Conversations with CinthiaReplay: Being in Charge of Your Own Brain (3/3/24)oday’s topic is the neuroplasticity of the brain and how we can use it to take charge of our own thought processes. Cinthia opened today with a quote usually attributed to Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” We see the problems that occur with repeating behaviors that are not working, but what about our thoughts? Our brains create what are called “neural nets,” or networks of brain cells that learn to fire in succession in response to outside stimuli; these are often compared to superhighways in the brain. This creates habits...2024-11-0442 minConversations with CinthiaWhy Does God Want Us in Relationship?Today Cinthia noted just a few of the many Bible verses that indicate human beings are supposed to be in relationships with God, ourselves, and others. These included John 15:1-2, Proverbs 27:17, and II Corinthians 1:3-7. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 talks specifically about this, as well. These verses do not indicate that we should all be extroverts or that solitude is not valuable. They do mean, however, that we are not meant to do life alone. Genesis notes that God said it was not good for Adam to be alone, and so He made Eve. This does not necessarily mean everyone should be mar...2024-10-2142 minConversations with CinthiaDiscernment (9-8-24)The word “discernment” can have a lot of different meanings; today Cinthia discusses it as the process of determining what God is calling you to do. This can apply to vocation, marriage or singleness, and so many other important questions, and a given person can have several different callings at once (e.g., being married, working a particular job, etc.). Cinthia emphasizes today that God wants us to know what He wants for us and has given us tools for making these decisions. Discernment may seem mysterious at times, but it is more about awareness than any kind of weirdne...2024-09-0942 minConversations with CinthiaYou Always Have A Choice (Replay of 9-1-24)Do you acknowledge the choices you have? You may not always have the choices that you wish you had, but you always have a choice. Today Cinthia discussed what it means to take ownership of your life and the choices you have. Acknowledging your own choices means giving up the option to blame others for the entire direction of your life (although it does not mean accepting blame for things that were not your fault -- In fact, sometimes one of the choices you have is whether to accept and affirm that someone else’s choice was not your fault...2024-09-0243 minConversations with CinthiaLet Them Love You (Replay from 8-13-23)Do you reject compliments, explaining why you don’t really deserve them? Do you get nervous when someone does something nice for you, turn down offers of help even when you could really use them, or hate the feeling you get when someone forgives you or extends grace and kindness your way? Today’s show is on letting other people love you.
It can be scary and humbling to let someone love you and give you grace. The enemy (i.e., Satan) will try to exploit this by encouraging you to think that you are in a one-dow...2024-08-2643 minConversations with CinthiaWhy Are You So Hard on Yourself? (Replay from 5-26-24)For many of us, the harshest litany in our lives is the stream of self-evaluations running through our heads. This can seem harmless and even necessary to control our behavior; it is easily confused with appropriately holding ourselves accountable. But the way we deal with ourselves reveals a lot about our views of reality, and it tends to leak out into our relationships with others, though we may not be aware of that. Today Cinthia looks at two big (and related) reasons we are so hard on ourselves: unforgiveness and perfectionism.
Cinthia states that the following is an...2024-08-0542 minConversations with CinthiaCurrent Events: Interviews with Kelsey Pritchard and Dr. Mitch GlasserToday Cinthia conducted two interviews with individuals who work in areas significant to events happening in the world. First, she talked with Kelsey Pritchard, who is the director of state public affairs for SBA Pro-Life America; she was previously the communications director for former South Dakota governor Dennis Daugaard and has also worked in the private sector. Pritchard talked about the significance of the Dobbs decision and the way society has shifted in its thoughts about abortion since Roe v. Wade. She discussed the way the narrative has altered with deceptive language and misinformation so that a woman with an...2024-07-1542 minConversations with CinthiaReplay of "Helping the Ones You Love" (7-16-23)For every person in the world diagnosed with an addiction or mental disorder, there is at least one other person trying to help someone in this condition. Families are deeply impacted, and these situations can be ripe for misunderstanding, misinformation, and stigma. Today Cinthia explores how to love well when a loved one struggles with a mental illness or addiction. She began at the beginning of Luke 10 and explored issues related to boundaries and codependency in several passages leading up to the parable of the Good Samaritan. She then looked directly at the parable and discussed what he did and...2024-07-0842 minConversations with CinthiaHow to Be Inspired (6-2-24)Today Cinthia discusses motivation and inspiration, two concepts that are related but not identical. She uses a variety of quotes and offers a number of questions to ask ourselves as we examine our own ongoing motivation and inspiration. The first was the following by Thomas Carlyle: “Let him who would be moved to convince others be first moved to convince himself.” You cannot motivate others if you are not motivated by your own mission or vision. Motivation and inspiration are contagious, as are negativity, skepticism, and cynicism.
The relationship between motivation and inspiration is somewhat cyclical; Cinthia says, “W...2024-06-0342 minConversations with CinthiaWhy Are You So Hard on Yourself?For many of us, the harshest litany in our lives is the stream of self-evaluations running through our heads.

The first was an interview with Kevin Sorbo, a well-known actor who has played many roles, including that of Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and that of Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda. He is currently promoting a movie that will be coming out in August called Firing Squad, in which Sorbo acts along with James Barrington and Cuba Gooding, Jr. The movie is based on a true story about three men facing execution in Indonesia and the hope and redemption that broke out in a terrible place. Sorbo also discussed a book he wrot...2024-05-2043 minConversations with CinthiaGod Does Not Cover Up Bad Things; He Covers UsI Peter 4:8 tells us, “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” But what does this mean, and how do we walk it out in a healthy way? Does it mean dismissing sin, hiding abuse and allowing it to continue, accepting ongoing mistreatment without ever setting a boundary?
Covering has several dimensions, and God is our example in all of them. One aspect of covering is forgiveness, which is always associated with love, and the supreme example of this is Jesus taking our sin on Himself and dying for us. In this way, God...2024-05-1342 minConversations with CinthiaWhy Can't I Believe in You?Today Cinthia continues a conversation she began a few weeks ago with the episode “Why Don’t You Believe Me?” Trust is impacted by many factors on both sides of a relationship, and it is difficult to sort out when our fears indicate legitimate warning signs about another person and when they signal our own trust issues or immaturity. (And sometimes both can be involved!)
Believing anything is always a risk. The only thing that is sure is God, and we have a lot of trouble trusting Him. But some trust is better-placed than other trust. How do we know...2024-04-2242 minConversations with CinthiaMade in the Image of GodToday Cinthia discussed what it means that we as human beings are made in the image of God. We say all kinds of things about ourselves, and not all of the things we say are true. We work hard to define ourselves, to figure out who we are and grasp some kind of identity for ourselves. But these attempts will never make us free until they line up with the truth about ourselves, which is rooted in Who God is and who He says we are. We look around for those we can emulate, but, until we know and emul...2024-04-1542 minConversations with CinthiaEaster Twilights (Replay of 4-9-23)Twilight seems like a wisp of time; it comes and goes and is gone. It occurs twice a day, bookending the days and nights. Is this simply an accident of the Earth’s rotation and revolutions around the sun? Nothing God creates is without meaning and purpose, and twilight, Cinthia explains, is a beautiful gift to us.
Cinthia explored dictionary definitions of twilight as (for example) “the diffused light from the sky during early evening or morning when the sun is below the horizon and its light is refracted by the earth’s atmosphere.” Twilight is a time of trans...2024-04-0142 minConversations with CinthiaBeing in Charge of Your Own BrainToday’s topic is the neuroplasticity of the brain and how we can use it to take charge of our own thought processes.

We want to trust. We get scared to trust. Some of us resist trusting, as if we could get through a single day without trusting anyone or anything. We have all found ourselves to be untrustworthy at times. Some of us trust too easily, layering our hopes on things that have not proven themselves worthy of it. Most of us trust the wrong things at some point. “Trust is a word I understand,” says Cinthia, “until I actually have to do it. It doesn’t feel like a heavy word until I actually have to carry it...2024-01-1542 minConversations with CinthiaAdulting By Accepting Three Core TruthsWhat does it mean to act like an adult? We all know it includes things like laundry, bill-paying, and going to the dentist, but what underlies those activities and determines the priorities of an emotional adult? Today Cinthia explains how the three core truths she teaches apply to the topic of growing up emotionally.
As an example of what this looks like, Cinthia described her husband Michael’s approach to some significant medical problems that he recently faced. Although he experienced significant pain and some very scary circumstances, Michael took charge of his health and did all he coul...2023-12-0442 minConversations with CinthiaWhat Is God Really Wanting for Us?With the tragedies happening in the world right now, Cinthia encourages each of us to discover and remember why God has placed us on the earth. With that in mind, today she discusses concepts from one of her books, God Wants You Truly Living (Not Walking Dead). God is wanting us each to have a life beyond our wildest dreams, but it requires that we die to the things that get in the way of that – including, sometimes, the dreams themselves.
Ephesians 3:20 (Message version) says, “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine...2023-10-1642 minConversations with CinthiaHow Do I Love Thee? (Replay from 5-21-23)Cinthia opened today’s episode with a famous sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, entitled “How Do I Love Thee?” The poem famously begins, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,” and then beautifully lists a variety of ways the lover in the poem loves the beloved. Cinthia cited this as a beautiful exploration of the reality that love is acted upon, carried out, expressed in actions and gestures that mean something to the lover and to the beloved.
Have you ever done something meaningful for someone you loved, only to observe that the individual didn’t seem t...2023-09-2543 minConversations with CinthiaYou Always Have a ChoiceDo you acknowledge the choices you have? You may not always have the choices that you wish you had, but you always have a choice. Today Cinthia discussed what it means to take ownership of your life and the choices you have. Acknowledging your own choices means giving up the option to blame others for the entire direction of your life (although it does not mean accepting blame for things that were not your fault -- In fact, sometimes one of the choices you have is whether to accept and affirm that someone else’s choice was not your fault...2023-09-0443 minConversations with CinthiaWomen In Business: An Interview with Aaron Knipp and Lenna MurrayToday Cinthia spent the first two segments with guest Aaron Knipp of Cicospace (cicospace.com), whom long-time listeners will recognize from previous shows. The two discussed some recent changes in the business world that have implications for women. The business world has shifted from its traditional emphasis on authority, competition, strength, and expertise to a more relational approach in which authenticity, making connections, storytelling, and developing genuine relationships is expected. This tends to work well for women, who tend to be more relational and adaptive. This does not negate the value of traditional male characteristics or approaches but does mean...2023-08-2843 minConversations with CinthiaJourney to Fulfill Your Destiny: An Interview with Antoine AndrewsToday Cinthia interviews Antoine Anderson, a church planter (2ten.church in southern Phoenix), men’s life coach, husband, father, and author of the book Journey to Fulfill Your Destiny (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=journey+to+fulfill+your+destiny&crid=38ZS5AS1HXZZD&sprefix=journey+to+fulfill+your+destiny%2Caps%2C93&ref=nb_sb_noss). In this new book, Antoine explores the life of Joseph and what men today can learn from it. Cinthia expressed happiness that the book is releasing at such a time, noting that men are often given very mixed and degrading messages in our cult...2023-08-2143 minConversations with CinthiaLet Them Love You (8-13-23)Do you reject compliments, explaining why you don’t really deserve them?

