Our lives are shaped by our families. Not just our habits, family recipes, and noses – our stories, too. You probably know stories about your great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents, or, if you're really into Ancestry.com, as far back as five hundred years ago. You might know the names, professions, quirks, and life stories of people who could have literally never imagined your existence, and you carry those things with you. For some people, these family legends are a point of pride. It was for Ka Vang, too. She held tight to the heroic story of her father, Ying Vang, slipping away from the communist labor camp where he had been placed after being kidnapped in Laos, accompanied by an Australian pilot. But the real story? It doesn't quite live up to the myth Ka knows. And now, as she's preparing to pass on her family's history to her children, she reflects on her own.

Chris Hall joins Stephanie Rousselle to reflect on the practice of delighting in God, especially during life's later chapters or grief-laden season. The conversation weaves through wisdom gained in the “winter of life,” the significance of gratitude, and the centrality of God's relational nature.Chris Hall begins by honestly discussing aging, recognizing the “gift of years,” and learning acceptance—particularly of life's inherent limitations and future partings. Acceptance, he says, is not resignation, but a posture of gratitude and detachment from what's fleeting, allowing deeper attachment to what matters most: God's loving presence and the relationships He's given us.Daily, Chris Hall and his wife pray, focusing on thankfulness. Even in uncertainty or suffering—as exemplified by their grandson with Down syndrome—gratitude centers their hearts on God's mercy. “Lord, have mercy” becomes a foundational prayer, acknowledging deep dependence and God's persistent goodness.The journey hasn't always been simple. Chris Hall shares that, particularly through experiences as a deputy coroner and witnessing immense suffering in places like Los Angeles, Calcutta, and Rwanda, he's grappled with whether God is truly good. Encountering pain and tragedy forced honest questions: “Are you good or not?” But with time and spiritual wrestling, he's emerged with a hard-won conviction of God's steadfastness.In today's culture, delight is often confused with self-focus—“you have to love yourself first.” Chris Hall counters this, insisting that genuine delight is secondary, a “byproduct” of being drawn out of ourselves by something beautiful (the character of God, deep friendships, acts of love). This self-forgetfulness mirrors the Trinity—God's relational essence—and is central to spiritual formation.Using friendship as an example, Chris Hall speaks of the deep grief that attends the loss of his best friend—grief is the “tax we pay for loving.” Yet, grief and joy are intertwined. The richness of a 50-year friendship is the soil from which delight blooms; our relationships (rooted in God's relational nature) are the stage for both love and loss.For anyone struggling to delight in God, Chris Hall gently advises: “Lead with beauty.” Recognize the goodness around you—even in small ways. Beauty draws us out of our self-absorption into a posture of wonder, gratitude, and worship. He encourages practices like meditating on the Psalms and savoring passages from John's, Romans, and Hebrews to nourish this vision.Delight in God is neither sentimental nor shallow—it's a mature joy forged in gratitude, beauty, courage, and faithfulness through all seasons. It invites us to accept limitations, let go of self-preoccupation, and savor God's goodness, even amidst suffering. As Chris Hall and Stephanie Rousselle remind us, delight is tasted, seen, and deeply known—not chased for its own sake, but discovered in God Himself.MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

There are times when we take our bodies for granted... abusing them with lengthy to-do lists of tasks that test the limits of our capacity. We go about our lives as if the “vessels” we have been given are unshakable, unbreakable, and without limits. How often do we thank others for the things they do for us, yet forget to take time to thank our bodies for getting us through the day? Join host Shannon McAdam for a blessing of the body. Take time to acknowledge and give thanks for the body you have been given, while allowing it a moment or two to rest and be blessed. Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary: Prayers, Poems, and Reflections for Every Season, (Ave Maria Press, 2011). Listen to other Episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series.  Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

