In this episode, Ken continues to unpack the wisdom of Edwin Friedman in his book "A Failure of Nerve." This week he shared Friedman's list of ten characteristics of less-mature and troublesome people – who, Ken notes, always expect others to adapt to them rather than the other way around. Just to share a couple here, one of these characteristics is that these people "tend to idolize their leaders until their unrealistic expectations fail, then they are quick to attack and crucify those they once idolized." They also "have a total lack of ability to tolerate differences or dissent. All things are black/white, either/or, right/wrong." While sharing these tremendously insightful observations, Ken challenged the group to ask ourselves whether we might have a tendency toward any of these behaviors and whether we could be behaving in a way that is reacting out of anxiety.This episode was recorded on July 17th, 2026.

In this episode Ken shares wisdom about the consequences of a lack of self-regulation from Edwin Friedman and his book "A Failure of Nerve." Friedman writes about the impact not only on individual relationships but also on organizations, stating that organizations lacking self-regulation will be "perpetually invading the space of their neighbors." He says that organisms like this "cannot learn from their experiences," so they cannot be reasoned with. Ken shares wisdom about how to engage with people who can't self-regulate and explains why it is so important for leaders to prioritize their own growth and maturity.This episode was recorded on July 10th, 2026.

In this episode of the award-winning Caregiver SOS On Air podcast, hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial sit down with board-certified geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Weiss to tackle one of the most challenging chapters in caregiving: identifying and managing early-onset dementia.

In this episode of the award-winning Caregiver SOS On Air podcast, hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial sit down with board-certified geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Weiss to tackle one of the most challenging chapters in caregiving: identifying and managing early-onset dementia. Dr. Weiss shares his unique perspective—shaped by both 44 years of psychiatric practice and his own deeply personal family history with Alzheimer’s disease. Together, the panel explores how early-onset conditions alter family dynamics, why behavior shifts are often misdiagnosed, and how modern medicine is finally shifting from a state of demoralization to a new era of hope. Plus, stick around until the end of the episode as Dr. Weiss introduces a brief but powerful look into another growing health crisis for older adults: the physical toll of loneliness. Key Topics Covered Understanding Early-Onset & Rare Dementias: Dr. Weiss breaks down why early-onset dementia (occurring in a person's 40s or 50s) is uniquely difficult for families. He highlights frontotemporal dementia, explaining how it presents not with memory loss, but with dramatic, sudden behavioral changes. The Evolution of Diagnosis: Discover how the medical field has evolved from invasive brain biopsies and spinal taps to modern, highly specific blood-based biomarkers that can identify Alzheimer’s disease early. "When the Disease Talks": Carol and Dr. Weiss discuss the vital mindset shift caregivers must make: recognizing that aggressive or uncharacteristic behaviors are a physical symptom of a neurodegenerative illness, not intentional actions. The Medical Toll of Loneliness: In a striking closing segment, the discussion turns to the isolation epidemic, highlighting research that equates the physical impact of chronic loneliness to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Key Takeaways for Caregivers Take Your Own Pulse First: Borrowing a medical aphorism, Dr. Weiss reminds caregivers that the first rule of managing an emotional or tense situation with a loved one is to keep calm and manage your own emotions first. Pivot to Positive Prompts: When met with resistance (such as a loved one refusing a bath or medication), avoid sharp words. Instead, lead with a compliment, use gentle physical prompts, or lean into music and aromatherapy. Accept the Present Reality: One of the hardest parts of caregiving is letting go of past expectations and accepting your loved one exactly as they are right now, rather than fighting the reality of the disease. Lean on Community Support: Don't be a "Lone Ranger." Lean on organizations like the Alzheimer's Association to find support groups where you can brainstorm solutions with peers who truly understand the journey. About Dr. Weiss Dr Thomas Weiss is a geriatric psychiatrist in solo private practice. He is a graduate of the USAF Academy, UTHSCSA Medical School and completed a fellowship in consultation psychiatry at MGH/Harvard. He is board-certified in four specialties: adult, geriatric, addiction, and consultation psychiatry. Hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial, and their guests talk about Caregiving and how to best cope with the stresses associated with it.

