Podcasts about Wholeness

A season of reflection led us back into years of past conversations, where unexpected threads began to intertwine. In this episode, we bring those threads into conversation with each other—voices like Makoto Fujimura, Praveen Sethupathy, Krista Tippett, Mike McHargue, and Bill Newsome—to explore how both science and faith gesture toward wholeness in a world marked by fracture. Themes of mending, spiritual hunger, rest, and stubborn hope surface anew as these earlier moments speak to one another in ways we couldn't have anticipated at the time. What emerges is less a retrospective and more a fresh way of seeing: an invitation to notice the cracks, name them honestly, and discern the gold that might do the work of mending. Clips from this episode are from: Makoto Fujimura, Episode 110, 2022 Praveen Sethupathy, Episode 120, 2022 Krista Tippett, Episode 15, 2019 Mike McHargue, Episode 24, 2019 Bill Newsome, Episode 77, 2021  

This week, I talk with Parker Palmer in one of the most intimate and expansive conversations I've had on Good Work. Parker is an author, activist, and teacher whose ideas have shaped generations. But what moves me most is his honesty. We talk about the winding path that led him from academic life to community organizing to a Quaker learning community where he rebuilt his inner world. We explore discernment, solitude, “Circles of Trust”, and what it means to listen to the voice of your soul—especially in seasons of burnout or heartbreak. At 86, Parker reflects on aging, democracy, vocation, and his belief that the heart can break in two ways: it can shatter, or it can break open into greater capacity. If you've ever felt pulled toward a path you “can't not do,” or if your inner life is asking more of you right now, this conversation is for you. Let's get to it! In this episode: (00:00) – Intro (00:42) – “Deep in the oatmeal” and the role of humor in a serious life (02:11) – How Parker's spiritual life slowly took shape (13:08) – Choosing to stay at Pendle Hill—and what that meant for Parker's family (23:45) – How to tell the difference between a passing idea and a true calling (31:40) – A radically different way of being in community (40:45) – Why presence matters more than fixing (52:35) – The unlikely beginnings of the Center for Courage & Renewal (01:05:17) – What 30 years of building an organization has taught Parker (01:15:06) – Solitude, nature, and marriage as sustaining practices (01:22:31) – Aging, loss, and staying open to what's next (01:30:39) – The two ways a heart can break Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

What Am I?I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.Our use for words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me, so what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God.LESSON 351My Sinless Brother Is My Guide To Peace.My Sinful Brother Is My Guide To Pain.And Which I Choose To See I Will Behold.Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.- Jesus Christ in ACIm

This episode is an invitation to rethink what “clean,” “healthy,” and “balanced” actually mean - for our dogs, our homes, and the wider living systems we're part of.I sit down with Joe Flanagan, founder of Ingenious Probiotics, whose journey into the world of beneficial bacteria began in the most unexpected place: temperature control and air quality. What unfolded from there is a story that reaches far beyond products or protocols. It's about remembering a way of living that honours life instead of fighting it.Together we explore the anti-bacterial paradigm so many of us were raised inside, and what really happens when we wipe life away… and the ways Mother Nature inevitably fills the vacuum we create.We touch on:

LESSON 347Anger Must Come From Judgment.Judgment Is The Weapon I Would Use Against Myself,To Keep The Miracle Away From Me.Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He sees what I behold, and yet He knows the truth. He looks on pain, and yet He understands it is not real, and in His understanding it is healed. He gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your Own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracles to come to me.Listen today. Be very still, and hear the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the Son He loves.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

This week, Justin sits down with bestselling author Laura McKowen for an honest, layered conversation about sobriety, identity, creative calling, and the slow, often painful work of becoming whole. Together they explore:• Why “place” matters for emotional and spiritual grounding• The strange internal pull that guides creative people long before they have language for it• How early snippets of desire can act as breadcrumbs into a future self• The difference between writing for yourself and writing for publication• Why AA saved Laura's life—and where its framing can unintentionally keep people small• How relapse, repeated “Day Ones,” and imperfect recovery are part of the human journey• The relationship between money, creativity, and integrity• Why the long work of sobriety is ultimately a long work of identityThe episode closes with a reading from In the Low and a reflection on why wholeness—not speed, not perfection—is the actual goal.Laura's Website - https://www.lauramckowen.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/laura_mckowen Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

