Send us a textWhat happens when we stand exposed before a holy God? Adam's terrified response in Genesis 3:10 reveals a universal human condition - the shame and fear that comes from recognizing our spiritual nakedness.Drawing from his unique perspective as both physician and theologian, Dr. Robert Jackson masterfully weaves together biblical wisdom with fascinating medical case studies. Through three distinct patients - a woman with dementia who feels no shame in her nakedness, a man with OCD who cannot control his compulsive exposure, and a dancer whose conscience has been dulled by years of deliberate choices - we gain profound insights into the nature of shame, conscience, and our relationship with God.At its heart, this episode tackles the uncomfortable truth that we cannot hide from God any more than Adam could behind fig leaves and garden trees. The fear Adam experienced wasn't simply embarrassment about physical nakedness, but the terrifying realization of standing corrupted before perfect righteousness. As Dr. Jackson powerfully states, "Sinners, in their shame, always fear the presence and voice of holy God."Yet this message offers hope beyond conviction. While our own righteousness amounts to nothing but "filthy rags," Christ provides the perfect covering we desperately need. The God who came looking for Adam like "a loving parent seeking a wayward child" still seeks us today. Will our shame drive us toward confession and repentance, or hiding and hardening our hearts? The invitation to exchange our inadequate fig leaves for Christ's perfect righteousness awaits your response.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

Hope is more than wishful thinking — it's the anticipation of good things from a good God who has redeemed us, loves us, and cares for us. This is why Jesus' followers have the most reason to be hopeful humans.  Even still, all of us experience times when feelings of shame and depression drain our hopefulness and crush our spirit.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi talk about cultivating hope to become healthy in your apprenticeship to Jesus. You will learn about the causes of depression, the dynamics of shame, and how powerful the presence of a safe friend can be when you find yourself spiraling.

Sometimes it's too good to hear once. In this emotionally charged flashback episode of The Tragedy Academy, Jay Hicks sits down with Bruce W. Brackett to explore one of the most vulnerable journeys ever shared on the show—from addiction and abuse to art, advocacy, and radical self-love.Bruce opens up about the cycles of trauma, the power of the inner ember that never dies, and how one brutal night at rock bottom led to the symbolic burial of his addiction. Through Bruce's raw storytelling and Jay's deeply empathetic reflections, this episode becomes a living meditation on survival, transformation, and what it means to shine anyway.Listeners will walk away reminded that we are not the sum of our damage, but the authors of what we do next.And sometimes, the smallest ember becomes the bonfire.

Are you tired of carrying shame for things God already forgave? In this message, we expose the lies of shame and pride, and show how Jesus cut them off at the cross—for good.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Many of us have been taught to disconnect from our bodies, feelings, and turn away from our true wants. This disconnection often leads to living a life that feels out of alignment and dull. When we deny our desires, we deny a vital part of our life force. And when shame takes the driver's seat, we lose touch with our authentic self. In this empowering and sensual episode, you'll learn: What Desire Really Is How Shame Gets Programmed Tools to Reclaim Your Desires Creating a Desire Fulfilled Life On this episode of The Pleasure Zone, Host Milica Jelenic, Sex & Intimacy Coach and Holistic Health Practitioner, invites you to know "How to Own Your Desires Without Shame".

“Satan builds the strongholds in the secrets of our lives and reinforces them with silence…,” (Dr. Richard Dobbins) Most of us know the mouth-watering aroma of fresh baked pretzels in the mall or in an airport. Their familiar scent wrap you in a hug of comfort.  They are pretty irresistible! Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Ann's Pretzels journey towards success began years before she rolled the first pretzel when they experienced any parent's worst nightmare – the death of a child. Then came a dark secret. Their loss propelled Anne into years of darkness, depression, despair, and betrayal by someone she trusted. She shares the dark secret and the resulting trauma that haunted her for years. But out of all her pain - came purpose and the desire to persevere toward personal and professional success.  But more, she encourages those with deep secrets of their own  - to break their silence and reach a whole new level of freedom! In Psalm 32 King David said, “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.” Jenny has talked about this on Crossroads for many years - secrets keep us in darkness and bondage. You can find more about Anne's Podcast, books and speaking at annebeiler.com. What started as a single farmer's market stand grew into Auntie Anne's, the world's largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise!