This is the first episode of the Choosing Different mini-series of conversations between Hali and her two adult daughters, who were both teenagers when their family was in the thick of betrayal and dysfunction. Instead of letting that experience pull them apart, they've been doing the slow, unglamorous work of healing, learning each other again, and trying to break some of the generational patterns they grew up with. They are upfront that they don't have it all figured out. This isn't a highlight reel - it's a real, sometimes messy conversation, shared in case it helps open a door in your own family. In this episode, they talk about what it means to relate to each other as two adults instead of parent and child, how to choose curiosity over criticism, navigating marriage and relationships as an adult child, supporting each other's dreams, showing up emotionally, and, at the heart of it, what healthy repair after a rupture actually looks like. If this conversation resonated with you, we'd love for you to join us in person.

How much of your life is on hold? How many times have you told yourself: "When I have more time..." "When I feel more confident..." "When I'm less busy..." "When I know exactly what to do..." "When I'm fully healed..." For many of us, waiting becomes a way of life. We wait for permission. We wait for certainty. We wait for fear to disappear. We wait for someone else to choose us before we choose ourselves. But what if the life you're longing for isn't waiting for perfect conditions? What if it's waiting for you? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the hidden ways we delay our own growth, happiness, and fulfillment while convincing ourselves we're simply being responsible or realistic. We talk about: waiting for the perfect time waiting for confidence before taking action the myth of being "fully healed" fear disguised as preparation choosing yourself even when you don't feel ready personal responsibility and co-creation why small steps create momentum the power of taking action before certainty arrives At some point, the question isn't whether you're ready. The question is whether you're willing. Because the future you're waiting for may require a decision that can only be made in this moment. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening! If you liked this episode, please send us a message. We'd love to hear from you!Your cup is full, your journey awaits.

Recorded live during the third session of the New Revelations Festival, David Hoffmeister guides listeners through a profound cinematic exploration of early American history and spiritual revolution. Set against the backdrop of the struggling 13 colonies and the drafting of the Constitution, this session explores the contrast between earthly intellect and divine devotion.Through the story of a young man named George who abandons his theatrical aspirations to become an unwavering mouthpiece for the Holy Spirit, and his interactions with the highly intellectual Benjamin Franklin, David unpacks the limitations of human ingenuity. He explains how the world we perceive is ultimately a projected illusion born from a belief in separation, and that true freedom cannot be found through the body's achievements or by battling the ego.Instead, this episode invites listeners to look beyond the distraction of worldly goals and ask one simple, transformative question: "Who is my Source?". Tune in to discover why the ultimate prison is only in the mind, and how a genuine change of heart opens the door to lasting peace and perfect love.Stay connected with our Awakening Mind Community & events:https://www.instagram.com/awakeningmind1/https://awakening-mind.org/ If you want to learn more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, visit https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsRecorded live at the Awakening Mind Retreat Center in Utah on the evening of July 25, 2026. Follow us on:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/DavidHoffmeister https://www.youtube.com/@LivingMiraclesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/ACIM.ACourseInMiracles Learn more about David & Living Miracles:https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/eventsLearn more about A Course in Miracles:https://ACIM.bizDavid's Spanish YouTube Channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP9Gw00CldPUmiu43y7fdWwDavid's Portuguese YouTube Channel is:https://www.youtube.com/@davidhoffmeisterucem

