Ted Kuntz shares his journey of personal transformation as he realized the who he wanted to be in the world with his son Joshua and with others. Ted Kuntz is a gifted psychotherapist and the author of the best-selling books, Peace Begins With Me and 8 Weeks to A Better Relationship. Ted has a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and more than 25 years experience as a clinician and a consultant. Much of Ted’s wisdom has come from his personal journey as the father of a child with severe disabilities. Ted's journey with his son Joshua taught him how to make peace with life and to take full advantage of the gifts and opportunities life offers. Below is a summary of some of the highlights from my conversation with Ted. If you find this read interesting you can listen to the conversation in its entirety by clicking play on the player below, or searching ‘Empowering Ability’ on your podcast player, such as, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play. I was fortunate to meet Ted at Partner’s for Planning’s Art of Resilience event this year, where I told Ted that I saw his talk the previous year at the Art of Belonging. It was one of the most inspiring talks that I’ve experienced, and Ted’s stories went straight to my heart. When I met Ted I shared my gratitude for his talk and vulnerability. I also shared that I had purchased his Book “Peace Begins with Me.” But embarrassingly, I hadn’t read it yet. I invited Ted to join me on the podcast, and I promised myself that I was going to read his book. We both kept our promise, and I am happy to bring you insights from Ted Kuntz! Ted’s Journey (so far): I’ve paraphrased Ted’s story from the podcast episode below and quoted some important conversations Ted shares. “It has been a very challenging journey, but very rich journey. It took me while to embrace the rich journey. At 5 months of age my son Joshua was damaged by a vaccine shot and developed an uncontrollable seizing disorder resulting in a neurological injury. This injury resulted in 24-hour care for the rest of his life and significant disabilities. In February 2017, Joshua passed away.” Josh transformed Ted as a father and human being in ways that Ted could have never imagined. I ask Ted on the podcast, “Are there moments or experiences of transformation that you can share with us?” Ted shares that there are two experiences that he has identified as the most transformative, the first was when Ted went to see a Physic: Ted asked the physic: “Will my son live?” Physic: “Have no fear the son will outlive the father.” Ted: “If my son will live, what will he be when he grows up?” Physic “Your son will be what he already is, and that is a teacher.” Ted didn’t understand how his son would be a teacher at first, but the words sat with him. What he came to realize is that Joshua was here to teach him about being a human being. He was here to teach acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and working through human challenges. The second transformative experience that Ted shares on the podcast is his daily ritual with Joshua. When Ted pulled into the driveway after work he would see Joshua at the window saying, “Hi Dad”. When Joshua wasn’t at the window to greet Ted, Ted knew that Joshua wasn’t having a good day. On this day, Ted pulled into the driveway and he stood there looking at his son in joy, and a voice inside of Ted's head asked him this question, “When your son looks through the glass at you what does he see?” Ted reflected on this powerful question, and Ted found the truth; Joshua sees a father who is angry, afraid, and a father who is rejecting his son. Ted committed that day to make peace with his situation, to accept it, to claim his joy, and to fall in love with the son he had. That was the day Ted’s life began to change. Insights: Eric shares, “For us to have these transformations we need to embrace these moments and let ourselves bring these questions and experiences into our consciousness to find our truth.” Ted shares, “The transformation came out of an intense amount of suffering. Suffering can be one of the gateways to wisdom.” I ask, “How do you shift out of suffering state to a state of joy?” Ted replies, “Take responsibility for emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual state of being. We often give away our power – something else is responsible for our happiness, peace and joy. [For example,] I’ll be happy when Josh stops seizing. If I hold the story that my happiness is dependent on Joshua’s seizing stopping, then I couldn’t be happy. We need to claim ownership of our way of being in the world. I make me happy, I make me sad, I make me angry. Why would I make myself angry? It doesn’t serve me and the rest of humanity by staying in that [angry] state for a long period of time. I can release it any point.” “I believe when we are operating at our highest potential as human beings that we are living life as creative beings. That we are creating the next moment. Unfortunately, I spent the first 45 years of my life as a reactive being.” The Hidden Gifts of Disability Ted Shares, “It [disability] challenges us in a way that we are forced to respond. At first it moved me to those darker places, but I’ve since learned there is a healing that comes about when there is an acceptance. I’ve chosen to live in peace and joy, because my son deserved that. It changed me as a father, a husband, a brother, a son. It made me a better person.” Ted shares the story of Joshua’s grade 7 teacher: Paraphrasing from the podcast Ted shares, “When Joshua was entering grade 7 there were 2 male teachers, who were athletes, selecting students for classes for the upcoming year. They decided to do a coin toss for who would pick first. The teacher who won the coin toss looked at the list of students and selected Joshua as the first pick. The other teacher asked, ‘Why Josh? He requires a wheel chair, has an uncontrolled seizure disorder, he has many other needs.’ The other teacher replies that he notices how the kids excitedly greeted Joshua in the morning, how they gently took off his coat, how the other kids altered the rules of the game so Joshua could play at recess, how the children where there laying on the mat with Joshua as he recovers from seizure. If Joshua is in my class it will make it a kinder and gentler place for everyone.” This teacher helped Ted see Josh’s gifts. Ted was now able to look at Josh with a different set of eyes. Ted shares, “Is the glass half full or half empty? It is both. Do I look at the full parts, or do I look at the empty parts? We have been socialized to believe that success looks a particular way. What people like Sarah [my sister] and Joshua do is that they remind us that there are other qualities to aspire to. There are things that I wasn’t going to learn from a book, I needed to be in relationship with a person more vulnerable that myself. This is a challenging journey. Let’s not just look at the parts that are difficult, lets also look at the gifts that can be realized out of this journey. Let’s not lose that opportunity to experience some significant transformation as a result of this life experience.” To embrace this mindset that everybody is a gift to us, Ted plays a game with himself. He asks himself, ‘Who is going to show up today?’, and ‘What gift do they have for me?’, ‘What gift do I have for them?’. It forces him to appreciate everyone he interacts with. In this episode, Ted also shares the native story of two wolves - the negative and positive wolves fighting our hearts, a tool to find more joy in our lives, and we discuss David Hawkings map of consciousness. Listen to the podcast for more on this! Ted leaves us with this message to consider: “Your way of being is actually more important than what you do. We would be better off if we made 'To Be:' lists every day, rather than 'To Do:' lists. Be gentle and kind to ourselves. We are on a journey of development. One of the things that I believe is that we don’t make mistakes, we actually make the best decision available to us at that moment with the information, skills, and knowledge that we have.” I am grateful for the stories, insights and rich conversation Ted gave us.

