MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E7
Guest: Lynne Rienstra- Author / Communicator
Episode: Going In and Coming Out of Hiding

Welcome to the MY NEW NORM Podcast, where we talk with real people facing real change and discovering what life looks like on the other side.

I’m your host, Barry Scott Young, and today we’re joined by author and speaker Lynne Rienstra, whose book Sacred Refuge explores what it means to find safety, healing, and the presence of God even in life’s most difficult seasons.

About Guest:
Lynne Rienstra, is a recovering Pharisee and spiritual orphan. Through her mentoring, speaking, and writing, she invites women to exchange the lies they've believed for the truth God speaks over them in Scripture. The result? Freedom like they've never experienced before.

Sometimes life changes in ways we never expected.
Pain shows up.
Loss hits hard.
Trauma leaves questions that don’t have easy answers.

And in those moments, many people quietly ask a question they never thought they would ask…
Where is God in the middle of all this?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed…
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going when life gets heavy…
This conversation is for you.

MY NEW NORM PODCAST – S6 E6
Guest: Barry DeHart
Episode: Beaten, Broken, and Addicted — Now 40 Years Free
Host: Barry Scott Young

Before we begin:
This episode includes real and raw conversations around suicide, addiction, and deep personal struggle. If you’re walking through something heavy right now, you’re not alone. We encourage you to listen with care—and reach out for help if needed.
In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

There are stories… and then there are stories that stop you in your tracks. This is one of them.
From a childhood shaped by pain…
To training in martial arts under legends like Chuck Norris…
To a life spiraling into violence, brokenness, and addiction…Barry DeHart lived it all.

But this episode isn’t about where he started.
It’s about what didn’t finish him.
-Addiction didn’t win.
-Brokenness didn’t define him.
-His past didn’t get the final word.

Today…
Barry celebrates 40 YEARS OF SOBRIETY.

In This Episode:
• The hidden pain behind strength and success
• How addiction takes hold — and how it can be broken
• The turning point that changed everything
• What 40 years of freedom really looks like
• A message for anyone still fighting their battle

Why You Need to Hear This:
Because someone you know…
Is still in the fight.

And this story proves:
Freedom is possible
Change is real
Your past does NOT own your future

Hosted by Barry Scott Young
Real people. Real stories. Real change.

Resource:
Steps Toward a Life of Freedom:
1. Get Honest—For Real- Freedom starts when the excuses stop.
You can’t heal what you keep hiding.

2. Decide—No More “Someday- Change doesn’t happen by accident.
It begins with a moment: “I’m done living this way.

3. Don’t Fight Alone- Isolation feeds addiction.
Freedom grows in community—find someone who knows your story.

4. Replace, Don’t Just Remove- You can’t just quit something—you have to fill the space.
New habits. New rhythms. New direction.

5. Build Daily Discipline- Freedom isn’t a one-time breakthrough—
it’s a daily decision repeated over time.

6. Renew Your Mind- Your life follows your thinking.
Change what you believe, and you change how you live.

7. Expect the Fight- Temptation will come. Old patterns will call.
Be ready—not surprised.

8. Get Back Up—Fast- You may stumble. Don’t stay down.
Failure is a moment, not your identity.

9. Serve Others- Freedom grows when you stop living only for yourself.
Help someone else—and you strengthen your own breakthrough.

10. Hold Onto Hope- No matter how far you’ve gone—
freedom is still possible.

Freedom isn’t found in one big moment…
it’s built in small decisions—every single day.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S6 E5
Guest: Jim Berrier Story
Episode: My Life Changed in a Moment
Host: Barry Scott Young

Life can change in a moment.
One day everything feels normal. The next day, everything is different.

In this powerful episode of the MY NEW NORM Podcast, host Barry Scott Young sits down with Jim Berrier, whose life changed suddenly after suffering an unexpected heart attack.

Jim shares the reality of facing a life-threatening moment, the emotional and physical impact that followed, and how a health crisis forces you to rethink what truly matters. With upcoming double bypass surgery ahead, Jim speaks honestly about fear, faith, perspective, and the importance of living with purpose when tomorrow is no longer guaranteed.

This conversation is not just about heart health — it’s about life, priorities, and perspective when everything changes.

Because the truth is simple:
You don’t control when life changes.
But you absolutely control how you respond when it does.

If you’ve ever faced a moment that shook your world, this episode will encourage you to keep moving forward.

In This Episode

• The moment Jim realized something was seriously wrong
• The reality of surviving a heart attack
