Why Are We So Lonely Even When We're Not Alone?   Host Curtis Chang talks with psychologist and podcaster Dr. Alison Cook about why America's loneliness epidemic can't be solved by simply adding more people to our lives. They explore how attachment wounds, anxiety, distraction, and modern life leave us disconnected—and how solitude and honest prayer can become paths toward healing. Dr. Cook offers a practice for loneliness: "recognize and return"—name what you feel, then remember, "I am loved even here."   02:46 - Why Do We Minimize Loneliness? 05:12 - What Is Attachment Theory? 10:31 - Childhood Wounds and Cultural Context 13:42 - Where God Enters the Healing Process 16:14 - The Inner Dialogue with God 20:44 - The Importance of Solitude 27:20 - The Modern Epidemic of Loneliness 35:16 - Loneliness as a Holy Longing 39:22 - Spiritual Practices for a Healthy Inner Life   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate   Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Cook's The Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy The U.S. Surgeon General's report: Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation Professor Irvin D.

In this episode with Natalia Terfa we talk about her book It All Counts, why questions deepen faith instead of eroding it, how to tell human authority from God's, what love looks like when a protest turns ugly, and why the prosperity gospel falls apart at a child's funeral. We get into loneliness and the risk community asks of us, the incarnation as an argument for the goodness of bodies, and how breath and creation return us to who we are.Natalia is a Lutheran pastor, podcaster, and author who lives in Minneapolis with her her loves, Sam and Layla, and kitty babies.

This conversation with bestselling author Elise Loehnen explores how spiritual practice can help us question the beliefs we've inherited about being a "good woman." Krista + Elise unpack shame, envy, comparison, and desire, revealing how these patterns shape our lives—and how spirituality can become a path back to authenticity. Together, they explore the misunderstood story of Mary Magdalene, the origins of the seven deadly sins, and why emotions like envy, anger, and longing aren't flaws to overcome but invitations to deeper self-understanding. Elise shares how questioning old narratives can become one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have. From body image + ambition to belonging + purpose, this conversation invites you to rethink the rules you've inherited and embrace a more intentional way of living. If you've ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to be "good" to be worthy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spirituality, freedom, and self-worth. We also talk about: The truth about Mary Magdalene that history left out How the "good girl" script shows up in everyday life Why envy is pointing you toward your next chapter Releasing guilt around desire, ambition, and wanting more Healing your relationship with food + your body The emotional cost of comparison + perfectionism How shame disconnects us from our intuition Choosing depth over performance in the age of social media Finding freedom beyond society's expectations Why your triggers may be your greatest teachers Resources: Instagram: @eliseloehnen Substack: eliseloehnen.substack.com Book: https://a.co/d/0hlAvZYx Sponsors: Naturium | Give your skin the affordable, luxurious glow up it deserves.

There are times when we take our bodies for granted... abusing them with lengthy to-do lists of tasks that test the limits of our capacity. We go about our lives as if the “vessels” we have been given are unshakable, unbreakable, and without limits. How often do we thank others for the things they do for us, yet forget to take time to thank our bodies for getting us through the day? Join host Shannon McAdam for a blessing of the body. Take time to acknowledge and give thanks for the body you have been given, while allowing it a moment or two to rest and be blessed. Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary: Prayers, Poems, and Reflections for Every Season, (Ave Maria Press, 2011). Listen to other Episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series.  Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Religious-ethics scholar Liz Bucar, author of Beyond Wellness, joins us to discuss the religious roots of wellness practices, why bringing religion back into “spiritual” wellness spaces might be the key to promoting true well-being (even for non-religious people), and how the very human need for control shows up in diet and wellness culture. For paid subscribers, we do a deeper dive into how religion has contributed to Americans' troubled relationship with food and how religious foodways can also help us heal from diet culture, with some detours into the longevity movement, GLP-1s and the thin ideal, and more.   Liz Bucar is a religious ethicist and professor of religion at Northeastern University, as well as a certified intenSati and Kripalu yoga instructor and the author of the new book Beyond Wellness. Her popular writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, and The Wall Street Journal, and she is the author of four books, including the award-winning Stealing My Religion and Pious Fashion.