Today's episode of Gospel Spice, centered on the launch of "Awaken Delight," is a timely exploration of the Christian experience of suffering. Stephanie combines personal vulnerability—sharing excerpts from her new book about living with chronic pain and deep questions—with biblical wisdom on how hardship fits into our walk with God.In suffering, God does not abandon; he lovingly prunes and allows thorns for our growth. The path to deeper faith, humility, and delight in God runs directly through honest wrestling with pain—and leads to true spiritual fruitfulness.Christians often wonder: If I am serving God, why do I suffer? Is suffering a sign of God's displeasure or my failure? Stephanie shares that Christians who suffer yet trust God often appear as if they're not suffering—because they refuse let suffering have the final word.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive, in-depth 10-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are going through seasons of deep pruning from God's hand: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 454. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Just as fig trees need hard soil to bear fruit, Christians grow most deeply in spiritually tough conditions. Comfort produces "leaves without fruit," but hardship develops true character and delight in God.In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul's incredible spiritual experiences led God to allow him a "thorn"—not as punishment, but to keep him humble and dependent on God. Paul's journey shows that deep suffering is not proof of failure or sin, but God's purposeful investment in our transformation.In John 15, Jesus says that healthy, fruitful branches are the ones pruned by the Gardener (God), so they'll bear even more fruit. Pruning feels like loss or reduction but is God re-focusing our lives on what truly matters.Pruning is when God removes something from our lives. It is the elimination of even good things for us to be more fruitful and focused. By contrast, thorns are when God allows painful weaknesses or situations to remain. These serve a specific, humbling, and formative purpose. Both types invite deeper dependence on God.We misunderstand suffering when we see it as divine punishment. Biblical teaching says it's part of God's commitment to us—not against us, but for us. The goal is not mere improvement, but transformation—making us more like Christ."Faith" is not something we muster by willpower, but a posture rooted in humility: recognizing our need for God and opening ourselves to His work. Humility is both the soil in which faith grows and the fruit that results from faith.Christ was not merely "pruned"—he was "cut off" entirely for our sake, taking on the ultimate suffering so we would never face it alone. Now, even our suffering is transformed by his presence and purpose.Practical ApplicationWhen hardship comes, instead of merely asking "Why me?" or "How can I escape this?", ask "What is God showing me?" and "How can I delight in Him through this?"Choose to see suffering not as a sign of God's absence, but as the attentive hand of the Gardener who loves and invests in us.Remain in Christ—even weak connection is connection, and transformation is always worth the pain.Reflective action: Next time you face loss or pain, remember the lessons of pruning and thorns. Ask God to help you trust His restorative, purposeful hand, and seek delight in Him above all.We are in the middle of our “Awaken Delight” series, based on Stephanie's new book. Each week, we explore a different facet of what makes delight in God difficult and challenging. How can we live the reality of Psalm 37:4 when life is hard? "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." This is God's promise to you in Psalm 37:4. But many believers quietly assume it's just a poetic suggestion, or it doesn't really work here on earth.What you will (re)discover as you journey with God through Awaken Delight:Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.Delight in God is the missing engine behind resilience. It's the antidote to burnout. It's even the foundation for sustainable ministry.God's delight in you is secure, not performance-dependent. God's delight in you frees you from striving! That's the beginning of delight.Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.You can build a delight-centered spiritual life.Awaken Delight invites you to follow Scriptural truths and spiritual practices that cultivate daily joy in God.DISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith: “Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight. It is a rich mix of God's delight in you and your delight in him. This is the life you were made for, the life your soul deeply longs for. So, the table is set. Pull up a chair and let your heart sit alongside Stephanie. As your delight in God wakes up and becomes fully realized, you'll find a satisfaction in Christ that makes you want more and more.”Kind words from Amanda Jenkins, Lead creator of THE CHOSEN's literary content: "I have yet to meet another person quite as eager to intimately know Jesus as Stephanie is. Her enthusiasm for the beauty found inside a thriving relationship with her Savior is downright contagious. Indeed, Stephanie's joy and faith and commitment to growth—along with her love for really good food!—will implant themselves in the hearts of readers. Lucky readers."Kind words from Os Guinness, Theologian, Social critic, Author, The Call:  "Stephanie addresses one of the greatest needs of Christians today. Knowing God is not knowing about God, but knowing Him genuinely and with desire and delight. She does so practically and helpfully, and in a style that sparkles with a verve and joy that is distinctively French."Kind words from Pippa Gumbel, Pioneer, The Alpha Course; Author, The Bible in one year with husband Nicky: "Stephanie's love of God is inspiring and infectious. Her book is an invitation to share in that delight and to come to know God in new and wonderful ways."More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JSupport us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

