope.” - Michael Junior, Christian comedian Improvisation is the form of comedy where you make up your lines on the fly. Having done this a few times through corporate training events, I can say with confidence there is a sense of liberation when it comes to embracing improv. It forces you to get out of your comfort zone and connect with both yourself and others. The benefits of improv carry over into mental health. Studies show there is a significant improvement in one’s sense of connection and well-being. Social anxiety disorder, for example, has a prevalence in the United States around 12%, and improvisation has shown that improv and mental health are a great combination in reducing the effects of social anxiety disorder according to the Journal of Creativity and Mental Health. The benefits of improv come from its elements of connection in group cohesiveness, play, exposure, and within the safety net of humor. Humor is known for increasing certain endorphins in our brains to make us feel happier as well. Improv coach, minister, podcaster, and former professional wrestler, Dave Ebert, will take us through the concepts of improv therapy for his life as well as the impact it has on others today through his platform Gifts4Glory and his improv troop known as Well Versed Comedy. About Dave Ebert Dave is the founder of Gifts for Glory Ministries, as well as the founder of both Well Versed Comedy and PureFest. Dave moved to Chicago to pursue a life and career in ministry to use his gifts for God's glory. Whether it be making people laugh during an improv show, moving the audience with a dramatic role, preaching the Word of God from the pulpit, or inspiring a crowd from the podium, Dave is right at home in front of a crowd. His testimony about how God delivered him from depression and suicidal ideations through the benefits of improv has helped many people find healing and hope for the last 8 years. Dave and his wife, Bobbie, have been married since 2015 and reside in the southwest Chicago suburbs with their three cats. They attend and are active in Thrive Church, Lockport, Ill.

Michael Diettrich-Chastain, executive coach and founder of Arc Integrated, discusses 3 hacks to help you master change at work drawing from his experience and knowledge in psychotherapy. Your Response to Change Change is constant, and change can be traumatic for people. Resistance to it often comes from a sense of loss, fear of the unknown, and adhering to our comfort zones. There is a physiological reaction to the stresses that come with change and crisis. If left unchecked, those reactions can lead us to oblivion with damaged work relationships, ruined trust, and diminished results. Knowing how we react to stress helps us slow down and respond to it with leadership expertise. The end result is increased trust, more buy-in, and thriving results through change. You’ll hear about Michael’s background in psychotherapy and how he has applied it to leadership development, team building, and change management. We will cover the “Three R’s” from Diettrich-Chastain’s book Changes on how to respond to change rather than react to it. In other words, how to become a master over change rather than a victim of it. Who is Michael Diettrich-Chastain? Michael Diettrich Chastain LPC, is an author, speaker, professional coach, and consultant dedicated to peak performance. As a leadership coach, Michael has helped organizational leaders and teams become more effective on how to respond to change. Skills include recognizing when and how to inspire others to embrace change through a sense of ownership. Michael has facilitated training events internationally on leadership, team building, communication, emotional intelligence, employee engagement, self-care, and other topics. Fun Fact: Michael has studied eastern martial arts for more than a decade, and often incorporates philosophies from his experience helping others learn to respond rather than react when facing change and crisis.

Matt Manney shares how his newest book, Momentum, can help you find your calling in life and ministry. Find Your Calling If you’re asking yourself how to find your true calling, this is the episode for you! Some of us may have found our calling early in life. That is what happened to Matt Manney at thirteen years old after a major change happened in his family. The response of positive male role models in his church inspired him to pursue a life in ministry as a pastor. There was just one problem. Along the way, he seemed to have lost his way. There was a struggle with why he was doing the work of ministry and began to wonder if he was in the right place for the right reasons. A series of humbling experiences helped him reshape his why, and his how, and continues his work as a pastor with new passion and focus. Matt’s books and podcast are designed to help you discover how to know your calling in ministry. What does it mean to work in ministry? Does ministry mean working on a church staff only? About Matt Manney Matt Manney is a husband, dad to three awesome kids, a pastor, writer, blogger, podcaster, reader, and dreamer. His blog and podcast are for those who want to align their purpose, personality, private life, and profession. Whether you’re looking to reach your potential, find your calling, or simply make your difference in your little patch of ground you call home, his platform will help you do just that. When we feel we are stuck in a rut, there is a gap between who we are today and where we want to be. There may be a misalignment between what we are doing now and that gut feeling you are meant for more. Matt’s message is about how to find your calling, clarify it, and then pursue it. Funny thing is that’s what we are about at Beyond the Rut as well, which is why we have him on the show this episode. Master that space between your private and public life. Let Matt’s message take what is and make it into what can be so you can live out who you are through what you do as you find your true calling.

