Many believers quietly assume that suicide, depression, and anxiety represent a spiritual failure, but Christine D’Clario breaks that stigma for good. Christine is a worship leader and the author of Healing in the Desert: Finding Your Voice on the Journey from Brokenness to Freedom. After navigating a life rife with trauma, confusion, and loss, Christine struggled to find God in the midst of the hurricane, even amid her Christian roots. Years of struggling and suffering culminated in a brush with suicide. This warrior shares what she believes to be the moments that led up to that near-catastrophic decision, and how the church was ill-equipped to discuss depression and anxiety. She emphasizes the importance of Luke 10:27, which commands us to love the Lord with all our hearts - the key to a solid Christian life. TAKEAWAYS The church generally fails to address mental and emotional health from a pragmatic perspective Mental health resources have significantly expanded today, however, there are more people needing assistance than ever before Confession is key - reaching out and asking for help is the first step in the healing journey The church should address mental health with clarity and Biblical truth and be prepared to offer help to those that need it 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 Healing in the Desert book: https://amzn.to/49Xrtfx Soul Share Health: https://soulsharehealth.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE D’CLARIO Website: https://christinedclario.com/en/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/christinedclariomusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christinedclario/ X: https://x.com/christinedmusic YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/christinedclario TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@christinedclario 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tina Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Kytia L’amour is an accomplished performer, speaker, and author, but amid her many accolades, she has struggled with something that’s all too familiar for many women: postpartum depression. Kytia grew up in a Christian household and lived in a counter-cultural way as she grew in her faith. Still, she struggled with an identity crisis when she became a mother, jumping suddenly from hustling for acting jobs in the Hollywood Hills to raising babies! Kytia shares her insight about depression, noting that the transition to parenthood can be a devastating blow, because it means they have to die to self. It’s an overnight change, and it can be a massive culture shock. Kytia also explores the themes of depression, Christian community, and Scripture in her book, Postpartum Depression Devotional: Compassionate Devotions for Reflection, Strength, and Prayer. TAKEAWAYS Having a baby and caring for a newborn can make mothers feel isolated and alone Mom guilt and anxiety can hit unexpectedly in the most unpredictable ways Parenthood often signifies the death of selfish behavior, and this can be an intense adjustment Look for ways to help people in your community and be a blessing those around you, especially new moms who don’t have family close 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE COL1972 (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/COLCCM Postpartum Depression Devotional: https://amzn.to/4nOPGun 🔗 CONNECT WITH KYTIA L’AMOUR Website: https://kytialamour.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ItsKytiaLamour/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kytialamour/ X: https://x.com/kytialamour/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kytialamour 🔗 CONNECT WITH L’AMOUR IN CHRIST Website: https://lamourinchrist.com/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Tiny Revival (get 10% off with code TINA): https://tinyrevival.com/TINA Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

What is really at the root of postpartum depression? It’s lies, whispered by the enemy, meant to deceive, despair, diminish, and destroy. Amanda Scarborough was deep in this damaging and false reality when the Lord ripped off the veil of deceit, showing her that He was the only one who could truly help her heal from the crushing weight of anxiety and depression. Amanda is a small business owner and the author of A Beautiful War: Finding Hope in the Darkest Moments. She discusses her healing journey after suffering from postpartum depression and how God redeemed her pain and turned it into a testimony that has encouraged and guided other women suffering a similar battle. Amanda shares how women can get help if they are hurting and how we can help new moms who are in despair. TAKEAWAYS If you are feeling burdened and overwhelmed, lean on Jesus - He is your help, He is your healer, He is your counselor Do not allow the enemy to lie to you and tell you that you are alone in the battle Jesus LOVES you and will always love you Contact the Suicide and Crisis Hotline if you need immediate help by calling the number 988 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Angel Guild Voting: Angel.com/tinag A Beautiful War book: https://amzn.to/4uz0kbe Red Heart of Hope: https://bit.ly/4efcr81 988 Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH AMANDA SCARBOROUGH Website: https://www.amandalscarborough.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmandaLScarborough/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda.l.scarborough/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ RogersHood (use code TINA for 10% off): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tina Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Amanda Scarborough was in a fetal position, weeping on the floor when her husband walked into their bedroom, immediately realizing that something was terribly wrong. Their baby lay crying on the bed, while Amanda had distanced herself so that she wouldn’t harm the baby. It was at that moment that she did something she hadn’t done before: she cried out for help. This is what severe postpartum depression looks like. She needed intervention, guidance, and treatment. Amanda tells her story of wrestling through the difficulties of PPD through a Biblical lens. As a business owner, wife, and mother, she has walked through some of the deepest valleys and emerged with wisdom and experience that has helped many other moms dealing with similar serious postpartum depression themselves. TAKEAWAYS The enemy’s tactic with postpartum depression is to keep you isolated and convince you to harm your baby and/or take your own life When you’re IN the midst of depression, it’s often hard to find the words to describe what you’re feeling Shame is often a big factor in PPD, which stops women from seeking help and perinatal depression manifests when the baby is still in utero If you feel depressed, get help by calling 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Download the CCM App: https://bit.ly/4cGOqWf A Beautiful War book: https://amzn.to/4dJhITr Red Heart of Hope: https://bit.ly/4efcr81 988 Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH AMANDA SCARBOROUGH Website: https://www.amandalscarborough.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmandaLScarborough/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amanda.l.scarborough/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