In this conversation, Jason Martinkus discusses the evolution of his marriage coaching practice, Redemptive Living, focusing on the shift from sobriety to emotional work in recovery. He shares insights from his personal journey of overcoming betrayal and the importance of character change, particularly humility, in the recovery process. The discussion also covers how to measure progress in recovery, emphasizing the difference between streaks and trends, and the significance of integrating data with emotional understanding in personal growth. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the importance of emotional connection in relationships, particularly in the context of recovery from infidelity. They discuss the need to meet emotions with empathy rather than data, the dynamics of emotional and physical affairs, and the significance of understanding core wounds. The concept of the 'grieving boat' is introduced to illustrate the challenges faced during recovery, and the distinction between shame and conviction is explored. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of building trustworthiness through character development and connection.   Got a Question? It Could Be on the Podcast!

I don't believe there is anything that attacks our identitymore as a mom than shame. Mom shame or mom shaming is a big issue for moms.  As a Jesus mom, the shame gamedoesn't have to be an issue for us. We can walk in freedom from it. Mom shame is a critical spirit toward yourself or other momsfor the parenting choices you make with your kids.  Everyone has an opinion about raising kids. Enter all the parenting advice and “research” that disregards biblical parenting principles, and we are stuck in an endless cycle of shame that leavesus defeated and ready to throw in the towel.In this episode, Tina is sharing with you how you can overcome mom shame and walk in freedom from it.Join the Prayer Tribe https://mailchi.mp/24bba9787d3e/raisingkidsonyourknees Listen to Legacy - A Mom Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7gUlB9MmhN1cTJT3RqYt2o?si=e9317be878de43cdRest Refresh Renew Retreat https://RaisingKidsonYourKnees.org/rest-refresh-renew-retreatZoom Room Monday through Friday at 9:00 a.m. ET https://us02web.zoom.us/j/273129977?pwd=OEdMM2lYR3gvVXRoUHl6YW0wcmlEZz09Flying Arrow Productions

This was a great conversation with Joe DiToma author of Cult of The Black Sun and Cisco Street Love author of Yesterdays Shame: Story of Atlanta Child Murders.These are two very brilliant researchers on a variety of subjects. We covered the Son of sam Case, The Process Church of the Final Judgment, Wayne Williams, The Atlanta Child Murders and much more .The Cult of the Black Sun Paperback – November 15, 2010by Joe DiToma The Cult of the Black Sun by Joseph DiToma is a gripping, white-knuckle thriller about a clandestine operation involving deadly Nazi technology. Hamilton Knight, an OSS operative, begins working alongside his former German enemies and, feeling increasingly uneasy, forms an alliance against them with other members of the CIA. Believing these Germans are out to destroy the world, Knight knows he has only a few chances to stop them. His son Cosmo, a scientist, operates a paranormal investigation lab in upstate New York, which soon becomes a web to trap the paranormal-loving Nazis before they can annihilate America. Can Hamilton and his son stop the Nazi plot in time, or is it already too late? A brilliant study of good against evil that is filled with larger than life characters and situations, The Cult of the Black Sun proves that when good men do nothing, evil can reign, but when good men stand up to evil and assert their sovereignty, evil will always be conquered. DiToma, who grew up listening to his father talk about the secret sect of the Catholic Church, has said he is fascinated by conspiracy theories, and that he has spent his life trying to determine the truth in all situations. With The Cult of The Black Sun, he has fashioned a book that is as provocative as it is entertaining.Yesterday's Shame: The Atlanta Child Murders Kindle Editionby Cisco Streetlove The Atlanta Child Murders occurred between 1979 and 1981. Wayne Bertram Williams was presented to the public as the most viable suspect. Yet, years after his conviction, more evidence emerged to proved that there was more to the story.Authorities covered up - to the public at large - the existence of a major child pornography and child sex syndicate that was active in Atlanta. More victims were also murdered. And what are the possible ties between the serial slayings in Atlanta, and those in Oakland County Michigan (1976 to 1977) and in the Freeway Phantom case?Yesterday's Shame: The Atlanta Child Murders sheds light on a terrible chapter in America's history...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Picture this, Habit Thrivers:It's Saturday morning, spring is in the air, and the spring cleaning bug has bitten.With a look of determination and a handful of trash bags, you open the spare bedroom/garage/closet, put your hands on your hips, and say:Look at all of this crap...You've been there, right?I sure have.Today, on Episode #151 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are discussing how to use an Ayurvedic perspective to eliminate decluttering shame and really embrace who we really are.No matter if you are a Vata, Pitta or Kapha woman, we all have our strengths and weaknesses - and it's no different when it comes to dealing with the clutter in our lives.The Vata woman feels overwhelmed by clutter. She starts in one place, gets distracted by another project or a memory, and ends up with a handful of unfinished piles.The Pitta woman hates clutter. She's irritated by it (and anyone who gets in her spring-cleaning way). She is so focused and determined on decluttering that she dismisses and misses out on other opportunities while she dives into her decluttering mission.The Kapha woman feels an emotional pull to her clutter. She has a hard time letting things go, because her emotions are tied to those objects. She may take one look at the messy drawer or closet and be instantly stuck.But, while understanding our Dosha helps us understand what keeps us stuck on clutter, it can also help us move past our limitations, embrace who we are and make new progress.So join me today, and find out what decluttering approaches speak directly to the woman you already are.Love,Lorrie xoxoxMentioned in this episode:Take the Banyan Botanicals Dosha QuizLoving the show?

