What is cognitive distortion and how can a whole culture participate in it?

How we are digitally formed impacts how we are spiritually formed.

How does our current use of technology undermine our creativity? How can we clear space to better inhabit our creative nature? Today we talk with Ed Cyzewski about technology, creativity, and the importance of using technology intentionally, instead of letting technology use us. Ed recently released a new book, Reconnect. You can find out more about Ed and his new book HERE.

In this conversation, Matt Brough and Ed Cyzewski talk about some of the perils of technology on our spiritual life, from distraction to addiction. Are there ways to use technology that don't lead toward the more negative side? What do we need to understand about the psychology of apps and social media in order to reconnect with what is most important?

Author Ed Cyzewski, who grew up (and went to seminary) in the Philadelphia area & whose father once advertised his plumbing company on WFIL years ago, joins the program to discuss his book "Flee, Be Silent, Pray--Ancient Prayers For Anxious Christians." Ed shares insights such as if you're a believer in the Lord, His Spirit is already within you, praying for you [Romans 8:26]...and as such, prayer isn't "summoning God to come down to you" but rather "God is already present in you through the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus promised," and with that as a starting point, adding, "I need to clear away the clutter of my mind to be present for You. It's not an emptying of thoughts, it's more of a focus on God." Ed notes that it's easy to feel spiritually anxious for various reasons (often tied to performance or "measuring progress" in general) and that this type of prayer is instead more about grace, rest, and trust in what God is already doing in us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“How did you get into my living room?” That’s what people ask country music singer/songwriter Radney Foster. His songs get to the heart of heartbreak, and life in general. But are his songs borne from experience? You bet!   Radney Foster, Iconic Country Music Singer/Songwriter https://www.radneyfoster.com/ ()Highlights from the interview: Radney has written a book of short stories that match with songs on his album. Both are entitled: For You to See the Stars. Autographed copies can be ordered at https://www.radneyfoster.com/ (radneyfoster.com) Radney believes you have to get in there and dig around in your soul when you write. That’s when you know you’re doing it right. His book writing got a jump start when he fell ill with laryngitis and couldn’t speak for six weeks. Robert Frost quote: “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader.” When his ex-wife took their 5-year-old son and moved to France     Radney’s song, Godspeed, written and played for his son: https://www.youtube.com/user/RadneyFosterMusic/featured (More Radney Foster music and videos here.) Listen to the episode for the full story. Bonus material: http://stacybrookman.com/webinar1 ()       Stacy’s Journal Welcome to Stacy’s Journal! In this segment, I let you peek into my journal as I share my thoughts on a topic or resilience resource. Everyone gets angry sometimes. Often, it’s from events that are out of your control, like Radney’s ex-wife taking their son to France. Radney knew that anger and hatred would destroy him and he had to dig deep to figure out how to forgive the wrong. We’ve all experienced injustices – both large and small. In addition to therapy, which is incredibly helpful, prayer and meditation provided Radney with the means to get through his emotions. This is similar to last week’s guest, Ed Cyzewski, who has written about contemplative prayer. Doing the inner and outer work necessary to bring peace will help you overcome anger. Science backs the benefits of meditation too. Studies have shown that brain signaling during meditation increases in the left side of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for positive emotions, while activity decreases in the right side, responsible for negative emotions. My favorite meditation app is called Headspace. If you don’t know how to meditate and want an easy way to get started, check out the headspace app to build your serenity.   That’s all we have for today. Hey, remember you can go to https://www.radneyfoster.com/ (RadneyFoster.com) and get an autographed book and CD. Radney told me he autographs these while he’s watching ball games on TV. Last episode, Ed Cyzewski shared his thoughts on contemplative prayer and contemplative writing – so if you need a great way to stop distracting yourself from real life and become more present in the moment, you might want to go back and have a listen. Next week, we’ll interview Dr. Dan Allender who talks about the trauma of shame and the agreements we make with ourselves to hide that shame, so if you know anyone who may have been silenced by shame, be sure to stay tuned.   I love interacting with our listeners on social media.

