Do you write 3 paragraphs when "no" would be enough?Do you feel guilty for hours after setting one small boundary?You don't have a communication problem. You have a trauma response called over-explaining. And in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly where it comes from and how to stop.Over-explaining is what happens when you were raised to believe that your "no" wasn't enough. That you had to JUSTIFY your feelings to be taken seriously. That if you just explained BETTER, he would finally understand you.He understood you. He just didn't care. And your 10-paragraph explanation won't make him care.Wholeness looks better than desperation and whole women don't explain. They state.If this episode makes you feel seen, share it with the friend who also sends voice note essays.She needs this.

You set out to have more faith, not to practice witchcraft, so nothing about your prayer life ever felt like sorcery. You were quoting Scripture the whole time. You learned to declare the promise, stand on the Word, and pray until the breakthrough came. But somewhere in there your prayers quietly stopped being surrender and became leverage; you found the verse that guaranteed the outcome you already wanted and began aiming it at your finances, your marriage, your body, less like a child asking a Father and more like a technician working a system, and you never stopped to ask what He might want to change in you before He changed anything around you. My guest today is Christa Black Singh. Christa Black Singh spent years at the center of Christian worship, writing songs the church still sings and touring the world's biggest stages, before a search for healing pulled her one degree at a time into manifestation, astrology, tarot, energy work, and finally ayahuasca and plant-medicine ceremonies in Costa Rica, where she lost nearly everything before Jesus brought her home. She came back able to name what most of us cannot see: that the New Age and the prayer meeting are often running the same operating system. In this conversation, we take the cover off all of it: manifestation, Christian witchcraft, the divine feminine, New Thought and the law of attraction, and the self-help gospel that has climbed into too many pulpits under the name of a life-coach Jesus who asks nothing of you and changes nothing in you. Here is what makes it dangerous. It works. The counterfeit really does deliver the house, the outcome, the feeling, and it sends the invoice later, because a power that gives you what you want has become the source you now answer to. The question this conversation forces is not whether the New Age is real. It is whether you have been trying to run your own life as god and calling it Christianity. Wholeness never comes through control; it comes through surrender, through the fear of the Lord, through daily repentance and a hunger for Jesus Himself rather than what He can get you. So before you decide this one is about someone else, look honestly at your own prayers and ask which of them have been trying to bend God's arm instead of bowing your knee. Guest Bio Christa Black Singh is a songwriter and worship musician who spent years at the center of the Christian music world, writing for artists and movements the church still sings and touring for more than a decade with Michael W. Smith, before a long search for healing led her out of the faith and into the New Age through manifestation, energy work, and plant-medicine ceremonies that cost her nearly everything. She has since returned to Jesus and now speaks openly about the deception she once taught, helping others recognize the counterfeit and close the doors it opened. She hosts the Head to Heart podcast and teaches on spiritual discernment, deliverance, and healing.

We are inundated with negative, objectifying messaging about our bodies in the church and by our culture. As a result, most of us live disconnected from our bodies. When we struggle with pornography, sex addiction, or experience sexual betrayal , many of us experience even more disconnection from our physical bodies and maybe even a load of shame about this vital part of who we are.   Dr. Dave Janvier is a licensed therapist, certified sex therapist, and spiritual director who works at the intersection of faith, neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual formation. What he brings to this episode may reframe almost everything you have been taught about your body, desire, and what God actually intended sexuality to be.   Kristin and Dr. Dave explore: What it means to be embodied — and why most of us, men and women both, are profoundly disconnected from our bodies How the church's legacy of body-shame and flesh-as-sinful thinking has deepened the very wounds it was trying to prevent The healing power of the ancient Hebraic understanding of a unified, integrated self Why sex addiction is, at its root, an intimacy disorder — and why acting out doesn't mean someone is too into their body; it means they're not embodied enough How betrayal trauma fragments the nervous system in specific, predictable ways — and what integration actually requires What scripture reveals about what God's design for sexuality and why sexuality and spirituality cannot be separated A live grounding practice you can use today, in your body, right now Your body is not the enemy. It never was. And the path back to wholeness is more integrated, spiritual, and grounded in hope than you may have been told.   Learn more about our programs: https://living-truth.org   The Living Truth Podcast: Conversations that shed light on the deeper issues that unlock healing from porn addiction, sex addiction, and sexual betrayal. #LivingTruthPodcast #ChristianRecovery #FaithAndHealing #AddictionRecovery #MenInTheBattle #WomenInTheBattle #LivingTruth

