“I can't change what has happened to me…but I can use it to help somebody else.” Today's guest, Ike Miller, is an author and pastor who shares his experience of the impacts of growing up with a parent with an addiction to alcohol. As he unpacks his story, we discover the beauty of God's redemption, using our hurts and struggles for His glory. Now, Ike encourages others through his book, Good Baggage, to discover the same redemption. Quotes Once we share our lives with people…it actually makes people aware of that pain so they can come to our care. I can't change what has happened to me…but I can use it to help somebody else. There's a lot of fear behind the idea of acknowledging I don't have control. There are things that happen to us because of others' sin, but that is not beyond God's ability to do something good with it.

Is there such a thing as Good Baggage? For today's episode Heather sits down with Ike Miller and discusses the baggage that we experience in our past that sometimes impacts our present and future. But, is it possible that seeing our parents' parent, or do marriage, or live out their faith, can reveal to us how we can do things differently? Ike believes that his upbringing is what gave him a passion to pursue a different path for himself. What if some baggage can be good? On today's social toolkit, Heather discusses Elyse Meyers and her apparent social media break after being targeted by Operation Watermelon. Operation Watermelon is where a group of internet users target a single creator and try to take over their platform by commenting en masse on the tragedy impacting the middle east between Israel and Palestine. Elyse Meyers shutdown her Tik Tok with over 7 million followers and many users suspect it is because she was targeted by this peer pressure tactic. Should influencers make statements on cultural issues? Heather discusses her thoughts on this and adds a tool to your social toolkit.

Living with a negative worldview, often born out of childhood trauma or difficult experiences in one's life or workspace, can feel as if you're perpetually shrouded in a bleak fog. The world may seem unkind and unfair, every experience tainted by the shadows of your past. Sometimes it can feel like there's danger around every corner, stealing our joy and our ability to live without constant fear.  Former FBI investigator Jana Monroe worked on some notorious and heinous murder cases, including those of Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. She shares about the demanding challenges of interviewing serial killers and how it affected her mindset and her view of the world–and how prayer and daily reflection with God was a lifesaver in rescuing her from fear. Ike Miller, a pastor and author, shares about the hurdles he faced during his formative years, navigating the difficulties of growing up with an alcoholic father and overcoming unhealthy coping mechanisms.

That, in that context, whatever we went through, in some trauma, it forced us to be someone other than ourselves in order to survive, in order to appease someone else to protect ourselves mentally, emotionally, or physically. And so you just kind of become whoever you think others need you to be because you've lost your sense of self of who you are.” “We need to create more space in the church just for being able to say that not all sin is just strictly about my sheer disobedience to God, but that as a broken human being, I'm acting out of that because of brokenness that was done to me.” “I think that's kind of a bit of it for me is that ability to say, I don't know that I can explain all of why it happened, but where do I want to go from here? What kind of life do I want from here?” Learn more about Bright City Church: https://brightcitychurch.com/ Get Ike's Book Good Baggage: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Baggage-Difficult-Childhood-Relationships/dp/1540902862

In this episode of the Parker's Pensées Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Ike Miller to discuss his book, Seeing By the Light: Illumination in Augustine and Barth's reading of John. We discuss various aspects of the doctrine of divine illumination and then get into Augustine and Barth's individual treatments of the doctrine and then get into Ike's unique addition to the field of study.
