In Part 2 of our compelling series with Station West, we continue the deep dive into the realities of addiction and recovery in aviation, focusing on the unique challenges faced by pilots battling substance abuse. This honest conversation unpacks the truth behind alcoholism, the withdrawal process, and why recovery is impossible alone.Through personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, Staton explains why addiction is a separate force from the individual, and how surrender, treatment, and community support pave the way to lasting freedom. We also highlight the misconceptions around being an alcoholic, the structure of the 12-step program, and the daily choices that maintain sobriety.Whether you're a pilot, aviation professional, or someone seeking hope, this episode will inspire you with tools, encouragement, and the reminder that you're not alone.

While he was sitting with well-to-do, very religious people, a known sinful woman came and paid homage to Jesus in a dramatic way. Rather than tell her to go away, Jesus welcomed her and her devotion. If Jesus can show hospitality to those considered outcasts, we should also. ****************** If you are new with us, want to pray with someone, or want to take the next step in your faith journey: churchonthedrive.org/next If you would like to give: churchonthedrive.org/give If you would like to start volunteering somewhere in church or in our community: churchonthedrive.org/serve

The human footprint may not be easily measurable, but it is crucial in shaping the planet for better and for worse – but most of the time it is the latter. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, PhD, who hosts the aptly named show "Human Footprint." He talks all about his experiences traveling around the world to delve into different human activities, cultures, and lifestyles to understand how they impact our society and environment. Shane also shares insights on how supermarkets changed the way we eat, the value of humanity's fundamental interconnectedness, the true costs of hydroelectric power, and the truth behind the bee colony collapse.About Guest:Shane is interested in how human history, culture, technology and politics influence life, biological stress and evolution of species around the world. He uses physiology, gene expression, genomics and experimentation to identify genes and traits that allow animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressures faced in a human-dominated world. Shane also has a deep passion for sharing science with the public. His own passion for science was kindled through television as a child. Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, he was not exposed to much nature or the outdoors. But watching nature documentaries and TV shows featuring passionate presenters, like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin, he developed a love for the natural world. Now Shane is sharing his own passions and the wonders of science with a diverse audience through his research as well as visual and audio media.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-campbell-staton-034a1380/Guest Website: https://www.campbellstaton.com/Guest Social: https://www.pbs.org/show/human-footprint/https://www.instagram.com/shane.campbellstaton/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biology-of-superheroes-podcast/id1314139416https://www.tiktok.com/@pbshttps://www.youtube.com/@PBS/featuredAdditional Resources Mentioned:The Impact of Climate Storytelling with Trip Jennings and Maiya May of WEATHERED, a PBS DocuseriesThe Impact of Dams on the Health of Our Ecosystems with Steve Hawley, Author of CrackedThe Consequences of Farmed Salmon with Simen Saetre, Author of The New FishShow Notes: Raw audio00:02:37 - Shane Campbell-Staton And Human Footprint00:08:24 - What To Expect From Season 200:11:19 - How Supermarkets Changed Our Daily Lives00:13:41 - Understanding The Honey Trap And Colony Collapse00:17:49 - Insights About Hydroelectric Power00:24:50 - Appreciating Fundamental Interconnectedness00:26:52- Environmental Response To Human Footprint00:34:45 - Telling Stories About Social Justice00:46:12 - Evolving From Domination To Reciprocity00:53:39 - How To Remian Hopeful And Keep The Faith00:56:17 - Making Small Changes For The Greater Good00:59:51 - Episode Wrap-up And Closing WordsJOIN OUR CIRCLE.

How can spiritual practices help us in the valley of our heartache and suffering? Why is prayer so pivotal in our pain? For years, pastor of Bridgetown Church and author Tyler Staton taught others how to slow down and engage in the spiritual practices that can help people connect to God and hear His voice more clearly. He had no idea how much the very lessons he shared would be so important in his own journey through cancer. Reading Scripture, prayer and conversing with God took on a whole new level of meaning and intimacy as he walked through a difficult diagnosis and an aggressive treatment plan that physically and emotionally depleted him. But through it, he found a deeper connection with the shepherd of his soul. In this tender conversation, Davey sits with Tyler to discuss why we need to engage in spiritual practices especially in hard times, what the mystery of the spiritual wilderness can reveal, and how God will use the interruptions of our suffering to show us what we cannot see in the ordinary moments of our life. If you are walking through the wilderness and wondering how to find the direction you need, this episode will help you understand that while spiritual practices may not give us all the answers we long for, they will guide us into a deeper connection with the one who knows them.   Website: https://www.tylerstaton.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylercstaton/ Book: The Familiar Stranger: (Re)Introducing the Holy Spirit to Those in Search of an Experiential Spirituality https://a.co/d/8nkJY83 Are you looking for the perfect study for your small group?

"What if the instant supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and the slow formative power of spiritual practices work in complement to one another, not competition?"In this teaching, Tyler Staton shows us the essential role that the Holy Spirit plays in our formation. He argues that formative practice and supernatural power are not conflicting ministries, inviting us to return the the roots of our faith by holding these two expressions in tandem. The Familiar Stranger, Tyler's newest book, is available now for pre-order, releasing on January 28th.

This week, we delve into the critical need for a robust theology of suffering in our postmodern culture of self-help and self-directed spirituality. Joining us is Tyler Staton, lead pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland. Tyler, having personally navigated the profound experience of losing control amidst his battle with cancer, offers invaluable insights. We'll explore how God works through our pain, inviting us into a deeper understanding of His redemptive purpose. Furthermore, Tyler will address the concerning trend of how we've often misconstrued the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to become a tool for self-aggrandizement rather than a source of genuine transformation.
