Lesson 191I Am The Holy Son Of God Himself.Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the world. And here as well is all the world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows, punitive and wild, lacking all reason, blind, insane with hate?What have you done that this should be your world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own Identity, and this is what remains. You look on chaos and proclaim it is yourself. There is no sight that fails to witness this to you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty within you and without; no breath you draw that does not seem to bring you nearer death; no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears.Deny your own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural and ghostly thought that mocks creation and that laughs at God. Deny your own Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a tiny particle of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity, and look on evil, sin and death, and watch despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but the wish to die.Yet what is it except a game you play in which identity can be denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is everyone set free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central core of its existence and its guarantee of immortality.But let today's idea find a place among your thoughts and you have risen far above the world, and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape you will return and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives to everyone, in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way to happiness that changed his whole perspective of the world.One holy thought like this and you are free: You are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought you learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no need to use it cruelly, and then perceive this savage need in it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror, with the world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart.Be glad today how very easily is hell undone. You need but tell yourself:I am the holy Son of God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain;I cannot suffer loss, nor fail to do all that salvation asks.And in that thought is everything you look on wholly changed.A miracle has lighted up all dark and ancient caverns, where the rites of death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful, when God's Son has come again at last to set it free?You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy, will its mercy shine on you.Then let the Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes, return again to bless the world he made. In error it began, but it will end in the reflection of his holiness. And he will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to bring your weary brothers rest?They must await your own release. They stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find it in yourself. They suffer pain until you have denied its hold on you. They die till you accept your own eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this, and all the world is free. Remember this, and earth and Heaven are one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

This week's show is with Coco Oya Cienna-Rey. Coco is the author of Digging for Mother's Bones from Womancraft Publishing, is a UK based mother, grandmother, creative, mystic, soul guide and writer. Her creativity is informed by her journey as a devotee of the Tantric path (an embodied path of self-liberation) and her personal journey with trauma. Coco has always felt a call to channel the Voice of the Divine Feminine and is published in several bestselling anthologies.  Often thought provoking, yet always heartfelt her work speaks of the sacred wisdom stored in the body, the non-linear nature of trauma and the embodiment of soul. She believes that our innate connection to the natural world can heal humanity. As a deeply sensitive, highly empathic gifted intuitive Coco can be found weaving her soul-coaching embodiment work at www.creativelycoco.com  In this episode, Lian and Coco explore the profound journey from trauma to remembrance, from collapse to creative power. Together, they trace the raw, mythic arc of a woman who was silenced by pain… and reborn through the arms of the Great Mother. This conversation moves like an initiation, stirring deep memory in the body, revealing the erotic and mystical core of feminine being. Coco shares the story behind her book's birth: a story that begins in abuse and mental illness and unfolds through a spontaneous Kundalini awakening, a near-death experience, and the long road of integration. She reflects on the sacred technology of the womb, the truth of the Virgin and the Whore as one, and the living presence of the Mother as the centre of all creation. Along the way, she speaks to the wildness of true feminine energy… not as something performative, but as a force of love capable of reshaping the world. Lian and Coco weave personal memory with mythic remembrance, questioning how we reclaim the power of receptivity in a world that has trained us to close. This is an episode that stirs the womb and speaks to the place in every woman that longs to feel… to open… to remember that she is not only enough, but the very axis of life itself. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How the sexual wounds of the planet are not abstract, but live in the body… and how remembering the womb's creative power begins to restore them Why integrating the Virgin and the Whore is essential to reclaiming the whole feminine… not as metaphor, but as lived, embodied truth The importance of receptivity as a sacred feminine capacity, and how shifting from the front of the body to the back can open the space for life to be received again Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Coco's Website Join UNIO, the Academy of the Soul This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

In the second half of her conversation with independent scholar Jared Morningstar, Sr. Ilia Delio explores how religion might evolve in light of today's ecological and cultural disruptions. Drawing from Islamic philosophy, metamodernism, and process thought, Ilia and Jared consider what it means to reimagine religion in a world shaped by uncertainty, pluralism, and accelerating technology.Together they ask: Can an ecological worldview renew religious imagination? What is metamodernism, and how might it offer a new spiritual framework for global society? And as science and tech continue to dominate cultural life, does religion still hold something essential?Later in the episode, they explore the worldviews influencing Silicon Valley—and whether all religious perspectives offer equal value in shaping our future.ABOUT JARED MORNINGSTAR"Almost everything worthwhile which has accumulated in any religious tradition was, in its own time, a striking ingression of fresh creativity—a creativity, of course, in contact with the self-same wellspring of inspiration at the root of the founding moments of the tradition in question.”Jared Morningstar is an independent scholar with academic interests in philosophy of religion, Islamic studies, comparative religion, metamodern spirituality, and interfaith dialogue. His work in these areas seeks to offer robust responses to issues of inter-religious conflict, contemporary nihilism, and the "meaning crisis," among other things. Jared graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2018 with degrees in religion and Scandinavian studies and currently works for the Center for Process Studies and the Psychedelic Medicine Association. At the Center for Christogenesis we are in the midst of our June fundraiser.