Becky McCoy knows a thing or two about being weary. Her story winds through years of striving, widowhood, long Covid, depression, and single parenting. In the midst of seasons of real suffering, she longed to connect more deeply with God. Yet so many books on spiritual practices told her to do more or try harder or just make time.What if there was a better way?McCoy turned to the ancient rhythms of the church to find grace and connection in seasons of her own upheaval. If you, like me, resonate with longing for a faith that is about being with rather than doing for, you will love her new book, In the Company of the Weary.Becky and I talked about everything from the hope we've encountered in understanding the gentleness of Jesus, birdwatching during the pandemic, puffins (PUFFINS!), and the grace of paying attention.Plus, some rad spiritual practices I'd never really explored before. (Visio divina? Rule of life? Tell me more!)McCoy is a kind, wise guide and I can't wait to share this conversation with you today.What about you—do you have a favorite spiritual practice? I'd love to hear about it! Get full access to Keep Looking Up at courtneyellis.substack.com/subscribe

What Does a Spiritual Seeker Need to Know? In this episode of the LunaHolistic Podcast, host Angela Hoogeveen interviews Reiki Master and spiritual teacher Geneva Robins about a powerful opening of her channel—and the channelled message she received on one big question: “What is the most important information for a spiritual seeker to know?” What unfolds is part personal story, part spiritual teaching, and part live channelling session infused with Reiki energy, compassion, and grounded wisdom for anyone on a path of healing, self-development, and spiritual awakening.

Book a session in our Jane app. Learn more about how Reiki works in this article: "What is involved for in-person Reiki Sessions?"   What Is Channelling? (And How Reiki Helps) Geneva begins by sharing how she experiences channelling: For her, channelling means “connecting to source,” which includes beings of light like angels, guides, spiritual mentors, Ascended Masters, and the consciousness of “the all that is”. This is “the Team” that speaks in the channelled messages. She explains that mediumship is about connecting to loved ones who have passed away, while channelling is about connecting to source, the divine, or higher consciousness. Because she has practiced Reiki for many years, Reiki opened her energy channel and sensitivity. The energy she feels is rich with information. Over time, she learned to decode it. For many years, Geneva channelled mostly through writing with her Team to achieve the greatest clarity in the messages. Recently, she skipped the writing part and now delivers messages directly, creating a more natural dialogue and faster process for clients and students.   The Vertigo that Changed Everything Geneva shares a deeply personal story of how her channel opened further after an intense health experience. After a round of enthusiastic gardening, she developed severe vertigo. Vertigo made it difficult to write by hand or type, as every movement caused more dizziness. It was also an unexpected gift of stillness and mindfulness, creating an even deeper spiritual connection. Unable to write comfortably, she began speaking into her phone and noticed clear guidance coming through. This was the beginning of speaking channelling out loud. Alongside the physical symptoms, the vertigo initiated intensive healing around people-pleasing and learning to be comfortable with others' discomfort. It was fast training in alignment with her soul, spiritual honesty, and acting only on what is truly aligned. From her divine team's perspective, the vertigo became an elegant way to train her to stop over-fixing and over-helping, let others have their own discomfort and growth, and ask for more help when she physically cannot do everything herself.   How Geneva Channels: Safety, Reiki, and Process Before she begins channelling, Geneva explains her approach, which may help reassure anyone who is curious or cautious about this kind of work: She only connects to the highest energy. Reiki acts as a steady, pure, unchanging source of high vibration frequency. She brings in Reiki symbols and energy, sets the intention for clarity, benefit, and safety for all, and anchors into a column of light from an infinite source through the body into the earth. She is clear that the beings she connects with are loving, kind, and safe. Geneva is simply an interpreter of spiritual communication, so things can be lost in translation. She does not want anyone to blindly believe something just because it's channelled. You are always your own spiritual authority. Take what resonates and gently set aside what doesn't. For Geneva, channelling feels like she “takes a seat in the auditorium” of her own mind. She sits back as an observer while the message speaks through her voice. It feels similar to being a live translator. Concepts arrive, then turn into words. Sometimes the concepts are surprising or different from how she would answer, which is definitely a fascinating experience.   Channelled Teaching: What Does a Spiritual Seeker Need to Know? Angela asks the central question: “What is the most important information for a spiritual seeker to know?” The channelled answer acknowledges that the response is multi‑layered and depends on where someone is on their journey—whether just beginning or decades in. Still, the message offers key stages of spiritual development that many seekers encounter. Compassion and Empathy: Outward First, Then Inward The channelled guidance highlights compassion as a core, advanced lesson. Early on, seekers learn to step out of purely egoic self-reference, recognize that others exist, and honour the uniqueness of each person's experience and pain. Many listeners will likely have already mastered deep empathy for others and sensitivity to the pain of the collective. For these souls, the next level is returning that same depth of compassion and empathy to the self, the inner child, and the parts inside that are struggling. A key message the Team wants you to know is that: You are one of the beings you are here to hold compassion for.   The Observer: Who Is Doing the Viewing? The message invites seekers to explore a subtle, profound question: If you can view another person… If you can view yourself… Even view different parts within yourself… Who is the one doing the viewing? This “observer” is closer to the perspective of the beings who are speaking. It can see the inner complexity of others, notice your own inner world, and also hold a third perspective beyond both. This leads to a sense of non-separation between you and others, and to the capacity to see you and the other as one interconnected field, reciprocal and exchanging information and energy. Even if two people never meet physically, they can still be on the same frequency, communicate in dreams or subtle realms, and share a kind of telepathic dialogue of understanding.   The World Is Conscious As you evolve as a seeker, another realization arises: The physical world is conscious; the matter you sit on, the atoms in every object, are connected to a universal field of information and light and are vibratory and responsive. Once this is integrated, the next step is to bring that awareness into your daily actions, start creating from that source-aligned place, let go of limiting beliefs and self-concept, and act from what you know in your soul to be true and aligned.   You Can Never Be Off Your Path One of the most comforting parts of the message is this: You have never lost your way. You can never be off your path. Wherever you are, that is the path.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pastor Joe shares on how being intentional about our lives and relationship with God was one of the Spiritual Practices of Jesus.

