My Spiritual Mentor: Dr Alice Cullinan Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Almost thirty years ago, a small but mighty professor at Gardner-Webb University taught a generation of students how to search their hearts, hear God's voice, and spot the difference between faith and its counterfeits. Her classes were so transformative that students warned each other: "Take a Cullinan class, but be prepared to change your major."

In this episode, Corie sits down with Dr. Alice Cullinan, now in her eighties, still writing, still teaching, to talk about what happens when the marketplace flips your apple cart. They explore what it means when the people who share your faith don't seem changed by it, how to tell the difference between God's voice and your own, and why the spiritual disciplines she taught decades ago might matter more now than ever.

Whether you grew up in the church, left the church, or are trying to figure out what to do with the church, this conversation is an invitation to linger.

In this episode:

The "apple cart" moments that reshape what we believe about the people around us.
Dr. Cullinan's origin story of a life-altering decision at her lowest moment to shaping generations of students.
Navigating ministry as a woman when institutions weren't ready.
"Time for a Checkup": the spiritual inventory practice that changed everything.
How to discern God's voice from your own in a noisy marketplace.
What Dr. Cullinan thinks about the evolution of the evangelical church
Why she says, "I do not trust myself ..."

Starting Your Adventure for the Right Reasons Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

In our first episode, we explored the idea of the hero’s journey and what it means to feel the “call to adventure” in your own life. Today, we’re going to take it a step further. We’ll talk about how to recognize if your call to adventure is coming from a place of genuine purpose—or if you might be tempted to start an adventure for reasons that could actually take you off course.

Connect with Me: Stay tuned for more episodes as we explore the stages of the hero’s journey and apply them to real-life growth and leadership. Don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and review the show, and share it with someone who might need a nudge toward their own adventure!

BONUS REPLAY: My Spouse Doesn’t Care About My Feelings Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

Season 7 might be over, but we are bringing back the Top 10 most listened-to episodes in Lifegiver Podcast History!

We often hear from couples that the service lifestyle has made my spouse "cold, calculated, and harsh." While this may be a nature versus nurture debate, the service lifestyle can definitely train a person to see the world differently. In this episode, Corie and Matt talk about how this doesn't have to create more conflict in your marriage- in fact it can be a strength you lean on!

Matt shares how growing up in a first responder home shaped him into the man he is today and how to understand the internal emotional world of warriors- in our community and military. Join us in a fun and moving discussion on how you can embrace who you are as well as how life has shaped you and become a stronger team together.

*** SPOILER ALERT- We talk about Avengers: Endgame in this episode, so please hold off on listening until you have seen it!

S6 E21 Restoration in Relationships, Pt 1 Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Today’s episode is part of a three part series on Restoration. In this series, Corie will unpack God’s design for restoration in relationships especially your marriage.

Recorded at a faith-based event in Oregon, Corie shares how your marriage can move past hurt and into a more intimate and forgiving place. While the Lifegiver Podcast is not necessarily a faith based podcast, it is a place for honest conversation and we believe that conversation often needs to address the deeper questions of spirituality and deeper healing for the soul.

Here is a view of Maslow's Ladder, referenced in the episode.

S6 E9: Intimacy Pt 1 Feb 14, 2021

Show notes

The USO is launching a new virtual series with Corie and Matt Weathers on how military families can stay strong while apart. Corie and Matt Weathers will share how they are keeping their military marriage strong through a season apart - as well as tips for how you can do the same.

Tools and concepts discussed during the series apply to all types of military-initiated separations; from deployments and trainings, to geo-bachelor tours, unaccompanied tours, and even third shift schedules.

Intimacy is a HUGE topic, especially for service couples. In this episode, Matt and I address sexual intimacy and many of the other types of intimacy couples can use to connect. Believe it or not, experts say there is between 5 and 40 different types of intimacy. We take some of the most popular questions surrounding intimacy, especially for couples who have to spend time apart. Don't miss this one!

A First Responder/Military Spouse Roundtable Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

Episode 2, Season 4

What happens when a veteran, a military spouse, and a first responder spouse sit down and talk about life together?

I often get asked, do we really have that much in common? Why would I have a podcast where I address the needs of both military and first responders? Because we have a whole lot more in common than you think.

In this episode, I bring Ashley and Sarah on the podcast to talk about our different worlds and we would love for you to join us.

Sarah is a first responder spouse, whose husband is now on the local SWAT team. She brings authenticity and humor that will brighten anyone's day.

Ashley, calling in from Italy, is a veteran herself by has retired and is now a military spouse. For those who don't know, we call that a dual service family. She brings a perspective that all of use should pay attention to.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and pretend you are sitting at the table with us. You will definitely be changed by this conversation.
