Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!More and more, we find ourselves living in what we might call a post-Christian society.  And more and more, preachers and ministry leaders are finding that the methods they were trained in don't always resonate in a post-Christian context. In this episode, Mark Glanville, the author of Preaching in a New Key, brings together his experience as a jazz musician, pastor, and a scholar of the Old Testament to invite us into a new vision for preaching—one that helps us navigate the transition from Christian to post-Christian culture. THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Mark Glanville explains that both jazz and Christian faith involve learning and internalizing tradition, then improvising freshly within it.Jazz musicians practice and absorb the rhythms and melodies of their tradition, but always play something new in performance.Mark Glanville illustrates how biblical preachers should immerse themselves in scripture, becoming shaped by its themes and stories, much like jazz musicians learn their craft.The biblical tradition requires creative and contextual re-interpretation, as seen in how ancient scribes reimagined the metaphor of covenant.Preaching in a post-Christian society means recognizing that faith no longer enjoys cultural support and must grapple with mixed experiences of doubt and trust.Mark Glanville describes post-Christian contexts as places where church and societal values diverge, making the preaching task more complex.Congregants bring complex emotional and spiritual questions to church, rather than the simple expectation of receiving trusted doctrine.Markus Watson notes that contemporary preaching requires greater sensitivity, awareness of listeners' stories, and often more lyrical, dialogical communication.Mark Glanville emphasizes gaining relational intelligence through ongoing pastoral conversations and deep listening with parishioners.Preaching today involves “reversing the flow”—rather than proclaiming “thus says the Lord,” preachers reveal the beauty of Jesus within the text and invite fresh connection.Mark Glanville highlights that healthy preaching depends on the preacher's own healthy inner and emotional life.Preachers must recognize when they are operating from their “defended self”—speaking from wounds or fear, rather than from a secure, loving place in Christ.Scripture addresses communities, not individuals, so preaching should prioritize communal formation and invite congregations to embody Christ together.Mark Glanville encourages pastors to preach, model, and pray for the transformation they seek, stirring the congregation's collective imagination and trusting the Spirit to work through everyone, not just the leadership.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Mark Glanville:Website – www.markglanville.orgBlue Note Theology podcastBooks mentioned:Preaching in a New Key, by Mark GlanvilleRefuge Reimagined, by Mark Glanville and Luke GlanvilleRelated episodes:250.

Ever found yourself scrolling on your phone while your child eagerly shares their day with you? I've been there, and the realization hit hard. Drawing from personal experiences and the wisdom of Carl Honoré and Dr. Hannah Yang, I share moments when distractions took center stage over being truly present with my family. We explore how liberating ourselves from the anxieties of the future and past regrets can transform our connections. 

Hey there! Welcome the the LDS Mission Podcast and to episode 213 - Navigating Tough Dynamics. Have you ever caught yourself labeling something as a problem—and suddenly it feels heavy, urgent, or unsolvable? In this episode, I share a powerful mindset shift that has helped me and so many missionaries I work with: what if it's not a problem... it's just a dynamic? Whether you're a missionary adjusting to a new transfer, a returned missionary navigating post-mission life, or a missionary mom experiencing a new phase of parenting, we all face tough dynamics that feel sticky or uncertain. This idea was inspired by a conversation with my daughter as she prepares to be the only child at home. Her tears, her worries, and her sadness reminded me how deeply our brains want to flag change as something scary. But viewing it as a dynamic—a situation in motion that we're learning to navigate—can create flexibility, empowerment, and grace for ourselves. I hope this episode helps you reframe some of the experiences you're having on the mission or in your life right now. Let's stop running into mental walls and start riding the waves of change. You were built for this. I believe in you. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw join the podcast for a deep conversation on spiritual formation, attachment theory, and why so many of us feel stuck in our faith. Drawing from their work in neuroscience, pastoral care, and discipleship, they unpack how our early relational patterns shape the way we experience God and how we can begin to heal. We explore the four “landscapes of the soul” (the pasture, jungle, desert, and war zone), how spiritual practices like silence, Bible study, and joy impact us differently depending on where we're starting from, and how to integrate intimacy and obedience in a holistic journey with God. This episode invites us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model of discipleship and embrace a more embodied, relational, and compassionate approach to following Jesus.Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is cohost of the Embodied Faith podcast, which seeks a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation. He is also an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary (Lisle, Illinois) and a pastor at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Geoff is author of several books, most recently Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Who Wants to Be With Us.Cyd is an author, spiritual director, and pastor. She is also a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach (PCC) focused on embodied practices and building a secure attachment to God. She co-hosts the Embodied Faith podcast, offering a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation.  And she is the co-author of Does God Really Like Me?