Sometimes the symptoms we experience are not the real problem. They are messages from the body asking us to pay attention. In this reflective episode, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza unpack the powerful lessons from their recent series on self-violation, trauma, stress, and finding your voice. Together, they explore how chronic stress, suppressed emotions, unresolved experiences, and daily habits can influence physical health, particularly thyroid function. Through personal stories and practical examples, they challenge listeners to become more curious about what their bodies may be trying to communicate.  The conversation highlights the importance of viewing health through the lens of the Four Quadrants of Wellbeing: mechanical, chemical, energetical, and psycho-spiritual. From gut health and nervous system regulation to emotional honesty and self-awareness, Dr. Robin shares how seemingly unrelated symptoms may be connected to deeper patterns in our lives. This episode serves as an invitation to slow down, listen to your body, speak your truth, and embrace a whole-person approach to healing and long-term wellbeing.  Key Takeaways:   Your body is constantly communicating through symptoms, and curiosity is often the first step toward healing.   Chronic stress, unresolved emotions, and lifestyle habits can influence thyroid health and overall wellbeing.   Looking at health through the Four Quadrants of Wellbeing helps uncover root causes instead of only treating symptoms.   Speaking your truth and becoming honest with yourself can be an important part of emotional and physical healing.   Small daily habits like quality sleep, movement, blood sugar balance, and nervous system regulation can significantly impact long-term health.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union.

It is amazing to see Jesus' character revealed in his responses to faith and his efforts to maintain a low profile despite his great works from Mark 7:24-37.

Have you ever wondered what the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) is actually saying? Drawing on insights from ancient Mesopotamian erotic poetry, Russell Zahniser breaks down the two models of male sexuality featured in the Song of Songs. Listen to discover how this mysterious book of the Bible speaks out against coercive, fast-paced sex, advocating instead for mutual consent and genuine bonding. You'll also hear Russell tell his personal story of sexual development, what he has learned about arousal, and why sex is so much more than intercourse.Russell Zahniser is a writer and researcher who wanted to use the Song of Songs as a starting point to give to his sons a picture of healthy, mutual sexuality. What he found instead was a desperate plea to reimagine male sexuality and how we define sex itself.

Enjoy this conversation with Liza Rankow, author of Soul Medicine for a Fractured World.Liza J. Rankow, PhD, MHS, is an interfaith minister, educator, activist, and author. Her lifework centers the deep healing that is essential to personal and social transformation. She is the founder and former executive director of OneLife Institute, which for almost 20 years nurtured the well-being of frontline changemakers. Liza has been a spiritual counselor and teacher for over three decades. Her new book is Soul Medicine for a Fractured World: Healing, Justice & the Path of Wholeness.During our interview, we discuss all things medicinal. We talk about life and death. The sacred. Our deep connection with the earth. Justice tending and weaving, and the remaking of the world.

Several months ago, I heard Unity minister Rev. David Alexander share an idea that has stayed with me ever since: Wholeness isn’t the goal; it’s the starting point. The more I’ve contemplated those words, the more I’ve found myself returning to them—not simply as an inspiring thought, but as something to be lived. Deep within, I believe our essential nature is already whole, already complete, already untouched by the changing circumstances of life. This meditation is an invitation to experience yourself from that perspective. Rather than striving to become whole, what if you began by remembering that you already are? How might that shift the way you relate to your challenges, your relationships, and your path forward? My hope is that this practice leaves you with a renewed sense of freedom, inner sovereignty, and the quiet ease that comes from resting in the truth of who you are.

The meeting, led by Monica, focused on the concept of "wholeness over perfection" for real estate professionals. Monica discussed how striving for perfection can lead to stress and suggested that building resilience and authenticity is more beneficial. She emphasized embracing opposites, such as balancing confidence with humility and courage with caution, to achieve wholeness. Monica introduced the acronym "WHOLE" to remember key principles: Wisdom, Harmony, Opportunity, Leadership, and Evolving. She encouraged attendees to shift from a reactive to a creative mindset, take action despite fear, and focus on serving clients authentically. The session concluded with a reminder that wholeness is about integrating all aspects of oneself, not the absence of weakness.