Thought to share? Send me a text..."Do you love me more than these?" The question hangs in the air between Jesus and Peter, standing by a charcoal fire on the shores of Galilee—the same type of fire where Peter had denied his Lord three times. This isn't a coincidence but a divine appointment for healing and restoration. The final chapter of John serves as a powerful epilogue where loose ends are tied together concluding with Jesus addressing our tendency toward comparison. When Peter asks about John's fate, Jesus redirects: "What is that to you? You follow me!" It's a powerful reminder that we each have our unique journey with Christ. Take time today to ponder: Where might Jesus be asking you to cast your nets differently?

Week 4 in the "Peace" sermon series | July 6, 2025

LESSON 187I Bless The World Because I Bless Myself.No one can give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that you must first possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess.How is this possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must return to him who gives. Nor can the form it takes be less acceptable. It must be more.Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that by your giving is your store increased.Protect all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.Give gladly. You can only gain thereby. The thought remains, and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving. Thoughts extend as they are shared, for they can not be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the sense the world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains; another who will give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the thought in form most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what will surely be returned to him.Never forget you give but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they healed.Illusion recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you remove the thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers, when you choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once.Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.The lilies that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away.Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one Thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness, and give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's Love.Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it everywhere. We would behold it shining with the grace of God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers us His Holiness as ours.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Episode Summary: In a world that glorifies burnout, this episode invites you to step back, breathe deeply, and remember: you are not a machine. With wisdom from saints, psychologists, and mystics, we explore the healing power of rest, rhythm, and above all—humor.   Fr. Jacques Philippe reminds us that balance begins with limits. Jesus Himself rested, laughed, and lived in rhythm. And saints like Teresa of Ávila and Philip Neri teach us that true holiness is steeped in joy. Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual tradition, and the wit of G.K. Chesterton, this talk unveils a forgotten truth: laughter is not a distraction—it's a sign of spiritual maturity and trust.   Whether you're battling spiritual exhaustion or chronic self-seriousness, this episode offers a gentle reboot for your soul, your schedule, and your sense of humor.   Reflection Questions for Journaling and Prayer:   Where in your life are you resisting limits? What might God be inviting you to release? How do you experience rest? Is it true rest—or just distraction? When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? What did that moment reveal about your soul? Do you take yourself too seriously? What would it mean to become “light enough to fly”? How might joy and mirth be signs that you're finally trusting the Father's care?  

You've been told therapy is the answer to everything. That if you just unpack hard enough, you'll finally be free. But what if that's not the full story? This week, Terry Crist joins me to challenge beliefs that cause deeper destruction. He's seen how long-standing secrets fracture the soul, how the orphan spirit grows in Christian homes, and how many believers never outgrow wounded identity, even into legacy years. In this conversation, Terry decodes why running away from truth never works, how idolizing therapy can drain godly authority, and why healing is never finished, even if you've been in the room for decades. He brings the fight where healing meets holiness, and shows how to refuse lie-lay, stop hiding, and step into belonging. If you've ever carried a secret, felt disconnected in the Church, or believed your wounds had an expiry date, you need to hear this episode.

Most men don't realize they're grieving. They just know they feel stuck… disconnected… angry… numb… exhausted. They're overworking, avoiding, blowing up—or shutting down. But underneath the addiction, the burnout, the conflict… is unprocessed grief. In this raw and powerful conversation, grief expert Joshua Wenner unpacks the hidden losses that men carry—losses from childhood, unmet expectations, relationship ruptures, business failures, and the identity shifts that come with fatherhood and marriage. Joshua has spent over a decade studying grief, interviewing the top experts, and making a feature-length documentary on the subject. In this episode, he shares what he's learned, including the tools that help men regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with their hearts, and finally move forward. If you've ever felt like something was off—but couldn't name it—this episode is for you. You'll walk away with practical tools to stabilize, feel, heal, and become more present for yourself and those you love. ______________________________

What if your deepest pain held the keys to your greatest healing? What if you're not broken—but simply remembering who you really are? This week on Interviews with Innocence, I sit down with Martina Drassl, a somatic trauma therapist and plant medicine facilitator whose path has taken her from the depths of suffering to the heart of sacred healing. In this raw and illuminating conversation, Martina shares:

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Randy Pitkin, author of Restored, for a profoundly honest conversation about trauma, healing, and inner transformation. Randy opens up about his deeply painful childhood—marked by abuse, abandonment, and molestation—and how those early wounds shaped a path of rage, shame, and destructive behaviors. Through his story, we learn how moments of clarity and support empowered Randy to seek help, confront his past, and ultimately discover peace and wholeness. He shares how shifting spiritual beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and redefining identity played key roles in his healing journey. Randy's testimony is more than just a personal narrative—it's a beacon of hope for others grappling with unresolved trauma. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no matter how broken we feel, restoration is possible. It's a must-listen for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone who believes in the power of resilience. 00:00 Introduction to Randy Pitkin and His Book 'Restored' 01:07 Randy's Early Life and Family Background 01:44 Trauma and Abuse in Randy's Childhood 05:30 The Impact of Trauma on Randy's Adult Life 06:35 Finding Wholeness and Peace 08:19 Randy's Spiritual Journey 12:27 Reconciliation and Final Struggles 13:12 Encouragement and Advice for Others 17:26 Reflections on Family and Personal Growth 28:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

On this week's episode we're talking about the longing we feel to do the thing that we know will support our WHOLENESS as a person and NOT just our role as a mom - and how to change our perspective so that we can start to trust that it's safe for us to FINALLY go ahead and do it. Take a listen, and then send me a DM on Instagram @joryancoaching with the word FULL to get on the priority list for my new coaching program, The Body-Based Productivity Practice.

In this episode we welcome Author, Health Coach - Chatela Young Eugene to discuss the concept of balance. We delve into topics such as divine alignment, the role of faith, and the importance of trusting God's timing. Chatela shares her personal journey, highlighting her experiences as a single mother, her struggles with achieving balance, and her year-long spiritual isolation to reconnect with God. She explains how redefining balance as stewardship and focusing on God's guidance has helped her find internal peace amidst chaos. The conversation also touches on the significance of identity, the impact of trauma, and the importance of being present in each season of life. Chatela's journey ultimately leads her to write a book, which unexpectedly unfolds from her reflections and revelations during a transformative period of her life.Please purchase the book: Redefined: A Single Mother's Journey to Wholeness by CHATELA YOUNG Thank you for listening and for adding new dimensions to your definitions.

In a world overwhelmed by emotional burnout, spiritual fatigue, and quiet battles, our most powerful healing doesn't come from external fixes—it begins with the transformative presence of Jesus. At Calvary Orlando, this past Sunday's message, From Brokenness to Wholeness, led by Pastor Caroline, was more than a sermon—it was a personal invitation into emotional healing, spiritual restoration, and life transformation through faith. As a Christian church in Orlando, we believe that real change begins when we encounter Jesus for ourselves.

Introduction to Lessons 181-200Our next few lessons make a special point of firming up your willingness to make your weak commitment strong; your scattered goals blend into one intent. You are not asked for total dedication all the time as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this that makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets forth.Our lessons now are geared specifically to widening horizons, and direct approaches to the special blocks that keep your vision narrow, and too limited to let you see the value of our goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words alone can not convey the sense of liberation which their lifting brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you give up your tight control of what you see speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you want, and what is valueless.And so we start our journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes your progress still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains beyond achievement while it is denied. It may be there, but you cannot accept its presence. So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a little while each day. No more than this is asked, because no more than this is needed. It will be enough to guarantee the rest will come.LESSON 181I Trust My Brothers, Who Are One With Me.rusting your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self That lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours.Perception has a focus. It is this that gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift, to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before. Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in sinlessness. This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to sins in you. And you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies beyond.Therefore, in practicing today, we first let all such little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we seek, and only this, for just a little while. We do not care about our future goals. And what we saw an instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of time wherein we practice changing our intent. We seek for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it with no concern but now.A major hazard to success has been involvement with your past and future goals. You have been quite preoccupied with how extremely different the goals this course is advocating are from those you held before. And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and restricting thought that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose your way again.How could this matter? For the past is gone; the future but imagined. These concerns are but defenses against present change of focus in perception. Nothing more. We lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent; to look upon the sinlessness within.We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight, and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our “sins.” So, for a little while, without regard to past or future, should such blocks arise we will transcend them with instructions to our minds to change their focus, as we say:It is not this that I would look upon.I trust my brothers, who are one with me.And we will also use this thought to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not seek for long-range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin will bring, and uncorrected will remain.Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the Love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves.The world which once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no sin, and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present. And we give our trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is our willing one with His.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this bold and eye-opening talk, Rev. Lee Wolak, author of The Power in You, dives deep into the truth behind spiritual healing. Most people approach healing from a mindset of lack, damage, or pain. But what if healing isn't about mending wounds, but about waking up from the illusion of separation, shame, and unworthiness? This talk invites you to let go of outdated beliefs, reclaim your spiritual wholeness, and see yourself as the powerful creator you truly are. You'll learn how to dissolve false stories, shift your consciousness, and embody the awareness that you've always been whole. Perfect for anyone seeking spiritual awakening, emotional healing, or greater self-realization. #Spirituality #Meditation #Healing #Selflove #Consciousness #SpiritualGrowth #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualAwakening #SelfWorth #Awareness #ScienceOfMind #RevLeeWolak #Zen #ThePowerInYou 