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this episode of Shields Down, we explore the vital role of post-shift rituals for first responders, offering practical tips and mental health strategies to help you transition from the intensity of your work to the calm of your personal life. Topic 1: Creating a Post-Shift Ritual for Mental Reset In this segment, we discuss the importance of establishing a routine that signals the end of your shift and helps you mentally switch gears from "work mode" to "home mode." Whether it's changing clothes, listening to calming music, or engaging in sensory cues like lighting a candle, these small rituals can create a mental reset, improve your emotional well-being, and help you leave the stress of the day behind. Topic 2: Compartmentalizing Without Suppressing Emotions Compartmentalizing is key to maintaining mental health while on the job, but it's important not to confuse this with emotional suppression. We'll guide you through how to acknowledge your emotions without letting them dominate your personal time, allowing space for emotional processing when appropriate while protecting your mental health. Topic 3: Reframing Difficult Moments as Learning Opportunities After tough shifts, it's easy to focus on the negative. In this section, we'll show you how to shift your mindset by reframing difficult experiences as opportunities for growth. By asking, "What can I learn from this?" you'll reduce the emotional weight of the day and transition more smoothly into your personal life, building resilience and emotional clarity. Topic 4: Post-Shift Reflection Exercise We'll wrap up the episode with a simple 5-minute reflection exercise designed to help you process your day and create a mental closure between work and home. By reflecting on what went well, the challenges you faced, and what you can let go of, you'll set the stage for a peaceful transition into your personal time. Join us as we uncover practical strategies to help first responders prioritize mental wellness and build resilience after the shift ends. Support the showOptions For Connection:Websitehttps://www.ptsd-transformation.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shields_down/Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ptsdtransformationacademyFree PDF "Understanding Your PTSD: Go from Surviving to Thriving"https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/understand-ptsd-pdf Free Monthly Newsletters (Right to your inbox)https://www.ptsd-transformation.com/newsletteroptin Support is hereptsdtransformation@gmail.com DisclaimerI want to remind you that this Podcast is my opinion and my teachings, in no way does it replace a licenced Mental health professional, if you feel that you are in a place where you need that support reach out to someone and get it.

Once paraded in the media as a hero, Dr. James Henry became the symbol of a “progressive” military—the first openly transgender active-duty officer. But the story the public saw was only part of the truth. In this episode, Dr. Henry shares what really happened behind the scenes. The early struggles with identity. The weight of religious shame. The celebration that came with transitioning—and the breakdown that followed. He opens up about being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Now, years later, Dr. Henry faces a federal indictment after a confrontation with the FBI. This is not a story of affirmation. It's a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of speaking out.

Why do so many women find themselves in relationships where they're doing all the emotional labor? And what role does childhood—and especially the way we raise boys—play in this dynamic? In today's powerful episode, Dr. Gloria K. Vanderhorst joins me to unpack the lifelong impact of early emotional conditioning—particularly for boys. With over 50 years of experience working with individuals, families, and schools, Dr. Gloria brings deep insight into how our earliest experiences shape how we love, relate, and often repeat patterns without even realizing it. We explore why boys are often taught to disconnect from their emotions, how that affects their adult relationships, and what it takes to change—even later in life. Whether you're parenting a son, partnered with an emotionally shut-down man, or healing from your own emotional inheritance, this episode will speak to your heart. In this episode, we discuss: Why early childhood memories—especially unconscious ones—still affect us today How boys are taught to lose touch with their emotions, and the cultural cost Why emotional labor often falls to women—and what we can do about it How Women condition men to emotionally abandon them The price we all pay for the emotional suppression of men How real change is possible at any age A practical framework for healing and self-awareness: Read, Reflect, Respond About Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst: Dr. Gloria K.

Have you created an emotional shield to protect yourself from pain and disappointment?

