We Broke Up Due to Religion. Can We Still be Friends?...

Love and Life with Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott ·

2025/02/25

Question: I met this guy when I was 18 and he was 19. Three years later, I’ve chosen to break it off after realizing that no matter what, my family won’t accept us as a couple. For context, I belong to an ethnoreligious group—marrying outside the faith is frowned upon, as we work to preserve our identity and heritage. He was raised Christian, but he’s not devout.We never met each other's families, I would always be the one to talk about the future, while he just wanted to ''take it day

Help! I Regret Taking the Jab! Love & Life Q&A Ep. 342

We all felt the immense pressure to get the COVID vaccine. Many were forced to jab in order to keep their jobs. In some cities, we couldn’t eat in restaurants, buy a cup of coffee, or attend a concert unless we showed proof of vaccination.People rolled up their sleeves. Many regret it because they later learned the “vaccine”prevented neither infection nor transmission. And then there’s the lingering question: did the spike protein remain in the arm or did it travel throughout the body?One of our

Are You Truly Healing or Stuck in Endless “Recovery?”...

2025/01/16

“How long will I be in trauma recovery?”Whether we’re in therapy or working on our issues through self help books and podcasts, we often wonder, will I EVER truly heal from this wound? Elliott and I wanted to address this important concern—especially because Elliott recently received this exact question from a listener. Shortly thereafter, he stumbled upon a Keith Crossley reel speaking to this. Keith Crossley’s work is new to us—so we can’t vouch for all his viewpoints—but his perspective on

A new year brings a fresh start—a chance to make changes and set goals!We wanted to kick off 2025 by talking about the importance of reflection in the midst of making resolutions and intentions for the new year. To do so, we’re answering a listener’s question. Question: So, I make horrible choices in men apparently, and I have finally met somebody that I feel like is a good person—a perfect person for me. And, I’m absolutely terrified of him because he’s so nice and he’s so genuine, and he’s

Another current event weaves its way into our series on masculinity . . .This week I heard Newsweek’s Batya Ungar-Sargon’s take on the Daniel Penny prosecution. She viewed it in a way I hadn’t considered. She framed the prosecution itself as an attack on masculinity. I wanted to hear Elliott’s thoughts as a pastor, husband, and father. Has our society completely turned its back on men’s God given instinct to protect? Join us for another Love & Life commentary on current events. As for

It struck him as he was working with his clients over the last several weeks.Americans are divided—much like couples in crisis are divided. We’re dysregulated from the trauma of an incredibly contentious election and thus, we’re now prone to slip into what Elliott calls the “3 A’s of Intimacy Destruction.” We Assume, Accuse, and Attack—just like spouses in unhappy marriages. We Assume the worst in the “other side.” We Accuse them of horrible intentions and actions. We Attack them for their

The election is behind us, but the division remains.And, the demonstrations are just getting going. Movements like 4B and Blue Bracelets express rage at men and Trump voters in general. Women are swearing off sex, shaving off their hair, and wearing bracelets to signify to each other who is “safe” to be around. Can we possibly remain connected during this volitile time? I think we can 🙏🏻 And, to navigate these rough waters, I share some thoughts and tools from psychotherapy that could be

With the election now behind us, Elliott and I wanted to share thoughts on how to navigate love and life post election—especially concerning our relationships.Because half the country is really happy with the results, while the other half feels angry, demoralized, and even afraid. Specifically, we consider: How do we build unity in the midst of so much divisiveness? Can we find common ground? What does the Bible teach us about submitting to leadership and those in authority?

2024/11/05

On a day when many Progressives will go to the polls to vote for a “woman,” I’d like to share a few thoughts around the misogyny inherent to Leftists’ ideology.Their logic breaks down immediately as they can’t define what a woman is. So, how can they get excited about voting for a woman hoping she’ll be the first woman president? 🤷‍♀️ They’ve already established that womanhood is meaningless!!! Furthermore, the party that prides itself on “female empowerment” nevertheless signals they disparage

I know most people want to move on from COVID.And, maybe you’re ready to move on from the election. But, it’s all related—COVID, the election, and our platform of mind, body, & spirit. I have some thoughts. Plus, I’d like to explain why I’m voting for “literal Hitler” and his MAGA + MAHA team of courageous dissidents—RFK, Jr., Tulsi, and Elon. To do so, I respond to 3 current bits of news: Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage.” Harris’ cringy TV ad depicting wives defying their

It’s such a heated issue—and people on each side believe those who disagree with them are abusing children.In the last 10 years, we’ve witnessed an exponential increase in the number of kids who feel as if they’re the wrong sex. Although Gender Dysphoria Disorder remains a psychiatric illness per the DSM-5-TR, it currently is viewed quite differently when compared to other mental conditions. We don’t “affirm” Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Bipolar or schizophrenia. We treat clients by

We’re in the midst of a series on masculinity, so I had to weigh in on this one, and I looped in Producer Tim to get a Millennial male’s take. You’ve probably seen the clip of Jen Psaki interviewing Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff. Psaki claimed Emhoff has, “reshaped the perception of masculinity.” Really? Psaki then called him a “wife guy.” Okay . . . And sure, maybe Doug Emhoff is a super sweet and supportive husband. That’s great! But, there seemed to be a partisan subtext beneath

Faith & Politics: A Pastor’s Take on Voting Ep. 322

2024/10/17

Elliott and I didn’t grow up with a lot of political discourse. Our family delved into a wide array of topics, but as educators and musicians, we tended to discuss chord charts and pop tunes more than public policy. In fact, as most of you know, our father was a lifelong Democrat and our mother is a lifelong Republican. Yet, they possessed the same core values, had a strong 57 year marriage, and raised three well-adjusted kids. Could that happen nowadays? During most of our lifetime, it was

Psychiatric nurse and friend of the program, David Wayne, is back to discuss what he recently shared on Children’s Health Defense’s CHD.TV.In addition to nursing, Dave has a background in data analytics. Throughout the COVID era, he tried to make sense of the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated hospitalizations—the numbers weren’t adding up. Databases weren’t talking to each other. Default modes labeled patients as unvaccinated when in MANY cases, these patients had taken the COVID shot. For those of us

How do boys grow into men when their model for manhood has been abusive or absent?

Testosterone-Laden Men—A Bad Thing? Ep. 318

Love and Life with Dr. Karin and Pastor Elliott ·

2024/09/19

Recently, I heard a term, “testosteroni.” It was used in a pejorative manner to describe “testosterone-laden” men. In the conversation, these testosterone-laden men were pitted against a kinder, gentler model of manhood.I wasn’t sure just what they were getting at. But, I had questions. Is testosterone inherently a bad thing? Does it cause problems for men? How does it impact our perception of masculinity in general? Does testosterone end up being a disadvantage in our modern world?

As a psychiatric nurse, David Wayne believed wholeheartedly in the veracity of medical research and the necessity of pharmaceutical interventions—until he saw how ineffective and at times, harmful, these “treatments” were. He began to question his profession—especially psychiatry’s pharmaceutical “solution” for every mental health concern. Then COVID descended, and because he chose not to inject an experimental substance into his body, he got fired from his hospital. To support others losing

The election is upon us and the political divide—well, it’s probably better described as a chasm. So, we weren’t surprised to receive this question from a listener: “I’ve seen this rhetoric start to pop up on social media, leading into the election: ‘Don’t tell someone you love them, and then vote for someone who will hurt them.’ How do we deal with this type of divisive statement?” Our listener also indicated she’s single and in her 40s. She’s an only child, so her friends are absolutely