Thank you to the Paypal contributor from the UK. Um, from a month ago. Sorry it took so long to give a shout out.  Your contribution means a lot!   Body of episode: Isaiah 54:1 1“Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. I am well aware that this scripture is an analogy and not literal. I know the literal meaning, which you can search via Google or a Bible commentary if you want to know.    I use the Matthew Henry Commentary for my research. I don't want to get into the weeds here, so I am giving you homework. I love this verse because it brings joy and hope to those of us who never had children, and not shame and derision.  Although we did not have children, we can still contribute to society by the decisions we make to be a part of society; as teachers, as aunts, as mentors; in whatever roles we choose to be a part of a child's life. To be a part of society. Importantly: in addition to whatever you choose to do with your life. You can be an astronaut and mentor. You can be a CEO and be a wonderful aunt.  Choose, decide, not to go inward and separate yourself from society because of the grief of childlessness. How we live our lives is always a choice. A decision.  I know we are all in different places on our childless not by choice journey, but I am confident that as we continue on our journey, we will get to the point where we can embrace our whole selves. You are the only you. I am the only me. You will get to the point where you can embrace the missing part in your heart and yet enjoy every aspect of your life. If it could happen for me, trust me, it can happen for you.  I've said in previous episodes that no one could have told me I would never have children. It was just out of the question! But we never know what life has in store for us. How we deal with it is what is important. Very important.  I also want to say that Mother's Day is a day created by someone to recognize mothers. Mother's are doing the hard work to raise children to be positive contributors to a civil society. We need that now more than ever. So I am grateful to all the great mothers out there doing the hard work!  We all know that what we don't learn at home, the world will teach us. And the world is a harsh teacher. We all know that!  I am grateful to my mom, may she continue to rest in peace. She left this world the week before Mother's Day, no less.  I miss her every day because I know she had my best interests at heart. Even as an adult, she would ask me questions that made me think.  I remember once she asked me about a certain friendship where I always seemed to be giving, but not getting anything back. It was not a deep friendship, but it was enough of a friendship where there could have been some reciprocation.  That question made me step back and take a look at my friendships. It reminded me to value myself even as I valued others.  That one question really helped me in the years to come, to make sure I was valued in my friendships and relationships. One little question. So, be sure to value yourself. Value your life.  Value what you do for a living. Value your place in this world. Value that little place in your heart that may feel an emptiness.  And for those of you who teach or mentor, who have mothered whole communities, whole families…you are helping to make a positive contribution to the world by helping children become a positive contribution to society, showing them how to manage their lives, biases, selfishness, love, life, their hearts, their laundry.  Dear childless not by choice woman, you are seen, you are remembered, you are loved, you are valued.               Research links: Isaiah 54:1 My contact information: Website: www.childlessnotbychoice.net and www.civillamorgan.com Facebook: booksbycivillamorgan Instagram: @joyandrelevance Pinterest: Civilla M.