In this deeply honest conversation, Erin Kerry opens up about living with PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder—and the labels that once defined her. As a nutritionist and health coach, Erin shares how she moved from shame and self-limiting beliefs to a place of healing, hope, and wholeness.

Original Post Date: July 30, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 13:36-43 Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field." He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the Kingdom. The weeds are the children of the Evil One, and the enemy who sows them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his Kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.” Reflection The story of Adam and Eve can lead one to misunderstand something very essential. God has not created people in a way that they are evil. God's creation is goodness. Wholeness. Fullness. Light. Life. And what he wants his disciples to understand with this parable he said, I want you to know that evil exists in the world. It does not come from you, but it is there, planted there by some evil force. And the work that we have is to first and foremost understand its goal. The goal of evil is to separate us from God, himself and from others. When we feel that, when we see that, that's when we call upon the grace of God to say, please help me understand that I am made to be one with you, with myself and my brothers and sisters. Closing Prayer Father, shame is a big part of our lives, and when we do participate in something that is wrong, that goes against our nature, we tend to begin to feel that we are somehow evil or broken or unacceptable. Help us to get past that shame and enter into the kingdom where we can see and feel the beauty and the dignity of every human being. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Our Bodies, God's Home. He wants a wholesome home. When it comes to our relationship with bodies, our culture and Christianity send mixed messages. How are we to view and treat our bodies?

What would feeling fundamentally whole do for you? Knowing that trauma hadn't damaged the essence of You? That You are intact underneath your trauma, despite your trauma? Listen in as adoptee and Emotional Healing and Integration Guide Danielle asks me some great questions and I do my best to answer them. Here's a bit about Danielle from her website: "I suppose my own healing journey began the moment I was born.  Relinquished by my birth mother, I was  adopted by two amazing humans. However, heartache set in as I watched the mother who cared for me everyday struggle profoundly with a mental illness brought on by her own childhood trauma. From the age of six years old, I did everything I could to help her, care for her, and make her happy. The pain of watching my mother suffer, as well as a deeper pain I didn't understand until much later – the pain of my own relinquishment trauma – trained me to be a highly sensitive, empathic little person.  I developed a healing heart, full of compassion and love for the suffering of humanity and the earth, yet unable to shine that same light on myself.  Instead, I tortured myself with deep insecurities, debilitating anxieties and incessant fears, all in an attempt to grasp for some kind of control in an unsafe world.  For more information about my story, please check out my memoir, Healing Tree. I experienced self-love for the first time in my life when I was twenty-two years old.  It was in the year 2000 when I met and fell in love with the principles of Brain Education and the ancient Korean mindfulness practices of Body & Brain, discovering the profound power of energy healing.  From that moment, I whole-heartedly threw myself into my emotional healing and spiritual growth journey, eventually leading me to share the tools that changed my life with others."