Karen Stattner vividly recalls the day she fractured her back in a riding accident—a moment that would launch her on an unexpected journey into the world of somatic healing. Despite diligently following her physical therapist's advice to strengthen her core through Pilates, she remained in pain with restricted movement for years. The most frustrating part? Her X-rays showed everything had healed structurally. In this powerful episode, Karen shares how discovering clinical somatics finally gave her lasting relief. She introduces the eye-opening concept of sensory motor amnesia—those unconscious tension patterns your brain forgets how to release. The game-changer? A gentle, brain-based technique called pandiculation that helps you retrain your nervous system and let go of chronic holding, for good. What makes this approach truly revolutionary is how it puts healing power back in your hands. Instead of dependence on practitioners for temporary relief, Karen teaches people to recognize and release their tension patterns for lasting change. The results extend far beyond pain relief, as she demonstrates how our muscles hold not just physical tension but emotional patterns as well. By releasing chronic muscular holding, we simultaneously address the stress, anxiety, and emotional states connected to it.Karen reveals how somatic healing isn't just about pain relief. It's about reconnecting with your body, releasing emotional stress, and reclaiming freedom of movement at any age. Whether you're managing chronic pain, healing from injury, or simply looking to move more freely as you age, this episode offers practical tools and hope.You'll even learn a simple somatic practice to try immediately, and discover why your body has the power to change, no matter your age or condition. Visit Karen at somatichabit.co.uk to learn more about this life-changing approach.Bio Karen Statner is a Clinical Somatic Educator and founder of Somatic Habit, teaching you how you can relieve your own muscular aches and pains, and how you can restore easy, comfortable movement and inner connection for the long term.She teaches weekly classes, 1-1 clinical sessions, workshops and offers an online membership.

The Body and Communion – Wholeness in Flesh and Relationship Wholeness Series, Episode 4 Episode Summary: What if your body wasn't just a tool for work or a source of shame, but a sanctuary—a vessel of memory, worship, and communion?   In this episode, we explore the profound connection between our physical bodies and our spiritual lives. From a grandfather's Sunday jacket to St. Francis calling his body “Brother Ass,” we rediscover the body not as an obstacle to holiness but as a companion on the journey. Drawing from Aquinas, John Paul II, and modern psychology, this talk weaves theology, discipline, and delight into a new vision of embodied wholeness. Whether it's fasting or feasting, movement or rest, this episode offers a vision of the body as a living altar, capable of carrying burdens, expressing love, and becoming holy through small, daily acts. We don't need perfect bodies. We need present ones—offered, disciplined, and led gently toward communion with God, others, and ourselves.   Questions for Prayer, Journaling, and Reflection: On the Body as Memory and Offering: What memories—joyful or painful—does your body carry? In what ways have you used your body as an offering in love? How can you begin to see your body as a kind of "sacrament"? On “Brother Ass”: How do you treat your body: as a racehorse, a machine, or a faithful donkey? What might change if you viewed your body with affectionate realism rather than frustration or pride? In what ways does your body carry Christ to others? On Food and Fasting: When do you eat from hunger, and when from habit or emotion? What small, daily food-related disciplines could help train your soul? How might you make meals more sacramental and less rushed? On Movement and Strength: How do you move your body each day? Is it with purpose, joy, or obligation? What physical discipline helps you show up for others with energy and readiness? How might your next workout or walk be offered as a prayer? On Dance and Expression: When was the last time you let your body express something wordless—through dance, art, or play? What emotions might you need to move through rather than just talk about? How could rhythm, music, and movement restore wholeness in your life? On Sleep and Rest: Do you see rest as laziness, or as worship and trust? What rhythms of silence or sleep do you need to reclaim your peace? Where is God calling you to surrender the illusion of control and rest in His love?   Let this episode be your invitation to wholeness not just in thought or feeling—but in flesh and bone, sweat and stillness, hunger and dance.   Subscribe to the podcast. Share it with someone who needs to be reminded: your body is not the problem. It might just be the path.

