Dr. Jeanne Kuckelman is the founder of Inside Out Christian Counseling, a Non-Profit organization formed in 2002 following a passion to bring “authentic and lasting change” to those seeking help for their broken hearts. Her passion led to the development of several other centers, and to the training of other counselors. From an office nestled in the corner of rural Iowa, she has ministered utilizing the APS report in Brazil, Germany, Bulgaria, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jordan. Inside Out has also extended its reach into more than 15 states through way of video conferencing.
Jeanne has been licensed as a Clinical Christian Counselor for 21 years by the NCCA. She holds her doctorate with Cornerstone University, and a master’s from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Additionally, she is a Clinical Supervisor, and International Representative. Jeanne is also a Certified Temperament Coach.
Recently, Jeanne has found the Temperament tool to be of great use in ministering to those on the mission field as well as church leaders in cooperation with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. The extensive use of this tool regardless of cultural context continues to be evident. Jeanne’s greatest passion is to sit with the hearts of those who are looking for a way back to their authentic self.
To peer into the brokenness of another’s soul may be the most sacred privilege any of us can know. In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Jared along with his wife Cairistiona, interview Jeanne to understand what is temperament, and how does it affect the way we live our day to day lives.

What makes you a credible fitness expert? Your degrees, years of experience, where you work… or is that all secondary?
Does your ripped physique solidify your authority?
Is it a requirement to have overdeveloped biceps, pecs, delts and calves or washboard abs to be seen as ‘a legitimate trainer’ in the eyes of others?
Long time strength coach and personal trainer Chris Wilson discusses his thoughts and philosophy when it comes to his 25 years in the fitness and health profession.
Regardless if you have 20” arms, walk around at 8% body fat or have a year-round tan to better showcase your shredded 6-pack, it does not necessarily make you a good coach.
A quality instructor and coach has far more to do with passion, knowledge, experience, and character… and yes, some muscles too!
Hope you enjoy this fun solo episode as Coach Chris speaks from the heart and does not hold back!

No one has answered the two-year-old lingering question “what is a woman” quite like Jennifer Strickland has.
Let me tell you why: Jennifer is not afraid to address how this question is so deeply answered in the Bible.
And the Strong By Design team couldn't agree more with her platform and voice in such a troubling era of gender misinformation.
After two years of research and Jennifer’s previous experience as a former model and established speaker for a variety of topics, her knowledge and passion for explaining what a woman is reaches beyond the surface. It moves well past Genesis and into the depths of the Hebrew language.
In this special episode on SBD, Jennifer shares the deep wisdom she gained while writing her newest book, I Am a Woman.
In her book Jennifer expands on the deep, biblical, Hebrew meanings of man and woman, where it comes from, and how this information can be used to free men and women across the world who are struggling to grasp ‘Truth’ since the feminist movement that bred our culture's gender identity crisis. The same movement that emasculated and demoralized men.
Jennifer will not only inspire you to use your Godly role and voices to lead more people to Christ, but teach to be a voice for others in these times of trials (1 Peter 1:7).
"The truth is we're created male and female with purpose and intention." — Jennifer Strickland

Our final episode highlighting the amazing men, women, and kids at the first ever Rise Up Con event in Sevierville, TN., just outside of Knoxville.
Meet Jared Moon, from Proverbs 22:6 - his organization helps to reunite incarcerated men and women with their children. Their purpose is to heal these families and support them while most people turn their backs. The heart of their process is rooted in the 4 E's which are to: Encourage, Engage, Educate and Empower.
As Jared said during our conversation, "We bring the humanity back to the human that's behind bars."
Fun Side Note: Jared Moon had a booth next to ours on Day 1 of the event. We quickly got to talking and we became instant friends! He and another representative from his organization will be visiting our facility in Clearwater, FL. to have a longer, more in-depth discussion about what Proverbs226 is doing to help reunite families.
Meet Laura Klassen, founder and director of Choice42, a Christian, Anti-Abortion organization. Choice42 is pro-women, pro-baby and pro-life!
They are based in Canada but their reach is worldwide. Laura is also known as an anti-abortion influencer with some fantastic content on YouTube, just look for the pink wig!
Choice42 website: CHOICE42 connects online with abortion-minded women from all over the world and helps them to cancel their abortion appointments. With the help of our supporters, we are able to provide emotional and practical support to women to empower them to choose their babies.
And lastly, meet WWE Bros superstar Lucas.
Lucas visited the Strong By Design booth several times and after receiving lots of free gifts spinning our fun prize wheel, we encouraged him to join us on the show for a few minutes. He and his brothers are huge WWE wrestling fans and have a fun YouTube channel. He was a delight to speak with.
Both Jared Moon and Laura Klassen are fighting for our children, kids like Lucas. All life is special and matters, we must continue to do anything possible to save our children.

