• 1KHO 496: Peace Over Panic - What Stories of Death Teach Us About Life | Lee Strobel, Seeing the Supernatural

  In this unforgettable conversation, New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Lee Strobel joins Ginny Yurich to explore the unseen realm—where science, faith, and mystery collide. Drawing from his newest book Seeing the Supernatural, Strobel shares powerful, documented stories of near-death experiences, angelic encounters, supernatural dreams, and miracle healings that challenge modern assumptions about consciousness, death, and the afterlife. This episode is about evidence—not speculation—and what it might mean for how we live today. Whether you're a person of faith, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers an invitation to think deeply about life’s biggest questions. Strobel’s journey from atheism to belief reveals that small acts—like offering cookies to a neighbor—can ripple through eternity. It's a reminder that the way we parent, pray, and even play is shaped not just by the visible world, but also by what we can’t yet see. 📘 Seeing the Supernatural by Lee Strobel is available now.

• 1KHO 493: Make a Commitment Not to Be a Helicopter Parent | Mark Gerson, God Was Right

  What if the biggest risk to our children’s future isn’t failure—but our fear of it? In this bold and deeply affirming episode, Ginny Yurich is joined by bestselling author and father of four, Mark Gerson, to explore how overprotection is quietly robbing kids of the very traits they need to thrive: independence, resilience, and confidence. Drawing from his new book God Was Right, Gerson shows how timeless biblical truths—like “do not fear”—are being confirmed by modern social science, and why embracing those truths can change how we parent. This conversation covers everything from helicopter parenting and safetyism to peer pressure, adversity, and the importance of honoring children’s small steps toward freedom. With warmth and clarity, Mark explains how the smallest actions—returning a lost dollar, offering a smile, celebrating a milestone—are never just small. They are sacred. Packed with real-world examples, science, ancient wisdom, and hope, this episode is an invitation to raise stronger kids by doing less hovering and more cheering. You’ll walk away seeing your role—and your child’s potential—through a whole new lens. ** Get your copy of God Was Right here Learn more about Mark and all he has to offer here ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
