Is it possible to find peace and meaning in a world shaped by both chaos and order, certainty and mystery, suffering and joy? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Catherine Toon and guest Bill Thrasher dive deep into the sacred paradoxes woven throughout creation, scripture, and the human experience. From Newtonian laws to the mysteries of quantum physics, from the Tree of Life to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they explore how divine tension points us to truth—and how every paradox finds its pivot and purpose in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. This episode explores: * The balance between predictability and divine mystery * How chaos and order coexist in God’s redemptive plan * Navigating the tension between control and surrender * Why true rest is found not in certainty, but in union with Christ * How the cross reframes suffering, mystery, and peace Perfect for those deconstructing rigid beliefs or reconstructing a vibrant, Spirit-filled worldview, this conversation invites you to embrace paradox as a portal into deeper intimacy with God.

In this profound conversation, William Paul Young—author of The Shack—joins Dr. Catherine Toon to explore how God shows up in the very places we often try to escape: our pain, our confusion, and our chaos. Together, they unpack how transformation isn’t a lightning bolt from heaven, but a sacred, often spiral journey of revisiting wounds with God’s redeeming love. They explore the critical difference between grief and shame, the power of present-moment living, and how we’re invited to participate in—not control—God’s redemptive work in the world. This episode is a breath of fresh grace for anyone navigating deconstruction, burnout, trauma, or the ache of not knowing what's next. It’s a reminder that you’re not behind, not broken beyond repair, and never alone. Topics covered include: * God’s relentless presence in our darkest moments * Why transformation happens in spirals, not straight lines * Redeeming grief and silencing shame * Embracing your humanity as sacred * Letting go of grand callings and stepping into divine participation * The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him deeply Whether you're in the wilderness, at the edge of burnout, or rediscovering faith beyond formulas, this conversation will meet you right where you are—with healing, hope, and holy presence.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Catherine Toon hosts Dr. Matt Pandel (psychologist and theologian) and Paul Young (author of The Shack), as they dive into the powerful themes of Matt’s newest book "Fractured Witness." This work boldly recognizes the Church’s (Ekklēsia’s) fractured legacy—how faith has been used to justify harm, and how true redemption calls us back to the real Jesus and the reality of what the Church was always meant to be. You’ll hear deeply personal stories, theological reflections, and honest critiques of systems that distort the face of God. From the misuse of scripture to the weaponization of religion, we are invited to sit in the discomfort—and from that sacred space, rediscover a gospel of relentless love, healing, and reconciliation, that can and is occurring through the evolving beautiful healthy church, the way she was meant to be. ✨ If you’ve been wounded by the Church or are seeking to reconcile faith with truth, justice, and compassion and practical suggestions operate in community as God’s life-giving Church, this episode is for you. A behavioral psychologist and theologian, Dr. Matt Pandel is first and foremost a communicator. Ordained in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, he remains fiercely ecumenical, believing the Church is best when she honors all of the traditions and expressions from which she is formed. In addition to his work as President and Professor of Trinitarian Theology and Spiritual Direction at Global Grace Seminary, he maintains a private consulting practice and serves as a regional mental health policy advisor. He resides in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife and best friend, Carrie.

You’ll discover what it means to ravage His heart with your beauty and be drawn into a divine romance unlike anything else.

 - Perfect peace (shalom shalom) as God’s doubled promise—nothing missing, nothing broken.
 - Resting in the storm, trusting in the God who has His way in the whirlwind.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Catherine Toon joins Bishop Jamie Englehart on his "Grace For All" show to unpack the healing revelation of a God who embodies both masculine and feminine attributes. With scriptural insight and compassionate wisdom, they explore how a distorted image of God—often influenced by misogyny and narrow interpretations—has impacted gender roles in the Church and beyond. Through historical context, biblical clarity, and prophetic insight, this conversation calls for a deeper, more inclusive understanding of the divine. Discover how restoring our view of God leads to healing for both men and women, and opens the door to a more vibrant, healthy Body of Christ. Key Takeaways: * God is revealed through both masculine and feminine expressions. * Misogyny has shaped theology—but truth brings healing. * Women and men are equally called and gifted for leadership. * Understanding context in scripture is essential for gender clarity. * Catherine’s research shows feminine roots in many “male” biblical terms. * A healthy image of God brings relational and cultural wholeness.

