Send us a textWhen we hear the word “repentance,” many of us think of shame, guilt, or fear. But as we explored King David's story in Psalm 51, we discovered something much different—repentance as an invitation into God's love. David's raw prayer after his failure with Bathsheba isn't self-loathing, but a cry for God's mercy and renewal. When he asks God to “create a clean heart,” he's asking for something brand new, the same creative power we see in Genesis. That shows us repentance isn't about behavior modification—it's about God making us new.We also looked at the word metánoia, which means a change of mind, and how Romans 2:4 reminds us that it's God's kindness that leads us to repentance. This truth frees us from fear and draws us into joy, intimacy, and restoration. Whether it's struggles with food, relationships, or shame, repentance is not a detour but the way back to life. We invite you to walk this journey with us, practicing breath prayer, reflection, and learning to see repentance as God's loving call home.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textPodcast Description: Confidence doesn't just magically appear — not for us as parents, and not for our teens either. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt yourself, you know how hard it is to watch your child go through the same thing. In this episode, I'm breaking down what really builds confidence in kids and teens: small “brave reps,” mindset tools, and the support they get from us at home.I'll share practical ways you can help your teen move past fear of failure, perfectionism, and comparison, plus stories and encouragement to remind you that confidence is a skill — and it can be learned at any age.
Send us a textFor years, we carried the heavy misunderstanding that repentance meant shame, guilt, and trying to punish ourselves into change. We even believed we could “hate ourselves into holiness,” but that never worked. Over time, God showed us the truth: repentance is not about condemnation—it's about kindness and freedom. Romans 2:4 reminds us that it's His kindness that draws us close, not fear or punishment. We've seen firsthand that when we turn back to Him, He runs to meet us like the father in the story of the prodigal son, arms wide open and full of compassion.In this episode, we share how repentance looks in our own lives today. Christina opens up about her breast cancer journey and how God is inviting her to turn from fear toward His presence. Heidi reflects on letting go of her need to control everything and learning to rest in God's love. Whatever your struggle—whether it's food, health, or daily challenges—His invitation remains the same. Ready to reframe your understanding of repentance? Join our September theme "Turning Seasons, Turning Hearts" in our private community. The first month is free at revelationwithin.org.

Send us a textAs hosts, we often find ourselves struggling to stay grateful in the middle of life's demands, just like many of our listeners. In this episode, we share how simple practices helped us redirect our focus from stress to thankfulness. Heidi tells of a family trip filled with illness and rainy weather, yet gratitude turned it into a treasured memory. Christina opens up about caring for her mother with Alzheimer's, discovering that thankfulness could lift her anxious thoughts and anchor her in moments of joy.We also explore creative ways to keep gratitude front and center—like using “gratitude triggers,” visual reminders, or habit stacking to weave thankfulness into daily routines. Beyond personal growth, we reveal how gratitude can transform relationships, even before tough conversations. Biblical examples show us how a steady practice of thanksgiving can lead to a deeper awareness of God's gifts. We challenge listeners to try just two simple practices over the next week and see how joy naturally follows gratitude.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Episode 279 – Rewrite Your Story and Break the CycleWe all carry stories from our families — patterns of thinking, trauma, or limiting beliefs that get passed down from one generation to the next. But here's the truth: you don't have to keep living the same script.In this episode, I'll walk you through how to recognize old narratives that no longer serve you and how to reframe them into something empowering and healing. You'll learn practical tools for shifting your mindset so you can break free from generational cycles and step into the thriving version of yourself.If you're a parent, this is also a reminder that your kids don't have to inherit those old stories either. That's why I created my 6-Week Mindset for Kids Course — a program designed to help kids ages 12+ build confidence, regulate emotions, and develop resilience.
In this conversation, Sara Jolena Wolcott and Hilary Giovale explore the themes of interconnectedness and the healing journey of decolonization. Beginning with one of their shared Nordic/Anglo-Saxon heritage's understandings of the web of life, known alternatively as Orlog/Wyrd, they inquire into the purpose and nature of ReMembering as participating in the web of life. They then move into Hilary's journey, which often echoes Sara Jolena's journey and might resonate with many listeners, including the importance of facing ancestral truths and the role of discomfort in personal growth. Hilary shares her experiences in writing her book, 'Becoming a Good Relative,' and the significance of feedback from diverse voices. How do we go between the spiritual and the practical? How do we build community among philanthropists and help philanthropists do our own work? How do we see the decolonial movement growing? We end with celebrating the incredible importance of music and the revitalization of ancestral languages.; The episode ends with some music by Carolyn Hillyer.

