Hi fellow co-creators! Dropping in with 'stay harmonized' episode. A grounding + orientating episode. One meant to help us move through this intense threshold time without losing ourselves, our links to each other, and to what is real — without burning out, numbing out, spinning in place, or letting our energy get hijacked and wasted. We are in a great turning, that includes lots of resistance and dark as well as rising up and light. We can feel it - in the world, in our work, in our own lives, minds, hearts, bodies and spirits…. and it's a lot! This turn is not going to be a light switch ... it's more like riding up a mountain pass, with rest stations needed along the way. Each of us going through our own liberation and elevation that is a micro of the macro elevation humanity is moving through together.   I'm on the ride with all of you - I've just been out and about, and internally gathering insight the last two months... and now ready to sharing the map I've been living myself — that I think may serve you too.  The map: Release to Receive. Root In to Relax. Rebel to Reveal. We will use this as a frame to explore: Returning Patterns: the merry-go-round and the upward evolving spiral, how to tell which one you're on Release to Receive: getting honest about what we can no longer carry so we can open to what's truly trying to come in Root In to Relax: rooting like trees into the rhythms + practices + and relationships that keep us sustained Rebel to Reveal: tuning into our "Sacred Rebel Hearts" for guidance + courage to do things differently and embrace our power to make shift happen in simple yet significant ways - for ourselves (me) and our part to play (we).  

Design consultant John Gleason returns to explore the leadership skills design needs to claim greater strategic influence. The conversation covers vulnerability and psychological safety, translating design value into business outcomes, the boldness required to assert a larger value proposition, and how to avoid burnout while navigating organizational complexity.

Why does it feel easy to blame people instead of problems? Staying together paints the picture of who God is to those around us. This sort of life requires that we remember why we are together and who we are becoming. Reconciliation is a mindset and a commitment.

We don't heal alone – we heal in connection. Prentis Hemphill, alongside co-host Sue Marriott, traces their path from social organizing to somatic therapy, revealing how personal healing and collective transformation are deeply intertwined. Together, they explore how inherited myths, power dynamics, and collective trauma shape both our inner worlds and our social systems. This episode invites therapists and change makers alike to consider healing as more than an individual process—it's relational, embodied, and political in impact. Prentis offers grounded reflections and practical tools for working with the body, navigating power, and engaging in healing that extends beyond the self. “When we are courageous, we can do the unexpected and start to mold the world around a vision bigger than one produced by fear. Every inch of progress, every ounce of love, every truly meaningful action from here on out will happen through courage, not comfort.”  – Prentis Hemphill Time Stamps for Where Personal Healing Meets Collective Change (295) 06:15 The interplay of interpersonal and systemic dynamics 09:31 The challenge of updating therapeutic practices 16:49 Impact of myths on human behavior 20:32 Reflections on current political climate and collective trauma 24:10 The myth of “American Exceptionalism” 36:50 Self-care and community engagement 40:07 Resources for healing and transformation About our Guest – Prentis Hemphill Prentis Hemphill is the bestselling author of What It Takes to Heal, a groundbreaking exploration of healing, justice, and transformation.

How do we find our way back together again after disappointment, with one another and with God? Division can breed when people are disappointed in one another. Relationships can break with unmet expectations. But we don't have to settle for distance. In 2 Corinthians 4, Paul teaches how, by pursuing unity in Jesus' name.MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49585863RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

The Church today has lost its way. We've pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity.