Debt-Free Lifestyle What is it like to be debt-free? Nothing can keep us from our financial goals like consumer debt. The idea of having what you want now and paying for it later with interest binds you in a way that prevents you from putting money aside for that next vacation or towards your retirement investing.

They learned how to become wealthy by learning how to become debt-free. This episode explores how Michael and Taylor went about the following steps: Stating their values Creating their goals - financially and otherwise Implemented a plan to pay off all their $61,000 of consumer debt in 16 months Saved six months’ of expenses to prevent a backslide from using credit again Invest for financial security They now live a debt-free lifestyle, only leveraging credit cards for something called “travel hacking”. More than half of their income goes into investments making their money work for them. About Michael Lacy Michael and his wife, Taylor, are just your everyday millennial couple raising their daughter, Alison, deep in the heart of Texas. While on their honeymoon, Michael had the stark realization they were starting their marriage with over $61,000 in consumer debt. They were broke and on a path for worse. It’s commonly said that most arguments in marriage are about money. Well, Michael and Taylor had a money fight on their honeymoon! They worked together, and made a decision to become debt-free, and paid off that debt in debt in only 16 months!

Dan Hinz from Adulting with Money is back to discuss mastering money issues in marriage during the COVID-19 pandemic. “If you don’t know where you are going, every detour is going to be really difficult.” - Brandon Cunningham Money Issues in Marriage During COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic did more than create panic, take lives, and put people in hospitals. It took its toll on families financially. Fear and hoarding impacted available goods in stores, and the prices of some essential items may have risen. Rather than going into a crowded store, many people opted for delivery services which also increased the costs of groceries. Electric bills may have been higher than usual as people worked from home and children completed the school year online from home as well. Many people found themselves with reduced hours, reduced pay, or worse. They could have been furloughed or ultimately laid off from their jobs. Pew Research published in September 2020 that roughly 15% of Americans reported they were laid off from work. Another 15% stated they found new work during the pandemic (Pew Research, 2020). This may have left you crying out, “The financial stress is killing my marriage!” There is hope, and some practical tips to help you get through the current pandemic, or prepare for the next emergency that arises. How to Deal with Money Issues Our episode this week discusses mastering money issues in marriage by master three practices as a married couple. Set clear goals using real numbers - Do you have a Top 10 priorities list financially? Track your money using an app, spreadsheet, or pad of paper Use monthly budgeting and budget conversations to get you to the “next step” of your financial goals. When it comes to money and relationships, conversations around money are not a one-and-done type of deal. You will need to have regular conversations remembering that you and your spouse are on the same team. The object is not to beat the other at a game, but to come to an agreement where both of you are happy with the decision. These conversations will take practice and patient to master, so start today and keep at it. Financial struggles can be overcome by applying these additional tips discussed in this week’s episode as well: Create and maintain an emergency fund Have two types of meetings on your budget: brainstorming and decision-making Remind yourself “it will be okay”. Your net worth is not what defines your self worth. If you found yourself w Go to BeyondTheRut.com/capsho for your free 14-day trial and see for yourself.

Podcaster Meg Glesener of Letters from Home shares her insights on 31 years of a happy, healthy marriage. About Meg Glesener from Letters from Home Podcast Meg is a mother of eight children living in the state of Washington where she is married to her husband, Mike. Their 31 years of marriage can be chalked up as happy years. They have had their ups and downs as anyone else does, but they have also held firm to some guidelines or principles that have kept them going strong all these years. If you think raising one or two children is challenging, Mike and Meg took on eight and without the backing of a TLC television show! Here is the thing that blew our minds on the Beyond the Rut team. We recorded our interview with Meg right after we recorded the 4-part marriage series. Meg was not aware of these episodes, nor their content. So many parts of her story echoed the tips we shared in those four episodes! At the end of our time, she humbly shared that she just hoped her message would help someone else out there. We simply replied, “You have no idea!” We hope you enjoy this episode about healthy marriages. Know that marriage is not a sprint, it’s not simply a wedding day. Think of it as a journey. Marriage is a life-long commitment to each other, and your marriage can leave a legacy that is greater than yourselves.

