To kick off another series of Special Guest Interviews on Another Way - the official Project You podcast, I am joined by one of the UK's leading Love Coaches - the woman who transformed my own love life - Vicki Pavitt.Vicki Pavitt is a Love, Dating & Relationship Coach who helps big-hearted women heal dating blocks and create secure and healthy love. She's an NLP and EFT practitioner, an attachment styles expert, and a former Dating & Relationship expert for Match.com. Over 12 years, she's supported 1,000+ women through her signature Wholehearted Dating programme, with features across major outlets like Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Elle, The Independent, and BBC Radio. And for for 8 years she and I co-hosted the Project Love podcast (half a million + downloads).And so I was SO excited to finally be reunited with my business wife and podcasting partner-in-crime, to dive deep into a topic that I find endlessly fascinating: the topic of how to transform your love life, with a wholehearted approach to love and dating. In this conversation we get into:* why so many of us find dating so hard to do* how we can think we're wide open and available to love, without realising we have our walls up to it (that was me when I first started to work with Vicki!)* our attachment styles and how they play out in dating and relationships* what to look out for in those early days of getting to know someone* Vicki's wholehearted approach to dating that has helped 1000s of women (including me) find love in the past 12 years* How you can work with Vicki

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings explains that singing engages your body, mind, and heart, helping you love God with your whole being and imprint biblical truth through song.

Chazal teach that on Rosh Hashanah, Hashem judges every individual based on what he did every second of every day over the past year. With this knowledge, we should be doing everything in our power to make teshuvah and improve our ways. Especially now, in the month of Elul, when Hashem reveals an outpouring of mercy towards us, we must take advantage of this opportunity. But is there something we can do, in addition, that will make the judgment easier? The Ba'al HaTurim, commenting on the pasuk " תמים תהיה עם ה' אלקיך " , writes that whoever fulfills this mitzvah is considered as if he fulfilled the entire Torah, from aleph to tav. What does this mean? It means that one who does not worry about the future, but trusts that Hashem is leading him on the perfect path, and accepts wholeheartedly the way Hashem deals with him—without questions or complaints—is credited as if he has kept the entire Torah. Rabbi Menashe Reizman asked: Doesn't the Gemara say that it is forbidden to think that Hashem is a vatran —that He simply overlooks our wrongdoings? One of the fundamentals of emunah is that Hashem rewards mitzvot and punishes averot. If so, how can it be that someone who trusts Hashem's dealings with him, but still has sins, should be considered as if he fulfilled the entire Torah? Rabbi Reizman explained: It's not only the Ba'al HaTurim who says this. It is explicit in the pesukim themselves. In Parashat Balak, it says, " לֹא הִבִּיט אָוֶן בְּיַעֲקֹב וְלֹא רָאָה עָמָל בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, ה' אֱלֹקָיו עִמּוֹ וּתְרוּעַת מֶלֶךְ בּוֹ ". These words are read in the Malchuyot section of the Musaf Amidah of Rosh Hashanah. Rashi explains this pasuk to mean that Hashem is not exacting with a person for his sins—even when he angers Him. Why? Because such people do not preoccupy themselves with trying to figure out the future. Instead, they place their full trust in Hashem. And because of this, Rashi says, they become worthy of blessing. What is the explanation? There are two ways a person can go through life. One way is with constant questioning: Why is my life the way it is? Why does he have so much blessing while I don't? Why does he have such good children and I struggle? Why does everyone else seem to get the good positions and I don't? Why are his daughters married off so easily, while mine are waiting so long? This is the natural human way—always comparing, always doubting, always feeling that life is unfair. If someone chooses this path, then Hashem treats him with the same precision. Hashem will look into his deeds with equal scrutiny: Why don't you concentrate on the words of tefillah? Why don't you have proper kavanah when you say berachot? But if a person does not question Hashem, if he refuses to ask "why" or "is this fair," and instead accepts that everything Hashem does is absolutely fair, upright, and the very best possible outcome—even when, from our limited perspective, it looks as if Hashem is doing "wrong" with us—then Hashem responds measure for measure: You don't question My actions, I won't question yours. This is not considered Hashem overlooking our sins. It is not a case of Hashem being a vatran . On the contrary—it is deserved. We have earned this special relationship. If we are tamim im Hashem Elokecha , then Hashem is tamim with us. This is a wondrous principle. But it is far easier said than done. The nature of man is to compare himself to others, to feel lacking, to complain—especially when things seem unfair. People try to improve, but the salvation they hope for does not always come. People pray with all their hearts, but do not always see their prayers answered. People think they have so much bitachon, but then they feel let down. Everyone has reasons they would naturally want to question. But if we can rise above that nature, if we can truly trust Hashem's will for us and believe with all our hearts that whatever is happening is absolutely the best thing for us, then we will enter a new category of human being: one who is tamim im Hashem Elokecha . And that comes with the most amazing benefits.

I'm sure you have heard the phrase in church about having Wholehearted Devotion to Jesus. I heard it again this week at church and I found myself agreeing with it, yet not being sure what it means and how to do that. Our hearts are so divided between our family and friends, our hobbies and our desires. Then you throw in verses like Psalms 86:11 that says to “Unite my heart to fear Your name.” How can we say with all integrity that we are wholeheartedly devoted to Jesus with so many things tugging on our affections? I believe that RTF can help you answer that question. That is the topic of this weeks podcast.

This Sunday in our study of Deuteronomy we will hear the Shema, Israel's central confession: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deut. 6:4–5). At the very center of faith is love—love for God that overflows in love for neighbor. In an age discipled by violence and contempt, Deuteronomy reminds us that God's people are called to be shaped by love, embodying a different way of being human together.