Suzi sits down with Teresa Noach to explore her powerful journey of healing and spiritual awakening through plant medicine.In this intimate and heartfelt conversation, Teresa shares how sacred medicine helped her restore balance to her mind, body, and spirit—leading her to a deeper, more personal relationship with Jesus.Together, Suzi and Teresa reflect on the intersection of trauma, transformation, and divine connection. Teresa opens up about how plant medicine became a catalyst not just for healing, but for rediscovering her purpose and the sacred truth within.This episode is a beautiful exploration of what it means to come home to yourself—and to God—through the ancient wisdom of the earth.

You've hit the wall. You've circled the same fears, same failures, same question: Now what? This week, Craig Cooney joins me to map out the 7 Stages of Life Transition—that spiritual, emotional, relational journey we all face when momentum crashes into burnout. He's walked past every threshold: loss, disillusionment, plateau, crisis. And he understands what happens when you blitz through “surviving” and find… something new on the other side. In this episode, Craig names the pain of transition: the loneliness of midsize dreams, the temptation to spin in place, the hidden grief behind “I'm tired,” and the silent desperation of burnout nobody talks about. And he exposes the breakthrough waiting when you refuse to stay stuck at the wall. If you're in the pause, the plateau, the painful “In-Between”—this episode will help you understand what stage you're in, give language to the hardship you're living, and show you the transformation lurking on the other side.

In today's episode, I share encouragement from God's Word for the days when you're overwhelmed, frustrated, or ashamed—whether it's your health, motherhood, marriage, or finances. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Henry Cloud's Changes That Heal, we talk about how perfectionism can keep us stuck and how pride can be hidden in our shame. Instead of expecting yourself to get everything right, let's anchor ourselves in truth: Trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5–6) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18) Know that God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28) God can use even your broken moments to create something beautiful—yes, even in your health journey. He doesn't expect perfection, but He does invite you to trust Him.   Holistically Healthy Woman: 4 Steps to Move Away from Modern Medicine for Christians www.herholistichealing.com/free   Free Community www.facebook.com/groups/herholistichealing   Book (Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing 8 Common Myths That Keep You Sick) www.herholistichealing.com/book   Holistic Health Coaching www.herholistichealing.com/coaching   Website www.herholistichealing.com   E-mail hello@herholistichealing.com   This content is not meant to be personal medical advice.

This episode considers how much of the current language around nature therapy can actually distance some people, and focuses on the need for better ways to talk about earth care and connection to the earth for men in particular. Jason Lyle shares with Forrest about Adventures in Recovery, an organization in the state of Georgia that uses wilderness experience to facilitate healing and personal growth for men. He discusses the profound impact of wilderness therapy on mental health, the importance of reconnecting with the body and nature, and the evolving landscape of spirituality in modern society. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for individuals to immerse themselves in nature, and highlights the significance of community connection recovery processes. Adventures in Recovery (soon to be rebranded as AIR Georgia)Freeology Podcast (soon to be rebranded as Sacred Grit podcast)Jason coaches Forrest about cold water immersion TakeawaysJason shares his deep connection to nature and its impact on his life.Adventures in Recovery focuses on healing through nature and community.The importance of personal experiences in shaping one's purpose.Nature immersion helps individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions.Spirituality can be practical and rooted in everyday decisions.The body and mind connection is crucial for personal growth.Community support plays a vital role in recovery processes.Nature teaches resilience and adaptability in challenging situations.Practical strategies for reconnecting with nature include immersion and foraging.The future of spiritual communities may focus on personal experiences rather than traditional structures. Keywordsnature, healing, recovery, spirituality, wilderness therapy, personal growth, men's mental health, adventure, community, connection, nature-based therapy, redneck culture, adoption trauma, cold water immersion  Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

