Podcasts about Wholeness

I would love to hear from you! Send me a one way text and share how Recover Your Soul is supporting you or what you would like to hear more about.Something really big is happening.After more than a year of dedication, vulnerability, late nights, self-doubt, and some of the most profound healing I have ever done, my memoir is almost here. Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Journey of Healing from Addiction, Codependency, and People Pleasing releases on April 13th, 2026. And this weekend, I held the paperback copy in my hands for the first time and I was elated and excited to have it come to life and share with the world.I cried. Of course I cried.And then I started reading it that night and every limiting belief, every fear, every old story about not being enough, not being worthy, not deserving to be seen, came rushing right back up to meet me. Which, honestly, felt like the most perfect reminder that this work never really ends. It just gets deeper. And more beautiful.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on the journey behind this book — what it took to write it, what it brought up in me, and why I made the choices I made about how to tell this story. Because this memoir is not a tell-all. It is not a detailed account of every painful moment. It is something I believe is far more important than that.It is an invitation. To you. To remember your own wholeness.Because here is what I know with everything I am. TAre you ready to Recover Your Soul?

Prayer Doesn't Always Change Outcomes, But It Always Changes Us Living Compass Spirituality and Wellness Podcast Lent 2026 Series: Cultivating Healing and Wholeness in Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind Episode Summary What happens when the healing we pray for doesn't come? In this episode, Scott Stoner — pastor, therapist, and founder of Living Compass — explores one of the most honest and tender questions in the spiritual life. Drawing on decades of walking with people through serious illness, disability, and dying, Scott reflects on the crucial distinction between cure, healing, and wholeness, and why prayer remains transformative even when outcomes don't change. Key Themes The difference between physical cure and deeper spiritual and emotional healing Why prayer changes us even when it doesn't change our circumstances Holding grief and anger honestly as part of authentic faith The "container" metaphor: how the spiritual life expands our capacity to hold suffering Walking with others through illness as its own form of healing ministry Quote of the Episode "Prayer doesn't always change outcomes, but it always changes us." Featured Prayer Scott reads the Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer (p. 461), from the Ministry to the Sick: "This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen" (BCP, p. 461).   Resources Mentioned

LESSON 71Only God's Plan For Salvation Will Work.You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe in it.The ego's plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that, if someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus, the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. Each grievance you hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe, that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The change of mind necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself.The role assigned to your own mind in this plan, then, is simply to determine what, other than itself, must change if you are to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable provided that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has always failed, there is still grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success.Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it where it is not?God's plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise, your purpose is divided and you will attempt to follow two plans for salvation that are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can only bring confusion, misery and a deep sense of failure and despair.How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must succeed.Let us practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail.Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the first. And in the first is your full release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to free yourself. They have led to depression and anger; but God's plan will succeed. It will lead to release and joy.Remembering this, let us devote the remainder of the extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very specifically:What would You have me do?Where would You have me go?What would You have me say, and to whom?Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. The very fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some willingness to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to God's answer.In the shorter practice periods, tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of today's idea:Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation.And only His plan will work.Try to remember today's idea some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better way to spend a half minute or less than to remember the Source of your salvation, and to see It where It is.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some wisdom thoughts from Wayne Dyer about wholeness and abundance. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W. Dyer was published by Hay House and is available from most book sellers.)Follow the link below to share a gift of appreciation for our podcasts.Support the show

