James 1: Does James Contradict Paul?   Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com Does the book of James contradict Paul—or have Christians misunderstood James for centuries?   In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we begin our study of the book of James by examining one of the most debated books in the New Testament. We explore why Martin Luther famously questioned James, how faith and works actually fit together, and why James is deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus.   Topics include:   Why Martin Luther called James an "epistle of straw" Does James contradict Paul's teaching on salvation? Faith vs. works—or faith that works? What is the "Royal Law"? The Shema and the Greatest Commandment Loving your neighbor as yourself The Good Samaritan and redefining "neighbor" James' concern for the poor and marginalized Covenantal nomism and Second Temple Judaism Why James echoes the Sermon on the Mount James, the brother of Jesus, and his remarkable transformation Why understanding the Gospels is essential for understanding Paul   We also discuss how the church can faithfully apply James today by pursuing justice, mercy, and genuine love for others rather than merely professing faith.   If you've ever wrestled with James 2, "faith without works is dead," or wondered how James and Paul fit together, this episode provides historical, biblical, and theological context.  

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com   What does the book of Hebrews mean when it says that Jesus is "better"?   In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we conclude our study of Hebrews by exploring one of its central themes: Jesus is the fulfillment of everything the Old Testament anticipated—not because God abandoned His promises, but because those promises reach their climax in Christ.   Together we discuss:   What Hebrews means by "Jesus is better" Fulfillment theology vs. replacement theology Why the Old Testament remains essential for understanding Jesus The relationship between the Old and New Covenants Melchizedek and why his priesthood matters Why Jesus is our eternal High Priest The significance of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice The purpose of the Levitical priesthood Hebrews 11 and what the "heroes of faith" actually teach Hebrews 12 and persevering through suffering Why Christians should keep their eyes fixed on Christ—even when the church disappoints them   We also examine several passages that are frequently discussed in conversations about Christian Zionism, dispensationalism, covenant theology, and biblical fulfillment, while emphasizing the importance of reading Hebrews within the larger story of Scripture.   If you've ever wondered why Hebrews spends so much time comparing Jesus to the temple, sacrifices, priesthood, and Old Testament institutions, this episode offers a theological framework that ties the entire book together. #Hebrews #BibleStudy #ChristianTheology #NewTestament #JesusChrist #BiblicalStudies #OldTestament #ChristianPodcast #Theology #BibleTeaching #DeterminedTruth #Faith #Scripture #BiblePodcast #Church #dispensationalism #zionism Vinnie Angelo & Rob Dalrymple FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com   **Hebrews is one of the most theologically rich—and often overlooked—books in the New Testament. In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we continue our introduction to Hebrews by exploring why it has been so influential in Christian theology, why it's often neglected in churches, and how its message is deeply rooted in the Old Testament.**   Rob and Vinnie discuss the book's unknown author, why many scholars believe Hebrews is a sermon rather than a traditional letter, and the challenges of interpreting a book so thoroughly grounded in Jewish Scripture and the sacrificial system. They also examine Hebrews' remarkably high Christology, showing how the author presents Jesus as greater than the prophets, angels, Moses, Joshua, and ultimately the entire Old Covenant.   The conversation also tackles common misunderstandings about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing fulfillment rather than replacement. Along the way, Rob and Vinnie discuss perseverance, assurance of salvation, and why Hebrews repeatedly calls believers to remain faithful to Christ.