Are we dreaming reality together? In this episode of The Dream Journal, host Katherine Bell speaks with author and spiritual teacher Paul Levy about the dreamlike nature of reality, the collective mind virus known as Wetiko, and how nighttime dreams can help us wake up within the waking dream. Paul shares how a powerful spiritual awakening led him into a lifelong exploration of dreams, Tibetan Buddhism, Carl Jung, quantum physics, creativity, and collective healing. Together, Katherine and Paul explore how our perception shapes experience, why creativity is the way out of collective madness, and how dreamwork can become a form of spiritual and social transformation. Why Paul Levy describes reality as a collectively shared dream How Wetiko functions as a collective mind virus and what helps loosen its grip The relationship between dreams, creativity, trauma, and spiritual awakening How Carl Jung understood the psyche, shadow, synchronicity, and collective psychosis What quantum physics can suggest about perception, possibility, and participation Why lucid dreaming is less about control and more about recognizing the nature of the dream How community, dream circles, and creative practice can help us “dream ourselves awake” This conversation is for listeners interested in dream work, lucid dreaming, Jungian psychology, spiritual awakening, consciousness, quantum physics, Tibetan Buddhism, collective healing, creativity, and the mystery of how dreams can guide us toward a more awakened life.

It's time to wake up-- no more living asleep to the things of God! Let's rise, walk in freedom, and live fully awake in Christ.In his newest teaching, "Awaken,” Pastor Kyle Doan reminds us that Jesus is the Light—and when we step out of darkness and into His presence, He restores what the enemy has tried to steal: our relationships, resources, time, and joy.

What if you could transform negativity and fear into the highest form of inner and outer triumph? You can do this with the power of LoveQ, your innate Love Intelligence. LoveQ is the union of self-love with the loving energy of the Higher Nature, also known as God or Spirit. On this week's episode of Love University, we explore how to tap into the innate source of compassion and goodness: the Higher Nature within you. Here are three ways: Reconnect with Your Higher Nature This is the most authentic part of your mind and soul, where love and wisdom naturally reside. When you draw from this inner source, you no longer feel that you must struggle through life alone. Instead, you discover a reservoir of strength that helps you face challenges with greater peace and confidence. The more you recognize beauty and kindness in everyday life, the more you awaken your LoveQ and experience the caring intelligence at the heart of the universe. Break Free from Spiritual Disconnection and Bad Me Two powerful Thought Demons, critical inner voices, seek to separate you from your Higher Nature. They are Spiritual Disconnection (alienation from your inner truth) and Bad Me (not good enough). These malevolent forces try to convince you that you are alone and unworthy of love. Together, they create loneliness and self-doubt, weakening your connection to the loving energy that sustains you. As you reconnect with your Higher Nature, these destructive voices gradually lose their influence. Self-acceptance replaces self-condemnation, while compassionate unity replaces isolation. Discover the Friend Within A beautiful description of the Higher Nature comes from Sufi tradition. It is called the Friend, the one who never condemns or abandons you. Instead, they encourage, comfort, and remind you of your true nature. The more you strengthen your relationship with the Friend, the more naturally you express patience and kindness toward yourself and others. Eventually, you discover a life-changing truth: the Friend has never been separate from you. You are, and always have been, the Friend, the ultimate source of your truth and power.

Are you spiritually awake, or have you grown comfortable in your walk with God? In this timely message, we're challenged through Jesus' parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25 to examine whether we're merely professing our faith or truly possessing a vibrant relationship with Christ. As we wait for His return, God calls His people to live with urgency, readiness, and a continual dependence on the Holy Spirit. Discover why the "oil" of a thriving secret place with God cannot be borrowed, why preparation matters more than appearances, and how Christ invites every believer to awaken from spiritual complacency and walk faithfully until He returns. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or are seeking Him for the first time, this message is a powerful reminder that today is the day to arise, awaken, and be ready.

