We explore:*Why overstimulation is often a capacity issue*How noise, touch, screens, interruptions, and emotional demands affect your nervous system*Why Jesus honors human limits instead of shaming them*How to step away from the noise without abandoning the people you love*Why quiet, rest, and spaciousness are so importantGo Deeper:Episode 176: Intimacy with God in a Noisy World with Dr. Stephen MacchiaEpisode 122: Balancing Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health with John Mark Comer Learn more about your ad choices.

Proverbs 3:1-12 // Nathan MillerThe wisdom of Solomon in this passage offers a blueprint for a life of favor and success. This sermon dives into the tension between human logic and divine direction, emphasizing the command to acknowledge him in all our ways. We look at what it means to honor him with our wealth and the firstfruits of our crops, and why his discipline is actually a sign of his love. By understanding that his correction is like that of a father for a son he delights in, we can learn to lean into his guidance even when the path is difficult.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49620718 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.06.14

Send us Fan MailA tiny spiritual nudge can feel easy to dismiss, until you realize it might have been the exact help someone needed. I'm Todd, and I'm digging into a principle that has shaped my life: when we act on promptings from the Holy Ghost, we become more able to receive personal revelation. When we postpone, rationalize, or ignore those impressions, we can miss specific blessings and slowly lose spiritual sensitivity, even if we still have full agency to choose.We connect the dots across General Conference teachings from leaders like Elder David A. Bednar, Elder Richard G. Scott, and President Henry B. Eyring, plus scriptures that teach revelation comes line upon line. We talk about why God rarely gives a full map, why confirmation often comes after we start moving, and why writing down impressions can train your mind and heart to recognize God's hand more consistently. If you've ever thought, “Was that really the Spirit or just me?”, you'll find practical clarity here.I also share a personal story about acting on a prompting to make sure a needed blessing happened, along with a candid look at what it feels like to lose light through small choices and how to return to it step by step. In a world full of noise, opinions, and confusion, learning to recognize and act on spiritual promptings is not just inspiring, it's essential. Listen, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest question about personal revelation.Support the showYou can reach me anytime at email: tandrewsen.monat@gmail.comInstagram @toddtalks_ig

Jenn Johnson is a worship leader, songwriter, speaker, and co-founder of Bethel Music, where she serves as president. Jenn has helped shape modern worship through songs sung by churches worldwide, including “Goodness of God,” “Holy Forever,” and “The Blood.”We hope this conversation reminds worship leaders to remember what is true when they walk out to lead songs on Sunday: that it is not about what we do and how we perform, but striving to embody who God has said we are. She and Chris discuss identity, building community, mental, physical and spiritual health, and the quiet, hidden years that God uses to shape leaders. Resources for HAPPY by Jenn Johnson: https://www.multitracks.com/songs/Jenn-Johnson/HAPPY/Resources for Bethel Music: https://www.multitracks.com/artists/Bethel-Music/Follow us @multitracks // @multitracksgospel // @leadworshipwellwww.multitracks.com

Your soul is vital, and sometimes, it needs to be reset back to factory settings. Psalm 23 says a good Shepherd has to occasionally lead you to a place where your soul can be restored, a place of green pastures, still waters, and lying down. Why does a soul need restoring? Because you may have to walk through seasons of grief, have people who hurt you or just generally get beat up by the trials of life. Proverbs 4:23 — another famous verse — tells us to guard our hearts and says that it determines the course of your life. Biblically, your heart is your soul, which encompasses your mind, will, and emotions. If it is so important, why does the church only talk about saving souls rather than guarding or restoring souls? This week, we’re starting a new series about mental health called It Is Well With My Soul.

