Join us for our Advent Season of Faith in Pieces!

Join us for a special episode of Faith in Pieces as we share reflections from our recent trip to Kansas City for the Leadership Institute at Church of the Resurrection.

Faith in Pieces | Bodies, Balance, and Holy Sweat

Coach Stacey McDaniel joins us to talk about caring for our bodies not just as a health goal—but as a way of honoring God. We explore what it means to see our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, how faith can motivate rather than shame us, and why balance is key in a world obsessed with performance. Whether you're a lifelong gym-goer or just trying to get a little more rest, this episode is full of encouragement and practical wisdom for all of us.

This week on Faith in Pieces, we’re talking about mental wellness — what it means, why it matters, and how faith and therapy can work together to help us live with wholeness.

We’re joined by Lannie Cox, a licensed therapist from Cy-Hope, who helps us unpack common challenges to mental health, how to spot signs we might be stuck, and what practical steps we can take to care for our minds in a chaotic world. We also talk about the myths that keep people from seeking help, the ways churches can reduce stigma, and why Paul’s invitation to “renew your mind” isn’t just about thinking happier thoughts.

Whether you're struggling, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what mental wellness looks like in a life of faith, this episode offers grace, grounding, and good conversation.

Made Well: Spiritual Wellness (with Rev. Collin Powell)

Rev. Collin Powell, Director of Spiritual Care and Values Integration at Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital, joins Shuler and Whitney to talk about what spiritual wellness really means. Drawing from his experience as a hospital chaplain, Collin shares how faith can hold people through life’s hardest moments — even when answers are few and healing isn’t guaranteed. Together, they explore how spiritual wellness differs from (but connects to) mental and physical wellness, what it looks like to care for others in crisis, and how churches can better support people on their journeys toward wholeness.

Whether you're walking through your own season of suffering or just want to deepen your understanding of what it means to be spiritually well, this episode offers grounding wisdom, honest reflection, and hope.

Do You Want to Be Made Well?

In this episode, we lay the foundation for the weeks ahead by unpacking the story of the man at the pool in John 5. Why does Jesus ask, “Do you want to be made well?” What does wellness actually look like when it goes beyond physical health? And how do we pursue healing in all parts of our lives — mind, body, spirit, and community?

We’ll also talk about the difference between cultural wellness and biblical wellness, and why your well-being matters not just to you, but to God.

This week on Faith in Pieces, we’re asking: What does the United Methodist Church actually say about war, peace, and diplomacy?

We explore the UMC’s Social Principles and what it means to be a people committed to peacemaking in a world that often chooses conflict. From just war theory to active nonviolence, we talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus as peacemakers—not just in theory, but in practice.

This week on Faith in Pieces, we’re asking: What should we say when someone is grieving or in crisis?

We unpack the well-meaning but harmful phrases people often say in tough times—and explore how theology, presence, and silence can actually bring comfort. From “everything happens for a reason” to “just showing up,” we reflect on what it means to be truly present with those who are hurting.

Faith, Forgiveness, and Chromebook Arson

We explore big questions from a middle school perspective (with special guest Bryce Erwin), including what it means to forgive others, how Jesus might handle social media, and how the church can create space where every generation feels seen and heard. Along the way, we also touch on mentorship, burnout, and one very specific TikTok trend involving a smoking Chromebook.
