Faith & Feelings

• Series 7 Trailer | From Knowing to Experiencing God

  Have you ever felt like you know about God—but you don’t really know Him? Like you’re going through the motions of faith but longing for something deeper, something real? In this next podcast series, we’ll explore what it means to move beyond conceptual knowledge about God and into personal encounter — to truly experience God’s presence, hear His voice, and be transformed by His love. We’ll hear from guests who will share their stories towards deeper intimacy with God, and I’m also going to be introducing us to spiritual rhythms that I’ve found to be transformative in my own journey. If you’ve ever longed for more, I hope you’ll join me for this next series. Because God isn’t just someone to believe in. He’s someone to experience.

• How to Practice Self-Awareness in Relationships

  What messages did you receive about self-awareness as a child? Many of us grew up in environments that did not nurture self-awareness. Over the years, we’ve practiced disconnecting from our tears, grief, desires, or sensitivity. And not only disconnect, but we’ve learned to reject or criticize these feelings or experiences within ourselves. In this episode, I talk about how these ruptures that exist within us can cause the ruptures that happen between us. I also share some reflections on why relationships are the primary place where we can learn and practice self-awareness, as well and few practical ways to begin.

• Why Self-Awareness Leads to Deeper Intimacy With God with T.J. MacLeslie

  At the heart of the spiritual journey is relationship. Growing in self-awareness is not an end in itself, but the heart and the means to deeper intimacy with God. As author and ministry leader T.J. MacLeslie and I talk about today, Christian spirituality involves a transformation of the self that occurs only when God and self are both deeply known. In this episode, T.J. generously invites us into his story as he shows us why the spiritual journey is so much more than conceptually knowing God, but experiencing encountering Him. He shares how he began to untangle who God is from wounding experiences within the church, and what it looks like to pursue a real relationship with God — one that goes far beyond religious activity.

• Sorting Through the Competing Voices in Your Mind with Gem Fadling

  "You're not good enough.” "You need to try harder." "You’ll never keep up.” “There isn’t enough time.” These are the sorts of voices that can hum just beneath the surface of our minds, pushing us to act in unsustainable and frantic ways. So many of us long for the peace that comes with a life marked my internal calm and groundedness, but we feel gripped by anxiety. We don’t know what to do with these unhelpful thoughts circling within. How do we make sense of this inner chatter? And how do we settle enough to hear God’s voice? An important part of growing in self-awareness is learning how to make sense of these competing voices. That’s what author and spiritual director Gem Fadling and I talk about today. Gem brings decades of wisdom and personal experience to this conversation as she teaches us how to identify these voices, slow our internal pace, and move towards greater wholeness.

• How to Begin Listening to Your Body (And Why It’s So Hard to Do)

  God designed our bodies to tell us incredibly important things when it comes to growing and healing. In fact, I believe that one of the primary places we can grow in self-awareness is not books or podcasts or personality tests...but learning to listen to our own bodies. Why is this? Our bodies know more than our minds often do. And they are constantly speaking, revealing truth about what’s happening in the present or what happened to us in the past. In this week’s episode, I explain why it’s so important to listen to your body, and I offer one practical way to begin.