LESSON 70My Salvation Comes From Me.All temptation is nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does the source of guilt. You see neither guilt nor salvation as in your own mind and nowhere else. When you realize that all guilt is solely an invention of your mind, you also realize that guilt and salvation must be in the same place. In understanding this you are saved.The seeming cost of accepting today's idea is this: It means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing outside yourself can hurt you, or disturb your peace or upset you in any way. Today's idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong because of what you are. This is not a role that can be partially accepted. And you must surely begin to see that accepting it is salvation.It may not, however, be clear to you why the recognition that guilt is in your own mind entails the realization that salvation is there as well. God would not have put the remedy for the sickness where it cannot help. That is the way your mind has worked, but hardly His. He wants you to be healed, so He has kept the Source of healing where the need for healing lies.You have tried to do just the opposite, making every attempt, however distorted and fantastic it might be, to separate healing from the sickness for which it was intended, and thus keep the sickness. Your purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur. God's purpose was to ensure that it did.Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the same in this. God wants us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the idea for today, we are really in agreement with God. He does not want us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants us to be healed. So do we.We are ready for two longer practice periods today, each of which should last some ten to fifteen minutes. We will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be well to decide in advance when would be a good time to lay aside for each of them, and then adhering to your own decisions as closely as possible.Begin these practice periods by repeating the idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this way:My salvation comes from me.It cannot come from anywhere else.Then devote a few minutes, with your eyes closed, to reviewing some of the external places where you have looked for salvation in the past; - in other people, in possessions, in various situations and events, and in self-concepts that you sought to make real. Recognize that it is not there, and tell yourself:My salvation cannot come from any of these things.My salvation comes from me and only from me.Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your salvation is. You cannot find it in the clouds that surround the light, and it is in them you have been looking for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have never found anything in the cloud patterns you imagined that endured, or that you wanted.Since all illusions of salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to remain in the clouds, looking vainly for idols there, when you could so easily walk on into the light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. If it helps you, think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this will be no idle fantasy.For the short and frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you, and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress. You are free from all external interference. You are in charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world. Say, then:My salvation comes from me.Nothing outside of me can hold me back.Within me is the world's salvation and my own.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What if real leadership starts the moment you stop performing strength? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Jenny C. Cohen unpacks what it actually means to “lead from wholeness”—beyond the trendy phrases. This episode is for high-achievers who look fine on paper but feel stretched, tired, or quietly disconnected inside. You'll hear grounded ways to come back to your body, spot subtle fragmentation, and begin leading with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust—without needing a full life overhaul. About the Guest: Jenny C. Cohen is a board-certified integrative neurosomatic practitioner and embodiment expert. She supports high-achieving women in quieting the inner critic and showing up with a more rooted, authentic presence. She also shares from lived experience as a breast cancer survivor and mother of fraternal twins. Episode Chapters: 00:05:49 — Leadership without proving: the “wholeness” reframe 00:07:21 — Why “authentic leadership” often stays surface-level 00:10:28 — Signs you're fragmented: time-loss, obligation-yes, no real rest 00:12:20 — A health wake-up call and the cost of self-abandonment 00:14:34 — Consciousness, interoception, and listening to the body's signals 00:17:47 — Devotion over discipline: morning grounding, sleep, and alignment 00:23:17 — Start here: 5 senses + breath, subconscious journaling, body-based yes/no Key Takeaways: Notice “fragmentation tells”: auto-yes, resentment, delayed hunger/thirst cues, avoiding honest dissent. Practice “devotion” (not punishment): a small daily check-in that builds self-trust. Ground fast: widen peripheral vision + track 5 senses + breathe for 60 seconds. Try subconscious journaling: ask a question, answer with your non-dominant hand. Use body feedback wisely: simple yes/no self-checks can reveal what you're overriding.

WelcomeHello and blessings, and welcome to Episode 6 of Season 3 of The Calling Podcast, Follow Your Spirit All the Way In. I'm your host, Homaya.This series, inspired by one of the most important masterclasses, The Healer, continues. Today I'm opening a transmission on pain, and on the truth that pain is not a punishment and it is not against you. Pain is a signal. It has intelligence. It is designed to bring you back into connection.Take a deep breath as you listen. Become aware of your connection to your body and to your breath. Let your mind soften and your heart open. Please breathe, and let us begin.Episode SummaryIn this conversation, I share a different relationship with pain.I speak about pain as an indicator that something has been neglected, forgotten, or disconnected from, and I invite you to stop rushing to judge it or fix it. I also share why I see us as the chosen one for our challenges, because if it is on your table, you have the capacity to heal it, transform it, and lead with it.As we close, I leave you with a simple invitation. Breathe, soften, and ask, what is the medicine that is already alive here?Key TakeawaysPain is not a punishment and it is not against youPain is a signal with intelligence, designed to bring you back into connectionWhat creates pain is often what has been neglected, forgotten, or taken for grantedYou are the chosen one for your challenge because you have the capacity to heal and transform itThis attitude creates confidence for you and for your clientsDo not rush to judge or fix what is rising, breathe and ask for the medicineHealing is not separation, it is unity, wholeness, and open hearted truthAs we come to completion of Episode 6, I want to leave you with a different way of seeing what rises inside of you.Not everything that feels intense is a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes what you call pain is simply what is asking for your attention, something that was neglected, something that was forgotten, and something that is ready to come back into unity and connection.So if something is moving in you, do not rush to judge it. Do not rush to fix it. Breathe, soften, and ask, what is the medicine that is already alive here?In our next conversation, we are going to bridge from this place into leadership and creation. We are going to look into what it means to hold a frequency so clear that it reorganises everything around you.Thank you for listening and being part of this great conversation.

