Real change doesn't happen through inspiration alone—it happens through formation.The bridge between wanting to change and actually becoming new is found in practices: small, repeatable rhythms that shape our desires and direction over time. In this episode, Whit George, Blake Zimmerman, and Blaine Bartel explore how spiritual practices are counter-formation, slow and often resistant, but deeply powerful. As we commit to faithful practices—body, mind, and soul—we learn to trust the process, resist the path of least resistance, and allow Jesus to do His quiet, transforming work in us.

Confession carries baggage—shame, fear, and the feeling that we have to earn God's forgiveness. In week two of our Spiritual Practices series, Charlie reframes confession as a gift: not a way to get forgiveness, but a way to remember the forgiveness already given in Jesus. Confession follows repentance—moving from an inward posture to an outward naming—and it doesn't change your identity in Christ. Instead, it closes the relational gap sin creates and makes room for what God loves to do most: extend compassion and grace. In a culture full of condemnation, confession becomes a way we re-learn the heart of God.

Do you believe peace is possible when chaos is everywhere? Are you caught in the exhaustion of trying to control everything, leading to spiritual drift and burnout? In this episode, we reveal that peace is not a reward; it is a spiritual choice that results in stability. I had a chat with Rev. Dr. A'Shellarien Addison, the first woman Chaplain in the 240-year history of the Delaware Army National Guard, a spiritual clinical trauma-informed practitioner, and author. Dr. Addison shares her personal journey of nearly losing her peace while juggling high-pressure leadership and family life. She identifies the universal test: the constant pressure to be "productive" instead of purposeful. She reveals the transformative, God-given three-step strategy she uses to navigate crisis with clarity: Pause, Pray, Plan. This framework is a simple, actionable path to moving from reactive decisions to divine direction. Learn how spiritual disciplines like the PAUSE and PRAYER literally rewire your brain for resilience and peace, helping you become a source of clarity and strength for others. Dr. Addison breaks down the neuroscience of faith and provides the practical tools you need. In this episode, you will go deeper into her simple 3-step method to: PAUSE: Create sacred space to think about what you are thinking about. PRAY: Move from panic to prayer as your first, not last, response. PLAN: Act with God's wisdom rather than human desperation. Your choice today is simple: panic is reaction undirected; pause is purpose directed. Choose the pause. Your true peace is waiting on the other side of intentional surrender.

Send us a text Welcome to the beginning of our slow-and-deep journey through Matthew 5–7—the Sermon on the Mount. In this series intro, we step onto the hillside with Jesus and explore what's really happening in this moment: crowds gathering, disciples leaning in, and the King unveiling life in the Kingdom of God. This isn't an entrance exam to Christianity—it's the curriculum for apprentices of Jesus. We'll talk about why these chapters are essential for understanding our place as Christians, how they reshape our identity (not just our behavior), and how we're going to walk through them at a pace that allows real transformation.

