In today's digital age, viral social media trends are often seen as harmless fun, but they can pose significant spiritual and physical dangers to our children. These trends, driven by likes and shares, often encourage behavior that clashes with biblical values. They can lead our teens to seek validation from an online audience of their peers rather than from God, who created them uniquely in His image. The Apostle Paul warns us in Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Many of these trends encourage conformity to the ways of the world. They can lead to comparison, anxiety, and even recklessness, pushing our children to prioritize a moment of online fame over their safety and spiritual well-being. It's our duty to guide our children through this digital landscape with wisdom and discernment. By discussing these trends openly and grounding our conversations in Scripture, we can help them to stand firm in their faith.

When you say “yes” to something you genuinely believed God was asking of you—a mission trip, graduate school, even becoming a FOCUS missionary—what do you do when later everything feels too heavy, too complicated, or simply not what you expected? In this episode, Jessica sits down with Fr. John Ezratty to explore the tension between commitment, freedom, and discernment through the lens of St. Ignatius of Loyola.Together they walk through real situations missionaries and students face: • What if I discerned something well, but now I feel overwhelmed and want to step back? • What if I didn't pray about a commitment beforehand—am I still bound to it? • Can difficult circumstances be a sign that God is redirecting me? • How do I know when perseverance is holy… and when letting go is faithful?Drawing from Ignatian wisdom, Fr. John offers practical steps, prayerful tools, and spiritual clarity for anyone wrestling with a “yes” that suddenly feels uncertain. Whether you're tempted to break a commitment or unsure what God is communicating through your current season, this conversation will help you discern with peace, freedom, and maturity.Fr. John Ignatius Ezratty is a priest with the Archdiocese of Denver. He is also a popular speaker at SEEK and a former FOCUS national chaplain.

What happens when one of the world's most well-known spiritual teachers turns her back on everything she built? And what can we learn from it?   In this episode, I share my raw reflections after reading Doreen Virtue's book Deceived No More, a journey that stirred deep inquiry into the path of false light, spiritual sovereignty, and the rise of fear-based doctrine disguised as salvation.   Doreen's story is one that many of us were impacted by. Her teachings were pivotal for me, and for many of you listening. So when she renounced it all to follow a fundamentalist Christian path, I had to understand… why?   This isn't about judging her choices, it's about exploring the deeper layers behind these spiritual pivots. What leads someone to abandon a lifetime of healing work? Is it true spiritual revelation… or the exhaustion of carrying it all alone?   We dive into the rise of false light, the distortion of Christ Consciousness, and what it means to walk a path of true divine connection, one rooted in empowerment, not fear.   f you've ever questioned your spiritual path, felt confused about teachings that once felt like truth, or needed permission to reclaim your own knowing, this episode is for you. You get to trust yourself. You get to be sovereign in your connection. And you don't need fear to lead your spiritual walk.   Let's walk through this together, lovingly, honestly, and with deep reverence for truth.   If this resonates, share your thoughts below and let me know what stood out to you most.

Awakening requires presence, shadow alchemy, and soul-level re-patterning. Jenna Lee maps a practical path from trauma to transformation: regulate the nervous system, feel what's been repressed, and become “mirror consciousness” for yourself and others. She distinguishes Akashic Records from Akashic Enlightenment — a higher-dimensional “Book of Truth” aimed at ascension work, not biography. Through breath, sensory grounding, forgiveness (especially of self), and embodied action, dormant gifts return: intuition, light language, and co-creative manifestation from neutrality. Her live transmission closes with a guided, chakra-by-chakra attunement to restore confidence, creativity, safety, and connection to Source. The invitation is clear: stop looping old stories and embody your divine blueprint — now. 00:00 Why Presence First: Setting the Field 02:10 Jenna's Catalyst: PTSD, Repressed Memories, Return 05:05 Gifts Re-Activate: Light Language and Energy Awareness 06:40 What Is Presence?

“If the computer gets smarter than me… is that a problem?” Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks tackle the fear narrative around AI by comparing it to other powerful tools (cars, planes) that required strong safeguards—not panic. They explore why AI lacks moral intuition, how optimization without ethics can harm, and why deepfakes and spoofing demand new habits of verification. The conversation lands in the three lenses: honesty about our fears (self), charity through wiser trust and presence (others), under a living relationship with God that anchors what's real.Key IdeasPower needs guardrails: like aviation checklists and redundancies, AI calls for safety, oversight, and clear human control.Limits of machines: AI optimizes; it doesn't intuit, repent, or take responsibility—persons do.Edge cases matter: “no-win” moments (e.g., deer vs. car) reveal why human moral criteria must shape algorithms.Deception risk: voice/video/text imitation raises the bar for validation; adopt healthy skepticism and confirm identity more often.Back to reality: prioritize embodied relationships and parish life; let the Church help form attention, virtue, and trust.Links & References (none explicitly cited in this episode)CTA If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

The world might call you an “empath” and tell you you're just absorbing emotions. But what if that sensitivity isn't a burden to manage, but a sacred calling to embrace?In this episode, Vianca Joy reveals how God transforms your natural sensitivity into the supernatural charism of intercession.