IN THIS EPISODE: Why did Jesus heal people with disabilities and what does that mean for us today? In this episode, Tyler, Maron, and Barry unpack Matthew 9:27–34, where Jesus heals two blind men in a culture that saw disability as shameful. But the story raises deeper questions: Why do healing stories cause discomfort in the modern disability community? If healing is tied to faith, what does that imply for people today who aren't healed? Why does Jesus sometimes mention forgiving sins and sometimes not? Does physical healing imply something was broken before and how does that affect our theology of wholeness? We also explore the 3 R's of application from the sermon: Remember those the world has forgotten, Reject the values of our broken world, and Receive the mercy of our Savior. Watch as we dig into ancient shame culture, contractual theology, and how the church can faithfully preach healing without unintentionally reinforcing harmful assumptions. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:09 - What's New with the Gang 00:44 - Pacers NBA Finals Loss & Family Reactions 15:05 - Transition to Sermon Discussion 20:00 - Disability, Healing, and Ancient Context 27:27 - Faith, Healing, and Discomfort 32:22 - Theology of Healing & Faith 36:36 - Prophecy, Inclusion, and New Creation 42:59 - Jesus, Context, and Social Inclusion 46:21 - Healing, Wholeness, and Social Models 52:24 - Remembering the Forgotten & Mercy 56:36 - Rejecting Broken World Values 01:03:09 - Receiving Mercy & Contractual Theology 01:06:21 - Where Do We Go Next?

Romans 5:1-5 & John 16:12-15Today, as we celebrate Trinity Sunday, Pastor Greg invites us to consider the Trinity as God, relating personally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that we are made in the image of self-giving, unified love.

In this episode of Hunger for Wholeness, Sr. Ilia Delio speaks with independent scholar Jared Morningstar about the transformative potential of science-informed spirituality. Drawing from Islamic philosophy, including the thought of Muhammad Iqbal, Jared explores how process thought might bridge religious divides and invite a deeper interfaith convergence—one grounded in creativity, ecological awareness, and scientific integrity.Together, Sr. Ilia and Jared reflect on the long but fractured relationship between science and religion. Why have these traditions, which once collaborated, become estranged? What would it take to move beyond entrenched patriarchal and tribal patterns—particularly those that continue to shape the experiences of women within religious life?Later in the episode, the conversation turns to the enduring role of tradition and the search for meaning in a complex, pluralistic world.ABOUT JARED MORNINGSTAR"Almost everything worthwhile which has accumulated in any religious tradition was, in its own time, a striking ingression of fresh creativity—a creativity, of course, in contact with the self-same wellspring of inspiration at the root of the founding moments of the tradition in question.”Jared Morningstar is an independent scholar with academic interests in philosophy of religion, Islamic studies, comparative religion, metamodern spirituality, and interfaith dialogue. His work in these areas seeks to offer robust responses to issues of inter-religious conflict, contemporary nihilism, and the "meaning crisis," among other things. Jared graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2018 with degrees in religion and Scandinavian studies and currently works for the Center for Process Studies and the Psychedelic Medicine Association. At the Center for Christogenesis we are in the midst of our June fundraiser.

In today's gathering, we focused on praying for the miracle of healing from trauma. Pastor Hurmon gave us five specific miracles to pray for. We can often struggle to name exactly what happened to us, so the first prayer is for “Courage to Name My Wound Without Shame”. Trauma doesn't just hurt us—it shapes us. It can show up in many obvious and covertly destructive ways in our lives. Our second prayer is for “Insight to See the Patterns”. We heal best not alone, but in community. Our third prayer is for “A Heart That Moves Toward Community”. When we feel weighed down by our trauma, we can feel hopeless, but God can turn our wounds into witness. We should pray for “A Testimony in the Making”. Healing from trauma provides peace. We pray for “The Miracle of Peace'. Bring all your requests from God and he will listen to your prayers. Come back on Wednesday for a prayer and worship night!

Sometimes, we need to use a different word in order to let Grace in. In this meditation, I explore 'presence' as another name for Self, Oneness, and Reality—so we can deepen our somatic experience of the undivided now. Whether you're seeking peace, clarity, healing, or a sense of belonging, this inquiry invites you to rediscover Wholeness - not as something to achieve, but as something that we already ARE. Even pain becomes a doorway back into inclusion when we realize what holds it is inherently complete and loving. I don't want to add more words to our conceptual understandings, but challenge the assumptions we often make on this path, which can become what limits us from a deeper homecoming. Much love and gratitude for listening today.