In this episode Ken provides a framework of the components of emotional maturity, starting by elucidating what we mean by "self" to help the group and listeners better understand the concept of self-differentiation. As we grow in our emotional maturity, the self we "own" will become more and more differentiated while also staying connected to other "selves." Ken emphasizes that taking responsibility for self is the foundation of emotional maturity and makes the case (with regard to the call in the gospels to deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus) that "we can't deny our self until we own our self and love our self." Listen as Ken unpacks all of this and more.This episode was recorded on July 3rd, 2026.

In this episode, Lou Huesmann challenges us to consider who we are becoming and identify where we are in the unfolding narrative of our lives. He reflects on how we know where we are and asks what framework we are using to answer this question -- one we have thoughtfully considered and chosen, or one we have received from our society, our culture, our family, our friends, or our church? Lou shares a Substack post with the group by Kirk Squires called "The Regiven Life: When the Soul Outgrows the Life We Built" that speaks of a journey from the "given" life, to the "gotten" life, to the "regiven" life. Squires states, "This is what I mean by the Regiven Life: not life invented from scratch but life returned through surrender, received again in a truer form. Something more substantive and satisfying than striving ever produced -- life given back by the one who originated it." Lou states that "what seems to be disorienting often can be the pathway to hope." God uses "a season of disorientation to do a fresh work of his transforming grace." According to Squires, "Often within this confusing season is an invitation to be slowly undone, remade, and deepened by the God who is always at work in our transformation." Lou notes that a posture of consenting to God's presence in our daily life helps us receive what God has regiven to us - the life God intended for us all along.This episode was recorded on June 26th, 2026.

King Saul was hunting David, determined to kill the man God had anointed to take his place. Then, in a moment that seemed perfectly arranged for revenge, Saul entered the very cave where David and his men were hiding. David had the opportunity to end his suffering—but instead of killing Saul, he cut off a corner of Saul's robe and spared his life. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to David's restraint as a powerful example of faith in God's justice. David could have justified vengeance, especially after years of running for his life while Saul remained safe in the palace. But David knew a Truth declared throughout Scripture: God is the righteous Judge. Psalm 37 reveals David's hard-won confidence. Though the wicked may appear successful for a season, their triumph is temporary. God sees every injustice, every plot, every cruelty, and every hidden motive—and He will make all things right in His time. When you are mistreated, overlooked, or tempted to envy the temporary success of the wicked, don't lose heart. Keep calm. Look up. Your heavenly Father is sovereign, and the meek will inherit His promised peace. Prayer: Lord, may I be filled with compassion and also find comfort in the promise that evil will receive Your righteous judgment. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity” (Psalm 37:10-11).

In this episode Ken Shuman continues his series on polarization. He shares a quote from Ronald Richardson (Polarization and the Healthier Church) that "a differentiated person is one who can maintain his or her emotional objectivity while others are polarizing." Feelings don't run these people's lives; they don't let emotions dictate their judgment or actions. Ken shares a story about Jesus and his family from scripture that contrasts their polarization with Jesus' self-differentiation. Ken then describes a few of the ways we act when we are polarized, followed by four ways Richardson suggests we can change ourselves into people who are less and less susceptible to polarization.This episode was recorded on June 19th, 2026.