Dr. Cristine Hull is an integrative mental health practitioner, author, and developer of the Zero Point Meridian technique. With a Master's in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Natural Medicine, she brings over two decades of experience as a substance abuse counselor, school psychologist, and private practitioner. Drawing from her own journey through depression, anxiety, addiction, and a profound spiritual awakening, Cristine works at the intersection of brain chemistry, energy medicine, and the quantum field. She is the creator of the Four Bodies model and trains practitioners in tools that address the physical, vital, mental, and quantum levels of healing. Based in northern Utah, she continues to teach, write, and guide people toward deeper wholeness through her work at Health, Healing & Wholeness.In this episode, Cristine and I cover a wide-ranging conversation that moves from brain chemistry and addiction into spiritual awakening, energy medicine, and what real healing actually requires.Cristine shares her personal journey through severe depression, anxiety, and substance use, and how those experiences led her into decades of work as a counselor and integrative practitioner. She introduces her Four Bodies model (physical, vital, mental, and quantum) and explains why most lasting change has to address more than just the physical level. The conversation explores sugar as part of the narcotic continuum, the difference between dopamine and endorphin addiction, the spiral of recovery she developed while teaching in a jail, and the powerful spiritual experience she had on Yom Kippur that shifted everything. We also dig into entities and generational energy, the development of her Zero Point Meridian technique, the “neutral game” for quieting the mental body, and why conventional mental health often falls short with personality disorders and chronic pain. Cristine closes by pointing back to the deeper truth underneath the endorphin chase: capital-L Love.Timestamps0:00 – Elevator pitch / “junkyard love” framing and four bodies intro1:30 – Four Bodies for Medicines ebook and physical vs. vital/mental/quantum3:00 – Wind analogy for spirit/effects on the physical body4:30 – Personal history: chemical imbalance, depression, anxiety, substances6:30 – First career in substance-abuse counseling; self-medication insight8:00 – Serotonin, carbs, Potatoes Not Prozac, wheat sensitivity discovery9:30 – Endorphins as “inner orphan” / morphine parallel; sugar as narcotic continuum11:00 – Dopamine vs. endorphins; cocaine, bipolar diagnosis, mastering the middle path13:00 – Love addiction, romantic craving, spiral model (abstinence → moderation → attainment)15:00 – Jail curriculum development; 20 years clean vs. relationship patterns still unresolved16:30 – Yom Kippur night/boyfriend breakup; Day of Atonement context18:00 – Light shaft experience through the crown/spine; “whole and complete through divine connection”19:30 – Kundalini as vital-body tool (chakras, meridians, aura)21:00 – Growing up Christian, leaving religion, seeking freedom from guilt and pain22:30 – Cocaine phase; friend returning from overdose funeral; entity/attachment theory24:30 – “Perverse energy” (Quantum University language); generational clearing26:00 – First Kundalini session clearing grandfather's heavy emotion27:30 – EFT training (2002–2003, Gary Craig); shift to private practice29:00 – Zero Point Meridian (ZPM) development; claimed superiority data vs. EMDR31:00 – Mental body chaos of positive/negative thinking; neutrality / “neutral game”34:00 – Yoga entry via client accountability + Baron Baptiste Journey into Power36:00 – Gap between stimulus and response; mind-body necessity of yoga37:30 – TM interest; Vipassana documentary (Doing Time, Doing Vipassana)39:00 – Mahasati movement meditation; fear that stillness = non-existence / black hole41:00 – Moving through zero; zero-point field → unified field; John Hagelin / Frank Kinslow52:00 – Limits of conventional mental health on personality disorders (narcissism, borderline, ego structures)54:00 – Spiritual/quantum solution as transformative where pills and talk therapy fall short56:00 – Quantum Solutions Masterclass / ego-structure component57:30 – Chronic pain and the pain body (Eckhart Tolle); noticing pain-free body parts as anchors59:00 – Endorphins at quantum level = capital-L Love; closing gratitudeKEYWORDS:Four bodies model, Zero Point Meridian, ZPM technique, quantum body, vital body, endorphin continuum, sugar addiction recovery, love addiction spiral, attainment model, perverse energy, generational clearing, Yom Kippur awakening, Kundalini vital body, neutral game mindfulness, Quantum Wholeness Meditation, Love Solve Method, Frequency Formulas, personality disorder spiritual solution, pain body Eckhart Tolle, brain chemistry natural balance, EFT to ZPM evolution, Cache Valley healer, integrative mental health Utah.Checkout more Cristine here! :Website: Cristine HullYoutube - Health, Healing, & Wholeness - YouTubeInstagram - Author Cristine Hull (@cristine.author)LinkedIn - Cristine Hull PhD LinkedinFaceBook - Author Cristine Hull • FacebookQuotes from Cristine in the episode:“Love is an answer.

In this episode, Ruth closes our podcast season on “becoming human,” reflecting on an incarnational spirituality that is lived in the God-ordained reality of our bodies rather than bifurcated from them. She invites listeners to notice what they now know, what questions have surfaced, and how suffering and honest inquiry shape theology and spiritual leadership, calling leaders to stay present to bodily experience in themselves and those they shepherd. Ruth closes with four practices—paying attention to the body, caring for it, praying with it, and biospiritual focusing—and concludes by once again reading Brian Wren's “Good Is the Flesh” as an embodied blessing.   Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