In this episode, Pastor Tommy delivers a high-impact message declaring that "enough is enough," calling believers to activate their faith for divine health and a spiritual awakening across the globe, specifically within the historic borders of Persia and Israel (Psalm 122:6). He reminds the church that as we approach the prophetic return of Christ and the millennial reign of perfect health, every "bold Bible believer" is commissioned to have a ministry of healing, shifting from "talking sickness" to boldly "talking health" (Proverbs 12:18, Mark 11:23). Through a revelation of being a new creature who is redeemed from the curse (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 3:13), Pastor Tommy encourages listeners to use their faith to trigger miracles, just as Jesus healed all who were oppressed (Acts 10:38, Matthew 9:35). This message focuses on a core foundation of scriptures to anchor your health: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Proverbs 4:20-22, Psalm 107:20, Jeremiah 30:17, Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24, Galatians 3:13, 3 John 2, Joel 3:10, Psalm 91:16, Exodus 15:26, Exodus 23:25-26, and Mark 16:15-18.

DAMI ROELSE, was born and raised in Holland and has travelled extensively around the world, lived on different continents, and studied with various spiritual teachers. Dami has used her passion for long-distance hiking and backpacking to deepen her connection with nature and the universe. Her inner spiritual journey has evolved right along with her outer journey. In her new book, "Body and Grace: A Woman's Hike to Wholeness on the Pacific Crest Trail", she talks about her inner calling for long-distance walking and the impact on her emotional, spiritual and physical life. We talk about her ten-year on/off trek across the Pacific Crest Trail from wilderness challenges to dealing with grief after the loss of her husband. Dami talks about the rhythm and voices of nature and what she has learned about being human through her relationship with nature.  https://www.transformation-travel.com/

"Do You Want to Be Made Well?" Living Compass Spirituality and Wellness Podcast Lent Series: Cultivating Healing and Wholeness with All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind   In this Lent episode, host Scott Stoner reflects on one of the most striking healing stories in the Gospels — Jesus's encounter with a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1–9). At the heart of the story is a deceptively simple question Jesus asks the man: Do you want to be made well? Scripture John 5:1–9 — Jesus encounters a man among many who are blind, lame, and paralyzed near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, and asks him a single, penetrating question rather than inquiring about the nature of his illness or how long he has suffered. Key Themes The Power of the Question — Of all the things Jesus could have asked, he asked only this. It is not a question meant to shame or judge. It is an invitation to examine our deepest desire and longing. Getting Comfortable in Our Dysfunction — Sometimes we hold on to our dis-ease because it is familiar. Scott shares a personal story from his time as a parish pastor, when a church council member lovingly turned the question back on him after he repeatedly reported struggling with overwork and neglecting self-care. The community's gentle, loving accountability became a real turning point. "I Have No One to Put Me in the Pool" — The man in the story believes healing can only come one specific way. Jesus gently shows him otherwise. How often do we say, "I'll be whole, I'll be at peace, I'll be able to let go — but only when this happens"? Healing often involves releasing our need to control the how and when. Letting Go — Much of the invitation in this story is about loosening our grip — on ego, on control, on habit energy that keeps us stuck. The Divine source of healing may be closer than we think, and arriving by a path we didn't expect.