 What happens when two people with complicated pasts — failed marriages, sobriety journeys, and a chance meeting at a 4th of July party — fall in love but decide not to move in together? Claudia and Jonathan join us for a conversation as layered and surprising as the indie film they made together, D(e)AD — a project born from personal heartbreak, an ex-husband who may or may not have faked cancer, and the haunting feeling that the not-so-great people from our past never fully leave us. They'll take you behind the scenes of making a movie with friends and family, funding it through Kickstarter, and then getting it into theaters one screen at a time — from cities across the US to London to Bosnia — all while navigating the soul-crushing gauntlet of festival rejections, fake IMDB credits, and music licensing processes that take six months just to say no. Along the way, Claudia opens up about using her parents and daughter as the raw material of her art, and why storytelling is how she survives. We also get into Jonathan's origins — from writing a fake Nightline to a history with cartoons and the discipline of keeping art beautifully simple — and the question that ties it all together: would you trade your messy, painful, hilarious past for a different one?  And how, bubble wrap can save your sanity. Bio:   Claudia Lonow started her career as an actress, playing Michele Lee's chubby, loud-mouthed teenage daughter on “Knots Landing.”  Favorite episodes include: the one where she has kidney failure and is saved by Donna Mills kidney; the one where she runs away with the town murderer, “Chip,” and drives her mother to drugs; and the one where she almost loses her virginity, but instead winds up donning clown make up and singing “Put On A Happy Face” with her mom. Lonow's next career was waitressing.  She did stand up comedy for a while, working across the country and doing some television.  When she gave her best joke to Sarah Silverman, and Silverman killed with it, a writer was born. Her television-writing career took off when she wrote a semi-autobiographical spec pilot about a former nighttime soap opera television actress who gets sent to rehab, called “Rude Awakening.”  Showtime bought the show, which ran for 55 episodes.  Lonow has been creating and writing television ever since: “Good Girls Don't” for Oxygen; “Accidentally On Purpose” for CBS and “How To Live With Your Parents (For The Rest Of Your Life)” for ABC.  Lonow moved into directing with the award winning shorts, “Bummed” and “Keep Calm and Tampon.” Lonow just completed directing and acting in her first feature, the very indie film, “D(e)AD” written by and starring her daughter, Isabella Roland, her partner Jonathan Schmock and pretty much everyone else in her family. She is currently developing various other TV and film projects, has gotten back to stand up and is threatening to do a solo show. Jonathan Schmock is an actor, director, comedian, show creator, artist and Emmy nominated writer, (group Emmy but still). As a stand-up he was half of the comedy team The Funny Boys with Jim Vallely. As an actor you've seen him in such varied things as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Star Trek Enterprise, The Big Bang Theory, Arrested Development, Shameless, The Simpsons, The Mentalist (the guy who did it) and NCIS Los Angeles (the guy who didn't) among others. As a writer/director he co-created Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and Brotherly Love and worked as an executive producer/writer on Dharma and Greg and Good Girls Don't, Real Time and many more. Most recently he acted in and produced the indie film D(e)AD, which can be seen and purchased online, (hint.)  His editorial cartoons can be seen at jonathanschmock.com. His paintings have appeared in a group show at the L.A. County Museum of Art, (no shit.) He hopes to continue writing about himself in the third person for many years to come.

In this episode Ken continues the conversation on polarization. Intense polarization is the result of low levels of emotional maturity, he says, and according to Ronald Richardson, progress in society depends on people achieving a higher level of self-differentiation [another way of saying "emotional maturity"]." "If we want to change the world," he states, "we have to grow in our self-differentiation." Also, to be clear as to the objective, "we differentiate to change ourselves, not others."We all function as part of emotional systems. Self-differentiation, Ken explains, "is having beliefs and values we have thought through deeply on our own." It's "the ability to function as a separate, autonomous self and to be less impacted by other people in the emotional system."This episode was recorded on June 5th, 2026.

In this episode Ken talks about Henry Cloud's book "Necessary Endings" and specifically Dr. Cloud's assertion that there are three kinds of people - wise, foolish, and evil. Ken shares the characteristics of each type of person according to Dr. Cloud, then transitions to discussing where Dr. Cloud's three kinds of people would be on the scale of emotional maturity. He leaves the group with an invitation to evaluate where they find themselves and to ask themselves, on an ongoing basis, "How can I become increasingly more wise?"This episode was recorded on May 29th, 2026.

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 14Keep Calm and Carry On in a World Gone MadEcclesiastes 9:13–10:20 | King's Chapel Live StreamThe world often feels noisy, chaotic, and completely upside down.Ecclesiastes reminds us that wisdom is better than strength, yet even a little foolishness can cause incredible damage. Under the sun, foolishness seems unavoidable. Corrupt leadership rises. Empty words spread quickly. People chase satisfaction in all the wrong places. And sometimes it feels like the world has lost its mind.So how are we supposed to live faithfully in a world like this?In this message, we are reminded to keep calm and carry on with a wise heart. Scripture calls us to avoid the path of foolishness and to remain steady even when life around us feels unstable.Most importantly, Ecclesiastes points us toward hope. Our confidence is not in human wisdom, political power, or our own efforts. Our hope is in Christ, our true and noble King.Jesus has already won the battle, and one day He will return to make all things right. Until then, we keep walking by faith, trusting that real satisfaction and lasting peace are found in Him alone.If you are tired of the chaos, discouraged by the world around you, or searching for steady ground to stand on, this message is a reminder to stay faithful, stay wise, and keep your eyes on the coming King.There was an internet outage during our live stream, so a few minutes of the sermon may be missing from the recording.Connect with King's Chapel - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 10 sermon, biblical wisdom for difficult times, Christian hope sermon, trusting God in chaos, keep calm and carry on sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, wisdom vs foolishness Bible, return of Christ sermon