What does it truly mean to love your children? In this episode, Dr. Roger Smith explores whether your children truly feel your love through your actions. Drawing from the idea that love covers wrongdoings, he poses a crucial question: Are you more inclined to protect your child's mistakes with their sense of shame in mind, or do you tend to expose and weaponize them? Dr. Smith clarifies that addressing wrongdoing is essential, but the key lies in how you do it. Discover the difference between exposing and quietly correcting, and how the latter fosters a deep sense of being loved and protected. Tune in to reflect on how your actions communicate love to your children. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com 

Today I'm sharing some recent big mistakes I've made, and one of them I've made more than once. While frustrating and costly, these blunders highlighted my progress in dealing with shame. Instead of harsh self-criticism, I experienced guilt, frustration, and a greater sense of self-compassion, acknowledging my high mental load and rushing. This allowed me to learn valuable lessons about slowing down and double-checking. Unlike shame, which hinders growth and ownership, compassion helps us move forward. Tune in to see how you can relate, and start giving yourself some more compassion when you make mistakes, too!

Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we continue our Sacred Scar Story Series, where we talk with individuals who have experienced deep pain, but have also seen God bring healing and redemption. My guest, Phylis Mantelli, shares her journey of growing up with a narcissistic, alcoholic mother in a chaotic and abusive environment—facing stress, shame, and secrets from an early age. Despite a childhood marked by dysfunction, trauma, and loss, Phyllis eventually chose to pursue healing and break the cycle of generational pain in her own family. Through honest reflection, deep faith, and intentional work, she now helps other women confront their own “mother wounds” and embrace the truth that God can transform even our most painful stories into something sacred. You’ll be encouraged by her transparency, wisdom, and hope-filled perspective. Quotables from the episode: Some of your hardest stories become the very thing that you are able to help others through if you can find healing for yourself. I was raised by a dysfunctional, alcoholic, narcissistic mom and everyday was living on the edge of stress, and shame, and secrets. My mom kidnapped us, my dad came home to an empty house with no family. It took him three and a half months to find us. At eight years old, we moved in with my mother’s boyfriend, my sister’s father, and started a whole new life. Imagine being plucked out of your childhood and everything you’ve known and you’re just supposed to start a new school the next day like nothing is going on. My mom had violence in her relationships our entire lives, so we witnessed violence growing up—we were physically and verbally abused. Growing up, being told to be strong and not tell anyone about it, I didn’t realize it until many years later that I’m actually a very highly sensitive person but because I was taught to be tough, I became a really strong coverer of all kinds of wounds. So I had a lot of rage but I didn’t even realize that’s what it was. With secrets, you think that you’re the only person going through things. There was so much shame attached to that that I never shared my story with anyone. After 61 years, I was finally able to grieve my story. And I realized that I’m not alone and there are many other women who have gone through similar things and I want to learn how to help them. Through trial and error, and being able to say the words, “I’m sorry” and “tell me more,” I was able to deep conversations with my daughters and break off that generational dysfunction. It takes work, and that’s the kind of thing I love to do in my ministry, by helping other women get to that place. I became a Christian at 35, and I realized that my life is worthy. I am loved because I am a child of God and He has always had his hand on me. I felt God through all the trials in my life and even in the things I did wrong. I didn’t love myself…I wanted someone to love me, and now I know that God does. I needed to say “no more” for looking for outside sources to love me. I had to love myself and I spent a lot of time on the floor crying out to God. It’s not about the stuff you do. It’s about the heart of where you are. God hears you and loves you. You don’t have to do X, Y, Z to earn his love. You have to look back over your history and realize someone has been carrying you even through all the muck, and that means they love you. Shame sounds like, “If they find out your secrets, they are never going to like you and they are going to fun from you.” When you hold onto secrets, it’s like a little gift inside your body that is so tight that it’s ready to explode, and that’s a gift Satan wants you to not open up because he knows that once you open it up and let it out, no matter what, it holds no power over you anymore. Tell your story to safe people. Secrets have to come out. You cannot get to a place of peace until healing takes place in your body. Satan likes to tell us all the things we aren’t, but God loves to tell us all the things we are. Nothing will separate us from his love. If you really want to heal, you have to start doing things differently. You can’t keep doing things the same way and expect a different result—it’s likely not going to happen. We have to choose to pursue our healing. God isn’t going to force it on us. Every family is different so don’t do the comparison thing and think “I want to be like that family over there.” Do what works for you. Where you are and what works for your family and brings your family peace and comfort may not look like others. God is giving you God-kisses in the most gentle of ways and we have to open our eyes to see it even in the midst of great struggle.

