Send us a textIn this episode, we wrestle with the question, “Is overeating a sin?” and talk about how God isn't counting bites, but instead inviting our hearts to trust Him more. We look at what Scripture actually says about gluttony, condemnation, and freedom in Christ by drawing from Proverbs, Philippians, Romans 14, and Romans 8. Together, we share real-life moments—like enjoying too much food at a party or stress-eating after a hard day—and show how these don't have to lead to shame. Instead, we encourage a posture of “look and learn,” asking honest questions like, “Am I seeking comfort in food or in God?”We also share practical tools that help shift our focus from rules to relationship with God: building a God List from Scripture, throwing a quick praise fest to reset, practicing gratitude to move from scarcity to sufficiency, and using breath prayers to center our hearts. These rhythms are not about policing your plate, but about steadying your soul so you can notice God's gentle leadership in each moment. Our hope is to help you trade guilt for grace and find freedom meal by meal.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

At the Rangeland Trust, we're rooted in conserving California's working lands through voluntary conservation easements—but just as vital is our commitment to supporting the ranchers who care for these lands every day. Yet today's producers face increasing challenges—from shrinking markets and limited processing options to regulatory pressures and the spread of misinformation—that threaten the future of ranching as we know it.But as public interest in strengthening local food systems grows, so does the movement to stand behind our ranchers. Across the state, organizations are stepping up to build connections, strengthen local food systems, and create lasting solutions through collaboration.In this episode, Rangeland Trust CEO and host, Michael Delbar, sits down with Michael Dimock, Executive Director of Roots of Change, to discuss how these partnerships are helping bridge divides, address challenges facing producers, and empower the next generation of ranchers.Want to learn more?

Send us a textIn this episode, we ask an honest question: is the real issue about losing weight, or about why we want to lose it? We share personal stories—from the stage to the infusion center—about how numbers can become idols, how church culture sometimes mirrors the world's standards, and how our bodies carry layered stories of illness, medication, and seasons of life. Together, we turn to Scripture for clarity: Romans 12:2 calls for renewal, not conformity; 1 Samuel 16:7 points us back to the heart over appearance; and 1 Corinthians 6 reframes ownership, not aesthetics.We explore how  the size of your body or number on the scale can get treated like a virtue and shift the conversation to motives—stewardship instead of insecurity, service instead of striving. We offer reflection prompts, identity truths to replace shame, and practical ways to reframe body stewardship around peace and function rather than optics. With compassion, we name the complexity of real bodies shaped by trauma, treatment, and hormones, and remind one another that worth can't be measured by a number. Our hope is to invite listeners into freedom—where the mind of Christ guides our goals and joy is no longer held hostage by a scale.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk about how real change doesn't begin with food rules or iron willpower, but with what's happening in our minds before a craving even hits. We open Romans 12:2, Romans 8, and Colossians 2 to show how renewing the mind reshapes our desires at the root, breaking the old cycle of restriction, rebellion, and shame. Together, we share how God does the lasting work as we choose new thought patterns and take a gentler, steadier path toward freedom.We also get very practical. We walk through identifying the thought before the craving, uncovering the belief behind the action, and using tools that meet real-life triggers like stress, comparison, or tough relationships. From the God List and quick Praise Fests to personalizing Scripture and using a Truth List, we show how to create new mental grooves that stick. With Look & Learn, we replace condemnation with curiosity, so stumbles become lessons. Our five-minute challenge helps you pause, renew your mind, and ask for God's perspective in the moment—building a lifestyle of peace, clarity, and sustainable change.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textWhat drives your everyday choices? For many of us, particularly when it comes to food and our bodies, the answer involves some combination of guilt, shame, comparison, and a desperate desire to measure up. We've spent years caught in cycles of dieting, comparison, and feeling like our bodies—and our choices—were never enough. Guilt and shame often drove what we ate or how we cared for ourselves, and deep down, we carried the heavy belief that God was disappointed in us. In this episode, we share how our perspective shifted when we began to see God's true character: loving, kind, and full of delight in us. When we stopped trying to perform and instead leaned into His grace, our choices around food and self-care became acts of worship rather than burdens.Together, we talk honestly about how moving from duty to delight changes everything—not just how we eat, but how we live. Instead of chasing perfection, we've learned to embrace practices like gratitude and praise that reframe even ordinary moments. This way of living brings freedom, joy, and a new sense of purpose. We hope you'll join us in discovering how your body, your eating, and your daily choices can reflect God's goodness—not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you belong to.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