In this episode, Lou Huesmann unpacks a Substack post by Richard Beck about the impact of mattering in mental well-being. He talks about two types of mattering - relational and existential, or cosmic. Lou shares from the post that existential mattering is "the more robust predictor of mental health....We need our value to be grounded in something more durable and consistent than the current status of my social, familial, and romantic life. Our worthiness cannot be wholly in the hands of others."Lou shares that Beck goes on to explain that there is an intimate connection between relational and existential mattering: "For many of us, we can only come to believe in our existential significance by experiencing being significant to others. We mediate mattering to others." By extension, we can live in such a way - love others in such a way - as to make the love of God believable! All this lines up with the purpose and endgame of Faithwalking - we grow in our emotional maturity so we can promote wholeness and flourishing (shalom) in the relationships and world around us. We show people they matter by loving them well, and through this they discover they matter to God and that God is for them and truly loves them. This is an incredible calling, and Faithwalking helps equip us to live it out! This episode was recorded on May 22nd, 2026.

AI isn't just another marketing tool—it's the operating system of modern marketing. In 2026, the businesses that win aren't the ones “using AI”—they're the ones building on it. From answer engines to agentic AI and lightning-fast speed-to-lead, this episode shows you what's changed, what matters now, and how to take action—without getting lost in the hype.

In the latest episode in our series on polarization, Ken returns to the topic of triangling. "So when people get anxious," he says, "they move towards someone else...in hopes that the other person will be their advocate and will join their team and will think what they think, believe what they believe, and be against whatever they're against." This is how triangulationunfolds. But ultimately triangles destroy relational health, he explains. They lead to polarization — where somebody's left out or ostracized or they become the enemy. Ken takes the group to several scripture passages in which Jesus responds to relational triangles with clear boundaries, and he finishes by offering practical ideas for managingtriangulation in our lives. The challenge and goal as we grow in emotional maturity is this, he states: “Can I manage my anxiety in healthy ways within myself rather than going outside myself to manage my anxiety?"This episode was recorded on May 15th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken talked about the role of triangling in the polarization process. He explained the concept of triangles in the context of relationships and how we can get sucked into them, becoming part of the polarization problem. Ken shared examples of triangling in scripture and showed how Jesus refused to be sucked into triangles. Ken then explained how to respond when others attempt to pull us into a triangle, out of their own anxiety. He concluded by asking the group, "How will we be different?" and emphasizing, "It takes work."This episode was recorded on May 8th, 2026.

An outbreak of a rat-borne virus on a cruise ship triggers mass anxiety as phrases like "self-isolation" and "test and trace" re-enter the lexicon. Local mayors are growing increasingly frustrated with The Hague's reluctance to condemn violent protests outside refugee centres. Environmental campaigners are distraught as the man who led a string of successful court cases against major polluters takes Tata Steel's shilling. And in sport, the passportgate saga is resolved while crisis club Vitesse Arnhem are thrown yet another lifeline in their battle to survive.

In this episode, Ken begins by recapping some of what heshared last week and the assignment he gave the group. He said that success is not determined by how others respond to us, but by whether we show up as the person we want to be, based on our best thinking. Emotional maturity is the growing capacity to consistently live in alignment with who we want to be. Rather than reacting out of anxiety to the people in our lives, we live out our guiding principles. For followers of Jesus, this means aligning our lives with the way of Jesus and continuing to show up this way even when others disapprove.Ken explained that in order to do this we must identify the places where we get triggered. We have to grow in awareness of our triggers and learn to be curious about what the threat is for us. From there, we can develop guiding principles—written declarations that define who we want to be and how we want to show up in the world. True success in anxious situations is found not in how others respond, but in living according to these principles. And while putting our guiding principles into words is an important beginning, we have to practice our way into deeper emotional maturity.Ken's assignment last week was to write a guiding principlefor how we want to show up in anxious situations and to come prepared this week with our reflections and stories about attempting to put them into practice (whether successfully or not). Following the recap, Ken opened the floor, and group members shared their experiences, which was instructive for us all.This episode was recorded on May 1st, 2026.

