Wisdom is a big deal. It saves you from pain. It elevates the quality of your life. But it’s kind of elusive, right? Like what is wisdom? And how do you get it? On this week’s episode we set out to try and answer some of those questions by talking about four kinds of wisdom and four and half ways to get wisdom.
We love the Holy Spirit. For years he was a distant “thing” we learned about in church but then he started showing up in person. On this episode we share stories about encounters we’ve had with the Holy Spirit and pray for you to experience more of his presence in your life too.
So you got a prophetic word, huh? Now what? In this episode we talk about all the things you can do to partner with the Holy Spirit to see your prophetic words come to pass. That and Alyn finally got his dream car.
We all have an in-built hunger for more of God, but just how do you get more of him? In this week’s episode we talk about practical things we’ve done over the years to not just pursue more of God but actually receive more of him.
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.
This week we talk about sadness. Not sadness as a concept, but our own sadness and what we’ve done with it in the past and how that’s worked out for us. We also talk about reconciling sadness with the goodness of God. Recorded after a week of deep sadness, we love how this turned out. Let us know what you think!
This week we’ve had proper sleep so we’re on our A-game. Sort of. We talk all about the feeling of loneliness which is the feeling that as humans we try to avoid the most. We talk about the gift that’s found in the feeling of lonely and most importantly update you on the celebrity world of Animal Crossing.
Last week we started our journey into discovering more about our feelings. This week we tackle the topic of hurt. Let’s just say, we start rowdy and it only gets more glorious.
We're in the middle of a global pandemic. Everyone you know - including yourself - is going to have feelings. Denying them won't help, but this podcast will! We're starting an 11-week series on feelings and why they are a gift from God. This episode is the primer for the rest of the series. Buckle up and get your feels on!
It only took a global pandemic to get us podcasting again. Let's get reacquainted and connected. And what do we have here? Video? It’s like podcast Christmas! Watch or listen: it’s your choice.
Just in time for your drive home from Thanksgiving. This week we talk about our thanksgiving traditions (which we just created), what we’re thankful for and explore the reasons why there’s been no episodes recently. For non US listeners we apologize for all the US centric holiday talk. Don’t be put off, there’s still some gold in here.
We went as a family to visit The Holy Land. It was quite the adventure. In this nearly hour long episode we talk about what it was like to be there, what we saw and what we came home with. If you are a patron, the video version of this episode is replete with photos and videos of our time there.
