Kim Cary returns to talk about how God gave her the most incredible "R" words during one of the most difficult seasons she's experienced. In today's interview, Chris and Christina dive into how Kim received these powerful words.
Release was the first word, given during her difficult journey of caring for her aging mother. Rest followed a year later as she knew rest was exactly what she needed as she faced a taxing job and was dealing with the effects of high stress. Renew came a year later after sitting in a workshop as a reminder that until she fully released things into God's hands, rested her body and mind, He could not renew her. And finally, after making a decision to retire from her career in higher education after 30 years, reveal was the final "r" word that made it's way into her life.
Kim shares her journey not just with the four "r" words that have impacted her life in the last few years but also the journey those words has taken her on with her relationship with God.

When most men come to church, they are searching for more than a worship service. They are hoping for a genuine connection with other men where they can be vulnerable and transparent. When men connect at a heart level, they will most likely want to be a part of the church and will, as a result, lead their family in that involvement.
This is the basic idea that Chris leads with in today's episode. Men, within the walls of the church, are struggling. The challenge is not to condemn the church but to challenge men within it to reach out and become a safe person for another man.
Common struggles men are facing:
misunderstanding manhood, social anxiety, depression, lust, alcoholism, drug use, sexual identity, fear, work stress, no practical application for the Bible, misunderstanding God.
If you would are a man who can relate, reach out to a safe person. If you are man who can be that safe person, do it! There is power in men connecting.

Integrity builds trust. Trust is essential for good relationships. At the end of the day, this podcast is all about relationships.
Today, Chris and Christina talk about the disease of partial integrity.
Disease: illness, sickness, infection, ailments, disorder, affliction
We don't allow a disease to stay in our bodies. If you have an illness, the doctor asks for your symptoms. Just like a doctor may ask for symptoms, what are the "symptoms", your proof, that you are a person of integrity?
In today's discussion, you will be able to assess your level of integrity, discover some consequences of not being a person of integrity as well as hear some practical ways you can practice integrity.
Proverbs 10:9 "He walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his way will be found out."

Today, Chris and Micheal pick back up with their talk about the loss and grief they have experienced through death of a loved one as well as the benefits of talking about death, the reason why we don't talk about death, and why as a trusted Mentor, you could have the privilege of initiating one the most important conversations with others.
At Fahrenheit: Real Life Mentoring, we care about and engage the whole person. We are spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, relational, and professional/educational.
Jesus talked about his own death repeatedly. He didn’t run from the fact that his life would be cut short or try to hide that from his followers. He talked openly about it and I believe it helped him stay focused on what He was here to do and not get distracted by the crowds or temporary celebrations.
If Jesus talked about death, we think we should, too! Today Chris talks with Micheal Gerecke on the topic of death, perspective and real life. They mention the book by author Micheal Hebb, Let's Talk About Death Over Dinner which spurred part one of this two part discussion.
