Courage to Hurt & Heal
Pain has a way of writing stories about us—stories that aren't true but feel impossible to escape. And sometimes, faith communities accidentally teach us to bury those stories instead of heal them. Courage to Hurt & Heal is where hosts Vicki Diemert and Dave Shrein bring honest conversations about the wounds we carry and the healing that's actually available. Vicki brings her experience as a Biblical counselor and story work facilitator, offering practical tools for naming what hurts and rewriting the narratives that have kept you stuck. Together, they explore how faith becomes a genuine source of healing rather than a way to rush past pain. This podcast delivers wisdom for ordinary life—not just crisis moments—because healing isn't reserved for rock bottom. It's available now.

Dave and Vicki walk through what happens when you feel overlooked, undermined, or publicly dismissed. And more importantly, how to actually process it — not ignore it, not catastrophize it, but move through it with cla...

Vicki and Dave talk strategy:
- Why having an exit plan might actually help you stay longer
- How to interrupt a conversation that's going sideways without making it weird

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable.