In this episode, Jessie Cruickshank sits down with her friend and fellow leader Tracy Matthews for a rich, grounding conversation on what it means to cultivate spiritual attunement in life and leadership. Tracy shares vivid imagery God gave her during prayer—living water seeping into dry, cracked places—and invites us into a way of leading that begins not with planning and striving, but with presence, receptivity, and alignment with God's heart. Together, Jessie and Tracy explore the difference between self-driven leadership and Spirit-led wayfinding, how teams can discern God's guidance together, why shared power and co-regulation matter for emotional and spiritual health, and how slowing down can open us to wisdom we've been missing. They talk courage, disappointment, group culture, and the surprising freedom that comes when we release our grip on the plan and follow the Spirit's gentle nudge instead. This is a practical and deeply encouraging conversation for anyone longing to hear God more clearly and lead with greater peace, courage, and connection.ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjess ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjessJessie Cruickshank is a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister.

Cloven tongues like fire appeared. All were filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke in other tongues. Worship and the Holy Spirit People worship differently, and that's okay. Anticipation of uninhibited worship in heaven. Appreciation for times when the "wind blows" in church (the Holy Spirit is present). There are times for stillness for the seed to fall. Desire for the Holy Ghost in the church. If the Holy Ghost wasn't present, would seek it elsewhere. If one doesn't feel the Spirit, there may be something wrong in their heart. Not the fault of others or external factors. God is not a respecter of persons; He blesses all equally. If you want the Holy Ghost, He will give you all you want of Him. If one doesn't like the Holy Spirit, this church may not be a good fit. The Holy Ghost needs to lead in everything done in the church. The Pastor's Perspective The more people filled with the Holy Ghost, the better for the pastor. Contrast between preaching to an unresponsive crowd and a Spirit-filled congregation. Signs of a Spirit-filled congregation: raised hands, tears, smiles, recognition of God's presence. God is the answer, and the question is when. God administers through the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost dwells within, not just visits. The Holy Ghost stays until the job is done, taking believers to the end. Belief that one couldn't make it without the Holy Spirit's help. Old Testament Examples of the Holy Spirit (Wind) The Word of God is discerned by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit helps people get what they need from the Word. Exodus 14:21 - Deliverance at the Red Sea Moses stretched out his hand, and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind. The wind blew all night, dividing the waters. The Holy Ghost has been a deliverer. The Holy Ghost is a wind that will deliver the people of God all the time. The Holy Ghost is always working, whether one is conscious of it or not. The Holy Ghost frustrates the devil. Reference to Job, whose hedge was removed, but his life was protected. The Holy Spirit's deliverance is still moving today. Numbers 11:31 - Sustenance in the Wilderness The children of Israel murmured and were hungry. God sent a wind that brought quails from the sea. The quails fell around the camp, two cubits high (three feet deep). The Holy Ghost brings what is needed to make it another day. The wind of sustenance feeds the soul. The Holy Ghost moves to make sinners uncomfortable and saints rejoice. God used the Spirit to gather billions of quail. The wind brought sustenance when it was needed most. Reference to Ezekiel, where the Lord asked if dry bones could live. The bones came together, but they were still dead until the wind blew into them. 2 Samuel 5 - Assurance David sought God before going into battle. David asked if he should go up against the enemy and if God would deliver them. God loves zeal but also gives assurance. God told David to wait for a sign: the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees. The wind will start blowing, and you'll know it's time to go. The wind gives assurance. The unction is needed to preach. Without the unction, it's just teaching. The Holy Ghost won't bear witness to anything untrue or false. The Holy Ghost will bear witness if your heart is for God. Jonah 1:4 - Repentance Jonah ran from God because he didn't want to preach to the people of Nineveh. You can't run from God; the Holy Ghost is everywhere. The Lord sent a great wind into the sea, causing a mighty tempest. The wind of God can break, stop, or wake one up. The wind of God blows to bring repentance. God can use the Holy Ghost to bring you to a place of repentance. New Testament Promise and Provision of the Holy Spirit (Wind) John 16:7 - Promise of the Comforter It is expedient that Jesus go away so the Comforter (Holy Ghost) can come. The Comforter is the Holy Ghost. Jesus had bound Himself to an earthly body and couldn't be everywhere. The Holy Ghost isn't bound to anything. Jesus promised to send the wind of God (the Holy Spirit). Acts 1:4-5 - Promise of Baptism with the Holy Ghost Jesus commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father. John baptized with water, but they would be baptized with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will lead and guide in all truth and righteousness. Acts 2:1 - Provision of the Holy Spirit On the day of Pentecost, they were all with one accord in one place. Suddenly, there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind. It filled all the house where they were sitting. The Spirit of God still does that today. When people are walking with God, the wind will blow in their lives. All that Jesus was trying to tell them became clear when the wind started blowing. John 3:7 - Born of the Spirit Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth. So is everyone that is born of the Spirit. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; Jesus was talking about being born again in the spirit. The Holy Ghost had to blow over and be partaking in your salvation. God is saving your spirit, not your flesh. The Holy Spirit has blown in the lives of His children from the time He left them until now. The wind is still moving as long as the people of God are on planet Earth. Discernment of Spirits There are strange winds blowing today that are not of God. These winds are false and imitate the Spirit of God. They are a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Try the spirits to see of what sort they are. Not every spirit that blows in your life is of God. People are getting caught up in smoke, mirrors, darkness, and strobe lights. These things appeal to the flesh and stimulate the emotions but are not of God. If it ain't of God, you ain't getting born again. Be sure every spirit you face is Him. Gratitude for the rushing mighty wind that blew into the hearts of those men and forever changed them. The wind leads or stops them, making them go to the left or right because He knows. Invitation and Closing Invitation for those who need the Lord to come forward. If you haven't felt the wind of God in a while, get right with Him. Repent of your sin, turn from it, yield yourself to God, and trust Him. He will forgive you of your sin and purge you of all unrighteousness. He will forgive you if you confess it. The wind of the Holy Spirit will start blowing in your life again.

