As we continue our "The Word Speaks" series, Susan is joined in the studio by Brand Franklin, executive director of Fresh Roots Family Counseling, to talk about his two favorite scriptures - Psalm 34:18 & John 6:67-69 - and how they remind him that GOD KNOWS.
Psalm 139:12 (NASB) says, " -but even in the darkness I cannot hide from you. To you, the night shines as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you."
When we feel alone in our darkest moments, it can be easy to forget that God is with you always, that He made you perfect and special — right down to the very thoughts you think.
This week on our "The Word Speaks" series, Jenn Jett is back with Susan to dig into their shared favorite scripture - Psalm 139.
"Rejoice Always..."
That's much easier said than done.
This week on our "The Word Speaks" series, Susan is joined by her husband, Dr. Steve Goss, to discuss his favorite scripture, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, and how the three steps outlined - Rejoice Always. Pray Continually. Give Thanks. - has shaped his daily life.
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." - Exodus 14:14
What battle are you waging today? The exhaustion of fighting is one that every human being has known at some point in their lives, but what if I told you that you aren't fighting alone?
The Lord is there with you, and He wants you to hand over the sword...and BE STILL.
Today, Susan is joined in the studio by Jenn Jett (Barrett) to discuss how the Holy Spirit brought this scripture to her precisely when she needed it.
Jenn is the Founder of The Well Summit & Camp Well, which seeks to restore us to God's original intent by being in UNION with Jesus, UNITY with others, and living UNLEASHED for the kingdom of God.

September has five Tuesdays, so make sure to stay tuned all month for this thought-provoking and encouraging series.
The beginning of Hebrews 4:12 says "...the world of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword..."
And as it is living and breathing through our lives, certain scriptures leave indelible marks on our story because they have given us strength, guidance, peace, and so many other valuable moments.
For September, Susan and Friends will be sharing not only their favorite scriptures, but also the story behind how God used it in their life.

Welcome to the Summer 2025 "Best of Series," where we replay our most popular episodes of the year so far.
Whether you are relistening or hearing them for the first time, we pray that you are blessed, encouraged, and challenged.
So sit back and enjoy; we'll see you back in August for all-new episodes.
Today's episode is part of one of our Pornography Series with Ted Shimer and Hunter House.
Founder of Self Ctrl, Ian McCready, returns for Part 2 of his talk with Susan, discussing the addictiveness of technology.
While this is our Father's Day special, Ian and Susan delve into questions that are for fathers and anyone who partakes in technology, such as:
1) Is this game healthy for me and my family?
2) What does self-control look like for me?
3) Does this technology leave room for God in my life? Does it leave room for healthy relationships with others?
If you or someone you know is struggling with video game addictions, here is a link to Self-Ctrl's listing of counselors who specialize in video game addictions: Video Game Addiction Therapy Specialists

Did you know that the first commercially available home video game was "Pong," released in 1972?
Since then, access to video games has increased exponentially over the last 50+ years, with the rise accelerating further with the introduction of mobile games on our phones.
And yes...they can be fun, challenging, and stimulating, but at what cost?
All this month, Susan is joined by Ian McCready, the founder of Self-Ctrl, a Northwest Arkansas Non-profit that has taken on the mission to expose the traumatic and addictive nature of video games and screen time and, as their mission statement says: To serve families and individuals by educating, equiping and empowering them to build self control around screen time and video gaming to redeem the time for good works.

Join Susan and Dr. Billy Jones for one more episode as they remind you that no matter your situation, whether mental or medical, there is hope.
In this week's episode, Susan and Dr. Billy Jones have an open dialogue about the misdiagnoses of mental health concerns when the truth is medical, and how our medical needs can be the side effect of our mental state.
Psychologist? Psychiatrist? Counselor? Therapist? MD?
The world of mental health can be confusing at times, so for Mental Health Awareness Month, Susan has invited Psychologist Dr Billy Jones to the podcast to answer some of the biggest questions therapists get from new and potential clients.
This week, they are starting at the beginning with "Who? What? Why?" - clarifying the differences between mental health professionals so you can connect with the right professional for your situation.
Mother's Day is just a few days away, and before we start this month's series next week, Susan spends today's podcast on an unconventional Mother's Day Message.
REWIND EPISODE!
Today, we are rewinding back to Season 1, Episode 1. The one that started it all.
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been discussing the importance of curiosity in our relationships. Why? Because if you aren't curious and ask questions, it can easily lead to DANGEROUS ASSUMPTIONS.
You can also read more about "Dangerous Assumptions" in Susan's Book "We're Still in This," available on the Tangible Truth Website: We're Still in This.
Last week, Susan and special guest Brad Franklin talked about the need to be curious in a relationship. During their conversation, Susan mentioned a podcast that she and former co-host, Keri Corn, did on being curious way back in season 1.
It has been one of our most talked-about and well-received episodes, so we wanted to share it with you again to offer a different perspective on the idea of "Being Curious."
To finish this six-part series, Susan and Brad discuss the phrase "be curious" and how it is important and ties into all of the other phrases discussed over the last five episodes.

For the next three episodes, Susan will be joined by Brad Franklin of Fresh Roots Family Counseling in Rogers, AR.
In today's episode, the phrase "What makes this make sense?" takes center stage.
Dr Ryan Rana is back for one last session to dig deep into the topic of comparison and what it means to be healthy so that your relationships can also be healthy.
Dr. Ryan Rana is back for part 2, where he and Susan untangle some of the most used quotes and concepts in therapy to help you better understand these amazing truths.

