Something is shifting beneath the surface of our collective story.Neptune and Pluto are moving through a long, rare sextile—two of astrology's great agents of dissolution and transformation working together as the old world changes and a new one struggles to take form.But the future isn't simply something that happens to us.We participate in what comes next.In Wednesday's Living Astrology, we'll explore the Neptune–Pluto sextile through the lens of our ongoing **Architecture of the Future** conversation. What is dissolving? What is being transformed? What possibilities are beginning to emerge—and what role do our individual choices play in shaping what comes next?And then Venus joins the conversation.As Venus continues her descent through Scorpio toward her coming retrograde, **Tea With Venus** asks a deeply personal question:**What do you value enough to carry forward into the life you are becoming?**Relationships. Agreements. Desires. Self-worth. Resources. The things we have loved—and perhaps the things we have outgrown.The future may be being rewritten, but we still get to decide what we bring with us.Join me Wednesday for **Living Astrology: Where Myth & Soul meet Astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.**

Episode #1188 This is a revisit of one of our most impactful episodes. What if your wife actually wants a better sex life just as much as you do? In this episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt is joined by his wife, Erin Holt, for an honest conversation about one of the most misunderstood topics in marriage: what women truly want when it comes to intimacy. Rather than focusing on techniques or quick fixes, Doug and Erin reveal why emotional safety, connection, and intentional leadership create the foundation for a fulfilling sex life. Erin shares insights from conversations with women, clients, and her own experience, explaining why emotional intimacy outside the bedroom is essential for physical intimacy inside it. She also discusses the mental load many women carry, why conflict avoidance damages attraction, and how men can rebuild trust by becoming more present, dependable, and emotionally grounded. Together, Doug and Erin explore practical ways men can strengthen their relationships by creating emotional safety, improving communication, taking initiative at home, and investing in learning what truly brings their partner pleasure. It's an open, practical discussion designed to help couples move beyond obligation and create genuine connection. Whether you're navigating a season of disconnection or simply want a stronger, healthier marriage, this revisit episode offers practical insights that can transform your relationship.

Have a question or comment? Send it to Kristin!What happens when you love your partner deeply but your desires don't quite match?Amanda Dames, the Kink Consultant, certified sexologist, sex and relationship coach, and former professional dominatrix, joins for a candid conversation about kink, intimacy, sexual desire, communication, consent, trust, and shame.Amanda shares how she went from working at The Wall Street Journal to becoming a professional dominatrix in New York City and eventually helping individuals and couples navigate mismatched desires, fantasies, fetishes, BDSM, and deeper intimacy.In this episode, we explore...• Why it can feel so difficult to tell your partner what you actually want• How to talk about sexual fantasies without creating pressure• Why understanding the feeling beneath a kink can change the conversation• The difference between a kink and a fetish• Whether kink is always connected to trauma• Sexual shame and the fear of being judged or rejected• The connection between neurodivergence, sensory play, and BDSM• Why kink may have a major “PR problem”• Female dominance, power, and stepping into authority• Amanda's own 24/7 Dom/sub relationship• How consent and boundaries can create deeper trust and intimacy• How owning your desires can build confidence far beyond the bedroomOne of the biggest takeaways? Sharing a fantasy doesn't mean it has to become reality. Sometimes it gets explored physically. Sometimes it lives in dirty talk. And sometimes simply telling the truth about your desires can deepen a relationship.Ultimately, this conversation goes far beyond kink. It's about emotional safety, honest communication, self-trust, and creating relationships where both people can feel fully seen without making the other person responsible for fulfilling every desire.If you're curious or have ever struggled with mismatched sexual desires, kink, BDSM, fantasies, consent, sexual shame, communication, or creating deeper intimacy with your partner, this episode is for you.Learn more about Amanda at amandadames.com, follow @the_kinkconsultant on Instagram, and listen to The Kink Consultant Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Resources for Couples:Guide for couples with mismatched desire to have more open and honest conversations in a safe framework: https://www.amandadames.com/Speak-Your-Desires-with-Confidence-opt-in-1BDSM Menu for couples who are curious to explore each other's kinks: https://www.amandadames.com/bdsmlistSupport the showConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramFacebook YouTubeKristin's Book:Sex, Drugs, & Soul Spotify AudiobookSubscribe:YouTubeSpotifyApplePeptides:Oral Quicksilver GHK/Copper Peptidehttps://elliemd.com/kristinbirdwellMicrodose