Living in Divine Communion: The Heart of Spiritual Health In this episode, we explore the foundation of spiritual health—not as a religious add-on, but as the very core of what it means to be fully human. Drawing from Scripture, the theology of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and the ache of the modern soul, we reflect on how our deepest wounds and longings are not problems to fix but invitations into divine communion.   We examine what happens when we try to create ourselves apart from God—and how returning to our true identity as beloved sons and daughters brings clarity, peace, and wholeness. Through stories, reflection, and practical wisdom, this episode invites you to abide in Christ, reorder your desires, and live from the inner room where God dwells.   Spiritual wholeness isn't about perfection—it's about presence. Not about doing more—but about dwelling more deeply in the love of the One who made you.   At the end of the episode, you'll find 10 journaling prompts and reflection questions to help you live out what you've heard. Let this be more than a listen—let it be a turning point.   “Do I approach prayer as a relationship or a task?” Reflect on your experience of prayer. Is it a checklist, or an encounter with Someone who loves you? “What do I most deeply desire?” Trace your strongest longings—are they leading you closer to God or away from Him? “Where am I trying to create or prove myself rather than receive my identity from God?” Explore the pressure you may feel to be self-made. What would it look like to rest in being God's beloved? “Do I live as though I am chosen and loved by God—or as though I must earn love and prove worth?” Consider the emotional tone of your daily life—performance-driven or grace-rooted? “What spiritual lie do I hear most often—and what truth does God speak instead?” Identify one recurring falsehood (e.g., “I am unlovable” or “God is distant”) and counter it with Scripture. “Where am I off course by ‘just one degree' in my spiritual life?” Is there a small misalignment—like distraction, a neglected habit, or spiritual drift—that could, over time, distance you from your true destination? “What do I do when I feel disillusioned or disappointed? Write honestly about times you've been let down or hurt. Where can healing begin? “How do I abide in Christ throughout my day?” Make a list of practices or reminders that help you stay rooted in Him—from Scripture, silence, music, to sacrament. “Where do I resist God's love or hide from it?” Reflect on places of shame, fear, or control. What would it mean to allow God into those places? “In my life right now, where am I being called to surrender, not try harder?” Ask: Is this a moment for discipline—or a moment for deeper trust?  

Healing and Wholeness: The 18-Inch Journey from Head to Heart “The glory of God is man fully alive.” —St. Irenaeus “God does not love some ideal version of you. He loves you—with your particular history, wounds, and desires.” This episode takes you on what may be the most important journey of your life: the 18 inches from the head to the heart. Through the story of Blaise Pascal's mystical night of fire, the gentle wisdom of Harvey's Elwood P. Dowd, and the wisdom of the Church, we explore what it means to become an integrated person—one who lives not in fragmentation, but in communion. We are not just minds or spirits—we are embodied, emotional, historical persons. And while trauma, generational wounds, and spiritual lies may have fractured our inner life, God is drawing us back into wholeness. This is not a journey of perfection, but of integration—of learning to live fully alive. You'll hear about: The role of the family in shaping our early spiritual imagination The wounds that distort identity and the lies we carry into adulthood How emotional maturity, spiritual direction, and community lead us to healing How God re-parents us through His Word, His Church, and His sacraments This episode is an invitation to courageously face the inner story you've believed—and to let God write a new one with you. Reflection & Journaling Questions for Prayer   Where in my life do I live more from my head than from my heart? Where do I hide behind intelligence, control, or performance rather than love, vulnerability, and trust? Have I made the 18-inch journey from being right to being real? What would it mean to let go of needing to prove myself and instead seek communion? What were the spoken or unspoken rules in my family growing up? (“Don't feel,” “Be perfect,” “Never be weak,” etc.) What emotions were welcomed in my childhood? What emotions were avoided or punished? What role did I play in my family system? (Hero, invisible one, peacekeeper, rebel…) How does that still shape me today? What is one lie I have believed about myself? (“I am only loved if…”; “I must always… to be safe.”) Ask: Where did I learn this? What is the truth that God wants to speak there? What pattern have I inherited from my family or past that I want to bring into the light of Christ? Pray: “Lord, show me where You were when I felt unseen.” Which of life's tasks—work, friendship, or love—do I tend to avoid? Ask: Where do I need more courage to live generously and not self-protect? Do I see emotional strength as a way to protect myself or to give myself away? What would it mean to see my strength as a gift for others? What private logic or internal script still shapes how I see myself, God, and others? Bring one of those to prayer. Ask: “Jesus, walk with me through the rooms of my childhood. What do You want to show me?”  

Discover the power of grounded spirituality and how it holds the key to authentic living and personal liberation. In this episode, I share transformative insights on how to embrace your humanity, prioritize presence over perfection, and unlock true freedom through self-love and compassion. Grounded spirituality is not about escaping life's challenges but about leaning into them with awareness, integrity, and an open heart. This is your invitation to move beyond performative practices and reconnect with what truly matters—your authentic self. Explore practical advice for integrating spiritual principles into everyday life, from navigating uncertainty to fostering deeper connections with others. Whether it's setting boundaries, doing shadow work, or practicing compassion over judgment, this episode offers tools to help you thrive in a chaotic world. If you're ready for a mindset shift, empowerment, and a more embodied approach to spirituality, this is a conversation you need to hear! Together, let's redefine what it means to live a spiritual life anchored in love, empathy, and shared humanity.

