What if your child's meltdowns or shutdowns aren't actually about behavior, but biology? Nicola McAllister, education consultant with 30+ years of experience and mother to an autistic son, reveals the science behind self-regulation that transforms how we support our neurodivergent children. Through her compassionate lens, we discover that what looks like "difficult behavior" is actually a stress response—our children's bodies responding to perceived threats with the only tools they currently have available.The conversation unveils Nicola's brilliant "brain house" model, explaining how our children's brains develop from the bottom up, and how stress can trap them in the "basement" of survival responses. When traditional parenting approaches fail, it's because we're trying to reason with a child who physiologically cannot access their reasoning brain in that moment.Instead, Nicola guides us through her self-regulation framework: Goal, Predict, Plan, Do, Review—a collaborative approach that builds executive function skills through practice rather than punishment. Through vivid real-world examples, including her son's struggle with a Mario t-shirt at a social club, she demonstrates how validating our children's concerns and building plans together creates pathways to success.Perhaps most powerfully, she introduces the "Regulate, Relate, Reason" approach—understanding that our children need to feel calm before they can connect, and only then can they reason. This shifts our parenting from reactive to intentional, what Nicola calls "premiership parenting"—requiring us to be several steps ahead, carefully considering our words and approaches.Whether you're struggling with morning routines, hygiene battles, or emotional outbursts, this episode provides both the understanding and practical tools to build meaningful connections with your child. Listen now and transform your approach to supporting your child's developing nervous system.Nicole Mcallister Website: The Regulated ChildClick here to join our Private SEND Parenting WhatsApp Communitywww.sendparenting.com

Guest: Beverly Coons | Bob Moffitt speaks with Beverly Coons about how she was asked by a local elementary school to tend a garden to engage students. Coons gathered a few of her friends from the church, all of whom are over the age of 70, and got started. Coons says, "I work inside the church, but I work outside the church, too." She adds, "Find a way to be a servant." In partnering with a local elementary school, Coons says, "I'm being a servant, instead of going into the school to proselytize." Coons shares many precious stories of helping children grow in the garden, especially one special needs boy named Tommy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw join the podcast for a deep conversation on spiritual formation, attachment theory, and why so many of us feel stuck in our faith. Drawing from their work in neuroscience, pastoral care, and discipleship, they unpack how our early relational patterns shape the way we experience God and how we can begin to heal. We explore the four “landscapes of the soul” (the pasture, jungle, desert, and war zone), how spiritual practices like silence, Bible study, and joy impact us differently depending on where we're starting from, and how to integrate intimacy and obedience in a holistic journey with God. This episode invites us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model of discipleship and embrace a more embodied, relational, and compassionate approach to following Jesus.Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is cohost of the Embodied Faith podcast, which seeks a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation. He is also an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary (Lisle, Illinois) and a pastor at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Geoff is author of several books, most recently Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Who Wants to Be With Us.Cyd is an author, spiritual director, and pastor. She is also a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach (PCC) focused on embodied practices and building a secure attachment to God. She co-hosts the Embodied Faith podcast, offering a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation. And she is the co-author of Does God Really Like Me?

In contrast to the postmodern beliefs of our age, we look at a biblical perspective of homosexual relationships and gender identity to find that true fulfillment is found in God's design, true purpose is found in holiness, our true identity is found in Jesus, and the sexual ethos of our day has become an open door to the gospel. A Q&A follows the message.
“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” — Proverbs 14:8Today, we're continuing our series on temperaments—how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman is back with us, joined by Rachel Petty, as we take a closer look at the Green temperament and how it influences our approach to money.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Rachel Petty is a valued member of Kathleen Edelman's team and is our Green Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?The concept of temperaments dates back to Hippocrates, whom Galen followed in naming the four temperaments. Each temperament is a wiring we're born with—more like eye color than personality—and it shapes how we communicate, relate, and even handle money. The four types are:Yellow (Sanguine): Extrovert, people-oriented; speaks the language of people and fun.Red (Choleric): Extrovert, task-oriented; speaks the language of power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Introvert, task-oriented; speaks the language of perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): Introvert, people-oriented; speaks the language of calm and harmony.Temperament is your innate wiring. Personality develops through life experiences, but temperament remains relatively consistent.Meet the Green: Introverted and People-OrientedGreens are known as “relationship glue”—calm in chaos, steady in presence, and always people-conscious. They're inward processors, but also deeply relational.They are drawn to budgeting with others and long-term planning. They don't like flashy risks or micromanaging. They prefer round numbers and fewer check-ins.Because Greens crave harmony, they might avoid financial conflict or decisions altogether. But with gentle encouragement and time, they become wise and thoughtful stewards.Strategies That HelpRachel offers practical tools for those who fall under the Green category or know somebody who does:Stay involved. Greens can sometimes disengage easily. It's a discipline to speak up.Name what matters. Clarifying what's most important—whether for a trip or a purchase—helps prioritize.Set deadlines. It gives them the gentle nudge that action is needed.Greens thrive when respected and heard. Their insights are valuable—they just need time and space to process them fully.However, don't pressure a Green. Invite them in gently and clearly. They want to contribute—they just need the right environment.The Innate Needs of a GreenAccording to Kathleen, Greens have four core needs:Harmony – a peaceful environment.Lack of Stress – minimal conflict.Feeling of Worth – appreciation for who they are.Respect – being asked for their input.When these needs are met, Greens are kind, steady, and confident. When ignored, they may retreat or procrastinate.For those in the Green category, take the time to understand what matters to you and lean into your steady nature. And for those in a relationship with a Green—give them time, space, and encouragement. There's more going on than you might see.And remember this: if you are a Green, your calm is a gift. Advocate for yourself—peace sometimes requires courage. Your voice matters.Want More?If you've found this information valuable, make sure you don't miss Kathleen's latest article on temperaments, featured in the newest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