www.determinetruth.com What is the book of Hebrews really about and who wrote it? In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we are joined by New Testament scholar Dana Harris to begin an in-depth exploration of one of the most fascinating—and often misunderstood—books in the New Testament. Hebrews is packed with rich theology, Old Testament references, warnings about perseverance, and one of the highest views of Christ found anywhere in Scripture. Yet many Christians find the book difficult to understand. Together, we discuss: Why Hebrews is so important for understanding the entire Bible Why most scholars do not believe Paul wrote Hebrews The strongest candidates for the book's authorship The relationship between the Old and New Testaments How Hebrews presents Jesus as God's ultimate revelation The meaning of "Jesus is better" throughout the book Why Hebrews uses the Old Testament so extensively The challenges faced by the original audience Perseverance, suffering, and faithfulness in difficult times The mystery of Melchizedek and Hebrews 7 Whether Hebrews 11 is really a "Hall of Faith" How biblical theology differs from systematic theology What Hebrews teaches about the humanity and divinity of Christ   Dr. Harris also offers practical insights into how modern Christians can read Hebrews without getting lost in the details and why understanding God's larger story of redemption is essential for interpreting Scripture well. If you've ever struggled with Hebrews—or wondered why it matters—this conversation provides an excellent introduction to one of the New Testament's most profound books.   FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, I speak with Cam Cordin about his powerful journey from chronic pain, physical breakdown and emotional rock bottom to rebuilding his health through discipline, resilience and what he calls the Savage Chill System.Cam had spent years training hard through powerlifting, Jiu Jitsu and athletics, but by his late thirties, his body began to break down. What started as soreness gradually became debilitating pain, numbness in his hands, and the realisation that he could no longer keep pushing through life in the same way.After facing the prospect of managed decline, pain medication and a life that felt increasingly limited, Cam made a decision: he was going to stop outsourcing responsibility for his health and begin understanding what his body truly needed.In this conversation, Cam shares how cold exposure, kettlebell training, mental resilience and a structured daily system helped him rebuild his body, reconnect with his purpose and move beyond simply managing symptoms.We discuss why discomfort is often something to move towards rather than avoid, how fear can hold people back from change, and why real transformation often requires both physical and mental discipline.This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not always comfortable, linear or easy — but with the right mindset, structure and support, it is possible to reclaim your health and your life.In this episode, we discuss: Why Cam's health started to decline despite years of athletic trainingHow chronic pain, numbness and physical limitation affected his lifeWhy conventional approaches did not give him the answers he neededHow cold exposure became a turning point in his recoveryThe role of kettlebell training in rebuilding strength and resilienceWhy mental toughness is not about ignoring pain, but learning how to respond differentlyHow Cam developed the Savage Chill SystemWhy structure, consistency and personal responsibility matter in healingPractical first steps for people who feel stuck in pain or poor healthConnect with Cam Cordin:Website: https://savagechillstyle.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/camcordinConnect with Leigh:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter: https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com Does the New Testament support slavery? In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we conclude our study of Philemon, one of the shortest—and most debated—books in the New Testament. Paul's letter to Philemon centers on a runaway slave named Onesimus, a wealthy Christian named Philemon, and a challenge that continues to spark discussion today: Why doesn't Paul explicitly condemn slavery? In this conversation, we explore: The historical context of slavery in the Roman Empire The relationship between Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus Whether Paul is gently persuading Philemon or subtly pressuring him The significance of receiving Onesimus as "a beloved brother" How reconciliation stands at the center of Paul's theology The difference between Roman slavery and American chattel slavery Why the early church may not have directly confronted the institution of slavery Whether Paul's teachings ultimately undermine slavery itself What this letter teaches modern Christians about human dignity, power, and justice We also discuss broader themes found throughout Paul's writings, including unity in Christ, reconciliation across social boundaries, and the challenge of living out the gospel in deeply broken systems. Whether you're studying Philemon, wrestling with difficult passages about slavery, or seeking to understand the historical world of the New Testament, this episode provides important context and thoughtful discussion.

