Friends are a gift from God. And there’s no better gift than this week’s guest Glenn Carter. For almost 30 years Glenn and Alyn have been close friends. Despite changes in life, vocation and location somehow they’ve kept up their friendship. On this week’s episode they talk about the secret to longevity in relationships, exploring an underground nuclear bunker and how the Holy Spirit healed Glenn’s marriage.
Anxiety sucks. But it’s such a part of life that Jesus instructed his followers on ways to deal with it. On this episode we talk about anxiety from a spiritual, emotional and neurobiological perspective and then offer six different approaches to dealing with it.
Stephen James is the founder and executive director of Sage Hill Counseling and the creator and CEO of The Leadership Lab. But he’s also a generous man, a brilliant thinker, someone who tells the truth and is fiercely curious - even when those things may get him into trouble. Which means he’s a perfect guest for our show. This week we unpack things like hope and grief, stress, addiction, trauma and the human experience of feeling stuck.
Our dear friend and SOSL Pastor, Shannon McLaird joins us this week to share her testimony of escaping her childhood trauma when she met Jesus and healthy community. This episode is marked explicit because of the subject matter of sexual abuse and we've marked certain chapters of the episode with warnings if this topic may cause secondary trauma. Shanon's story ends well and will be a huge encouragement for everyone, no matter your background.
We don’t really do current affairs commentary. But there was something about that slap that’s a teachable moment for us all. Also the more-than-enough course is now live! Live with more money, less stress and greater financial security by enrolling in the class before April 18.
Inner healing is just a fancy name for the work the Holy Spirit does to conform us into the likeness of Christ and yet in some parts of the church it’s greatly misunderstood. This week we share five things we didn’t know as we stepped into more and more understanding. That and a Christmas miracle(?) is afoot in the Jones household.
Steve Long is one of our favorite people. He's been one of the most consistent leaders we've ever known and he's not only a great practitioner of healing, he's a great a teacher of healing. On this week's episode he shares five things he didn't know about healing and then prays for healing at the end of this episode. Enjoy!
It's been a fun few weeks in the Jones household. After a quick trip to ER, AJ discovers she has a tumor on her ovary. This is the story of what happened next and how the kindness of God shows up even in the most difficult of circumstances.
COVID-19, vaccinations and whether British people can swim. There’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to find something offensive about this week’s episode. But that’s not our heart - rather we want to make our thinking visible about where we’ve been and the choices we’re making for the future.
How’s that for a clickbait title? But in all seriousness, are you? And would you even know if you were? This week we recount our journeys toward emotional wholeness and AJ gets real real talking about her journey of emotional suffocation this past year.
To some, boundaries are nothing more than the tool of entitled jerks. To others they are a gateway to relational health and fruitfulness. On this episode we talk about when we first encountered boundaries, why they produce such a strong reaction and excitedly, we officially launch the Boundaries Summer School!
Dr. Chip Dodd is a feelings expert. He literally wrote the book on it. For the past 10 episodes we've explored what he wrote in his breakthrough book, "The Voice of the Heart". This week we were thrilled to sit down and ask him your questions on feelings. Join us on this wonderful, meandering conversation with a brilliant man with a beautiful soul!
So we've talked about all 8 feelings. Now what? Well that's precisely what this episode is all about.
And we're back to talk about gladness - the feeling everyone wants to feel! However, there's some fine print to feeling glad which is why so few people truly do! Tune in to find out why.
Out of all of the 8 feelings, this one is the most straightforward to talk about, probably because it's the one that we're so familiar with given the human condition. So here it is: guilt.
Out of all the feelings, this was the one that had the most impact on our understanding of ourselves. On this week’s episode we unpack why shame is actually a blessing (something that would previously been an anathema to our thinking), leads to a glorious gift and has two fairly horrible impairments. As a bonus: we breakdown an argument we had last week and show how shame played a role in it.
Fear is not as scary as we've been led to believe. This week we talk about the gifts and impairments (plural!) found in fear. Also we discover wrestling!
This week has given us plenty to be angry about and on this episode Alyn gets to demonstrate what anger looks like, AJ tells you what the gift is and we get to explore all sorts of misunderstandings regarding what is - and isn't - anger.