The team from HomeTree shares their incredible journey, from a boiler installation company to a multifaceted energy services provider. We learn how Olly and Pranjal's economic backgrounds, combined with Johann's expertise in Climate Change management and finance from Imperial College London, have shaped their innovative, data-driven approach.The Customer Journey FlywheelThe conversation centers on HomeTree's innovative business model, structured around a "customer journey flywheel" with three key divisions:Home Cover: Offering service plans for boilers and heat pump installations, rivaling big players like British Gas.Renewable Installations: Specializing in the installation of solar, battery, and heat pump systems.Renewable Financing: A crucial division that helps customers overcome the significant upfront cost of new energy systems, making the transition more accessible.This flywheel model ensures that customers are supported at every stage of their energy transition.A Different Approach to AcquisitionNathan and his guests discuss HomeTree's unique strategy of acquiring local SME's (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), like the respected IMS Heat Pumps Ltd led by Emma Bohan. They explore why this approach is so beneficial for both HomeTree and the acquired businesses. HomeTree's data revealed that customers prefer working with local installers, and this acquisition model allows them to scale while maintaining a personal touch.Beyond TechnologyThe discussion also highlights that the move to renewable energy isn't just a technological change; it's a behavioral shift for customers. Nathan shares his thoughts on how the Guild of Master Heat Engineers can collaborate with HomeTree to help both the company and its customers navigate this transition, building on the great conversation they started over dinner.
Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into what we call The Great Gratitude Reset. We talk about how gratitude isn't just a nice feeling—it's a daily practice that changes our minds, our health, and our spiritual outlook. Science is finally confirming what the Bible has been saying all along: gratitude reduces anxiety, strengthens our bodies, helps us rest better, and gives us resilience during tough seasons. We've both seen this in our own lives. Christina shares how gratitude keeps her grounded throughout her cancer journey, while Heidi shares how practicing thankfulness sustains her as she walks alongside a close friend in illness. Gratitude has become more than a concept for us—it's been a lifeline.We also share some very practical ways to begin, even if gratitude feels out of reach. One of our favorites is the “Lord I love” exercise, which is as simple as naming small things—like trees, a gentle touch, or even probiotic gummies—and letting those small steps open the door to bigger ones. This isn't about shallow positivity or empty affirmations. It's about anchoring ourselves in God's goodness and allowing His perspective to shape ours. Romans 12 reminds us that our minds are renewed in Him, and gratitude is a key part of that renewal. We invite you to try these practices with us and see how even the smallest acts of thankfulness can reset your heart and perspective.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

At the Rangeland Trust, we are honored to work alongside people whose livelihoods are deeply tied to the health of the land. Ranchers know that caring for the land is more than a responsibility—it's a way of life built on stewardship, grit, and adaptability. Yet, the challenges they face are many: from water shortages and unpredictable weather to shifting regulations and rising costs, today's ranchers are navigating pressures from every direction.In this episode, CEO and host, Michael Delbar, revisits with the Elgorriaga family—whose story you may recognize from our documentary You Just Can't See Them From the Road. For generations, they have ranched in California's Central Valley, meeting each new challenge with persistence, passion, and creativity. Michael sits down with four members of the third generation of the Elgorriaga family—Stephen, Peter, Paul, and Christina—to reflect on their upbringing, the values that have sustained them, and their vision for the future of the ranch as the next generation grows on the land.More than just a family history, this conversation offers an intimate look at the everyday realities of ranching in modern California—and a powerful reminder of what's at stake when we talk about protecting working lands and the people who steward them.Want to learn more?