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com   The book of Philemon raises one of the most difficult questions in all of Scripture: What does the Bible actually say about slavery?   In this episode of the Determine Truth Podcast, Rob and Vinnie begin a two-part discussion on Philemon, Onesimus, and the complicated relationship between slavery, biblical interpretation, and Christian history. Along the way, they explore how Scripture has been used throughout history to justify slavery, segregation, antisemitism, colonialism, war, and other harmful practices—and why careful, humble interpretation matters.   The conversation examines: The historical context of Philemon and Onesimus Slavery in the ancient world versus American chattel slavery How Christians have used the Bible to defend harmful systems Why biblical interpretation requires humility The relationship between truth, Scripture, and Jesus The trajectory of justice and human dignity throughout the biblical story Why Philemon remains one of the most important and challenging books in the New Testament Whether you're wrestling with difficult passages in Scripture, questioning how Christians have interpreted the Bible, or seeking a deeper understanding of Philemon, this discussion offers thoughtful engagement with one of Christianity's most challenging topics.   William Webb, Slaves, Women, and Homosexuals  https://www.amazon.com/Slaves-Women-Homosexuals-Exploring-Hermeneutics/dp/0830815619/ref=sr_1_1?crid=G03LUOVZW64P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WYgYVxQLdH4xNWPaz4aWpQ.LubOEzSZ3E4qQhhZgLwEjl1ZCdSyTbW0Q3mYZRicjV0&dib_tag=se&keywords=William+Webb%2C+Slaves%2C+Women%2C+and+Homosexuals&qid=1781461982&sprefix=william+webb%2C+slaves%2C+women%2C+and+homosexuals%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1 Bible Project with Carmen Imes https://bibleproject.com/classroom/exodus-overview-carmen-imes/sessions/20 Christopher Wright, Ethics and the OT People of God https://www.amazon.com/Old-Testament-Ethics-People-God/dp/0830839615/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=186429966876&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.L76EmsYb3BNGoNWLdKSW6lx6FfiWzFfEcEb-ezDBjeyTJ6e7NTUBf4PEtyjarevYvxFAx6eKja_WP99vwZVljZmg1_teuBfFAOyzwKM8m7hjkKV-O73Sr8vCU8-x2cjsjiozLeZxB6vav7R67tKI1a4INf7gQfd3TtK4eyTgNuh78MBibWUyeXRrYGCTt0K0Lb9J18jng5uppFFtjDSI9vxJwA7M_DY11BxD_udWnlM.TUqwwxZwIg1ExcKPNoyL-uGQp409hKN8feiluQ4RMzc&dib_tag=se&hvadid=792918667589&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=1014081&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=2282925062319380072--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2282925062319380072&hvtargid=kwd-375817568813&hydadcr=2931_13892005_2446146&keywords=old+testament+ethics+wright&mcid=1a98bc646a1a37088de45a45a662907c&qid=1781462073&sr=8-1 FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

Pain relief matters — but is it the same as recovery?In this solo episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon takes you behind the scenes of his new book, Beyond The Pain: A Whole-Person Approach to Understanding Pain and Participating in Recovery.After nearly three decades of working with people in persistent pain, Leigh shares why so many people experience temporary relief, only for their pain to return days, weeks, or months later. He explores why pain is often misunderstood when it is reduced to a body part, scan finding, diagnosis, posture issue, or single treatment approach.Through the story of Amelia, a client with recurring neck and shoulder pain, cervical spinal stenosis, fatigue, digestive issues, bloating and headaches, Leigh explains how structural, metabolic, lifestyle, emotional and nervous system factors can all interact to influence pain and recovery.This episode is not about blaming people for their pain. It is about helping people understand that they may have more influence over their recovery than they have been led to believe.In this episode, Leigh discusses:Why pain relief is not always the same as recoveryWhy persistent pain often returns after treatmentHow a diagnosis can be useful — but also limitingWhy pain should not always be viewed as a simple damage signalHow digestion, stress, inflammation, fatigue and movement patterns can all influence painWhy recovery often requires a whole-person frameworkThe difference between personal responsibility and blameWhy Beyond The Pain was writtenYou can find Leigh here:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter:https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme:https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh:https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation/

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com What happens when the place that was supposed to feel spiritually safe becomes the source of deep pain? In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we continue our conversation on religious trauma, spiritual abuse, PTSD, and moral injury with licensed trauma clinician Eric Winton. Together, we explore: The difference between church hurt, religious trauma, and moral injury Why some people struggle to even walk into a church building How trauma impacts the brain, emotions, relationships, and faith The danger of minimizing deep wounds with clichés like “just forgive and move on” Why healing often requires both safe community and trained professional help What pastors and church leaders need to understand about trauma-informed care How churches can become places of compassion instead of additional harm Why there is still real hope and healing after spiritual abuse This is an honest, nuanced, and compassionate conversation for: Pastors and church leaders Survivors of spiritual abuse or religious trauma Christians wrestling with deconstruction Anyone trying to understand PTSD, trauma, shame, and healing within faith communities If this conversation resonates with you, know this: you are not weak, crazy, or alone. Healing is possible.