Full Moon in Aquarius : Awaken your Future Self The Aquarius Full Moon rises opposite the radiant Leo Sun, illuminating the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. This is a moon of awakening, liberation, and remembering the woman you were before fear, expectations, and old wounds dimmed your light.In this episode, we'll explore the spiritual meaning of this powerful Full Moon, the dance between Leo's courageous heart and Aquarius' untamed spirit, and how this lunation invites you to release what no longer belongs in your energetic field.We'll dive into the chakras most activated during this Full Moon—the Root Chakra for grounding, the Solar Plexus for confidence and personal power, and the Heart Chakra for healing, self-love, and deeper connection. You'll also be guided through witchy Full Moon rituals to cleanse your aura, call your energy back home, and create space for your light to expand freely.This isn't just about releasing the past—it's about allowing your aura to breathe, your intuition to deepen, and your Divine Feminine to rise.

Awaken to the One without a second—the sacred, luminous reality that is essentially what we are. Join Stephan Bodian, teacher, psychotherapist, and author of Infinite Awakening: A Guide to Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path, as he offers a roadmap to discovering our true identity.

Send us Fan MailMost people experience spiritual awakening as a gradual journey, but what if a single moment could shatter your sense of reality forever? In this powerful episode, Gareth Duignam shares the true story of his spontaneous awakening in the gym that transformed his understanding of consciousness in an instant. You'll discover how a simple realization—that everything you experience is happening inside your awareness—can lead to a profound shift from the illusion of separation to a deep sense of oneness.Gareth unpacks the intense, fleeting flash of god consciousness that overtook him in 2016, revealing the inner landscape of awakening—how ordinary moments become portals, and why the nervous system struggles to hold that high-vibrational state. He explores the subtle signs leading up to the breakthrough, like feeling watched or sensing life's staged nature, and the pivotal realization that changed everything: “All I experience is happening inside of me.”You'll learn the difference between pure self-realization and full-blown God consciousness, and why the latter can feel overwhelming to the body. Gareth shares practical insights for navigating these waves, emphasizing gentle self-care, patience, and the importance of resting into awareness rather than forcing breakthroughs. Whether you've had subtle shifts, huge openings, or are simply curious about spiritual awakening, this episode offers invaluable guidance on integrating these insights into daily life.Why does this matter? Because awakening isn't something to achieve—it's what you are waking up to. Missing this subtlety often leads to burnout, but understanding the nervous system's role opens the door to sustainable, radiant-oneness. If you're on a spiritual path or feeling the call to realize your true nature, this honest story of transformation provides hope, reassurance, and practical tools to deepen your journey.Perfect for anyone exploring consciousness, body practitioners, or those experiencing moments of lucidity—this episode unlocks the secret behind the fleeting flashes and stabilizes the profound realization that you are already whole. Step into this perspective and see how the boundaries of self dissolve into eternal awareness.Share your experience or join the conversation—this is your invitation to wake up from the dream and recognize yourself as the limitless consciousness that's already here.

What if the reason so many women feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed… has nothing to do with a lack of willpower?In this episode, I sit down with holistic women's and menstrual health expert Nicole Bendayan to explore the truth about hormones, birth control, cycle tracking, feminine energy, fertility, and the wisdom of the female body.For decades, women have been taught to suppress symptoms instead of understand them. Painful periods, hormonal imbalances, burnout, mood swings, PMS, anxiety, and disconnection have become so common that many women believe they're normal.But what if they're not?In this conversation, we dive deep into the menstrual cycle, why women were never meant to feel the same every day, the impact of hormonal birth control, how modern life disconnects women from their natural rhythm, and what it means to truly work with your body instead of against it.You'll learn how hormones influence energy, emotions, relationships, intuition, confidence, attraction, and overall well-being. We also discuss what men need to understand about women, how to support a partner through different phases of her cycle, and why reconnecting to the feminine may be one of the most important health conversations of our time.This conversation is eye-opening, empowering, controversial, and deeply healing.Whether you're a woman looking to better understand your body or a man wanting to better understand the women in your life, this episode is a must-listen.

Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people? Have you ever looked around at your life and realized you're surrounded by family, friends, coworkers, or community, yet something still feels missing? You're not alone. Many women spend years being the strong one, the helper, the caregiver, the leader, and the person everyone else relies on. They become so skilled at taking care of others that they slowly lose touch with their own need for connection, support, and belonging. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the loneliness that exists beneath the surface of many successful, capable, and deeply caring women. We talk about: why so many women feel disconnected even when they're surrounded by people the burden of always being the strong one the difference between being around people and truly being seen why vulnerability feels so uncomfortable the hidden cost of trying to do everything alone community, belonging, and authentic connection remembering that we were never meant to walk this journey alone What if the answer isn't becoming stronger? What if the answer is allowing yourself to be supported? Because sometimes the deepest healing happens when we stop carrying everything by ourselves and allow ourselves to be seen. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey!

Have you made it through something difficult but still feel like part of you is living inside the experience? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores the difference between surviving a painful chapter and truly becoming resilient through it. Resilience is not only about getting through hardship. It is about adapting, changing your relationship with the story, and choosing how you want to live afterward. Priscilla shares how her father's passing became the beginning of her spiritual path and explains how repeating a painful story can keep your mind, body, and energy connected to the past. Using her 4A Process - Awareness, Acceptance, Awaken, and Action - she offers a practical way to move from survival mode into greater strength, purpose, and possibility. Your story is part of you, but it does not have to be the place where you remain. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle welcomes returning guests Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock for a reflective and practical exploration of what it means to delight in God—especially in the ordinary and difficult seasons of life.Delighting in God is a daily discipline rooted in noticing, gratitude, humility, and relational engagement. Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock illustrate that wonder and joy can be found at “the molecular level” of life, as we learn to see reality with the eyes of heaven.Cultivating delight in God starts with intentional attention—slowing down to observe and appreciate even the small gifts in daily life. Andi Ashworth describes how, after a busy season promoting their book, she cultivated a new practice: sitting quietly in her small perennial garden, reading Scripture, praying, and simply noticing the details of creation—birdsong, blooming flowers, the work of bees. Over time, this intentional noticing awakened deeper gratitude and joy in the presence of God, even as life's hardships persisted.Delight is a daily practice, a choice to “step into reality” and seek God's presence even in suffering. This deliberate practice transforms pain into moments of worship and gratitude. Charlie Peacock shares that delight in God is not dependent on favorable circumstances or feelings of happiness. Suffering—including his chronic headache of nearly ten years—taught him to seek and experience God's presence regardless of pain. He emphasizes that true delight must be able to exist within difficulty, or it is not truly delight.Intimacy and delight with God are relational and participatory. God invites us to pursue Him, and as we do, He meets us. Sometimes we wait passively for God to manifest delight, and other times we strive to create it in our own strength. In reality, pursuing delight is a “dance”—God initiates and leads, but we must actively respond and show up, especially when delight seems elusive.Hardships, while unwelcome, often become ministers of grace, rooting us in humility and expanding our capacity for love and presence. Through chronic pain and other challenges, both Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock have experienced God's grace and a deepening humility. Charlie Peacock notes how his “thorn” limits self-reliance and ambition, drawing him toward greater dependence on Christ and shaping him into Christ's likeness. Andi Ashworth observes that their limitations have expanded their hearts and increased their compassion for others.Never outgrow asking your good Father for small joys. Delight in God blossoms in those who cultivate grateful, attentive hearts. Both