Today Cinthia discusses the lyrics of that song and the deep human longing it captures. Love is foundational to human beings because God, Who is Love itself, made us in love. The Bible even says that “love never fails” (I Corinthians 13:8). Many people, however, think love has failed them because they have experienced the failure of human beings to love well. And, as bands like Nazareth have sun in the Boudleaux Bryant classics by the same name, “love hurts.” Many people have been hurt so deeply that they n...2023-08-0742 minConversations with CinthiaHelping the Ones You LoveFor every person in the world diagnosed with an addiction or mental disorder, there is at least one other person trying to help someone in this condition. Families are deeply impacted, and these situations can be ripe for misunderstanding, misinformation, and stigma. Today Cinthia explores how to love well when a loved one struggles with a mental illness or addiction. She began at the beginning of Luke 10 and explored issues related to boundaries and codependency in several passages leading up to the parable of the Good Samaritan. She then looked directly at the parable and discussed what he did and...2023-07-1742 minConversations with CinthiaMoving On From Yesterday’s Success, with Aaron KnippIn the arena of identity, we often struggle to let go of negative aspects of who we think we are. Past failures, old labels, experiences we cannot forget, mistakes we cannot change - It can be such a relief to realize we no longer have to define ourselves by those things. But today Aaron Knipp talks with Cinthia about moving on from past successes. Together they explore how even our talents and achievements do not define our existence as human beings created in the image of God. In an age when crafting our own images and “personal brands” can seem like...2023-07-1043 minConversations with CinthiaBe Your Own Best VersionWhile freshly taught and recorded for this week, today’s topic is a Cinthia-Classic and relates to her reason for doing this podcast in the first place! Cinthia has been saying, “Be your own best version,” since 2010, but what does she mean by that? What is the difference between striving to meet lists of expectations (your own or other people’s) and being the best version of yourself?
Cinthia recalled some highlights from her own story today, describing her struggle with performance-oriented behavior, which is a constant attempt to achieve a sense of personal value by showing others who...2023-07-0343 minConversations with CinthiaLetting GoInspired by a listener’s request, today Cinthia discussed how to let go, applying it to various kinds and levels of loss: the loss of something or someone to which we have become attached, someone or something we loved, something for which we hoped, something on which our hearts were set, something to which we so looked forward, something we enjoyed, etc. How do we move forward when the object of our desire is gone?
The answer is the grief and loss process. Cinthia begins with John 11:35 in which Jesus weeps at the death of His friend Lazar...2023-06-1243 minConversations with CinthiaThe Comparison GameCinthia explained at the outset that she sees lots of problems in her practice with people thinking they are not enough, not measuring up, and that this leads to comparing and contrasting themselves with others “twenty-four, seven.” She also explained that she has struggled with comparison in her own thoughts and has worked hard over the course of her life to address this. Cinthia stated that always wanting “to know we’re ok” is part of “the human condition,’ but noted that comparing ourselves to each other as an attempt to accomplish this is highly problematic. How can we compare things th...2023-05-2943 minConversations with CinthiaHow Do I Love TheeCinthia opened today’s episode with a famous sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, entitled “How Do I Love Thee?” The poem famously begins, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways,” and then beautifully lists a variety of ways the lover in the poem loves the beloved. Cinthia cited this as a beautiful exploration of the reality that love is acted upon, carried out, expressed in actions and gestures that mean something to the lover and to the beloved.
Have you ever done something meaningful for someone you loved, only to observe that the individual didn’t seem t...2023-05-2243 minConversations with CinthiaHow Much Does Your Pleasure Cost You and Others?Are you willing to pursue virtue, or do you think of it as costing too much? Pleasure has a price, too, one that is sometimes worth paying and sometimes not. Pleasure is often an attempt to mitigate pain, but sometimes the price of pleasure is more pain for us and others. How much is your pleasure costing you? Your loved ones? Your community and society? Cinthia explains, “Pain is real. Pain management, when done morally, is the best antidote and possible cure for pain… in this world. Pleasure, however, most often masquerades as giving you positive feelings. It seems to give you r...2023-05-0843 minConversations with CinthiaMore Than A WeddingToday Cinthia discusses the Wedding at Cana (John2:1-11) during which Jesus performed His first miracle on earth. The fact that Jesus performed His first miracle at a family event – a wedding, specifically – and at the request of a family member, has significance. The Bible calls Jesus the Bridegroom and the Church His Bride. God loves and values family, and we are His family. However, this account also shows us Jesus as a man (yes, also God, but still a man) and a son and family member. It gives great insight into gender issues, as well as our approach to God an...2023-05-0143 minConversations with CinthiaThe Ignore-Delete ButtonToday Cinthia explains a tool she uses, one we all need in our heads: the ignore/delete button. This idea is a way of choosing not to dwell on actions (our own or those of others) that cause us to become overly or unnecessarily upset, judgmental, arrogant, self-loathing, or agitated. Cinthia likes to picture her ”button” in the back of her head so she can physically tip her head when she uses it – a physical exercise that uses muscle memory to help her reset her perspective.
If this surprises you or sounds unhealthy, perhaps reminding you of denial, m...2023-04-2442 minConversations with CinthiaBe Your Own Best Version: Feeling Good vs. Being Good (10-9-22)If you’ve listened to the show for long, you’ve heard Cinthia talk a lot about “being your own best version.” You’ve heard her teach that you (yes, you, personally) are alive for a reason, that God only made one of you, and that He did it on purpose. No one else can be what He made you to be. You’ve heard her teach that you can effect change in yourself and in the world around you. You’ve heard her teach that pain is inevitable and that the effective management of it is imperative for being your own bes...2022-10-1043 minConversations with CinthiaWars to Peace Is Here!!!Finally, the moment we've been waiting for... Cinthia's latest book,Wars to Peace: Keeping Relationships from Going Nuclear, is finally here!! And to celebrate, we are turning the tables with a very special interview, one in which Cinthia is the interviewee instead of the interviewer! Join Cinthia's editor Michelle Savage as she interviews Cinthia about her newest book, including what inspired it and how it can help people transform their relationships and their personal relational functioning.

