In this compelling episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the profound concept of what it truly means to make an offering to God during Mass. Often perceived as just the physical gifts like bread and wine, this episode uncovers the depth of offering our entire lives—including our emotions and experiences—as a symbolic gesture transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ. Joe shares his transformative realization that the offerings are not limited to tangible items but encompass the entirety of our lives, our struggles, and our joys. Father Boniface elaborates on the notion of negativity and how it is an intrinsic part of human life. Drawing from the Psalms and the example of Our Lady's sorrows, he explains how God not only understands these emotions but provides us with the means to express them through sacred scripture. The conversation navigates through the delicate balance of honesty in our relationship with God, examining how these emotions, though perceived as significant in our lives, may not impact God in the same way. Yet, Father Boniface emphasizes that God, being outside of time, provides a pathway for us to offer everything to Him, making our human experience a worthy offering. Ultimately, listeners are invited to embrace the idea that it's not about the perfection of what we offer but the wholehearted surrender of our entire selves to God. The episode concludes with a poignant reminder that the courage to present everything to God—good, bad, and ugly—is central to nurturing a profound and intimate relationship with the divine. Father Boniface encourages a posture of trust, surrender, and honesty, reflecting on our eternal role as God's children, always welcome to bring our whole selves to the altar. This episode inspires listeners to carry this understanding into their lives, fostering a deeper sense of comfort and courage in their spiritual journey.Tags: Spirituality, Faith, Christian Living, Mass, Eucharist, Spiritual Growth, Offering, Transformation, Faith Journey, Emotional Growth, Religious Understanding, Divine Offering, God and Emotions, Relationship with God, Lament in Faith, Childlike Trust, Human Experience, Spiritual Honesty, Spiritual Direction, Religious Life, Scripture and Emotion, Mass offering, Bread and Wine, Transubstantiation, Vulnerability, Trust in God, Spiritual Challenges, Faith in Struggles, God's Presence, Eucharist Understanding, Mass Experience, Sacramental Life, Honest Prayers, Father Boniface Hicks, Joe Rockey, Communal Worship, God and Pain, Spiritual Dialogue, Faith GuidanceHashtags: #Spirituality, #Faith, #ChristianLiving, #Mass, #Eucharist, #SpiritualGrowth, #Offering, #Transformation, #FaithJourney, #EmotionalGrowth, #ReligiousUnderstanding, #DivineOffering, #GodAndEmotions, #RelationshipWithGod, #LamentInFaith, #ChildlikeTrust, #HumanExperience, #SpiritualHonesty, #SpiritualDirection, #ReligiousLife, #ScriptureAndEmotion, #MassOffering, #BreadAndWine, #Transubstantiation, #Vulnerability, #TrustInGod, #SpiritualChallenges, #FaithInStruggles, #GodsPresence, #EucharistUnderstanding, #MassExperience, #SacramentalLife, #HonestPrayers, #FatherBonifaceHicks, #JoeRockey, #CommunalWorship, #GodAndPain, #SpiritualDialogue, #FaithGuidanceThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

It's episode 178 of the Gnar Couch Podshow! We're already three minutes in and the F-bomb counter is higher than your buddy who “microdosed” but forgot the “micro.” Utah probably hates us (again), but that's fine—Utah also hates fun, women's thighs, and beer over 4%. But, this isn't your dad's mountain bike podcast. Actually, your dad probably left because you bought an E-bike, then he joined a Facebook group called Lycra Enthusiasts Who Love Buttholes. Guess what? We're all you've got now. This episode: memes, caffeine jitters, brown-eye contact, and the unholy truth that “analog” is being horribly mispronounced. Mountain bike culture is dead, and we're here performing a necrophilia-themed jazzercise class on its stiff little corpse. Joining us is the meme-lord himself, Ryden Dirty—43 years old, knees like stale breadsticks, and a professional at making Facebook warriors cry into their Garmin watches. He's an ex-BMXer, chef, and current semi-professional button-pusher. If you get offended by him, congratulations—you're softer than a Casey's gas station pizza. We've also got: A Zoom room full of Russian bots who keep trying to sell us boner pills. Facebook dads with “opinions” so bad they make your uncle's QAnon posts look reasonable. A merch store with more hoodies than a middle school vape circle. Throw in some ADHD, chef rage, and a bunch of dudes old enough to schedule colonoscopies around bike rides, and you've got yourself a certified Gnar Couch dumpster fire. So grab a chamois, double up if your prostate needs it, and let's kick this turd downhill.