Who looks like Jesus because they have walked with us? As we see in 2 Corinthians, in many ways the Apostle Paul's faithfulness was measured by the faith he handed to others. Like Paul, we don't control how people respond, but it matters that we show up and it matters how we show up. After all, it is in God coming alongside us, and us coming alongside one another, that we find our way. Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49582521 Resources: https://www.canyonridge.org/Blog: https://www.canyonridge.org/blog

In this Wednesday Night Dharma Talk, Sensei Fushin addresses what so many of us are carrying right now — the weight of a world in upheaval, the accumulation of personal grief, and the stories we tell ourselves at three in the morning when everything feels urgent and nothing feels within reach. Drawing on the Lotus Sutra's parable of the burning house, Fushin reframes the question entirely… Source

Send us a textA funeral can snap everything into focus. We sat with family for four days of rosary, food, and old photos, and one unexpected picture of our grandparents hit like a time machine. That single moment turned grief into a commitment: stop waiting for loss to gather. Plan the reunion. Show up while everyone's still here.We map out what that looks like—simple, human, doable. A summer date, barbecue smoke in the air, a ballgame where the older knees coach and ump instead of sprint. Kids finally meet cousins. Stories move from whispers at the cemetery to laughs in the park. Along the way, we peel back the layers of our own path: dreams that collided with low confidence and early paychecks, the parenting stress of raising boys who are always “broke,” and the stubborn pride of working through tight budgets. This is the messy middle of family life, told straight.There's plenty of comic relief too. Disneyland lines tested our patience and inspired one of the most practical hacks you'll ever hear: Depends in the queue. We weigh the pros and cons with brutal honesty—absorbency, wipes, baby powder, dignity, and the art of not losing your spot when nature calls. Then we jump into 80s nostalgia: Masters of the Universe hype, the new He-Man trailer, eBay treasure hunts, and why certain toys can pull brothers back into the same conversation after years apart. It's grief and joy, memory and momentum, all braided together.If this hits home, share it with your cousin you've been meaning to text.

In this podcast, host Greg Voisen sits down with seasoned executive coach and author Kris Girrell to peel back the layers of a phenomenon sweeping through modern society: the rise of the "spiritual but not religious." If you have ever felt like you've outgrown the rigid pews of traditional doctrine or felt a "dark night of the soul" burning away your old certainties, this conversation is your roadmap. Kris discusses his provocative book, Spiritually Homeless, exploring why so many people are jettisoning inherited beliefs to find a more authentic, direct connection with the divine. Are you truly letting go, or just checking out? How do you distinguish between the ego's chatter and the soul's whisper? Greg and Kris dive deep into the "unselfing" process, the necessity of embracing mystery over certainty, and how to find a new kind of community when you no longer fit in the old one. This episode isn't just about leaving a building; it's about arriving at your true self. What You Will Learn By tuning into this episode, listeners will gain insights into: - The Developmental Shift: Why maturing as an adult often forces us out of "black and white" religious thinking into a more complex, nuanced spirituality. - The "Unselfing" Process: How to dismantle the power of the ego to allow the "Big Self" (the soul) to emerge. - Navigating the Dark Night: Understanding that spiritual pain is often a "purification fire" designed to burn away old, inherited beliefs. - Integration of Awe: How to process profound "spot-weld moments" of oneness and integrate them into a non-religious daily life. - The Power of Unknowing: Why letting go of the need for answers—and even the questions themselves—is a vital spiritual tool.

It's the annual Girl Mode Game Exchange, the episode where we force each other to play one of our favorite games of the year, under penalty of death. This year, we chose Wanderstop and Baby Steps, two games about the struggle to find self-worth that take two very different paths to get there. Only one is obsessed with making you look at donkey dicks, for instance. This year, we were both pretty surprised by our reactions to our games and we didn't even get furious with each other once, which I think is a first for one of these episodes!!Spoilers for all of Wanderstop and Baby Steps!Timestamps:(00:10) The Great Girl Mode Game Exchange, aka, what we're doing this week(03:00) Wanderstop(1:06:00) Excerpt from “The Everything” by C418 on the Wanderstop OST(1:06:30) Baby Steps(2:19:30) What else have Willa and Robin been up to this week?

