The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
In today's powerful episode, we're joined by Christian counselor Jamie Nelson for an honest, grace-filled conversation about mental health, therapy, and faith. Whether you've been considering therapy but feel unsure of where to start, or you're wondering if it's “Christian enough” to seek professional help, this episode will meet you with clarity and encouragement. Jamie shares when it might be time to seek therapy, how to find the right Christian counselor, and why learning to advocate for yourself in the healing process is both courageous and necessary. We talk about what it means to hold grace and truth together, how therapy can support your spiritual growth, and the freedom that comes with letting God meet you in your pain. If you've ever struggled with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or shame around getting help—this conversation is for you. Healing is holy. And taking that next brave step might be the most faith-filled move you make.
Welcome to Day 5 of Passion Week on Behind the Mike! Today, we walk through the powerful and emotional events of Thursday—a day filled with love, betrayal, and surrender.This was the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed His disciples' feet, predicted His betrayal, and instituted the Lord's Supper. It was also the night of His agonizing prayer in Gethsemane, where Jesus showed ultimate surrender to the Father's will.If you've ever wrestled with God's plan or felt the sting of betrayal, this message is for you.
The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
Are you feeling weary, discouraged, or even tempted to give up on the dream God has placed inside of you? You're not alone. The journey to becoming all that God has called you to be isn't always easy—but quitting is not an option. In this episode of The Journey to Becoming, we're diving into why it's so important to keep pushing forward, even when things feel hard and how the right environment can make all the difference in your growth. God has promised us an abundant life, but that doesn't mean it comes without effort. Sometimes, we need to shift our mindset, surround ourselves with the right people, and trust that God is working, even when we can't see it. In this episode, I'll be sharing: ✨ The danger of quitting too soon and how to push past the urge to give up
In today's episode, Lauren Atkinson talked with Men's Community Director Kyle Aaron about Deuteronomy 21-23. They answer the questions, "How do we make sense of the laws about marrying female captives? Why would God command rebellious adulterers to be put to death?" Scriptures Referenced: John 8; Galatians 3:13
The love that we are called to as moms is not easy. I was reminded of this as I spent most of the past month sick and yet still had three kiddos to care for. The temptation to whine and complain and get frustrated was real! In the middle of it, the Lord drew me to the example he set before us of his servant love. And he showed me that not only am I called to that towards my kids, but that is how he treats me. As we are pouring of ourselves onto our children, Christ is pouring of himself unto us.

It's a new year! And it's a good time to get a refreshed perspectve. It is so easy to get bogged down with the responsibiliteis and pressures of life that we forget the Lord is coming. The Lord is certianly not ignorant of our struggles in life, but one of the ways He encourages our hope is to remind us again and again of his soon return. But will it actually be soon? Could this really be the year of the Lord's return?

I dare you to listen to this episode and answer the questions that we are going to talk about. These questions were part of an exercise I did a couple years ago and now looking back, I realized that my honest answers in that moment has brought so much necessary and healthy change in my life that I am forever grateful for. This is not another reflection exercise to gloss over… I truly believe that this could be the beginning of everything changing in your life for the better. I want to invite you to spend 15 minutes with these questions, pray over them and take action on what you wrote down. ”But, what if I am scared to do that?!” girl, I promise you, that you are not alone! You can do it scared, let's do this!

Have you ever said the phrase “I just want to hear God's voice”?! I am sure we all have or wondered what it would be like. I have news for you, friend. He IS speaking, I think the better question is “are we listening?!” When our days are flying by and can sometimes be chaotic, the enemy would love nothing more than to make us think that God is not there or he doesn't care about us. Today we are going over just 5 of the ways to be encouraged that He is absolutely speaking. Whether this is a fresh perspective or a long overdue reminder, I pray that you take to heart these ways and put into practice, not just all at once in a hurried- religious way; but that you would choose to start small and consistently incorporate them into your day and watch how God shows up!

This episode is so special to me. I got to sit down with my sister from another mister, JoJo! She is the host of Behind Our Portraits Podcast, a nurse, sister and friend. We open up about so much when it comes to relationships and divine connections. We talk all things friendships, new seasons, surrendering our desires, stewardship, faith, discipleship and the value of having a Godly community. This episode is a prime example of what happens when you let go of the things that no longer serve where God is leading you. That includes friends, relationships, places, ideas and so much more. If you are someone who wants/needs community, this will definitely encourage you! JoJo is truly a Godsend to me and a gem to the world. I am so proud of you!