It's tempting to try and measure the Christian life by what we're doing for God. We want to live wisely, give generously, and declare urgently. Desires like these are good, but they can quietly leave us carrying a responsibility God never gave us—as though his purposes ultimately depend upon our ability to accomplish them. Scripture offers something far better: a life of humble dependence upon the God whose grace precedes our service and whose promises do not depend upon our strength. We can work diligently and faithfully without believing everything rests on us. We can face an uncertain future without needing to know how everything will turn out. And we can wait confidently for promises we could never fulfil ourselves. So what does a life look like when our confidence rests not in what we can accomplish for God, but in what God has promised to accomplish?

Series: Bryan Gibson Meeting - September 2026Service: Gospel MeetingType: SermonSpeaker: Bryan Gibson

In this episode, Hillary unpacks the difference between small desires and big desires, and why so many of us get distracted by the byproduct of our work instead of the actual point of it. Using the bus stop analogy from Dr. Sue Morter (coming to the podcast soon) and a Kabbalistic teaching on tikkun, she walks through why every person, relationship, and challenge in your life is a vehicle — not the destination.She shares the story of the "blue diamond" — the one thing your soul actually came here to bring back — and why so many of us get to the end of a chapter having built everything except that. Plus: a real client story of a training that didn't sell out the way she wanted, and the full transformation that happened because of it, not despite it.If you've been in a season of asking for answers, feeling the pressure to perform, or wondering why things aren't going "your way" — this episode is the reframe you didn't know you needed.Become CERTIFIED in HD in the Advanced Human Design CertificationTHE EXPANSION LIVE TOUR: Join us in person for a transformative day event in AustraliaTHE EXPANSION: Expand into your highest potential and timeline for conscious business owners, coaches and entrepreneurs InstagramGet your free Human Design Chart

Why Thinking About Your Future Isn't Enough to Change ItIf you have tried to think your way into a new future and stayed stuck in the same loop, this episode teaches the embodied practice that can actually move you.Description:This episode is for the woman who has done the visualization work, said the affirmations, and pictured her future self clearly, and still finds herself circling the same mental patterns. Christel names the real reason this happens: energy and attention do build momentum, but if your mind is looping, thought alone will not shift your frequency.In response, she teaches future casting, a practice that uses voice, breath, and body together instead of thought alone. You will come away understanding why active participation, speaking your future out loud while breathing and feeling it in your body, works differently than passive visualization, and why the practice has to start by anchoring you fully in the present moment rather than pulling you away from it.The episode includes a full guided meditation of the practice, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space, so you can hear exactly what an embodied future casting session sounds like and try your own version afterward.What You'll LearnWhy looping mental patterns block conventional law of attraction thinking, even when your energy and attention are in the right place The core distinction between passive visualization and active future casting Why future casting must be anchored in the present moment before it can open a path forward How voice, breath, and body work together as instruments to move energy How each element, earth, water, fire, air, and space, holds a different part of the practice Why imperfect participation still works, and why you do not need the words to be exactCHAKRA RECODE INVITATION: If you've ever felt like your sensitivity is too much because you feel everything and you don't know what to do with it, this is for you.

In this episode, Mohammad Hakima tells Jared about immigrating to the United States from Iran, experiencing culture shock in America, and the very different mechanisms of social control he encountered in each country. They discuss the freedoms that can be hard-won in Iran versus the subtler pressures of American life, including what Mohammad calls “manufactured desires”: the ways culture and consumerism can shape what we want while convincing us those desires are entirely our own.They also talk about how encouragement from others led Mohammad to take writing seriously and how writing ultimately gave him a greater sense of purpose. Mohammad reflects on the different possibilities of fiction and nonfiction, how the act of writing can illuminate where you need to go next, and his decision to pursue an MFA at The New School as a way to build community around a shared passion. They also explore the freedom of learning and teaching in an educational environment that encourages experimentation and the relationships that you can form through an MFA. Mohammad Hakima is a New York City-based author who moved to the US from Tehran, Iran and started writing after learning to speak English. His work is published in Prairie Schooner, Bellevue Literary Review, Black Warrior Review, Boulevard, Passages North, and more. He is the winner of Boulevard magazine's 2024 Nonfiction Contest. He's a 2024 Jack Hazard Fellow and a 2026 Periplus Fellow. He has also received a fellowship from Hawthornden Brooklyn, where he teaches a fiction workshop.