EP268: How Discernment Helps You Emerge Stronger

True Stride

This week, I wanted to dive deeper into something that came up from our last conversation about unburdening ourselves as we head toward the end of the year. One of our Striders reached out and said, "I love that word discernment, but sometimes I struggle with knowing when I'm releasing something for my own good and when I'm just isolating." That question really resonated with me because I've been there too with trying to figure out if I'm stepping back for clarity or pulling away out of self-protection. So in this episode, we're exploring what it means to practice discernment versus isolation, and how both can show up in our lives. There have been times when I've had to hit pause and really tune in to what my own voice was saying. These are moments when I needed quiet to think, to breathe, to just be with myself. There have also been times when pulling back for a bit was the kindest thing I could do. That space wasn't about pushing people away. It was about giving myself room to reset. When we bring a little more awareness, intention, and compassion to those moments, it changes everything. It helps us reflect instead of react. Since the holidays are coming, with all the emotions they tend to stir up, it feels like the perfect time to notice what we're running toward and what we might be running from. The pauses we take can either drain us or refuel us, so let's be mindful of which kind we're choosing. On today's Wise Walk we'll see how discernment can help us reemerge stronger, clearer, and more connected than before. As you reflect on your life, are there times when you know you need to take a step back, step aside, or release something, and you feel that discernment guiding you? Do you recognize moments when you react, withdraw without reflection, or feel too overwhelmed to process what's happening? How can you hold space for both discernment and isolation and understand when each is serving you? Can you feel good about applying them when necessary, with the hope that both lead to deeper connection? Are you withdrawing without reflection, reacting out of hurt or defensiveness, or intentionally isolating to heal and protect yourself? Can you be aware of what's motivating your choice and what outcome you truly want? Are you stepping back to foster connection or pushing others away out of fear or exhaustion? Where in your life are you practicing healthy discernment that supports connection? Where might you be isolating without a plan for how to reemerge better? Are you running toward something that aligns with your growth or running away from something that feels hard to face? With that awareness, can you make new choices that bring you the support you need? Can you focus on what you're running toward and what you're running away from, and take action that helps you reemerge stronger? Do you sense when it's time to immerse yourself in community and when it's time to rest and recharge in solitude, knowing both can help you reemerge stronger?  I want to thank the Strider who reached out with that thoughtful question. It reminded me how powerful it is to pause, reflect, and check in with ourselves.  The holidays can stir up so much joy, nostalgia, and even heaviness. It's okay to take a step back when you need to. Until next week, please remember to listen to your heart, honor your energy, and always make space for fun along the way. In this episode: [03:05] I share Google's definition of discernment being the ability to make sound judgments through perception and wisdom. Isolation is the state of being alone or separate from others. [04:04] Sometimes when making a big decision, I would isolate myself from others, so I could reflect on my own voice. [05:26] Language can have different meanings, but when I was judged for isolation I was actually using discernment to look into my heart and find what's best for me. [06:08] The temporary timeout we give ourselves is good, because it allows us to re-emerge better. Discernment can foster connection when we find what's true to ourselves. [07:24] It's important for us to know the difference between isolating and searching for discernment. [08:04] We should also be aware of when our isolation is reactive. [09:22] The other day my aunt's horse, Blue, needed dental work. I had to take a step back because I have some trauma around dental work. [11:20] It's important for us to have discernment to navigate and flow with things that come up in life. [12:59] My goal is to emerge stronger and clearer. [13:32] Holidays can be hard emotionally for many different reasons. [16:03] Thank you to The Strider who asked this question. It was really helpful for me to self reflect on the differences between isolation and discernment.

Discernment helps us cut through that noise, in our relationships, decisions, and the way we interpret the world around us. It's not about judgment or perfection; it's about developing the inner radar that helps us know what's true, what's safe, and what's aligned.Together, Nathalie and I unpack what discernment really looks like in practice: how we recognise it, why we override it, and what it costs and gives us when we finally trust it, so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.We discuss:What discernment actually isWhy we struggle to trust our own discernmentHow culture, social media, and information overload cloud our clarityNathalie's Liberation Cycle: disrupt, extract, and release, a process that turns awareness into real changeHow discernment helps us protect our energy, set boundaries, and still stay open-heartedThe cost of choosing truth over belonging and how discernment can deepen connection rather than destroy itSimple, real-world ways to start practising discernment in daily lifeLinks & resources Find out more about guest Narhalie Martine: https://www.drnathaliemartinek.com/Read Nathalie's Substack article 'How to Develop Discernment' Nathalie's 'Hacking Narcissism' substack: https://www.hackingnarcissism.com/Discernment Series Reflective Reset Guides designed to help you pause, reflect, and practice discernment in real-life moments.

In this enchanted, electric episode 65 of Medium Curious, Sarah and Jane sit down with Zaneta Sykes—interdisciplinary sound artist, spirit medium, and creator of Art Witch and Invitations from the Land—for a journey into what it really means to be in relationship with the living world. Zaneta shares how bullying pushed them away from drums and into science… until a clear, external voice at a jam session said, “Go to music school.” That single piece of guidance rerouted everything—ultimately weaving together percussion, environmental science, psychic work, and spirit mediumship into one luminous, decolonial, more-than-human path. They walk us through encounters that feel like myth but land like proof: a dream of a giant white fox, a real-life meeting with an Eastern coyote, barred owls arriving on cue, an aunt in spirit validated by banana pudding and horn-rimmed glasses, and a land conservancy “randomly” inviting Zaneta to create a full forest soundscape project. Along the way, they unpack mediumship as relationship, witch as wise listener, and why the Earth herself is calling more of us to become bridges. This conversation is wild, grounded, funny, reverent, glitchy (hi, energy surge), and full-body-truth level inspiring. Key Takeaways Mediumship is relationship, not performance. It's an ongoing, two-way conversation with ancestors, spirits of place, animals, elements, and the unseen. The Earth is calling mediums. Zaneta shares guidance from the woods: mediumship is how we remember ourselves as nature and undo the illusion of separation. Signs are specific, not vague. Banana pudding, iconic glasses, perfectly-timed owls—clear, weird details help us trust what comes through. Your path can be multimodal. Music, science, magic, ancestry, and activism don't have to compete; they braid into a single, truthful life. Reverence is a practice. Singing to forests, rivers, and beings of place is less aesthetics, more consent, respect, and genuine reciprocity. Not every spirit (or human) gets access. Discernment matters. You don't have to call in everyone, every time. Slow is holy. Returning to the same land again and again—listening instead of extracting—is medicine in a culture obsessed with speed and productivity. “Witch” is reclamation. For Zaneta, it honors persecuted healers, matriarchs, and wisdom keepers, and names power as interconnectedness, not domination. Mediumship expands capacity. As Sarah offers, connecting with Spirit stretches what we can hold—and gives others permission to expand too. “Mediumship is not a trick. It's a relationship.” “The Earth is calling people to be mediums—so we remember we are nature, not separate from it.” “Not every being wants to be called in. Consent exists in the spirit world, too.” “Witch, to me, is someone willing to address the suffering of the world with sacred, grounded care.” “Power isn't something we own. It's something that moves through all of us when we're listening.” Music courtesy of Chris Dingman Sound art courtesy of Zaneta: Sound Art Magic Art Witch Podcast Sound Art Magic Instagram Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).
