Break the Pattern of People Pleasing (Ft. Karen Ehman) Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever found yourself saying yes to one commitment after the other only to end up being burnt out and resentful?

Maybe you said yes because you’re a helper and you want to serve others or maybe you didn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.

For many women, people-pleasing is at the root of over-commitment.

But as today’s guest says, “Every time you say yes to something you shouldn’t, you are saying no to something important.”

So how can we learn to navigate the tension between following God’s call to serve others and creating time for rest and other priorities?

You’re about to find out!

In this episode, Jordan talks with Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and author Karen Ehman about how to break the pattern of people-pleasing.

Get ready to take some notes and tune in to this episode to learn:

Karen’s personal experience with people-pleasing and her experiment with saying no to extra commitments
How to discern what pleases God rather than what pleases people
The problems with overserving or saying yes to too many commitments
Questions you can ask yourself to determine if you should say yes to a request
Why saying no or setting boundaries doesn’t make you selfish or a “bad Christian”
What it looks like to live out your own priorities rather than caving to the opinions and expectations of others
Practical tips for saying no to extra commitments

Thoughts on Modern Medicine and a Holistic Lifestyle Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever found yourself stuck between two extremes - between modern medicine and living a more holistic lifestyle?

Maybe you had a bad experience with a doctor and you began focusing on making lifestyle changes and using natural remedies. But now you feel guilty about the prospect of taking any medication or utilizing modern medicine in any capacity - even if it could be helpful.

Or perhaps you’re on the flip side and see natural medicine as a hoax. You utilize modern medicine but have ended up relying on medication as a bandaid rather than exploring root causes or practicing prevention.

In our society, it has become easy to sink into black-and-white thinking and demonize either modern medicine or holistic and natural approaches.

But maybe it’s time to ask if these two approaches really need to be mutually exclusive. What if there could be a healthy blend of both approaches?

In this episode, Jordan shares her thoughts and experience on blending modern medicine with more holistic approaches.

Whether you find yourself leaning towards a more holistic and natural healing approach or towards modern medical practices, this episode will help you explore the benefits of both - and the problem with black-and-white thinking.

Tune in to learn:

The varying viewpoints on modern medicine vs. holistic medicine
The problem with seeing modern medicine and holistic medicine as mutually exclusive
Jordan’s personal experience with utilizing both medications and lifestyle changes
The problems that can be found in both modern medicine and holistic living approaches
How to navigate these two seemingly opposite approaches toward healing

In this episode, Jordan talks with the founder of the Brave Writer program, author Julie Bogart, about how we can be critical thinkers in a digital age.

If you’re ready to be and raise passionate learners who can think without fear or defensiveness, tune in to this episode to learn:

Have you ever felt like there are certain topics that are not openly talked about as Christians?

There are so many things happening in society and in our own lives and relationships that we often don’t know how to talk about.