"God's call to you is not to get things done but to use time well. God's will for you is not to get things dome but to grow in sanctification. God's purpose in creating you is not to get things done but to glorify Him." -Esther Engelsma I recently read the booklet, How Can I Feel Productive as a Mom? by Esther Engelsma. My heart was so challenged! She looks at productivity and motherhood through the perspective of eternity. There are many demands of motherhood, and we often struggle to prioritize well. Sometimes, we get much done but we missed the things that are the most important. In this episode, I share my takeaways from this helpful booklet. I pray it will encourage you as much as it has me!

"Salvation is more than a past experience. It is a present possession." -Clarence Sexton John writes that we can KNOW that we have eternal life, yet for many of us, we doubt our eternal security. Doubt is a real part of my story. For many years, I struggled with placing my full faith and trust in Christ for my soul's salvation. Fear clouded my understanding of Scripture.

One prevailing question burns at the heart of each generation—one question keeps them up at night. Understanding this question helps us know how to reach people of every age, especially our kids. For the Baby Boomers, people born in the 40s, 50, and 60s, that question is: What is TRUE? Like the great philosophers of old, this generation was preoccupied with truth. For Gen X, born between 1965 and 1980, that question is: What is REAL? This generation invented reality TV because they are preoccupied with finding authenticity. For Millennials, born between 1981 and 1995, that question is: What is GOOD? This generation is deeply concerned about the environment, justice, and contributing to the greater good. Which brings us to our kids, to Gen Z. What question burns at the heart of this generation? They want to know: What am I? Or “Who am I?” Our kids are preoccupied with understanding their identity. In this episode of CPCW, Catherine expertly navigates each of these questions in the light of Biblical truth. Every generation is asking a vital question, but they aren't necessarily asking them in the right order. We cannot know who we are, our true identity, unless we understand what is good. And we can't understand what is good if we don't know what is real. And we can't know what is real unless we first know what is true. Without a foundation of Biblical truth, we can't arrive at the correct answer for any of these crucial questions. But when you start with the right question, you can arrive at the correct answer for each generation. Truth is paramount. This is why Jesus' primary purpose in coming to the earth was to proclaim the truth. Christ said,“For this purpose I was born. For this purpose I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth.” (John 18:37) Truth leads to an accurate definition of reality, which leads to the correct definition of what is good, which leads to the proper understand of who we are, our identity. Moms & Dads, this is the prevailing issue of our kid's day. Identity is it. We must understand what our kids are facing, and how to lead them back to truth.

Why do people who once seemed like stalwarts of Christian discipleship leave the faith? What leads them to deconstruct what they once professed and defended? In part two of our three-part series on deconstruction, we look at four contributing factors and are reminded again that people questioning their faith - and sometimes, sadly, walking away - is nothing new.

Join me and Vikiyah as we tackle the topic of purpose. In this episode, Vikiyah gives her thoughts about what it looks like to follow purpose. Vikiyah encourages you not to let people, money or even yourself stop you from doing what you were put on this earth to do. Do what God called you to do, and be who God called you to be, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. And when you need a little motivation, remember your purpose might be tied to somebody else. So, if you're not walking in purpose, you could be being selfish, and standing in the way of somebody getting the help they need. And if you are someone who is frustrated because maybe you're trying to find your purpose, and haven't figured it out yet. It's cool, ask God to show you, and give it time. It'll find you. Don't forget to support my girl!

Truth is the central issue of the Christian faith—it is the primary reason Christ came to earth, and yet nearly half of all born again Christians do not believe in universal truth. The enemy has a plan to twist and contort the truth, and in this episode, Catherine examines his tactics by peering into his playbook. She will take you on a tour of history, literature, current media trends, and even a classic hymn, all the while using theological truth as our guide to uncover the enemy's greatest weapon of mass destruction in our lives. Teach your children to see what the enemy is doing. Let your home be a place where truth reigns supreme.SPARK MEDIA FAN AWARDS: Nominate CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD for a Spark Fan Award in the categories of “Best Female Podcast” and “Best Solo Podcast.” https://www.sparkmedia.ventures/site/awardsDon't forget to leave a review of CPCW on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify!WORKS REFERENCED:CW Article: “What is the Biggest Threat to Our Faith and Our Culture Today?”: https://bit.ly/3GNOeRPChristian Headlines: “58 Percent of Americans Believe Moral Truth ‘Is Up to Each Individual,' New Poll Finds”: https://bit.ly/3uOXy5C1984 by George OrwellCNN Story: “Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting”: https://bit.ly/3Bm3wfeThe Federalist: “Death Toll Rises to Estimated 30 Since ‘Mostly Peaceful Protests' Began”: https://bit.ly/36eS4XBMartin Luther: “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/886 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED:John 18:37John 8:44Genesis 3:1, 4John 3:5Matthew 26:65Acts 6:11Follow Catherine:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catherinesegars/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motherhoodfaithandculture/Episode Image Credit: Getty/z_wei

We've been talking about doing this episode for quite a while now, but other topics or life situations kept getting in the way, but we are finally here. We are doing an episode on truth statements, destroying the lies that derail us. We've mentioned them a ton on different episodes, but we've never really dived deep into what they are and how we can use them in our lives. We answer five questions about Truth Statements that people may commonly have. When did you start using them, and why did you start? Where do the lies come from, and what lies are you talking about? So, are you talking about self-help or positive affirmations, or is it more than that? How do you discover the lies, and where do you find the Truths? How and when do you use these Truth Statements?

