Do you ever look at your child and wonder:
Is this ADHD? Or is this just childhood?

Today, I’m joined by Sara Hartley, author of The Purposefully Me Series, to talk about ADHD in children from a realistic, compassionate, and research-based lens.

Together, we break down:

• The most overlooked signs and symptoms of ADHD in kids

• What’s actually happening in the brain when children whine, complain, melt down, or seek constant stimulation

• Why some kids chase dopamine — screens, snacks, danger, noise

• Parenting a neurodivergent vs neurotypical child (and why your strategies must shift)

• Emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity

• The difference between “won’t” and “can’t yet”

• Practical strategies to increase regulation, confidence, and connection at home

If you’re parenting a child who is always bored, never satisfied, complains constantly, or struggles to focus — this episode will give you clarity, relief, and actual tools, not shame.

In this episode, Lindsey and Jesse Maestas sit down with Bob and Linda Lotich, authors of Simple Money, Rich Life, to talk about what it truly means to see your money as God's money—and how that perspective can completely change the way you live, give, and plan for the future.

Bob and Linda share how they started as a couple earning minimum wage and dreamed of giving away millions of dollars—and how God helped them make that happen.

Together, they unpack the power of generosity, the pitfalls of "YOLO" spending, and how to build a life that reflects eternal impact over temporary comfort.

In this episode, we cover:

• What it means to view your finances as God's assets that you're managing, not owning

• Why "YOLO thinking" can become self-serving instead of freeing

• How radical generosity transforms both the giver and the receiver

• What happens when you give beyond your comfort zone

• Practical ways to live simply, earn purposefully, and give abundantly

In this episode, Lindsey Maestas tackles the outrage and confusion surrounding Charlie Kirk's death with a bold Christian perspective.

• Why casual Christianity is no longer acceptable — lukewarm faith won't survive in a world that mocks conviction.

• Why celebrating murder is pure evil — and how Christians must reject a culture that cheers for death.

• The weaponization of memory & "martyr" narratives — how both sides twist a man's life and death for political gain.

• The silencing of dissent and free discourse — why cancel culture threatens both faith and freedom.

• God's uncompromising view on murder — the sanctity of life and the danger of playing judge.

• God's call to radical love over destructive division — how believers can be peacemakers in a fractured, hostile world.

This is a wake-up call for Christians who are tired of surface-level faith and cultural compromise. With biblical truth and real talk on politics and discipleship, Lindsey calls us higher: to boldness, holiness, and unity in a world that's tearing itself apart.
