Easter is coming up, and this episode is a refreshing reminder that God's redeeming work isn't just relegated to Him alone - He invites us to join with Him in the restoring plan He is working out... one that is constantly ongoing and active. And because He rose, we have hope and can rise and be transformed in our own lives. If you're struggling with old patterns that die hard or pain that seems pointless, you will find this uplifting.

Gardening terms are often commonly used in Bible passages as ways for God to describe His cultivating and transformative work in our lives. But, in today's not-so-agrarian world, we can be a bit removed from these metaphors and the picture they produce of our own hearts and journeys. Today's episode shows you a handful of lessons we can learn from gardens about spiritual growth. Whether or not you're into gardening yourself, you'll find this encouraging.

While less familiar to the faith community now than in generations past, the hymns have offered a solace for people in suffering that few other things can afford. Perhaps surprisingly, many of the authors of the great hymns we know were themselves individuals who struggled greatly with pain and problems. This episode is a reminder that your situation is no different than that of others, and you are not alone in what you are going through. The same trust that sustained these pioneers of the faith can also sustain you.

We all hold certain limiting ideas and lies that shape how we think and act. While the truth is always there and will always come out eventually, some of us have a hard time opening ourselves up to what it may show us and how it may change our life and beliefs. This episode is a challenge to not only identify what your personal lies are but also how they may be holding you back from the life God wants for you.

While perhaps not in the literal sense, exile seasons happen to all of us. We go through times when we feel incredibly dislocated, uprooted, and uncertain. Everything feels unpredictable, and we struggle to adapt and thrive in the midst. This week's episode takes you to the word God gave the exiled Hebrews through Jeremiah and reminds you to look for what God is doing in your life, even in personal times of exile that seem so unsure and difficult.

With it being Valentine's Day this week, today's episode is dedicated to the topic of relationships... but particularly, people-differences in relationships. God has created each one of us as unique persons with our own ways of doing and thinking and being but sometimes, those differences, however attractive initially, can become incredibly annoying over time. In this episode, you'll learn about how to see both yourself and others in a new light, hopefully leading to better communication, compassion, understanding, and healthier community as we learn how to "love one another" in the ways we each receive and give it best.

All of us deal with anger at different times over different things. Some of it is warranted and some, not. Most of the time, our anger ends up hurting ourselves and others instead of being harnessed to point us toward deeper things that must be addressed. Anger is built into us to be our warning sign, yet we often ignore it as such. In this episode, you'll find a frank discussion on what science and faith have to say about anger and why getting control of it is so important.

Common things like loss, trauma, transition, health problems, and adversity of any kind are certainly frequent and obvious contributors to mental distress. But what the health industry doesn't often talk about are the subtle things in our daily routines and diet and products that are equally, if not more so, adding to the mental issues we are dealing with. Today's episode touches on some surprising data and discoveries that prove the healing changes we need may not involve such drastic intervention - they can simply be done at home, given the proper knowledge. You'll find this one interesting and helpful!

Suffering has a way of skewing our view and sowing lies in our mind that things are so bad they can never get better. It's a common, human problem to assume the worst after you've experienced the worst. But hope means we keep turning our faces into the dark and believing that the pain won't last forever, and sun will shine again. Digging into the wisdom of a 19th century poem, this episode will look at why it matters so much that you wait expectantly for the dawn.
