Thanks for joining us on the Mount of Olives! Today we sit down and talk with our Mt. Olive member, Peter Bloedel, who teaches theater at Bethany Lutheran College. We discuss why the arts are an important gift from God that help us to understand what it means to be human. We also discuss how Bethany is a unique place where one can be an actor while also remaining true to their Christian faith. We also get a sneak peak of Prof. Bloedel's upcoming Christmas project.

Fiber and textile artist Shannon Twohy of Minneapolis recently saw the Northern Clay Centers exhibition “Edible,” which she found thought-provoking. The show brings together works by five Asian American artists, including Anika Hsiung Schneider of Minneapolis, all investigating food and culture through clay. Twohy appreciates that each artist explores the medium differently, creating sculptures that vary from stylistic representations to creations that look good enough to eat. “Edible” is on view through April 21 both in-person and online, here.   Edible at Northern Clay Center Charlie Leftridge is the executive director of the Carnegie Art Center in Mankato, and he wants people to know about the vibrant local music scene. Leftridge served as director of operations of Mankato's Symphony Orchestra heading into the pandemic, and he continues to enjoy their music from the audience. He loves that MSO showcases a diverse mix of composers, presented in a friendly and accessible way.  The MSO's Chamber Music series, known as Music on the Hill, presents its next concert this Sunday, March 24 at 3 p.m. at Bethany Lutheran College's Trinity Chapel in Mankato. This performance's theme is Bohemian Folk, and it includes Antonín Dvořák's “Cypresses” for string quartet, among others. Minneapolis musician Dylan Hicks is looking forward to listening to some great jazz when the Chris Thompson Quartet perform next week at Berlin. The group is led by Chris Thompson on clarinet and saxophone, who also composes electronic music under the name Cedar Thoms. Hicks has performed with Thompson in the past and calls him a creative, lyrical player with a great ear for improv.  “He can pay to play very advanced harmony, but he always really draws you in melodically. And so I think he will appeal to people who are, hardcore jazz aficionados and maybe people who are exploring the music.” Thompson joins with Kavyest Kaviraj on piano, Jeff Bailey on bass, and Abinnet Berhanu on drums — all leaders in their own right. Hicks recommends checking out Berlin, an intimate, European-inspired jazz club in the North Loop of Minneapolis that he says fills a much-needed niche in the music scene. There is no cover charge for this show.  

The Well Mind is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics and this episode is a beautiful example of that mission. I'm your host Dr. Ben Kohls. I've been a practicing clinical mental health counselor for over 15 years and am currently a counselor educator and director for the CMHC graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. My guest for this episode is Elizabeth DeBolt. She is a professor and researcher from Liberty University and has truly invested herself in the topic of maternal mental health for a number of years now. The knowledge and compassion that Elizabeth has for this topic is truly outstanding. She has presented on this topic multiple times at national conferences and I feel really blessed to share her with the Well Mind community. Pregnancy and birth are life altering experiences that bring change to roles, responsibilities, identity, and relationships. There is, what I perceive to be, a good amount of focus on mom and baby from a physical health basis and preparing for the arrival of the baby, but less attention is given to the shifts in identity and the impacts this experience has on emotional wellbeing. If you are thinking that maternal mental health is a ‘just for moms' episode, I'm going to ask you to suspend that perspective and listen in, because this episode is for everyone. Moms, Dads, those planning for and hoping to be parents in the future, anyone that knows and cares about a mom or dad, and certainly all those in the church community that desire to support parents. Please join me in welcoming Elizabeth DeBolt in Episode 38: Maternal Mental Health.

The Well Mind is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics, with a special emphasis on mental wellness. I'm your host Dr. Ben Kohls. I've been a practicing clinical mental health counselor for over 15 years and am currently a counselor educator and director for the CMHC graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. I've got another special episode for you. I had the opportunity to hold a live podcast event here at Bethany Lutheran College. My colleagues from the clinical mental Health counseling program, Drs. Karina Clennon and Helena Stevens joined me for a live panel discussion one evening in February. This is also inline with my goal to provide tools for the well mind episodes in addition to the conversational interviews with guests. I'd say this is a hybrid of those two ideas. We definitely cover wellness concepts from a variety of perspectives, but we also get into some specific tools and practices that can support your wellness journey. It was a super fun evening with my colleagues and the students and I hope that you find the discussion helpful and useful in your own life.

Welcome to episode 36! The Well Mind is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics, with a special emphasis on mental wellness. I'm your host Dr. Ben Kohls. I've been a practicing clinical mental health counselor for over 15 years and am currently a counselor educator and director for the CMHC graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. If you've been a member of the Well Mind community, you already know Jenna, but if you haven't listened to her previous episodes, then you are in for a treat! She is an amazing person in every way and I am grateful to call her my friend. True to form, themes of self-care, wellness, habit formation, system setting, values, and relationship health and so much more permeate our chat. She also shares the details about a very special project she worked on. This project is resulting in the creation of a wellness platform for educators. So much is asked of our teachers and Jenna speaks about how this educator wellness platform removes barriers that typically hold people back from engaging in wellness efforts. In the intro, I also share some important updates about the podcast and good things coming in 2023.