Matthew 5:37: “Let your ‘Yes' be ‘Yes,' and your ‘No,'‘No.'” Most high-performers have lost the power of their yes becausethey never say no. But this isn't a time management problem —it's an identity problem. This is Part 3 of a 4-part series on The Wholeness of Jesus.Through the lens of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), Iunpack what it means to fragment through activity — and why a person who can't say no is a person whose identity isoutsourced to whoever's asking. Wholeness is when your boundaries flow from your identity,not from a time management hack. Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:37, Luke 10:38-42Key Framework: 5S (Sort and Simplify) applied to commitments Two tools for this week:• The 90% Rule: If it's not 90/100, it's a no• The Calendar Purge: Delete, Defer, or Delegate• BONUS: Word-for-word no script (3 levels) Your boundaries aren't walls that keep people out. They'rethe structure that allows you to show up fully for whatyou're actually called to.

In this episode of Wholeness with Hannah, Hannah is joined by Laura Schofield, founder of purpose-driven PR agency, Heed Communications. With over two decades of experience across senior in-house roles and leading PR agencies, Laura has led campaigns for global brands, public figures and purpose-driven organisations, bringing big-brand thinking to values-led work.This conversation explores what purpose-led communication really means in practice, beyond buzzwords and trends. Laura shares the personal turning point in her own journey that led her to step away from traditional agency culture and build Heed, alongside what felt missing in her previous roles and the deeper values that shaped her pivot. Hannah was particularly interested in discussing the responsibility that comes with visibility, and what it actually takes to feel safe from a nervous system perspective when stepping into the spotlight and receiving PR.It's a thoughtful, grounded discussion about communication as a tool for impact, self-belief and conscious leadership, blending strategy with soul.In this episode: • Laura's journey to founding Heed Communications • The personal turning point that inspired her pivot into purpose-driven work • What purpose-led communication actually looks like in practice • Why “purpose needs a rebrand” • Choosing aligned clients and values-led work • Ethical storytelling and relationship-led PR • Visibility, nervous system safety and readiness to be seen • The shadow side of PR when it lacks integrity • Knowing whether PR is the right path for you • What's next for Heed and Laura's future visionConnect with Laura and Heed Communications on Instagram and explore their work via the Heed website.Connect with Hannah: Instagram wholenesswithhannah and you can find more information on her website here.You can contact us at podcast@wholenesswithhannah.com. Hope you enjoyed this episode and remember…fill up your own cup first xoxox

What if this moment — exactly as it is — is already whole and complete?In this 30-minute guided meditation, Craig invites you to explore this possibility.Instead of trying to change your inner experience, you're guided to rest in the vast awareness in which every thought, emotion, and sensation is already arising—without preference or judgment. Rather than fixing or improving what you feel, this practice points you toward the deeper ground of presence that can allow everything.When everything is welcome, a profound shift becomes possible.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

You Are Already Whole — and this episode is going to remind you of that. If you're an entrepreneur, creator, or coach who's been running hard — building something real, showing up for your team, your clients, your family — and somewhere along the way you started feeling like your peace of mind is always just one deal, one launch, or one win away... This one's for you. In this episode, I share a raw and real insight that came to me during a solo hike up the mountains of Salt Spring Island, BC — after one of the fullest, most stretched months I can remember. I'd just delivered a major workshop in Sacramento, come home to a packed inbox, and was deep in the hustle of growing Magic Kids when my wife told me to take a day off. What happened on that mountain changed something in me. I realized I had been outsourcing my wholeness to outcomes I couldn't fully control — and chances are, you might be doing the same thing. In this episode you'll discover: What it means to "outsource your wholeness" — and why it's silently draining you The meditation that cracked me open and geared my nervous system down 3 speeds A simple reframe you can use today — no matter where your business or life is at Why your worth is not tied to your metrics, your revenue, or your to-do list This conversation originally happened inside Majik Mind — my private coaching community for entrepreneurs building with soul.