Feeling distant from God? You're not alone.  The road between us becomes cluttered with the weight of old hurts, fear, shame, and the endless demands of daily life. The ancient call of the prophets, Isaiah and John, invites us to face that inner clutter, recognize what blocks us, and open a clear, welcoming highway so we can experience God's healing presence in our lives.   Text Matthew 3:3 “Prepare the way of the Lord.” POD 282

Welcome back, here we begin Season 8. This season is all about reweaving the village and returning to the deeper threads of connection that many of us have been longing for. Across the weeks ahead we will explore the body, the land, community, ancestry and the quiet ache that calls us back to one another.In our first episode we explore The Severed Cord.We look at the ache of not belonging and how it lives in the bod the impact of colonisation and patriarchy on community and connectionwhy loneliness appears even when life seems full• inherited grief, epigenetic memory and survival patternsthe loss of elders, rites of passage and communal carepostpartum stories and the moment many realise the village will not comethe separation from land, language and ancestral ways of livinghow to stay with sensation and return gently to the bodya guided meditation on forgiveness and belongingTo go deeper into this workjoin the weekly live women's circlesfollow along on Instagram explore the book Reclaiming Circle if you feel called to bring circle work into your community

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're talking about something that feels simple on the surface but has quietly gotten complicated over the years; the lost art of human connection. Let me ask you this. Have you ever caught yourself choosing the easier, more convenient option even when you knew the real thing would've felt better? Maybe it was sending a text instead of having a conversation. Maybe it was Googling an answer instead of asking someone for help. Or maybe, without even realizing it, you've replaced community with convenience. I grew up in a time when your “search engine” was the person standing next to you. You needed directions? You asked someone. You wanted a restaurant recommendation? You talked to the locals. You had a random question or a big idea or a wondering moment? You pondered it. You reasoned it out. You let your mind chew on it. And in all those moments, even the small ones, connection happened. But today? We can outsource nearly everything: information, support, company, and even our curiosity. And while convenience is wonderful, it's also quietly replacing the face-to-face interactions that used to stitch our communities together. I don't believe humans were designed to live isolated lives. We're built for each other. To feel for others, to be felt by others, and to feel ourselves more fully because someone sees us. So on this episode, we're exploring the slow drift toward disconnection and how we can intentionally build bridges back to community, purpose, and genuine human interaction. Because convenience might be efficient. But connection? That's what makes us feel alive. Let's take a moment to define what I mean by “disconnecting.” I'm not talking about running away to the mountains or deleting every app on your phone. I'm talking about when convenience slowly replaces connection until you look around and realize you're not engaging with real people the way you used to. Connection is more than being in contact. It's being in a community where you feel known, seen, valued, and plugged into something bigger than yourself. It's being able to walk into a room and feel the energy shift because you're part of a group. Where are people getting that today? For some, it's online communities, and that's not all bad. But many have drifted away from in-person spaces that used to offer grounding and belonging. Church is a big one. And I get it. “Organized religion” has become a loaded phrase. Many people stepped away from the institution and accidentally stepped away from the community too. The real loss? Not just the rituals but the relationships. The potlucks. The check-ins. The encouragement. The sense of purpose that comes from helping, serving, or even just showing up. Without those touchpoints, it becomes easy to float. Easy to isolate. Easy to forget what it feels like to be needed or known. And yet, most people say they want purpose. They want belonging. They want to feel plugged in. But those things require participation. They require interaction. They require us to be in the room. So how do we start finding our way back? CHALLENGE: So, I challenge you… to intentionally choose one moment this week where you replace convenience with connection. Look for the conversation, the eye contact, the opportunity to help, or the open door to step back into community. Be brave enough to show up, be present, and let yourself be needed again. I Know YOU Can Do It!  