guests encourage maintaining childlike wonder and gratitude—even for small blessings like a hot shower, a well-timed parking space, or serendipitous tickets to an event. These moments, prayed for and received as gifts, reinforce God's goodness and nearness.Practices to Foster DelightStart each day with gratitude for basic abilities and provisions.Notice small joys—in nature, family, daily routines—and thank God specifically.Pray about “matters of mutual concern”: what matters to God, matters to us.Accept and embrace limitations as invitations to deeper dependence and presence.Reflection question: What small gift might God be inviting you to notice—and delight in—today? MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Philosophical Hook We often treat professional drive, relentless intensity, and self-reliance as badges of honor. But what happens when our greatest leadership strengths are actually walls we built to hide our deepest pain? In this powerful episode, Chris Schembra sits down with leadership coach and author Tyler Dickerhoof to discuss his new book, The Things We Hide. Tyler opens up about the tragic childhood loss of his younger brother, Joel, and how that single event led him to build a 25-year defensive wall of extreme intensity. Together, they explore how to break through the four walls of insecurity—intensity, inactivity, insensitivity, and isolation—to transition from a defensive, lonely "bulldozer" into a truly connected, impact-driven leader.   10 Memorable Quotes "My brother had died and it was an accident. I was fourteen and Joel was three." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Where we get in trouble is when we start to depict other people's interpretation of value as our own. And that's where everything goes awry." — Tyler Dickerhoof "I don't tell that story because I don't think it has value. I didn't understand that that manifestation of hiding those things was creating a barrier in my ability to connect." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Instead of it showing up at the bottom of a bottle or drugs... it was my intensity." — Tyler Dickerhoof "Intensity is a bulldozer. A bulldozer will clear a path, but it's going to leave carnage. And in a human sense, that carnage is relationships." — Tyler Dickerhoof "If you want to level some land, great, but I'm not gonna go hang out with you... because I was always on to the next thing." — Tyler Dickerhoof "If leadership is lonely, you're doing it wrong." — Tyler Dickerhoof "I was marooned on an island because I thought I had to do it all... But I was the one that held the keys to the lifeboat." — Tyler Dickerhoof "When we're looking in the mirror, it looks real good. But then someone sits across from us and says, 'Hey, your face is flipped around the other way.'" — Tyler Dickerhoof "Too often we think impact is monumental... Joel was thirty-four months old when he died. His life made an impact." — Tyler Dickerhoof   10 Key Takeaways The Shield of Intensity: Extreme drive and work ethic can often be subconscious survival mechanisms built to mask grief, trauma, or insecurity. The "Bulldozer" Trap: While intensity clears paths and gets things done in business, it leaves a trail of damaged relationships if left unchecked. The Valuation Crisis: Real security begins when you stop adopting external definitions of success and start grounding yourself in your intrinsic value. The Four Walls of Insecurity: Leaders protect themselves through four distinct defensive mechanisms: Intensity, Inactivity, Insensitivity, and Isolation. The Illusion of Lonely Leadership: Loneliness at the top is not an inevitable byproduct of leadership; it is a self-imposed prison created by our unwillingness to be vulnerable. Windows vs. Mirrors: Leading effectively requires looking through a "window" to see how your actions affect others, rather than just looking in a "mirror" of your own intentions. Tech-Enabled Isolation: In the age of AI, we must be careful not to use productivity tools to further isolate ourselves, but rather to buy back our time for genuine human connection. The Power of the Round Table: High-level growth happens in layers when you surround yourself with a diverse group of peers who can pressure-test your perspectives. The 5 R's of Mindset: Maintaining a healthy leadership attitude requires a daily cycle of Routine, Reset, Remember (or Not), Realistic alignment, and constant Repetition. Redefining Impact: True, lasting impact isn't measured by scale or longevity, but by the depth of meaning we bring to the lives of those we touch. About Our Guest Tyler Dickerhoof is a keynote speaker, leadership coach, and host of The Tyler Dickerhoof Show. As the founder of Impact Driven Leader and developer of the Awaken the Leader Within framework, he helps executives and entrepreneurs grow in influence without losing their humanity.