Have you ever heard of the Wild brothers? Well hosts Chris Wilson and Jared Haley met them at Rise Up Con.
Meet Morgan and Hudson, two of the four Wild brothers from Wild Brothers TV. They are the elder brothers but refused to say better lol. As their name infers, these boys are a bit 'wild' (yes, that's their real last name) and adventurous living several years of their lives (15) in southeast Asia (Indonesia) as missionaries spreading the Gospel.
They lived side by side with the Indonesian people, fully immersed in their culture and customs doing things like hunting, exploring, building and even learning the language.
Morgan and Hudson (and their younger brothers Kian and Asher) see following Christ as the ultimate adventure. They are currently filmmakers living in Florida continuing to explore and find adventure here in the US. They are truly fascinating young men, creating entertaining content on Wild Brothers TV and documenting their lives through filmmaking to share with the world.

Ever meet someone and after just 5 minutes they feel like an old friend?
MYFIRESIDE.com
Our guest today on the Strong By Design podcast, Adam Kovar, is a Marine Corp Veteran, Patriot, husband, father and hardworking entrepreneur. He is a guy that you instantly feel connection with if you love our country, what it stands for and why it's worth fighting for. And there is nothing better at bringing people together for hours than a warm fire on a cool night.
At Rise Up Con in the beautiful mountains of southeast Tennessee, hosts Chris Wilson and Jared Haley had the good pleasure of seeing Adam's MYFIRESIDE booth. An amazing display of handcrafted, made in the USA firepits. The kind of firepits that make you want to sit down with people you know (or don't know) and engage in hours of conversation beside a roaring fire. But his firepits are like nothing you've ever seen before...
His story of meeting actor, tv host and true patriot, Kirk Cameron, by the roadside a few years back is absolutely amazing. Sometimes in life it's just about hard work, passion and grit... and of course meeting a guy with 3.5 million followers on Facebook!
If you want the BEST FIREPIT EVER, you have to visit Adam's website and take a peek at the incredible firepits he makes himself and sells from his garage. We can't wait to get our own customized pits. You will never have a boring fire again! Please enjoy our final conversation of the event with our new friend Adam.

Sitting down with humble, sincere and genuine people never gets old.
RiseUpCon.com
Today on the Strong By Design podcast hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson are blessed to speak with animator and story teller Davy Liu and award winning actor Ben Davies.
Live from Rise Up Con in Sevierville, TN., these two men are using their amazing talents to spread God's truth through storytelling.
Davy Liu, an outstanding animator who worked for Disney for several years on projects like Mulan, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast decided it was time to do things his way. Now he uses Jesus as the example in his storytelling on screen and in his children's books. As Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." His character 'Kendu' comes from this powerful scripture.
Ben Davies, an award-winning actor from films Courageous, Fearless Faith, I'm Not Ashamed, Vindication and many more might be one of the kindest, most humble people you ever meet. Interestingly Ben was also a top-level athlete, at one time he was ranked the No. 1 high school decathlete in the country and went on to collegiate track and field at the University of Florida. Ben has landed the lead role in twenty feature films while earning awards and nominations for 'Best Male Actor" in five film festivals.
Hope you enjoy our conversations with these extraordinary men!

Welcome to the First Ever RISE UP CON, Where Fandom Becomes Faith.
Ever heard of ComicCon... where all of the Star Wars, Star Trek and comic book super fans pour into San Diego's convention center by the thousands for days on end every year?
Well, actor, director, and author Kevin Sorbo (Hercules '95-'99) thought having a similar atmosphere for Christian actors, writers, producers, musicians, creators, and entrepreneurs was needed.
After having Kevin on the Strong By Design podcast in 2023, our team decided it was a great opportunity to attend the first ever event and surround ourselves with men and women influencing American culture in a positive way while also standing firm in their Christian faith.
This special compilation episode highlights some of the many interactions, interviews, conversations and events that took place at the Strong By Design booth in Sevierville Convention Center, just outside of Knoxville, TN. Hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson were honored to participate and meet people from all over the country spreading the Gospel and the love of Christ.