This is an audio essay from my Process This substack. In it, I reflect on Alfred North Whitehead and what he can teach us about religion in our time. You see, Whitehead didn't see religion as just doctrines or institutions—he understood it as a creative force that connects our deepest ideals with the passion that actually moves us to act in the world. And here's what's beautiful: he shows us that the divine isn't a force that dominates or controls, but a gentle invitation woven through all of reality, calling us toward truth, beauty, and goodness. We're not passive recipients of this, we're active partners, and every act of kindness, every moment of genuine connection actually adds something real to the universe that wouldn't exist without us. The real transformation in history, whether it's been the Civil Rights Movement or the climate movement today, happens not through force and domination, but through the slower, harder, more beautiful path of persuasion—changing hearts and minds one person at a time. And here's what gives me hope: nothing we do in love is ever lost. It all becomes part of this larger story of the universe moving toward wholeness. So in this post-religious age, we desperately need this capacity to be moved by beauty and called by goodness. The question isn't what we believe, it's whether we'll let ourselves be caught up in this larger movement of love.

A Conversation on the Creed with Glenn PackiamTo help kick off our sermon series on the Apostles' Creed, Chris sat down with our friend Glenn Packiam for a conversation on the Creed. Why is the creed so valuable in the life of the church, and how is it uniquely relevant to us as followers of Jesus today? We hope this will serve as a resource and guide as we continue to explore the Apostles' Creed as a community. Glenn Packiam is the Lead Pastor of Rockharbor Church in Costa Mesa, California, and a Senior Fellow at Barna Group. He is the author of “What's a Christian Anyway? Finding Our Way in an Age of Confusion and Corruption” (March 2025).

Episode 210 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  This week we are joined by Singer-Songwriter & Storyteller, Matt McClure!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with singer-songwriter Matt McClure, who shares his journey of creating the impactful song 'The Shore.' The conversation delves into the themes of personal responsibility, the healing power of music, and the importance of authenticity in storytelling. Matt discusses how his music has transformed lives, resonating with listeners across generations, and emphasizes the significance of community support in overcoming struggles. The episode highlights the journey of a song from creation to viral success, illustrating how real stories can inspire and uplift others.Key Points:- Everybody has it within themselves to keep going.- The bravest thing you can do is save yourself.- Music can change lives and provide healing.- Personal responsibility is key to overcoming struggles.- Failure is part of the journey to success.- Authenticity is crucial in connecting with audiences.- Building a supportive community enhances growth.- Finding inspiration in everyday life is essential.About our guest: Matt McClure is a Western Kentucky native whose music is rooted in resilience, authenticity, and family. After moving to Nashville a decade ago with little more than a guitar and a dream, he built a career while supporting his family as a tour bus driver for some of the biggest names in music. In 2024, Matt's own voice broke through with the viral success of “The Shore”, a raw track about breaking free from a toxic relationship. The song resonated worldwide, sparking a wave of connection that launched his music career. Since then, he's released six more singles—“Nosebleed,” “I Met a Man,” “Lead Me On,” “The Game,” “The Lion,” and “Clock on the Wall”—amassing a following of more than 600,000 and millions of streams. But for Matt, it's not about numbers. His songs, tackling topics from domestic abuse and mental health to the fentanyl crisis, have inspired thousands to find hope and healing. His growing community has become what he calls a “healing hub,” with therapists even using his music in sessions to help patients open up and heal. For Matt, every song is proof that music can connect, heal, and save lives.Follow and contact:Instagram: @_mattmcclure_mattmccluremusic.com**Once the goal of 2.5 million members is met, 1,000 limited-edition T-shirts and the unreleased song will be sent, along with the first 1,000 full dental care awards!**Subscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/NickHite⁠rFollow and Rate us on Spotify: ⁠https://spotify.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiter⁠Follow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: ⁠https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

When we disconnect from God, we put other things in his place, things that steer our life in the wrong direction. These false idols take our life captive. Today, Cyndy will share thoughts on how you can get your life back on track.