Mrs. Malka Schwarzmer - 3. The Core of Our Desires & why we want Mo by Congregation Beth Jacob

we're talking about big, bold, audacious prayers and what the Bible really teaches about asking God for the desires of your heart. Scripture tells us in Psalm 37:4, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” But this isn't about treating God like a vending machine. It's about becoming so aligned with God that His desires begin shaping your desires.We break down how to pray boldly, grow your faith, seek God's will, and stop limiting what you believe God can do in your marriage, family, purpose, business, finances, health, and calling.Throughout the Bible, ordinary people prayed extraordinary prayers because they served an extraordinary God. As Christians, we shouldn't be afraid to ask, seek, knock, believe, and pray with expectation while remaining surrendered to God's will.Desire to become a High Level Husband who is on Fire, Free, and Followed?

Episode Summary: When the wisest biblical writer who ever lived begins a command with the three words, “above all else,” we need to pay attention. That is the way that Proverbs 4:23 begins: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” As we come in our study of the Ten Commandments, to the tenth, we realize that this final commandment goes beyond our behavior to the matter of our hearts. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's. (Ex 20:17). As I have meditated on this commandment I've come to believe that God takes the sin of coveting much more seriously than we do. This episode looks at the vital matter of the desires of our hearts and how they can lead us astray.For Further Prayerful Thought.In what ways does the concept of “over-desire” which is the meaning of the Greek word for both lust and covetousness make sense as a description of both words?Paul stated that covetousness was idolatry. How would you explain that? What do you think is the significance of the bookends of the Ten Commandments, the first and tenth, addressing the issue of heart desires?Do you agree that God takes the sin of coveting more seriously than we usually do? Do you think we are worse at ignoring this commandment's significance than ignoring the other commandments?Which principles for preempting covetousness most stood out to you? For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Third Eye Hypnosis: When You Want Something Deeply but Don't Trust the Path to Getting ItWhat happens when you deeply desire something but discover that surrendering it to divine guidance brings up fear, resistance, and the need for control?Episode DescriptionYou can believe in divine guidance and still struggle to surrender your desires to it. When you imagine letting go of control, what happens in your body? What fears or resistance appear, and what might they reveal about the way you relate to trust, desire, abundance, and manifestation?In this crown chakra hypnosis journey, Christel explores desire as potential divine inspiration rather than simply ego-based wanting. The journey moves through expanded awareness and the "timeline of infinity," while continually returning to the physical body and the human experience. The focus is not on escaping humanity, but on integrating divine and infinite wisdom into embodiment.The episode also explores what happens when you stop identifying with old energetic imprints and mental patterns connected to experiences of powerlessness, helplessness, or struggle. You are invited to consider how the past can remain unchanged while your relationship with it changes, creating a different energetic pathway into what comes next.What You'll Learn How the crown chakra is described as a gateway between individual consciousness and infinite divine wisdom.  The distinction between limited, ego-based wanting and flowing with divine guidance.  Why surrendering desire can reveal fears and resistance around trust and control.  How the episode approaches past experiences that cannot be changed but can be received differently.  What it means to release old energetic imprints, mental pathways, wounds, vows, and codes associated with feeling powerless or helpless.  How to explore the relationship between spirituality, human embodiment, desire, abundance, and cultural or religious conditioning.Resources Mentioned:CHAKRA RECODE INVITATION:If you've ever felt like your sensitivity is too much because you feel everything and you don't know what to do with it, this is for you.

Is God required to grant the very things you’re praying for? And if Christ already wiped your record clean, why does the Bible still promise a reckoning? Pastor Mike Fabarez sits with two callers questioning prayer, a father’s drinking, and the judgment believers still face, in another edition of Ask Pastor Mike Live.