June arrives with a very different energy than May. If the past month felt intense, fast-moving, or emotionally charged, intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista says this month offers something many of us desperately need: space to slow down, reflect, and integrate. We're being invited to pause, review, and reconnect with what truly matters.In This Episode, We're Covering This + MoreThe lingering energy of the rare Sagittarius Blue Moon and what it revealed about your purpose, truth, and vision for the future.The powerful Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer and how it encourages deeper connection, family healing, self-care, and emotional expansion.Chiron, the "Wounded Healer," moves into Taurus on June 19, beginning a major collective healing cycle around self-worth, security, safety, money, and our relationship with the body.The Summer Solstice on June 21 and the beginning of Cancer Season—a time to reconnect with home, family, emotional nourishment, and the people who feel like family.Mercury Retrograde in Cancer (June 29–July 24) and how to work with this reflective period instead of fighting it.The Theme for June: CuriosityIf there's one word Stevie wants us to carry through June, it's curiosity. When emotions surface, old wounds are activated, or uncertainty arises, ask:What is this here to teach me?What perspective am I missing?How can I meet this moment with compassion instead of judgment?The biggest breakthroughs often come through the challenges. As Stevie reminds us, it's the difficult astrological aspects that move the needle and create lasting growth.MORE FROM STEVIE CALISTAWebsite: steviecalista.com https://steviecalista.comInstagram: @farmhousemoonSubstack: Letters From The Stars https://substack.com/@farmhousemoonMORE ON CHIRONRobyn references our conversation with clinical psychologist, astrologer, and Chiron expert Dr. Lisa Tahir, who integrates Chiron's wisdom into her therapeutic and healing work.

Luke likes to pause throughout the book of Acts to give these summary statements about the church, to share the condition of the church at that time. Tony sees five marks of a healthy church in this verse and wants us to see them - see them not just for the church corporate but for our own individual spiritual walks with Jesus.

In today's episode, we join Anna at the book launch of “Spiritual Health” written by Rachel Bedford.

Spiritual Health and Wellness With Chris Hinkley: A discussion of Daniel 2 and the progression of Gentile world empires.

In this episode, C.L. dives into the power of music and the impact it has on our hearts, minds, and souls. Sharing the 12 artists he's listened to the most over the past year, he reflects on how music shapes emotions, influences our thinking, and has played a powerful role throughout the Bible. If music is food for the soul, the question becomes: what are we feeding ourselves? Tune in for a quick, honest conversation and some encouragement to listen to Godly music.

April didn't just end…it shook things up. And now May is here, asking us to move forward without a roadmap. Intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista is back for her monthly forecast, and this month is all about transformation, identity shifts, and learning to ride the energy instead of fighting it. With Uranus freshly settled into Gemini and the year's first blue moon bookending the month, May is asking us to go deeper, plant new seeds, and stay curious about what's unfolding.We're officially in a new energetic chapter, one that's fast-moving, experimental, and yes… a little unpredictable.If you've been feeling like everything is shifting, changing, or unclear lately—you're not alone. And more importantly? You're right on time.Plus, the astrology "clickbait" circulating online — and why your full birth chart matters more than your sun sign alone.WHAT WE COVERWhy April's energy felt so intense—and how it's still unfoldingThe impact of Uranus moving into Gemini (think: mental shakeups + new ideas)Why 2026 is rooted in Aries + Gemini energy (aka: start before you're ready)The “in-between” phase: navigating old endings + new beginnings at the same timeWhat the Full Moon at the start of May is here to illuminateWhy this month is less about planning—and more about experimentingHow to work with the energy instead of feeling completely thrown by itHOW TO WORK WITH MAY'S ENERGYInstead of forcing clarity, try this:Follow what feels interesting (even if it doesn't “make sense” yet)Start something just because you want to—not because you know the outcomeLet yourself be a beginner againStay present (even when your brain wants a 10-step planThis is a month for planting seeds—not demanding results.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to find out about working with Stevie.Subscribe to Stevie's substack, "Letter from the Stars"Follow her @farmhousemoon Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

What if the very thing pushing you away from God isn't actually Him—but something (or someone) He warned you about?

In this powerful Easter episode of Compared to Who?, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and explore what it means for our weight-loss journey—and for our whole lives. Heather wraps up the Waiting for Weight Loss series by challenging listeners to rethink the stories they tell themselves about body image, freedom, and fulfillment. Are you waiting for a "glorious day" when the scale reflects your "enoughness"? Or are you ready to embrace the truth that the day that changes everything already happened 2,000 years ago? Discover why lasting contentment isn’t found in achieving earthly goals or hitting target weights, but in living out the freedom Jesus secured for us. The episode dives into the difference between temporary satisfaction and eternal significance, the pitfalls of idolizing physical health, and the transformation that comes when we reorder our desires around spiritual health. Looking for practical steps? Join the 40-Day Journey and grab the 40-Day Body Image Workbook at https://www.improvebodyimage.com/40-day-challenge You'll have opportunities to connect with others, and a call to start conversations that go deeper than diet talk.