What happens when our desire for climate accountability transforms into cancel culture? In this thought-provoking conversation, author of the book Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny Morgan breaks down how our collective approach to sustainability communication often backfires, creating fear rather than progress.Jenny explains what drove her to write "Cancel Culture and Climate" – seeing organizations retreat from public climate commitments out of fear, even as climate impacts intensify around us. She draws a crucial distinction between cancel culture (which permanently labels entities as "bad") and true accountability (which provides clear pathways for improvement).Through compelling examples like the contrasting approaches of Allbirds and Crocs, she demonstrates how transparency about both achievements and challenges creates space for collective advancement. Rather than celebrating the downfall of competitors, Allbirds showed how industry-wide collaboration benefits everyone – a refreshing alternative to the "schadenfreude" that often dominates sustainability conversations.For businesses struggling with sustainability goals, Jenny offers practical frameworks for honest communication. Instead of burying setbacks in dense reports or glossing over them with vague marketing language, she recommends directly addressing why certain targets weren't met and what's needed to overcome obstacles. This transparency invites stakeholders to contribute solutions rather than simply criticize failures.Most importantly, Jenny reminds us that behind every business decision are human beings with complex motivations. Her "motivational conversation" approach encourages exploring with curiosity, actively listening, and discovering shared values – whether communicating with family members, colleagues, or competing businesses. "If we're just focused on winning the argument," she cautions, "we will lose the argument ultimately."Discover how replacing perfectionism with progress and judgment with curiosity might be our best path forward in addressing climate challenges.

We live in a culture of extremes—where the loudest voice wins, emotional manipulation masquerades as influence, and overcorrection has become the new dysfunction. We see it in our families. We feel it in our churches. And when it finally shows up in our relationships, we wonder why everything feels so chaotic. This week on Win Today, Manny Arango is here to pull the curtain back on the deeper issues no one wants to admit. Together, we're talking about the generational cycles of chaos we've inherited, how manipulation uses fear to gain control, and why overcorrecting for past pain only produces more dysfunction. And at the center of it all? The worship of self, disguised as confidence, but rooted in pride. In this conversation, Manny exposes: The hidden tactics of emotional manipulation that we normalize How to recognize and break generational cycles of chaos Why overcorrection is not healing—it's reactionary bondage What it really means to dethrone the god of self and let Christ take His rightful place   If you're tired of pretending, if you're sick of spiritual language being used to control, and if you're ready to break the cycles that have defined your family and your faith, this episode will confront you, challenge you, and call you higher.

Synopsis:  Is Authoritarianism Here?: Gessen and Stanley discuss the shift in America's self-understanding, from democratic ideals to a self-identity based on loving the US for its past greatness, and warn that this is not a democratic project, but rather a fascist one, similar to what Putin is doing in Russia. ARE YOU AUDACIOUS?

Masha Gessen and Jason Stanley are two leading experts on autocracy, and they're sounding the alarm. They and their families have escaped totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments; today Gessen and Stanley are pulling back the curtain on the attacks against DEI, trans bodies, civil rights, higher education and more. Is authoritarianism here? Masha Gessen is an acclaimed Russian-American journalist, a Polk Award winning opinion writer for the New York Times and the author of "Surviving Autocracy" and “The Future is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.” Forced to leave Russia twice, in 2024, a Moscow court convicted them, in absentia to eight years in prison for their reporting on the war in Ukraine. Jason Stanley is a best-selling author and professor whose books include “Erasing History” and "How Fascism Works". He recently left his teaching position at Yale University to relocate to Canada with his family; noting that he is a child of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany. In this historic conversation — the first interview between Gessen and Stanley — the two explore how to be bold in our movements and envision a multi-ethnic democracy. Plus, a commentary from Laura.“Trump has proposed a revived empire, a return to an imaginary past. The Democrats have proposed the way things are now, which are deeply unsatisfying and horribly anxiety provoking for a very large number of people. So we need a vision of a future that is more appealing than the imaginary past.” - Masha Gessen“What I see now is this regime shifting the self understanding of America, from having these democratic ideals . . . God knows they've been imperfect, to a self identity as loving the United States because we've had these great men in our past, and we've conquered the West, and we can punch you in the nose. And that's not a democratic project. That's like what Putin is doing in Russia.” - Jason Stanley• Masha Gessen: Opinion Columnist, The New York Times; Author, Surviving Autocracy; Distinguished Professor, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, CUNY• Jason Stanley: Author, Erasing History & How Fascism Works; Professor, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto Music Credit: “America” by Sylvan Paul, courtesy of Wolf+Lamb Records.  "Steppin" by Podington Bear.

