Send a textWhen a student walked into the office during the pandemic asking whether his father would live long enough for a transplant, it exposed a gap many youth pastors feel but rarely name: we can teach Scripture and organize programs, but do we know how to shepherd teenagers when fear, grief, and uncertainty overwhelm them?We sit down with Dr. Randy Jackson to talk about a gospel-shaped approach to soul care that equips parents as the primary shapers of a teen's faith. We trace his journey from a pandemic crisis to building a practical framework that deepens conversations at home and in small groups and why equipping parents remains the most strategic work in student ministry.This episode offers practical tools for youth pastors, volunteers, and parents who want to move beyond behavior management and into Christ-centered care for the inner lives of teenagers.
Dr. Liza J. Rankow, author of Soul Medicine for a Fractured World, explores healing justice in a time of social and ecological upheaval. She names oppositional dualism and domination as the root fracture of our world and invites a shift toward lived non-duality as the ground of lasting transformation. The conversation touches the “crucible of the in-between,” apocalypse as death and renewal, grief as medicine, and the movement from commodified self-care to soul care rooted in spirit, community, and nature. The conversation emphasized deep listening, silence, and relationship with the living world. Today's episode closes with a simple guided breath practice for self, loved ones, and the world.

Is there something you've experienced that was so painful, you haven't been able to fully forgive?Living on this earth opens us up to ample opportunities tobe hurt, betrayed and even victimized. We all have had varying degrees of emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual pain, with the damage ranging from mild to life-altering, and devastating. The bigger the nightmare event in our lives, the harder it can be to forgive the perpetrators. We by nature maywant revenge, or to make our offenders "pay" and can hold onto anger, rage and bitterness knowingly or even unknowingly. We can't fully forgive in and of ourselves, without God.Fortunately, we serve a God that is well aware of our earthly struggles with forgiveness. God is not standing off in a corner of the room, judging us for our frail, and fragile hearts that war with what feels like letting someone off the hook. God, in His perfect love, has provided ways to walk through the forgiveness journey. Listen in today as Tiffany Jo Bakerspeaks with Mark Sowersby, the author of Forgiving the Nightmare which discusses the hidden hell that God brought him out of, and how he was able to forgive his abuser and the incredible freedom that was waiting for him on the other side.Listen in for:Why unforgiveness opens the door to satan's attacksHow God is waiting to walk you through the forgiveness journeyWays you can discover that you are truly forgiving and healingFavorite Quotes:"I didn't start this story or testimony by seeking forgiveness, I started it by seeking the Lord, and the Lord would bring me toforgiveness." - Mark Sowersby"It was God's words that became sweeter, and louder than my abuser's words." - Mark Sowersby"Forgiveness comes in waves, and seasons." - Mark SowersbyFavorite Scripture:"If you forgive others when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive them, your sins will not be forgiven." - Matthew 6:14-15To learn more about Mark Sowersby, his ministry and all ofhis resources, please visit http://www.forgivingthenightmare.com. *Want timely words, resources, and episodes delivered rightto your inbox to help you fuel and fulfill your faith journey?

"Springtime of the Soul: Care" (2-22-2026) - Rev. Mike Graves
Are you feeling disillusioned? Disappointed? Bitter? Sour? In this final installment of the Winter Soul Care Series, Alexander Blue Feather offers a powerful closing reflection on self-compassion as medicine for modern life. Opening with Rebecca Del Rio's poem Prescription for the Disillusioned, this episode explores how the overly critical mind contracts the soul. Be inspired to learn how compassion creates space for ripening, renewal and fresh beginnings. Drawing from Francis Weller's teachings on the “generous heart,” Alexander reflects on self-judgment, the muscular agenda of self-improvement, and the quiet violence we sometimes direct toward ourselves. Through personal story (including the one-year anniversary of his father's passing and a new chapter in South Bay) this episode becomes both teaching and testimony. What if the soul does not demand perfection or acceleration, but instead asks for mercy? What if compassion means “to suffer with," especially with yourself? This is an invitation to soften, to include your ancestors, to release rigid expectations, and to befriend your life as it is unfolding now. For spiritual explorers navigating grief, transition, and change, this episode offers a gentle and grounding prescription.
“Oversaturation is not the same thing as abundance.” - Alyson PryorIn this lenten episode of the pod, I am blessed to have been able to have this timely conversation with Alyson Pryor (who holds degrees in psychology from both the University of Southern California and Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot Seminary). Alyson currently serves as a staff spiritual director and adjunct faculty member at Biola University, from whence she was able to publish this brand new guide to spiritual retreats, Come Away & Rest. The book is not just an apologetic case for the idea of retreat, but an actual step-by-step guide to said retreats.I was so grateful to have been able to have access to Alyson's wisdom for this conversation, and I think you too will appreciate her insights into the good, bad, and ugly of retreating.BOOK INFO: https://www.ivpress.com/come-away-and-restEXCERPT: https://www.ivpress.com/Media/Default/Downloads/Excerpts-and-Samples/A1122-excerpt.pdfBIO: https://www.ivpress.com/alyson-pryorVISIT HER WEBSITE: https://alysonpryor.comChapters:00:00 - Opening03:30 - Alyson's Journey to Rest09:10 - Understanding Retreats in a Christian Context12:12 - Practical Elements of Retreats18:02 - The Call to Redemption and Personal Worth20:49 - The Journey of Rest and Intimacy with God23:40 - Creating Retreats: Structure and Support25:22 - The Importance of Content in Retreats28:23 - On-Ramps and Off-Ramps: Preparing for Retreats34:16 = Lent: A Season of Reflection and Preparation37:18 - Jesus as Our Model for Retreat and Resiliencekeywords: spiritual retreats, Christian practices, rest, Lent, personal growth, silence, solitude, spiritual direction, mindfulness, prayer(ai) summary: In this episode of the Jolly Thoughts podcast, Marc Jolicoeur and Alyson Pryor discuss the significance of spiritual retreats in the Christian faith, particularly in the context of Lent.