Welcome to another episode of Buying and Beyond! In this episode it's just us! We're taking a small break from our guest spots, as we dive into the world of Comp Shops, discussing why they're essential for staying inspired, spotting trends, and growing creatively in retail - not for copying! We break the myth; trendspotting is about inspiration and evolution, not duplication.Our recent comp shop took us to the streets of London, walking down Oxford street to see the latest IKEA takeover of the former Topshop space, which felt rather eerie and strange, however the recent news of the standalone stores for the impending Topshop re-brand was a real pick me up! We talk trends, like the buttermilk yellow and boutique branding in mainstream chains, and highlight some of our standout stores, such as the fairly newish roll out of Sostrene Grene and the rise of M&S's sell out collections.We also dig into retail news, the shift toward experience-led shopping, and how tech (and even hackers!) are reshaping the industry. With TALAS's CEO declaring “we're in the hospitality business”  we unpack the new expectations for high street retail, it's more important than ever for bricks and mortar to provide a customer experience, as transactional shopping is the online offer. What is the reason a customer is coming to your store? It needs to be emotive, tangible, show quality and interaction. We are forever more reliant on technology, which has so many positive outcomes, but it also put us at risk of a more robotic future, and less human sociable interaction. On which note, a huge thanks to everyone who attended our first networking event! We share how it went, what we learned, and why community is at the heart of everything we're building - plus, what's next as we expand this exciting space for industry connection!

Episode 77: Steve Smith.The incredible, multi-faceted, Steve Smith was one of my favorite drummers growing up. His playing with Journey blew me mind, and the fact that he had a full-on jazz career alongside his rock success made him even more inspiring to me. Steve made Modern Drummer's Top 25 Drummers of All Time list and won the #1 All-Around Drummer Award five years in a row. His credits are stacked, from early gigs with Jean Luc-Ponty (alongside Allan Holdsworth), Focus, and Ronnie Montrose, to arena-filling hits with Journey, to leading his band Vital Information (for the past 4 decades). He's done sessions with Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, Vasco Rossi, Zucchero, Savage Garden, Bryan Adams, and Zakir Hussain. On the jazz side, Steve has played with heavyweights like Steps Ahead, Tom Coster, Ahmad Jamal, Victor Wooten, Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Frank Gambale, Stuart Hamm, Dweezil Zappa, Hiromi, and Bill Evans.Steve is one of the greatest to ever do it, and it was a total honor to have him on the show.

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare

What if inspiration didn't have to arrive in rare, dramatic bursts? Inspired by Mason Currey's “Daily Rituals: How Artists Work,” I've learned that simple routines can nurture creativity in ways we don't always expect. By creating rituals, we can stay energized, connect more deeply with patients, and prevent burnout.   For me, a daily writing routine became a powerful tool for self-expression and healing during a difficult time. This wasn't about waiting for the perfect moment to write; it was about showing up consistently and letting creativity flow. I believe rituals help us turn everyday practices into grounding moments that open us up to creative energy. What small, intentional habits could make a difference in your own life? I think they just might, especially in medicine, where creativity is often hidden in the art of patient care and problem-solving.   In this episode, I'm sharing practical ways to stay inspired, like finding dedicated workspaces or discovering your best times of day for focused tasks. Whether you're a physician or simply looking for ways to invite more creativity into your life, I hope my journey reminds you that inspiration can be woven into the fabric of our daily routines through purposeful rituals.   Quotes “I believe that a career in medicine is one of the most creative careers. You see, you're energetically engaged with a patient. You're using all five senses, which means you're putting yourself in flow.”  (01:00 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Routine matters... Structure actually helps creativity. But really, it's about consistency, and our brain is a predictive machine.” (07:28 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Constraints actually will fuel creativity... the more constraints you apply, your brain works a little harder to be creative.” (20:44 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Persistence over perfection… We need to have a ‘BM' once a day—one bare minimum daily. Done is better than perfect.” (22:12 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Medicine should be fun. It should be a self-expressive act. It should be a creative act where you're helping your patient heal.” (23:11 | Dr. Lara Salyer)   Links Free Catalyst Calendar planner: https://healthinnate.activehosted.com/f/49 Take the Archetype quiz to find your ideal play activity: https://3nb09zv7070.typeform.com/archetype Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Rituals-How-Artists-Work/dp/0307273601 Right Brain Rescue Book: Amazon store front: https://www.amazon.com//dp/B08JCKBWK5/   Connect with Lara:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com The Catalyst Way: https://drlarasalyer.com/catalyst Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