The Blitz myth shattered: courage, crime, and chaos behind stoicismThe familiar story of Britain's Blitz—calm, united, unshaken—is one of the most powerful myths of the Second World War. But in this gripping episode of History Rage, historian Joshua Levine dismantles the “Keep Calm and Carry On” narrative and reveals a far more complex reality.Drawing on firsthand accounts and deep archival research, Joshua shows how the Blitz was not a single story of resilience, but a patchwork of human experiences. Alongside genuine moments of solidarity—strangers comforting each other under falling bombs—there were also spikes in crime, looting, black marketeering, and deeply personal tragedies driven by desperation.We explore how wartime propaganda helped shape the enduring myth of the “Blitz Spirit,” promoting unity while downplaying panic, fear, and social tension. Even the iconic “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster was barely used during the war, despite becoming a defining symbol decades later.Joshua also uncovers how the Blitz became a turning point in British society. Class boundaries blurred, communities were reshaped, and people lived with an intensity that led to dramatic social change—including what he provocatively describes as a “first sexual revolution.” At the same time, the government's response to bombing and homelessness laid early foundations for the modern welfare state.This episode challenges everything you thought you knew about wartime Britain—and replaces myth with nuance, humanity, and truth.

In this episode, Ken continues the conversation aboutpolarization, beginning by stating that we don't have a knowledge problem; we have a reactivity problem. He explains that anxiety is contagious within groups, and that even one person who can regulate their anxiety can positivelyinfluence the entire system. By becoming less reactive, we help bring greater calm to anxious situations in which we find ourselves.Ken then explores practical ways to reduce our own anxious reactivity in tense environments. He concludes by inviting the group to reflect on and articulate a personal guiding principle—one that shapes how they choose to show up in the midst of anxious situations.This episode was recorded on April 24th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken returns to the topic of polarization. He suggests that differences between people are not the core issue; rather, it is the level of anxiety surrounding those differences that fuels polarization. He emphasizes theimportance of recognizing our own reactivity and growing in self-regulation. This begins with asking, How can I be less threatened by differences and less reactive to them?Ken also notes that anxiety is contagious. He invites us to consider how we might limit our exposure to highly anxious voices—such as podcasters and other influencers who inflame moral superiority, resentment, or “us versus them” hostility.He then shares a meditation that deeply resonated with him, and discusses it with the group. It highlights the importance of seeking out others who serve as “cells of resistance” to the cultural narrative of polarization—communities that resist feeding mass anxiety and instead become “outposts of transformation.”Ken closes by again posing the question: How do I become less anxious and less polarizing in these anxious times? He points to Keep Calm as a community committed to this very pursuit—gathering weekly to explore how we can become people who, day by day, discover the Kingdom of God and the beauty of God within and around us, rather than contributing to anxiety and division.This episode was recorded on April 17th, 2026.

Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world's most divisive grape varieties. On the one hand, it's hugely popular for its aromatic charm and upbeat appeal. And yet some people can't stand it, sommeliers actively steer their customers away from it and connoisseurs turn their noses up at, 'the gin and tonic of wine'. But is it possible that this is all just a bit, well, premature? That we're judging a grape variety that is only just starting to show us what its true potential really is? And that Sauvignon Blanc really is a grape variety capable of greatness?!To check the global temperature, we're privileged to be granted an audience with Château Margaux's Philippe Bascaules, South Africa's Duncan Savage, and UK Best Sommelier Maria Boumpa.

