What happens when the rain of life feels overwhelming?


This week on The Nicole Crank Show, we’re talking about mental health and how to navigate those stormy seasons when it feels like everything’s pouring down on you.

We’ll talk about practical ways to shield your mind and spirit when the weight of it all feels like too much.

"How To Stand Out When You Feel Stuck" with Joel Smallbone

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the middle? We watch our best friend have a baby. We watch another good friend get a promotion. We watch our cousin earn their doctorate degree, and we didn't even go to college. And we think, what about me? I mean, I've been working. I've been struggling and bending over backwards to do all the things, and nobody is even paying attention to the fact that I do have some talent and I do matter... Is anybody seeing my hard work? Today my guest is Joel Smallbone of the band King And Country and actor and director of the hit movie, "Unsung Hero." He is the middle child in a big family and his sister is the celebrated singer, Rebecca St. James. She's was making it big while he's over on the sideline going, "but I can sing!" He wanted to share his gift with the world, but he wasn't an overnight success. So today you are feeling stuck like a middle child, or somebody overlooked, or somebody supporting somebody else, or like everybody else has got the middle of the cookie but you don't... I want to remind you that sometimes the best part, it's in the middle, and God knows just the right time for you to enjoy it. Are you ready? Let's go.





"How To Handle Transitions" with Candace Cameron Bure

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Don’t judge your life by where you are now, because where you are now is not where God is taking you. Transitions in life are real and they are hard! So I found a friend who just did a movie as an executive producer but she didn’t start there. She was once D.J. Tanner from Full House. She was ‘Deej’ and she always had this resolution at the end. And she was always this great teenager who was in the right place and doing the right thing. I didn’t know she could be a boss!!! Candace Cameron Bure laid it all down in Hollywood to go home and be a stay-at-home mom for a decade and came back stronger than ever starring in, like, a billion movies on the Hallmark Channel and started producing movies. It’s all about how we handle transition. She recently produced a movie called “Unsung Hero” that went number two at the box office. Change can be hard, but it can also make you successful. So today I want you to talk with her about some of these transitions in life and how you can do it as well. Are you ready? Let’s go!
