Imagine standing before a mirror every morning and declaring aloud: “I am a redeemed child of God. I am a forgiven child of God. I am a saved child of God.” According to our guest John Schuetze, LPC, DMin, MDiv, BC-TMH, this simple practice can transform how we understand repentance and reshape our relationship with guilt and shame.In this profound exploration of Christian identity and repentance, Professor Schuetze draws from his 15 years as a pastor, 28 years teaching at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, and his ongoing work as a licensed professional counselor at Christian Family Solutions specializing in grief, trauma, and marital therapy. He unpacks repentance not as a mere acknowledgment of wrongdoing, but as a fundamental reorientation of how we see ourselves.The conversation reveals how sin affects us in three distinct ways: our own sinful actions, the painful effects of others' sins against us, and the general presence of sin in our fallen world. Each dimension requires a different response, but all must be addressed through the lens of our primary identity as God's children.For those struggling with persistent guilt despite knowing God's forgiveness, Schuetze offers both spiritual wisdom and practical neurological insights. He explains how negative thought patterns create well-worn neural pathways that must be gradually replaced with healthier, gospel-centered ones. “It's not a perfect faith that saves us,” he reminds listeners, “it's Christ that saves us.”As we enter the Lenten season, this episode serves as a timely reminder that while sin is indeed serious—“we don't have a little Savior who died for a bunch of little sins”—God's grace is even greater. True repentance means living in that tension, continually returning to our identity in Christ while striving for progress, not perfection, in our daily walk.Support the show

Meet Jessica Tappana Jessica Tappana started her private practice on her maternity leave about 20 months ago. After filling up in only a matter of months, she decided to bring on other therapists as 1099s and transitioned Aspire Counseling into a group practice. Worried about how she would fill the caseloads of these new therapists, Jessica tried several different marketing strategies.  Ultimately, she decided to focus on getting her website to the first page of Google and began teaching herself SEO at nights after her kids were in bed. Slowly after gathering a couple of tips here and there, she got her website to the first page for nearly every keyword she targets.  Aspire Counseling has grown to now include five therapists and a virtual assistant! In fact, all of the therapists are nearly full, and Jessica hopes to find a few more quality team members in the months to come. Meet Joe Sanok Joe Sanok, MA, LLP, LPC, NCC is the person behind the #1podcast for therapists, The Practice of the Practice. Joe has helped hundreds of private practice owners in growing and scaling their private practices.

In the beginning, I was making around $1000 per month. In 2015, I grossed over $200k! In fact, every month I post exactly what I made and how I made it. It's important to me, because we don't usually talk about money and how to make it in an ethical way. I want to increase your influence and your income!” Meet John Clarke John Clarke is a licensed psychotherapist and a private practice expert at PrivatePracticeWorkshop. After learning a lot of things the hard way while building his first practice in San Francisco, he started a blog to share with others the lessons he had learned. Private Practice Workshop was born, and this blog eventually evolved into so much more: a thriving Facebook community, a successful podcast, online courses, and coaching/consulting. Some therapists want to learn how to use digital marketing to grow their audience and get more clients, but the majority just want to leave it to the pros. John founded Unconditional Media, the digital marketing team for therapists, to meet the biggest need of private practitioners: getting more clients! Meet Kasey Compton Kasey built a million-dollar practice with over seventy-five staff members in less than two years from the ground up.

Put a pop-up on the website stating that you are offering telemental health services. Do not put your client's health at risk – do not see clients in person. Now is the time to get ahead of everything and start seeing clients virtually. Remember HIPAA. Creative Ways to Serve Clients Discount your fees. Do mini sessions. Charge a small fee for a mindfulness meet-up. Teach meditation techniques. Work on relationship-building during this time. Write blog posts to provide useful information for your community. Emergency Planning Practice both short-term and long-term thinking. Make sure you keep your long-term vision in mind. Have a three to six-month fund ready for emergencies like this.