The “real” part means (in part) that our bodies produce chemicals that wash through us – things like adrenaline and cortisol that can separate us from our logical brains and, if we’re not careful, influence our decisions in devastating ways. The good news, Cinthia explains, is that it is possible to have emotions, notice them, and use them well without allowing them to drive us over proverbial cliffs. If you have ever have ever found yourself “drunk on your own emotions” or woken up with an “emotional hangover” from th...2022-08-2943 minConversations with CinthiaDEFCON Levels 3 and 2The setting is a significant relationship. You’ve been picking up some concerning signals and have been on increased alert. Now the emotional threat level is increasing, and you are starting to prepare for the possibility that you will need to act to increase safety… Welcome to the second podcast in the DEFCON series, which introduces the concepts in Cinthia’s upcoming book, Wars to Peace. Today we look at DEFCON levels 3 and 2, which take us beyond simply increasing our guard to actually strategizing, preparing, and being ready to mobilize if necessary. The good news is that none of this means...2022-06-2743 minConversations with CinthiaDEFCON: Introduction and Levels 5 and 4How do relationships become war zones? How do the emotions start flying, the words get launched, the lines get crossed, and the things we can't undo get done - all within the context of relationships that have felt safe, exciting, and beautiful? How do we go so quickly from being someone's hero to feeling like the bad guy, from living in a fairy tale to appearing on a talk show (or at least reminding ourselves of one)? And it’s not just our intimate relationships; any relationship that evokes our care, loyalty, or concern can become chaotic, confusing, and comba...2022-06-2042 minConversations with CinthiaGod on Your Terms“Religion,” “spirituality,” and “relationship with God” can be such loaded words and phrases, words that hint at something valuable, even crucial, but also trigger lots of complex memories, opinions, and associations. Today Cinthia explains that science is finding the human brain changed by belief in the Divine and interaction with it. She also states that the relationship God wants with each of us is (like all relationships) unique to the parties involved. So, if there is a God and that God wants a relationship with you, it might not look like someone else thinks it should. It might not even look like y...2022-05-0243 minConversations with CinthiaInterview with Lisa Beth ThomasLisa Beth Thomas was successful in business, a picture of strength as she helped famous people navigate their marketing needs. In her personal life, however, she felt intimidated and overwhelmed by the fallout of an unhealthy marriage and the ongoing financial and familial consequences left behind. Today she talks with Cinthia about the process she undertook as she found her voice, navigated major life changes, and identified the core fears that had made it so difficult to do what she needed to do. She discusses her discoveries regarding blame, responsibility, acceptance, and courage. Today, Lisa Beth helps others through her...2022-04-1143 minConversations with CinthiaDiscernmentWe all want to make good decisions, but how do we make room for discernment in the midst of busy lives and complex sets of circumstances? Today Cinthia discusses discernment as a gift, a virtue (which means it can be developed), and a process that (in most cases) requires time. Whether you are making a decision by yourself, trying to make one with others, or simply trying to make room in your life to make decisions well when they do arise, join Cinthia to learn to cultivate the conditions in which discernment can flourish. To dive deeper into the mes...2022-03-0644 minConversations with CinthiaFriends and Family: Connection and BoundariesHaving addressed romantic intimacy last week and intimacy with ourselves the previous week, Cinthia finishes February with a look at the bread-and-butter connections that make up so much of our emotional landscape throughout life: friendships and family relationships. If we want to enjoy deep connections in these kinds of relationships, we have to be ready to navigate the murky waters of acceptance and how it differs from approval. How can we accept and be in relationship with mistake-making people? What is the difference between accepting people and tolerating unacceptable behavior? And how do our policies toward ourselves impact our ways...2022-02-2743 minConversations with CinthiaA Journey through Weight Loss and Body Image: Interview with Aaron KnippDo you ever look for answers you already know, hoping to find an easier way? Do you spend time, energy, or money trying to increase your motivation because you find it difficult to keep plodding along once a motivation-high wears off? After struggling with weight throughout his childhood, reaching 320 pounds, and trying to lose weight 27 different times, Aaron Knipp finally found what worked for him and lost 140 pounds. Since then, he has maintained that progress and written Calories In, Calories Out: What It Took for Me to Lose 140 Pounds and How You Can Do It Too. He has also foun...2022-02-0645 minConversations with CinthiaDon‘t Let Stress Steal Your HolidaysStressful situations have a way of revealing what is really inside of us, and holidays can sometimes fit this description! Sometimes we respond to stress by going into survival mode, even when our actual survival is not being threatened. We may feel cornered, panic, and engage in some kind of fight/flight/freeze response when, in fact, we do have choices available. Today Cinthia discusses what it means to distinguish the appropriate level of response to a situation and how to keep momentary stress from stealing the moments we have. Is it possible that you will need to soothe yourse...2021-12-0545 minConversations with CinthiaRelationships101, Pt. 4: 11-14-21It’s hard to get far in human relationships without running into the issue of need. We need each other, but we don’t want to need each other in the wrong ways, wrong amounts, wrong times… Some of us wish we didn’t have to need other people at all! As we continue the fresh 2021 version of Relationships 101, Cinthia reviews some concepts from recent podcasts and then explores the meanings and implications of our various dependencies in human relationships. She finishes by taking a specific look at addictive relationships. These are sometimes hard to define or understand, but, when you hea...2021-11-1445 minConversations with CinthiaRelationships 101, Part 2 (10-31-21)Relationships are one of the most important parts of life, but that doesn’t make them easy. There may not be a standard textbook for dealing with people, but today Cinthia offers some basic concepts and skills to improve your relationships and relational functioning. Whether you are struggling to learn these things for the first time or have taught them to others for years, these principles are important enough to learning, review, evaluation, and growth. Join Cinthia for some practical how-to guidelines for dealing with yourself, other people, and life in relationship with others.