He talks about how grateful he is for the way tech lets this little “Fellowship of the Withered Hand” learn and pray together, and at the same time, he names the rising tide of loneliness, anxiety, and screen addiction shaping modern life. Drawing from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, John points out how especially hard this has become for young people.

Will called in to Talk To Me about his journey through deep betrayal by his best friend – someone he never imagined would hurt him. How do you walk through this kind of betrayal, when you've been completely blindsided? Today, we talk through his story of pain and friendship betrayal, and the number one thing that helped him move into healing: forgiveness. Forgiveness is an important people skill, because it untethers you from the pain that others have caused you – so that you can be free to move forward and not stay stuck.

In this episode, Natasha Felix continues the conversation on soul care by exploring what it looks like when caring for your soul becomes part of everyday life, not just something you turn to when you are tired or overwhelmed.This episode gently reframes self care through a faith-centred lens, showing how soul care brings deeper renewal, balance, and grounding. Natasha shares why caring for yourself is not selfish, how soul care helps you show up from a full place, and simple ways to live with more intention and alignment.A thoughtful episode for anyone seeking lasting renewal beyond rest, and a reminder that when the soul is cared for, everything else flows more naturally.
What do you think is the most important thing in life? Would it be what you do--- Your job? Maybe your accomplishments? Your Hard Work? Your reputation? All of that is what people see from the outside. Or would it be what happens on the inside---- That deep rooted growth that happens where no one really sees it-- it is invisible? I think it has to do with what happens in the inner part of our life. I love this quote, "The most important thing in your life is not what you do, but about who you become." Today, I am so excited to highlight this book, *Soul Keeping by John Ortberg. The subtitle says Caring for the Most Important Part of You. Our Soul! I know you are going to learn so much from John's book -- it is full of wisdom. I share about John Mark Comer's Book, *The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. My dad and I were both reading this book at the same time back in December 2024, so he was my podcast guest as we talked about this book.

As women, we have many roles — wife, mother, friend, business owner, and so much more. It's easy to fall into the habit of putting our own needs on the back burner to ensure everyone else we love is cared for. But the reality is that we can't pour for an empty cup, and putting everyone else's needs before our own leads to burnout. Today, I chat with Apolonia Cross all about this and the importance of prioritizing self care and soul care. While self care is a great way to pour back into yourself, you can't self-care your way out of burnout. We often need to work on what's going on internally and emotionally before we can even reap the benefits of self care.

In one of the most vulnerable conversations of the year, I sat down with Pastor Shawn Johnson and processed the moment that literally almost took his life -- the moment he broke mentally and emotionally. After suffering from intense and continuous panic attacks behind the scenes for many years, one day he could take it no more. Thank God he chose vulnerability in that dark and desperate moment, and reached out for help, because it was vulnerability: letting people in on his darkest moments, that ultimately saved his life. We spend some time talking about the series of events leading up to this dark season in his life, what kept him from opening up before this moment, and how he's keeping track of his mental health and well being today. If you suffer from mental illness, panic attacks, depression or anxiety -- his journey will truly challenge and inspire you to continue moving toward healing, and to learn to let people in.

