As Christians, we believe in prayer, we believe that God can heal us, and we believe that He is able to heal…so when do we make the choice to take medication to help us with our mental health struggles? What are the signs and symptoms to know it's time to consider the help of medicine?

Today on the show, Alison talks to me about the fact that she finds herself saying “YES” to the needs and requests of others, when she really should be saying no, because she doesn't have the bandwidth or capacity to do it, and she finds herself bitter, burnout, and resentful.

In today's conversation, we received wisdom and insight from Dr. Steve Porter about all things spiritual formation and transformation – in personal, pastoral and church contexts. Steve's work at the intersection of philosophy, theology and psychology means that he brings multilayered insight into the conversation around growth and transformation. Shaped and informed by the spirituality of Paul and the insight of folks like Dallas Willard and Eugene Peterson, Steve reminds us of the spiritual realities available to us as persons in Christ. He encourages us to be aware of God's presence, engaging in spiritual practices as windows that open ourselves to God. He also shares how we can internalize the love of God and how we as the church can support one another in making the invisible love of God visible and tangible, especially if we have struggled to experience that love in human relationships. We're excited that Steve will be joining us at Regent in the summer to teach a class on Cultivating Formation-Minded Pastors and Churches (July 21-25). We'd love for you to join us!BioDr. Steven L. Porter is the Senior Research Fellow and Executive Director of the Martin Institute for Christianity and Culture at Westmont College. He is also an affiliate professor of theology and spiritual formation at Biola University's Institute for Spiritual Formation and Rosemead School of Psychology. Dr. Porter earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Southern California under the mentorship of Dallas Willard and holds an M.Phil. in philosophical theology from the University of Oxford. His academic work focuses on Christian spiritual formation, the doctrine of sanctification, and the integration of psychology and theology.

Let's be honest. It's easy to trade attunement with Jesus and others for the low-hanging distraction of a screen. Smartphones aren't sinful and digital devices aren't all bad. But our compulsion to overuse technology says something about our souls — all of us long for loving connection with God and others. Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the spiritual and psychological damage you experience from too much screen time. You won't be “shamed” into changing your technology habits. Instead, you'll be equipped with soul care practices to help you detach from your phone and attach to Abba and his best life for you.Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding Institute RetreatIgnatian Meditation GuidesSabbatical GuideMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

On this episode of Couples Therapy, I sit down with my friends and pastors Irene and Jimmy Rollins who are in a seriously stressful season of life right now, which is starting to impact their marriage. The build-up of stress has caused new tensions, and without the old unhealthy coping skills of addiction to default to — they're having to pave a new path this time around. We talk through the stress they're facing, and how they can actually help one another — by learning what it truly means to help themselves. It's an eye-opening conversation for married couples about the possibility of developing codependency in marriage, and an important reminder about how continuing to focus on individual healing will always overflow into marriage.

My name is Kelly Arabie. I'm one of the team members here at Beyond Ordinary Women, and today we are talking with Debbie Swindoll of Grafted Life Ministries. Along with her husband Kurt, Debbie founded Grafted Life and serves as the Executive Director and the director of Church Formation. Debbie graduated with a Masters in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute of Spiritual Formation at Talbot Seminary and Biola University. Debbie also serves as the Spiritual Formation Pastor at her church, Journey Community Church. Debbie, welcome. We are so happy to have you. Debbie >> Thank you. It's a long thing there. I'm getting older. I'm old now. Kelly >> No. Debbie previously spoke with Kay about Reimagining Discipleship. And so I want to encourage our listeners to go ahead (and we'll talk about that more at the end) but listen to that video as well. That will give you an introduction to our topic today. Today we are talking about effective discipleship. Deb, why don't you start with telling us a little bit about the Ministry of Grafted Life. Debbie >> Well, we started Grafted Life in 2010 and it was a bunch of colleagues of mine that had degrees in spiritual formation, which is kind of another word for discipleship, or how people grow, how we're formed as Christians. And we really had heart for the church. We'd gone to this graduate program and we'd experienced a lot of life change and we'd seen people change significantly. And yet we knew that everybody can't go to a graduate program. Everybody can't go to seminary. And so what, what could we bring back to the church that would maybe be more effective, more meaningful, more transformational for people in their lives and in their growth, in their spiritual growth. So we started really praying into that and thinking about it. We ended up developing some curricula and also starting an association for spiritual directors that could really serve people in the church and come alongside them in their spiritual growth. Kelly >> So as today we're talking about effective discipleship, what in your definition is effective? Debbie >> Okay, that's a really good question because I'm not sure when we think about discipleship, we always think about effective. You know, if you just look up in the dictionary, what is effective,