In this episode, in light of everything happening in our country and the world right now, Lou Huesmann speaks with the group about the central human emotion of fear. He states that the most repeated command in the Bible is "Do not be afraid." Fear blocks love, and love is a relational term. When we are afraid we tend to engage in self-protection, which causes a loss of connection. Lou asserts that Jesus's death restores our relationship with God, and that God's invitation is to interdependence with him and sharing life with him. Perfect love - God's love - casts out fear. There is security in his love and belonging to him in Christ. The way to respond to our fear, then, is not a technique but rather a relationship - and resting in that relationship.This episode was recorded on April 10th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken Shuman continues the conversation onpolarization by exploring how it functions within systems, and also ties it to a relevant occurrence at the end of Jesus's ministry. He unpacks the dynamics of polarization at length, highlighting our tendency to react to what we are against rather than taking a stand for what we are for.Ken invites listeners to move toward a less reactive posture — one shaped not by others' actions, but by clearly defined guiding principles. He encourages the group to start by identifying a single principle they can anchor themselves in, helping them become less reactive and less polarizing, and more defined by what they believe in and value most.This episode was recorded on April 3rd, 2026.

In this episode, Lou Huesmann explores the role of faith inFaithwalking first by clarifying what faith is—and what it isn't. Faith is a response to a deeper reality beyond what we can see, and living in faith allows us to begin experiencing what we hope for even now. When we act on this deeper reality, we come into contact with its substance.The practices, postures, and dynamics of Faithwalking are ways of living into a reality that is coming, one that God has promised: a world where brokenness is restored and relationships are marked by wholeness. In this world people show up calm, curious, nonanxious, undefensive, and self-differentiated, living with others in ways that reflect Jesus's radical love. Because this future has already been secured by grace, through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, we are invited to begin to live into this reality now in our relationships. "By faith we see God's design for the world to come, and we act on that reality by engaging in the practices that produce shalom in relationships, knowing that this is what the world will befully restored to one day."This episode was recording on March 27th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken returns to Ephesians 4, this time focusing on verses 2b-3, where Paul offers three more indicators of emotional and spiritual maturity. Ken then describes what often gets in the way - polarization - sharing passages from Ronald Richardson's Polarization and the Healthier Church. We live in polarizing times in society, and sadly, it has bled into congregations. Polarization is a result of increased anxiety and reactivity in individuals and in the culture at large. Ken shares how Richardson offers a way to understand the process of polarization and what each of us can do to decrease the intensity of polarization in our world and promote healthy change. One thing is certain: we will never end polarization without growing in our emotional maturity.This episode was recorded on March 20th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken Shuman continues exploring theconnection between emotional and spiritual maturity, focusing on Ephesians 4:1–2. He suggests that Paul's call to “live a life worthy of the calling you have received” offers another way of describing spiritual maturity. Paul then names three virtues that characterize this kind of life—humility, gentleness, and patience—which Ken identifies as key indicators of spiritual maturity.Ken goes on to unpack what each of these virtues looks like in everyday practice, acknowledging how often we are tempted to ignore or avoid them. Yet, they remain choices we can intentionally make. He emphasizes that humility, gentleness, and patience are inherently relational—formed and refined through our interactions with others.This episode was recorded on March 13th, 2026.

In this episode, Ken Shuman continues exploring the connection between emotional and spiritual maturity. He explains that we cannot become fully spiritually mature if we are not also growing in emotional maturity, because we will behave in ways that are inconsistent with the way of Jesus.Ken returns to the question, “What is spiritual maturity?” and revisits Ephesians 4:11–13 to help answer this. He suggests that this passage highlights three key aspects of spiritual maturity and spends a few minutes unpacking these. Spiritually mature people are a) filled with the knowledge of Jesus, b) mature in the teachings of Jesus, and c) fully formed in the likeness of Jesus. Together, these shape them into people who are whole and complete— and equipped to participate in God's mission in the world.Ken also explores the Greek word translated “equipped,”which was used in the New Testament era both to describe mending fishing nets and setting broken bones so they could heal properly. Without emotional maturity, our nets remain torn—we want to serve, but we're fishing with holesin our nets...and we wonder why we are not effective!Ken concludes that emotional maturity and spiritual maturity go hand in hand, and he emphasizes that our growth in maturity is for the purpose of helping others become more whole and complete. We mend our nets so that the entire body of Christ may be built up. Where might your net need mending?This episode was recorded on March 6th, 2026.
