Now we are stuck in the middle, between that lost Eden and that future Garden City. So how now? In this Palm Sunday message, Alvin explores how reclaiming your identity as a temple of the Holy Spirit—a garden of divine presence—can revolutionize how you live, moving beyond mere tasks to manifesting God's life.Mark 11:1-11
Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:32-5Wyatt called to Mom as he raced down the stairs and toward the back door. "I'm heading out to my garden to weed." Wyatt had his own garden in the backyard and was looking forward to caring for his plants.Mom stuck her head out of the kitchen. "Can you take William with you, please? He's been wanting to go outside all day."Wyatt sighed. Taking William with him would make tending his garden go much slower with all the questions he would ask. Wyatt was tempted to complain, but thought better of it. Mom needed to take care of baby Rose since she was teething and feeling miserable. Besides, William could be cute sometimes. "William," Wyatt said, "do you want to come with me to the garden?""Yes!" William shrieked with delight. "Will you help me put on my shoes? Why do we have to go to the garden? What are we going to do there?"Wyatt sighed but smiled as he kneeled down to buckle William's sandals. "We need to go to the garden to pull weeds and care for the plants." William paused a moment, but soon thought of more questions. "How do we care for plants? Why do we pull weeds?" Wyatt continued to answer William's questions as they headed outside. "We care for the plants by checking to see what they need. They may need water or extra support. If we don't pull the weeds, the plants won't have room to grow." He knew there would be many more questions before the day was done. Mom and Dad had told him that asking questions was how William learned and that answering them kindly and carefully helped him grow and showed him God's love. The kind of love Jesus shows us, Wyatt thought. Love that is always patient as He helps us learn and grow.While William paused to chase a butterfly, Wyatt realized something. Showing patience and kindness to William wasn't that different from taking care of his plants. He decided he would keep tending William and do what was needed to help him grow.–Myrical Barton How About You?Do you get impatient when younger kids ask lots of questions? Does it annoy you when friends or classmates don't understand something? Remember that Jesus is patient and loving toward you and that you show His love to others by treating them the same way. Be patient with others and do all you can to help them grow.Today's Key Verse:Be patient, bearing with one another in love. (NIV) (Ephesians 4:2)Today's Key Thought:Be patient and help others grow
Jacintha continues the sermon series on Tending the Garden of the Inner Life by preaching about the Garden City at the end, found in the book of Revelation. The hope of Christ is that in the end, every tear will be wiped away, every thirst will be satisfied, every thing will be made new, and every transgression made right. Perhaps the best news is that Jesus invites to build the Garden City with him, beginning with the gardens of our inner lives.Revelation 21:1-8; 22:1-5, 17

There's something about Eden, the first garden at the beginning of history, that tells us about the original design of our humanity. It's been said you can never really understand what a fish is like until you study the sea. And if we are to understand something of how we are meant to be, we need only to look at the garden where it all began.