In this episode, Dr. Judith reveals why dissatisfaction can persist even in a “good life,” explaining that the problem often isn't wanting more but having too many competing desires pulling at once. She reframes the key question from “What do I want?” to “What part of me is doing the wanting?” noting desires can come from preference, real needs, fear, old wounds, comparison, absorbed expectations, or the soul's quieter pull toward truth, growth, and authenticity. Using examples like Angie avoiding conflict and Claire the caretaker, she shows how unrecognized contradictions can make relationships feel disappointing and turn unspoken needs into others' responsibility. She offers a practical exercise—“the desire beneath the desire”—to identify what we believe a want will give us and what belongs to circumstances versus inner attention, emphasizing awareness over suppression.00:00 Why Enough Feels Empty01:01 Wanting Is Human02:24 Who Is Wanting03:28 Midlife Wants Multiply05:57 Desire Levels Explained08:12 Divine Alignment09:05 Too Many Drivers11:40 Angie Conflict Example14:13 Relationship Contradictions17:19 Claire Caretaker Example20:16 Soul Perspective23:33 Prism Of Wants25:33 Desire Beneath Desire27:46 Weekly Invitation28:40 Closing And Next Week

What do you really want, and are your desires drawing you closer to God?In Matthew 7:7–12, Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock with confidence, persistence, and trust. God is a good Father who knows exactly what we need. Sometimes He answers our prayers by changing our circumstances, and sometimes He uses those circumstances to form something deeper within us.In this message, “What Do You Want?” we learn how to align our desires with God's heart, trust His answers, and live out the Golden Rule by choosing to love, bless, encourage, forgive, and serve others first.Join us at Pneuma Life Church as we continue through the Sermon on the Mount and discover what it truly looks like to follow Jesus.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

John writes to people he has already called forgiven, victorious, and children of the Father, and only then does he tell them not to love the world. He is not warning them off creation or people, but off a whole spirit of life running against God: the flesh craving consolation, the eyes craving what belongs to someone else, and the pride craving to be seen as somebody. He calls those desires foreign, born of another father, so that a Christian carrying them raises the question of whose child he actually is. Then he warns that the world hosting those desires is already under sentence, passing away in the present tense, and that anyone still clutching it may find himself going down with what he refused to release. But the diagnosis in verse 15 is not only a threat, it is an explanation: you love the world because the love of the Father is not in you. Which means the way out was never self-hatred or gritted teeth, but a Father whose love is rich enough to make the world's offer taste bland.

Pastor Caleb J. Kinney Sunday Morning 8/30/26

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. — Philippians 4:8 Some people claim that we can establish a good habit in as little as 21 days. Others say it takes much longer—between 66 and 254 days—to form a good habit. By sheer effort and discipline, can we will ourselves into a habit of keeping the Ten Commandments?No. We can only begin on a new path of living for the Lord when we recognize that we need our sins forgiven through Christ and as the Holy Spirit breathes new, eternal life into us. Then, although initiating and achieving righteousness is not up to us, we are responsible to live as God calls us to do.In our reading for today the apostle Paul offers some helpful instructions for focusing our minds on practical Christian living. “In every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” he says. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”Paul also urges that we focus on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. Then, day by day, as we “keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25), we can form holy habits that please God.When we concentrate on what's pleasing to God while striving, in the Spirit, to obey him in gratitude, we become more loving toward him and others.  Holy Spirit, thank you for the gift of redeeming love. Renew our hearts and desires in Jesus to focus on pleasing you and loving others. Amen.

The Mind: Friend or EnemyWho is actually running your life—you, or your mind?The mind is constantly talking to us.I want this.I don't like that.I'm worried about this.I need to do that.What will people think of me?And very often, we simply follow where it leads. And we're often told: “Follow your dreams.” But should every desire that enters our mind really be followed?The Bhagavad-gita presents a sobering truth:“For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, the mind will remain the greatest enemy.”Our desires, choices, words and actions are profoundly influenced by what is happening within the mind. And those actions, in turn, shape the direction of our lives.So should we really “follow our dreams” simply because the mind produces them?Or should we first ask: Where is this desire taking me?Even Arjuna tells Krishna that controlling the restless mind seems as difficult as controlling the wind. Krishna acknowledges the difficulty—but says it can be done through practice and detachment.The yogic understanding goes even deeper.You are not your mind.Thoughts come and go. Desires arise and disappear. Emotions change. Memories surface and fade. Yet behind them is the conscious person who observes and experiences them—the eternal spiritual self.The challenge, therefore, is not to allow the mind to become the master.Through bhakti-yoga—hearing spiritual wisdom, chanting sacred names and offering our activities to Krishna—the mind itself can gradually become transformed.Like an iron rod placed repeatedly into fire eventually becoming red-hot and taking on the qualities of fire, the mind immersed in spiritual sound and spiritual activity can gradually become purified.The mind doesn't have to be our enemy.It can become one of our greatest spiritual assets—but we shouldn't let it drive the bus.Chapters 00:00:00 Invocation and the Mind as the Subject of the Lecture ‎ 00:01:42 Perception, the Senses, and the Mind as the Inner Screen ‎ 00:07:53 Modes of Material Nature and Mental Conditioning ‎ 00:13:09 Karma, the Restless Mind, and Krishna's Guidance ‎ 00:19:42 The Mind as Enemy: Harmful Choices and Modern Influences ‎ 00:31:34 Practice, Detachment, and a Case of Mental Recovery ‎ 00:38:33 Bhakti-Yoga and the Spiritualization of Mind and Body ‎ 00:49:01 Sense Desire, Mental Concoction, and Spiritual Happiness ‎ 00:57:17 Core Takeaway: Identity, Responsibility, and Direction ‎ 00:59:54 Human Life, Rebirth, and the Value of Spiritual Opportunity ‎ 01:07:14 Spiritual Form, Svarupa, and Siddha Svarupa‎#BhagavadGita #GuideForLife #MindControl #BhaktiYoga #Krishna #SpiritualWisdom #SelfRealization #YogaWisdom #SpiritualLife

