The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina Griffin

What does Hollywood get wrong about aliens? Plenty, according to Amanda Llewellyn, the co-director of the upcoming documentary UFOs and God, a film centered on examining the modern surge of UFO sightings, the multiple tranches of government disclosures, and society’s obsession with extraterrestrials. Amanda roasts Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day for getting it wrong when it comes to the supernatural phenomena of aliens or UFOs. Amanda says that she encountered aliens and was abducted while she was growing up, and the trauma had a deep impact on her life. Thankfully, she found peace in Christ and offers tremendous insight into UFOs and aliens. This topic is often twisted and sensationalized in all the wrong ways in modern culture.


TAKEAWAYS


UFO or alien activity is spiritual


The phenomenon of UFO sightings doesn’t take place in a vacuum


Spielberg’s film presents a friendly and benign picture of aliens who are not really “demons” but are certainly demonic


UFOs and God is available on September 11, 2026 at https://www.ufosandgod.com/

What keeps pastors from preaching about the Book of Revelation? Is it too complicated to understand? Is it too scary? Absolutely not! Robert Furrow simplifies the conversation about the End Times, reminding us that those who read this important book will be blessed (Rev. 1:3). Robert is the pastor of Calvary Tucson and the host of Truth Quest with Robert Furrow. He gives bite-sized answers for big questions about prophecy, breaking down the signs of the End Times, the prophecies that have been fulfilled, the prophecies that are still to come, and some basic truths about the Tribulation. The best way to interpret the Bible, Robert says, is through the Bible. Revelation is just as important as the other books of the Bible. Don’t be afraid to explore the unknown.


TAKEAWAYS


Revelation is often skipped over because pastors are afraid to touch it for fear of not interpreting it correctly


Israel’s existence as a modern nation-state may be a sign that the End Times are near


Jesus’s appearance in Revelation is very different from in the Gospels


Nobody knows the day or the hour that Christ will return (Matt. 24:36), and scripture says in the Last Days, scoffers will arrive (2 Peter 3:3-4)

Wende Gaikema was totally blindsided when her son, Matthew, committed suicide at just 22 years old, weeks from graduating from Texas A&M University. Navigating the journey of extreme grief in the aftermath of Matthew’s death was unfathomably painful. In retrospect, Wende offers practical wisdom for many of the common issues faced by those experiencing traumatic loss. She discusses the reality of grieving with the hope of Christ - the rawness, bitterness, and pain throughout the healing process. She also highlights the need for others to come alongside those who are grieving, surrounding them for the long haul with loving arms and empathetic hearts. Wende is the founder of Coach Wende and the author of an insightful book, From Heartache to Hope: Navigating the Choices in Your Suicide Loss Journey.

TAKEAWAYS

1 Thess. 4:13-14 reminds us that we do not grieve as people with no hope

Jenita Pace was in such a deep depression that she attempted suicide and ended up hospitalized for ten days. God’s miracle was that her husband forgot his pager and went home to retrieve it, only to stop Jenita from taking her life moments before! Today, she’s a therapist and a professor, but the road to healing was not easy. Jenita talks about the long, slippery slope that can lead to suicide and the lies that we tell ourselves to justify suicide as the only option - when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Time and healing have highlighted the truth in Jenita’s life: Christians carry the Holy Spirit within them. Every human life is precious and has meaning. God can and will use anyone willing. Salvation is not earned; it’s a gift. God loves us just as we are, and in Him, we have infinite value and worth.

TAKEAWAYS

Jenita wrote a devotional, The Healing Name of Jesus: Find Freedom from Depression and Anxiety

Often, the church misunderstands mental health and, as a result, fails to address it

The lies Satan tells us are that “we aren’t worth it,” and that God “can’t use us,” but our pain is our testimony, and our story can save others

Jason Sautel was a firefighter in Oakland, California, when his world came crashing down. As he watched a suicidal man jump to his death off the Oakland Bay Bridge, Jason came face-to-face with his own demons, and there was only one way out: Jesus Christ. Today, Jason is a retired firefighter, a Christian, and the author of a book that gives many people hope: The Rescuer - One Firefighter’s Story of Courage, Darkness, and the Relentless Love That Saved Him. Jason shares the harrowing stories of darkness on the streets of Oakland, confronting the worst kinds of tragedies, and how the grace of Jesus Christ and the good news of the Gospel saved his own life. He wrote his book to let people know they’re not alone in their pain. There is a way out: hell is real, but so is Jesus, and so is the hope of salvation and eternal life.

TAKEAWAYS

Dealing with daily tragedy and trauma as a firefighter took a toll on Jason’s life

The reality of hell should give Christians a sense of urgency to save others

Only the relentless power of God can save us from the darkness of our sins