In the message "The Wall Will Fall", Minister Brian Hall looks at the story of Joshua and Jericho. In life today, we face many strong fortresses in our lives. They could be physical, financial or even spiritual having large walls that seem insurmountable. But like Joshua, we need to be able to hear from God. If we have a relationship with Him, then we know His voice. If Joshua didn't know The Lord, then he would not have been able to hear the specific instructions. God has already won the battle for us. All we need to do is listen to Him and the victory will be on it's way!
If Joshua demonstrated the correct response to learning the lessons of the Exodus and the Torah given by God, then the period of the judges is just the opposite. These people were ignorant of what God had done (like us), ignorant of His law (like us), and fell into a mood of complacency that became their downfall (like us). The period of the Judges is a time from which we must learn, or prepare to face the same kind of temptations and alienation from God they did.
If Joshua can make a bad alliance, it can happen to us, too. But we serve a God that can make our mistake into a miracle and our mess into a message.

The author of Hebrews states, "For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on." The list we read in Joshua 12:7-24 is a rather large list. It seems that the whole land is secured. If Joshua secures the land then what is lacking? Or does this list […] The post Israel's Conquest under Joshua (Joshua 13:7-24) appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.
In Joshua 9, we find Joshua making a hasty treaty with the Gibeonites based upon what he assumed to be true about them; that they were from a far off land and of no threat. After the treaty had been made, however, Joshua finds that they are in fact their neigbors. If Joshua had sought the Lord's counsel, he would have found the truth.
What are some of your common fears?One of mine? Heights! Or maybe is it really getting hurt? I don’t know, maybe both. It seems to get weirder as I get older and the consequences of what that fear come to life could actually mean. I sit down on tall edges I have to make my way down instead of just jumping, I move my body to the center of the car when we’re driving precariously close to the edge of a mountain (as if that makes any difference at all).Fears come in all shapes and sizes and although there are many things we could fear in this life, the fears we want to talk about today are the ones that hold us back from things God might be calling us to do. It could be anything from restoring a relationship, to writing that book, to starting that business, what is holding you back?Just like me, we think leaning into the middle of the car will help us be safe, but it’s just an illusion, it makes us feel better in the moment but it’s not helping at all. We do have life experience that has hurt us and we, as human beings, generally want to avoid anything that could cause us pain or make us feel uncomfortable. We like safe and predictable. We might be bored, stuck, and even frustrated as we see others jump towards their thing but we aren’t so sure we are willing to give up “safe” for the risk.The Lord knows how hard it is to be courageous. When Joshua takes over for Moses and God puts him in charge of leading the Israelites into the promise land He tells him over and over again to be strong and courageous, to not be frightened. If Joshua simply spent too much time comparing himself to Moses or recounting how the people responded the last time he came back and told them they should take the land, well he wouldn’t have gotten very far.Let’s not try and excuse ourselves from what it is God is calling us to by saying things that sound super spiritual to ourselves like we’re trying to remain humble or waiting on God. While both those things are good and important, there also comes a time to get out there and start moving toward the thing that God is calling you to. That might not mean stepping on a stage, but it might mean talking to that neighbor, pursuing reconciliation, or daring to believe that the dream you see in your heart, might actually be from God. We don’t love and serve our dreams, but what if they really are God and we are so scared we might be wrong and people will point that out to us, that we never try? We will be in blatant disobedience to God Almighty.In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and love and of a sound mind.”So what if you fail? What then? What if you get it wrong and spend time building something or working towards something that wasn’t “the thing”. When our hearts are surrendered to God (and we know when they are or not) we know that He will work all those things for His glory. The big thing is to remember this isn’t about us looking good, being fabulous, famous or being right about our own call, this is all about a faith that say, “I”m not sure but He is worthy of trying.”Go and build.SHOW NOTEShttps://www.ashleymorganjackson.com/podcast/2019/9/5/podcast-ep6-what-are-the-fears-that-hold-you-backCALLED TO BUILD FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/calledtobuildcommunity/CALLED TO BUILD INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/calledtobuild/FREE "WHAT AM I CALLED TO?"