We talk a lot about self care, but in this episode, Natasha Felix invites you to look deeper and consider soul care too.This conversation explores the difference between caring for your body and mind, and caring for your inner life. While self care helps you function and cope with daily demands, soul care helps you stay aligned, grounded, and connected to what truly matters.This episode is a gentle reminder that rest is important, but so is caring for your soul.
What do you do when your people pleasing tendencies continue to come up again and again? How do you navigate the desire to please people, but ultimately continue to strive to please God? Today, I talk to Judah Smith about his tendencies to care too much about what people think, and the self-serving, self-protecting, selfish nature behind being a person who cares too much about what people think. We unpack the idea that ultimately, the root of people-pleasing is actually selfish -- because it's the desire to be wanted, loved, accepted, and validated -- is actually a desire to meet a deep, unquenchable need in us. If you struggle with people-pleasing, you need to tune in to this one.

What if we would invite Jesus into our yearly goal andplanning times? Most of us think about resolutions and goal-setting around this time of year. We look back at what we did and did not accomplish. We decide what worked well for the year and what did not. It's a good and healthy thing to look at the new year and set new goals. However, let's be honest, who is in charge and knows the ins and outs of the year and calendar we are creating? We need to ask Holy Spirit for His wisdom and His guidancein all things, but definitely including our yearly planning. There could be many things that God wants you to do for the following year and He knows what is in store.

In this episode of Viral Mindfulness, I explore the gift of restraint as a powerful and often overlooked soul practice. Drawing from Francis Weller's teachings, this fourth installment of the Winter's Edge Soul Care series invites us to slow down, hold back, and allow insights, grief, creativity, and longing to ripen rather than rush toward expression or consumption. We reflect on restraint as both an internal practice—pausing, containing, and listening—and an external one that honors our interdependence with others, the planet, and the commons. In a culture shaped by excess, immediacy, and accumulation, restraint becomes a radical act of care, humility, and wisdom. This episode is an invitation to let less become enough—and to discover what wants to emerge when we allow things to cook in their own time.

We know God's heart is for a healthy marriage, but what happens when life has other plans? Today, I sit down with Lysa Terkeurst and unpack the series of events and discoveries leading up to the letting go of her marriage. She shares what she's learned along the way about boundaries, and her tendency to do more than her fair share of work in a relationship. We get to the root of the why, and what made her susceptible to this type of relational dynamic -- and ultimately, how she found healing in spite of it all.

The principal focus of this podcast episode revolves around the critical importance of soul care, particularly for leaders navigating the complexities of their roles. Our distinguished guest, Mindy Caliguire, a prominent figure in the realm of spiritual formation, shares profound insights into the necessity of understanding the state of one's soul amidst the demands of leadership. Throughout our conversation, we explore the tendency of leaders to prioritize a superficial sense of happiness over authentic emotional experiences, which can hinder genuine healing and growth. Mindy articulates the concept of "spiritual bypassing," wherein individuals attempt to evade painful emotions by resorting to platitudes or quick fixes, ultimately depriving themselves of the opportunity for deeper healing. This episode serves as a clarion call for leaders to cultivate environments where vulnerability is welcomed and where true spiritual connection can flourish, thereby fostering resilience and holistic well-being in their personal and professional lives.Takeaways: The state of one's soul is crucial for effective leadership and personal health. Leaders often struggle to allow others to experience their full range of emotions. True healing requires walking through painful experiences rather than avoiding them. Spiritual friendships are essential for personal growth and community support. We must challenge the notion that leaders should always maintain a happy facade. Recognizing the importance of humility helps leaders connect authentically with others.
In this fascinating episode, Reagan invites Dr. Rob Reimer back to explore the topic of prophecy, dreams and what baptism or fillings of the Holy Spirit really mean. They discuss personal encounters with God, and the workings of the Holy Spirit in a believers life. Rob shares insights from his book 'River Dwellers', discussing how to dwell in God's presence and the importance of prophecy in the New Testament. They delve into practical ways to hear God's voice and the significance of compassion in ministry, emphasizing the transformative power of God's love and the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit to further the Kingdom.Dr. Rob shares profound personal experiences of how prayer, and the role of dreams as divine communication impacted his life. They discuss the emotional and spiritual states associated with being in step with the Holy Spirit, the challenges of maintaining that connection amidst life's burdens, and the importance of repentance when we are out of step with the Spirit. The dialogue emphasizes the need for intimacy with God and the transformative power of living as 'river dwellers' filled with the Spirit.Become Part of Our Mission!

"I've always just wanted to be accepted". I think many of us can relate to that sentiment. Max Lucado certainly could. Much of his life was spent feeling "on the outside" and wanting to be accepted, which led to a series of unhealthy behaviors just to try and find acceptance. Today, he vulnerably unpacks where this belief system started in his childhood, how it led him down a very unhealthy path, and how it still creeps into his life, even though he's been walking with Jesus for so many years. This is one of my favorite on-air sessions, with one of my favorite people. I know it will challenge and change you.

