3 Ways to Respond

3 Ways to Respond

In this episode, Shiree explores a powerful framework inspired by Bryce Dunford that can transform the way we navigate relationships, especially with loved ones who have left the faith. What if "telestial," "terrestrial," and "celestial" describe more than where we end up someday? What if they also describe how we respond to people right now? A telestial response focuses on self-protection. A terrestrial response focuses on fairness. A celestial response focuses on love and asks, "What would Christ do?" Through practical examples and real-life family situations, you'll learn how to recognize your own responses, give yourself grace for where you are, and take the next step toward thinking more celestial. If you're struggling with hurt, conflict, or faith differences in your family, this episode offers a hopeful path forward—one rooted in Christlike love rather than guilt, fear, or retaliation. You'll learn: • The difference between telestial, terrestrial, and celestial responses • How these patterns show up in family relationships • What it means to "think celestial" in difficult situations • How to move forward with greater peace, grace, and love Link [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1QGE6W8tUA] to Bryce Dunford's Talking Scripture episode.

Questioning Everything - With Tucker Boyle

What happens when someone deeply rooted in faith begins to question everything they once believed?

Cleaning Out

What if healing begins by clearing out the “dusty rooms” of our minds? In this interactive episode, Shiree shares a simple three-step exercise to help you identify painful memories, recognize your good intentions, receive God’s forgiveness, and extend grace to yourself. As we release shame and self-judgment, we create more space for God’s peace, guidance, and love—allowing us to show up more compassionately in relationships, especially with loved ones who have made different religious choices than we would have wished. This practical episode offers a path to greater self-forgiveness, emotional healing, and deeper Christlike connection.

Your Feelings Matter Too - With Alysia Humphries

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with life coach and light therapist Alysia Humphries to talk about something many parents and loved ones quietly carry: tying our sense of peace and worth to how someone else is doing. Alysia gently shares why making our emotional well-being dependent on another person can unintentionally place a heavy burden on the relationship. We discuss the importance of remembering that we are not anyone else’s savior—that role belongs to Jesus Christ—and why our healing matters too. This conversation is a tender reminder that caring for ourselves is not selfish. There is a difference between being self-centered and honoring our own needs, emotions, and stewardship. God cares deeply not only about our loved ones, but about us as well. If you’ve been exhausted from carrying the weight of someone else’s choices or struggles, this episode offers wisdom, hope, and permission to begin healing yourself too.

Your Story Isn't Over

In this deeply personal episode, I share pieces of my family’s journey navigating faith differences, heartbreak, strained relationships, and the fear that things may never heal. Like many parents, my husband and I raised our children with love, faith, values, and the hope that they would embrace the beliefs that meant so much to us. Over time, many of our children chose very different paths. Some stepped away quietly. Others left dramatically. Some relationships became painful, distant, or deeply complicated. But this episode is not ultimately about loss. It is about hope. It is about learning that relationships can heal even when beliefs differ. That hearts can soften over time. That love can grow deeper when judgment fades. And that God’s love for our children never changes.