"...lean not on your own understanding..." (Proverbs 3:5b)
What does that mean? It means that we should always be open to learning, both from God and from those God has placed around us.
To end our 4 part series on "New Beginnings," Susan is joined once again by fellow podcast host, Jennifer Watson, to talk about WHY we should always have more to learn.
Vera Wang.
Martha Stewart.
Alan Rickman.
Julia Child.
Susan Goss.
What do all these people have in common?
They all made drastic career changes later in life and found great success in it.
What about you? Do you feel like God is calling you to do something different from your current circumstances, but the world is telling you that you are too old for change?
That is exactly what Susan and returning guest host Jennifer Watson are talking about today...with God...there is NO AGE BARRIER.
The worst part of a New Beginning is that it usually means that something has to end so that something new can begin.
How do you deal with that "starting over" part of New Beginnings?
WE'RE BACK!!

Welcome to Week 3 of our "2024 Summer Best Of" Series!
Today, we revisit Susan and her best friend, Angie, talking about the BIGGEST mission field we will ever see...our everyday life.
What does your day look like?
Who do you interact with?
How can God use you in those places with those people?
Our biggest mission field is the very world that we interact with on a daily basis and the people in it.
Susan and special guest, Angie Elrod, discuss what it looks like for them to find ministry opportunities in everyday parts of their lives.
Welcome to Week 2 of our 2024 "Best of" Series!
This week we start the look back at the three part series "Loving Others with the Love of Jesus."
"It's OK if you can't sense God's presence...He will send it to you in the flesh."
We are so honored to have Angie Elrod back in the studio today for an open and vulnerable conversation on how God showed up in her life when she felt abandoned in her grief and loss.
She and Susan dig into the trauma of multiple deaths in the family and divorce, so please feel free to skip this episode for now if it is not supportive of your current mental health.
Welcome to week 1 of our Best of 2024-Summer Edition!
We can't wait to relive the best episodes of The Tangible Truth Podcast from the first half of Season 4.
Have you ever asked God "What is my calling?" or "What is your will for my life?" and then just sat paralyzed in fear because you feel like you didn't hear from God or worried you heard wrong?
We have all gone through season like that, but...what if while we are waiting or figuring it out...we just try to find our purpose in our ordinary life?
This week Susan and her life-long best friend, Angie Elrod, about that those very ideas and how you can change how you see your regular...everyday...ordinary life.
Forgiveness is not an innate human ability. It takes time, patience, determination and A LOT of God.
To round out our time with Christy Rodriguez, she and Susan dive into:
We are so thankful that Christy spent the month of June with us.

What is a family?
It's defined as: a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether dwelling together or not; any group of people closely related by blood or marriage, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
But...what if that isn't what our family looks like? What if our family is different?
This week, TTM Assistant, Keri Sallee, is back with Susan to deep dive into Susan's newest article for Celebrate Arkansas called "Building Family" and to discuss if this definition of "family" really rings true.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We are just a couple of days away from the feast and fellowship of Thanksgiving.
This time of year the words "thankfulness" and "gratitude" get tossed around A LOT, but what do they really mean and how can we incorporate them into our daily lives on more than just one day a year.
Susan and Megan jump into how these words are same...but different and how they incorporate them into their own lives.
Thanksgiving is just a little over a week away and with that, for some, comes the stress of upholding traditions.
But...what if it's time for traditions to change?
This week Susan and Megan dive into what it means to have grace for yourself and others as traditions change as our lives evolve.

Susan and show favorite, Steve Goss, continue their discussion on love in "Love Shows Up - Part 1"
Our favorite love birds, Susan and Steve Goss, delve into the topic of LOVE today.
To continue on with last week's idea of being "intentionally thankful", Susan and Steve discuss how intentionality also translates in to LOVE.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (The Passion Translation) from Today's Episode:
4Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. 5Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. 6Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. 7Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.
Fall is coming and as the weather cools and the sweaters get snuggly, our thoughts turn to a season of thankfulness.
But...what if we chose to find thankfulness and gratitude year round?
Today Susan and guest Lorell Lyles, discuss that idea of intentional thankfulness and how it can change our everyday life.
You can learn more about Lorell at She Said Yes Bridal
And make sure to follow us on all your social media!!

To finish up our "Best of" Series, we are revisiting the story from our Tangible Truth Assistant, Keri Sallee, of how God used a very "unspiritual" thing to grow and heal her both mentally and spiritually.
Has God ever used something seemingly unspiritual to grow you?
Join Susan as she talks to special guest, Keri Sallee, about how God used running to take her on a spiritual journey of healing.
As we head into the start of a new school year, we know all families could use some tools for finding and keeping peace in the home.
Let's revisit Susan and Megan Jones' discussion on the subject.
In our chaotic world, peace and rest seem like the things of legends and daydreams.
But we are promised by God that we can have them.
Today, Susan and guest host, Megan Jones, continue their deep dive in to Psalm 37, discussing how YES...we can find peace and rest this side of heaven.
If anger is your Go-to emotion, it's time to dig a little deeper to find the root cause.
Continuing their deep dive into Psalm 37, Susan and Megan, move into the role of anger in our lives: when is it good vs when is it harmful.