Her work centers on an often-overlooked truth: adoption isn't a moment — it's a lifelong identity journey.This conversation is especially meaningful for Rob, who reflects on his own experience adopting his son Alex, who joined the Scheer family at 18 and was formally adopted at 22 — a powerful reminder that belonging and permanency have no age limit.Together, Rob and Dr. Liz explore how adults navigate adoption-related grief and identity, why healing can unfold later in life, and how storytelling becomes a transformative tool for reclaiming voice and wholeness.Episode HighlightsLate and adult adoption as meaningful and transformativeHow writing and embodied storytelling support trauma integrationWhat “wholeness” means for identities shaped by early lossThe role adoptive families play in supporting adult adoptees over timeAbout the GuestDr. Liz DeBetta is an award-winning writer, educator, and solo performance artist whose work focuses on adoption, trauma, and identity through narrative expression.

What if you believed that your healing has already been paid for?

In this episode, we explore Entrepreneurship, Fear, & Returning to Wholeness, and why building a business often forces us to confront our deepest fears, beliefs, and emotional patterns. Many entrepreneurs believe success, money, or achievement will resolve internal struggles — but true fulfillment comes from inner work, self-integration, and emotional healing.You'll learn why fear is internal (not external), how entrepreneurship becomes a path toward self-actualization, and how doing the inner work allows your business — and your life — to evolve naturally.If you're an entrepreneur, creator, or leader experiencing anxiety, pressure, or burnout, this episode reframes entrepreneurship as a powerful vehicle for personal growth and returning to wholeness.

I learned them as a byproduct of recovery. And what I eventually discovered is this: external boundaries only hold when internal boundaries exist first. If you've ever thought, “I know how to say no, but I still feel awful afterward,” this episode explains why.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:• The difference between self-protection and self-containment• Why rumination, catastrophizing, and self-attack violate your internal boundaries• Why knowing what to say is not the same as being able to stand behind it• The five skills for building internal safety• How unshakability is steadiness, not perfectionYou don't need more scripts.You need more internal containment.Wholeness is not perfection.It's the absence of self-abandonment in the presence of emotion.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tools on building emotional safety from the inside out and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

In this 100th episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Sr. Ilia Delio continues her conversation with Nicholas Hedlund, PhD exploring what it means to seek coherence in a world shaped by fragmentation and acceleration.Beginning with Teilhard de Chardin's sense that the future is not simply ahead of us but mysteriously within the present, Ilia and Nick reflect on evolution as an unfinished process of becoming—one that calls for “unity in diversity,” not a monolithic consensus. Nick develops his concept of alethic resonance: truth as an attunement to reality that is participatory and transformative, not merely a set of propositions we “possess.” If reality is relational and dynamic, then truth is not something we control but something we learn to hear, honor, and live.ABOUT NICHOLAS HEDLUND“Humanity is not suffering from a crisis of information but a crisis of integration.”Nicholas Hedlund, Ph.D., is a philosopher, metatheorist, and contemplative practitioner whose work explores the intersection of spirituality, science, and worldview transformation. He is the director of Eudaimonia Institute and director of research at the Institute for Applied Metatheory, and serves as Editor-in-Chief of Integration: The Journal of Big Picture Theory and Practice.Nicholas developed visionary realism, an integrative philosophical framework drawing from critical realism, integral theory, and complexity science to illuminate deeper structures of reality and help navigate the global metacrisis. He earned his Ph.D. from University College London, where he studied under Roy Bhaskar and Arthur Petersen, and he was also an exchange scholar at Yale University.He is the author and editor of Metatheory for the Twenty-First Century and Big Picture Perspectives on Planetary Flourishing, and his work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including Zygon and Environmental Science & Policy. He is currently completing two new books further developing visionary realism and its implications for civilizational transformation.Alongside his scholarly work, Nicholas is an APPA-certified philosophical counselor and a spiritual director-in-training, supporting individuals in exploring meaning, inner transformation, and spiritual experience. A long-time contemplative practitioner and musician, he is deeply interested in the resonance between sound, consciousness, and human evolution.Nicholas teaches in the Integral Noetic Sciences Department at the California Institute for Human Science, offering courses in On March 17, the Center for Christogenesis welcomes back the Rev. Dr. Hillary Raining for a webinar on Trauma, Transformation, and Christ-Wholeness.