To dive deeper into the m...2021-10-3144 minConversations with CinthiaYour Value is GuaranteedWe expend massive amounts of money, time, and effort trying to grasp our own identities, searching desperately to figure out who we are. We long to understand why we are the way we are, and we often try to change ourselves, hoping to increase our own value. Today Cinthia points out that created beings cannot be understood without first considering the creator. This means that, if you want to understand yourself, you can’t start with yourself. To know who we are and what we are worth, we have to start with Who God is and what He does for us, not wh...2021-10-1744 minConversations with CinthiaFree to Thrive, Pt. 2: Interview with Ben BennettAs if we weren't excited enough to interview Josh McDowell last week, this week Cinthia talks with Ben Bennett about Free to Thrive, the book he and Josh McDowell are releasing. Having faced his own trauma and struggles with addiction, Mr. Bennett is now the director of Resolution Movement, helping others discover tools for addressing their own struggles. Today he and Cinthia discuss the importance of recognizing and meeting emotional needs, reducing the status of asking for help with mental/emotional issues, and understanding how unmet emotional needs and unresolved emotional trauma can feed behaviors we want to resist but...2021-09-1943 minConversations with CinthiaTake Good Care of You -- You‘re the Only You We Have!Sometimes we dismiss self-care as unnecessary, inconvenient, selfish, or undeserved. But if God chose to make you, He must have wanted one of you around. In fact, one is exactly how many He made-- one YOU. And, while He may not want you to confuse self-care with self-indulgence, He does want you to take care of the unique work of art He created. Today Cinthia emphasizes that, when you don't take care of yourself, the rest of us lose access to what God designed you to give us. Join Cinthia to look at why self-care is anything but selfish and w...2021-09-0644 minConversations with CinthiaTypes of DependencySometimes we think of dependence on others as inherently unhealthy, but, in fact, we are meant to need each other. To be human, says Cinthia, is to be in relationship with other people, and to be in relationship with other people, she continues, is to be dependent. Not all dependencies, however, are created equal. Do you tend toward codependency? Counter-dependency? Independence and interdependence? Join Cinthia to consider how you can healthily depend on others and allow them to do the same with you.
2021-08-2943 minConversations with CinthiaCan Fairy Tales Be Real? (originally aired 2-1-15)What story do you long to live? Today Cinthia tells part of her own story and discusses the way three strands of story braid together in our lives; these are the stories God is writing, the stories we keep trying to write, and the fairy tales of which we dream. Join Cinthia to learn about the ways God has continued to write her story even when everything (including heart) was set against it, as well as to look at how God is writing your story and how you can more effectively cooperate with Him as the Author of your li...2021-08-0844 minConversations with CinthiaAre You Brave Enough to Be YOU? (originally aired 1-24-21)"You follow me," Jesus told the other disciples when they wondered what Jesus had planned for John. Such simple instructions, but following Jesus as ourselves rather than looking around at everyone else can be more difficult than we imagined. Do you ever wish you could follow Him as someone else? Do you wonder if He has a path for you, if He even likes you? Cinthia asserts that it takes courage to be the person God created you to be but that He made you the only one who can do it. You need His forgiveness, His strength, His guidan...2021-07-1943 minConversations with CinthiaWhy Do We Lie? Most of us know we shouldn’t lie, but how honest are we about our honesty? We may lie overtly or covertly. We may lie to survive, to get our needs met, to protect ourselves from pain (though we know it ultimately tends to bring us more pain), to smooth out social interactions, to spare the feelings of others, and for so many other reasons. Some people certainly lie more than others, some with remorse and others without. So when does lying signal serious cause for concern, like personality disorders or other characterological issues? How do we deal with it in ourselves or in o...2021-07-1143 minConversations with CinthiaBoundaries and Your Adult ChildrenParenting advice abounds these days... that is, if your kids are still underage. But what if you have adult kids who still seem to need parenting? You didn't stop loving them when they turned eighteen; how can you help them now? And what do you do if their adult lives get bumpy and they seem more comfortable being your kids than moving forward with their lives? Parenting isn't easy, even after you finish bringing up children. Today Cinthia explores the boundaries that apply to parenting once your children aren't children anymore. If you made it through teething, toilet training, and te...2021-06-2943 minConversations with CinthiaShow Up As A Grown-Up (Originally aired 6-7-20)Do you ever suspect that our society is low on grown-ups these days? We tend to believe we are entitled to consistently pleasant feelings and that someone is to blame if these aren't happening. We get confused about the difference between things that "feel" true and things that actually are. Cinthia explains that these ways of thinking tend to be hallmarks of childhood, not signs of a healthy adult approach. Just as we don't want little children trying to handle adult problems, we can't let the most childish and vulnerable parts of our psyches run our lives and make deci...2021-06-1344 minConversations with CinthiaBe Your Own Change AgentWe look for all kinds of things to help us change. Most of us, however, already know a few ways we could change our lives for the better. So why don't we change? Today Cinthia explores what it looks like to be your own change agent, as well as to consider what is getting in the way of change for you. If you know change would be a good thing but are still stuck, join Cinthia to look at how to become your own agent for change.
2021-05-3043 minConversations with CinthiaHow to Secure Your Self-EsteemHave you ever struggled with how to feel good about yourself when you look at the outcome of your own choices? If you've listened to Cinthia for long, you've heard her talk about how our value is unchanging, established by the One Who made us and Who loves us unconditionally. But learning to value ourselves like He does is not the same as saying we will always feel good about our choices. If we want to make good decisions, we're going to have to develop some character and integrity. So what does that mean, and where do we start? Join...2021-05-1044 minConversations with CinthiaA User's Manual for HumansToday Cinthia explores the gift of guidance. Doing life as a human is not always intuitive or self-explanatory, especially when we are struggling to mature. Join Cinthia to look at how the Ten Commandments and the greatest commandments in the Bible and the lists of deadly sins historically discussed in the Church, as well as the corresponding virtues, can provide us with guidance on the journey.