Cara and Rythea dig into how hypocritical they feel as parent advocates when they fall so short on their own commitment to staying loving. They have a good laugh and some deep process about how childhood wounds and unconscious aspects of self show up when they least expect it.They explore specific situations where they have worked hard to be different, but keep getting triggered into the same kind of reactivity. They brainstorm (and unravel) how the umbrella of non-coercive, collaborative philosophy keeps them grounded and afloat, even as they make constant mistakes.Cara comes clean about the bedtime triggers she faces with her daughter and how demoralizing her trauma responses make her feel. Rythea exposes how a mother-wound with her own parent blocks her from allowing her child to individuate gracefully. Together, they ask: how does the parenting approach we use bring us back to our hearts and playful connection with our children through the long haul? What does it mean to model a process for our children when we're the ones unraveling? Key Topics:Feeling powerless or threatened by your child's autonomyParenting from your wounded partsModeling emotional processing in real timeCreating micro-moments of connection, even in ruptureHonoring your child's developing identity and valuesThe tension between belief and behavior in parentingIf you've ever wondered, Am I even doing this right?, this episode is for you.

Arcana Coelestia 7506(2)... the truths and goods of those who are of the church and are condemned, are not from the good of charity, and thus are not spiritual; they indeed flow in through heaven, but are received in cold and thick darkness-in cold because there is no good of charity, in thick darkness because the light by which they receive them is as it were a light of winter, which compared to the light of heaven is thick darkness. Nor are their interiors open to heaven, but to the world, into which they determine the influx of truth and good from heaven; from this also the ideas they have of the good and truth of faith are merely natural, nay, material, which in the spiritual world are represented as ugly, and having no human likeness. But the ideas of the truth and good of faith of those who are of the church and are saved, are spiritual, and although they terminate in material things of the world, yet they are separate from them, for they can be elevated from them. In the spiritual world the ideas of these persons are represented as beautiful, and have the likeness of a man. Such is the difference, however much they may appear alike in the outward form. The allure of the 'serpent' thinking True Christian Religion 48 [17] By the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is signified a man who believes that he lives from himself, and not from God; thus that love and wisdom, charity and faith, that is, good and truth, are in a man as his own, and not God's. He believes this because he thinks and wills, speaks and acts to all appearance as if from himself; and because a man by such a belief persuades himself that he is a god, therefore the serpent said: "God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God (A.V., gods), knowing good and evil" Genesis 3:5. [18] By eating of those trees is signified reception and appropriation: by eating of the tree of life, the reception of eternal life, and by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the reception of eternal death or damnation. By the serpent is meant the devil as to the love of self and the pride of self-intelligence. Conjugial Love 353... And because from birth every man has the inclination to love himself, therefore, lest he perish by reason of the love of self and the pride of self-intelligence, it was provided from creation that that love should be transcribed into the wife, and that, implanted in her from birth, should be the inclination to love the intelligence and wisdom of her man and thus the man himself. Therefore, a wife continually draws her man's pride of self-intelligence to herself, extinguishing it in him and vivifying it in herself, and so turning it into conjugial love, a love which she fills with amenities beyond measure. This is provided by the Lord lest the pride of self-intelligence so greatly infatuate man that he believes himself to be intelligent and wise from himself and not from the Lord, and thus desires to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. He would then believe himself to be like God and even, according to the speech and persuasion of the serpent - the love of self-intelligence - to be God. Therefore, after eating, the man was cast out of paradise and the way to the tree of life was guarded by a cherub. Spiritually understood, paradise is intelligence; eating of the tree of life is understanding and being wise from the Lord, and eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is understanding and being wise from one's self.

This isn't about pretending life is perfect. It's about learning how to create moments of magic, even in the middle of the mess.If we're not intentional about creating joy in our everyday lives, burnout isn't just possible... it's inevitable. Because here's the truth: hustle without harmony leads to resentment, exhaustion, and questioning why you even started in the first place.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something we don't talk about enough: the power of romanticizing your own life.
