Mental health resources increasingly focus on the self as the antidote to psychological suffering, offering strategies for prioritizing self-care and self-esteem. Yet as people focus more on the self, their suffering may actually worsen. Clinical psychologist Joshua Knabb argues that when people focus less on the self and more on God, their mental and spiritual health may improve.Clinical psychologist and California Baptist University professor Dr. Joshua Knabb joins the Attaching to God podcast to talk about his new book, Worship and Awe in Christian Psychology: How Centering God Transforms Mental and Spiritual Health.In this episode, Dr. Knabb contrasts Buddhist mindfulness with Christianity's relational telos of communion with the Triune God, talks about learning to relate differently to suffering rather than trying to eliminate it, and connects Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to desert spirituality themes like watchfulness and staying in one's “cell.”Join 5000 others for the 3rd Annual Attaching to God Summit, focused on Deepening Relationships. Register for FREE (and get Swag Bag gifts sent to your email). Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.Join the Embodied Faith community to stay connected and get posts, episodes, & resources.Support our ministry with a one-time or regular gift.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger discusses why so many of us move from one task to the next without stopping to acknowledge what we have accomplished. Big workplace wins can be inconsistent. Promotions get delayed, exciting projects get shelved, and sometimes the scoreboard just doesn't reflect the effort we're putting into our work. When that happens, small wins matter more, not less. Cindy explains why tracking an accomplishment isn't the same as celebrating it and why deciding in advance how to treat ourselves when a win shows up can help us stop and appreciate it instead of letting it evaporate into thin air.Waiting for someone else to notice our good work can leave us feeling invisible, so Cindy encourages us to make our accomplishments visible on purpose and become more comfortable saying what we do well. She also challenges us to shift from focusing only on outcomes to recognizing effort-focused wins, because we can control our level of effort every day. A daily or weekly ritual of asking, “What's one thing that went right?” can train our brains to look for evidence that things are working instead of focusing only on what's broken or unfinished. Small wins build big careers, and acknowledging them isn't a detour from productivity. It's part of what makes the next stretch of effort possible and much more enjoyable.Work, however, is only one part of an integrated life, and Cindy reminds us that balance doesn't require giving everything equal amounts of time and energy. What matters more is alignment, making intentional choices about the most important things in every moment, and accepting the trade-offs that come with those choices. Cindy identifies seven areas where we can look for small victories: 1. Mental health, 2. Physical health, 3. Social health, 4. Intellectual health, 5. Financial health, 6. Spiritual health, and 7. Professional health. When a workplace win is scarce, that doesn't mean a win isn't available today. It may simply mean we need to look somewhere else for it, then actually celebrate it when we find it.Key Moments:00:00:07 Why We Overlook Our Small Wins00:01:25 When the Big Wins Are on Hold00:02:43 Stop Waiting for Someone Else to Notice00:05:15 Shift From Outcome-Focused to Effort-Focused Wins00:06:39 Create a Daily or Weekly Win Ritual00:08:07 Your Job Is Not Your Whole Identity00:09:29 Choose Priorities and Make Intentional Trade-Offs00:11:59 Focus on What You Are Gaining00:13:21 Seven Areas to Find Small Victories00:18:54 Pick One Small Win and Actually Celebrate It Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Recognizing Your ProgressAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of This vs. That, we sit down with Dave Wiedis, author of The Spiritually Healthy Leader: Finding Freedom from Self-Sabotage, to discuss how hidden motives and ruling passions can quietly undermine our leadership, relationships, and intimacy with Christ.We explore the warning signs of self-sabotage, the danger of confusing ministry success with spiritual health, and the importance of receiving honest feedback. Dave also helps us consider how our family stories, past wounds, desires for comfort, control, affirmation, and safety can shape the way we lead. Together, we talk about bringing those motives into the light, seeing ourselves through the grace-filled eyes of Christ, and pursuing genuine repentance and lasting transformation.----For more information about Anchored Virtual, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠anchoredvirtual.com

Send us Fan MailKeto. Carnivore. Vegan. Mediterranean. Low-carb. Low-fat. With so many competing opinions about nutrition, eating for health and longevity has become unnecessarily complicated.In this episode of the Fit Rx Health & Wellness Podcast, Dr. Greg Dennis continues the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series with Pillar #2: Nutrition.After years of studying nutrition, longevity, and metabolic health—and seeing what works in clinical practice—Dr. Dennis shares how his own thinking about nutrition has evolved. Rather than following a diet with a particular name, he believes the foundation of good nutrition can be surprisingly simple: prioritize protein, eat mostly real whole foods, maintain a healthy body composition, and individualize carbohydrate and fat intake based on your metabolic health, activity level, and goals.In this episode, you'll learn:Why calories still matterWhy protein becomes increasingly important as we ageThe connection between muscle, metabolic health, and longevityWhether red meat belongs in a healthy dietWhy healthy fats are beneficial—but aren't unlimitedWhy carbohydrates aren't necessarily the enemyThe difference between whole-food carbohydrates and highly processed foodsWhen low-carb and ketogenic diets may be useful therapeutic toolsThe pros and limitations of vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore dietsWhy ultra-processed foods may be a much bigger problem than any single macronutrientWhat Dr. Dennis actually eats and how his own approach to nutrition has changed over the yearsThe takeaway is simple: your diet doesn't need a name.For most people, building meals around quality protein and minimally processed whole foods—while limiting the highly processed foods that dominate the modern diet—is a sustainable foundation for metabolic health, maintaining muscle, healthy aging, and longevity.This is the second episode in the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health series.

"If I can't say no to the Big Mac, or if I can't get my body to move intentionally, there's an element of self-mastery I don't possess. And so therefore I cannot give." ~ Chase CrouseWhat does John Paul II's Theology of the Body actually have to do with skipping the gym or ordering the Big Mac?Why might chasing your old "glory days" workout be the exact thing keeping you from getting healthier now?What's the real difference between comparing yourself to a fitness influencer and imitating a saint?In episode 107 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit down with Chase Crouse, founder of Hypuro Fit, a Catholic fitness and nutrition coaching platform built to help people grow in strength, discipline, and virtue. Chase served as a missionary with Net Ministries before earning degrees in biblical theology, and he shares the exact moment reading John Paul II's Theology of the Body that changed how he saw exercise entirely: the realization that self-donation is impossible without self-mastery, and that gift of self to God and others requires a body and will that are actually trained to give.From there, the conversation moves into the practical side of that theology. Chase breaks down why so many people fail to build a fitness habit, either chasing an all-or-nothing intensity from their athlete days or never having built any tolerance for discomfort at all, and introduces the idea of minimal effective dosing, doing the least amount necessary to get real results rather than burning out on unsustainable extremes.Kenna and Chase also dig into the difference between comparison and imitation, why social media makes fitness advice feel like hard science when it's actually full of nuance, and how the Catholic tradition has always framed imitation, of Christ and the saints, as the true goal rather than something to feel shamed by. Chase closes with the one piece of practical wisdom he gives every client trying to build a healthier morning routine.This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if caring about their physical health is a distraction from their spiritual life, or anyone looking for permission to start smaller than they think they need to.Chapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:30) - Welcome and Meet Chase Crouse(02:42) - High and Hard: Postpartum Health and a New Book Launch(17:08) - From Personal Training to Founding Hypuro Fit(18:36) - The Theology of the Body Lightbulb Moment(28:17) - Why Habits Are Hard and the Power of Minimal Effective Dosing(39:35) - Filtering Fitness Advice: Comparison vs Imitation on Social Media(53:33) - Sleep, Prayer, and a Final Challenge by ChoiceLinks and Resources:Chase Crouse and Hypuro Fit - https://www.hypurofit.org/Sanctify Your Day: A Structure to Live an Intentional, Healthy, and Holy Life - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/sanctify-your-day/The God of Endurance: A Practical Guide for Incorporating Exercise and Nutrition into Your Spiritual Journey - https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-god-of-endurance/Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Send us Fan MailWhat if improving your health isn't about finding the perfect diet, supplement, medication, or exercise program—but about strengthening the foundations that everything else is built upon?In this episode of the Fit Rx Health & Wellness Podcast, Dr. Greg Dennis introduces the 7 Pillars of Optimal Health: Sleep, Nutrition, Movement & Strength, Hormonal Health, Emotional Health, Relational Health, and Spiritual Health.We begin the series with one of the most important—and most overlooked—pillars: sleep.Sleep plays a critical role in hormone balance, metabolism, weight management, muscle recovery, brain function, emotional health, and longevity.