2021-05-0244 minConversations with CinthiaI Do Me, You Do You, We Do UsImmaturity doesn’t always recognize itself. Sometimes we assume that, having completed the first eighteen years of our lives and acquired adult bodies, tasks, and roles, we must be adults in every sense of the word. Cinthia explains, however, that growing up and growing older are two very different things, and learning to take responsibility for ourselves is a major hallmark of emotional maturity. So how do we gauge our own maturity needs? How do we make sure we are not emotional children or teenagers who insist we can handle our own lives but have unrealistic expectations of the world...2021-04-2543 minConversations with CinthiaThe Gift of PeaceHave you ever had someone reject a compliment or other gift you wanted to give? Today Cinthia discusses the parting gift Jesus left us before His death, resurrection, and ascension: His peace. We tend to have so much trouble acknowledging and enjoying this gift, often gravitating toward worry and negativity. How do we access this gift? How do we open and enjoy it? Cinthia explains the role of trust in helping us reject worry and access the gift of peace God gives us. She also discusses the way our thoughts impact our physiology. Join her this week to consider how to...2021-04-0443 minConversations with CinthiaHis Kindness Helps Us ChangeDo you ever fear being kind to yourself? Does it seem like loving behavior toward yourself might enable bad behavior and harshness might be necessary to inspire change? Building on last week’s discussion of dying to the things that are killing us, today Cinthia discusses dying to self-hatred and the belief that self-flagellation is the best way to remake ourselves into what we should be. In this episode, Cinthia discusses what kindness is and is not (Hint: It’s not extreme self-indulgence or self-deception.) and looks at some research on how being kind impacts our bodies and minds. She cons...2021-03-2843 minConversations with CinthiaGod Wants You Truly Living, Not Walking DeadSometimes we hold onto things, things we can't imagine life without... things that are, nevertheless, killing us, stealing the life God wants us to have. Letting go involves a dying process. But the dying processes God uses are not those that leave us without life; instead, they lead us into a life we could never have imagined. Today Cinthia not only discusses her 2011 book but tells the story of how it was written. Writing on one continent as she prepared to speak on another, Cinthia started with the story of Lazarus and the verse, “Jesus wept,” and soon found herself...2021-03-2143 minConversations with CinthiaAre You Brave Enough to Be YOU?"You follow me," Jesus told the other disciples when they wondered what Jesus had planned for John.

We all face times of discouragement, disappointment, exhaustion, and even the temptation to despair. Today Cinthia addresses those who are (or have been or will be) in that place. When you've got nothing, it's not the time to give up. It's the time to find out what is being offered to you by the One Who has it all, gave it up for us, and will one day be acknowledged as Lord of everything. Join Cinth...2020-12-2143 minConversations with CinthiaFeelings -- Nothing More Than FeelingsFeelings... Some think of them as touchy-feely nonsense, the kind of thing only the weak really notice. Others feel dominated by them, tossed about by a swirling ocean of emotions that ebbs and flows but never seems to stop. Lots of people pay attention to some feelings but don't even notice others. So what are these things called feelings? Why do we have them, and what are we supposed to do with them? Today Cinthia explores what it means to be created with feelings by a God who also has feelings, as well as what we are supposed to do wi...2020-12-1443 minConversations with CinthiaHow Intricately and Wonderfully Made You AreOur culture tells us we should be so many things we are not, then tells us (without knowing us) that we should accept ourselves and embrace high self-esteem. God, on the other hand, is completely aware of who we are and how He made us. The things He has to say about us are not uninformed or generic. He knows what He made each of us to be, and He knows what we've each done with it so far. Today Cinthia looks at Psalm 139 where the Psalmist expresses awe at how well God knows him and at the amazingly crea...2020-12-0643 minConversations with CinthiaWhere There Is No Vision, There Is No HopeHow much hope do you have left? Is your hope strengthening or waning? Our culture likes to tell us to reach for the stars and make our dreams come true, but reality often steps in to crush our highest and deepest hopes. The Bible, however, acknowledges that life is often crushing, and it seems to associate hope with attachment to things bigger than ourselves —God, His law, the Truth as He communicates it to us, etc. Cinthia explores what it means to place our hope in Jesus rather than in our dreams, systems, or social and political processes. There is a ho...2020-11-0143 minConversations with CinthiaMission Recovery: Interview with Ron SmedleyIs addiction being adequately discussed in church? Ron Smedley is a pastor, as well as the Executive Director of Mission Recovery, a project of S.A.V.E. (Survivors and Victims Empowered) that seeks to advocate and educate regarding addictions, including opiate addictions. He has also been a parole officer and a caseworker with Child Protective Services, and is currently a trustee on the local school board as well as serving on several other boards for non-profits. Today he joins Cinthia to discuss the crisis, as well as the programs he and others have created to help people who are...2020-10-2544 minConversations with CinthiaA Life of Listening: Interview with Dr. Leighton FordIn a world of soundbytes, really listening to each other can seem a dying art, one that takes more energy and time than we want to allow. But we have a God Who listens to us, Who truly attends to us. Following His example requires learning how to listen to Him and to others -- and even to ourselves. Today's guest is Dr. Leighton Ford, a man who some say has mentored more people (especially Christian leaders) than anyone else alive! He and his wife Jean began a ministry to Christian leaders after losing their 21-year-old son. He joins Cinth...2020-10-1843 minConversations with CinthiaWhat Has to Die In Order For You to Live?We hold on so tightly to the things we think give us life. We fear loss and change, and we desperately cling to our own self-definitions. But so often God knows we are hanging onto the things that kill us, thinking they are our salvation. He longs to give us life, real life, but to do so He has to kill parts of us that are choking the life out of who we were meant to be. Today Cinthia revisits an excerpt from her book God Wants You Truly Living, Not Walking Dead. Are you willing to let God kill...2020-10-1143 minConversations with CinthiaThe Church, Relationships, and Generation Z: Interview with Josh McDowellLoneliness has reached pandemic proportions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies are showing loneliness, suicide, and other troubling relationship-oriented problems to be skyrocketing. Today Cinthia is thrilled to talk with Josh McDowell about the impact of the current circumstances on Generation Z. The two note that our society’s emotional state going into the pandemic contributed to this but also discuss ways that contributing to the lives of others, even while locked down and isolated, is possible and is key to maintaining mental health. Josh McDowell also discusses his own experiences fearing the idea of a Heavenly Father until he experi...2020-09-0643 minConversations with CinthiaShow Up As A Grown-UpDo you ever suspect that our society is low on grown-ups these days?

