Neurofeedback Can Heal ADHD, Anxiety and More Without Meds

Neurofeedback helped our family heal ADHD, anxiety, rage, and trauma without medication. In this episode we sit down with licensed therapist Jillian Wendelin to break down what neurofeedback actually is, how it works, and why it transformed our marriage and our kids. Our family came to neurofeedback looking for a non-medical alternative for our son. What we found changed everything. Malia healed from years of noise sensitivity and daily fight-or-flight as a mom of four. Jason broke through decades of emotional avoidance. Our marriage shifted in ways five years of counseling never produced. And we did it without putting our kids on medication or under a lifelong label. In this conversation we cover what neurofeedback is and how it works, the difference between low energy neurofeedback and traditional neurofeedback, what to actually expect from a session, why it helps ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, body pain, sleep issues, migraines, and rage, how it pairs with EMDR and traditional therapy, the “garden and tree” framework for understanding the adjustment period, why this is not woo woo and how to think about it from a Christian worldview, the trickle-down effect on kids when parents become regulated, and why we believe every family should consider this before defaulting to medication. Jillian is the co-founder of Integrative Wellness Clinic of Nevada and has been a licensed therapist for 15 years. She is one of the most trusted voices we know on this topic and the reason we tell every family we meet about neurofeedback.

EDC Missionary and the Raver Who Found Jesus

Philip Renner is a missionary and worship leader who walks into the world's darkest festivals, including EDC in Las Vegas, to preach the gospel. In this conversation he tells Jason and Malia Smylie what he actually sees when he steps onto that ground, the night God told him one word that changed everything, and how he leads total strangers to Jesus in the last place anyone would expect. He also gets honest about the part of his life that does not make the highlight reel. What it costs to be gone, why he refuses to be an absentee father, and the simple thing he and his wife do with their kids every single night to keep their own home anchored while he carries this calling. Jason opens up about his own years in the rave scene and what he realized the last time he stood at EDC. It turned into one of the most unexpected conversations we have had in our home.

Pastors Are Now Talking About UFOs, Aliens & AI

The government just released undisclosed UFO files. Pastors are being privately briefed about what's coming. And AI is quietly becoming the new false "Holy Spirit" for millions of people. In this episode, Malia interviews Jason, a former atheist who spent decades exploring Eastern religions, new-age spirituality, and transhumanism before finding Jesus, on how Christians can navigate UFOs, AI, and the spiritual realm with discernment instead of fear.                        This isn't a fear-based take. It's not a UFO-hype take either. It's a conversation about how we anchor ourselves (and our kids) in Christ when the world is getting louder, weirder, and harder to ignore. We talk about:                                                                          • What this week's UFO disclosure actually means for Christians • Why AI is becoming a counterfeit source of wisdom, and what to do about it • The "forking of humanity" and the red line Jason refuses to cross                                                • How to raise kids who can discern truth in an AI-shaped world                                                  • Why signs and wonders without Jesus always lead somewhere dark                                                 • Where to find peace when the noise won't stop                                                                                   If you've ever felt embarrassed to ask whether UFOs are real, whether AI is dangerous, or how any of this fits into your faith, this one's for you.       CHAPTERS                                                                             00:00 – Introduction: The world is getting louder 03:37 – Jason’s Journey: Seeking transcendence before Jesus 06:23 – Why Christians should care about UFO disclosure 11:25 – Explaining AI in layman’s terms: What is it really? 16:45 – The "Forking of Humanity" and simulated realities 19:50 – Technology vs. the hope of the Gospel 21:13 – AI as a counterfeit source of wisdom and spiritual authority 24:28 – Do extraterrestrials fit into the Christian worldview? 29:20 – Spiritual warfare and the principalities of darkness 37:10 – Parenting: How to protect and guide your children 48:40 – Transhumanism: The promise of living forever vs. Eternal Life 56:15 – Final thoughts: Staying grounded in Jesus                                                                                    🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on bringing God to the center of your home.                                           👍 If this resonated, like the video, it helps other Christians find us.                                              💬 Drop a comment: what's the hardest part of staying grounded in a noisy world?                                                                                                                            CONNECT WITH US                                                                           Instagram: @ourhouse.faith  "As for our house, we will serve the Lord."      #OurHousePodcast #ChristianPodcast #UFOs #UAPDisclosure #AI #Christianity #Faith #Discernment #ChristianParenting #SpiritualWarfare #EndTimes #Jesus

Youth Pastor's 2 Questions Tell You If You're In God's Will

Most Christians live with quiet anxiety about whether they're in God's will. In this episode of the Our House Podcast, Jason and Malia Smylie sit down with Daniel Knapp, a pastor's kid and Christian youth teacher, who shares the two simple questions that diagnose whether you're walking in the will of God right now. The conversation unpacks a key reframe: scripture talks about God's will as character transformation and sanctification, but most Christians are anxiously asking about jobs, relationships, and timing. Daniel's two questions bridge that gap and replace anxiety with peace. The two questions Daniel walks through: 1.⁠ ⁠Am I genuinely pursuing Jesus? 2.⁠ ⁠Am I actively walking in disobedience anywhere? If both answers are honest, you've found your answer about God's will for your life. In this episode Jason, Malia, and Daniel discuss: 00:00 — Introduction: Meeting Daniel Knapp in the Dominican Republic 01:27 — Career vs. Calling: Daniel’s transition from business to ministry 04:40 — How to know if you are living in God’s will 12:15 — The importance of surrendering your plans to the Lord 26:08 — Understanding the two types of disobedience 29:30 — How to discern the voice of God vs. your own desires 41:10 — The impact of being raised in a ministry home (PK life) 53:55 — Encouragement for parents dealing with a rebellious child 56:20 — The power of prayer and faithful stewardship in the home 1:00:41 — Closing thoughts and how to support the podcast This conversation is for any Christian who has ever wondered if they are on the right path, any parent navigating faith with their kids, and any believer who wants a simpler, more biblical way to discern God's will without the anxiety. Daniel Knapp is a pastor's kid, Christian youth teacher at Cavalry Chapel in Las Vegas. He and his wife Zoe are expecting their first daughter, Eden.

Why You Keep Having The Same Fight (Attachment Styles)

Why do you keep having the same fight in your marriage? It might be your attachment style. And it’s quietly running your home. In this episode of Our House with the Smylies, we sit down and talk through attachment theory, the four attachment styles, and how the way you were cared for as a kid is shaping the way you love your spouse and parent your kids today. We get personal about the wounds we both walked into our marriage carrying, why anxious and avoidant partners are magnetized to each other, and how that magnet can quietly turn into a trap. We also talk about a fight we had recently and what it taught us about how stress pulls us right back into our oldest patterns. If you’ve ever felt abandoned every time your husband shuts down, or suffocated every time your wife pushes for resolution, this one’s for you. We close with what actually heals it. Earned secure attachment, the truth God speaks over our identity, and how understanding our own attachment styles changed the way we’re parenting our boys.