In Episode 217, we explore Luke 11:33-36 and Jesus' powerful teaching on light, darkness, and what we fill ourselves with. Jesus uses two images that work together to make one urgent and searching point. First, the lamp: a lamp isn't lit to be hidden. It's placed on a stand where its light can be seen by everyone who enters the house. If you have light, it's meant to illuminate. It's meant to benefit others. It's meant to shine. But then Jesus turns the image inward in a way that is both profound and deeply personal. He says your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your whole body. When your eye is healthy—when what you're looking at, focusing on, and filling yourself with is good—your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy—when what you're consuming, dwelling on, and giving your attention to is dark—your whole body is filled with darkness. Through guided meditation, discover the warning that should make every one of us pause: "Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness." This is one of the most searching statements Jesus ever made. It's possible to think you're walking in light while actually walking in darkness. It's possible to be so accustomed to the dark that it feels normal—that the gradual dimming of your inner life goes unnoticed because it happens so slowly. It's possible to consume content, pursue goals, and fill your mind with things that slowly crowd out the light without even realizing it's happening. This episode explores the profound connection between what we look at and what we become. What are you filling your eye with? What occupies your attention, your screen time, your thought life, your emotional energy? Because whatever fills your eye fills your body. And whatever fills your body is what shines out of your life—or fails to. Jesus offers a breathtaking promise to those who take this seriously: "If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light." The invitation is not just to avoid darkness—it's to be so filled with light that there's no room for dark corners. Not a dim glow but a floodlight. Not partial brightness but total radiance. Learn how to conduct an honest inventory of what you've been filling your eye with—the content you consume, the social media you scroll, the conversations you dwell on, the thoughts you entertain—and identify what is filling you with darkness instead of light. Discover how to make one deliberate change today that guards your eye and opens more space for light. Find the freedom and radiance that comes from fixing your eyes on what is true, good, and beautiful—and watching your whole life shine as a result.

In this conversation, Liv Hill discusses the misconceptions surrounding hormones and weight loss, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of hormones, the impact of muscle loss on metabolism, and the necessity of strength training and lifestyle adjustments to navigate these changes effectively. Liv encourages women to take control of their health by focusing on protein intake, stress management, and consistent strength training, regardless of their stage in life.

In this 100th episode of the Liv Hill Nutrition Podcast, Liv Hill explores the deep connection between spiritual health and physical well-being.

Spiritual health isn't about following a specific religion, meditating on a mountaintop, or taking the sacrament (unless you want to do those things). It's about something deeper—our connection to something greater than ourselves, our capacity for faith, and the hope that carries us through life's challenges. Dr. Lisa Miller is a New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain. She's a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and the founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute—the first Ivy League graduate program dedicated to the study of spirituality and psychology. Her groundbreaking research has been published in over 100 peer-reviewed articles, and she's a sought-after speaker, working with the U.S. military, Fortune 500 companies, schools, and healthcare organizations to integrate spirituality into mental health and leadership. Spirituality isn't just a belief system—it's a proven driver of resilience, purpose, and well-being. In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How spiritual health impacts mental resilience and emotional well-being ✔️ The neuroscience behind spirituality and how it physically changes the brain ✔️ Why faith—whether in God, the universe, or your inner wisdom—makes you stronger ✔️ Practical ways to nurture your spiritual health (without needing a formal practice) Because here's the truth: Whatever created you, lives within you—and that alone makes you inherently valuable, worthy, and powerful.

