<p>CORRECTION: We screwed up the difference between a watch and warning numerous times in this episode. Hopefully that doesn&#39;t hinder the message too much. We will try to do better with our weather-related metaphors in the future, but honestly, we&#39;re still confused, so it&#39;s not looking good.</p><p><br></p><p>In this upcoming discussion, we’re digging deep into the world of soul care—what it actually means, why it matters for you and future generations, and how to spot the heavy &quot;ingredients&quot; brewing in your life before they turn into a full-blown tornado. We’re chatting about everything from King David’s grief to epigenetics, navigating a &quot;civil war&quot; in our hearts, and learning how to step into true freedom through Christ. Grab your notebook, because this one is packed with truth! Brought up a landmark case study from Jay Adams&#39; book about a devastating flood where a Bible school lost many loved ones. I couldn&#39;t recall the location details during recording, but that study was based on the 1972 Black Hills Flood in Rapid City, South Dakota. It highlighted how believers grounded in faith processed tragedy with an anchor of hope that shocked secular researchers.</p><p>Books Mentioned in This Episode:</p><p>A Theology of Christian Counseling: More Than Redemption by Jay E.