The journey of creating ‘The Lion Within Us’ has been fueled by Chris Grainger’s desire to help others and glorify God. He is blessed to be in several leadership positions in a professional and spiritual capacity. First and foremost, He is a devoted husband to a loving wife. Together, they lead a family of three beautiful girls and one amazing son.
There was a point in time where Chris's life was spiraling out of control and he felt helpless. By the Grace of God, he was able to take inventory of his life, analyze and improve habits, and become the man that God had called him to be. Though he has faced difficult storms involving love and loss, he has been blessed beyond measure and God has never left his side. He wants to use his testimony to encourage others and let them know that they too can find joy and fulfillment in the midst of the most difficult storm.
On this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Chris and host Jared Haley discuss the importance of father's being the spiritual leader in the home, as opposed to outsourcing it to the local schools or church. What does this look like practically? Listen and learn how you can be intentional in these areas, and allowing God to reveal his design for the family.

Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brontosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops… all fake?!?
No way?! It can’t be?! What about all of the fossils they’ve found over the past 150+ years? Why would the Smithsonian and other institutions ever promote an extinct animal species that never really existed? What did they have to gain?
We all grew up learning about the amazing, wonderful and terrifying world of the dinosaur. Giant reptiles that roamed the earth 25-65 million years ago and have been extinct for as long.
Geez! How did their bones survive such a long period of time and stay fully intact? Why do we never find an entire dinosaur but instead just a few bones here and there… but we’ve filled in the gaps with such detail? Why do museums all over the world never show the actual bones but replicas of the ‘real thing’ and the real bones are tucked away somewhere else? Why is there nothing recorded about dinosaurs before 1842?
And what about ‘Giants’? Supersized people that may have existed in many different cultures all over the globe in various time periods that ranged from 7 to over 10 feet tall? Is everyone just telling fairy tales and stories or did extra-large people or human-like creatures once walk the planet?
These are all great questions that the Tin Foil Hat Club will investigate in the 2nd Conspiracy Theory episode here on the Strong By Design podcast show! And we just scratched the surface with our third topic of debate… to be continued!

Pastor Daryl Black delivered a message several months ago titled 'Biblical Sexuality - You Asked For It'
Biblical Sexuality | You Asked For It Wk# 3| Daryl Black
This message at Grace Family Church in Florida is based on feedback from the congregation... what did they want the church to talk about. His words are truthful, kind and powerful.
Our host Jared Haley attends GFC and found the message to be one of the best he's ever heard on the topic. Today he and host Chris Wilson dig deeper on what biblical sexuality is and what it means to us now in a time of confusion.
Pastor Daryl believes the only controversial subjects are the ones we aren't willing to talk about with both grace and truth. We are truly honored to have him on the show!
Side Note - Pastor Daryl was an X Factor contestant several years ago and we open the show discussing this amazing adventure. As you will discover in the video link below, his voice is phenomenal.

From the GFC Florida page on YouTube...
No matter who you are, you are an image bearer of God! He created you with glory, dignity, purpose, and diversity. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
"We don't let them choose what food to eat. We don't let them choose whether or not they're going to go to school. But we're going to let them pick their gender for the rest of their life." — Pastor Daryl Black

We all have moments of doubt in our lives. Times when we feel God has abandoned us or that we are separated from God. So, is it okay to have these feelings, is it normal to have these thoughts?
Why me Lord? How can God be good if He let this happen to me? Why would a good God let that happen to someone else? Has God forsaken me? Am I under attack right now? Why am I struggling to believe in God right now?
Have you ever asked the question:
In this episode on the Strong By Design podcast, hosts Chris Wilson and Jared Haley talk about doubting our faith in God, what it looks like to experience feelings of unbelief, questioning God’s plan for our life and feeling like we are under attack.
"It's okay to question. It's okay to wrestle.... It's okay to have emotions with God that isn't just all lovey-dovey." — Jared HaleyThe Great Commission even mentions doubt…
Matthew 28: 16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.Time Stamps
