Find Our Breath

What do you do when your understanding reaches its limit?

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores the tension between faith and uncertainty through the lens of Proverbs 3:5-6. Together, we’ll examine why trust is so difficult when life feels unclear, why we often postpone our lives while waiting for certainty, and how faith invites us to stay present even when answers are unavailable.

Faith isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about learning to trust God when you don’t.

If you’ve ever wrestled with unanswered questions, difficult decisions, or the fear of getting it wrong, this conversation is for you.

Faith begins where certainty ends.

What happens when the person you trust the least is yourself?

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores the often-overlooked journey of rebuilding self-trust after disappointment, heartbreak, mistakes, and seasons of self-doubt. Together, we'll examine internal betrayal, imposter syndrome, shame, and the ways painful experiences can disconnect us from our own wisdom and discernment.

Through pastoral reflection, clinical insight, and spiritual encouragement, this conversation offers a compassionate invitation to stop defining yourself by old mistakes and begin trusting the person you are becoming.

Because healing isn't just learning to trust God again. Sometimes healing is learning to trust yourself again, too.

What do you do when you sense your life is changing, but you can’t yet see where the road leads?

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores the sacred tension of trusting God in seasons of uncertainty. Through personal storytelling, pastoral reflection, and spiritual insight, this conversation examines what it means to move forward when clarity is limited, answers are incomplete, and the next step requires faith.

Drawing from his own journey of relocating from New Jersey to North Carolina—a move that began with little more than a quiet nudge from the Holy Spirit—Dr. Charlestin reflects on the subtle ways God often guides us through impressions, invitations, and moments that only make sense in hindsight. From a seemingly ordinary conversation with a patient to a prompting to apply to Drew University, he shares how small acts of obedience became part of a much larger story of calling and purpose.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why the “in-between” seasons of life can feel so uncomfortable
• The difference between certainty and trust
• How past experiences can make faith feel difficult
• Learning to recognize God’s voice in quiet nudges rather than dramatic moments
• What Ecclesiastes teaches us about honoring the season we’re in
• How to trust both God’s guidance and our growing capacity to discern

Because faith is not having all the answers. Faith is continuing to walk when the answers haven’t arrived yet. If you’ve ever found yourself standing between what was and what will be, wondering whether you can trust the path ahead, this episode is for you.

You may not have the entire map.

But perhaps God has already given you enough light for the next step.

Many people were taught how to care for others… but never taught how to care for themselves.

So we overextend. Over-function. Over-give. And quietly wonder why we feel exhausted, disconnected, resentful, or emotionally depleted.

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores boundaries not as rejection or selfishness, but as sacred acts of stewardship. Through pastoral reflection, clinical insight, and compassionate honesty, this conversation examines why boundaries feel so difficult, how survival patterns shape our relationship with limits, and why so many people associate self-sacrifice with love.

Together, we unpack the emotional weight of saying “no,” the fear of disappointing others, and the exhaustion that comes from constantly abandoning yourself to maintain connection. This episode also reframes boundaries through the life of Jesus—who modeled compassion, rest, withdrawal, and discernment without shame.

Because boundaries are not walls meant to keep people out. They are wisdom. They are clarity. They are stewardship.

And perhaps part of becoming free is learning that you can love deeply without disappearing in the process. This episode is an invitation to honor your humanity, your capacity, and your peace with greater honesty and grace.

You are allowed to care for others…without abandoning yourself.

We all carry stories.

Stories shaped by childhood experiences, relationships, wounds, disappointments, survival, and the ways we learned to make sense of the world around us. Over time, those stories can become internal narratives that quietly shape how we see ourselves, others, and even God.

But what happens when old stories follow us into new seasons?

What happens when the narratives that once protected us begin limiting our ability to grow, trust, rest, connect, or fully become?

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores the sacred and often difficult work of confronting the internal stories that no longer align with truth. Through pastoral reflection, clinical insight, and compassionate honesty, this conversation examines how survival-based narratives are formed, why they persist, and what it means to begin releasing them without denying the experiences that shaped them.