We were made by a Maker to be makers. Bruce Herman joins Evan Rosa to diagnose the quiet illness of a passive consumer culture that trains us to sit in front of screens and scroll and take, rather than make. “When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.“ His cure is stubbornly ordinary: go make a loaf of bread, grab a stick and start carving, make a good meal or a good cocktail for the person visiting you—anything is resistance to this hypnotic, passive culture. From episode 216 of the podcast, in this segment, Herman traces what it means to receive art not as a consumer but through submission—not master and slave, but subject to subject, that vulnerable openness that lets a poem or a painting change your life. He reflects on making as human wholeness, the difference between art and info-tainment, why suffering can rip us open to beauty (from Walker Percy's writing to Christian Wiman's poetry), Rilke's charge that “you must change your life,“ hospitality as the ultimate act of art, and Herman's closing counsel to make out of love, not fear. Episode Highlights We are in relationship, and we were made by a Maker to be makers. If we let that go somehow and we become mere consumers, I think we begin to enter into some kind of illness of one sort or another. When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy. And I don't want to make an idol out of health either, but I do think our culture is unhealthy right now. We think of it as, we're discerning buyers. But the fact is we're being turned into very passive creatures. One of the best things you can do is go make a loaf of bread. Go out and grab a stick and start carving it. Anything is resistance to this sort of hypnotic passive culture. If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it. You have to let yourself go and enter into what might feel like a bad risk of being changed. Not submit in a sense that I'm a master and you're my slave. It's more like you're a subject and I'm a subject. Mutual submission. We're so guarded so much of the time that it takes something catastrophic to open us up again. Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist. You can't help it. You were made by a Maker to be a maker. End of story. The ultimate act of art is hospitality, where you're welcoming someone in, to make something beautiful for them. Challenge the bad news with a recognition that daily kindnesses are being poured out everywhere, on every street. Don't give in to fear, because it's not a basis for anything good.

Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen, DC, MS, BCHH, is the founder and CEO of Human Longevity Global and co-founder of Peptide University, and in this episode she breaks down peptides in plain terms: naturally occurring signaling molecules that instruct the body's existing pathways rather than replace them. She and Freddie dig into why peptide quality of effect depends on foundational health — cell membrane integrity, nutrient status, hormone balance — and why she sees peptides as one input among many, not a shortcut around the basics. The conversation also covers the "exposome," the case for designing environments (cities, workplaces, healthcare systems) around healthspan rather than sick-care, and the emerging economic argument for longevity research reframed around health-adjusted life years. Beyond the science, Dr. Melissa shares the personal story that shaped her mission — watching her mother's cancer go into remission through an intensive lifestyle shift, then return after returning to old patterns — and how that experience shaped her belief that inputs, not just genetics, drive health outcomes. The episode closes with a quick-fire round on her favorite peptide for cell membrane support and where peptide delivery research is headed next. A candid, systems-level look at longevity, personal responsibility, and human flourishing from one of the field's most recognized educators.

Healing begins the moment you choose your own voice over the noise around you. In this opening episode of the Courage to Be Whole series, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza explore how self-awareness, faith, curiosity, and grace help us reconnect with who we are. They discuss why growth is an ongoing journey and how small, intentional choices lead to lasting transformation.  The conversation also highlights the importance of community in the healing process. From surrounding yourself with trusted people to creating moments of stillness and reflection, this episode offers practical encouragement for anyone seeking greater wholeness. It serves as a meaningful introduction to a series focused on healing ourselves so we can better serve our families, workplaces, and communities.  Key Takeaways:   Healing begins by learning to recognize your own voice and choosing it over the constant noise and expectations of the outside world.   Personal growth requires courage, consistency, and the grace to keep moving forward even when you fall back into old patterns.   A strong community provides the encouragement, accountability, and support needed to stay connected to your purpose and values.   Creating intentional moments of stillness helps you reconnect with your heart, strengthen your inner dialogue, and make decisions with greater clarity.   Small, intentional actions toward wholeness not only transform your own life but also create lasting impact within your family, workplace, and community.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

Wholeness is not something we earn or create—it is the eternal truth of who we are as individualized expressions of the One Life. As we awaken to our shared wholeness, we begin to see beyond separation, honor the Divine in every person, and discover that healing the world begins with remembering that no one is outside the heart of God.