God's Promise for Wholeness | My Valentine is going to Hell? Series | Week 5 | Ps Chris Chipeio by Every Nation Dorado

Have you ever heard the saying, “You don't have a ‘yes' unless you have a ‘no'”? A true yes requires agency—the freedom to choose. When it comes to life in the church, that freedom matters deeply. When we serve, worship, and create because we have freely and purposefully chosen to, we tap into the inexhaustible resource of God's love—a love that leads, cares, and supports, but doesn't coerce. As we conclude our sermon series, Joining a Greater Movement for Wholeness, we open ourselves to the possibility of a renewed yes, or a new yes, to our place in the mission of witness and service to all people.

LESSON 60Review of Lessons 46 - 50These ideas are for today's review:46) God is the Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive because He has never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to me and raise me up to Him.(47) God is the strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to remember the Love I chose to forget, but Which has not forgotten me.(48) There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven, and that has forgiven me?(49) God's Voice speaks to me all through the day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because God's Voice is the only voice and the only guide that has been given to His Son.(50) I am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His Love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His Love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, Beth welcomes a modern Renaissance man — filmmaker, teacher, actor, health coach specializing in the Love Your Liver approach, truth lover, a devoted student of his own psyche, adept in the work of G. I. Gurdjieff and Carl Jung.In a culture that prizes specialization — where the right hand no longer knows what the left one does — this conversation explores the forgotten art of being whole.What does it mean to develop mastery across domains?Physical and nutritional intelligence.
Mental and logical rigor.
Creative expression.
Technical skill.
Emotional navigation.
Psychological self-awareness.Not as hobbies.
Not as surface sampling.
But as disciplined, embodied development.This episode examines the difference between being “well-rounded” and cultivating true range — the kind that requires continually entering arenas where you are not yet competent, breaking new ground, and resisting identity built on narrow expertise.
Together, we will explore:* Why specialization culture fragments the psyche* Mastery across physical, mental, creative, and technical realms* Gurdjieff's work on attention and mechanical living* Jung's individuation and the integration of opposites* The creative process as psychological revelation* Why staying in your strength is a subtle form of stagnation* The discipline required to expand range* Wholeness as lived practice, not theory
This is not a romantic conversation about talent.
It's a sober inquiry into integration.What would it mean to refuse fragmentation?
To build capacity across domains?
To become harder to categorize — and more fully human? A wide-ranging, grounded dialogue on mastery, psyche, embodiment, and the responsibility of conscious development.

My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family's firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life's work and walk their Hero's Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.

After a couple of months away from the mic, I'm realizing what it's really been like to step back and question the identity I've carried for years as the strong and capable single mother who always pushes through. We often create armor that protects us for a time, but as we grow and change, we reach a point where it may actually be holding us back. In this roundtable with Ashley Blackington, Ben Cott, and Dr. Ann Welsh, we talk about burnout, midlife shifts, and why resilience isn't about grinding harder but learning to work with our bodies and honor both grief and joy. If you're redefining success, navigating change, or craving something more than survival mode, this conversation might be what you need to hear.

Show Notes: Healing and Wholeness — Wrestling with God and Listening for Whispers Living Compass Spirituality and Wellness Podcast | Lent 2026 In this episode, Scott Stoner reflects on two powerful biblical stories that illuminate what healing and wholeness can really look like — not always peaceful or easy, but sometimes raw, wrestling, and hard-won. Drawing on the story of Jacob wrestling with God the night before his reconciliation with his brother Esau, Scott invites us to see that God is present not only in the moments of clarity and consolation, but in the darkness, the struggle, and the dis-ease we carry. Whatever we are wrestling with — a broken relationship, a physical challenge, an emotional weight — we do not walk through it alone. Scott also revisits the story of Elijah from 1 Kings, reminding us that God's healing voice doesn't always come in the dramatic and overwhelming moments of life. More often, it comes as a gentle whisper — through Scripture, a meaningful conversation, a moment of stillness in prayer, or a quiet sense of being led forward. The episode closes with a beautiful reflection from contributor Robbin Brent, who writes that faith is not about certainty or the absence of questions, but about the willingness to keep trusting in the deeper reality of God's healing presence, even when circumstances seem to contradict it. Wherever you are on your Lenten journey, this episode is an invitation to be still, listen for the whispers, and trust that way will open. The full Lent 2026 devotional booklet and the option to sign up to get the Lent daily reflections for "Cultivating Healing and Wholeness" by email are available at livingcompass.org.

