MY NEW NORM Podcast — S6 E9

Guest: Bill Parker- Experience Matters Counseling
Episode: Navigating Narcissism

Host: Barry Scott Young

What happens when love turns into control?
When every conversation becomes manipulation…
every disagreement becomes your fault…
and you slowly lose yourself trying to keep the peace?

In this episode of the MY NEW NORM Podcast, host Barry Scott Young sits down with mental health counselor Bill Parker for one of the most important conversations of the season.

Together, they unpack the reality of narcissistic behavior, emotional control, toxic relationship patterns, and the silent damage many people carry behind closed doors.

This episode is not about internet labels or trendy buzzwords.
It’s about real people… real emotional wounds… and recognizing unhealthy patterns before they destroy your peace, identity, and relationships.

In this bold and honest conversation, we discuss:
* Signs of narcissistic behavior
* Emotional manipulation and control
* Why people stay in toxic relationships
* Gaslighting and emotional confusion
* The impact on marriages, families, and mental health
* How to begin healing and rebuilding healthy boundaries

Some people don’t realize they are slowly disappearing inside a relationship…
until it’s almost too late.

This episode could help someone finally understand what they’ve been living through.

MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E8
Guest: James Igani- Author / Wellness Coach
Episode: Why Our Food is Making Us Sick
Host: Barry Scott Young

Show Notes
Episode Overview
What if the very food you trust… is quietly working against you?
In this eye-opening episode, Barry sits down with wellness coach and author James Igani to uncover the uncomfortable truth about today’s food system—and why so many Americans are sicker than ever before.
This isn’t about dieting.
This isn’t about trends.
This is about truth, awareness, and taking back control of your health.

We Discuss:
* How modern food has been engineered, not grown
* The hidden ingredients quietly impacting your body
* The connection between food, chronic illness, and long-term health
* Why convenience may be costing you your wellness
* How the food industry influences what ends up on your plate
* Simple, practical steps to begin reclaiming your health today

Power Quote from the Episode
“You don’t lose weight to improve your health…
you improve your health to lose weight.”
— James Igani

The Reality Check
We are living in a time where food is no longer just nourishment—it’s a business.
And too often, profit is prioritized over people.
This episode challenges you to think differently about what you eat… and why it matters.

Key Takeaway
If you don’t take control of your health, something else will.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E7
Guest: Lynne Rienstra- Author / Communicator
Episode: Going In and Coming Out of Hiding

Welcome to the MY NEW NORM Podcast, where we talk with real people facing real change and discovering what life looks like on the other side.

I’m your host, Barry Scott Young, and today we’re joined by author and speaker Lynne Rienstra, whose book Sacred Refuge explores what it means to find safety, healing, and the presence of God even in life’s most difficult seasons.

About Guest:
Lynne Rienstra, is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan. Through her mentoring, speaking, and writing, she invites women to exchange the lies they've believed for the truth God speaks over them in Scripture. The result? Freedom like they've never experienced before.

Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected.
Pain shows up.
Loss hits hard.
Trauma leaves questions that don’t have easy answers.

And in those moments, many people quietly ask a question they never thought they would ask…
Where is God in the middle of all this?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed…
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy…
This conversation is for you.

MY NEW NORM PODCAST – S6 E6
Guest: Barry DeHart
Episode: Beaten, Broken, and Addicted — Now 40 Years Free
Host: Barry Scott Young

Before we begin:
This episode includes real and raw conversations around suicide, addiction, and deep personal struggle. If you’re walking through something heavy right now, you’re not alone. We encourage you to listen with care—and reach out for help if needed.
In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

There are stories… and then there are stories that stop you in your tracks. This is one of them.
From a childhood shaped by pain…
To training in martial arts under legends like Chuck Norris…
To a life spiraling into violence, brokenness, and addiction…Barry DeHart lived it all.

But this episode isn’t about where he started.
It’s about what didn’t finish him.
-Addiction didn’t win.
-Brokenness didn’t define him.
-His past didn’t get the final word.

Today…
Barry celebrates 40 YEARS OF SOBRIETY.

In This Episode:
• The hidden pain behind strength and success
• How addiction takes hold — and how it can be broken
• The turning point that changed everything
• What 40 years of freedom really looks like
• A message for anyone still fighting their battle

Why You Need to Hear This:
Because someone you know…
Is still in the fight.

And this story proves:
Freedom is possible
Change is real
Your past does NOT own your future

Hosted by Barry Scott Young
Real people. Real stories. Real change.

Resource:
Steps Toward a Life of Freedom:
1. Get Honest—For Real- Freedom starts when the excuses stop.
You can’t heal what you keep hiding.

