Addiction affect every aspect of a persons life. So we decided to bring the wives of the former addicts in our last 2 episodes (Episode 17-18) and see a different perspective on how they were impacted by it. Ryan Stertzbach (Host), Mike Devine, Danae Curl, Jennifer Lane.
Questions
1. We have heard from your husbands, tell us a little about your side of the story.
2. Did you ever feel like any of it was your fault; or like you weren’t enough?
3. How often did you make excuses for their behavior?
4. Why did you stay?
5. Did you see adverse effects on your children?
6. How did you cope with all of the uncertainty?
7. What has changed in your family since the recovery part started?

Addiction can take many forms, some in sex and others with drugs. Today is Part 2 of a two part episode special where we talk to 2 guys as they tell us their testimony of recovering from drug addiction. Ryan Stertzbach (Host), Pastor Mike, Derek Curl, and Brain Lane.
Questions for Today:
5. In your opinion, are some more susceptible to addiction?

7. What’s different now versus then?
Addiction can take many forms, some in sex and others with drugs. Today is Part 1 of a two part episode special where we talk to 2 guys as they tell us their testimony. Ryan Stertzbach (Host), Pastor Mike, Derek Curl, and Brain Lane.

2. When did you realize you were addicted?
3. Why did it start?
4. Who got hurt the most?
Part 2 of our discussion on where we have failed as a church in connecting with college students! But all hope isn't lost! We also discuss some strong solutions to this problem and was we can stay connected as a church!
Questions for today:
1. Some believe that there is an agenda within the college community to change the ideology of this group. Do we believe this to be true?
2. How can we change? What can we do differently moving forward?
3. How do we assist the kids/parents in this process?
The idea of what they labeled “The Broken Pipeline.” What they were describing was the pipeline that is the church that ministers well to children, youth, and adults; but loses its focus when it comes to college aged kids. In other words, we lose a ton of kids from the church when they leave to go to college. While many of them come back some time in adulthood, many never do. We have a broken pipeline and the church doesn’t do a very good job addressing this issue.
Questions:
1. Who is responsible for checking on this group (the 18-24 year olds)?
2. What role does the church have?
3. What role does mom and dad have?
4. What role does the young person have?
Comparison is the thief of joy, happiness and so much more. Join our host and guest speakers how to combat comparison and not to fall into that comparison trap we all fall into sometime!
Questions For Today
1.Why is it dangerous to compare ourselves with others?
2.Do you ever feel like you’re just enough and in what areas do you feel like you struggle the most in this?
3.How do you combat your feelings with the truthof God’s Word?
4.IF you could leave our audience with One tip of advice or One verse to help them stop the comparison trap in their own lives, what would it be?

- Can I choose the parts I like and use them for me?
Today we are asking the question does God really speak to us as his kids? What are your thoughts?
- Does God really speak to humans?
- Does He still speak in our day?

- How can I be sure it’s not me, what I ate, or me wanting my own desires?
- What is the best way to check my own heart so I know if I’m making it up?
Ref: Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with my eye.
