Lindsay and Emily are sisters that both have OCD. Being two totally different people, they have had their own personal experiences with OCD and different means of tackling it. Though, this doesn't stop them from helping each other and anyone with their mental health. Their pursuit for a reminder of all their learnings from the therapy they had engaged in brought them to the creation of Presently, a brand of braecelets with affirmations and reminders rooted in the cognitive-behavorial approach engraved on them. These are therapy-inspired quotations that counter toxic positivity, which are words of affirmation that might be more destructive than helpful.  In this episode we talk about: ◾️ Different kinds of OCD and therapy ◾️ Making mental health a more manageable part of everyday life ◾️ Toxic positivity Find Lindsay and Emily here: @presentlybracelets presentlybracelets.com Find Zach here:  zachwesterbeck.com @zach_westerbeck

First things first, I wanted to apologize for my two-week hiatus from posting episodes for Solace and the City. I discuss the reasons for my absence in the intro, but ultimately I can only attribute this to the difficulties of balancing a full-time job with a self-run podcast! Nevertheless, I am back with an incredible episode featuring the co-founders of Presently, Emily and Lindsay Stetzer. In this episode, I speak with Emily and Lindsay about their history dealing with OCD and how the obsessions and compulsions that they each battle differ. As someone who also suffers with OCD, I am able to share my personal experience and how it impacted my childhood and young adult life. Emily and Lindsay certainly turned lemons into lemonade by creating a jewelry company that pulls from lessons they learned from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. You can check out their beautiful creations on https://www.thinkpresently.com/ and follow them on Instagram @thinkpresently. Finally, I mention a YouTube video towards the end of the episode that had a major impact on my own personal growth.

Last week we discussed the hypocrisy of Cultural Christianity. This time we delve into society's current boogeyman of choice Christian Nationalism. Whether it is a true threat to our culture or not depends mostly on your politics. Either way it has true ramifications for the Kingdom of God and the Body of Christ, his Church. I will spend time discussing the rights we were guaranteed by God and whether a corrupt culture can guarantee us anything.

Cultural Christianity and Christian Nationalism are two ends of the Christian Spectrum. One ideology caves to the whims of the world while the other puts worldly concerns above the eternal salvation of the Gospel of Christ. In this first of two podcasts, I discuss Cultural Christianity. I define it, explain its motives, and delve into whether it is replacing Biblical Christianity. How should a true Christian be salt and light in a world demanding sugar and shadow?

What do you do when you're around the dinner table or visiting family over the holidays and hear someone share misinformation? How do you have productive conversations and truthful exchanges that bring people together? From fake narratives that drive violence to the mundane myths that build a false foundation, Amanda and Holly talk about common misconceptions they hear, what they see when talking about the dangers of Christian nationalism, and how you can find areas of agreement with others. They share some specific ways they would handle difficult statements in one-on-one conversations. In segment three, Holly and Amanda talk about the pros and cons of online worship from their own experience.   Segment one: Why is misinformation such a problem in Christian communities? (starting at 00:49): Amanda and Holly discuss this May webinar from the Council on Foreign Relations: Disinformation and Faith Communities, which featured Joan Donovan from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy, along with Ed Stetzer of Wheaton College's Billy Graham Center.  They also mention a piece Stetzer wrote for USA Today in September 2020: “Evangelicals need to address the QAnoners in our midst” Amanda wrote this column for Baptist News Global about Michael Flynn's troubling comments: If you're paying attention to Christian nationalism, you won't be shocked by Michael Flynn's call for ‘one religion under God'     Segment two: Handling difficult conversations with others (starting at 14:28) Learn more about the Christian Against Christian Nationalism campaign at christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org. Amanda referenced this summer's webinar: White Christian Nationalism: How Racism Undergirds Christian Nationalism Amanda read this Tweet from author Kaitlyn Schiess:The problem with the “confront your family about politics on Thanksgiving” thing isn't that we can't influence our families or shouldn't have those conversations, it's thinking one tense dinner will do it.  Long, compassionate faithfulness > “bold” one-time confrontation.   Here are some resources to help combat misinformation from the Christians Against Christian Nationalism website: Frequently asked questions Small group curriculum: Responding to Christian Nationalism Webinars, including “Confronting Christian Nationalism in Your Congregation” are at this link.

