S4E11 Hannah Cook-Kelley from Freedom Psychological Center

S4E12 Vicki Diemert End of Season Interview

Vicki, Mark, Robbin, and Gina get together to recap this season of Talking To Humans and highlight various points that stuck out to them.

S4E11 Hannah Cook-Kelley from Freedom Psychological Center

What if healing isn’t about trying harder but about going deeper? In this episode, Vicki Diemert and guest host Gina Mendez talk with Hannah Cook-Kelly from Freedom Psychological Center about the slow, sacred work of healing sexual addiction and the trauma behind it. They explore denial, pride, and why real change takes years not quick fixes. They also highlight today’s reality: pornography is widely accessible, often at a young age, making it crucial for parents to have honest conversations about sexuality. True healing means addressing your own sexual history and breaking cycles of silence and shame. You’re not alone, there is real help, and you don’t have to do this work by yourself. https://www.freedompsychcenter.com [https://www.freedompsychcenter.com]

S4E9 Joe Leavell Biblical Counseling of Arizona

What if the thing you’re most desperate for right now isn’t better advice, more discipline, or even relief but to truly be seen and wanted? In this epidsode Vicki Diemert and guest host Mark Andress talk with Joe Leavell, Director and Counselor of Biblical Counseling of Arizona (BCA).  So many people look put-together on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, shame, broken relationships, or the fear that they’re too far gone to matter. This episode explores how Christian counseling reaches deeper than behavior or coping skills by addressing the root of who we are body and soul through the lens of a God who genuinely cares about our mental and emotional health. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” the conversation shifts to, “What does God want, what do I want, and what am I settling for?” The gospel offers a different story: that God doesn’t want less from you He wants you and that truth brings freedom, security, and hope even in the hardest places of life.                      https://www.biblicalcounselingaz.org/ [https://www.biblicalcounselingaz.org/]

S4E8 Gini Larsen from Biblical Hope Counseling

What happens when faith meets real-life pain—and people are brave enough to talk about it? In this episode, Vicki Diemert and guest host Mark Andress sit down with Gini Larsen, Owner and Director of Biblical Hope Counseling, for a heartfelt conversation about biblical counseling and why authentic, human connection matters more than ever in a digital age. Gini shares how creating safe, nonjudgmental spaces rooted in Scripture helps people navigate church hurt, family conflict, betrayal, and emotional struggles while drawing closer to God for peace and direction. The discussion also challenges our culture’s growing reliance on online diagnoses and AI, reminding us that true healing happens in relationship, community, and presence.                                                                                                                http://www.biblicalhopecounseling.org/counselors.html [http://www.biblicalhopecounseling.org/counselors.html]