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. Arguably, the Bible speaks of the church more as an organism than an organization. The Church is the very life of Christ—His breath, His Spirit, His Word giving the church its being and vibrancy. To the degree that the church is filled with Jesus's Spirit (see Ephesians 5:18 and Galatians 5:16-24), to that degree it is fulfilling its purpose and bearing fruit. However, this is not to say Christ has given no organizational structure for the church. Of course, He has. Christ gave “the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:9 ESV). But even the responsibility of these leaders is often given in organic (“body of Christ”) or agricultural terms. The church leaders are workers in God's field or vineyard—sowing the seed of the gospel, watering and tending its growth as hard-working farmers (2 Timothy 2:6). They are not so much manufacturing disciples, as they are applying good farming techniques and trusting God to cause the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). Similarly, church leaders are to shepherd the flock of God (another agricultural reference), following the manner of the Good Shepherd, laying down their lives for the sheep (John 10; 1 Peter 5). The upshot of all this is that we must be serious-minded about submitting ourselves to those God has appointed for our care. God never intended the church to be a “free-range farm.” No! We need to be present when the church meets, submitting ourselves to one another (Ephesians 5:21), not wandering like lost sheep, doing our own thing. We need to do our best to remain firmly planted in the structures God has provided through our local churches, not uprooting ourselves with every wind of change. God has appointed the structure of the church and its leaders for our good. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.”~1 Corinthians 3:5-17 (ESV)
Our guest this time is Dr. Sula Windgassen. Having experienced recurring UTIs and chronic pain in her early twenties, she felt a strong urge to learn more about human health and, in particular, women's health, which is significantly under-researched. Since she made this conscious decision, she has become a health psychologist, cognitive behavioural therapist, EMDR therapist, and mindfulness teacher with over 10 years of experience working with people who have chronic illness in the NHS, academia, and private practice. She is one of the wisest voices on the internet when it comes to mental and physical health and is a much-needed figure in a world filled with health misinformation, oversimplifications, and massive extrapolations from the truth. I invited Sula to the podcast to talk about a range of topics related to mental health, physical health, and wellness. She knows all too well what many chronic sufferers are going through. The big motive behind her work is to prevent people with health issues from feeling as isolated and unheard as she did, and a key aspect of her success (in my opinion) is that she doesn't necessarily push the practices and tools that helped her recover from her health issues onto her patients. She knows that just because things worked for her, it doesn't mean that they will work for you, and this is rare in the world of health and wellness. In this podcast, we cover a lot. We hear about the profound role EMDR has played in influencing Sula's understanding of recovery, and we break down the common myth that certain physical health symptoms are all in your head, or that it's all trauma, or that it's all your nervous system. We unpack how the market and targeted online marketing are taking advantage of the eroding trust people have in public healthcare and the dangers attached to this. We talk about the healing power of being with our difficult emotions. We also discuss the role of connection and feeling heard on the road to recovery as well as the nuances around the benefits of mental imagery (see show notes for the referenced studies). If you want more from Sula, please see the links below. https://www.healthpsychologist.co.uk/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4974856/ https://www.instagram.com/the_health_psychologist_/?hl=en

I'm doing something a little different this week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast! I'm re-releasing an episode from a few years ago on Tarot and Parts Work, where I get nerdy about the therapeutic model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Jungian Depth Psychology through the lens of tarot.I have a few reasons for this: First, there's been a surge of interest in this intersection, so I want to bring more visibility to the topic for newer listeners. Second, I'll be traveling over the next few weeks and won't be able to record a new episode. So, whether this is your first time listening or a revisit, I hope you find new insights in this conversation.

“And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” (Genesis 3:15 NLT) The first promise of a Savior came almost immediately after the need for one was created. God designed a paradise for the first two humans. The Garden of Eden supplied their every need. Tending the garden gave them a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The perfect harmony of nature within the garden surely gave them a sense of emotional well-being. And God Himself walked in the garden in the cool of the evening. Because they spent so much time in God’s presence, it’s probably safe to assume that their every spiritual need was met. Everything in the garden was available to Adam and Eve—except the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. They were forbidden to eat it. God warned that if they disobeyed His one rule, the punishment would be death. But one creature in the garden cared little about God’s rule. The serpent convinced Eve to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. She, in turn, gave some to Adam, who ate it as well. When they realized what they had done, they hid. They hid because they realized that they were naked and because they were afraid of God’s punishment for their sin. Of course, nothing is hidden from God. Adam blamed Eve for their sin, and Eve blamed the serpent. God revealed to each of them the consequences of their actions. His judgment on the serpent is found in the passage above. In it, we find what some Bible scholars call the proto-evangelium—the first reference to God’s plan of salvation and redemption. The woman’s offspring is Jesus. He would do what Adam and Eve couldn’t do: live a sinless life. God didn’t kill Adam and Eve. But He also didn’t waive the punishment of death. That punishment would fall to their sinless offspring. “He will strike your head” refers to Christ’s ultimate victory over the serpent and his offspring. The apostle Paul wrote, “In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” (Colossians 2:15 NLT). And that ties into the final phrase of Genesis 3:15: “And you will strike his heel” (nlt). Christ’s ultimate victory would come at a cost. The shedding of sacrificial blood would be necessary. Genesis 3:7 says Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together to cover their nakedness—and, in a sense, to cover their sin. But look what God does in verse 21: “And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife” (nlt). An animal had to be sacrificed to cover them—and their sin. Hebrews 9:22 says, “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (NLT). In the third chapter of Genesis, we find the first promise of Jesus, the Savior, who would shed His innocent blood to provide forgiveness and salvation to everyone who believes in Him. What’s more, our ancient enemy was soundly defeated at the cross. There, he lost his stranglehold on the life of the human race. As a Christian, you have been set free by the power of Jesus Christ. Reflection question: What does God’s original plan, as well as His response to Adam and Eve’s disobedience, reveal about Him?

This year, our Living Compass daily readings for Lent will focus on Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit. In this episode, we look at the Parable of the Sower and discuss how tending the soil of our inner lives is good preparation for Lent.
I'm always quite reflective around my birthday and this episode was recorded only a few days after my 40th. So you'll hear musings on: rites of passage; why I suspect the point of being human may actually be relationship; how posturing and collapse both lead to burnout; the possible connection between being risk averse and not experiencing unconditional belonging; why a linear concept of progress might support us thinking we can avoid consequences… and how that seems to catch up to us in midlife; why learning to steward consequence might be necessary to feeling at home in our bodies and the world;…and, of course, more. As always, I welcome hearing what you think.With love,KateP.S.

For more than a decade, Ethan Tapper has been recognized as a thought-leader and a disruptor in the worlds of forestry, conservation, and ecosystem stewardship. He has many years of experience managing private and public forestlands. He has received numerous awards and distinctions, including Forester-of-the-Year, by the Northeast-Midwest Foresters Alliance. Ethan lives in Northern Vermont, where he manages a 175-acre forest and homestead called ‘Bear Island'…and rumor has it he is a musician in a punk-rock band. In his tender and fearless literary debut, Tapper proffers a more complex vision. He writes that we must act now in order to protect ecosystems, and that the actions we must take will often be counterintuitive, uncomfortable, even heartbreaking. In striking prose, he shows how bittersweet acts—like loving deer and hunting deer, loving trees and felling trees—can be radical expressions of compassion. In this poetic and visionary book, Tapper weaves a new land ethic for the modern world, reminding us that what is simple is rarely true, and what is necessary is rarely easy. Countless decisions await. There are no perfect solutions; only endless bittersweet compromises. How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World (Broadleaf Books, 2024) offers a clear-eyed, hopeful vision of a world in which so much is wrong and so much is worth saving. Michael Simpson has been actively working, researching and teaching in the watershed management and wetlands fields for 40 years. He is a licensed wetlands scientist where he has conducted numerous delineations, wetland assessments and restorations employing a variety of assessment approaches and data collection procedures, as well as designing wetlands for treatment of NPS run-off and wastewater. He has also held a position as graduate school Professor at Antioch University New England, where he has taught courses in wetlands ecology, watershed science and management, climate science & climate vulnerability and adaptation His primary research has been funded by both US EPA and NOAA, which has focused upon impact to natural systems and built infrastructure in riparian corridors and estuaries, from changes in land-use combined with increases in storm intensity and frequency due to projected climate change.

Send me a text!Vulnerability and tending to what is important is particularly critical in a chaotic time. After my wrapping my interview with Cher Hale, she inquired into my next steps around demanding attention.

To celebrate the forthcoming release of The Deep-Rooted Marriage, co-authored by Dan Allender and Steve Call, Dan and Becky Allender reflect on their own marriage story — its unique dynamics, the challenges they've faced, and the redemptive journey they've walked together. They open up about how their family-of-origin stories shaped their relationship in ways they didn't initially realize and the intentional work it took to build new, healthier ways of connecting, particularly over the past decade. Whether you're married, dating, or reflecting on other relationships in your life, we think Dan and Becky's vulnerability and hard-earned insights will resonate with anyone who has felt stuck in a pattern or wondered how to move forward toward healing. Their story is a powerful reminder that meaningful growth takes time, courage, kindness, and the willingness to engage your stories — together.