In this episode, we'll explore how letting go of the so-called stories of I is the approach we must take if we're ever going to find peace and wholeness within.Related EpisodesBecoming Limitless: Using the power of Positive Intelligence (PQ) to break through subconscious sabotageHealing Beyond Shame: How shame sustains shadow repression + how to disintegrate 'Shamewalls'ResourcesDynamic Neural Retraining System (Annie Hopper's website)The Work by Byron KatieBooksChasing Peace* by Tom RosshirtThe Way of Integrity* by Martha BeckThe Vital Spark* by Lisa Marchiano, LCSWBecome a member of The Soul Horizon community (or give a one-time donation) to support the podcast.

LESSON 56Review of Lessons 26 - 30Our review for today covers the following:(26) My attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss, age and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will teach me what it is.(27) Above all else I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have made. If I would remember who I am, it is essential that I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the world and on myself with charity and love.(28) Above all else I want to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.(29) God is in everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will, united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances, and recognize the truth beyond them all.(30) God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I have not lost the knowledge of Who I am because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His Thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one with Him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this conversation, I sit down with Kristen LaValley to talk about the complexity of growing up in the church and what happens when faith both forms us and harms us. We talk about spiritual trauma, shame, neurodivergence, fear-based theology, and the moment when the frameworks we were given stop holding. Kristen shares her story of growing up in ministry, leaving church leadership, and slowly rebuilding a faith centered not on performance or fear, but on the love of God. This episode is about healing, asking honest questions, and the long work of moving toward wholeness—trusting that flourishing is possible, even after faith has hurt you.Kristen LaValley is a writer and storyteller whose words offer a refreshing perspective on faith and spirituality and resonate with those who carry tension in their faith. She offers insights that intersect doubt and belief, hope and suffering, beauty and heartache. With a deep love for the Christian faith and a willingness to explore its complexities, Kristen's writing offers nuanced conversations that challenge readers to think deeply and wrestle with important questions.

This final February episode brings the month's theme of love full circle by exploring how we serve ourselves and others. Amy unpacks the powerful difference between helping, fixing, and serving — and how many people unknowingly operate from a belief that they are weak or broken. Drawing on insights inspired by Brené Brown, she reframes service as an act that comes from wholeness, dignity, and self-respect. You'll learn how to shift your inner dialogue from criticism to compassion, sit beside yourself instead of across from yourself, and make changes from love rather than shame. If you're tired of motivating yourself with pressure and self-judgment, this episode offers a healthier way to create real change.   Connect with Amy here!    **Find Atlas of the Heart here. **Find more insights on helping, fixing, and serving here. #HealthyAF #SelfCompassion #Wellness #HealthyBoundaries #ServiceWithLove #EmotionalWellness