What does it mean to be spiritual? How can you be more spiritual? It's important to answer these questions from Scripture and Christian theology. To be spiritual is to be indwelt by Christ's Spirit, the Holy Spirit. And the Spirit is other-directed and Christ-centered. He works to draw attention not to himself but to Jesus Christ. Being spiritual, therefore, isn't about keeping up an appearance or reputation or talking all the time about one's spiritual experiences or achievements. Instead it's about letting the Spirit turn our attention away from ourselves on to Christ, and to the needs of others. Scriptures Referenced: John 15:26; 16:13-14; 1 Pet 1:10-12; Rom 8:5-8; 1 Cor 12-14; Acts 11:23; Eph 5:18-21; 1 Cor 2:2 Visit PracticologyPodcast.com for more episodes.Follow the Practicology Podcast on Twitter
When we think of defending our faith, it's easy to see ideas about powerful arguments and passionate debates about what is right and wrong. But, in reality, defending our faith is actually something much more powerful than arguments and knowledge. As Pastor Kevin shares, the most effective tool you have is simply sharing your experience with God. Scriptures Referenced John 8:1-11, 10:10; Colossians 2:6-17; Revelation 12:11 Additional Resources Join us for worship on Sundays.

We are continuing a series of episodes comparing Jesus to superheroes. This series will tackle wrong ideas about Jesus from church history in chronological order. A superhero will represent each of these ideas. Is Jesus Like the Green Lantern? Who is the Green Lantern? There are 7200 Green Lanterns in the intergalactic corps. They each have a ring that gives them their power. Hal Jordan was the first human being from earth to become a Green Lantern. The 2011 DC film wasn't successful. What is Adoptionism (or Dynamic Monarchianism)? Monarchianism is unitarianism--only one God Who is only one Person Dynamic monarchianism allows for this divinity to change (adopt a Son). Modalistic monarchianism is God manifesting in three modes. Adoptionism teaches that Jesus became divine either at his baptism Who were the early adoptionist teachers? Theodotus the tanner of Byzantium (late 100's) taught that Jesus became the Christ at his baptism and became divine at his resurrection. Paul of Samosata (bishop from 260-268) taught that Jesus had God indwell him from his baptism. Questions for adoptionism: Did man become the Son of God, or did the Son of God become man? (John 1:1,14; 8:58) Was the Son sent to earth or adopted from the earth? (Heb 2:14; 1Jn 4:9) Doesn't this deny monotheism and worship of one God? (Isa 43:10; 45:21-23; Phi 2:6-11) What is the main problem with adoptionism? It denies substitutionary atonement by denying the problem of original sin.

We are continuing a series of episodes comparing Jesus to superheroes. This series will tackle wrong ideas about Jesus from church history in chronological order. A superhero will represent each of these ideas. Is Jesus Like Thor? We answer this question by answering the following: Who is Thor? What are things that Jesus and Thor seem to have in common?

This is Part two of the discussion on the fear of death. There is a godly fear of death and an ungodly fear of death. It is critical to know the distinction during the Covid-19 epidemic. The Christian should not have an ungodly fear of death. Death for a Christian means entrance into the presence of Jesus Christ our rest, satisfaction, shepherd and King. We can eagerly risk our lives for furtherance of the gospel because of this. Scriptures Referenced: • John 11:25-27• Philippians 1:20-25• Revelation 7:14-17

We are so excited to be back after an impromptu break from podcasting over the past month or so. The reason? We're expecting another baby! Between "book launch burn out" and first trimester, it was time to rest. This week on the Embracing a Simpler Life podcast we are tackling an incredibly difficult topic: suffering. In fact, suffering is the thing that stands between many people and faith in God, because they don't understand how a good God could allow it. At the very least, most of us wrestle with this and struggle to understand. We do. While we don't have all the answers, we have found some handles to help us process suffering through eternal perspective. We have some thoughts and many scriptures we'd like to share with you. Join us as we consider: How does this life measure up to eternity? What are the good fruits that come from suffering? What does it mean to have hope?

Scriptures Referenced John 16:20-22, "...A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." James 1:2-4, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Revelation 21:2-4, “I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