And what does that tell you about your character? Today Cinthia continues her look at the way the pandemic is revealing things to us about ourselves, our relationships, and our world. She discusses the concept of distress tolerance as addressed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, as well as some ways to begin strengthening your ability to tolerate distress when necessary without turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. She also explores the idea of radical acceptance and emphasizes that acceptance does not have to mean agreement with what is happening. Discomfort is a part of life, and w...2020-05-3143 minConversations with CinthiaCOVID-19: The Great Reveal, Pt 1, with Interview: Marc LucasHas the COVID-19 situation revealed anything to you? Anything about yourself, your family, your friends, your leaders, your society, anything? Cinthia is pleased to again share the microphone with Marc Lucas of "The Form" and Local Ministry Director of KPXQ1360 AM Radio as they discuss the ways the current crisis is serving to increase our awareness of so many things on so many levels. Maybe you are learning things that pleasantly surprise you; maybe you are learning some things it was easier not to know. Whatever the case, Cinthia and Marc assure us that God is with us as He o...2020-05-2443 minConversations with CinthiaWill You Let Someone Help You Carry Your Cross? AND Interview with Michael JohnsonHow do you know when you need help? Are you willing to get help when you need it? This episode has two related parts. The first is an interview with Michael Johnson, President of Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). He shares amazing stories of work happening in the Slavic nations as COVID-19 spreads but, like any sickness, fails to have the last word in light of the Gospel. SGA is helping many, and an opportunity to help is mentioned. Cinthia then continues with a look at how we know when we need to accept help for ourselves to deal with the pr...2020-05-1743 minConversations with CinthiaThe Dilemma of Change during COVID-19We are in a time of tremendous change, and we don't really know where it's headed. Change isn't new, though, and today Cinthia looks at how to deal with it at this time in history. What has changed for you? How are you dealing with it? Cinthia reminds us that, while God is not the author of harm, He is also not surprised by the current changes. These changes cannot prevent Him from making us more like the people He intended us to be. In fact, even while He grieves for the loss and destruction that mars the world He mad...2020-04-2643 minConversations with CinthiaRelationships 101, Part 1: Introduction and Appropriate ExpectationsDoes it ever seem like your education prepared you for everything but life with other humans? Do you ever wish you could get a really practical course in how to manage human relationships? Today Cinthia tells us how to let relationships be complex without making them complicated. She introduces such topics as having appropriate expectations, keeping good boundaries, respecting basic differences in gender, temperament, and personality, and living peacefully in a world that demands our immediate attention all the time. Today's focus is on appropriate expectations. If you've heard people say that you should let go of all expectations so yo...2020-03-0843 minConversations with CinthiaFriendship, Part 1: How Good A Friend Are You?How healthy are your friendships? Cinthia explains that the first step to forming healthier friendships is to be a good friend. If you haven't thought about that since your Sesame Street days, it's time to re-examine what defines friendship and whether you are a good friend. If you, like so many of us, are grateful for Cinthia's wisdom regarding romantic and family relationships, don't miss Cinthia's exploration of the kind of love God intends us to have for our friends. There's another implication to this, as well: God calls us His friends. How can we be better friends to Him a...2018-07-0225 minConversations with CinthiaIncreasing Emotional Pain ToleranceOur culture tends toward tolerating negative behavior but not tolerating negative feelings. Cinthia explains that emotional adulthood actually involves the opposite. She explores the boundaries that make this possible. Cinthia also explains that complaining, whether mentally or aloud, often seems as if it will make us feel better; in reality, though, it tends to make us feel worse, with negative thoughts seeming to reproduce themselves exponentially as we complain. Cinthia encourages us to work on rephrasing our thoughts and comments in ways that help us express our feelings without creating more pain for ourselves.
2018-06-2825 minConversations with CinthiaGuest Author Karen Kingsbury: Grief and StoryKaren Kingsbury is a #1 New York Times bestselling author who joins Cinthia to discuss her new book! She and Cinthia discuss the grief and loss process that plays a pivotal role in the book To the Moon and Back, which involves characters who lost parents in the Oklahoma City bombing. Sometimes story helps us deal with the tragedies of life when we have no other means to do so. Karen and Cinthia discuss how grief can impact our view of God and how addressing this view can be a key to healing.
2018-06-0925 minConversations with CinthiaWhat Women Wish Men Knew, Part 2What makes a woman feel loved, and where does sex fit into the picture? Cinthia explains that women tend to experience their bodies, minds, and environments very differently from the way that men do, and that, for neurological reasons, they tend not to compartmentalize in the same way that men can. Cinthia discusses a woman's need for security and for understanding of the way she experiences stress. Gentlemen, does it seem like you can't win with her sometimes? Is buying her things helpful, and does it matter how much they cost? What are you supposed to say when she worri...2018-06-0525 minConversations with CinthiaAttachment Theory and Attachment to GodIf you've listened much to Conversations With Cinthia, you know that Cinthia encourages growing up emotionally so that we can live in the world as adults. This is different, however, from losing the childlike openness to God that allows us to depend on the King and be part of His Kingdom. Today, Cinthia looks at the attachment needs infants bring to the world and encourages us to re-awaken those needs in ourselves, this time bringing them to the God Who alone is the perfect Caregiver and Who alone can make us safe and whole.
