On this episode of This vs. That, we explore the fascinating topic of good stress versus bad stress with our guest Eliza Huie, Director of Counseling at McLean Bible Church and biblical counseling instructor at Reform Theological Seminary. We discuss how certain types of stress can actually be beneficial for growth and motivation, while other forms can be detrimental to our wellbeing. Drawing from her expertise as a licensed professional counselor and author of "I'm Stressed: A Path from Pressure to Peace," we examine the differences between "eustress" (good stress) and "distress" (bad stress). We also explore how stress can strengthen us physically, mentally, and spiritually, while uncovering practical ways to manage and understand the role of stress in our daily lives.

In each episode, we invite two of our counselors at Anchored Virtual into a deep dive conversation on a counseling topic. Once a month, we'll release episodes on issues such as addictions, trauma, church hurt, infertility, forgiveness, abuse, and more. You'll get to hear expert counselors discuss the nuances and challenges of these issues and ultimately apply the hope of the gospel in practical and meaningful ways.

Join Steve Sonderman for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Crawford Loritts as they discuss the profound impact of mentoring and why it's essential for every man. Dr. Loritts challenges men to remove boundaries and barriers, step into the role of hope-givers, and invest in the next generation of leaders. Mentorship isn't about having all the answers—it's about being available, accessible, and intentional. As older men, we have the opportunity to guide younger ones by sharing our failures, praying with them, and providing the encouragement they need to grow. True leadership is about taking your God-given equity and using it to empower those around you. They also explore the concept of finishing well—how living well each day leads to a strong finish. Decision precedes development, and responding to God in the moment shapes the legacy we leave behind. This conversation will equip and encourage you in the ministry God has called you to, helping you embrace mentorship as a calling and a privilege.

***Please note: there was a technical difficulty that caused us to miss the first ~2 minutes of Don's introduction. We apologize for the error!QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“I have come to one conclusion: All that I am, all that I aspire to be, all that I was before, is by the grace of God.”~Leymah Gbowee, Liberian peace activist, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and 2016 Dartmouth Commencement Speaker “...we need to fall, and we need to be aware of it; for if we did not fall, we should not know how weak and wretched we are of ourselves, nor should we know our Maker's marvelous love so fully...” “...deeds are done which appear so evil to us and people suffer such terrible evils that it does not seem as though any good will ever come of them; and we consider this, sorrowing and grieving over it so that we cannot find peace in the blessed contemplation of God as we should do; and this is why: our reasoning powers are so blind now, so humble and so simple, that we cannot know the high, marvelous wisdom, the might and the goodness of the Holy Trinity. And this is what he means where he says, ‘You shall see for yourself that all manner of things shall be well', as if he said, ‘Pay attention to this now, faithfully and confidently, and at the end of time you will truly see it in the fullness of joy.'”~Julian of Norwich (c.1343-after 1416), English anchoress and writer “Religion is, as it were, the calm bottom of the sea at its deepest point, which remains calm however high the waves on the surface may be.”~Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), Austrian-born philosopher “Meek. Humble. Gentle. Jesus is not trigger-happy. Not harsh, reactionary, easily exasperated. He is the most understanding person in the universe. The posture most natural to him is not a pointed finger but open arms … You don't need to unburden or collect yourself and then come to Jesus. Your very burden is what qualifies you to come.”~Dane Ortlund in Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers “Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God."~Alexander MacLaren (1826-1910), Scottish Baptist minister SERMON PASSAGEPsalm 57 (ESV)To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave. 1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,  for in you my soul takes refuge;  in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,  till the storms of destruction pass by.2 I cry out to God Most High,  to God who fulfills his purpose for me.3 He will send from heaven and save me;  he will put to shame him who tramples on me.   Selah  God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! 4 My soul is in the midst of lions;  I lie down amid fiery beasts—  the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows,  whose tongues are sharp swords. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!  Let your glory be over all the earth! 6 They set a net for my steps;  my soul was bowed down.  They dug a pit in my way,  but they have fallen into it themselves.    Selah7 My heart is steadfast, O God,  my heart is steadfast!  I will sing and make melody!8 Awake, my glory!  Awake, O harp and lyre!  I will awake the dawn!9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;  I will sing praises to you among the nations.10 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,  your faithfulness to the clouds. 11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!   Let your glory be over all the earth!