When it comes to understanding that demons are real and can be attached to a human, our brains quickly try to make sense of this information. One of the quickest ways for us to wrap our brains around this fact is to believe that there are certain types of people who are affected. We feel a little less threatened when we consider that demons only mess with people who are looking for them or dabbling in demonic things. Well, the reality is this: everyone can be affected by demons, and many are affected by no fault of their own. It is no secret that satan is no gentleman and couldn't care less about what is fair. He preys on the most vulnerable, like the youngest and the oldest in our society and those whose ancestors opened the door to him. He goes for the weak, disabled, and those most unprotected. This is why it is not uncommon to come in contact with those being influenced or tormented by demons. If you live in this fallen world, then you are susceptible, and that is not to induce fear, that is just reality. However, God has provided His Word, His power, His anointing, and His people to set those in bondage free. Listen in today to part 2 of Tiffany Jo Baker speaking with Mark Vanderlip, a man who stepped down from a professional counseling profession in order to bring deliverance to those who are demonically bound. Find out how easy it is to discover if a demon is wreaking havoc on your mind, body, family, and life. Learn how God has made a way for the most ordinary people to be warriors for the Lord in the area of deliverance and inner healing.Listen in for:• How we come in contact with people oppressed by demons• Ways to discover if you are dealing with a demon• When it becomes necessary to get help• Why deliverance can be necessary for ALL of us at some pointFavorite Quotes:"The demons are the ones terrified of you, when they are trying to convince you that you should be afraid of them." - Mark Vanderlip"Jesus doesn't want us to get used to what we're dealing with." - Tiffany Jo Baker"The first thing is to start recognizing thoughts that aren't yours, the biggest game plan the enemy has is for us to hide." - Mark VanderlipFavorite Scripture:"Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest." - Proverbs 26:2You can find out more about Mark Vanderlip, his ministrywork, resources and services at https://www.markvanderlip.com/ . *Want timely words, resources, and episodes delivered right to your inbox to help you fuel and fulfill your faith journey?

We tend to divide our experience into two parts, which we usually name ‘good' and ‘bad'. And we do so for good reason - to belong in our family systems and communities, to keep a particular image or identity going, because we are afraid of what and what we will be if we let love, or joy, or anger, or longing touch us. But the cost is high - in realness, in capacity to bringing our gifts to the world, in our fully taking up the possibilities of this one precious life. So how might we welcome and reinclude that which has been split off? And how might we do so in a way that is life-giving, mature, and responsive to our cares, concerns and commitments?

Here's our source for this week: Undividing Ourselves We all tend to divide experience into two parts, usually the good and the bad. But there may be all kinds of suspicious things going on in this splitting. We may simply have never considered the value in certain things we reject. Or by branding certain experiences as negative, we may be protecting ourselves from some unknown fears. We are all filled with biases and ideas that have snuck into us without our knowing it. Much soul can be lost in such splitting, so that care of the soul can go a long way simply by recovering some of this material that has been cut off.

We're spending the last few weeks of 2025 reviewing our TOP 5 MOST DOWNLOADED episodes! Why do so many Christians struggle with boundaries? We are taught that boundaries are wrong, sinful, or selfish — and that we should always say YES and be ready to sacrifice and serve at a moment's notice. But is this really the way of Jesus? Or could this lead us down a path of emotional burnout, codependency, and unhealthy relationships? Today, we have an on-air counseling session with my friend, Bianca Olthoff. Bianca has been on the podcast before, processing pain from the past (listen here if you missed it!) but today we dive into the topic of BOUNDARIES and learning to protect your heart and calling. Bianca shares how she lived so many years with low to no boundaries, and the damage that caused in her life and in her relationships. We talk about her childhood, and how the concept of low boundaries began to take root in her life…and followed her into adulthood. If boundaries have been a weakness for you, you HAVE TO make time to listen to this episode from start to finish! Setting healthy boundaries is the Jesus way. Find out how!

We're spending the last few weeks of 2025 reviewing our TOP 5 MOST DOWNLOADED episodes! We often talk about letting go of the negative labels that people have put on us... but what about the positive ones? What happens when our entire identity is built on the success we achieve in this world... And then we have to lay it all down? Today on the podcast, I have an on-air counseling session with Demi Leigh Tebow, as she opens up about the struggle and depression she felt laying down the crown of Miss Universe... and realizing how much her identity was found in unreliable things. We trace this "self sufficiency" back to her childhood, and unpack some of the patterns that led her to that difficult place ... and the lessons she has learned and continues to learn in placing her identity in Christ alone. There is no label bad enough or great enough worth holding onto ... except what Jesus says. This conversation was so good, and I know you are going to love it as well.