Their situation is not unique; many people experience similar feelings as they navigate their anxiety journey. I delve into the importance of trusting oneself, particularly in moments where decision-making feels paralyzing and anxiety seems insurmountable.Starting with the listener's expression of frustration—waking up feeling exhausted and anxious, despite attempts to find calm through meditation—I break down the message into manageable pieces. I underscore that a tough day, especially one fueled by a lack of restful sleep, is a reality many face. Instead of battling the day's challenges, I encourage embracing them, acknowledging fatigue while allowing anxiety to accompany us without letting it define our day.As the listener grapples with racing thoughts about the future, I draw attention to the futility of trying to force these thoughts away. It's more productive to foster curiosity about them and redirect focus to the present moment. By practicing mindfulness—whether through a simple breath or by engaging with our surroundings—we can ground ourselves in the now, freeing ourselves from the cyclic worry that anxiety often brings.#AnxietySupport, #SelfTrust, #Mindfulness, #StressRelief, #MentalWellness, #CopingSkills, #AnxietyHelp, #MindfulLiving, #PresentMoment, #EmotionalHealth, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #HealingJourney, #SelfCare, #AnxietyRecovery, #Meditation, #Breathwork, #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy, #AcceptanceCommitmentTherapy, #WellbeingJourney, #AnxietyFree, #EmotionalRegulation, #OvercomingAnxiety, #AnxietyAwareness, #MentalHealthMatters #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!In a world that celebrates rapid growth, platform-building, and constant success, it's easy to take on leadership strategies that promise bigger, better, and faster results. But when these approaches clash with the invitation of Jesus to embrace the cross, where does true, lasting influence come from?In this episode, Nicole Massie Martin, author of Nailing It, unpacks the spiritual paradox at the heart of healthy leadership—how surrender, humility, and even seasons of struggle can form us as leaders and empower the people we serve.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCUDE:Christian leaders often merge values like maximizing and growing their ministries, risking a "resurrection only" mindset that ignores suffering.Markus Watson highlights that the moments of deepest closeness with God often emerge from times of pain.Nicole Martin frames power neutrally, stating that its impact depends on how leaders use it—to empower or to hoard.Power must be used for God's glory and for empowering others, not for self-aggrandizement.Markus Watson admits that the temptation for influence and control is a real struggle in leadership, even when intentions are good.Nicole Martin explains that surrendering power as a leader looks like developing teams and creating an environment where others feel empowered to fulfill their calling.Nicole Martin shares a personal story of feeling powerless as a board member until another leader affirmed her authority and encouraged her participation.Empowerment should be modeled by leaders who intentionally invite others to use their own power and gifts.Ego is complex and influenced by cultural worldviews such as honor-shame, guilt-innocence, and power-fear.Nicole Martin emphasizes the importance of anchoring one's self-worth in the love of God, not in achievement or shame.Markus Watson describes how personal failure and pain loosened his unhealthy grip on ego and led him to ground his worth in being God's beloved.Nicole Martin asserts that healthy ego in leadership is characterized by deep confidence, humility, and openness, rooted in one's belovedness by God.Leaders must recalibrate their pace and surrender speed to God's timing, resisting the burnout that comes from adopting the relentless pace of the world.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Christianity TodaySoulfire International MinistriesBooks mentioned:Nailing It, by Nicole Massie MartinLife of the Beloved, by Henri NouwenAbba's Child, by Brennan ManningSurrender to Love, by David BennerEmotionally Healthy Spirituality, by Peter ScazeroFalling Upward, by Richard RohrRelated episodes:112.

What are the limitations of our modern approaches to discipleship and spiritual formation? How do our neural pathways connect to our spiritual pathways? Does brain-wiring connect to spiritual warfare? And how does this all connect to our identity in Christ?In this episode of the Attach To God podcast, host Geoff Holsclaw delves into the intersections of neuroscience and spiritual pathways with Dr. Marcus Warner, president of Deeper Walk International. They explore the limitations of traditional enlightenment and Puritan-based approaches to spiritual transformation, and cover deeper discipleship through the FISH model (Freedom, Identity, Spirit walk, and Heart-focused community).Dr. Marcus Warner has served as president of Deeper Walk International since 2006. He has written 16 books on topics ranging from brain science to spiritual warfare, including Rare Leadership, The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages, and Understanding the Wounded Heart.

In this episode, I sat down with Katie Dabrowski to explore the relationship between neuroscience, psychology, and injury rehab. We discussed how pain is not just a physical sensation but a complex experience influenced by emotional states, past experiences, and neuroplasticity. We also touched on the importance of movement, progressive overload, and understanding the psychological aspects of pain management. We closed out the episode with a discussion about the future of training as healthcare and the need for a holistic approach to rehab that goes beyond just addressing pain.TakeawaysNeuroscience and psychology are crucial in understanding rehab.Pain is a complex experience influenced by many factors.Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt and recover from injuries.Experiences shape our pain perception and responses.Understanding pain can reduce anxiety and improve outcomes.Movement is essential in managing pain and building resilience.Progressive overload applies to both physical and emotional challenges.Fear of pain can lead to avoidance and further issues.Building confidence through manageable challenges is key.The future of rehab should focus on holistic health, not just pain.Get In Touch With Katie: https://www.instagram.com/ktdabrowski/Old Bull Athletics: https://www.instagram.com/oldbullathletics/Get 4 FREE Weeks of Hybrid Training: https://assembleperformance.com/4-week-training-plan-page Contact Me IG: https://www.instagram.com/justinsjones/ Email: justin@assembleperformance.com Website: https://assembleperformance.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@justinjonesfitness