There are at least three wrong ways to write about heaven, and Brian Zahnd spent his new book carefully avoiding all of them — too sentimental, too sensational, too escapist to bother caring about the world right in front of us.In this conversation, Brian and Michael talk about why heaven isn't a far-off destination but a realm woven through the space between every atom of this one, and why love and wonder might be the most reliable hints we get of its nearness. Brian shares the mystical moment in Rocky Mountain National Park that reshaped his understanding of the incarnation and makes the case that a faith stripped of transcendence eventually collapses into mere politics — however well-intentioned.They also talk about pilgrimage, the discipline of praying written prayers, and why so many people are having real spiritual experiences with no idea where it's safe to talk about them.Brian Zahnd is a pastor of forty-four years and author of Unseen Existences: Of Heaven, Earth, and the Divine Mystery in All Things.Find Brian Zahnd online here.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

This summer, we're launching a new series: Practicing Our Faith. This series will highlight voices from within our community, sharing how each of us embodies spiritual practices in everyday life. Spiritual Practices are concrete activities to engage in to open ourselves to the transforming presence of God, and Embodiment Sundays will offer guided ways to step into the practice together. Embodiment Sunday guides are available on the digital newsletter. Sign up by scanning the QR code at the back table.Gratitude is more than a response to good circumstances; it is a way of seeing and being that helps us hold sorrow and goodness together, trusting that God is present even here. As a spiritual practice, gratitude slows us down, helping us notice glimmers of hope without denying pain or injustice.

This episode features a conversation between Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Professor Peter Hawkins. This discussion is part of a series that Peter will be doing with some of the major thinkers and writers of our time, focusing on the necessary evolution of human consciousness, for humans to be future-fit to live on this planet in a way that makes a net-positive contribution to the wider ecology. The series is being done jointly with: The Weekend University and the Renewal Foundation. Rupert is a biologist and author of more than 100 scientific papers and 15 books. Trained at Cambridge and Harvard, he is best known for his work on morphic resonance, as well as his explorations of consciousness, memory, and the nature of scientific inquiry.His most recent book is Ways to Go Beyond and Why They Work, which explores how practices such as meditation, gratitude, pilgrimage, and connecting with nature can transform our lives. Peter is Emeritus Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, founder of the Academy of Executive Coaching, and a leading authority on systemic leadership, coaching, and organizational transformation. His work integrates insights from psychology, systems thinking, ecology, and philosophy to help leaders navigate an increasingly complex world. His most recent book was: Beauty in Leadership and Coaching, which was published by Routeledge in 2025. In this conversation, they explore: — How morphic fields shape biological form and behavior through collective memory rather than genetic programming alone — Why Professor Sheldrake believes the laws of nature are more like evolving habits than eternal constants — The scientific evidence for telepathy, the sense of being stared at, and other phenomena beyond current materialist frameworks — How spiritual practices across traditions—from pilgrimage to gratitude—demonstrably improve health and wellbeing — Why the loss of ritual and connection to place has contributed to rising mental health challenges in Western societies — The relationship between consciousness, light, and vision that suggests our minds extend beyond our brains And more.