Kellen Criswell is a pastor, ministry leader, and former missionary who holds and MA in Global Leadership from Western Seminary and is currently working on his doctorate. He is the Executive Director of Calvary Global Network and has a heart for the mission of God and the global church. In this episode we discuss Missional Ecclesiology, which is a way of understanding the identity, purpose, and function of the church within the Missio Dei (mission of God). Ecclesiology is the discussion of what the Church is called to be and to do - including its nature, purpose, hopes, structures, and practices. We discuss how this concept works out practically, including a discussion of "foreign missions" and how they fit into this understanding. Furthermore, we discuss what the past nearly two years of pandemic has revealed about ecclesiology, and why there is hope as we move forward. Bibliography and recommended resources: Hirsch, Alan.

Join Pastor Greg Surratt for a fun, fascinating, and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Ed Stetzer. Their friendship spans two decades, collaborating on mission, church planting, and evangelism.   In this conversation, they'll cover pastoring in our political climate, post-pandemic opportunities for the church, and more. While there's a pervasive sense that our current situation is unprecedented, in reality, the church has been here before. What happened in 1968 – a time of civil unrest and a pandemic known as The Hong Kong Flu – reveals a lot about what might be ahead for us. They look ahead at how society's reopening, cultural turbulence, and changes emerging in a new economy might affect the church.   Dr. Stetzer is a professor and dean at Wheaton College who also serves as Executive Director of the Wheaton College Billy Graham Center. Stetzer has planted, revitalized, and pastored churches, and trained pastors and church planters. He's also a contributing editor for Christianity Today, and writes for news outlets such as USAToday and CNN. The Pastors Collective is Executive Produced by Greg Surratt.

Tragically, last week we all learned that Jarrid Wilson, associate pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in Riverside, California, had committed suicide. He was a husband and father of two. He was only 30-years-old.   Jarrid had founded a ministry called “Anthem of Hope,” in order to minister to people with depression and suicidal ideations. He ended his life on the same day he officiated the funeral of a Christian who had ended hers. About a year ago, Andrew Stoecklin, another 30-year-old pastor from California, also committed suicide. Like Wilson, he shared openly about his own battles with depression and anxiety. About a year before that, Wisconsin Pastor Bill Lenz took his life after bouts of depression and anxiety. Like Wilson, he had ministered extensively to many with depression and suicidal ideation, and had created a suicide-prevention ministry. In the fog of questions and grief, one thing is clear: Neither Christians nor Christian pastors are immune from the suicide epidemic that's sweeping our country. My friend Ed Stetzer wrote, in response to Wilson's death, that while all suicides are shocking, stories of pastors and other Christian leaders who take their own lives “cause questions to arise,” questions that are unique. Among them must be, why is there still such a lack of awareness about the emotional, psychological, and spiritual struggles pastors face? And also, where can pastors turn for help? It's no surprise that so many pastors and ministry leaders are reluctant to admit that they are struggling with sin, with depression, or with their family. They especially struggle to be vulnerable with those who “hold the power of the purse” in their lives and can shape the future of their careers. And, as Stetzer pointed out in his article, there is an Evangelical reluctance to look outside Christian circles for assistance, especially when it comes to mental health issues. It's as if by doing so, we'd be admitting that the Christian faith is somehow inadequate. It isn't, of course. The Christian faith not only explains who we are, it explains why truth and health can be found by those who carefully study God's world. As Ed put it, “God does not fix it all…Yet.” Or as Wilson himself wrote on Twitter the day he died, “Loving Jesus doesn't always cure suicidal thoughts,” and “Loving Jesus doesn't always cure depression,” or “PTSD and anxiety, for that matter.” Wilson ended his life on the eve of World Suicide Prevention Day, a day intended to draw attention to the enormity of the crisis in the U.S. and around the world. In connection with World Suicide Day, and in order to help us all answer the one question we should be asking right now—what can we do?—my friend Jeremiah Johnston has written an article explaining how Christians can make a difference when it comes to suicide and depression. It starts with knowing more about suicide and its causes. Among the most important thing to know is that “Mental illness is not a character flaw; it's a disease.” Similarly, it's “not a spiritual problem” in the sense it can be fixed with just “more faith” or “more church.”  Mental illness is a treatable medical condition. There remains too much stigma and shame in Christian circles when it comes to mental illness. That has to stop. Mental illness is treatable, but only if it's treated. By supporting those around us, the church can help make that more likely. So let's help. Just as Christians in the Roman Empire ran towards epidemics while everyone else was running away from them, we have a chance today to do the same. If you who are suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts: Please, seek help. There are folks who love you, care for you, and want to help. If you need help immediately, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK. That's 1-800-273-TALK.