This episode is an invitation to slow down and ask:

• What story have I been living from?
• Does it still fit who I am becoming?
• And what would it mean to build my life around truth instead of fear?

Because healing is not about pretending the old story never existed. It’s about no longer allowing it to define your future. You are not trapped in the narratives formed by your pain. You are still becoming.

Sometimes life doesn’t move the way we planned.

There are moments when we’re forced to pause… to pivot… to tend to what’s in front of us rather than push forward. And while that can feel frustrating, it is often part of the deeper work of becoming.

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin returns with an honest reflection on those unexpected pauses—and how they can become sacred invitations rather than setbacks. As we begin a new arc, Becoming Free, this conversation explores what it means to let go of what no longer serves you without losing yourself in the process. Through both clinical insight and spiritual reflection, we examine how our patterns, roles, and attachments were often formed through survival—and why releasing them can feel both necessary and unsettling.

This episode also gently confronts the reality that for many, trust is not easy. Past experiences—whether through abandonment, instability, or unhealthy relationships—can shape how we relate to others, ourselves, and even God. And so, letting go is not just about release—it’s about relearning trust.

Because you are not starting over. You are making space. And in that space, something deeper is being reclaimed.

In this episode, Dr. Charlestin also announces the release of his new book: Reclaiming Vision: Clarifying the Call. Embracing the Blueprint. If identity answers the question “Who am I?” then vision answers the question “What am I called to build?”

Available May 5 on Amazon and at findourbreath.com

You’re not starting over. You’re reclaiming.

What if holiness is not about perfection—but about wholeness?

For many, holiness has been shaped by ideas of flawlessness, spiritual performance, and having everything together. But what do we do with the parts of our lives that don’t fit that image—the wounds, the questions, the unfinished places?

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin invites listeners to reconsider holiness through a more compassionate and integrated lens. Drawing from both clinical insight and spiritual reflection, this conversation explores how shame fragments us—and how grace gently brings us back together.

Through the powerful imagery of restoration, we are reminded that our broken places are not disqualifications, but part of our story.

Because becoming whole is not separate from the sacred. It may be the very place where we encounter it.

Many of us learned early in life that certain parts of who we are were not welcome.

Our vulnerability. Our anger. Our questions. Our needs.

So we adapted. We became stronger, quieter, more agreeable, or more responsible in order to survive. But the parts we hide rarely disappear—they simply wait.

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores what it means to reclaim the parts of ourselves we learned to exile. Through the lens of psychology and spiritual reflection, we consider how healing invites us to move from fragmentation toward integration.

Because becoming whole is not about erasing parts of ourselves. It’s about welcoming them home with grace.

Healing rarely happens the way we expect it to.

Many of us were taught that pain should have a deadline—that if enough time passes, we should simply “get over it.” But the truth is that healing does not follow a schedule. It unfolds slowly, often quietly, through moments of awareness, compassion, and truth.

In this episode of Find Our Breath, Dr. Reginald Charlestin explores the sacred work of gentle repair—the process of tending to emotional and spiritual wounds with patience rather than pressure.

Blending clinical insight with spiritual reflection, this conversation invites listeners to reconsider what healing really looks like. Instead of forcing growth or rushing past pain, we learn to approach our wounds with compassion, allow time to do its work, and name the truths that set us free.

Healing is not about pretending the wound never existed.
 It is about allowing grace to transform its meaning.

Because becoming whole doesn’t happen through force.

It happens through compassion, patience, and truth.

Before we can become whole, we must gently ask: Where was I wounded?

In this episode, Dr. Reginald Charlestin invites listeners into a compassionate exploration of how unnoticed emotional and spiritual “paper cuts” shape identity, attachment, and survival strategies. Blending clinical insight with pastoral theology, he explores how early relational experiences form patterns in the nervous system, influence the way we love and lead, and even shape how we see God.

This is not an episode about blame.

It is about awareness.

Together, we examine how survival strategies can quietly become identity — and how grace helps us separate who we are from what we endured.

If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in ways you don’t fully understand…

If you’ve ever asked, “Why am I like this?”

This conversation offers language, compassion, and hope.

Because you are not your wound.

You are a person shaped by experience — and capable of healing.