Have you ever wondered, “Why do we keep having the same fight?” Today on Talk To Me, I have an on-air Couples Therapy session with Jeff and Michelle who don't understand why, after all of their years in marriage ministry and helping other couples, they can't seem to help themselves. They keep having the same fight over and over again (and you'll be surprised when you find out what it's about). I help them get to the roots of the reason why, and give them a plan to move forward. It's a really important session to listen to if you're struggling with the same cycle of conflict over and over again. You can also watch the full episode on YouTube.

We're all here! It's not easy getting us all in the same room these days, with schedules, work, wildfires, and Brock going to Disneyland. But we did it. And we had a great conversation about our own spiritual rhythms and practices. It's not easy staying in tune with God when the world is in chaos and our lives are full of demands. But it's also not optional. How else will we survive these troubled times, and pass on healthy spiritual lives to our students?The goal: To be able to tell students, “Watch me, and do as I do.”Mentioned in this episode:Lectio 365https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-365/Bible in One Year https://bibleinoneyear.orgDallas Willard Abraham Heschel DisneylandGive us a 5-star review on iTunes.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/youth-ministry-sherpas-coast-to-coast/id1333665959We are proud members of the Download Youth Ministry Podcast Network https://www.downloadyouthministry.com Watch us on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@youthministrysherpasC2C Follow us on Instagram!Email us at youthministrysherpas@gmail.com

Do things have to be just right? Or maybe you want things to be done your way, right away? If so, you may struggle with perfectionism. You wouldn't be alone in that confession, since many of us are in the same boat. There is a lot that accompanies perfectionism and performanicsm. The need for control can rob us of so many things. The need to be perfect and always get things perfect can make you feel like you are drowning in quicksand with a weight tied to your ankles, but you can be free from it. Join Tiffany Jo Baker and author and missionary Rachel Jobe, as they share about their journeys of freedom from perfectionism. Listen in for:·     How perfectionism can be overcome ·     What we should be working towards that isn't perfection·     Why God wants you to release control so you can be free Favorite Quotes:"My value was not in my performance." - Rachel Jobe "Perfectionism is a cheap counterfeit to true excellence." - Rachel Jobe"Excellence comes from living out of the right life source and abiding in the vine." - Rachel Jobe  Favorite Scriptures:"Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23 Find out about Rachel Jobe's new book "Let Go!" and all the things she and her husband have going on in ministry here: https://www.jimandrachel.org  *If you're looking for perfectly polished people or podcasts, this isn't for you.

In this episode, Tim Foot is joined by Mindy Caliguire, co-founder and president of Soul Care, to tackle the often-overlooked need for soul care among leaders. Together, they discuss the six key practices outlined in Mindy's book, Ignite Your Soul, and how these practices can restore leaders facing burnout and deepen their relationship with God.

What do you do after you crash & burn from burnout?  I was talking with a girlfriend the other morning over coffee and we realized it's not “have you experienced burnout” it's “what did it look like?” When I look back at the time I've run into that issue I can point back to being either hurt, depleted of energy, giving more than I really had to give OR I'm giving something my all and things don't seem to be successful and I become apathetic, jaded, exhausted... So it's not only a question of "how did I get here?" It's also a question of "how do I get out of it? And how can I avoid this again in the future?" My guest for this episode was the author of a book that spurred on these questions for me as I read it alongside my mom book club recently. Debra Fileta wrote “Soul Care” and it's about finding life-giving rhythms, live restored, avoiding burnout and discovering unspeakable joy.  Some of my favorite quotes from the book... “Burnout is the body's way of crying out for us to pay attention. It's the SOS signal from our nervous system telling us to stop and care for ourselves. But rather than see the signs of burnout as a signal to stop and fill up, so many people do the exact opposite - they try to push through” “Whether we're self-absorbed or self-neglecting, we will end up becoming the center of our own worlds.” “When you're drained, empty and depleted what do you run to? Most often our method is the thing we do as quickly as possible with whatever is available around us...But let me assure you that is the exact opposite of soul care, because soul care is intentional and thought out”  Learn more about your ad choices.