Chronic pain can take over your life, affecting how you move, think, feel, sleep, work and connect with the people around you. But what if part of the way forward was not forcing your body harder, but learning how to move with more awareness, ease and intelligence?In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon speaks with Beverly, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and founder of Pauseture, about how her own debilitating back pain led her away from the corporate world and into the Feldenkrais Method.After trying several approaches without lasting success, Beverly experienced a dramatic shift during her first Feldenkrais lesson. Through gentle movement and awareness, she discovered a new way of relating to her body — one that eventually helped her overcome pain, improve mobility and regulate her nervous system.In this conversation, Beverly explains how Feldenkrais can help people with chronic pain by improving body awareness, changing habitual movement patterns and helping the nervous system feel safer.You'll hear about:Why chronic pain is not always solved by stretching, strengthening or “fixing” the painful areaHow gentle movement can help calm the nervous systemThe role of awareness in pain recoveryWhy forcing movement can sometimes make pain worseHow Feldenkrais differs from conventional exercise or therapyBeverly's personal journey from severe back pain to becoming a practitionerHow Pauseture helps people bring mindful movement into everyday lifeIf you have been living with persistent back pain, chronic pain, stiffness, tension or movement fear, this episode offers a hopeful and practical conversation about a different way to approach recovery.Beverly's Details:Website: https://www.pauseture.com/Apple App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pauseture-mindful-movement/id6483941228Google Play App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otrofy.pauseture&hl=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pauseture/Leigh's Details:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter: https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme: https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh: https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

Can church experiences cause real trauma? What is spiritual abuse? And how should Christians think about PTSD, anxiety, trauma, therapy, and healing? In this episode of the Determine Truth Podcast, we sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Eric Winton to discuss the growing conversation surrounding church trauma, spiritual abuse, PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and mental health within Christian spaces. Eric brings both clinical expertise and years of pastoral ministry experience to this conversation as we explore: What trauma actually is The difference between PTSD and complex PTSD Spiritual abuse and “spiritual bypassing” Why overspiritualizing pain can cause harm How churches unintentionally retraumatize people Biblical counseling vs clinical therapy Why some people no longer feel safe in church The role of empathy, wisdom, and healing in Christian communities This episode is honest, compassionate, and deeply important for pastors, church leaders, ministry workers, counselors, and anyone navigating spiritual hurt or trauma.

In this episode of Beyond The Pain, I'm joined by Eric Headlee, who shares his remarkable journey from a catastrophic knee injury to exploring holistic health, biohacking, stem cell therapy, and longevity practices.Eric opens up about how injury, pain, and declining health led him to question the limitations of conventional approaches and search for deeper answers. We discuss his experience with reversing liver fibrosis, the role of stem cell therapy in recovery, and how mental, emotional, and physical health all interact when it comes to chronic pain.This conversation explores why pain is rarely just a mechanical issue, how trauma and emotional stress can influence the body, and why people dealing with persistent pain may need to look beyond symptom management if they want long-term change.We discuss:Eric's personal injury and recovery journeyThe limitations of traditional medicineBiohacking and reversing liver fibrosisStem cell therapy versus surgeryThe impact of mental health on physical painTrauma, emotional health, and chronic painLongevity practices and future health optimisationContact Eric:www.ariseelitelongevity.comwww.thearisemethods.comContact Leigh:Beyond The Pain book Free Chapter - https://bodychek.co.uk/book-waitlist/Beyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/Consult with Leigh - https://www.bodychek.co.uk/consultation

In this episode of the Determined Truth Podcast, we continue our important conversation on abuse in the church—focusing on power dynamics, safeguarding, and how churches can become truly safe environments. What happens when leadership power is misused? How can churches protect the vulnerable while still fostering trust and community? And what practical steps can leaders take today to prevent abuse before it happens? We explore: Why power differentials matter—and why ignoring them is dangerous How lack of accountability enables abuse and silences victims The difference between claiming safety and actually creating a safe culture Key safeguarding practices every church should implement immediately The importance of clear policies, background checks, and ongoing training Why churches must partner with trained professionals in abuse and trauma care How to stay both wise and discerning without becoming cynical or fearful This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply needed for pastors, church leaders, and anyone who cares about the health of the Church. If we want to reflect Christ well, we must be willing to confront hard truths—and take real action.

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health, this time engaging the DIFFICULT conversation of s3xu@l abuse within the church and within church systems.    We bring back our friend Somer Ransom to discuss her experience as a church practitioner and what she's learned about this subject over the years. What is the appropriate way for opposite-gender Christians to engage? Is the “Billy Graham Rule” the 11th Commandment?

Download the FREE CHAPTER from the Old Money Mindset Workbook: Money Story MappingFor many first generation women, money is deeply tied to family, culture, and expectation. Being the one who understands credit, earns more, or “makes it” can quietly turn into becoming the family safety net.In this episode, I talk with Giovanna “Gigi” Gonzalez, author of Cultura & Cash, about the pressure of being a first generation daughter, the guilt that can come with setting financial boundaries, and how to build stability without losing connection to family or cultural identity. If you're feeling torn between being a good daughter and becoming financially independent, this conversation will feel validating and empowering.We're giving away 3 copies of Cultura & Cash!

