“Ghosting” is a new phenomenon that sadly doesn’t only affect our teens and young adults. To be “ghosted” means someone you care about or are in a relationship with simply ceases communication with you, cuts you off from their social media, and disappears without explanation. But are there warning signs of this behavior that you can see in another person? Listen as renowned author, licensed counselor and professional therapist Dr. Gregory Jantz and Dr. Tim Clinton examine a growing trend they are seeing with many of today’s relationships, “here today, ghosted tomorrow.”
Life, Love, Faith, and Family, with cohosts Dr. Tim Clinton, and his son, Dr. Zach Clinton, offers timely and topical conversations with national leaders in faith, mental health, and family advocacy. Anchored in a biblical perspective to help you navigate today’s culture, each episode provides a word of hope and encouragement to help strengthen your life, your love, and your relationships with those you love most. Each day, we want to remind you that God loves you and is there for you! Our goal is to equip you to face everyday challenges, move from “survive” to “thrive,” and embrace the life that God has designed for you. Filled with wisdom, testimonials, timeless truths, and both clinical and practical tips to address the emotional and spiritual needs that most often affect people, the program covers everything from stress and anxiety to trust, intimacy, grace, and even forgiveness. Life, Love, Faith, and Family explores the dynamics of marriage, raising children, and building a better life for yourself and your family.