In this powerful conversation, Janell welcomes classics scholar Nadya Williams, author of "Mothers, Children, and the Body Politic: Ancient Christianity and the Recovery of Human Dignity" (IVP), to explore how our modern devaluation of motherhood parallels pre-Christian attitudes toward women and children. Prepare to have your perspective challenged.Nadia's book "Mothers, Children and the Body Politic: Ancient Christianity and the Recovery of Human Dignity" examines the striking similarities between ancient Greco-Roman views of women as "intellectually lightweight" and "vessels" for children, and today's cultural messages suggesting women without children are happier and wealthier.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Work hurt is real, and ministry leaders aren't exempt. Whether it's being let go, navigating toxic work environments, or simply enduring deep disappointments, our vocational pain can shape us in ways we never expected—and often never wanted.In this episode, author of When Work Hurts, shares her own journey through work hurt, explores the different ways leaders experience vocational pain, and offers practical and spiritual resources for healing and resilience. THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Meryl Herr shares her personal story of “work hurt” and how it led her to address the topic in her work and writing. Meryl Herr describes feeling disillusioned early in her career when her expectations for work did not align with reality, leading to discouragement and even unexpected job loss. Work hurt occurs when people sustain physical or psychological injuries in their workplace. Meryl Herr categorizes work hurt as stemming from toxic systems, unhealthy cultures, issues of job fit, and personal mistakes. Work hurt can be experienced as disappointment, disillusionment, or devastation, each having different causes and emotional impacts. Meryl Herr notes that people's tolerance for disappointment, disillusionment, and devastation is highly individual. Significant numbers of workers experience work hurt, including burnout, discrimination, and disengagement, as reflected in recent research and statistics. Discrimination and harassment at work affect certain demographic groups more acutely, highlighting systemic injustice and inequity. Meryl Herr stresses the need for individuals to acknowledge and process their work-related pain, rather than internalizing it or transmitting it to others. If people do not transform their work pain, they risk transmitting it as cynicism, projection, or stress in personal and family relationships. Community support, honest conversation, prayer—especially lament—and listening to God are central strategies for healing from work hurt. Meryl Herr encourages practices of discerning God's presence and call, likening vocational discernment to “wayfinding” that requires attention to context, one's gifts, and God's invitation. Being called to a vocation or job does not mean one is exempt from pain or suffering; Meryl Herr and Markus Watson both connect this to biblical examples of hardship in the midst of calling. Pastors play an important role by understanding and addressing the work hurt in their congregations and by providing practical, emotional, and spiritual support. Meryl Herr recommends cultivating “everyday faithfulness,” showing up and doing the daily work set before us as a foundational way to keep moving forward through disruption, loss, and fear.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Meryl Herr:Website – www.merylherr.comDePree Center for LeadershipBooks mentioned:When Work Hurts, by Meryl HerrFalling Upward, by Ruchard RohrRelated episodes:114.

God is a healer and a redeemer of pain” - Denise JonesIn this powerful episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige sits down with Denise Jones—founder of Reclaiming Hearts and host of DivorceCare—to talk about navigating the emotional and spiritual aftermath of divorce. Denise shares insight on the heavy burdens of shame and guilt, the critical difference between solitude and isolation, and how the Church can be a place of healing rather. Together, they explore how divorce impacts children—and even more deeply, how a parent's own healing journey directly shapes their child's. Denise unpacks the meaning of forgiveness, common missteps parents make, and gives hope to parents experiencing divorce.Paige's TakeawaysYou can't walk into God's purpose for your life while carrying shame. Until you release guilt and shame, they will block your ability to move forward in the healing and freedom God has for you.Unresolved shame affects your relationships. When you live under a blanket of guilt, it impacts the way you connect with your family, friends, and even your children.Bring your pain to God. Healing often begins with asking the Lord for forgiveness and allowing His grace to cover the places you feel most broken.If we stay stuck, our kids stay stuck as well. Don't just focus on surviving day to day—look at your emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being as a whole.Kids can't move forward emotionally if their parent remains emotionally stuck. A parent's healing paves the way for a child's.Kids ask when they are ready for the informationLet your children lead the timing. Kids will start asking questions about the divorce or family dynamics when they're emotionally ready—don't force the conversation.Be honest, but age-appropriate. When your child does ask, respond with truth wrapped in love, always considering what's appropriate for their developmental stage.Reclaiming Hearts: https://reclaiminghearts.org/ DivorceCare: https://www.divorcecare.org/ Paige Clingenpeel: PaigeClingenpeel.comQuestions About the Podcast?