Warning: This is a very deep and thought-provoking conversation about the root causes of cancer, healing, spirituality, and personal responsibility. In this conversation, Paul is not blaming or shaming anyone who is experiencing cancer. The goal of this discussion is to explore different perspectives on health, personal growth, emotional wellbeing, and lifestyle and to encourage people to think deeper about the connection between mind, body, spirit and environment. In this episode of the Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Paul Leendertse, founder of the Root Cause Institute, for a deep and thought-provoking conversation about spirituality, personal growth, and what he believes are the root causes of cancer. Paul shares his personal journey and how his understanding of spirituality has evolved over the years and moving beyond religion into a way of living that focuses on aligning your behaviors, beliefs, and desires with truth, responsibility, and love. He explains how this philosophy has shaped his work, his research, and his perspective on health and healing. The conversation also explores the idea of “being fruitful,” personal responsibility, emotional patterns, relationships, and how the way we live, think, and feel may have a far greater impact on our health than most people realize. This is not a surface-level conversation. This episode challenges you to think differently about health, healing, purpose, and the way you live your life.

If March felt like a push-pull…April is where things finally start to move.In this episode, intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista is back to break down the energy of April 2026—and let's just say…this month is not subtle.We kick things off with a Full Moon in Libra on April 1, bringing a spotlight to relationships, balance, and the dynamic between “me” and “we.” This is about getting honest with yourself about what feels aligned, what doesn't, and where something needs to shift.At the same time, we're all operating under the influence of Uranus in Taurus, which Stevie reminds us affects everyone. This is the deeper layer of the month—the part that's quietly (or not so quietly) shaking up your sense of stability, your values, and what you thought was “secure.”And here's the game-changer: There are no retrogrades in April. None.Everything is moving forward. Add in Mars moving into Aries—a sign it rules—and suddenly we're out of that stuck, treading-water feeling and into action, momentum, and “figure it out as you go” energy.This month may feel fast. It may feel activating. It may even feel a little uncomfortable at times. But as Stevie reminds us, that tension—especially in moments like the Venus-Pluto square—is what creates real change.Bottom line: You're not meant to stay where you were. April is here to move you forward—whether you feel ready or not. If you've been feeling stuck…this is where things start to shift.Get the scoop on what's really going on, and how to work with it.ABOUT STEVIE CALISTAStevie Calista is an intuitive astrologer who blends ancient wisdom with real-life practicality. Known for her grounded, soul-centered approach, Stevie helps people understand their charts, the collective energy, and how to navigate life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.MORE FROM STEVIE CALISTAVisit: steviecalista.comFollow on Instagram: @farmhousemoon Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

Spiritual Health and Wellness: Serious discussion with many clips and Chris Hinkley to close it out.

In this episode, Heather Creekmore continues the “Waiting for Weight Loss” series and dives deep into the challenge of getting out of your own head when it comes to body image struggles. Heather Creekmore shares a real, recent experience from her 20th wedding anniversary trip, revealing how old patterns of comparison, insecurity, and the “body image contest” can still crop up—even after years of working through these issues. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: A personal story of sitting by the pool and fighting the urge to compare and compete with other women. The realization that so much of our body image struggle happens in our minds, not just in our bodies. Encouragement to recognize and address underlying heart issues and how idolatry of body image can take hold. The importance of renewing your mind and aligning your thoughts with what God says about you—not repeating old, false narratives. Practical advice on examining your thought life, identifying lies, and experiencing true freedom in your relationship with your body. Key Takeaways: You’re not alone if you struggle with comparison and feeling measured against others—it’s a common experience. Healing and lasting freedom come from dealing with the roots in your heart and mind, not just changing your appearance. Most of the hurtful thoughts you have about your body may not even be true—and you don’t have to keep believing them. Real transformation happens in community, and it’s okay (even necessary!) to get help, find support, and renew your thinking. Call to Action: Ready to take the next step toward body image freedom?

Whatever is in our hearts will eventually come out of our mouths. We must fill our hearts with God's truth from Scripture so that when He presents us with an opportunity to speak to someone else about Him the things that we say will have His power behind it and it will make a change in their lives.

Heather Creekmore shares her own experiences with unsustainable health practices, lessons learned through her journey, and why so many common diet strategies fizzle out in the long run.
