Host: Jen Brown & Erin BahrenfussTOPICS: Focus to Flourish 2026

First Baptist Arlington, hosts Katy Reed Hodges and Dr. Dennis Wiles gather around the mic to unpack Flourishing.In this episode, the team reflects on the first Sunday of New Year and Dr. Wiles' sermon, Designed to Flourish! -by discussing their theme of "flourishing together" and their upcoming study of the Book of John.The Tell Me More podcast hosts return for 2025 with excitement about their church's new focus on "flourishing together." Drawing from the powerful imagery of a super bloom in Death Valley, they illustrate how God can bring extraordinary life from seemingly barren places. This becomes their central metaphor for the year - that under the right spiritual conditions, people who seem dormant can experience incredible growth and transformation.The discussion centers on their upcoming study of the Book of John, which contains rich imagery about abiding, gardening, and spiritual fruitfulness. They emphasize that true flourishing isn't about material prosperity or the absence of pain, but about experiencing God's goodness even in difficult circumstances. The hosts share their partnership with the Global Flourishing Study and their commitment to intentional discipleship. They believe that consistently putting oneself in the right spiritual conditions - through Bible study, community, and faithful obedience - will bear fruit over time, not just in individual lives but in ways that bless everyone around them.

If you've spent years — or decades — starting diets on Monday, feeling "good" or "bad" based on what you ate, or letting the scale decide your mood for the day… this episode is a deep breath of fresh air. In this powerful Tea & Truth conversation, Lynne invites you to gently step out of diet culture and into a new way of relating to food, your body, and your midlife health: nourish, don't punish. You'll learn why strict dieting backfires in midlife (especially with shifting hormones), how it impacts your metabolism, mood, cravings, and self-worth — and what it looks like to support your body with kind, steady, hormone-friendly nourishment instead of restriction and shame. This isn't about giving up on your health. It's about finally choosing approaches that actually work for women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

What does it actually mean to grow as a Christian? In Part 1 of our new sermon series Growth: The Work of God, we begin at the very beginning — with seeds. Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13, this message explores how spiritual growth starts, why it sometimes stalls, and what it takes to flourish in Christ no matter the season. From the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ, Scripture reveals that God is a God of planting, cultivating, and multiplying life. While salvation is a gift, growth is intentional — and the condition of the soil matters. In this message, you'll discover: Why every follower of Jesus starts as a seed What prevents spiritual growth from taking root How Jesus restores access to abundant life Why church, Scripture, and prayer are essential for growth How your life was designed to bear fruit that blesses others Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for decades, this message reminds us that there is always more — more life, more freedom, more flourishing in Christ

What does it truly mean to flourish spiritually in our modern world? This exploration of Psalm 1 invites us into a profound meditation on the two paths set before every person: the way of blessing and the way of warning. We're confronted with a stark reality—our world is saturated with voices claiming to offer us the good life, from social media influencers to news channels to well-meaning advice-givers. Yet wisdom calls us to discernment: whose counsel are we actually following? The psalm presents a vivid progression of spiritual decline—from walking with the wicked, to standing with sinners, to sitting with scoffers—a gradual descent from activity to passivity, from movement to being stuck. But the blessed person? They delight in God's instruction, meditating on it day and night. This meditation isn't merely intellectual exercise or box-checking; it's like a dog with a bone, turning it over, savoring it, extracting every bit of nourishment. The promise is beautiful: we become like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in season, leaves never withering. Yet here's the tension we must wrestle with—none of us can achieve this righteousness on our own. We all fall short. This is where the psalm points us forward to Jesus, the true vine to whom we must abide. It's only through Christ that we gain access to this flourishing life, and reading Scripture becomes our lifeline to knowing Him more deeply, not just knowing about Him, but truly knowing Him in intimate relationship.

What if the simple act of reading could transform our entire year? This message invites us into a powerful journey through Scripture, beginning with Psalm 1's beautiful promise that those who delight in God's Word become like trees planted by streams of water—flourishing, fruitful, and deeply rooted. The contrast is striking: while the wicked are compared to worthless chaff blown away by wind, those who meditate on God's teaching become weighty, worthy people of substance. We're challenged to read the entire Bible this year, not as a burdensome task but as a life-giving practice that takes only about 20 minutes daily. The Hebrew word 'Torah' isn't just law—it's God's comprehensive instruction, like an archer shooting an arrow toward a target. That target is Christ-likeness, and every word of Scripture aims our lives in that direction. As we engage with God's Word, we discover three profound benefits: a secure identity rooted in our spiritual heritage, stability that withstands life's storms, and daily nourishment that produces the fruit of the Spirit. The message reminds us that God's primary goal isn't just what we accomplish but who we become—strong, noble, beautiful people fit for His eternal kingdom.

It doesn't have to always feel so hard or so intense. AND, when you step away  from a long time habit; (for me in this case: saying goodbye to a 17 year relationship with social media) change takes time, lightness, humor, peacefulness make room, patterns naturally unravel and unwind and (un) conscious behaviors recalibrate when stepping into stillness, quiet and calm. Is peaceful boring? If peace is what I want to feel can it feel satisfying as my human nature? Stable and Steady YES!Here are some things I am entering the new year with: GROUNDiNG: (for me, I am wearing Earthing Harmony shoes with a copper ring on an acupuncture point that take a month to break in, so I'll keep you posted on how that slows me down for the present because everyone has their own unique experience).Clearing resistance, opening up to a new possibility, opening heart to life, digesting the past necessary shocks to the system can be learning curves, challenges and extremes. Sometimes the middle ground is not a default setting and smooth sailing can be a skill to genuinely appreciate with routine, predictability, repetition and clarity (for me, emotionally dense experiences to catalyze and get to where I am now has allowed me to return to being with what is: when the nervous system receives a lot of shocks - coming back into growth, evolution, perspective shifts and thankfulness).One of my triggers recently said: When I am not feeling heard it can feel easy to believe the idea "what if I feel like this forever?" No more strict rules or obligations. No more judgement/punishment energy. No more burdens. Opening ups to self forgiveness and remembrance. Time for benevolence and care and holding tenderness with LOVE! It's easy for me to give love. It's my edge to open my heart to receiving love in all ways and support. I deepen my capacity for leading with heart and generosity. I trust you life:)I love you!Want to support the show: https://www.venmo.com/u/magicmomentsplay

Happy New Year!! This is a check-in episode where I'm chatting honestly about resolutions, burning out on your dreams, purpose, and how to make this year feel exciting and sustainable instead of exhausting or empty at the end. I share why most New Year's resolutions don't stick, not because you lack discipline, but because the goals and intentions are usually built on pressure instead of inner alignment. We talk about slowing down, honoring your true day-to-day capacity, and shifting from an outcome focused goal to intentions that support your nervous system, your cycle, and your relationship with yourself. What I want for you more than anything is to feel confident in the way you move in the world and within your purpose- because that's the best way we can all make heaven on earth! Let's make this the best year (in whatever way we deem fit) of our lives!If you are in the LA area and are interested in coming to a Yin + Sound - be sure to follow @amandavsevilla on instagram for more updates on the next ones!===Connect with me for daily inspiration, resources, and upcoming events to live your purpose:www.amandavsevilla.com/  Instagram.com/flourishwithpurposepodcast/Instagram.com/amandavsevilla/Tiktok.com/@amandavsevilla/Youtube.com/@amandavsevillaBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Amanda Sevilla, or used by Amanda Sevilla with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, speaker, and former corporate executive Ava Pennington to talk about what it truly means to flourish—not by striving harder, but by surrendering more deeply to the Holy Spirit.Ava shares her journey from the corporate world to full-time writing and teaching, her powerful testimony of faith shaped over decades, and the sacred grief of losing her husband of 40 years to cancer. With honesty and wisdom, she reminds us that grief is not linear, seasons change, and God remains our anchor through it all.We dive into her newest book, Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, and unpack the Fruit of the Spirit—why we often feel like we “don't have enough,” and how God grows fruit in us through surrender, not self-effort.In This Episode, We Talk About: • Leaving the corporate world to follow God's call • Walking through grief with hope and eternal perspective • Why the Fruit of the Spirit is grown through surrender, not striving • Recognizing seasons and giving ourselves grace within them • Learning to draw strength from God instead of ourselvesThis conversation is rich, grounding, and deeply encouraging for anyone navigating loss, calling, or a longing for deeper spiritual growth.Bio:Ava Pennington is an accomplished author, speaker, and Bible teacher whose previous work, Reflections on the Names of God, won third place in the 2023 Golden Scroll Awards.

About Dr. Glenn Livington: Dr Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Doctor Glenn's work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Show Notes: If food feels like it has power over you — whether that means occasional overeating, persistent cravings, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "starting tomorrow" — this episode offers a radically different and compassionate approach. In this powerful conversation, Glenn Livingston, psychologist and author of Defeat Your Cravings, explains why willpower is not the solution to food struggles — and how lasting freedom comes from learning to quiet the brain's emergency response around food. Dr. Glenn shares how cravings are rooted in the nervous system, why deprivation backfires, and how nourishing your body properly allows the rational brain to regain control. Together, we explore the science behind cravings, binge urges, and emotional eating — including the concept of the cravings extinction curve, why cravings intensify before they disappear, and how self-care, sleep, and nutrition play a critical role in calming the brain. This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical tools for anyone who wants peace with food — without dieting, restriction, or shame. ✨ What You'll Learn ·         Why willpower fails — and what works instead ·         How cravings are driven by the fight-or-flight nervous system ·         The science of the cravings extinction curve ·         Why nourishing your body reduces binge urges ·         How sleep, stress, and decision fatigue impact cravings ·         How to stop "starting tomorrow" and work with the present moment ·         Why extreme diets make cravings worse, not better ·         How to regain calm, control, and choice around food

You can be living what looks like a meaningful life, and *still* feel tired, disconnected, and burned out. In today's episode, I'm sharing a very helpful perspective through the lens of Ayurveda that has helped me reframe the “burned out” feeling I used to get on this journey. We're going to talk about the Ayurvedic Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, but less as a mind-body constitution and more as natural phases we move through while living out our life purpose. I'll share why seeing purpose in this way- as a cyclical process that includes seasons of creativity, action, and rest- can help us feel more empowered in sharing our life mission. We're going to dive into how chronic stress, burnout, and feeling out of alignment can come from ignoring our own mind-body-soul rhythms that naturally guide us through the years. Ayurveda, in particular, is such an amazing tool for us to know when it's time to fuel the dreams, put the pedal to the metal, or when to slow down (and without feeling guilty or like our dream life will be stalled). Press play, and let this episode remind you that you're never truly “behind” in living your purpose, you can just be moving through a new and renewing season!===Connect with me for daily inspiration, resources, and upcoming events to live your purpose:www.amandavsevilla.com/  Instagram.com/flourishwithpurposepodcast/Instagram.com/amandavsevilla/Tiktok.com/@amandavsevilla/Youtube.com/@amandavsevillaBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Amanda Sevilla, or used by Amanda Sevilla with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Magatte Wade about her book, The Heart of Cheetah, her personal journey, entrepreneurial ventures, and her vision for a free and prosperous Africa. Magatte was key voice and important influence in the film I directed, Poverty, Inc. She is a force for promoting freedom, the dignity of the person, and entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in Africa and throughout the world. I've know Magatte for many years and am delighted to have her on the podcast. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding African poverty and the need for economic freedom and institutions of justice – private property, rule of law, and ability to participate in the formal economy - for fostering opportunity and human flourishing for the poor. At the end of our conversation we also talk about poverty in America, the American dream from the perspective of an immigrant, emphasizing the need for a balance between material prosperity and moral values. Magatte emphasizes that Africa will only thrive through entrepreneurship, political and economic freedom, and a commitment to rule of law and human dignity.Biography Magatte Wade is founder of SkinIsSkin, and Senior Fellow at Atlas Network, the leading organization of African free-market think tanks.

Send us a messageToday, we arrive in summer - the season of abundance. Summer is where growth becomes visible, where things feel fuller and more established, and where the work of previous seasons begins to bear fruit. It's a time of joy, productivity, and confidence, but also a season that requires attentiveness. Summer invites us not only to enjoy what has grown, but to steward it well. In this episode, we're going to talk about how to recognize abundance in your life, how to stay rooted and grateful when things are going well, and how to live fully in a season where God's blessings are not hidden, but clearly on display.

Ever felt the itch to change everything — but also felt paralyzed because you've built a community, payroll, and a reputation on the “old thing”?I sat down with Tracy Matthews, a serial reinventer who's survived bankruptcy, built and rebuilt seven-figure creative businesses, and now runs a program called The Art of Reinvention.This episode is a masterclass in doing the pivot work without burning it all down (unless you actually want to). We get honest about the messy middle: burnout, descaling, the loneliness of leadership, and the brutal clarity that hit after 2008 when Tracy's jewelry company imploded.If you're tired of launching the same thing in different packaging, or you're stuck between keeping a legacy brand alive and chasing a new north star, this episode will give you permission, structure and a shove.What we unpacked Why reinvention is not flaky — it's how you stay relevant, wealthy, and inspired. How Tracy rebuilt after bankruptcy and turned custom relationships into a new, profitable model. The emotional and financial reasons founders resist “hard pivots,” and how to descale with dignity. When community becomes the thing that holds you back and how to bring people along ethically. The 3-step Art of Reinvention framework: Clarity → Create → Cultivate (and what each step actually looks like). How to write a vibrant, visual vision (not a boring sentence) that consistently pulls you forward. Why creativity is the business life force — and how to find it again when you're burned out. Practical product strategy: one core offer that serves beginners through scale-ups. You'll walk away withA clear first action if you think you need a reinvention but don't know where to start. Language to explain a pivot to your team and community without sounding flaky. A refresh checklist for deciding what to keep, what to kill, and what to consolidate. The emotional permission to “work yourself out of the business” and why that might be the boldest move you make.>>MEET TRACY

I also share pieces of my own journey with self discovery and healing so you can recognize your story inside mine. If you've been feeling restless, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next steps, this conversation will help you understand purpose in a way you can actually relate to.