Welcome to the Well Mind podcast, I'm your host Dr. Ben Kohls, I am a professional mental health counselor, counselor educator, and currently the director of the clinical mental health graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. This is a special episode of the podcast, where I have not one, not two, but THREE guests on the show. Paul Tenhaken, in addition to being the mayor of Sioux Falls, SD, was one of 12 individuals that helped create and execute The 437 Project. I am also joined by two other members of this incredible team of people, Greg Koch and Kelly Marshall. In our conversation, I speak with Kelly, Paul, and Greg about the mental health crisis and their efforts to promote awareness, raise funds, and instill hope in communities across the state of South Dakota. Every community is being impacted by suicide and mental health struggles and it is my hope that sharing this story about the 437 Project will inspire you to step forward and take action to support the mental health needs in your community. You probably don't have to run 437 miles, but maybe this group of 12 runners is on to something. I had a wonderful time speaking with Kelly, Paul, and Greg and I'm humbled to able to share their story with you in episode 35 of the Well Mind Podcast; The 437 Project.

I've been a practicing clinical mental health counselor for over 15 years and am currently a counselor educator and director for the CMHC graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. This conversation is a real treat to share with you. My guest is Dr. Josh Knabb. He is a board-certified clinical psychologist, licensed in California to practice psychology. As an administrator, educator, trainer, speaker, writer, researcher, and clinician, he is passionate about helping Christians to confidently draw upon the rich psychological and spiritual resources within their own faith tradition in order to grow closer to God and others and develop a deeper, more enduring contentment in Him in the midst of suffering. We explore themes and topics related to Christian mindfulness, contemplation, worldview; the integration of the Christian faith and evidence-based psychotherapy practices; strengthening the legitimacy of faith-informed psychological interventions; understanding and relating to our suffering differently; and examining the rich traditions of the Christian faith for practices that strengthen our endurance and deepen our reliance on God's faithfulness.

The Well Mind is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics, with a special emphasis on mental wellness. I'm your host Dr. Ben Kohls. I've been a practicing clinical mental health counselor for over 15 years and am currently a counselor educator and director for the CMHC graduate program at Bethany Lutheran College. For this episode, I invited one of our adjunct faculty, Dr. Ashley Schoof, to join me for a conversation on an evidence-based intervention for working with kids and teens. Ashley is the professor for our program's child and adolescent counseling course and she is the clinical director for an youth focused intensive day treatment program, called Strong, located in inner city Milwaukee Wisconsin. Ashley is passionate about her work and generously shares her depth of knowledge and experience in helping kids and teens from hard places with their mental health. In our conversation, Ashley lays out the fundamental pillars for early attachment and how trauma and other adverse childhood experiences derail the neurological processes of development for healthy self-regulation and executive functioning. She and her team at Strong implement the Trust-Based Relational Intervention or TBRI, which is an evidence-based approach to helping kids and teens heal emotionally, relationally, and neurologically. We take a deep dive into the practices and applications of TBRI from a treatment perspective as well as how this approach can be implemented by parents in the home and teachers in the classroom. This episode is a must listen for anyone who deeply cares about the relationships they have with the kids and teens in their life. It was a joy to have the chat with Ashley and a privilege to share it with you today.

The Well Mind Podcast is a space for meaningful conversations about a broad range of wellness related topics, with a special emphasis on mental wellness. How is your professional life impacting your overall wellness? How can we support the younger generation as they explore their career path? What are the intersections between your career, values, identity, and faith? These are just a few of the themes I explore in my conversation with Dr. Karina Clennon in episode 23 of the podcast. Karina brings a wealth of insight and experience regarding the world of career development. She shares a grounded perspective on the realities of the journey of vocation.

It was a blast hosting the first LIVE episode of The Well Mind Podcast! I welcomed three mental health professionals that currently serve as counselors for students at Bethany Lutheran College. In an effort to directly address the contemporary challenges that college students are facing, I asked listeners and students from three different campuses here in southern Minnesota to submit their wellness related questions in advance of the show. We answered questions and discussed topics ranging from time management and productivity, social media use and its impact on our mental wellbeing, to skills for improving your adaptive coping in the pandemic, dealing with depression and isolation, and getting better sleep. The guests offer a positive perspective, compassionate encouragement, and an abundance of tools and techniques to improve and sustain your wellness through these unprecedented times. Roundtable members: Deneal Sperle, MS, LPC; Joseph Lundsten, MA; Ashley Guthmiller, Graduate Intern.