We loved our conversation with Carrie Schmitt—a radiant artist, author, and creative guide who lives in devotion to Creativity as a sacred, healing force. Carrie began painting in 2009 after a life-changing diagnosis and soon discovered art not as a skill to master, but as a spiritual path to presence, comfort, and connection.Her vibrant floral paintings and mixed-media pieces are collected internationally and have been featured in BBC News, Where Women Create, In Her Studio, and Spirituality & Health. But what moves us most is her intention: she isn't trying to “get better” at art. She is continually seeking a deeper intimacy with the spirit behind the art—the presence she feels each time she creates.Carrie's newest book, Awakening Creativity: A Sacred Journey to Reclaim Your Inner Artist (October 2025), invites us to view creativity not as a personal talent, but as a loving companion longing to collaborate with us. She expands this work through upcoming retreats and a 10-month Creative Pilgrimage designed for anyone yearning to live more artfully, soulfully, and awake to beauty.You can explore more of Carrie's work, classes, and creative community atWebsite: carrieschmittdesign.comInstagram: @carrieschmittDirect link to order from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Awakening-Creativity-Sacred-Journey-Reclaim/dp/1950253694/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8Two free chapters of Awakening Creativity delivered to your inbox and order it if you like it here: https://hierophantpublishing.com/books/awakening-creativity/Join Carrie for a free online book club to discuss the book. https://www.carrieschmittdesign.com/book-club/

LESSON 345I Offer Only Miracles Today, For I Would Have Them Be Returned To Me.Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Rabia Erduman, a respected spiritual teacher, author, and transformational counselor, explores the profound human journey from perceived separation to the revelation of true unity in Veils of Separation and Finding the Face of Oneness. Drawing from her background in psychology, metaphysics, and experiential healing, Rabia guides seekers through the inner barriers—fear, trauma, identity, ego—that obscure our innate connection to the divine source and to one another. Her work emphasizes self-awareness, compassion, and deep inner inquiry as pathways to dissolving these veils and awakening to a state of conscious oneness. With clarity, warmth, and a lifetime of spiritual insight, Rabia Erduman offers a compelling map for personal transformation, inviting listeners to rediscover the universal truth that separation is an illusion and that the essence of life is unity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Andy Mainiero's missional experience started with obedience and small beginnings. He started house churches and clubs for youth. These ministries grew, and as they grew, so did Andy's awareness of trauma and its impact. But when Andy and his wife adopted children from the foster care system, he dove into learning all he could about trauma--or more importantly, what it means to be trauma transformed.Today, Andy is an assistant professor of mission theology at Fuller Seminary, and the founder and director of the Shalom Gospel Network—a global impact network that promotes and facilitates trauma-transforming mission and ministry. Listen in as Andy shares his biblical interpretation of Shalom, wholeness, and what it looks like to enjoy wholeness in the midst of pain. "Shalom is the way things were meant to be..it's never fully complete. It's an ongoing journey of wholing all our parts, putting them back together into its intended shalom."What better way to close the year than with an episode focused on Shalom.

In this episode, I challenge the lifelong conditioning that tells us selfishness is a flaw. Instead, redefining "selfish" as the act of becoming your own greatest advocate — filling your cup so deeply that the overflow elevates every area of your life. I explore why prioritising your energy, your growth and your wellbeing isn't neglect, it's the foundation of inner wealth. This episode is an invitation to claim your evolution, protect your peace and understand that everything you desire begins with you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Selfishness is self-advocacy. Prioritising your wellbeing, energy and growth isn't harmful — it's the foundation of becoming your highest self. Your energy is your currency. Everything you give attention to either fills you or drains you, so invest it where it brings real return. Wholeness creates overflow. When you fill yourself first, you naturally have more focus, presence and generosity to offer others. Your life expands when you choose yourself. The people who grow, evolve and succeed are the ones who deliberately make themselves their top priority. HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences.

