Adrian Warnock Christian Podcast: Hope, compassion, and healing

What is biopsychosocial spiritual care? Ashley Hageman and Adrian Warnock explore chronic illness, mental health, disability, theology, compassion, and whole-person healthcare.

Are you a doctor, nurse, other healthcare worker, psychologist, therapist, counselor, social worker, carer, pastor, chaplain, or do you offer pastoral care? Learn a model that will help you think of people as complete, and not just parts.

A staggering number of the most admired leaders of his time and ever since have acknowledged John Newton's huge influence on them, as can be seen by the quotes describing him at the front of my book Amazing Grace, or on its Amazon page.

Big name pastors including Spurgeon, Lloyd-Jones, Whitefield, Wesley, Piper, and Keller all have their high regard for Newton in common. Since they all point to him as an incredibly helpful encourager and teacher, it is surely essential that a new generation hears his voice again.

Sometimes God whispers to draw out our attention. Sometimes it can feel more like a yell! I want to encourage you to watch or listen to this conversation which can only be described as spiritual provocation. You can watch the video or read the transcript on Substack.

“Open” is not Biblical, “eagerly desire spiritual gifts” is.

Team publications where contributions are written by a number of different authors will be important in the future of Substack. Articles can be cross-posted from other sites, producing a collection of relevant and good quality content from across Substack. If, like me, you tend to write about a range of subjects then it makes sense to collaborate with more than one of these. This might seem like a long list, but I have always written about all these subjects and each publication will be a true collaboration rather than resting on my shoulders alone.

You might want to subscribe to one or more of the publications listed below. Please also let me know if you would also like to collaborate on any of them.

John Piper rarely gives interviews of any form, except for what was at this point still his future “Ask John Piper” podcast, so it was a real privilege, to record this interview that I hope you will enjoy listening to.

He said that he was both “contaminated by the charismatic” and “a seven-point Calvinist.” He spoke about preaching, preparation and how he heard God calling him to pastor.

What does Christ in You mean for us today?

Christ in You: Experiencing Intimacy with Jesus

https://mybook.to/Christinyou

Many Christians long for a deeper, more intimate walk with God, yet struggle to experience His presence in daily life. We believe the right things, try to live faithfully, and still feel alone. But Scripture reveals a stunning truth: Jesus intends to live His life in us, with us, and for us. You were created for a moment-by-moment life with Jesus shaped through spiritual formation.