Healing doesn't happen all at once, and it doesn't always look the way we expect. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with hypnotherapist Kerie Logan for a conversation that moves beyond surface-level self-help and dives straight into the heart of transformation.Kerie shares her personal journey into hypnotherapy and the trauma-informed approach she now brings to her practice—one rooted in safety, compassion, and a deep understanding of how the body and mind hold onto pain. Together, she and Lyndsay talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your healing, why self-love isn't optional, and how shame and judgment can quietly derail even the strongest among us.This isn't about quick fixes or bypassing the hard stuff. It's about tuning into your own frequency, embracing the weird and the woo, and realizing that healing happens in layers, not on a timeline. Kerie introduces the idea of 3D, 4D, and 5D consciousness, not as some far-off spiritual theory, but as a way to understand where we're stuck… and where we're headed.If you've been feeling disconnected, broken, or stuck in your pain, this episode is your permission slip to begin again with softness, honesty, and maybe a little hypnosis.Tune in if you're ready to trade judgment for curiosity—and start healing on your own terms.Find Kerie Logan Online Here:Website: www.empoweredwithin.comWebsite: www.mastertheupperrooms.comWebsite: www.undetectednarcissist.comInstagram: @mastertheupperoomsYouTube: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessYouTube: Empowered Within HypnosisLinkedIn: Kerie LoganPodcast: Undetected NarcissistPodcast: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma Healing(03:09) Kerie's Journey into Hypnotherapy(09:30) The Power of Hypnotherapy and Self-Healing(15:29) Building Trust in Hypnotherapy(21:00) Creating a Non-Judgmental Space for Healing(23:16) Breaking Free from Self-Judgment(24:38) Harnessing the Power of Rebellion(25:05) Understanding Pain and Its Positive Aspects(26:23) Emotional Pain vs. Physical Pain(27:12) Healing Through Soul Conversations(29:12) Transforming Relationships with Forgiveness(30:34) Lessons from Painful Experiences(32:26) The Role of Trauma in Personal Growth(33:35) Generational Trauma and Its Impact(34:25) Embracing Authenticity and Rebellion(35:39) The Healing Process and Its Challenges(37:00) Crafting a Personalized Healing Journey(38:18) Intuitive Healing and Spiritual Guidance(40:39) Resources for Healing and Growth(43:43) Final Thoughts on Pain and Healing
Have you ever wondered what happens when you finally stop living for everyone else and start becoming who you're truly meant to be? Kelly Chase, fresh from celebrating her 40th birthday, takes us on a raw and revealing journey through self-discovery, personal power, and finding authentic purpose in this captivating conversation.Kelly opens up about her recent solo wellness retreat in Mexico, where she confronted important truths about her relationships, business, and spiritual journey. "For so long I didn't know who I really was," she admits, describing her 20s and early 30s as running on a hamster wheel in autopilot. This turning point led her to leave corporate life in 2017 to pursue coaching full-time, starting a personal development journey that transformed her relationship with herself.The conversation explores Kelly's evolving spiritual connection, including her recent purchase of her first Bible, and how she's learning to trust that everything is working out as it should. Ken shares wisdom from his years as a pastor, creating a beautiful dialogue about finding faith on your own terms. Their discussion on relationships reveals powerful insights about self-worth and choosing partners who fully show up, summarized perfectly when Kelly references the quote: "Your right fit person is not the person you have to beg to choose."Perhaps most compelling is their exploration of authenticity in business and online presence. Kelly candidly discusses her journey as a holistic health coach who transitioned to helping other female entrepreneurs with mindset and business strategy. She acknowledges the limiting beliefs that have sometimes held her back—fear of being seen, fear of success—while sharing practical advice for women wanting to make an impact: "Go live on Instagram or do something that scares the absolute hell out of you."The episode brilliantly demonstrates how our struggles often become our greatest teaching tools. As Kelly puts it, "Every person you meet is a gift and a lesson." Whether you're navigating relationships, building a business, or simply trying to show up more authentically in your life, this conversation offers wisdom, encouragement, and the permission to embrace your journey—messy parts and all.Welcome to the ATLG podcast I am your host Ken Joslin, former pastor turned coach & host of CREATE, the #1 Faith-based Entrepreneur conference in America.

In this episode, I'm sharing something I wish more ADHD women (including me) heard sooner: sometimes we're not exhausted from doing too much—we're exhausted from being too much for everyone else. From performing. From holding it all together. From being the “pleasant” one, even when we're falling apart inside. I open up about my own story—how I went from being a colicky baby to the “perfect child,” and how that shaped my tendency to mask, fawn, and make myself smaller to stay safe. I also walk you through the difference between true burnout and the nervous system fatigue that comes from chronic people pleasing and masking. If you've been resting but still feel drained… if you're overwhelmed but can't point to why… or if you're longing to be more real in your life but you're afraid of what might happen—I made this episode for you.