Drinking is a really acceptable thing in the US. Most towns have liquor stores on every few corners. Every home decor store has products with some variation of the same, tongue-in-cheek humor: “Mommy's Go-Go Juice,” “I'm not whining, I'm wine-ing,” or “It's WINE O'CLOCK!” More often than not, explaining that you're sober can be more awkward than explaining that you binge drink every other weekend. In fact, in the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 79.2% of people aged 12 and up reported that they had consumed alcohol at some point in their lifetime.  Drinking is, for most people, considered “normal.” And for Laura McKowen, drinking was just a part of life – of work, of her social life, of relaxing. She didn't realize how destructive it was until things had gone too far and her brother confronted her, saying, “This is your thing. You can't drink.” Laura is here today to walk us through her addiction, guilt, turmoil, recovery, and path onwards, sharing the nine things that anyone facing addiction needs to hear.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Deep suffering and the felt absence of God are not signs of weak faith, but invitations to deeper trust, raw honesty, and the formation of roots that will later sustain delight when the next “spring” arrives. This week, Stephanie centers on understanding Christian suffering, especially in seasons when God feels absent, and explores how to trust Christ in the midst of pain, grief, and confusion.We are in the middle of our “Awaken Delight” series, based on Stephanie's new book. Each week, we explore a different facet of what makes delight in God difficult and challenging. How can we live the reality of Psalm 37:4 when life is hard?

She addresses different types of pain—physical, psychological, relational, emotional, and spiritual—and affirms that suffering is a universal human experience. She shares several composite stories:Thomas: Endures chronic physical pain, wrestling with why healing hasn't come but continues to pray and trust that God is enough.Aisha: Struggles against spiritual oppression and insomnia, clinging to God's promises despite not sensing His presence.Dan: Faces depression and spiritual dryness, with faith persisting stubbornly beneath the surface.Margaret: Grieves the loss of her spouse, finding grace in small mercies.Javier: Suffers the pain of family estrangement, daily choosing forgiveness and hope for reconciliation.We are encouraged to identify with these stories and realize we are not alone.Common Experiences in Christian Suffering1. Feeling MisunderstoodSufferers often receive shallow platitudes from others—such as “God's got this” or “Count it all joy”—which, while technically true, are often hurtful when mistimed. Suffering Christians primarily need presence, not slogans.2. Emotional FluctuationSuffering brings emotional unpredictability—peace and panic, gratitude and anger. These ups and downs do not mean spiritual instability; rather, they are normal human responses.3. Seeking Comfort, Not ExplanationAlthough initial pain leads us to search for answers, comfort is ultimately found not in reasons but in the Shepherd's presence.4. Holding Both Faith and AnguishMature Christian suffering means affirming both God's goodness and the reality of pain simultaneously; raw, honest prayers replace polished formulas.5. Reduced Religious PerformanceSuffering eradicates concern for spiritual image. Depth in Scripture reading grows—not in breadth, but as a lifeline, especially in Psalms, Job, and the story of Jesus' suffering.6. The Role of LamentLament becomes covenant communication: honest complaints, questions, and cries are not signs of weak faith but of depth and intimacy.While suffering may sometimes result from sin, it is not always the case. Discernment and the Holy Spirit's clear conviction are key. Vague guilt and general feelings of punishment are not from God; His conviction is always specific.When God seems silent, it's not proof He has abandoned us. Moments of suffering can be where He works most deeply, just as the cross felt like God's greatest absence but was His greatest act of love. Faith in suffering is not the absence of questions, lament, or feeling lost, but the commitment to remain with God—even if only weakly.Practical Lessons1.      Pray honestly and directly, not just politely.2.      Resist withdrawal from God and community.3.      Remember: God's commitment is final and irreversible—even when you cannot sense Him.4.      Trust His heart even when you cannot see His hand.DISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism.
