Together with his wife, Jill, he later co-founded Kingdom Creativity International to disciple writers and creatives worldwide.

Episode Description:
Have you ever wondered why you feel compelled to build, write, teach, invent, design, or create?

What if that desire wasn’t accidental?

In this inspiring conversation, Barry Scott Young sits down with award-winning author Brae Wyckoff to discuss why every believer was created to create. They explore overcoming fear, discovering purpose, stewarding creativity, and learning how God uses ordinary people to create extraordinary Kingdom impact.

MY NEW NORM Podcast – S6 E10
Guest: Kent Kelley- Gobal Strategist, founder of Compassion International

Episode: WORLDVIEW: Who’s Shaping Yours?
Host: Barry Scott Young

What shapes the way you see the world?
Whether we realize it or not, every one of us has a worldview. It influences how we think, make decisions, view relationships, handle challenges, and understand truth. The real question is not if you have a worldview—but who is shaping it?

In this episode of MY NEW NORM Podcast, Barry Scott Young sits down with longtime friend Kent Kelley, a global strategist and big-picture thinker with Compassion International, to discuss one of the most important issues facing believers today: developing and maintaining a Biblical worldview.

Together they explore:
* What a worldview really is
* How culture, media, education, and relationships shape our thinking
* Why so many people are influenced by ideas they have never examined
* The difference between a cultural worldview and a Biblical worldview
* Why discipleship is essential in shaping how we think and live
* How believers can intentionally align their lives with God’s truth
* Practical ways to evaluate who and what is influencing your perspective

Kent shares valuable insights from his global experiences and challenges listeners to think beyond the immediate issues of life and consider the larger spiritual picture. This conversation is both encouraging and challenging as it calls us to move beyond simply attending church and toward becoming fully discipled followers of Jesus.

If you have ever wondered why people see the same world so differently—or if you want to strengthen your own Biblical foundation—this episode is for you.
Remember: If you don’t intentionally build a Biblical worldview, someone else will gladly build one for you.

About Kent Kelley:
Kent Kelley has devoted over forty-five years to discipleship training across three continents. As the visionary founder of Crossroads International, he has woven discipleship into the organizational and mission goals of Crossroads and its bases in South Africa, India, and Pakistan. Prior to this, he spent 15 years as a Youth Pastor and Discipleship Pastor in Southern and Northern California.

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.
