  • Dr. Alan Weissenbacher, The Brain Change Program
    After receiving an education in biology and at seminary, Dr. Alan Weissenbacher worked for the Denver Rescue Mission as a chaplain to the homeless. He helped move homeless and addicted people out of an urban setting to
    a one-hundred-acre farm, giving them opportunities to help run the farm, care for animals, and receive therapy tailored to their individual needs: counseling, addiction therapy, job training, and more.
    Inspired by the struggles of his clients and filled with the desire to improve
    Christian rehabilitation, Alan resigned from his position at the Denver Rescue Mission and enrolled in a doctorate program. He studied neuroscience and spiritual formation at the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley and engaged with the question of how to improve addiction recovery, church practices, and spiritual formation using the scientific knowledge of the brain.
    Alan serves as the managing editor for the academic journal Theology and Science and has published works with Johns Hopkins University Press, Vernon Press, and ATF Press on the subjects of science, religion, and ethics. He authored the chapter on neuroscience and the human person in the second edition of the college textbook Science and Religion: A Historical Introduction in addition to articles in several journals, including Theology and Science, Dialog, Wesleyan Theological Journal, and Zygon.
    Originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, Alan currently resides in Castro Valley, California, where he’s a full-time dad to two young boys and enjoys speaking at churches and organizations. Learn

  • Taking the 5 Leaps with Author Rachel G Scott

    Wife, mother, Bible teacher, and entrepreneur Rachel G. Scott loves to help men and women navigate their God-given callings. In Taking the 5 Leaps, Rachel equips readers to go from delay to action. What kind of leap are you being invited to make? And how can you prepare, plan, and execute that leap? This book outlines five types of leaps you can take using illustrations from the Bible and personal stories. 

     

    • The Fisherman’s Leap (Peter) – when you leave your comfort zone to pursue God’s instruction.
    • The Shepherd’s Leap (Abraham) – when you’re called to make a physical relocation.
    • The Builder’s Leap (Nehemiah) – when you have a reassignment for a specific season.
    • The Tentmaker’s Leap (Paul) – when your career and calling coincide in the same season.
    • The Trailblazer’s Leap (Jesus) – when you disciple and serve others as you partner with God’s vision.
    •  

      Taking a risk of any kind is often accompanied with feelings of fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. It requires courage and wisdom. Rachel introduces us to biblical characters who have paved the way to lead us into a greater understanding of God's heart and intentions for modern-day leapers. This is your invitation to take the leap and partner with God in living a leaping lifestyle!

       

      RACHEL G. SCOTT is a devoted wife, mother, and Ohio native. She holds a BSc from Kansas State and an MBA from the University of Mary. As founder of the I Can’t Come Down Movement, Bible teacher, and podcast host, she desires to inspire believers to walk in their purpose and assignment as they boldly take leaps of faith.

    • Madi's House with Julie Raleigh

      On this episode I am joined with Julie Raleigh, Madi's mom, founder of Madi's House in Cincinnati, Ohio. Julie along with an incredible team are eliminating barriers for young adults who are managing mental health challenges or the disease of addiction.

      About Madi's House

      Madi's House offers struggling young adults a place to fill time, find friends, and feel hope. Here you can gather in an accepting community and participate in meaningful activities as you work on recovery after programmatic care for mental illness or addiction.

      The daily grind of managing life with mental health issues and/ or the disease of addiction can get heavy. Madi knew that. One of her greatest frustrations was the lack of a safe, comfortable space to gather with others and just hang out.
      The doors of Madi's House are open for young adults struggling with mental health issues and who are clean and sober. We also welcome the family and loved ones supporting these young adults.

    • Building Mental Strength

      Have you ever trained for a 5k or another physically demanding task? It takes a lot of intention and planning from paying for a gym membership, making it to the gym, planning your menus of meals for the week, and grocery shopping.  Now let me ask you this. When is the last time you spent some time strengthening your mind? In today's podcast I'm going to be sharing an event I went to that got me thinking about our mindset and how it just might be time to spend some time on building mental strength.