We've launched a new series as a spin-off of Stories Among Us with a focused theme: Practicing Our Faith. This series will highlight voices from within our community, sharing how each of us embodies spiritual practices in everyday life. Spiritual Practices are concrete activities to engage in to open ourselves to the transforming presence of God. Our Embodiment Sundays will offer guided ways to step into the practice together.Spiritual Practice Definition: Prayer WalkingPrayer Walking is the practice of praying while walking and intentionally being present with God in a specific place. As we move through a neighborhood, street, or community space, we keep our eyes open to what God is doing, allowing what we see and experience to shape our prayers. Rather than focusing only on our own needs, prayer walking invites us to join God's care and concern for the people and places around us. It is a way of paying attention, listening for the Spirit's leading, and praying with greater awareness right where we are.

Do you ever feel underpowered? Do you find yourself frustrated with all kinds of things you can't change about yourself, others, or in the circumstances around you? The Bible teaches we have a power source that's powerful beyond our wildest imagination. It's called the power of the Holy Spirit. What is the nature of that power? And how can we tap into it? That's what we'll discuss this Sunday in the third installment of our in-depth study of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, Josefina explores with you the distinctions between the masculine & feminine spiritual paths as a way for you to find which path feels more true to you. She's supporting you in focusing on reclaiming authenticity and aliveness rather than over-optimizing the body through traditional masculine-based practices, giving permission to your feminine light to shine bright through the feminine spiritual path, which is divinely designed differently for a female body and spirit.✧The Feminine vs. Masculine PathThe masculine path, often rooted in traditions like Vipassana, is a more rigid and strictly disciplined practice of stillness, non-reactivity, and observing reality to move beyond attachments and cravings.The feminine path, which is rooted more in both Tantric traditions and somatic-based practices. This path is directed towards "full contact" with reality, involving active participation and riding the edge of sensations rather than stepping back to observe them.Masculine practices focus on neutralizing energy and transcending desire, while the feminine path uses movement, breath-work, sound, and pleasure to activate energy and radiance.Many women feel exhausted because they try to follow masculine operating systems, schedules, and practices that may deplete their natural feminine vitality.✧Spiritual Polarity in RelationshipsJosefina addresses a common fear in relationships, that partners will grow apart if they follow different spiritual paths.Merging completely by adopting a partner's habits and abandoning personal interests is a "spiritual trap" that can lead to a flat, dull, and chargeless polarity in a romantic relationship.Relationship polarity requires two distinct energy fields; attraction is fueled by the meeting of different energies, such as masculine stillness and feminine fire.Intimacy is built through genuine curiosity about who the other person is becoming rather than achieving absolute sameness.✧Integration and PracticeMaintaining separate individual morning practices allows each partner to tend to their own inner life first, bringing more authenticity to the union.Vipassana can be integrated as a complementary tool for sharpening focus and mental faculties without replacing the movement-based feminine path.Shared language and discussing what is "alive" within each person create a deeper connection than simply matching practices.Abandoning one's path to mirror a partner is not true love and can lead to self-abandonment and an erosion of the connection.A woman rooted in her own feminine path is more present, magnetic, and alive within her relationship.The ultimate goal is for each partner to be fully on their own path while staying curious and supportive of the other's journey toward their highest potential.✧ Connect with Josefina:Follow on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@Josefinabashout⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apply for your free Pleasure blueprint session with Josefina https://lp.josefinabashout.com/booking