Our spirit is willing, but our body often resists.In this message, we unpack what it truly means to become Whole, where our body becomes just as willing, capable and ready as our spirit. Wholeness requires more than good intentions; it calls for extreme faith. This is the kind of faith Abraham lived out; the type that takes action, pursues God's promises, and holds firm even when the evidence points the other way.Visit Our Website for more info, content, and to support our Ministry.

"Curiosity invites us to go deeper." In this episode, Nick speaks with TJ Woodward to explore conscious recovery, healing from trauma, and the importance of self-awareness in personal growth. TJ shares his journey from childhood experiences to addiction and recovery, emphasizing the significance of understanding core beliefs and the role of curiosity in healing. What to listen for: Life is about returning to our true selves, not about attaining something Childhood experiences significantly shape our beliefs and behaviors Unresolved trauma, spiritual disconnection, and toxic shame are root causes of addiction Awareness is crucial for healing, but it can also be painful Curiosity can lead to deeper understanding and growth Making peace with the past is essential for overcoming core false beliefs The lens through which we view the world is shaped by our experiences Healing trauma requires acknowledging and caring for our wounds The unconscious mind often dictates our responses and behaviors “Can I be in that in the midst of it? I wanna honor the pain. I wanna honor the experience. I'm not gonna bypass and pretend like it's not happening. But in the midst of that, it's like, I'm wondering what wants to emerge. What else is possible for me?” Being present with pain is powerful, it's not weakness, it's deep self-awareness Honoring what you're going through creates space for real transformation Emotional bypassing might feel easier, but it blocks growth In every struggle, there's potential for something new to be born Asking “what else is possible?” invites curiosity, healing, and forward movement “We can kind of change the past because the past is the narrative in our head and it's the energy associated with it.” The past isn't fixed — it lives in the stories we tell ourselves Shifting our perspective can shift how we feel about what happened Healing is about rewriting the emotional charge, not denying the facts Your story is yours to evolve, and that's real power Changing your relationship with the past changes who you become in the present About TJ Woodward TJ is a Revolutionary Recovery Expert, Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Addictions Treatment Specialist, host of The Element Q Podcast, and Best-Selling Author.

The Wholehearted Series – Inspired by Brené BrownWelcome to The Wholehearted Series on The Next Brave Thing podcast.This special season is a deep dive into what it means to live from the inside out—with integrity, alignment, and courage. Inspired by the transformative work of Dr. Brené Brown, we're exploring the ten guideposts for wholehearted living from her book The Gifts of Imperfection.Often, when we're trying to find balance and healing, we find ourselves swinging between extremes. This series is about learning to live from your core values—not the ones handed to you by culture, family, or fear—but the ones that arise from your truest self. It's about replacing the old operating system of punishment, people-pleasing, and perfectionism with one built on compassion, trust, and authenticity.Living wholeheartedly means getting our soul, body, and spirit on the same page—no more compartmentalizing, no more hustling for worth. It's learning to recognize the difference between sacrifice and self-abandonment, and letting go of black-and-white thinking in favor of something deeper, slower, and more whole.Throughout the series, we'll unpack these ten guideposts:Cultivating Authenticity – Letting go of what people thinkCultivating Self-Compassion – Letting go of perfectionismCultivating a Resilient Spirit – Letting go of numbing and powerlessnessCultivating Gratitude and Joy – Letting go of scarcity and fear of the darkCultivating Intuition and Trusting Faith – Letting go of the need for certaintyCultivating Creativity – Letting go of comparisonCultivating Play and Rest – Letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worthCultivating Calm and Stillness – Letting go of anxiety as a lifestyleCultivating Meaningful Work – Letting go of self-doubt and “supposed to”Cultivating Laughter, Song, and Dance – Letting go of being cool and always in controlMy hope is that as you listen, your heart would widen, your body would relax, and your spirit would sit up taller. May you reconnect with emotions like joy, wonder, and peace—feelings that don't need to be earned, just remembered.Brené's words have served as a kind of midwife in my own life—delivering me into deeper truth, integrity, and freedom. This series is my way of passing on that gift to you.Let's walk the wholehearted way—together.Get your free Wholehearted Living journal prompts. https://calm-sun-843.myflodesk.com/x5yo2oyoyuBook a free discovery coaching call: www.ella-hooper.comFollow me on Instagram:@ella.hooper__

Sometimes when we are conflicted, it's easier to just dismiss our feelings and try not to think about it. But this seldom ever works and usually only makes matters worse. Even though it is hard, we need to take it to God and let Him help us sort it out and find the right course of action.

Malachi Series

David Torres • Psalm 138:1–138:8

Let me ask you a question. Do you love God with your whole heart? It's a powerful question, isn't it? Perhaps you feel a bit convicted by the question. Our hearts are so easily divided among a lot of things we love and desire. We can be tempted to love God, but to do so without giving Him our whole heart. Main Points:1. As I think about our lives, I recognize that one of the primary obstacles to wholehearted devotion to God is simply distraction. In a world filled with noise and busyness, it's easy to allow our attention to be diverted from God. We become preoccupied with the cares of life, the pursuit of success, or the allure of entertainment. 2. Our hearts, meant to be wholly His, are divided among competing interests. As a result, our love for God can become diluted.  Our love for God is downgraded to a corner of our lives, rather than occupying the central throne it deserves.3. We also know that sin entangles us and obstructs our path to following God wholeheartedly. Whether it be overt sins or even subtle compromises, sin separates us from God and disrupts the intimacy of our relationship with Him. Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 22:37-38 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.”Numbers 13:30 - “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”Numbers 14:24 - "The Lord said, “Because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.” Joshua 14:14 -  “because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.”Hebrews 12:2  - “…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