In this episode we interview Mike McKinley. As we discuss his book, Friendship with God, we touch on the Puritans– and the common myths that surround them, the heart of the gospel, and the good news that we can have friendship with God. We talk about the Lord's Supper, the gift of being adopted by God, how to better understand the Holy Spirit, and the importance of the local church in the life of a Christian. *Our apologies for the sound quality. Unfortunately we experienced a number of technical issues in this interview. Thankfully Mike McKinley was patient, and despite these hiccups he nonetheless communicated encouraging, wonderful thoughts throughout the interview.

Packer

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!”~Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855), novelist and poet in Jane Eyre “Meek. Humble. Gentle. Jesus is not trigger-happy. Not harsh, reactionary, easily exasperated. He is the most understanding person in the universe. The posture most natural to him is not a pointed finger but open arms … You don't need to unburden or collect yourself and then come to Jesus. Your very burden is what qualifies you to come.” “When you come to Christ for mercy and love and help in your anguish and perplexity and sinfulness, you are going with the flow of his own deepest wishes, not against them.”~Dane Ortlund in Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers “Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.”~Irving Berlin (1888-1989), famed songwriter “People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”~John C. Maxwell, author and speaker “As we come to grips with our own selfishness and stupidity, we make friends with the impostor and accept that we are impoverished and broken and realize that, if we were not, we would be God. The art of gentleness toward ourselves leads to being gentle with others – and is a natural prerequisite for our presence to God in prayer.”~Brennan Manning (1934-2013), author and clergy “The power of just mercy is that it belongs to the undeserving. It's when mercy is least expected that it's most potent.”~Bryan Stevenson, lawyer, activist, and professor at NYU School of LawSERMON PASSAGEselected passagesGalatians 5 (ESV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Proverbs 15 (NIV) 1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. Ephesians 4 (ESV) 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Philippians 2 (NIV) 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God,  did not consider equality with God  something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing  by taking the very nature of a servant,  being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man,  he humbled himself        by becoming obedient to death—  even death on a cross!Matthew 12 (ESV)[said of Jesus, as quoted from Isaiah 43:1-3]18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,  my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.  I will put my Spirit upon him,  and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.19 He will not quarrel or cry aloud,  nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets;20 a bruised reed he will not break,  and a smoldering wick he will not quench,  until he brings justice to victory;21 and in his name the Gentiles will hope.” Matthew 11 (ESV) [Jesus speaking] 28 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Guest: Cory Butler, Lead Students Minister, Citizens Church   Numbers 1-5 are on last week's episode with Cory, this week we are looking at numbers 6-10.   6. Long obedience in the same direction Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society by Eugene Peterson Hebrews 12:10-11 - For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.   7. Awareness of how culture disciples (trains/teaches/shapes) us Reminder to connect yourself first to Christ, then children to your parents - not their peers - if children are connected primarily to their peers, their growth and development will be limited and lack creativity   8. Feelings are good servants and terrible kings (so many boys don't know how to feel) One of the good things that has been brought forth from the COVID crisis was the increase in people seeking professional licensed counseling - remember that as Christians, we should be seeking BIBLICAL counseling! The Place We Find Ourselves, a podcast from Adam Young, LCSW, MDiv. Proverbs 12:15 - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.   9. Hard things aren't necessarily bad things (some of the best things require the most work) Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations by Alex and Brett Harris Serious Times: Making Your Life Matter in an Urgent Day by James Emery White The only thing that grows without work is weeds. If you want to cultivate a garden, it will take effort. Catching Foxes: A Gospel-Guided Journey to Marriage by John Henderson   10. You can be humble and strong (Biblical paradox, concept of “meekness”) Humility: The Journey Towards Holiness by Andrew Murray From Humility: No tree can grow except on the root from which it sprang - if your root is humility, then humility will be the fruit of your life. The chief mark of counterfeit holiness is its lack of humility. Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane Ortlund   10(a) - put Biblical definitions on things - don't look with the world's eyes, but through the Word of God - this is the development of a “Biblical worldview.”   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership Podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Dan Iten are joined by Vance Pitman, President of the Send Network, and former pastor of Hope Church in Las Vegas. This episode explores the theme of leadership in the context of church planting and ministry. Pitman shares his insights and experiences, emphasizing the importance of succession and focusing on the kingdom of God rather than personal success. He also discusses his journey as a church planter in Las Vegas and the unique challenges and opportunities he has faced in ministering to a non-Christian population. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 79 “Jesus focused more on succession than He did on success. And I think that's an issue in the church and American leadership in America. Today, we focus on success without even thinking about succession. Jesus was just the opposite. If you look at His public ministry, it was not even successful. 120 people after three and a half years wouldn't get him any book deal or invitation to speak at any conference, but that 120 became 120,000 because He focused on succession knowing it was bigger than just His life. I think that's something we got to get focused towards.” – Vance Pitman “The church is just a temporary tool established by Jesus for the expansion of the kingdom. The real end game is the kingdom of God around the throne of Jesus for every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.” – Vance Pitman “The primary call on my life is not to do something for Jesus, the primary call of my life is to be with Jesus. And everything Jesus wants to do through my life, He'll do out of the overflow of what He's doing in my life.” – Vance Pitman “The greatest thing you bring to your role as a leader is your personal intimate relationship with Jesus because everything that He wants to do through you as a leader, He'll do in you. The key to learning about being a leader is before I can be a leader, I must be a devoted follower. The key to my success as a leader is the devotion that I pursue Christ with as a devoted follower. And as a follower of Jesus, He then begins to lead through us in ways that we would never dream possible.” – Vance Pitman “As much as you schedule appointments, as much as you schedule time with the family as much as you schedule time to sleep at night, you have to build rest and whitespace or margin into your calendar.” – Vance Pitman “We will never, never grow healthy churches with unhealthy leaders.” – Lance Witt “We have neglected the fact that a pastor's greatest leadership tool is a healthy soul.” – Lance Witt “I think one of the reasons that the church in North America is struggling today is because we have spiritually unhealthy leadership. When you look at the kingdom of God, globally, there are only two continents in the world where Christianity is declining. One of them is North America, and North America has the most resources, the most buildings, the most budget, the most staff the most degrees, and the most education the most. Why are we not seeing the kingdom expand? I think it's directly related to the spiritual health of those who are leading.” – Vance Pitman “Starting a church service is not planting a church. Biblical missiology is that planting a church starts with the city. You engage that city with the gospel, you make disciples, and churches are born as a byproduct.” – Vance Pitman “Leadership is lonely, but it cannot be done alone. Leadership demands that we bring other people to the table to lead alongside us.” – Vance Pitman “You cannot lead what you do not live long term. You can fake it in the short run. Authenticity in leadership is important and if you're not living it, you won't be able to lead it over the long haul. – Vance Pitman RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Replenish: Leading from a Healthy Soul by Lance Witt Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane Ortlund The Stressless Life: Experiencing the Unshakable Presence...