Advent E2 — In the second week of Advent, we're reflecting on peace. The word most often translated as “peace” in the Hebrew Bible is shalom, but its meaning goes far beyond the absence of conflict. Shalom is about wholeness, completeness, and everything being as it should be. It describes uncut stones at an altar, honest weights in the marketplace, integrity of the heart, flourishing relationships, and life lived in harmony with God's purposes. In this episode, Jon and Tim trace the deep biblical meaning of peace and show how Advent points to the arrival of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who reconciles divided people and makes them one.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSShalom in Stones, Weights, and Hearts—and Also Fulfillment (00:00–15:15)Shalom as Well-Being and the Prince of Shalom  (15:15–29:21)Jesus, Our Peace (29:21–35:38)Reflections on Peace With Allison (35:38-39:42)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESShalom / Peace: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word, shalom.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Silver N Gold” by  Lofi Sunday & Yoni Charis“Snow Fall” by Lofi Sunday & TBabz “Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

What is a Miracle?A miracle is a correction. It does not create, nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love's awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there.Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show that what is born can never die, for what has life has immortality.LESSON 341I Can Attack But My Own Sinlessness,And It Is Only That Which Keeps Me Safe.Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. And in its kind reflection we are saved.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary In this discussion, the family explore the importance of guarding the heart and mind through the Word of God, emphasizing faith, focus, and transformation by renewing the mind. Ken and others share that in times of confusion and anxiety, believers must anchor their thoughts in truth and maintain an atmosphere filled with God's presence. They highlight Philippians 4:8 as a blueprint for keeping the mind centered on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy. The conversation calls for believers to shift from old patterns of thinking into a new day led by the Spirit, trusting that faith and rest in God will bring inner transformation and clarity. Show Notes • Living in a time of confusion and anxiety – holding the Word in the heart. • Applying Philippians 4:8 to guard thoughts with truth and righteousness. • Maintaining the right atmosphere around yourself through prayer and focus. • Transitioning from old ways of thinking into being led by the Holy Spirit. • The importance of teaching truth and renewal of the mind to younger generations. • Learning to rest in God's promises rather than struggling in the flesh. • Faith as the foundation—believing God above circumstances or symptoms. • Wholeness in spirit, soul, and body as part of walking in sonship. Quotes • “Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.” – Ken • “Whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is of good report—dwell on these things.” – Ken • “I love to do that first thing in the morning—ask God, ‘What do You want for today?'” – Dale • “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” – Mike • “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Ken • “

Bringing Up the World: Raising a Child or a Dream from Wholeness with Danielle C. Baker In this Soul Map Dialogue, Danielle C. Baker — author of Bringing Up the World — joins me for a grounded and heartfelt exploration of what it truly means to help a child (or a dream) thrive. We talk about safety, presence, and what truly matters that create the right conditions for growth. Danielle shares how small shifts in the caregiver can create profound transformation in the child — and why focusing on what really matters is the key to watching a child bloom. If you're ready to experience parenting, caregiving, or dream-building through the lens of wholeness rather than worry, this episode will feel like an exhale. ✨Visit soulhealthmentor.com to upvote the episode and leave a comment on what touched you. ✨ Learn more about Danielle's work: https://beingconnected.ca

LESSON 339I Will Receive Whatever I Request.No one desires pain. But he can think that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and dangerous. Everyone will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about the things he wants; the state he would attain. What can he then request that he would want when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love.Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself, but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only Thoughts You share with me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 336Forgiveness Lets Me Know That Minds Are Joined.Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception's ending. Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart.- Jesus Christ in Acim

LESSON 335I Choose To See My Brother's Sinlessness.Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother's sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Part five of the "Healing, Health, and Wholeness" series. We finish up the series with some testimonies from Pastors Richard and Gail as well as Pastor Lindsey. They show from personal experience the process of healing and trusing in God despite feelings and circumstances.

Today's Wholeness message is one I wish more people understood. We work so hard trying to become better leaders in our companies, our communities, and our careers, but the greatest training ground for leadership is actually our family life.In this episode, I share how the little everyday moments at home shape who we are as leaders. The spilled milk, the rushed evenings, the moments we snap when we're tired, the patterns that repeat all of it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and grow.I talk about how to:Notice the situations that trigger youAnticipate them the way you would in a workplaceUse reflection to understand the real pattern underneath the conflictPractice inclusive leadership with the people you love mostListen in a way that helps others feel understood instead of rushing to speakWhether you're a parent, a partner, a sibling, or a child, you are leading every single day. Your home is shaping your character, your emotional intelligence, and your capacity to create belonging.If you've been wanting to feel more grounded, more patient, and more aligned in how you show up, this episode will feel like a deep breath.