Shame. Fear. Identity crisis. Our generation—especially young adults and parents—is silently drowning in hidden battles. We long for freedom, yet so often search for it through striving, rituals, or more information. All the while, we navigate deep waters of confusion, facing demonic resistance and relentless cultural pressure. Does God still show up in the chaos? Can Jesus really meet us in our mess—just as He did the woman at the well? And when we finally meet Him — can we still find it in ourselves to wholly and completely surrender to God?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer welcomes Laurel Bunker: preacher, educator, and spiritual mother to many. With over 30 years of ministry in higher education and nonprofit leadership, Laurel shares her deeply personal journey from performance-based religion to radical intimacy with the Living Word. She opens up about confronting demonic oppression, overcoming self-hatred, and raising daughters in a world flooded with lies.Rooted in the story of the woman at the well, this conversation is a call to lay down shame, reclaim identity, and rise in kingdom authority. If you're weary from the fight, questioning your worth, or longing to hear God's voice again—pause. Take a seat by the well. Encounter Jesus. Surrender to God; drink deeply of His grace and be restored.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Gain biblical clarity on how to surrender to God and live fully in “Spirit and Truth,” beyond mere rituals and religion.Understand how shame, demonic influence, and the culture of people-pleasing hinder identity.Learn how a transformational encounter with Jesus breaks lifelong bondage, as told through Laurel Bunker's story.Become Part of Our Mission!

I'm giving it all away for Jesus now, you know. We got to redeem the time.”The cultural tension between Jews and Samaritans sets the stage for Jesus' radical act of compassion and revelation.This moment shatters cultural shame and personal guilt, proving Jesus meets people right where they are.[9:01] Transformation and Worship in Spirit and TruthOne conversation with Jesus turns the Samaritan woman into an evangelist to her entire town.Her transformation ripples outward, showing that personal encounters with truth can spark collective revival.According to Laurel, true worship isn't tied to a location or ritual. Instead, we must act our faith through a surrendered, Spirit-filled life.Living in spirit and truth becomes more than theology—it becomes a multiplying force of freedom.[20:25] Challenges and Encouragement for BelieversLegalism, shame, and spiritual burnout are real struggles for modern believers.Laurel shares how her own religious performance led to exhaustion and how encountering Jesus brought lasting freedom.[22:51] Laurel: “I promise you, growing up all the way into my 20s, in my early 20s, I would look at Christ or images of him, or Christ on the cross, and I wouldn't know who- I didn't know who he was.”Wounds from church experiences don't have to write the final chapter of your faith. Healing and purpose remain possible when we surrender to God.Believers are encouraged to live a lifestyle of repentance, humility, and unfiltered honesty before God.[32:28] The Power of the Holy Spirit in Modern TimesThe Holy Spirit isn't a concept confined to the early church—it's a present force guiding and healing today.Laurel shares stories of spiritual breakthrough and reminds believers that revival begins with personal obedience.Following Jesus means actively listening, discerning, and stepping into purpose led by the Spirit.The call is clear: lean into the Holy Spirit's presence and let Him do the work only He can do.[40:49] Addressing Shame and Finding Freedom in ChristShame distorts identity and silences spiritual authority, but it doesn't have the final word. Laurel herself has journeyed through a valley of deep shame — but Christ's love shattered every lie.Freedom came not through hiding, but through confession and grace. Through the relentless pursuit of truth, she was able to surrender to God.Listeners are urged to stop hiding, start healing, and reclaim their place as sons and daughters of the King.[47:20] Reagan: “That's what Jesus does. He unites people. He does so because he's bringing people together through the truth of the gospel.”[48:40] Living a Life of Worship and ServiceBeing able to surrender to God and worship goes beyond music—it's found in daily acts of obedience, faithfulness, and service.Laurel encourages believers to discover how their unique gifts can be expressions of worship.Even small acts of faithfulness carry weight in the Kingdom when done in love and obedience.Listeners are reminded that God honors hearts surrendered in both the big and the quiet, hidden places.[55:16] Understanding the Spiritual JourneyLiving by the Spirit requires intentional daily surrender.Laurel explains how believers must crucify the flesh and embrace the eternal life birthed through the Spirit.The Holy Spirit becomes the source of joy, healing, and clarity in a chaotic world.It's not about trying harder, but walking in step with the Spirit who renews us from the inside out.[1:03:38] Laurel: “I refuse to give human beings and this world more praise and more of my energy and my day than I give the one who gave his life for me.”[1:12:22] An Invitation to Surrender to GodRather than striving to fix what's broken, listeners are encouraged to sit with Jesus—just as they are—and receive the healing that only His love can bring.No weapon formed against you will prosper.No lie of the enemy can stand against the truth of your identity in Christ.Say yes to restoration. Say yes to Jesus. Surrender to God and let your journey of healing begin—right here, right now.About LaurelLaurel Bunker is a seasoned preacher, educator, and spiritual leader with over three decades of ministry experience across higher education, nonprofits, and the local church.

