Letting go is the name of the game in midlife. We're invited to open our hands, releasing what was and receiving what is. Whether it's a role we once held, a relationship that's shifted, a long-held dream, or even our health, midlife invites deep transformation through loss and renewal. In this episode, Krista Gilbert and Alex Kuykendall explore the sacred art of letting go through the lens of Scripture and grounded psychological insight. They discuss the necessity of grieving what's been lost while making space for new beginnings. Ultimately, letting go isn't a passive act - it's an intentional, faith-filled practice that opens the door to freedom, peace, and deeper trust in God's unfolding story. If you find yourself in a surrendering season, this episode is for you! TAKEAWAYS: It's essential to discern when to end something and when to persevere. Letting go is a gradual process, much like building a muscle. Midlife brings significant changes that require us to let go. Grief is a natural response to change and loss. Surrendering to God's will is a key aspect of faith. Self-regulation is essential in navigating life's transitions. Letting go can be painful, as it often involves loss of identity. Ending well is important for personal growth and closure. Recognizing expectations can help in the letting go process. Scripture provides numerous examples of letting go and trusting God. FEW THINGS MENTIONED Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 John 12:24 Episode 469- Who Am I if? QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU RISE Is there an area where you need to surrender? Thinking of Ecclesiastes 3, what season is changing for you right now? Can you form a statement much like in Ecclesiastes 3 that says there is a season for one thing and a season for another in your life, be specific in how your seasons are changing. What is God inviting you into as you discern your next steps? When have you been blessed by letting go? LET'S CONNECT! Did you like this episode?

Do you ever feel like nothing in your life will ever be good enough? In today’s honest and insightful episode, Heather Creekmore opens up about her struggles with CDD or “Chronic Disappointment Disorder”—a feeling that no achievement or special day is ever truly satisfying. She explores the root of this persistent discontent and uncovers how fear, envy, and comparison play into our longing for "enough." Heather dives deep into the heart-level issues fueling our dissatisfaction and shares practical wisdom on searching for true contentment in Christ. Drawing lessons from Tim Keller’s teachings on envy, Heather reveals how comparison, restlessness, and selfish ambition point us toward deeper spiritual problems, including idolatry. The episode is packed with personal stories, scriptural references, and actionable advice for anyone weighed down by the fear of never measuring up. If you struggle with body image, success, or just feeling like you’re perpetually missing out, Heather walks you through how to identify envy, repent, and redirect your heart toward worship and gratitude. Ultimately, this episode is filled with hope—reminding us that our deepest satisfaction can only be found in Jesus and in the coming kingdom. Episode Highlights: Personal stories of disappointment, from vacations to Mother's Day Discontent, envy, and their spiritual dangers How reslessness and comparison are more than just “bad habits”—they're rooted in envy The connection between body image, identity, and idolatry Scripture references: James 3:16, Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 13:4, Proverbs 14:30 Tim Keller’s two directions for overcoming envy: upward (fear of the Lord) and forward (hope in Christ for the future) The crucial role of repentance and confession—not just positive thinking Surrendering goals and desires to God for genuine change Turning discontent into worship and gratitude Resources & Links: The Comparison Free Life by Heather Creekmore* 40 Day Body Image Workbook* Tim Keller’s Sermons on Envy (Listen here) Connect with Heather: Compared to Who?

I never expected this conversation to take the turn it did. When Niko Kapoutsos—a former New York contractor turned trance medium—started explaining how our essence exists outside our bodies and demonstrated real-time trance connection, I knew we were exploring uncharted territory. In this profound episode, we move beyond traditional mediumship to explore trance mediumship's transformative potential—what it is, how it differs from evidential mediumship and channeling, and why this ancient form of communication is reemerging now. If you've ever wondered how to move beyond proof to profound spiritual connection, or how to recognize the expansive nature of your own consciousness, this conversation will change how you understand communication with spirit.00:00 Introduction to Trance Mediumship02:24 Welcome to Life, Death and the Space Between03:07 Meet Niko The Medium: From Skeptic to Practitioner09:11 Breath as the Anchor: Essence and the Auric Field10:29 From Contractor to Medium: Niko's Spiritual Awakening15:48 First Trance Experience and Surrendering the Ego23:50 Brainwave States: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Trance31:48 Accessing Trance States: Practical Methods38:59 Preparing for the Trance Demonstration40:52 Live Trance Demonstration: Collective Guidance51:05 Returning from Trance: The Physical Transition56:48 Essence to Essence Communication57:23 Niko's Books and Future Collaborations59:44 Closing Thoughts and Gratitude https://nikothemedium.com/ In The Space Between membership, you'll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