This conversation, with Sheikh Adeyinka Mendes and hostess Sara Jolena Wolcott, explores the themes of remembering, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of humanity. We delve into the significance of ReMembering Divine Love in spiritual practices, the role of land in shaping identity, and the importance of forgiveness in personal and collective narratives. Through the lens of different religious traditions, especially Islam, we discuss the journey of self-discovery, the importance of continuing to stand for justice across ecosystems especially in the face of horrific genocides, and America as a gathering place for diverse cultures. The conversation culminates in the powerful story of Joseph, illustrating the transformative power of trials and the necessity of forgiveness.00:00 - What are you ReMembering?09:27 - Transcendent Experiences and Spiritual Awakening27:04  - The Role of Land in Spiritual Journeys38:12 - Reclaiming Cultural Roots and Reciprocity40:58 - Justice... and Prophecies of America49:01 - Gathering of Nations: Crafting Collective Consciousness57:10 - The Role of Forgiveness in Healing01:00:02 - The Story of Joseph: Lessons in TransformationFollow Adeyinka on:Instagram: @adeyinka.mendesFacebook: @imammendesWebsite: www.adeyinkamendes.comSend us a messageSupport the showLearn more about Sara Jolena Wolcott and Sequoia SamanvayaMusic Title: Both of Us Music by: madiRFAN Don't forget to "like" and share this episode!

Send us a textWe've both known the heavy weight of shame—the kind that tells you not just that you've failed, but that you are a failure. In this episode, we open up about how shame has tried to define us and how God's Word gives us a different story. Hebrews 12:2 shows us how Jesus “scorned” shame as He faced the cross, counting it insignificant compared to the joy before Him. That perspective gives us hope too. We talk about the different places shame comes from—our own mistakes, wounds from others, or lies we've believed—and how speaking truth to our souls, like the psalmist in Psalm 42–43, can break shame's grip.We also walk through a practical five-step process that's been life-changing for us: bringing shame into the light, asking God to reveal its roots, confessing or releasing it, replacing the lies with His truth, and finally, praising Him for the exchange. We share real tools—like creating “truth lists” from Scripture and journaling exercises—that have helped us move from shame toward freedom. Our heart is for you to know this: shame doesn't get the last word in your story. In Christ, you can exchange shame for joy, ashes for beauty, and captivity for freedom.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Send us a textAs we reflect on Peter's story, we see ourselves in his struggle. He promised loyalty to Jesus, only to fail when the pressure rose. That moment of brokenness—when the rooster crowed and Jesus looked at him—reminds us of the times we've denied or distanced ourselves from God. But what grips us isn't Peter's failure; it's Jesus's response. After the resurrection, instead of rebuke, Jesus made breakfast on the shore. With each “Do you love me?” came not condemnation, but restoration. That same love and calling is offered to us, no matter how many times we've fallen.For us, repentance isn't about wallowing in shame, but turning back to love. The Greek word  "metánoia" points to a change of heart, a reorientation toward relationship, not self-punishment. Jesus's kindness invites us out of regret and into renewed purpose. We've learned to “Look and Learn”—to bring our failures honestly before God, not to feel worse, but to experience restoration. Whatever burdens we carry, Jesus meets us like he met Peter—welcoming us back with compassion and reminding us we're never too far gone.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

At the Rangeland Trust, conserving California's working landscapes means more than protecting open space—it also means preserving the stories of the people who steward them. Ranching families carry generations of knowledge, resilience, and tradition, and if those stories aren't shared, they risk being lost.In this episode, we highlight Roots and Resilience: California Ranchers in Their Own Words, a book that brings together the voices of ranching families from across the state through stories, poems, and essays. Host and CEO of the Rangeland Trust, Michael Delbar, is joined by Dr. Susan Marshall, Emeritus Professor at Cal Poly Humboldt and the editor who brought this project to life, to discuss her inspiration, the editing journey, and what she hopes people will gain from reading the book.As a bonus, we also hear from contributor and Rangeland Trust Legacy Council Chair, Jessica Schley. Jessica reflects on her family's ranching history and how the loss of their family's property inspires her work today and fuels her support of the Rangeland Trust. As a special treat, she reads an excerpt from her piece in the book—bringing her words and perspective to life in a way only she can.When you purchase a copy of Roots and Resilience, a portion of the proceeds directly supports the California Rangeland Trust and our mission to protect the state's working landscapes for generations to come.

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

If you've ever struggled with self-doubt yourself, you know how hard it is to watch your child go through the same thing.

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.

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 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