What you speak over your spouse matters. It's what gets you through the valleys, struggles, and plateaus of your marriage relationship. You may be familiar with the old adage, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." It was often the advice given to console those who were bullied through taunting, brought to the edge, or past the edge, of anger. Hip Hop Harry probably had it right though, "Words have power! Words have power!" They really do. Throughout history, words have been used to garner excitement, encourage those who are hurting, inspire, and even rally hate. If you are married, chances are words were spoken at a ceremony in the form of vows. Words probably even led up to you connecting with your spouse for that first date, the second, and even the proposal if we go far enough back in time. Words got you into your marriage. Words will either make or break your marriage going forward. This episode will take the time to explore how your words have an impact on your spouse, how to assess the words you are speaking over your spouse, and considerations to make a change going forward.

Bill Hutcheson shares his experiences in marriage and ministry to show us how our marriages based on selfless love can drive purpose and passion. About William “Bill” Hutcheson We each have a selfless love story within us and within our own marriages. Bill Hutcheson combines his experiences working in ministry and counseling couples to help us get out of the insanity phase of marriage into a thriving relationship built on selfless love that drives both passion and purpose. Bill Hutcheson knew as a young teen that he would serve. In early college days, he dreamt of being a psychiatrist or a clinical counselor. Mid-sophomore year, he began to wrestle with a call to ministry and assumed he would become a Christian counselor. After graduation, he entered seminary to pursue that passion. His thirty-eight years of ministry to three congregations were marked by a love of preaching/teaching and an emphasis on helping couples strengthen their marriages. His initial counseling interests led to the development of an effective and unique process for pre-marriage preparation. Instead of the typical thirty to sixty minutes of preparation from the pastor, Bill worked six to ten hours face-to-face with each couple. The couples also spent a couple of fun hours doing homework. His emphasis on the marriage, not the wedding, translated to equipping each couple with tools for the marriage road less traveled. Those tools were meant to help the couple build and repair the marriage according to God's plan. Through unconditional love, happiness and purpose are both possible. We learn through this episode how it is real purpose in and through our marriage that will beget happiness. Happiness in itself is not enough. In retirement, Bill coaches couples, leads retreats for couple groups, and speaks to congregations who desire happiness in marriage and seek to understand and adopt God's intention for marriage. Bill, his bride of forty plus years, Mary Beth, and Myrtle, their "Chiweenie" (a Chihuahua/dachshund mix) live in the beautiful Appalachian foothills of Dahlonega, Georgia. Their two daughters and sons-in-law have given them three terrific grandchildren.

Natalie Hixson is a wife and mom. She is an author and Certified Professional Life Coach. Her mission and passion is helping discouraged and burnt-out Christian moms overcome destructive anger so they enjoy being a wife and mom. Natalie, her husband Mike, and their three daughters live in beautiful Bozeman, Montana. Destructive Anger Destructive anger, within the context of a marriage, refers to intense and harmful emotional reactions that can adversely affect the relationship. This type of anger often leads to hurtful behaviors, breakdowns in communication, and long-lasting damage to the emotional connection between partners. Recognizing and addressing destructive anger involves understanding its underlying causes, learning healthy communication strategies, and developing emotional regulation skills. By actively working to manage destructive anger, couples can create a more harmonious and supportive marital environment, fostering understanding, empathy, and a stronger bond between partners. Natalie Hixson Natalie Hixson is a mom who wanted to love her children more but found herself unable to manage her destructive anger. She found herself at a loss, embarrassed, and putting a strain on her husband and children for the outbursts and tantrums she expressed. On the outside, all the boxes were checked for a "good Christian woman". The reality was a nightmare, and she knew something needed to change for everyone in her family. The mother of three children and wife to Mike put in the work needed to address her anger, heal, and restore her family. Today, she helps other women find the same healing to put an end to their cycles of destructive anger using Biblical principles and coaching. This interview is about self-discovery, unconditional love, and the importance of taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of those we love most.