Shame doesn't only live in the dark corners of a broken life. It lives just as quietly in the person everyone else envies — the one who has achieved everything and still wakes up feeling like it isn't enough.Ken Shigematsu grew up moving between Japan, England, and Canada, carrying the weight of a shame-and-honor culture that most Western theology never addresses. In this conversation, he and Michael explore why deep grace is different from knowing grace is true, what it means to grow our capacity to actually receive love rather than deflect it, and why beauty and joy aren't spiritual extras — they are among the most direct routes out of shame and into the self God made.Ken also shares the simple daily practice that, over 30 days, can literally rewire the neural networks that make it hard to feel loved by God — even when you believe it.Ken Shigematsu is a pastor in Vancouver, Canada, and author of Now I Become Myself: How Deep Grace Heals Our Shame and Restores Our True Self.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

In this Part 2 of the Faith Building Spiritual Practices series, we will build on the foundations of Part 1 of experiencing that God is real and encountering Him as a child in your special place.  This episode focuses on: fixing your eyes on Jesus, understanding God's job and your job, and allowing God to move you forward by surrender.  Dr. Patty shares how science backs up the supernatural truths that fixing your eyes on Jesus transforms you.  Jesus explains what the root issue is behind the misunderstanding of His role and yours related to answered prayers.  And, He helps us understand what true surrender looks like with a simple metaphor.  What are the three levels of surrender and which of these faith-builders does Jesus want you to use to jump higher in your relationship and calling?  Find out when you have Experience Jesus encounter.

Anthropic has sought the help of Christian theologians to make Claude, their A.I. model, more ethical, but they are also meeting with representatives from other religious and philosophical traditions. Should this make us more optimistic about tech companies controlling the future? The Atlantic has a story about the popularity of John Mark Comer even among non-religious young adults. Is his advocacy of contemplative Christian practices the answer to digital secularism our culture has been searching for? Kelsey Kramer McGinnis, co-author of "The Myth of Good Christian Parenting," talks with Skye about the explosive rise of evangelical parenting books in the late 20th century and the prosperity theology behind them. She says the same ideas are still popular today, but they are taking new forms.

Most people think astrology is a personality quiz. This conversation will make you reconsider that entirely. Naomi Nama Bracha is one of the most sought-after birth chart readers working today. In this episode, she sits down with me for a live, cold read of my chart pulling from the exact position of the sky at the time of my birth to reveal things I've never had explained to me before. Not in therapy. Not in any other conversation. We break down what a birth chart actually is, why it's more mathematical than mystical, and what the planets, signs, and houses each represent. We go into the Saturn-Neptune conjunction that just occurred an event that happens once every 320 years and what it means for the collective and for your chart right now. I also bring the science: a 2015 Columbia University study of 1.7 million patients found birth month correlates with risk for nine types of heart disease, and a 2023 meta-analysis confirmed that being born in winter or spring carries a 5 to 8% higher risk of developing schizophrenia. We also cover what astrology can do that therapy cannot, how synastry charts reveal the truth about your relationships, and how to access your own birth chart for free.

We're sharing some big news and diving into a topic you've been asking about for over a year. Madison announces her upcoming book, The Grief Grimoire (coming fall 2027), and we use it as a starting point to explore the idea of grief magic. Inspired by the loss of Madison's mentor Linda, the book explores how magic can support us through mourning, remembrance, and connection with those we've lost.We talk about the many forms grief can take, from losing loved ones and pets to grieving relationships, identities, and versions of ourselves. We share personal stories about signs from the other side, creating grief altars, working with psychic senses, and using practices like Reiki to support healing. Most importantly, we explore how remembering the people we've lost allows them to continue living through us.If you're navigating grief or supporting someone who is, this episode offers gentle reflections and magical tools for honoring loss while making space for healing.Order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DoneJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagic

In today's episode, Michael sits down with Christine Wolf Hoover, a licensed professional counselor from Texas and author of "Soul Adventuring: Your Guide to Living with Bravery and Joy." Together, they explore the idea that our faith journey is an invitation into risk, bravery, and joy, not just a checklist of spiritual practices.Through honest conversation and stories drawn from her clinical experience and personal life, Christine breaks down the barriers of toxic positivity, sharing how embracing vulnerability and facing the hard places in life can lead to real transformation. You'll hear practical wisdom on navigating trauma, setting boundaries, and improving emotional health, along with fresh perspectives on classic ideas like "doing the work," regulating your brain, and cultivating joy.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!