In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I'm joined by Kara Stevens—founder of The Frugal Feminista, personal finance coach, and unapologetic advocate for women healing their relationship with money. Kara opens up about her journey from earning six figures while buried in $65K of debt to building a life centered around emotional well-being, financial clarity, and aligned values. We talk about how money avoidance shows up in sneaky ways, why emotional spending isn't just about impulse, and how to demolish debt without feeling like you're in financial lockdown. You'll hear: Why income doesn't equal financial confidence How generational money trauma impacts Black women in particular What “values-based budgeting” actually looks like in real life The difference between being rich and feeling rich Why healing—not hustling—is the real secret to long-term wealth We also dive into Kara's approach to parenting around money, navigating side hustles while holding a 9-to-5, and the mindset shifts that turn shame into strategy. Whether you're staring down your own debt, trying to break a financial cycle, or just ready to feel more in control of your money—this conversation is a must-listen. You'll walk away knowing: Many women face hidden struggles with money and debt. Shame and confusion often accompany financial challenges. Teaching children about money can create a positive relationship with finances. Debt repayment should be approached with compassion and understanding. Balancing work and side hustles requires strategic planning. Income does not equate to wealth; understanding assets is crucial. Finding fulfillment beyond spending is essential for financial well-being. Aligning spending with personal values can lead to better financial decisions. Creating sustainable financial goals involves understanding one's pace and needs. Healing one's relationship with money is key to achieving financial success.

Whether it's from past mistakes, broken relationships, or personal struggles, shame can leave us feeling unworthy, isolated, and stuck. But there's hope. By turning to humility and running toward Jesus—like Peter did after his denial—we can find healing, restoration, and peace. Join John and Victor in the pew this week to unpack the difference between guilt and shame, and share how the Sacrament of Reconciliation, honest community, and God's mercy can help us rediscover our worth. No matter what you've done, you are not beyond the reach of God's love.

In this episode, we dive into the tricky world of accountability — why it sometimes feels empowering and other times just plain awful. I share personal stories, client feedback, and research on what really makes accountability work. Spoiler: it's not about control or shame; it's about building systems that support you. We talk about why so many people resist accountability (hint: nobody likes feeling micromanaged) and how internal vs. external accountability plays into it. I also break down how to create healthy, motivating accountability that actually helps you follow through — without feeling like a failure. If you've ever struggled with accountability groups, hated check-ins, or just want a better way to stay on track, this episode will give you the tools and mindset shift you need.

When I say, “Aretha Franklin,” what's the first thing you want to belt out?  If it's R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that's you and me both, my friend. And, don't worry, I won't hold it against you if it wasn't. As one of my Internal Family Systems consultants, Robert Falconer, reminded me, respect is the opposite of shame and the minimum of love. The second of those ideas, he said, came from the work of Pia Melody, renowned author on recovery from addictions.  Shame is such an inherent part of the bingeing experience that it's built right into the clinical criteria for binge eating disorder. But regarding yourself with respect and care changes the game completely. Listen in to find out more! Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.holdingthespace.co/81. If you're ready to invest in one-on-one support to help heal binge eating, go to https://holdingthespace.as.me/free30 and get on my calendar for a complementary consult today. I pinky-swear—NO icky salesy vibes, just compassion and understanding.

Hey Heal Squad, it's the last day of the week and time for your Sunday Set Up. This week Kev is once again joined by college friend Anne to discuss leading with love and how doing so begets more love. There is also an in depth dream reveal and analysis with resident therapist Chat GPT doing the interpretations. In addition, Chat deciphers other messages you may be receiving from the universe - messages you're most likely unaware of but maybe shouldn't be. Shame feeds smoke. Love feeds light.  Here's to another great week!
