Welcome back to the “Help me Abide,” podcast where Today, we’re delving into a topic that’s increasingly relevant in our digitally driven world: the dangers of too much screen time and its profound effects on our mental, spiritual, and emotional health.
The average person worldwide spends approximately 6 hours and 40 minutes on screens daily. In the US, this number is slightly higher, averaging 7 hours and 4 minutes. A significant portion of this screen time is dedicated to social media, with the average user spending about 2 hours and 24 minutes on these platforms daily.
In this episode, we’ll be joined by Mrs Tammy Goddard, The pastors wife of my home church. Together, we’ll discuss how excessive screen time can contribute to anxiety, depression and bad habits that our children are developing. We’ll also explore practical strategies for achieving a healthier balance.
My hope and prayer is that this episode will not only bring you awareness of this evolving issue but will encourage you to make some positive changes.
Ready to be equipped and encouraged? Let’s get into the heart of today’s episode.”

This message was preached during our church's Fundamentalist Conference last fall. It is by far the best message I have ever heard with regard to modesty. Pastor Ross was gentle yet firm. He was honest and kind. He propelled me to want to do better. I sincerely hope and pray you will be helped, encouraged and convicted by this amazing message preached by Pastor Jerry Ross, pastor of the Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Jasonville Indiana.

Mrs. Goddard graciously asked me to speak to the teenage girls this year at our annual Ladies Conference. I chose to speak about bitterness. This is a very personal topic for me since I suffered through it while I was in Ghana, West Africa. And if I’m honest with myself, I have had many roots of bitterness that I have had to weed out over the years and will continue to have to until I see my Saviour face to face. I sincerely hope this lesson will be a blessing to you and help you towards forgiveness. Here we gooooo.

I've told you before, but I'll say it again: Mrs Goddard is one of my all time favorite lady speakers. She has a deep understanding of Scripture, she is practical, and relatable. This session was taught at our churches 30th Annual SoCal Baptist Ladies Conference this past April. I not only enjoyed listening to it in person I enjoyed it again when I re-listened to it in preparation for this episodes release. This lesson is about trials.... so sit back relax and let Mrs Tammy Goddard help you persevere through hard times.

I would be remiss if I did not thank all of you so much for praying for my daughter, Brooklyn, during her spinal fusion surgery. It meant a lot to me and my family. We were overwhelmed by the love and support we received from so many of you. Brooklyn's recovery is going well, and it's amazing to witness her strength and resilience. Your prayers and kind words have truly made us feel comforted and reassured. Thank you from the bottom of my hearts for being there for my family during this trying time.
This summer we will be releasing five new bonus episodes. This one will be the first half of Tracie Burns episode aired during season 4. Episode number 42: entitled Help me! Clean my house! I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed interviewing. She's a treasure and a true friend.

As we conclude this practical season I want to sum up my take away through a story:
My son recently asked me my opinion about a certain genre of Christian music. He mentioned wishing that the Lord would make certain topics more clear so that he would know without a doubt if what he was doing was right or wrong. He then asked me how I made my decisions about topics which are not black and white in the Bible.
It took time for me to formulate words to express my inward thoughts, but eventually I asked him, “On Saturday mornings is your flesh excited to get out of bed, put on a shirt and tie and go soul winning?” He answered, “no.” And then I asked him, “but after you go is there something inside you that is glad you did?” He answered, “yes!” Then I asked him, “In the morning when you are doing your daily Bible reading and prayer, is your flesh excited to get up a little earlier, to calm your mind and spirit, and commune with the Lord?” He answered, “no.” Then I asked him, “But after you read and prayed is there something inside you that is glad you did?” He answered, “yes!” Then I put on the genre of music he was talking about. He said, "No!!! Mom please don't do that." (I think he was embarrassed to listen to that music in front of me.) I kept it on and I asked, “When you listen to this genre of Christian music do you have to fight your flesh and listen to your spirit in order continue listening?” He said, "No." Then I put on a Ron Hamilton song. I asked, "Does this appeal to your flesh?" He said, "No." I asked him to listen to the words and we just sat there. Then I asked him, "Was your spirit fed through that song? He agreed it was. I said, "There is your clear answer."
To me, the enemy fights me tooth and nail for anything that is good! He does not want me to yield to my spirit he wants me to yield to my flesh. When I put on good godly Christian music, my flesh dies and my spirit wins and afterwards I am glad that I did! (The Apostle Paul writes about this inward fight at the end of Romans 7.)
Thats what this season is all about. Guests helping us die to our flesh and live to our spirit. Today is tough one. My number one nemesis. My mouth…

To our loyal listeners, thank you so much for tuning into another episode. Often, as I listen to a new episode that has aired, the enemy whispers doubts in my ear, suggesting I'm wasting my time and effort on a garbage product.... sometimes I am strong enough to combat him on my own but often times I don't need to because I receive an encouraging message from one of you letting me know that you were helped and that the podcast is not in vain. So again, thank you for listening and encouraging my heart to continue making safe and helpful content for fellow christian sisters around the world.

Today, I am thrilled to introduce you to my friend, Tracie Burns. Tracie and I have no problem talking... because of this, when we recorded this episode it was over 2 and a half hours long...

This episode will cover our physical and spiritual house cleaning, and then this summer during our bonus episode season we will release another episode where Tracie will give us her full testimony. Tracie is an experienced house cleaner and Christian; in this episode, she offers insights that go beyond the surface to help us cultivate environments that nurture our souls.

Welcome back to "Help Me Abide," where this season we’re featuring practical interviews to HELP US! Today, we have a special guest who is sure to bring a fresh perspective and a heart full of wisdom. Please join me in welcoming Cecily Hamilton. Cecily is here to share her insights on how the right music can resonate with our Spirit and draw us closer to our Saviour. I know music is such a hot topic and many “good” people draw their lines in very different places. With that in mind, I love what Shelly Hamilton recently wrote:
“At this time, possibly more than any other time in our history, we need to teach our young people concerning biblical principles about worldliness and about living a pure life. Music comes from the Greek word "mousa," which means to muse or meditate. When you hear music, it stays in your memory. Since the music you listen to will be permanently stored in your mind, you must choose your music carefully.”
Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or simply someone seeking encouragement, this episode promises to be a blessing. So, sit back, relax, and let's dive into a melodious journey full of practical wisdom with Cecily Hamilton!