LESSON 53Review of Lessons 11 - 15Today we will review the following:(11) My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world that pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this world is insane, and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane, and I have real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world, if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.(12) I am upset because I see a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world that represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this world is not real, and that I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning.(13) A meaningless world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it is completely undependable, and offers no grounds for trust. Nothing in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this belief, and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear, because I am acknowledging that it does not exist.(14) God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too, because He created it with me. Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts, when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision, and recognize where I really abide.(15) My thoughts are images that I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts that tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 52Review of Lessons 6 - 10Today's review covers these ideas:(6) I am upset because I see what is not there. Reality is never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect peace. When I am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality with illusions I made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have given them reality, and thus regard reality as an illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by nothing.(7) I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and everything, making them my enemies. When I have forgiven myself and remembered Who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past, and therefore no enemies. And I will look with love on all that I failed to see before.(8) My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing.(9) I see nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present; the choice is merely whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would choose again, that I may see.(10) My thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its Creator. Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless “private” thoughts?- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Liza Rankow, an interfaith minister, educator, activist, and author of Soul Medicine for a Fractured World: Healing Justice and the Path of Wholeness. For more than three decades, she has guided individuals and frontline changemakers in integrating deep spiritual practice with social transformation. A longtime student and steward of Howard Thurman's teachings, she helped produce The Living Wisdom of Howard Thurman audio collection and continues to explore how mysticism and justice are not separate callings—but one sacred breath expressed in two directions. Conversation Highlights include: -Growing up without organized religion yet surrounded by spiritual seeking shaped a life rooted in both mysticism and justice. -A chance encounter with Howard Thurman's portrait at Morehouse College became the doorway into a lifelong spiritual lineage. -Seeing this moment in history as a "portal" invites us to meet upheaval not only with fear, but with agency and possibility. -Understanding the difference between self-care and soul care reminds us that while pampering relieves stress, soul care reconnects us to the larger life that sustains us. -Recognizing that the medicine is often hidden inside our wounds reframes suffering as a potential teacher rather than a permanent sentence. -Trusting that life moves in cycles of collapse and renewal helps us engage change without despair, knowing transformation rarely begins or ends with us. -Redefining purpose as a quality of being—rather than a job title or achievement—brings clarity to how we live and serve. -Seeing how cultural definitions of success can distort purpose invites a return to soul-led contribution over ego-driven accomplishment. -Practicing three intentional breaths—receiving what we need, sending love to others, and extending healing to the world—creates embodied connection. Next, in the closing meditation, Michael guides listeners into intentional gratitude, reminding us that the world we experience reflects the consciousness we cultivate.

We spend our lives running from discomfort, but when we stop to actually feel the sensations in the body, we realize they are the gateways to liberating our consciousness. In this episode, Peter Fenger sits down with Allura Hollowell, a transformational guide and creator of The Consciousness Method, a multidimensional healing approach designed to lead individuals from inner fragmentation to wholeness. With a deep commitment to human evolution, Allura empowers people to rewire their relationships, heal core wounds, and access higher states of consciousness. Her work invites us to release fear, decode long-held illusions, and transform pain into a portal for lasting change. Through her unique method, she helps others shift their timelines to create aligned, soul-centered lives from the inside out. We are excited to welcome Allura to the show to explore how The Consciousness Method offers a transformative path beyond traditional therapy. Together, we discuss addressing the root of emotional pain, dismantling mental health stigma, and creating accessible, sovereign pathways to healing.   For more information about “Unloved, Unworthy, Uknown: A Journey to Wholeness” by Allura Halliwell, please visit: https://unlovedunworthyunknown.com/book-332516 For more information about Allura Halliwell, please visit: https://allurahalliwell.com For more information about The Consciousness Method podcast, please visit: https://allurahalliwell.com/podcasts If you would like a consultation with Allura, please schedule: https://calendly.com/allurahalliwell/time-to-connect Connect with Allura Halliwell on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/allurahalliwell Connect with Allura Halliwell on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/allura.halliwell/

Send a textIn this week's episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm exploring what it really means to be whole and how emotional boundaries are what make that wholeness possible.Inspired by the image of a plant that is always changing yet never fragmented, we look at the difference between being unfinished and being fractured. Wholeness is not about being calm all the time or having everything figured out. It's about integration. It's about not abandoning yourself as you evolve.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why wholeness does not mean finished, but integratedThe difference between fragmentation and changeHow emotional boundaries allow feelings to move through you without taking you overWhy outgrowing identities like “the responsible one” or “the peacemaker” can feel like dyingHow internal safety allows you to stay with yourself through anger, grief, fear, and growthWholeness is not the absence of emotion. It's the absence of self-abandonment in the presence of emotion.You don't need to be finished to be whole. You don't need to be stable in every moment to be unshakable. You are allowed to evolve without losing yourself.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for grounded insight on emotional maturity, boundaries, and building a life that feels integrated instead of fragmented.Thank you for listening.