Send us a textIn this third episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we're looking at failure through a new lens—what if it's not the end of your story, but the soil where growth begins? We know how shame loves to twist our stumbles into statements about our worth. But there's another voice—the voice of grace—that says, “Let's start again. I still trust you.” We share how our own mess-ups have become moments of mercy, and how Jesus, like He did with Peter, meets us not with rejection, but restoration.We also talk about boundaries—not as punishment, but as protection for what matters. From Proverbs 4:23, we uncover the idea of guarding what's precious, and how setting limits can help us walk in freedom. Whether it's resting, resisting unhealthy comforts, or filtering what voices we allow in, boundaries help create space for peace. And when we stumble, our “Look and Learn” tool helps us ask the right questions, process with God, and move forward with honesty and hope. We're not striving for perfection—we're learning to walk with Him, right in the middle of the mess.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this second episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we're digging into those nagging whispers—“you're too much” or “you're not enough”—that have shaped so much of how we see ourselves. But what if those labels never came from God? Starting with His question in Genesis 3:11, “Who told you that…?” we invite you to reflect with us on the origin of shame and how to gently dismantle it. Through our own stories and Scripture, we discover that we're not broken projects—we're God's poema from Ephesians 2:10: His intentional, beautiful workmanship.We also introduce practical tools like breath prayers, guided exercises, and we bring back a tried and true approach called “Look and Learn”—a five-question framework that helps us respond to failure with grace, not guilt. Instead of spiraling into shame, we're learning to get curious, notice our thoughts, and bring in truth. If the voice inside sounds more like a bully than our Shepherd, it's time to challenge it. Join us as we continue the journey of replacing old lies with God's words of peace and purpose.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

In this fascinating episode, we delve deep into the world of air-to-air (A2A) heat pump systems for domestic properties. We were incredibly fortunate to be joined by two distinguished guests: Es Tresidder, a consultant specialising in Passivhaus design and low-carbon building design optimisation, and Michael Cosham, a seasoned HVAC engineer with 47 years of invaluable experience.Our conversation began by exploring air-to-air systems in general, including Michael's personal experience building an A2A system for his first home on Canvey Island. Es then shared insights into the A2A system installed in his own highly efficient home, providing a real-world perspective on their performance.We thoroughly discussed the numerous advantages of A2A systems in domestic properties, highlighting their efficiency and effectiveness. We also touched upon some perceived disadvantages, but as our conversation unfolded, it became clear that many of these concerns, such as fan speeds, comfort, noise, and even dry skin issues, may be simple to resolve with proper system setup and design. Indeed, with the right configuration, these issues may not even exist. For more on this, and avoiding potential pitfalls, Es has provided these insightful articles:About overheating in low-energy buildings: https://www.highlandpassive.com/do-low-energy-buildings-have-an-overheating-problem/Understanding thermal comfort: https://www.highlandpassive.com/why-do-i-feel-chilly/A key takeaway from this episode was the remarkably low cost of A2A heat pumps, making them an increasingly attractive and accessible option for homeowners looking to embrace sustainable heating solutions.Join us for a truly enlightening discussion that challenges preconceptions and sheds light on the true potential of air-to-air heat pump technology.Support the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

Send us a textIn this final episode of our three-part series The Real Thing, we talk about something we often resist—God's holy disruptions. Using the story of Zacchaeus, we explore how Jesus didn't just stop by for a visit, but invited him into something lasting. The word used is meno—to abide—and it changes everything. This wasn't about tweaking a few behaviors; it was an invitation to step out of hiding and into real relationship.This was a difficult conversation to have. We share honestly about the struggle of letting go of control and embracing God's interruptions, including a tender story about a dog named Sevy. From the bleeding woman to Saul's blinding light, we reflect on how Jesus often disrupts before He restores. With breath prayers and practical tools, we invite you to consider where He might be gently disrupting your own “almost” life.