What if you've spent your life trying to fix something that was never actually broken?Many of us interpret exhaustion, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, or emotional overwhelm as evidence that something is wrong with us. But what if these experiences aren't signs of failure at all? What if they're intelligent messages inviting us to reconnect with our inherent wholeness?In this powerful conversation, Elaine welcomes physician, author, and transformational teacher Dr. Karyn Shanks, whose groundbreaking book UnBroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness challenges one of the most deeply rooted beliefs in modern culture—that suffering means we're broken.Together they explore how our bodies continually communicate wisdom, why true healing begins with safety and compassion, and how learning to trust your inner guidance can transform every aspect of your life.If you've ever wondered whether healing is truly possible—or sensed there must be more than simply treating symptoms—this conversation will inspire you to reclaim your inner power and remember who you've been all along.Topics Covered0:00 What if you were never broken?3:20 Why your body is constantly communicating with you10:45 Healing is a natural process—not something you earn14:40 Redefining abundance through the lens of wholeness17:45 The nervous system, safety, and why healing begins there20:00 Becoming a vessel instead of a victim24:40 Letting go of limiting stories about what's possible30:30 Why you—not your doctor—remain the leader of your healing journey34:20 Learning to read your body's wisdom with compassion37:15 The upcoming UnBroken Sanctuary and free resourcesKey Takeaways

What does it actually mean to live wholeheartedly?Jesus tells us to love God, love our neighbors, and—almosttucked into the middle of that command—to love our neighbors as ourselves.But what if loving ourselves isn't about self-focus at all? What if it's actually about stewardship?In this episode, I share one of the most helpful illustrations I've ever learned from Al-Anon: the idea that each of us has beenentrusted with our own "acre"—our spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, and relational life. We'll talk about why it's so easy to spend our lives comparing our acre to someone else's or trying to manage everyone else's instead of faithfully tending our own.I'll also share some of the simple rhythms that have helpedme walk with Jesus over the years, why I think we often write emotional checks our hearts can't cash, and why the ordinary decisions we make every day quietly shape the women we're becoming.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stuck incomparison, or simply wondering what faithfulness looks like in this season, I hope this conversation encourages you.Reflection QuestionsAs you picture your own "acre," what area of your life feels healthiest right now? What area most needs your attention? Where have you been spending more energy comparing your life to someone else's or trying to manage someone else's acre than tending your own? What daily rhythm helps you stay connected to Jesus andbecome the person He's creating you to be? Is there a new rhythm you'd like to begin? What is one small, ordinary step you can take this week tocare well for your spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, or relational health? How does remembering that you are already completely loved by God change the way you think about taking care of yourself?www.elisabethklein.com

What happens when the pressure to perform as a ministry leader completely hollows out your internal world? In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, Sean Morgan sits down with pastor, author, and former NFL player Dr. Derwin L. Gray for an incredibly raw and vital conversation on pastoral wholeness. Too many pastors are fluent in the language of emotional health but completely starving for a theology that transforms their real, everyday pain. Pulling from the insights of his upcoming book, It's Time to Heal, Dr. Gray unpacks why your accomplishments can never fix your soul, how to navigate habitual patterns that keep you feeling stuck, and what it practically looks like to lead from a place of profound spiritual redemption rather than performance. If you are tired of pretending you are fine while carrying unaddressed wounds, this episode is a compassionate, urgent roadmap back to the heart of Jesus. Welcome to Episode 163 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

On today's episode of The CLS Experience, Craig Siegel explores the difference between living from wholeness and living from lack, revealing how the energy you bring into every situation shapes the opportunities you attract. Craig explains that lack isn't about having less money or fewer resources, it's a mindset rooted in fear, urgency, and seeking external validation. In contrast, wholeness comes from feeling connected to enoughness right now, allowing you to lead with confidence, certainty, and trust. Through relatable examples from business, relationships, and everyday life, Craig shares why people are drawn to certainty, how needy energy quietly repels abundance, and what it looks like to desire everything while needing nothing. This episode is a powerful reminder that lasting abundance begins with who you're being, not what you're chasing.0:15 Wholeness vs. Lack: The Mindset That Changes Everything01:12 Why Certainty Attracts and Neediness Repels01:35 Recognizing the Signs of a Scarcity Mindset02:18 Becoming the Person Who Naturally Attracts Abundance03:39 The One Day Wholeness ChallengeEarly Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE:To join our community click here.➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X