There comes a point in every entrepreneur's journey where strategy stops working. Where pushing harder only leads to burnout. And the only thing left to do… is surrender. This year has been that season for me — one of the deepest lessons into letting go of what no longer feels aligned and trusting what's meant for me, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Because learning to let go and surrender is essential if you want a successful business that flows with ease and is aligned with your highest purpose, energy, and evolution. In today's episode, I'm sharing what surrender really looks like in business — practically and spiritually — and how releasing control has opened the door to more clarity, creativity, and peace than I've ever felt before.

Mama, have you ever gone through an unimaginable experience with your child? Be encouraged knowing that God never leaves you! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik engages in a transformative conversation with Alisha Kapani, who shares her journey from struggling with severe depression to discovering the power of surrender and mind-body medicine. Alisha emphasizes that healing is not solely about external actions but involves an internal shift in consciousness and emotional awareness. The discussion explores the importance of letting go of control, the role of beliefs in shaping reality, and the integration of science and spirituality in healing practices. Alisha offers practical advice for listeners feeling stuck in their healing journey, encouraging them to embrace awareness and compassion towards their emotions. Takeaways Healing is not just about what we do, but how we surrender. Many people try everything except looking within for healing. Surrendering can create an opening for healing resources to appear. The intention behind healing actions matters more than the actions themselves. Your body knows how to dissolve emotion and heal itself. Awareness is the medicine that allows the body to heal. Beliefs shape our reality and can block healing. Mind-body medicine focuses on welcoming emotions for true healing. There is a bridge between science and spirituality in healing. Healing is possible, and you do not have to manage pain forever.

In this new episode, I invite you to journey with me through one of the most freeing lessons I've learned—releasing control and trusting God completely. As women of purpose, we often try to hold everything together—our goals, our families, our dreams—believing that if we just do more, push harder, or plan better, we'll finally find peace. But the truth is, real peace comes when we let go and let God lead. In this episode, I share how surrendering my need for perfection and control opened the door to deeper faith, self-love, and divine guidance. When I shifted from chasing achievements to aligning with God's will, I began to experience a calm confidence that no worldly success could give. Through personal stories and biblical reflections, I encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering—to allow God to direct your path, even when the outcome isn't clear. This isn't about giving up—it's about gaining alignment, impact, and peace.
We reacted to the best (and worst!) advice you shared about navigating your twenties. From finding faith-filled mentors to practical hacks like travel credit cards, we covered it all—yes, even a slightly controversial convo about giving up a dog. We laughed, we disagreed, and we got real about everything from building community to trusting God's voice in seasons of uncertainty. Whether we're looking back on our twenties or walking through them now, this episode reminded us how important it is to stay rooted in Jesus, go all in with our people, and keep saying yes to what He's doing.

Have you ever found yourself in a season of waiting—praying, longing, and wondering what God is doing? Maybe you’ve asked, “Lord, when will things change?” or “Why haven’t You moved yet?” If so, this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I’m joined by Jaime Jamgochian, Dove Award–nominated singer, songwriter, and author of Sacred Surrender: The Practice of Waiting Well with God. Jaime shares her powerful story of faith through illness, disappointment, and uncertainty—and how surrender, worship, and gratitude led her to deep peace and healing. In our conversation, Jaime helps us see that waiting isn’t wasted when we’re waiting with God. She reminds us that: * Surrendering to God leads to peace and joy* Worship is a powerful weapon in the waiting* Gratitude can shift our perspective and restore hope* Trusting God’s timing builds our faith* Community strengthens us when we feel alone Jaime’s words are a beautiful reminder that love, faith, and surrender are intertwined. When we loosen our grip on control, God fills our hands with His presence, His timing, and His peace. As you listen, I pray you’ll find rest in knowing that God is working even in the waiting—and that He is worthy of your trust. With love and grace,Rachael
Hannah Benson reminds us that even in seasons of deep heartache, God is near. Drawing on Psalm 34:18, this devotional illustrates how God gently removes our illusions of control and calls us to surrender, trusting Him through grief, loss, and uncertainty. In doing so, He transforms our pain into opportunities for growth and deepened faith. Highlights God draws near to the brokenhearted and saves those crushed in spirit. Painful loss and heartache can reveal areas of life where God desires greater trust and surrender. Surrendering to God, even amid fear and uncertainty, allows His grace and peace to work within us. Life’s trials can deepen intimacy with God, helping us lean on Him instead of our own control. Scripture reassures that Jesus remains constant and faithful, even when our hearts hurt (Hebrews 13:8). Join the Conversation How has God been present in your seasons of loss or heartache? Are you allowing Him to transform your pain into trust and growth?