Our society often runs on a nervous system of noise and pressure. Virginia Dixon tackles this by examining the deeper structures – the "Anatomy of Descent" and the lies we believe – that derail us and hijack our central nervous system. She argues that true REST is the counter-force, a vital rhythm that heals and frees. This conversation explores the role of faith, the weight of narratives, and the courage needed to govern oneself towards peace. It's an exploration of finding your center in a world that pulls us apart.Where to Find VirginiaWebsiteInstagramFacebookLinkedInDonate

What is the Ego?The ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the “will” that sees the Will of God as enemy, and takes a form in which it is denied. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true.The ego is insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself. And in its terrible autonomy it “sees” the Will of God has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment, and trembles at the figures in its dreams; its enemies, who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them.The Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?To know reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so immense that crucifixion of the Son of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine, and blood must flow before the altar where its sickly followers prepare to die.Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him.LESSON 331There Is No Conflict, For My Will Is Yours.How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the Will of Love. Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, eternal truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.Forgiveness shows us that God's Will is one, and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace of God. Amen.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

In this week's episode, I'm unpacking a powerful, dual-story moment in Scripture that has been ministering deeply to my heart—Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5.We explore what it means to pursue Jesus in desperation, to press through discouragement, and to discover that He often gives us more than we were even asking for. I share how this passage has encouraged me in a season of spiritual fatigue and waiting, and how God reminded me that He doesn't just heal—He restores identity.If you've ever begged God for just one breakthrough, or wondered whether He sees you while others receive their blessing, this conversation is for you. You're not forgotten. You're not overlooked. And you are still His child.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our guest this week, John Ulsh, spent 18 days in a coma after he and his family were in a high-speed head-on car crash. And that was just the beginning of the ordeal he endured.Given just a 3 percent chance to live, enduring more than 45 surgeries to piece his broken body back together, he has not let the pain keep him from discovering his purpose: helping others overcome adversity and finding strength in their struggles.To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com.Enjoy the show?

Subscribers can dive into exclusive, extended conversations from this podcast! To join the adventure, head to BumpInTheRoad.Substack.com. Roxanne Howe Murphy's latest book, The Four Sacred Portals: Your Journey of Wholeness and Deep Kinship with Life, examines a transformative journey of self-discovery through the lens of the Enneagram and the concept of sacred portals. The Enneagram, a symbol representing the nine personality types, serves as a powerful tool for understanding our unique paths in life. The sacred portals she describes are not just theoretical concepts; they are practical pathways to connect with our inner selves and the world around us. Each portal represents a unique aspect of our journey, from sacred holding to sacred engagement, guiding us toward a more authentic existence. One of the most profound insights shared in this episode is the idea that presence is never automatic. It needs cultivation, particularly in a world that prioritizes external validation, rather than an inner trust in ourselves. If you're seeking guidance on your own path of self-discovery or looking for ways to deepen your understanding of the Enneagram, this episode is a must-listen. Roxanne's wisdom and insights will inspire you to explore the sacred portals within yourself and embrace the journey of wholeness and interconnectedness with all of life. Learn to navigate your journey with purpose, joy, and authenticity. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation that promises to leave you feeling inspired and empowered.

It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road." –Pragito Dove "Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth.

In conversation with poet Parker Palmer, we trace the quiet art of listening for one's true vocation, the solace of circles where no one is fixed or saved, and the long, harrowed path toward a wholeness that does not deny its own fractures.Parker J.