Bishop Mike Dobbs Original message - April 2018 The Apostolic Church Bartlett http://www.TAChurch.org

LESSON 169By Grace I Live. By Grace I Am Released.Grace is an aspect of the Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of truth. It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning, yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where it can be gently laid and willingly received; an altar clean and holy for the gift.Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real.Grace is not learned. The final step must go beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open mind can hear the Call to waken. It is not shut tight against God's Voice. It has become aware that there are things it does not know, and thus is ready to accept a state completely different from experience with which it is familiarly at home.We have perhaps appeared to contradict our statement that the revelation of the Father and the Son as one has been already set. But we have also said the mind determines when that time will be, and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to the Word of God to hasten the experience of truth, and speed its advent into every mind that recognizes truth's effects on you.Oneness is simply the idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them, and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of something not itself. It has united with its Source. And like its Source Itself, it merely is.We cannot speak nor write nor even think of this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition that its will is God's has been completely given and received completely. It returns the mind into the endless present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation; past all thought of time, forgiveness and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into his Father, as his Father has in him. The world has never been at all. Eternity remains a constant state.This is beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means.All learning was already in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He recognized all that time holds, and gave it to all minds that each one might determine, from a point where time was ended, when it is released to revelation and eternity. We have repeated several times before that you but make a journey that is done.For oneness must be here. Whatever time the mind has set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what must be a constant state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We merely take the part assigned long since, and fully recognized as perfectly fulfilled by Him Who wrote salvation's script in His Creator's Name, and in the Name of His Creator's Son.There is no need to further clarify what no one in the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond, and listen to words which explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those who count the hours still, and rise and work and go to sleep by them?Suffice it, then, that you have work to do to play your part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your part is done. It does not matter. For your part is still what all the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune with God.Forgiveness is the central theme that runs throughout salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful relationships, the course it runs directed and its outcome sure. And now we ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven, yet does not replace the thought of time but for a little while.The interval suffices. It is here that miracles are laid; to be returned by you from holy instants you receive, through grace in your experience, to all who see the light that lingers in your face. What is the face of Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness, and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it forever, while a part of you remains outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as witness to the truth?Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant, and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them back to yourself. And revelation stands not far behind. Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace, and for experience that comes from grace. We welcome the release it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace that has been given us.Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer. Yet in the world, what could be more than what we ask this day of Him Who gives the grace we ask, as it was given Him?By grace I live. By grace I am released.By grace I give. By grace I will release.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

You've been sold a lie: that authenticity means spilling everything and bleeding on everyone. That your pain validates your platform and makes you more mature. This week, Levi Lusko joins us to dismantle that fallacy. He's faced the brutal shock of grief and the hidden ruins of unsurfaced trauma. He's walked through the disillusionment of midlife irrelevance. And he's learned the hard truth: healing doesn't include weaponizing your pain, and authenticity doesn't mean emotional anarchy. In this episode, Levi pulls back the curtain on what happens when grief blindsides you, why trauma must be surfaced before it surfaces on others, and how midlife loss of relevance can become the birthplace of greater purpose. We talk about the toxicity of “authenticity culture”—why sharing pain doesn't always lead to healing, and why containment, resilience, and sacred boundaries are essential. If you've ever bared your struggle and felt worse… if you're deep in grief or navigating a midlife low… this conversation will give you clarity, grace, and a restoration plan.

This week I have an inspiring conversation with Kevin Hutchison, a newly published author and wonderful person I worked with in my author program, Nonfiction Book School. We talk about his unique path from pastor to marketing professional, with a journey from self-rejecting into self-love. Kevin was inspired to share his story through his upcoming book, Alchemy from Ashes: Bringing My Shattered Faith, Mental Health, and Sexuality into Wholeness.

You've been told addiction is a disease or a moral failing. That emotional pain is separate from your brain wiring. And that quantum physics is just science fiction jargon. This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren—a neurosurgeon, Iraq War vet, and author—pushes back on all of that. He exposes how unraveling addiction requires more than therapy—it demands restructuring your neural pathways. He digs into how neurodivergent brains function, why most spiritual advice fails, and how quantum physics reveals that your brain isn't a victim—it's a participant. Lee will show you why normal isn't enough, why passive hope is setting you up for failure, and why self‑brain‑surgery—rewiring your neural patterns—is the ultimate resistance. If you're wrestling with addictive patterns, feeling trapped in mental loops, or want hard science fused with spiritual hope, this conversation will light a fire under you. This isn't motivation—it's neuroscience applied. It's the answer buried inside your skull. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!