In this week's Q&A, Jack and Riley sit down together on the farm to answer your most–asked questions about marriage, faith, and real life behind the scenes.Nothing is off-limits. They talk honestly about navigating conflict in marriage, building a healthy sex life, what it's really like raising animals and hosting Airbnbs in rural Tennessee, and the spiritual rhythms that keep them grounded in the middle of it all.You'll hear stories, practical advice, a few laughs, a few “wait—did we really just say that?” moments, and a whole lot of real, unfiltered conversation.Whether you're single, dating, married, or just along for the ride, this episode invites you into the Kehoes' world—where faith shapes everything, courage is practiced daily, and God is found in both the big decisions and the small, slow moments of farm life.
We check the markets often—but how often do we check our hearts? Most of us approach investing with calculators, not character. Yet Scripture calls us to a deeper way. What if investing isn't just a financial activity but a spiritual practice—one that shapes who we're becoming?Tim McCready, Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight (part of the Eversource Wealth Advisors team), has been helping both Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi develop a theological framework for investing that aligns our portfolios—and our hearts—with God's purposes. His recent work explores how timeless spiritual disciplines can transform how believers think about investing.Why Investing Requires a Spiritual LensTim begins with Jesus' words in Matthew 6: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That's not just a warning—it's an insight into spiritual formation.“Our investment decisions aren't just a reflection of faithfulness,” Tim says. “They're shaping who we're becoming as we seek to be like Jesus.”When we invite God into our investment decisions, investing becomes more than strategy—it becomes worship. It becomes one more place where we ask God to form us into faithful stewards.The Ignatian Prayer of Examen—For InvestorsOne of the most compelling ideas Tim introduces is applying the historic Ignatian prayer of examen to our portfolios.For centuries, believers have ended their day with this reflective practice—examining God's presence, confessing sin, noticing grace, and preparing for tomorrow.Tim suggests: What if investors practiced something similar?Rather than viewing portfolios strictly through analysis or performance, the examen helps us approach them with discernment, surrender, and spiritual attentiveness.Step One: GratitudeGratitude quiets the noise and recenters us on God's generosity. Before looking at performance or market movements, Tim encourages investors to pause and thank God for His provision.It might sound something like:“Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You've entrusted to me—including my investment portfolio. Speak to me about my stewardship, challenge me, and remind me of Your faithfulness as I draw near to You.”Gratitude reframes everything. It reminds us that portfolios are gifts to steward—not trophies to admire nor securities to cling to.Step Two: ReviewJust as the daily examen invites believers to review their day, the investing examen invites us to review each line of our portfolio with prayerful reflection.This simple discipline lifts our eyes beyond numbers to the impact our investments have on people, communities, and the world.As Tim notes, “We may find both joy and conviction—joy where God is pleased, and invitation where He's calling us to change.”Step Three: Repentance and RenewalThis is where the examen moves from reflection to transformation.Perhaps we discover that we've placed too much security in our portfolio. Perhaps a certain investment feels misaligned with God's desires. Perhaps God prompts us toward greater generosity.Repentance helps us acknowledge these areas honestly—and renewal invites us to receive God's forgiveness and step forward in faith.A simple prayer might be:“Gracious Provider, rule over every part of my life, including my investments. Forgive me for trusting wealth over You. Give me courage to act where You lead, and joy in following Your plan for my life.”This step reorients our trust away from the market and back toward the One who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)Step Four: Community and AccountabilityThough investing can feel private, it was never meant to be isolated.We grow best in community. Sharing a budget or portfolio with a trusted friend or mentor is humbling—but powerful. Accountability exposes blind spots, clarifies values, and encourages faithfulness.Whether through a small group, a stewardship class, or a community like the FaithFi app, transparency invites God's wisdom through God's people.Step Five: Fasting from Market NoiseWe live in an era of constant market updates, by the day, hour, and minute. Tim points out that this flood of data gives the illusion of control while feeding anxiety.A spiritual practice of “fasting” from market noise—checking less often, turning off notifications, stepping back from constant updates—helps us rest in God's provision instead of reacting to every market swing.Jesus' question echoes here: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27) Or, as Tim puts it, “add a single cent to your portfolio?”Step Six: ServiceSpiritually formed investors naturally turn outward. Financial experience is a gift meant to serve others—whether through mentoring, teaching budgeting, serving on a church finance committee, or helping younger believers develop healthy habits.Service transforms stewardship from something we manage to something we multiply.A Holistic Vision of Faithful InvestingWhen we bring together gratitude, review, repentance, community, fasting, and service, we begin to see investing not as a sterile financial exercise but as a rhythm of worship.“Investing is faithfulness,” Tim reminds us. “It forms us. It shapes us as disciples. A biblical approach to investing isn't measured only by returns, but by spiritual formation.”In other words, investing becomes a way to follow Jesus. A biblical worldview of investing doesn't start with performance—it begins with the heart. When we invite God into our investing, He uses even financial decisions to form us into the likeness of Christ.May our portfolios—and our hearts—reflect the One who has entrusted everything to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I worked hard to raise my credit score to about 730, but a miscommunication with my student loan led to a late payment and brought it down to 548.

11/23/25 David borrows from the new book Reading the Bible on Turtle Island by Sanctuary member Chris Hoklotubbe. David looks at how the book invites an openness to the gifts and spiritual practices of indigenous traditions because many reflect the Bible's portrayal of spiritual experiences. For example, in the Transfiguration story, Jesus experiences the presence of his ancestors (Moses and Elijah) at a crossroads moment in his ministry.