What is sanctification? In this episode, Jeff Norris and Laura Story Elvington sit down with Dane Ortlund, a pastor and author, and discuss questions around the big word 'sanctification' and how we can understand it and apply it to our everyday faith. Many of us approach sanctification from a misconception of 'How do I change myself?' instead of 'How does God change me?' Be encouraged as you listen to how sanctification makes you more into the person God created you to be. Questions Covered in This Episode: • What are some of the greatest misconceptions about sanctification? • Where do faith and sanctification intersect? How about grace and sanctification? Doesn't God love us just the way we are? • Are there ways the church is missing the mark in over-emphasizing or under-emphasizing sanctification? Scripture References: • Ephesians 4 & 5 • 2 Corinthians 3:18 • 1 John 1:7 Related Resources: • Visit

For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?"

The season of Advent is an invitation--an opportunity to slow down and take notice, to take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus' coming, a season to reflect on the character of the One who came. In this podcast, Erin Warren explains how Jesus is the Way and the Way Maker, teaching through Hebrews 10:19-23. He is the One who is the Way the restored relationship with our God, but He is also the One who made the way—dying on our behalf, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice to end all sacrifices. And now, we have hope, and we get to draw near to God… with confidence. Erin also sets up the coming week's focus on Jesus is the Truth and the Truth Teller.