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️
This episode is a special one. After a year of interviewing thoughtful, world-class guests, I wanted to share more of my own story. So I asked my dear friend, and episode 01 guest, James Clear, to turn the mic on me. We talk about the formative moments in my life— from childhood patterns and baseball memories to the inner work I've done to stop striving without purpose and start accepting myself more fully. I share why I believe that most successful people already know what to do—they just need help getting past their individual emotional blockers. We explore the coaching frameworks I use, the lessons I'm still learning, and why I no longer believe I have to suffer to do good in the world. This is the most personal conversation I've ever had on the show, and I'm incredibly grateful to James for holding it with so much care. Let's get to it!

Colonel Jeff McCausland analyzes the Gaza deal's sticking points: returning all hostages (due to fragmented control and deceased status) and Hamas surrendering weapons (their final leverage). The discussion moves to Venezuela, where a large US naval force suggests destabilization efforts against the Maduro regime, rather than merely counter-narcotics. McCausland then discusses Russian drone provocations across Europe, noting the European collective defense meeting in Copenhagen and the significant escalatory potential of providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles. 1915 GAZA

Patrick answers bold listener questions on the Garden of Eden, the destiny of Adam and Eve, and extraordinary biblical lifespans, blending these with heartfelt stories of marriage struggles and spiritual recovery. Surprises pop up as he discusses Catholic teachings on guardian angels, responds to debates about the Latin Mass and Martin Scorsese's saint documentaries, and even shares thoughts on mustache care. Brisk exchanges and raw honesty keep the conversation lively and unscripted. Lupe - Was the Garden of Eve real and did Adam and Eve go to Hell? Vinnie - I have a problem believing that people could live to 900 years old. How was that possible in the Bible? (06:47) Tom - My wife and I were separated 15 years ago, and we totally recovered from this. Surrendering and giving up really helped me. Your show really helped. (13:06) Sal (email) – Fr. Simon said it was okay to name your guardian angel. (20:14) Brother John - That earlier caller is turning the Church into a psychological issue.

(26:52) Shawn - Do you have any thoughts on the Martin Scorsese film, The Saints? (29:51) Brian - My dad took 4 years of Latin and ancient Greece. The New Mass doesn't give me any feeling.

What if everything you thought about your pain was backwards? What if you're not the hero who has to fix it all - you're the supporting character in a story God is writing about Jesus? This convicting message exposes the trap of "emotional vampirism" - making your pain your identity and draining everyone around you while refusing to surrender to Christ. Discover why your crisis is God's platform, why His delays reveal deeper love, and how your suffering writes a story about Jesus that brings others to faith.
In June of 2001, the Esalen Institute hosted Eckhart Tolle for a weekend workshop. By that time, Tolle's book The Power of Now had already begun an improbable ascent, exploding from a totally unknown into something of a cultural phenomenon. The central insight of Eckhart Tolle's work is that the future doesn't hold your salvation, and it doesn't pay to get lost in the past, either. What we long for, what we chase after, what we regret, all of it obscures the deeper truth: the only real place life exists is in this living present moment. In this archival talk that Tolle gives in the Leonard Pavilion at Esalen, he moves through his major themes. He talks about: • Identification with thought - that most of us unconsciously believe we are our thoughts and emotions, which creates suffering and an endless search for fulfillment. • Surrendering and saying ‘yes' to what is: what can happen when you stop resisting the moment and accept exactly what arises, even if it is painful. • the relief that comes in resting in presence.

In this raw conversation with Sara Mayberg, we explore Sara's personal process of Teshuvah and the path back to her divine soul, as someone who was already committed to her Jewish practice. We discuss how the inherent nature of the divine soul is to want G-d, how Sara began to develop a visceral experience of trust, and how grief can crack us open in transformative ways.