Becoming a “man” isn’t a new idea – there are centuries of precedence. But it’s been pretty much forgotten – especially in terms of some sort of ceremony, some sort of moment. Developing Manhood From Boyhood Highlights from the interview: When does a boy become a man? If you’re a man and you’re reading this, there probably isn’t one moment you can pinpoint. Becoming a “man” isn’t a new idea – there are centuries of precedence. But it’s been pretty much forgotten – especially in terms of some sort of ceremony, some sort of moment. Feeding and clothing and sending your son to school isn’t enough. It’s a start, but that’s what it is – a start. These are some things that Evan did with his son in helping him to become a man: he prepared him for relationships, he showed him how to love a woman, he used the community of men around him to tell his son about their failures and what they learned from them, his son went into a place of solitude in the wilderness, his son’s mother wrote him a letter saying goodbye to him as a child, and they had a big ceremony to celebrate him becoming a man. On writing the book: If you want to write a book but don’t know if you can write a book, think of it less as writing a book and more as telling a story. Listen to the episode for the full story.     http://stacybrookman.com/webinar1 ()       Stacy’s Journal Welcome to Stacy’s Journal! In this segment, I let you peek into my journal as I share my thoughts on a topic or resilience resource. Evan’s interview got me thinking about those things we need to teach our children, but often miss out on. We are really not raising kids, are we? We’re really raising adults. We want our kids to grow up to be healthy and happy. In order to do that, we need to teach them a lot of things that aren’t taught in school. That goes for girls as well as boys. And it really does take a community. Maybe think about some of the kids that are in your life, whether it’s your own, or your nieces or nephews, grandkids, neighbor kids, or kids you are connected to in other ways. In what way can you, and I, help mold those kids, help them mature with the tools, skillset, and understanding they need to become resilient adults? What rites of passage need to come about? Who do you need to take under your wing or give a little advice to? I’m going to ponder that myself.   That’s all we have for today. Last episode, Matt Gagnon discussed methods to gracefully weather life’s transitions – so if you’ve had a recent transition in your life, or are going through one now, you might want to https://www.stacybrookman.com/mattgagnon/ (go back and have a listen).

Evangelicalism tends to create anxiety in us - that we're not doing enough to earn God's love. Author Ed Cyzewski joins us to share his path from anxiety to security, through the path of contemplative prayer.

What was the message that Jesus came to share with the world? What was it that Jesus seemed to always be talking about? What was the gospel he preached, embodied and then sent his disciples out to proclaim? Many seem to believe Jesus' message was primarily about information on how to go to heaven after you die. A read through the gospels and the book of Acts, however, reveals something far more beautiful and expansive than that. Special thanks to John Ortberg, Dave Johnson, Eugene Peterson, Barbara R.

A rather prominent Christian pastor was quoted in a popular magazine as saying this about the Jesus we find in Revelation: “In Revelation, Jesus is a pride-fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and a commitment to make someone bleed. This is a guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippy, diaper, halo Christ, because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up.” Sadly, his thoughts about the Jesus of Revelation are not entirely unique. Some have used the book of Revelation to depict a violent God, who supports violent acts and who ultimately brings the world to a violent end. When we dig in and read John's Revelation responsibly, however, we find something altogether different. Special thanks to Dave Johnson, Eugene Peterson, Barbara R.

Fast forward to the end of the world as we know it. What does it look like? What happens to us? Where do believers go? What is to become of the earth? Rapture theology would have you believe that Christians are sucked up into the air and go to be with God somewhere else, while creation and those who are left endure several years of suffering before everything left is annihilated. Scholars point out that this kind of thinking is so prevalent in culture that most Christians assume it must be true. But is it? Is this even a biblical idea? Let's talk about it.

In week three of our series in Revelation we look at a stunning claim about Jesus and what it means for each of us. Special thanks to Dave Johnson, Eugene Peterson, Barbara R.

Hermeneutics, pigs, poets, Picasso, pantsuits and the apocalypse? It must be week two of our journey through the Book of Revelation! Special thanks to Dave Johnson, Eugene Peterson, Barbara R.

Every couple of decades or so it seems there is a disease that the American Church gets afflicted with. Some have called it "Apocalyptic Fever." Books, films and conferences pop up around the country giving rise to wild speculations and predictions about the end of the world, which most seem sure will happen soon. The one and only thing they all seem to have in common is each cites the book of Revelation as their source. How are we to understand these things as Christians? Did Jesus have anything to say on the matter? If so, how would he have us respond? Special thanks to Dave Johnson, Eugene Peterson, Barbara R. Rossing, Briaz Zahnd, NT Wright, Greg Boyd, Michael J. Gorman, Larry Helyer, Ed Cyzewski and Vernard Eller for their contributions to this series. For more about Mosaic, visit us at www.mosaiclincoln.org.