August has arrived—and according to intuitive astrologer Stevie Calista, this isn't just another month. It's one of the most pivotal energetic periods of the year.After July's Mercury retrograde invited us to slow down, reflect, and reset, August accelerates the journey with two powerful eclipses, major planetary shifts, and an invitation to shed old identities in favor of something far more authentic.If you've been feeling like life has been nudging or pushing you toward change, you're not imagining it.In this episode, Stevie walks us through the astrological themes week by week, explaining what each major transit means, where to focus your energy, and how to navigate the month with greater clarity, trust, and intention.IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:Why August 2026 eclipse season marks a major turning point filled with endings, beginnings, and soul-level course correctionsHow Saturn in Aries continues challenging us to release old identities and discover who we truly areThe meaning of Lammas (Lughnasadh) and why early August is the perfect time to celebrate gratitude, abundance, and the harvest in your own lifeHow Chiron retrograde invites deep healing while helping you recognize just how far you've already comeWhy Venus entering Libra encourages more balance, beauty, connection, and harmony in your relationships and daily lifeWhat it means as Mercury finally leaves its retrograde shadow and begins moving into new territoryHow Mercury in Leo inspires creativity, confidence, self-expression, and reconnecting with your inner childWhy Mars entering Cancer asks us to slow down, nurture ourselves, tend to home and family, and reconnect with our emotional rootsThe significance of the August 12 Solar Eclipse in Leo and how it may close important chapters while opening your heart to a new version of yourselfWhy this eclipse is less about forcing outcomes—and more about trusting where your soul is already leading youThe caution around Mars square Neptune, and why it's important to avoid making emotionally reactive decisions during the third week of the monthWhat Virgo season brings as we transition into healthier routines, organization, productivity, and grounded momentumHow the Mercury cycle reaches an important midpoint, offering an opportunity to reflect, refine, and adjust projects or ideas that began in JulyThe meaning of the August 28 Pisces Lunar Eclipse, and why surrender, intuition, and trusting the unknown become your greatest strengthsWhy 2026 continues to feel like a year of brand-new territory—and how to embrace the uncertainty instead of resisting itThroughout the conversation, Stevie reminds us that astrology is a powerful tool for understanding the larger cycles unfolding in our lives, helping us work with the energy instead of against it.If August feels intense, know that you're not alone. This month's astrology is inviting all of us to release what no longer fits, reconnect with our hearts, and step into a more authentic version of ourselves—one choice at a time.MORE WITH STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie's astrology readings, classes, and current offerings.Follow Stevie on Instagram: @farmhousemoonSubscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonSOLAR ECLIPSE VISIBILITYPath of Totality: Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal, Russia:Partial Eclipse Regions:North America: Parts of Alaska and northeastern Canada/U.S. see a minor partial eclipse. i.e., New York will have about 9% coverage and Detroit roughly 3%.Europe + Africa: Much of Europe and northwestern Africa experience a deep partial eclipse near sunset Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

He's a coach, homesteader, and host of Radical Health Radio. His lens on ancestral health, masculinity, and human vitality is shaped by everything from cage fighting in England to raising kids on the land in Tennessee.Ste and I have been orbiting each other's worlds for years, and this conversation is the first time we've been able to sit down and dig in.A lot gets covered, but the real thread underneath is this: most people are outsourcing their health to protocols, supplements, peptides, and fear-based content, and it's making them weaker, not stronger. Ste has strong things to say about why the vaccine was never actually forced, why orthorexia is subtly wrecking people, and what the wellness industry keeps getting wrong about resilience.We also get into his four-truths framework, what real success looks like, and why the emotional and spiritual side of health matters more than the biohacks.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:07] Mark Sisson's podcast and the virtue of restraint[24:47] Falling for Nicole and an Indonesian village that broke his brain about success[43:26] Success is getting what you want, and how Ste defines it now[1:01:38] The wellness space has become a mess of overwhelm and fad chasing[1:20:14] Blaming outside forces for sickness is weakness, plus the peptide and vaccine hypocrisy[1:32:03] BPC-157 healed his meniscus tear, and how health comes down to four simple truths[1:56:30] Working in versus working out, and why mobility is real estate you already own[2:25:22] Heart and Soil's origin story, and a Bulgarian textbook smuggled out for cigarettes[2:42:59] A Parkinson's neighbor whose tremors calmed within days of eating brain tissue Related The Way Forward Episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | PodcastResources Mentioned:The Law of One by Ra | Books The Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookFind more from Ste:Ste Lane | InstagramRadical Health Radio | Website | Instagram | YouTubeHeart and Soil Supplements | Website | Instagram | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | Instagram | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:BEAM Minerals: Feel the Difference in Days: Join thousands recharging with plant-based minerals.

Sabbath rest is a gift that's talked about all over Scripture. Yet, we often interpret what God intended to be a blessing as a burden instead. Let's be honest: the idea of setting aside work to embrace a day of rest might feel unnecessary, intimidating, unattainable, legalistic, or just plain boring.Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi unpack the biblical heartbeat of the Sabbath — a day to slow down, trust God with your responsibilities, and delight in Jesus. They'll help you overcome resistances to God's gift of rest and equip you with simple, doable rhythms to help you experience the deep soul rest you long for through practicing Sabbath and spiritual retreats.Resources for this Episode:Your Best Life in Jesus' Easy Yoke: Rhythms of Grace to De-Stress and Live EmpoweredAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks
