Writer and English professor Karen Swallow Prior has noticed a trend among her students: they're not sure how to think biblically in a world grappling with social issues that change by the minute. People talk at length about these issues on social media, where the comments section can devolve into a name-calling free-for-all in a matter of seconds. Karen shares how to keep yourself open enough to reconsider your views without compromising your values, and how to have civil conversations seasoned with grace among people you may not see eye to eye with, both online and off. She also reminds us that believers bear an important responsibility: anytime we enter the public arena, we need to make sure to take the Spirit with us. Quotes “I think the most important thing is to be filled by the Spirit. We know when we're filled with the Holy Spirit, because we'll exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. We'll exhibit love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and—perhaps most importantly in this age—self-control.” —Karen Swallow Prior “I've had to put it in the Lord's hands. I plan my way, I hone my craft, I try to do good work, but I really believe that it's all the Lord's doing. And so I call Him now the Lord of my schedule, because I just want every part of my day and all of my work to be guided by Him and the opportunities to be guided by Him. Everything that I end up doing, I want to glorify Him.” —Karen Swallow Prior, on her writing career “As the world changes, we see more Christians who hold very different views on what to me are very fundamental issues. I see it as an opportunity to think about their view and ask myself why I think theirs is wrong and mine is right. Then I also ask, ‘Well, maybe there's something in between.'” —Karen Swallow Prior Karen's LinksKaren's Website Karen's Facebook Karen's Twitter Karen's Instagram Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeCultural Engagement by Karen Swallow Prior Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Religion News Service Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram

As an RN with a background in Critical Care and Pastoral Care Ministry, Karen has seen first hand the devastation of disease and poor dietary habits that have many people taking medications because of preventable diseases. It wasn't until she suffered with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years and then was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2011, that she began her own personal journey of challenging conventional medicine regarding processed foods vs. Food as Medicine. She returned to school to study nutrition and learned that excess sugar, gluten, and dairy was contributing to her illnesses. It was then that she changed her diet, lost weight and learned that our bodies can heal themselves when we treat it well with proper whole foods from the earth. Karen wrote a book, “Lose the Sugar, You're Sweet Enough “ She also gives seminars and teaches healthy eating. She has done quarterly cooking shows that play on the TV's at Mercy Hospital as an educational tool for the patients. Karen values religion and has volunteered through her church as a Hospital Coordinator Praying for the sick and has done educational talks on treating the body as a temple. In the past she has enjoyed and participated in the Pastoral Ministry Program at Roswell Cancer Institute and volunteered for the American Heart Association for over 17 years.

Karen Carter is a professional Feng Shui consultant and healthy lifestyle designer, educator and best-selling author of "Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life" and "Make a Shift, Change Your Life." She coaches, trains and empowers people to use a variety of techniques to improve and enrich all areas of their lives. In this episode, we find out if moving things on your desk, in your home and in your office can really change your life! Karen shares that Feng Shui is a method of mindfully arranging your space so that it supports you. She says that she was originally a skeptic, but needed to learn Feng Shui to get a project as a landscape architect. Quantum physics plays a part in it, as everything is energy. Karen adds that Feng Shui deals with all the things you might never think of that could be detrimental to you, as well as minor things. “Little, tiny and subtle things can make a big difference” She started applying Feng Shui to her house, and soon after a major publisher contacted her to write a book that she hadn’t even pitched. She feels that you should start by looking at changes that can be made in your home, as you spend a lot of time there. Karen focuses on her bed, as it’s a health generating area of the home. With Feng Shui, it’s about setting your intention, your goals and what you want to do. “I’m not really that interested in fixing a house as much as I am changing the outcome of somebody’s life” If you have a business, you need to look at the biggest challenges you are facing, and get very specific with tracking. For example, it could be revenue generation, before and after Feng Shui is implemented. A few suggestions she has for business owners is to make the front door inviting, easy to see and ensure it opens freely. A fresh and clean welcome mat will provide “inviting energy.” Karen says that her rule is that whatever is closest to you will have the most impact, and she advises that you clear out the things that don’t support you anymore. “If you are to truly propel yourself forward, cut the ties of the past that doesn’t serve you” She believes that a lot of interior designers resist learning about Feng Shui as they feel it will be limiting to them. Displaying your credentials (certificates, diplomas, etc.), getting a permanent work space as well as putting a plant in the prosperity area of your desk are just some suggestions she has. Karen shares that you can always learn more to master Feng Shui. “You have to know the basic rules, then apply” When launching a product, trust in the universe and have something to anchor you against the anxiety, stress and energy (see Karen’s YouTube video in “INTERVIEW LINKS”). She believes in “planning the party”, or celebrating something that hasn’t happened yet. Karen concludes by reminding people to be mindful of where you want to go, and who you are. “Look around; see what you’re surrounding yourself with” Submit Your Question!