2018-03-1325 minConversations with CinthiaAre You Generous, Part 2Is all generosity created equal? We've probably all seen generosity we didn't trust. What kind of generosity actually helps us? Helps the world? Makes God happy? Today, Cinthia continues looking at ten characteristics of the generosity that God desires for us, plus offers four steps to effective generosity. Also, in case you're wondering why generosity warrants a series on a mental health-related podcast, Cinthia explains what studies tell us about how being generous impacts our own mental health. Generosity can change the culture, whether it's the culture of a society, workplace, or family. Join Cinthia to look at how this wor...2017-12-1925 minConversations with CinthiaRelationship Problems- Successful Solutions, Part 3"Our relationships," says Cinthia in this episode, "are intended to either tighten us up or lighten us up, and that's how we become very balanced people." Cinthia has been coaching us in how to discuss issues effectively instead of in ways that make them worse. Yesterday, she left off talking about couples and housework. Today, Cinthia picks up with strategies for addressing this issue in ways that communicate efforts toward fairness. (This isn't because fairness is really the focal point in a healthy marriage but because making those efforts communicates respect for each other). Next, she discusses how to talk...2017-12-0125 minConversations with CinthiaTop Relationship and Sex Killers, Part 3This may be the last of a series, but today Cinthia is covering the top sex and relationship killer of all: selfishness. Sometimes we're more selfish than we know, especially since Cinthia includes refusal to take care of ourselves under the heading of selfishness since, sooner or later, it tends to reduce what we have to give and force others to take care of us. So what is selfishness? Cinthia explores definitions that are likely to hit home with all of us at some level. She also talks about specific ways we can begin to address our own selfishness...2017-11-2825 minConversations with CinthiaAddiction, Part 1: Don't Judge the AddictHave you ever been impacted by addiction? Your own? Someone else's? Addiction can be devastating, and it can inspire extreme feelings when we encounter it. Sometimes we even engage in harsh judgment of the addict. Cinthia reminds us that nobody seeks to be in the grip of addiction and looks at what factors can cause addictions in the first place; she also covers some basic definitions that will help us better understand what constitutes an addiction and how it differs from a habit, compulsive disorder, etc. Toward the end of the episode, Cinthia addresses the question of harm management and di...2017-11-0625 minConversations with CinthiaForgiveness, Part 4: Forgiving In RelationshipWe've been talking about forgiveness this week as it pertains to all our relationships, but today Cinthia looks at forgiveness in our primary relationships. Forgiveness can seem particularly threatening in our closest relationships because unforgiveness can masquerade as a shield, making us think it's protecting us from deeper hurt in very vulnerable situations. Also, while forgiving people from our past doesn't always involve restoring ongoing relationships, forgiving in our close and current relationships means learning how to deal with the issue in the present. Sometimes we need to discuss these issues with one another, and Cinthia offers guidelines for doi...2017-10-2625 minConversations with CinthiaForgiveness, Part 3:The Deadly Consequences of UnforgivenessUnforgiveness affects us at so many levels, even impacting our physical health. We often don't know how heavy a burden it is to us until we let it go. Today Cinthia looks at some of the ways unforgiveness interacts with us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. She also continues looking at the "how" of forgiveness, encouraging each of us to take another step; she discusses deciding to forgive (which doesn't necessarily change our feelings yet), depending on the Holy Spirit for power to do what is beyond us, and obeying God by praying good things for our enemies. Cinthia also...2017-10-2525 minConversations with CinthiaForgiveness, Part 2: Forgiving Others, Forgiving OurselvesYesterday, Cinthia talked about what forgiveness is and why it matters, and she encouraged us to ask God to show us what we need to forgive. But how do we actually forgive? Today, Cinthia discusses God's ability to see us as more than a collection of the things we have done wrong, no matter how terrible the collection. She explains that we can learn to do the same with ourselves and others. God does not minimize or rationalize our sin, but he separates our sin from who we are. Learning to forgive ourselves and others is about learning to hate w...2017-10-2425 minConversations with CinthiaReal Grownups, Part 5: Ordering Your Value System (first aired 9-29-17)Part of "the art of adulting" (as Cinthia says today) is having your own value system and living by it instead of changing your values depending on who is nearby or what is happening. Value systems, however, can get way out of order, and Cinthia talks today about what it means to get our value systems in check. She discusses personal, spiritual, family, and career values, and she examines what it looks like to honor these values appropriately. For example, how is loving and caring for our families different from doing everything our family members want us to do? What...2017-10-2025 minConversations with CinthiaKinder and Gentler, Part 3: Peace In Your Internal WorldHow negative is your internal world? How do you think toward yourself and others? This week, Cinthia has been discussing the idea that the way we treat ourselves tends to eventually work its way outward and influence the way we treat others. Today Cinthia explains that love does no harm, but it does sometimes cause pain and discomfort for the good of the loved one. Loving ourselves can mean setting limits with ourselves and learning to take responsibility for ourselves. We may need to require more positive behaviors and thoughts from ourselves, and we can't expect harshness to accomplish that...2017-10-1125 minConversations with CinthiaReal Grownups, Part 5: Ordering Your Value SystemPart of "the art of adulting" (as Cinthia says today) is having your own value system and living by it instead of changing your values depending on who is nearby or what is happening.

Change is never easy, even when it's good, and these two friends are spending two days helping listeners transition well from Leslie's Bible teaching to Cinthia's teaching as a Christian psychotherapist. How do we end things well when it's time to go? How do we begin with strength on a new endeavor? How do we pass on the mantle when God calls us to move somewhere else? These two model a transition discussion that covers lots of topic...2017-09-1925 minConversations with CinthiaConversations With Guest Leslie Martin, Part 1Today Cinthia branches out from the weekly show to begin this daily version! She is joined by Pastor Leslie Martin, an old friend Cinthia greatly respects who also occupied this time slot until recently. The two discuss what it means to deal with the grief and loss associated with change - even good change - while also trusting that God is with us as we face it. Cinthia and Leslie also discuss the difference between guilt and shame and the way that Jesus's death and resurrection cover both.