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health…and sometimes the lackthereof.    In this replay episode (July 2021), they bring on special guests Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer to discuss their book, A Church Called Tov.    Tragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches…Respected author and theologian Scot McKnight and former Willow Creek member Laura Barringer wrote this book to paint a pathway forward for the church.   We need a better way. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuses of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses occur most frequently when Christians neglect to create a culture that resists abuse and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth.   How do we keep these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us from where we are today to where we ought to be as the body of Christ. That map is in a mysterious and beautiful little Hebrew word in Scripture that we translate “good,” the word tov.   In this book, McKnight and Barringer explore the concept of tov―unpacking its richness and how it can help Christians and churches rise up to fulfill their true calling as imitators of Jesus. This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.    Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com/ Great Resources on the topic of Creating Healthy Churches   Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I?

Download the FREE CHAPTER from the Old Money Mindset Workbook: Money Story MappingYour family may not have handed you a trust fund... but they handed you something that's been shaping your relationship with money ever since.Before anyone ever sat you down and explained money, money was already teaching you. Every family passes down a financial inheritance that has nothing to do with bank accounts — it's the stories, the silences, the arguments, the phrases you heard so many times they became beliefs. 'We can't afford that.' 'Money doesn't grow on trees.' 'Rich people are greedy.' Sound familiar?In this episode, I'm breaking down how childhood money beliefs become adult money patterns- why the nervous system stores them as survival strategies, and why most budgeting and financial advice fails because it never touches this layer. I'm also introducing two identities that I think are going to completely change how you see your own financial behavior: the Poor Little Girl and the Wealthy Woman.In this episode, you'll learn:How money beliefs are inherited without a single direct conversation, through observation, emotional atmosphere, and family behaviorThe three channels money programming travels through: family environment, social and cultural conditioning, and observed behaviorWhy old money families pass down a nervous system relationship with money, not just assets, and how to build that foundation for yourselfThe Poor Little Girl identity: what she learned about money, how she survived, and why she's been running your financial decisions ever sinceThe Wealthy Woman identity: what changes when your nervous system believes money is safeHow to start mapping your own money story, and the free workbook that walks you through it step by stepThis episode comes with a free resource: a snippet of the Old Money Mindset workbook: the Money Story Mapping exercise I give students inside the course. It's free, it takes 20 minutes, and it will show you your money patterns more clearly than years of budgeting advice ever did.Download the FREE CHAPTER from the Old Money Mindset Workbook: Money Story Mapping----------------------------Referenced in this Episode:Episode 116.

In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Christine Trimpe, founder of the SugarFreed® Method and author of SugarFreed: Stop Losing the Weight Loss Battle, Start Gaining the Victory, to unpack the real reason so many high-achieving women feel stuck when it comes to their health. Christine shares her powerful personal story of losing over 100 pounds and breaking free from years of sugar addiction, revealing why traditional dieting fails and what it actually takes to create lasting transformation. This conversation goes beyond food and fitness, diving into burnout, perfectionism, emotional health, and the deeper connection between faith and wellness. Together, they explore how ambition can quietly sabotage health, why body composition matters more than the scale, and how women can finally break free from what Christine calls "sugar shackles" to reclaim their energy, clarity, and purpose. If you've been doing all the "right things" but still feel exhausted, stuck, or frustrated with your health, this episode will challenge your thinking—and give you a new path forward. What we discuss in this episode: • Christine's 100-pound weight loss journey and what finally worked • What "sugar shackles" are and how they impact your body and brain • The hidden link between burnout, ambition, and poor health • Why dieting alone doesn't solve weight or energy issues • The importance of body composition and metabolic health • How to break destructive eating patterns and emotional cycles • The role of faith in healing and sustainable transformation • Why community and accountability are essential for long-term success Key takeaways: • High-achieving women often ignore early health warning signs until burnout hits • Sugar addiction is not about lack of willpower—it's a deeper physiological and emotional cycle • Lasting weight loss requires addressing mindset, habits, and internal healing • Sustainable health comes from aligning physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being • True transformation happens when you shift identity—not just behavior Notable quotes from the episode: • You can't outwork a broken relationship with food • Sugar isn't just a habit, it's a stronghold for many women • Burnout is often the result of success without sustainability • Your body is not the enemy—it's the messenger • Real change starts when you stop chasing results and start rebuilding your foundation About the guest: Christine Trimpe is a wellness leader dedicated to helping professional Christian women reclaim their health through a faith-based, holistic approach. After overcoming her own struggles with sugar addiction and weight loss, she created the SugarFreed® Method to help women break free from cycles of dieting, burnout, and frustration. Her work has been featured on Christian Broadcasting Network's Healthy Living and in national publications like Woman's World and First for Women.