2. Decide—No More “Someday- Change doesn’t happen by accident.
It begins with a moment: “I’m done living this way.

3. Don’t Fight Alone- Isolation feeds addiction.
Freedom grows in community—find someone who knows your story.

4. Replace, Don’t Just Remove- You can’t just quit something—you have to fill the space.
New habits. New rhythms. New direction.

5. Build Daily Discipline- Freedom isn’t a one-time breakthrough—
it’s a daily decision repeated over time.

6. Renew Your Mind- Your life follows your thinking.
Change what you believe, and you change how you live.

7. Expect the Fight- Temptation will come. Old patterns will call.
Be ready—not surprised.

8. Get Back Up—Fast- You may stumble. Don’t stay down.
Failure is a moment, not your identity.

9. Serve Others- Freedom grows when you stop living only for yourself.
Help someone else—and you strengthen your own breakthrough.

10. Hold Onto Hope- No matter how far you’ve gone—
freedom is still possible.

Freedom isn’t found in one big moment…
it’s built in small decisions—every single day.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E3
Episode: The Dismantling of Fatherhood
Guest: Pastor Chad Harris
Host: Barry Scott Young

In this powerful, unfiltered episode, Barry Scott Young sits down with Pastor Chad Harris to confront one of the most urgent cultural and spiritual crises of our time:
The silencing and sidelining of fathers.

Pastor Chad Harris, Lead pastor at Crossing Church- Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Church info: www.crossingchatt.com

Episode Purpose:
To call men back to biblical fatherhood, restore dignity to the role, and confront the silence of the faith community while culture sidelines fathers.

Show Notes:
The dismantling of fatherhood is not accidental.
It is systemic, cultural, and deeply consequential.

This is not about masculinity.
This is about responsibility, presence, and legacy.

What Does “Dismantling” Mean?
To dismantle fatherhood is to undermine, minimize, or remove the role of fathers from the family—emotionally, spiritually, and socially—until their presence feels optional instead of essential.

How Fatherhood Is Being Dismantled
1. Cultural Messaging
Fathers are often portrayed as unnecessary, incompetent, or even dangerous. Media narratives replace honor with humor and authority with ridicule. Over time, this reshapes expectations—especially for boys growing up without a model to follow.

2. Redefinition of Family
When fatherhood is redefined out of the family structure, children lose a vital source of identity and stability. Scripture consistently presents fathers as anchors of generational faith and responsibility (see Book of Malachi).

3. Absence Normalized
Father absence—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—has become culturally tolerated. The consequences are measurable: fractured identity, increased behavioral struggles, and spiritual drift.

4. Silencing of Fathers
Men are often discouraged from leading, disciplining, or guiding for fear of being labeled harsh or outdated. The result is passivity, not peace.

You don’t erase men first.
You erase fathers.

The Impact on Children and Society
When fathers are removed:
• Homes weaken
• Children drift
• Identity fractures
• Faith becomes fragile

When fatherhood collapses, society doesn’t become freer—it becomes fatherless.

The Call Forward
The solution is not louder arguments, but restored responsibility.
• Fathers must return to presence, not passivity
• Families must honor the role, not replace it
• The church must speak clearly, not cautiously

A culture that doesn’t know God will always struggle to understand fathers.
But a generation without fathers will struggle to know God.

Fatherhood is not the problem.
Its absence is.

Podcast: MY NEW NORM Podcast
Episode: Season 6, Episode 2 — “Abandoned, Broken and Healed”
Guest: Roger Helle

PG- 13
SHOW NOTES
THIS IS NOT A SAFE STORY.

This is a REAL. RAW. UNFILTERED conversation about pain, war, survival, and REDEMPTION.

In this episode of the MY NEW NORM Podcast, Roger Helle shares a life story forged in abandonment, combat, and near death — and how God met him in the darkest moments and rewrote his future.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE

ABANDONED AT THE START

Roger opens up about being abandoned by his parents, a wound that shaped his identity and fueled years of pain.

VIETNAM WAR – INTO THE FIRE

Roger served in the Vietnam War, where courage met chaos. He was severely wounded in combat and earned some of the highest military honors:

-Bronze Star Medal with Combat “V”

-Three Purple Heart Medals

-Multiple additional military honors

PRONOUNCED AS GOOD AS DEAD

Doctors told his brother he wasn’t expected to survive. What happened next will leave you speechless.

FROM BROKEN TO HEALED

Through faith, grit, and God’s intervention, Roger moved from physical and emotional devastation to healing, purpose, and mission.

TRAUMA DOESN’T GET THE FINAL WORD

Childhood abandonment. Combat trauma. Near death. None of it disqualified him.

YOUR “NEW NORM” CAN CHANGE

If you’re stuck, wounded, or barely holding on — this episode is for you.

WITH GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

This story doesn’t point to human strength.

It points to DIVINE REDEMPTION.