Daniel Dydek preaches a message aimed at helping us look at our passions and desires to help us more align our lives with God's purpose for us.

This meditation is designed to help you align your subconscious mind with the goals and desires you want to bring into your life. Through deep relaxation, visualization, and intentional thought, you'll begin releasing limiting beliefs, strengthening your sense of worthiness, and creating an internal experience of your desired future as if it is already possible. Rather than simply wishing for what you want, this meditation helps you connect with the thoughts, emotions, and identity of the version of you who is ready to receive it—so you can begin taking aligned action from that place. Your desires can become more attainable when your inner world begins supporting the future you want to create. Connect With Us:

In this second part of our series on “The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage,” Dave Wiedis talks about what it means to live centered in the supremacy of Christ as the pathway to freedom, what to do with our longings, and how Christ's lordship supercharges our desires. A personal recommendation from ServingLeaders Founder and Executive Director, Dave Wiedis: “I like this episode because in it we explore the supremacy of Christ as our ruling passion and why that matters. Many Christians try to kill their desires or pathologize them. A more scriptural and comprehensive approach to desires and spiritual growth is reordering our desires under the supremacy of Christ.”Buy Dave's book here:On AmazonOn New Growth Press

There is in most persons a natural inclination to generation. These desires are absolutely necessary for the continuance and increase of mankind. God has appointed that his purposes should be accomplished, and his glory promoted, in this manner. Nevertheless, these desires are not to be enlarged as hell, but to be restrained and limited by the holy law of God. Things that are useful and necessary in themselves, according to the law of creation and conservation, are greatly perverted by our sad depravity. If we have no appetites — that is, no desire and inclination to eat and drink — we cannot be useful in our place, nor live long. Yet the glutton, the drunkard, and the voluptuary,greatly abuse the good creatures of God, to the shame, ruin, and destruction of soul and body.

In this episode of the sermon podcast from Oceanside Sanctuary, Pastor Jason Coker continues the series “After God's Own Heart,” exploring the life of David and asking what it really means for someone to be called a person “after God's own heart.” The sermon centers on Psalm 131 and the story of David sparing King Saul when he had the opportunity to kill him. Rather than taking Saul's life and claiming the throne he had been promised, David chooses mercy. The question is: How did David learn to resist his immediate desires and choose a different path? Psalm 131 offers a glimpse into David's inner life. David describes learning to calm and quiet his soul “like a weaned child with its mother.” Pastor Jason explores this powerful image as a picture of learning that we don't have to receive everything we want immediately in order to be okay. The sermon explores the relationship between desire, ambition, self-awareness, emotional maturity, and spiritual formation. Through the imagery of the child, the mother, and the poet, David is able to observe his own desires from a distance. That distance gives him the ability to recognize, understand, and manage those desires rather than being controlled by them. Jason then considers the role of contemplative practices—poetry, music, storytelling, gardening, building, painting, and other creative practices—as ways of creating space to better understand ourselves and our relationship with God. These practices, he suggests, can all become forms of prayer. Ultimately, this sermon challenges us to consider that prayer isn't simply asking God for what we want. Prayer can also be the practice of creating space to understand who we are, who God is, and how we can become people who exercise power and influence responsibly.

