Finding Humility | Perilous World Radio 3-20-25

On today's episode of Perilous World Radio, hosts Alan and Jan Masters talk about the heavy emotional and physical impact of stress that we all face in our daily lives. Alan couldn’t help but notice how after a long day spent supporting a friend, Jan’s stress levels were running high. It got him thinking about the different ways we cope with stress. “How do you deal with stress?” he asked. “Do you confront it head-on, or do you let it take control?”
Alan pointed out a crucial insight: often, the everyday challenges we brush off as minor can pile up and steer us off course. He could see that Jan was carrying a significant burden—not just when he walked through the door, but throughout their conversations. Yet, true to her resilient spirit, Jan expressed her desire to talk more about it later, demonstrating her strength in the face of adversity. Alan underscored the importance of acknowledging and tackling those seemingly small stressors that can have such a big impact on our lives.
As the episode unfolds, Jan opens up about the particularly troubling experience she had with caregivers who seemed to lack even the basic decency and compassion we all deserve. This unsettling encounter added a new layer to her stress that she had never faced before. Stay tuned to find out how Jan navigated this challenging situation and emerged stronger on the other side!
