Our Birth Story- The Good, the Bad, & the Messy Process Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

We just had our baby 2 weeks ago and have been on a podcast hiatus...both enjoying our new little boy and also processing some of the grief and trauma from the labor and birth.

We all have moments in our lives that aren't just black and white, good or bad.

How do we celebrate without dismissing grief?

How do we grieve without living in perpetual hopelessness?

A lot of you have been asking about how our birth experience was with Wilder...and this podcast episode is our response.

But besides the facts and events, we wanted to share about our raw process and how we navigated through disappintment despite having the most incredible day of our lives.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

True Emotional Health Leads to Jesus Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

We've seen people go after healing and leave christianity entirely.

We've seen people take license to just be triggered at everybody that sin't "safe".

We've seen people cling to religious legalism when healing and freedom is so close.

Whatever the case...there are a lot of "paths" out there to walk in our lives...a lot of options for how to do life and what to worship.

While many people have to intentionally question what they believe about God and many really should reconstruct their faith at some level, when do you go too far?

At what point do people miss out on the most freeing relationship that ever existed?

The truth is that Jesus is the most life-giving source of freedom that ever lived.

He is the person of unconditional love.

While some emotional health and psychologies philosophize and theorize unconditional love, we worship a real God and person that is the true manifestation of Love.

We don't have to fabricate this love in our minds.

He's a person that demonstrated this love to us.

We wanted to dialogue about God and the gospel and help listeners recenter to Him.

Weaponizing Emotional Health and Taking Ownership Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

We, as human beings, love to learn new language and understanding and point it at other people rather than ourselves...

It is so easy to learn new emotional health language and become more self aware and emotionally Intelligent to then want to point it at others when they/we are triggered.

We have done this so many times...

And it doesn't help.

We've also made turned emotional health into another "fix yourself" process and have resented it in different seasons.

If you struggle with needing control or you have been someone that has felt safer by "knowing" or "understanding" things...

Then this episode is for you.

Inner Healing vs. Deliverance Part 2 Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

If you want some nitty gritty stories of the supernatural and the demonic, then this is an episode you don't want to miss.

We're continuing our conversation about the demonic, the supernatural, and inner healing.

We might lose some of you here...but this is real stuff.

The last thing we want is to act like we have all of the answers but there are just things that we cannot ignore and we definitely cannot fake things that we have seen and experienced.

Hopefully, in this episode, you will have some questions and your eyes and lenses might open a little more as we are hoping for and praying for for ourselves as well.

Inner healing vs. Deliverance part 1 Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

The demonic is very real.

And I'm sure if you've been a part of the church for long enough, you've heard of a bunch of different kinds of inner healing methods or styles...

We've both experienced the demonic and the supernatural but we haven't built a "deliverance" ministry...

This podcast episode answers "why?"

In this episode, we share stories of the supernatural and talk about the differences between inner healing and deliverance and how that overlaps with the healing process.

Hopefully, some of your boxes will be broken and this dialogue will encourage you to keep an open mind.