We go further down the list of our favorite hymns in this second of a five part series on sacred music. We give a huge thanks and shout out to Aaron Shows, James's brother-in-law, who played segments of all of the hymns we discuss on organ or piano. Please do not kill Andrew for mispronouncing your name today! We featured Aaron's music on the episode as we introduced each one. Aaron is a film-composer and also serves as the organist for First United Methodist Church of Pasadena, CA. Listen in to hear what hymns we picked (we give the writing credits on the episode audio). Without giving too many spoilers, here are some show notes: James referred to the book Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane Ortlund when he was discussing the theology of his hymn. A link to the book: https://www.crossway.org/books/gentle-and-lowly-hcj/ Charlie mentioned to hymn 604 out of Lutheran Service Book as a superior version of a hymn (that isn't on any of our lists but it disliked by two of our hosts). He also mentioned hymn 539 out of the same hymnal as his favorite tune setting to his hymn that he discusses. Here is a link to the German hymn writer Andrew referred to who lived during the 30 Years War: https://hymnary.org/person/Rist_Johann Charlie mentioned the hymn scholar Jon Vieker out of Concordia Seminary who has written about Catherine Winkworth (who we mentioned on the show). Andrew was unable to find anything exclusively on Catherine Winkworth from him. However, his faculty bio page is here: https://www.csl.edu/directory/jon-vieker/ *We also recommend you search him on https://scholar.csl.edu/ The French poet and author of Stephen's hymn is Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure. The cover art to this episode is of an early music booklet of that hymn found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placide_Cappeau#/media/File:Partition_originale_de_Minuit_Chr%C3%A9tiens.jpg

Last week we mentioned our daughters going to prom together. We talked about how their relationship has developed and some of the different seasons they have walked through. We got a lot of questions from people asking, how did our daughters developed a relationship to where they call each other their best friends, when before it wasn't always like that.  So, we asked Kathrynne and Kaitlynn for their insights and input on their relationship and both Jesse and I also add some of our thoughts and things from our perspective on this. Kathrynne has three points we go over: don't force it, learning emotional language, and time. A few thoughts I have had is loving your kids right where they are at. Our kids pick up so much from us, not just our words but our actions and emotions. Talking positively to them, about them to each other, and about them to others. Time has helped them get a different perceptive, allowing them to walk through different seasons and just a part of growing up and being a teenager.  We can give our kids a lot of things, guiding and helping but ultimately, they have to make their own choices and actions. I also give a book update and share the fun thing that is saving our lives this week, we are playing Wordle. In This Episode [00:34] - Welcome to another episode of The Crystal Paine Show. [01:45] – I asked for the girls input on being together and being friends. [02:22] – I have a reading update to share with you. [05:35] – What's saving our life this week? This week is something fun.  [09:35] - Today's sponsor is Codespark Academy [11:38] – How did our daughters, Kathrynne and Kaitlynn, become best friends? [12:08] – Kathrynne gives us three points stating they are very instrumental regarding her relationship with her sister. [12:24] – Kathrynne's first point: don't force it. [14:44] – Kathrynne's second point: learning emotional language. [17:29] – When the girls started to learn, “when you did that, it made me feel like this”, it changed the barriers of their relationship. [21:21] – Jesse brings the aspect that may encourage your kids to be friends, if they see that in your marriage. [21:55] – Kathrynne's third point: giving it time. [25:57] – Fostering a sense of family togetherness. [28:25] – It is not your responsibility to make your kids be friends.

When we come back to Jesus again and again with our pain, confusion and sin, it's hard to imagine what His reaction or response might be.

We promise we won't have too many spoilers, but we unpack some of the concepts brought up by the book, and examine some takeaways René Minder, Austin Miesner and Kasey Orr got from the book.

On this episode, you'll hear from Lexie Polzin. She shares  her very transparent story about her recent experience with postpartum depression after the birth of her third child. This episode mentions postpartum depression, as well as intrusive and suicidal thoughts. If hearing about these topics may be distressing to you, you may want to save this episode to listen to at a later date. Also, we don't recommend this episode for little ears. This conversation was rich with real-life topics but also a message of hope. Lexie shares how she has let the Good Shepherd lead her through what felt like the valley of death, just like Psalm 23 says. Recommended Resources from this episode:Get Out of Your Head Get Out of Your Head Study Guide The Bible Recap Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers This Isn't What I Expected: Overcoming Postpartum Depression Watershed CounselingBurt's Bees Hydrating Lip OilThanks for listening to this episode of The 5:17 LIFE Podcast.