There is nothing better than being content in who God is and what He has provided. Unfortunately, many Christians struggle delighting in God. Our hope is to be fully satisfied with God and what He wants for us. Pastor Brandon helps us see just how to do that today. Psalms 37.

You feel called to something. You have vision, maybe even a clear sense that God put this in you. And still, weeks go by and you haven't touched it. Not because you're lazy. Because something underneath is running the show. In this episode, Sammi and I sit down after five months away from the mic and talk honestly about one of the most common struggles we hear from the coaches we work with: how to stay motivated and consistent when you don't have pressure forcing you, and how to know when lost motivation is actually a triggered state and not a character flaw. Together, we explore the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, what Maslow's hierarchy actually tells us about why some people self-sabotage to feel something, and why so many driven Christians flip between white-knuckling their way forward and drifting in what we call greasy grace. We talk about what it looks like to function from a triggered state while trying to build something, why an eight-year-old version of you can't make powerful content or hold a coaching session well, and what it actually takes to get regulated and return to your real self before you take the next step. We also get into why rushing to pray your pain away is often just self-abandonment with spiritual branding, and what it means to let God meet you in the middle of the mess instead. This episode is for anyone who: Feels genuinely called but loses steam the moment life gets busy or the pressure lifts. Struggles to stay consistent without someone external holding them accountable. Knows the vision but keeps getting hijacked by fear of failure, fear of judgment, or perfectionism before they can act on it. Is carrying the tension between dying to self and actually being allowed to want something. Desires to coach or lead from a place of overflow rather than performance and striving. Wants practical, grounded ways to take care of their heart so they can show up fully for the people depending on them. At its core, this is a conversation about what it means to stay connected to yourself and to God so that discipline and motivation become a natural overflow, not a grind you have to white-knuckle your way through.

86% of manifestation comes from your Creator Field (your thoughts, beliefs, actions). The remaining 14% is Source energy.Think of it like this:Your energy (Creator Field) = the carPhysical action = starting the car and putting it in driveSource = applying pressure to the gas pedalYou have free will and access to the same creative power as Source. Source doesn't control your actions, it amplifies what you're already doing.Your job is to (1) build your Creator Field with the exact thought broadcasts, beliefs, ingredients, and physical actions that help you move toward what you want. Then (2) allow Source to amplify that work you're already putting in.For advanced besties who feel ready for the exact thought broadcasts + reprogramming beliefs to do this, you get them in our 3-hr workshop recording, The Glow Foundation: https://www.alexandraninfo.com/theglowfoundationThis is where you start to master that 86% that takes up your Creator Field.

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. [NIV]

Today's Promise: Psalm 37:4 What does it really mean when the Bible says that God will give you the desires of your heart? At first glance, this promise can sound like a blank check from heaven. Just delight yourself in God, and He will give you whatever you want. But there is something much deeper happening in this promise.   When you delight in the Lord, your heart begins to change. Your focus shifts from what you want God to give you to who God is. You begin to trust Him as your source and provider. And as you trust Him, your desires begin to line up with His desires.   The things we think will make us happy, like more money, a new house, a better job, or more possessions, can never satisfy the deepest desires of our hearts. True peace, joy, meaning, love, and fulfillment are found in our relationship with God.

This conversation with bestselling author Elise Loehnen explores how spiritual practice can help us question the beliefs we've inherited about being a "good woman." Krista + Elise unpack shame, envy, comparison, and desire, revealing how these patterns shape our lives—and how spirituality can become a path back to authenticity. Together, they explore the misunderstood story of Mary Magdalene, the origins of the seven deadly sins, and why emotions like envy, anger, and longing aren't flaws to overcome but invitations to deeper self-understanding. Elise shares how questioning old narratives can become one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have. From body image + ambition to belonging + purpose, this conversation invites you to rethink the rules you've inherited and embrace a more intentional way of living. If you've ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to be "good" to be worthy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spirituality, freedom, and self-worth. We also talk about: The truth about Mary Magdalene that history left out How the "good girl" script shows up in everyday life Why envy is pointing you toward your next chapter Releasing guilt around desire, ambition, and wanting more Healing your relationship with food + your body The emotional cost of comparison + perfectionism How shame disconnects us from our intuition Choosing depth over performance in the age of social media Finding freedom beyond society's expectations Why your triggers may be your greatest teachers Resources: Instagram: @eliseloehnen Substack: eliseloehnen.substack.com Book: https://a.co/d/0hlAvZYx Sponsors: Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.
