Everyone has had fleeting thoughts and questions about their faith, so what do you do with them? Maybe doubt wasn't welcomed in your church or family growing up.

Life In Motion: Why asking for help is so hard Okay, asking for help is hard but aren't friends supposed to be comfortable being honest about how things are really going?

Well, the problem with statements like "Follow your dreams," "BE YOUR OWN HERO," "You be you," is that they're crushing us.

What do you do with grief? That's what Heather and Jamie are talking about in this episode. For some, grief is immediate, fully intense.

In this episode, Whit George and Adam Bush e...
