We see this everyday in our counseling offices. Parent alert 🚨 🚨🚨‼️‼️‼️🔔🔔🔔

ER nurse quote:

“In 2024/2025 su***de has been 2nd leading cause of death in 10-14 year olds and 9th leading cause in 5-9 year olds - my last suicidal patient was 8 years old and despite my teams best efforts in the er we were unable to revive her - TALK TO YOUR KIDS AND LISTEN TO THEM !!!

Before the school year begins, take just five minutes. 5 minutes to TALK to them. Remind them it’s never okay to mock someone’s body, skin, clothes, or the food they bring. Explain that not every classmate has new shoes, a clean outfit, or someone waiting at home with a hug or food. Let them know that the quiet kid might be carrying heavy things not everyone can see. That school should be a place to learn and be kind. That teasing leaves real scars, even if it sounds like “just joking.”
Just 5 minutes.
Because kindness isn’t random.
It’s taught.
It’s modeled.
It starts at home.
It starts with you.”

And if you haven’t taught them to bully TikTok and social media certainly have. Monitor their texts, chats and social media accounts or remove them. More children die from the mental deterioration caused by social media than guns and car wrecks. Each year. I bet you wouldn’t give them a gun or car without teaching them how to use it. Need help?

Just because your child is struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

Babies cry. Toddlers have tantrums. Kids talk back. Teenagers test limits. These aren’t signs of failure, they’re signs of development. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it can feel relentless, but this is what real parenting looks like.

God never called you to be a perfect parent. He called you to be a faithful one.
Faithful in love.
Faithful in discipline.
Faithful in showing up.
Faithful in pointing them back to Christ, again and again.

Hebrews 12:11 reminds us, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

Discipline means to teach not to punish!

If you’re planting seeds, correcting with love, and leading with grace, you are not failing. You’re walking in obedience. And that pleases the heart of God.

🧱 Building Better Bridges Starts with One Conversation
On KTAL-6’s 6 Hours of Caring, Clint Davis shared a powerful truth: the most important prevention starts at home, with intentional, age-appropriate conversations about sexual health, identity, and safety.

His book, Building Better Bridges, is a resource created to guide parents, caregivers, and leaders through the hard but necessary conversations that can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

➡️ We’re talking about:
• Protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation
• Helping victims reclaim their stories
• Raising boys who don’t become violators
• Breaking generational cycles through truth, connection, and healing

Let’s keep building bridges to hope, safety, and restoration.

Not all good things are God things. So many of us don’t know how to give our best YES.

We have been taught that overcommitting, overworking, overbusying, ourselves is the road to success.

Kids travel sports, another work event, one more late night at the office, another spin class, all can be good, but all can be toxic to your life.

We all need wise counsel to be able to see what is good for us and what is Godly. The lenses we see life through are muddled at best and dark at worst.

The sign of a mature believer is that we pair everything with prayer, the word, and wise counsel.

Check out this episode from our counselor Meg Roland!

🧠💔 Feeling stuck after trauma? Have you ever been caught in a cycle of panic, fear, or survival mode? You're not alone.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Meg Roland, a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor with Clint Davis Counseling. She shares what trauma really does to our brains—and why it’s so hard to move forward.

At a women’s retreat, Meg helped me understand what happened in my brain after losing my daughter Juliana Grace. 💕 I learned that past family trauma had already damaged my mental health—and nearly led me to end my life. But 🙌 God had other plans.

Meg explains the importance of community, secure attachment, and how faith can play a powerful role in healing. Her balanced approach combines logic, emotional awareness, and spiritual truth to bring real peace and restoration. 🕊️

🎧 Listen now and begin your healing journey—body, mind, and soul.

Trying to do everything on your own isn’t a badge of honor, it’s often a trauma response.

If you grew up in an environment where no one showed up for you…
Where asking for help led to disappointment, punishment, or silence…
Then independence became your survival skill.

But what starts as protection can turn into isolation.
You keep going. You never ask. You expect others to just know.
And when they don’t?
You feel resentment.
And that resentment can quickly grow into entitlement:
“Why should I have to ask? Why don’t they see I’m drowning?”

Here’s the hard truth:
No one can meet a need you never express.
And you’re not weak for needing help.
You’re human.

Let today be the day you stop wearing self-sufficiency like armor.
Let today be the day you unlearn the lie that you’re too much, too needy, or too burdensome.
Ask. Reach out. Let someone in.

There’s no trophy for doing it alone, but there is healing in doing it together.

We are the body of Christ. You are an essential part, but you have to chose to join. You weren’t meant to magnify Christ alone and self sufficiency only magnifies you.

🖤