This week, we return with part two of our mother-daughterconversation—one that feels even more tender, more unfiltered, and more vulnerable than the first.We didn't plan this one. We just hit record and talked.What unfolded was an open and honest reflection on our personal relationships with food, our bodies, and ultimately, with ourselves.We talk about disordered eating—not from a clinical lens, but from the inside. From the lived experience of using food to cope, to numb, to distract from emotions we never learned how to feel.We talk about shame. About how messy and complex this healing can be. And how the silence around these struggles only adds to the pain.There's no perfect arc in this episode. Just a real, vulnerableconversation between a mother and daughter reckoning with inherited patterns—and choosing a different path.In this episode, we explore:*How our relationships with food became entangled with control, worth, and emotion*The unspoken shame around eating disorders and body image*Why emotional suppression often shows up in how we eat or don't eat*The healing power of naming what was never talked aboutWhy this matters:Because so many women are silently struggling.Because shame thrives in secrecy.And because healing—like this episode—is rarely tidy or linear.

Send us a textTherapy has long been shrouded in mystery, leaving many to wonder what actually happens once that office door closes. Steve Bisson pulls back the curtain on these therapeutic misconceptions with refreshing candor and humor. Gone are the days of viewing therapists as perfect, emotionless professionals who maintain rigid boundaries and never reveal their humanity.Swearing in therapy? Absolutely appropriate. As Steve explains, nothing says authenticity like a well-placed expletive that truly captures the emotion behind an experience. When clients and therapists can express themselves genuinely without filtering, real therapeutic work begins. The goal isn't pristine language but creating a space where raw emotions and experiences can be safely explored.Perhaps most revealing is Steve's assertion that therapists are fundamentally human. They think about clients between sessions, sometimes struggle with their own life challenges, and yes – many see therapists themselves. This humanity doesn't compromise their effectiveness but enhances it. When a therapist acknowledges their imperfections, it gives clients permission to embrace their own. There's something profoundly healing about knowing your therapist understands struggle not just academically but personally.Making mistakes is another area where therapy myths need debunking. Good therapists make mistakes, acknowledge them, and learn from them. Whether it's forgetting a name or misunderstanding a situation, these moments become opportunities to model healthy responses to imperfection. As Steve shares from his own practice, these transparent moments often strengthen the therapeutic alliance rather than damage it. The therapeutic journey becomes truly collaborative when both participants can learn from each other and grow together.What therapy misconceptions have you encountered?

A new slate of Christian movies and television shows is managing to draw both acclaim from critics and the attention of non-believers. Are the days of cringy Christian media finally behind us? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the impact of “The Chosen” and the new Amazon series, “House of David.” What do these shows get right that so many past faith-based projects got wrong? The Oscar-winning documentary, “No Other Land,” cannot find a distributor in the U.S. because critics say it's antisemitic, but Phil managed to watch it anyway. He offers his take on the movie, why it's controversial, and how we can distinguish between sinful antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the Israeli government. Then, Kaitlyn interviews Glenn Packiam about his new book about the Nicene Creed, “What's a Christian Anyway?” Packiam says the creed can be a beautiful lifeline to people caught in the crosswinds of church corruption and cultural confusion.

Bonus Episode: Check out this episode from our newest podcast, What We Find in the Dark with host Aubrey SampsonWhen we find ourselves in the dark after loss, big questions often follow: Where is God now? Why can't I see Him here? Why can't we sense His presence? How can I trust that God is good? Why did this happen?The deep theological wrestlings that often arise after the pain of grief can be jarring. But we need permission to ask the raw questions. We need a space to say them aloud. And we need a guide to help us find answers in the dark.In this first episode of the What We Find in the Dark Podcast, join host Aubrey Sampson and her guest, pastor and author Glenn Packiam, as they uncover what exactly entails a dark night of the soul, the questions that can emerge after a season of loss and grief, and why wrestling with God in our biggest questions is so important. If you find yourself struggling with a darkness and seeming silence from God, this conversation will help you see what may feel obscure in the darkest seasons of loss and grief.