Rob and Vinnie continue their series on Church Health…and sometimes the lackthereof. In this episode, they finish discussing the proper application of Matthew 18 when peers within the church need to resolve conflict. Then they spend exploring the biblical concept of Forgiveness: what it is, what it is NOT, and how it relates to justice and reconciliation.     This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.    Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com/ Great Resources on the topic of Creating Healthy Churches   Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I?

Rob, Vinnie, and Danny Hall continue discussing the issue of unhealthy church systems and leaders. In the first chunk, they address the pursuit of seeing the church as a kingdom family (and the importance of community that's needed to become self-aware in our pursuit of health).    In the second part of the show, they discuss the spectrum of church hurt, abuse, and trauma, and how the terms are often (wrongly) used interchangeably when they shouldn't.     This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.    Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com/ Great Resources on the topic of Creating Healthy Churches   A Church Called Tov (Scot McKnight) https://www.amazon.com/Church-Called-Tov-Goodness-Promotes/dp/1496446003/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4lBAQzf3oJglpTj_7R8NbAeOg0H2oH4CTgx81Cm9okZZVtD9VFcS1uSUfVV2EQm5KZL1himBpHsyFB4D_Gifo4cf1QusTB-POg2TVGG7LdGmQvQa0IB928VE-Lzebn0QaYbWTVGVFLpXeUIBI_xAwisMWdvmpzjWJxaEPeX_KDzkLcEidFqxV9x2KN137nu9_VqW_lpT5_tSt6oq8-Jdy9yqaU0SHRxzumNuhx47RWQ.FqeuaDuA2RxUSi8NLD1Eu9aVNCvxijZDHQxchJMDJm0&qid=1772398542&sr=8-1 Something's Not Right: Decoding the Hidden Tactics of Abuse--and Freeing Yourself from Its Power (Wade Mullens) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1496444701/ref=mes-dp?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=DfllH&content-id=amzn1.sym.476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_p=476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_r=0KK0SC6CEWNJ2Q64975X&pd_rd_wg=GCNhP&pd_rd_r=79c691b9-0dac-456b-bda2-afdb8d5268e5 When Narcissism Comes to Church (Chuck DeGroat) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1514005093/ref=mes-dp?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=zdSwU&content-id=amzn1.sym.476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_p=476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_r=WKKWWGSF6Y2GYRHQ8926&pd_rd_wg=mFZQA&pd_rd_r=a6182de3-e16f-4416-9ef7-e30aa5043369 When the Church Harms God's People (Diane Langberg) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1587436450/ref=mes-dp?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=uVPPK&content-id=amzn1.sym.476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_p=476b1b7d-c787-4147-8a3c-fdef209103a1&pf_rd_r=CAM1FBFN0J7Y0RS0HF0V&pd_rd_wg=KaJ0d&pd_rd_r=a0246e35-7d3f-4feb-89db-facae6fa4a8a FOLLOW THE PODCAST Subscribe to be notified of our new episodes (each Monday).  Want to help us expand the Gospel of the Kingdom?

This week on the Risen & Fallen Podcast, I sit down with Bill Goodwin, founder of Priority Living Consulting Group and author of Priority Living: Seven Pillars to Make Your Life Count.

In this awesome episode, Jess sits down with Dr. Claire Wilcox, psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Rewire Your Food-Addicted Brain, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in modern nutrition: food addiction. Together, they explore what happens in the brain when we crave, overeat, and struggle to stop—and how understanding the neuroscience behind those behaviors can lead to true healing. Dr. Wilcox shares her expertise in addiction psychiatry, the science behind the Yale Food Addiction Scale, and her personal recovery journey from food obsession to food freedom. Jess and Dr. Wilcox also discuss the tension between diet culture and anti-diet movements, offering compassionate, evidence-based strategies for those seeking balance.

THIS EPISODE Rob & Vinnie spend time asking questions about the church like: what are positive and negatives that they see in the church? Do buildings get in the way of the church carrying out its mission? Do we need to GO go to church if we are at home listening to sermons and worship music?