When she was left jobless, homeless, and abandoned nearly overnight, Michal Russo realized that she had been ignoring some serious red flags about her lifestyle. God got her attention in a major way, and she promised to cast off all the stumbling blocks in her life, including her daily practice of yoga. Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network, and shares her powerful testimony - a trial by fire that opened her eyes to the dangers of mysticism, eastern religions, and the insidious influence of bloodthirsty, destructive false gods. She opens up about why she ignored yoga’s red flags and the justification behind it, how God called her out of this false religion, and why it’s so easy to get sucked into yoga practices. If you’re currently practicing yoga, it may be hard to stop, but it’s much more painful to suffer under the thumb of demonic forces. TAKEAWAYS Michal’s first book shares about the deception of Yoga: 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit Christians often communicate incorrectly about yoga; it’s important to know what you’re up against The mysticism that birthed yoga far predates Hinduism If you are aligned with the Lord, don’t open yourself up to any other type of spiritual influence 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Pop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444 How Yoga Harms book: https://amzn.to/49UygGH 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit book: https://amzn.to/4dD0Ldl 🔗 CONNECT WITH NEW CREATION WOMAN Website: https://www.newcreationwoman.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/4wE8EYq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.michalrusso/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newcreationwoman 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Medi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffin My Father’s World: mfwbooks. com/4tina Equipping The Persecuted: http://equippingthepersecuted.org/ Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/

Michal Russo was a pastor’s daughter and an athletic college swimmer when she discovered yoga. Squeaky clean and hardworking, she wasn’t the rebellious type, but yoga, she says, opened the door to dark and oppressive forces in her life. Today, Michal is the marketing director for TCT Network and the author of How Yoga Harms: A Love Letter for Understanding Yoga From a Christian Perspective. She explains key teachings and practices of yoga, which are deeply rooted in the worship of false gods and divination. Michal also highlights a startling but convicting truth: when you open up your mind to something in spirit and in truth, you’re worshiping it, whether you want to admit it or not! Don’t worship the false gods of yoga, look to Christ as your Savior. TAKEAWAYS Foreign cultures see Americans’ version of yoga as a pilfering of their sacred religious beliefs You cannot compartmentalize yoga as a Christian, and Yoga eventually seeks to control your entire identity It’s perfectly fine to stretch and exercise - just don’t participate in the idol worship that goes along with yoga Yoga attempts to manipulate the energy source of life, a practice that falls into the category of divination 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Hollywood Exposed Download: https://bit.ly/4uXLThg Renouncing Yoga video: https://bit.ly/4tjmTiZ How Yoga Harms book: https://amzn.to/49UygGH 7 Steps to Realign Body, Soul, Spirit book: https://amzn.to/4dD0Ldl 🔗 CONNECT WITH NEW CREATION WOMAN Website: https://www.newcreationwoman.com/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/4wE8EYq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.michalrusso/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@newcreationwoman 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY WAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina Waveguard (get 20% off with code TINA): https://waveguard.com/tina Faces of Choice: https://bit.ly/facesofchoiceCCM 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