In this episode of the Care to Change Podcast, April Bordeau welcomes back Teresa Land, therapist and clinical supervisor at Care to Change, for an inspiring conversation on the practice of gratitude journaling.Teresa shares how she first leaned into journaling during the difficult days of COVID, discovering it as a God-led practice that shifted her focus from anxiety to hope. She explains how journaling is more than making a list—it's about slowing down, engaging both sides of the brain, and allowing gratitude to shape our perspective.Together, April and Teresa explore practical ways to begin, prompts that make reflection meaningful, and how gratitude journaling can transform not only how we see ourselves but also how we connect with God and others. This practice, though simple, has the power to bring calm, deepen faith, and build resilience.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why gratitude journaling is more than “making a list”How writing can help slow racing thoughts and steady your heartPractical prompts to guide reflection (using all five senses, people, places, and ordinary gifts)How gratitude shifts our perspective from scarcity to sufficiencyThe overlap of Scripture, science, and gratitude in shaping peace of mindWhy journaling is personal—your practice can be as unique as you areSimple tips to make gratitude a daily rhythm in your lifeResources & Mentions:In All Things Give Thanks by Charles Stanley (gratitude journal)Spiritual Practices for the Brain by Anne Kertz KernionOne Thousand Gifts by Ann VoskampThe YouVersion Bible App (gratitude devotionals and reading plans)Contact us online here.
In this episode, Jessie Cruickshank sits down with her friend and fellow leader Tracy Matthews for a rich, grounding conversation on what it means to cultivate spiritual attunement in life and leadership. Tracy shares vivid imagery God gave her during prayer—living water seeping into dry, cracked places—and invites us into a way of leading that begins not with planning and striving, but with presence, receptivity, and alignment with God's heart. Together, Jessie and Tracy explore the difference between self-driven leadership and Spirit-led wayfinding, how teams can discern God's guidance together, why shared power and co-regulation matter for emotional and spiritual health, and how slowing down can open us to wisdom we've been missing. They talk courage, disappointment, group culture, and the surprising freedom that comes when we release our grip on the plan and follow the Spirit's gentle nudge instead. This is a practical and deeply encouraging conversation for anyone longing to hear God more clearly and lead with greater peace, courage, and connection.ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjess ORDER Jessie's newest book, Ordinary Discipleship: How God Wires Us for the Adventure of Transformation → https://a.co/d/51j86DGFor more great stuff, check out: Ordinary Discipleship by Whoology: https://whoology.coFollow us on social media:https://instagram.com/ordinarydiscipleshiphttps://facebook.com/ordinarydiscipleshipFollow Jessie on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/yourbrainbyjessFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.s.cruickshank/Twitter: https://twitter.com/yourbrainbyjessJessie Cruickshank is a disciple-maker, wilderness guide, and ordained minister.

Adventurous Living - The Meadow Springs Community Church Podcast
Some people learn by reading about things; some by hearing about them. It seems a good way, though, to really learn and take in information is by doing and engaging in the process. How often has a parent taught something new to a small child... "practice makes perfect", they say. It's not really about perfection, but the doing itself... especially when it serves another. How great it would be to really get good at doing for others?
We Almost Ended Our Friendship Over THIS?! | Exclusive Episode (Previously Substack-Only!) You won't believe how close Mayim and Jonathan came to never speaking again - and all because of something ridiculously simple. In this exclusive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown (once only available to our Substack community), they open up about the hilarious moment that nearly ended years of friendship, collaboration, and love…and what it taught them about checking the “simple fixes” before assuming the universe is against you. Mayim and Jonathan also explore the line between mediums and channelers, the role of creativity in expanding consciousness, and how spiritual practices can calm the body and open the mind, diving into insights from our hit episode with Lee Harris (channeler of “The Z's”) where we unpack the tension between skepticism and open-mindedness and how altered states might help us perceive more of our reality. They also break down: - Do mediums and channelers access more of their brain…or the entire consciousness system? - How creativity (and even trauma) can open the doorway to altered states - Why spiritual practices ground us when life feels chaotic - How to reimagine your life when your current path stops working (whether that means changing cities, careers, or your whole perspective) If you love exploring how metaphysics meets real life, or just need a reminder that the universe might be on your side, this one's for you.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to weather the storms of life well. Everyone experiences difficult moments throughout their lives and these storms come in all shapes and sizes. In each one, we have the opportunity to respond from a place of truth and peace instead of fear. We share practical ways we've learned to weather the storms in our own lives, from simplifying life to immersing ourselves in Scripture. We also explore how pain, though difficult, can lead us into deeper healing and communion with God. No matter what you're facing, you are not alone—He is near, and so are we.
