What if the “normal” way women are taught to do health is actually making them sicker? Bethany sits down with culture commentator and wellness advocate Alex Clark to unpack a surprising journey, from a teenage diet of Rice Krispie treats and chicken nuggets to becoming one of the leading voices in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Alex shares how the pandemic sparked an awakening in her own health, opening her eyes to Big Pharma, Big Food, the hidden side effects of hormonal birth control, and why so many millennial women are struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They also talk about beauty culture, Botox, autoimmune issues, trusting God with our bodies, and the privilege of nourishing our families well. Guest Bio: Alex Clark is a cultural commentator, podcast host, and outspoken wellness advocate leading the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. After years of working in radio and media—known in Louisville as the “Chicken Nugget Princess”—Alex underwent a complete transformation when she began uncovering the hidden realities of Big Pharma, Big Food, hormonal birth control, and America’s chronic illness crisis. She now hosts Culture Apothecary, a Turning Point USA–produced health and wellness show that blends research, activism, and real-life solutions for families seeking to break free from the standard American lifestyle. Alex has testified in the Senate alongside Bobby Kennedy Jr. and continues to educate women on informed consent, hormone health, toxic exposures, food quality, and living in alignment with God’s design for the body. Her mission is simple: empower Americans—especially young women—to reclaim their health, question the cultural narratives around wellness, and return to real, nutrient-dense living.

Adam and Bethany are back with their Diving Deeper series, and welcome back Pastor John Bombaro to unpack one of the most debated topics in modern American Christianity: infant baptism.

Formerly a missionary and church planter in Kauai, Hawaii, Pastor John holds advanced degrees in theology and has taught and served globally.

Bethany and Adam sit down with Chris McKenna, the founder of Protect Young Eyes, to talk about one of the most important and heartbreaking challenges families face today—children being exposed to explicit content at younger and younger ages. Chris shares his own powerful story of early exposure, the years of secret struggle that followed, and how God brought healing and redemption into his marriage. Together, they unpack how modern technology has made explicit content more accessible than ever—even on school-issued devices—and why this matters for every home, not just those facing an obvious crisis. Chris walks through a five-layer “digital safety pyramid” that helps parents take practical steps: from building trust and healthy conversations, to setting boundaries on devices, locations, and apps—all grounded in a foundation of faith, connection, and grace. If you’re raising children in the digital age and wondering how to protect their hearts and minds—without losing yours—this episode is for you. Guest Bio: Chris McKenna: Founder, Protect Young Eyes, and President of The Better Tech Project non-profit. Chris is a respected digital safety voice, creating valuable and practical resources for families and schools. His impactful 2019 testimony before the US Senate initiated a series of hearings to further online child protection policy. Years of gritty effort earned PYE the 2020 Dignity Defense Award from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the 2024 Child Safety Award from The Phase Alliance. Recent state-level legislation co-authored by Chris - the Child Device Protection Bill - passed in Utah and moved through multiple chambers in six other states. It will force devices to enable existing content filters when activated by a minor. He is a technical advisor to Angel Kids AI and works closely with digital safety advocates and legislators to craft policies that reign in abusive technologies. As a representative of the Human Change Movement, Chris spoke at the 2024 and 2025 World Economic Forum. Under his guidance, the Protect Young Eyes team conducts presentations worldwide to parents, professionals, and schools, and gained recognition by being featured in the Childhood 2.0 movie. Their website, courses, and private parent community show caregivers step-by-step how to prepare and protect their children in digital spaces. Chris cherishes family, including road trips with his four children, connecting with nature, running, romping with his pups, and almost anything sweet.

Can food really heal your body and your family? In this episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam sit down with Fallon Lee, a holistic health advocate, writer, and mama of three, to unpack her powerful story of healing—both physical and spiritual. Fallon vulnerably shares how her health began unraveling in early adulthood and escalated after becoming a mother. But when her infant son began experiencing severe eczema, anaphylactic allergies, and respiratory issues, Fallon went from surviving to seeking. What followed was a deep dive into ancestral nutrition, food freedom, and holistic wellness that not only brought her Hashimoto’s into remission but helped her son heal in ways doctors said weren’t possible. Guest Bio: Fallon Lee is a holistic health writer, wife, and homeschooling mom of three boys. Her passion for real food, natural healing, and home-centered living was sparked by her son’s extreme health challenges and her own autoimmune journey.

Her heart is to empower women to create peaceful, healing homes—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