In this second part of her conversation with Robert Nicastro, theologian and spiritual teacher Sheri Kling deepens the discussion on how process and open and relational theologies can reshape our spiritual lives.What does it mean to pray into immanence rather than plead to a distant deity? How can our rituals and symbols come alive again when they're held with spaciousness? And what does faith beyond belief look like in a world longing for depth and connection?Sheri shares how process theology transforms worship, preaching, and community life—and offers tools for religious leaders hoping to revive faith without falling into dogma. From quantum entanglement to Ezekiel's dry bones, she invites us to imagine a God intimately present in all things, calling us toward healing, renewal, and co-creative hope.Later in the episode, Sheri reflects on spiritual maturity, recovering from toxic religion, and why deconstruction must give way to reconstruction rooted in wonder, trust, and love.ABOUT SHERI KLING“We are a fragmented people in a fragmented world—but when we begin to think with a more integrative, relational vision of reality, faith can come alive again. We discover that we matter, we belong, and we can participate in the sacred work of a whole-making cosmos.”Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D., is a writer, theologian, songwriter, and spiritual teacher who serves as director of Process & Faith with the Center for Process Studies, interim minister of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Bradenton, Florida, and teaches regularly for the Haden Institute and Claremont School of Theology, from which she earned her doctorate. She is the author of A Process Spirituality: Christian and Transreligious Resources for Transformation and editor of Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies. She speaks, teaches, and leads retreats on spirituality, theology, and transformation, and her work can be found online at sherikling.com and her Substack, The Sacred Everywhere.The Center for Christogenesis is in the midst of our Winter Fundraiser as we celebrate ten years of exploring faith, science, and the promise of a new future.

Part four of the "Healing, Health, and Wholeness" series. Pastor Richard continues the series talking about how people are desperately searching for ANSWERS. We need to POINT THEM to JEHOVAH RAPHA, a COVENANT NAME for God revealing God's HEALING NATURE and CHARACTER.

Dr. Dan interviews coach, Enneagram teacher, and author Courtney Smith to explore how we grow, evolve, and reclaim our most authentic selves. Courtney shares the transformational journey that took her from a high-achieving, analytical career to helping leaders and individuals uncover the stories, fears, and inner patterns that shape their lives. Together, they dive into themes of self-awareness, purpose, empowerment, courage, compassion, and authentic leadership, revealing how we can all step out of our “zone of greatness” and into our true zone of genius. Drawing from Courtney's work with the Enneagram, Conscious Leadership tools, and her new workbook Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self By Elise Loehnen and Courtney Smith, this episode breaks down how old stories and inherited beliefs keep us stuck — and how understanding fear, rewriting narratives, and naming our “parts” can create profound personal growth. This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune inward, and step courageously into a more authentic and connected version of yourself. It's for leaders, caregivers, creators, and anyone committed to personal evolution and meaningful impact.

What if being a “good partner” has been quietly costing you your aliveness? We've been taught to shrink, to please, to perfect, to wear the mask of goodness so well that we forget what it feels like to truly be. We keep trying to be the “good partner,” the perfect child, the devoted spouse, the reliable coworker, all while losing touch with the fire that makes us feel alive. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Elise Loehnen, author of Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, to explore how centuries of conditioning have shaped women into believing their worth depends on how selfless, small, and compliant they can be. Elise's work builds on the success of her bestseller On Our Best Behavior, but this time she offers a guide for transformation that takes you from awareness to real, embodied change. We dive deep into shadow work and the ways women unconsciously inherit narratives that limit their freedom, from “I shouldn't need help” to “I'll only be loved if I make life easy for everyone else.” Together, we explore how to spot these stories, name them, and finally release them. We explore: Why being “good” often means abandoning your true self How inherited stories from culture and family silently shape your choices The difference between worth and value and why it changes everything What the “core process” reveals about fear, control, and the desire to be needed How to distinguish facts from stories and reclaim your power The real currency of abundance and how to break free from scarcity thinking How to recognize your personas, from the overfunctioner to the pleaser, and set them free Why self-care isn't indulgent but sacred maintenance for your aliveness Remember to check out Elise's new book Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self.

So many believers are praying for breakthrough yet quietly living with pain, stress, and exhaustion that God never designed them to carry. My conversation with Bill and Clara Bolin reveals how wholeness in the body is deeply connected to wholeness in the spirit, and how many Christians never reclaim what already belongs to them as sons and daughters . You will hear how God restored strength, mobility, and sight in ways that left even their doctors stunned, and how that journey awakened them to the power of stewarding the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. When you understand what it looks like to partner with God with renewed vitality, you will realize you were never meant to just survive — you were created to live fully alive in every part of your life.   Podcast Episode 1941: You Were Created for Wholeness and This Is How You Take It Back | don't miss this!
