Head to Heart

We've taken you outside your religious world, now we're going to let you into our personal world. 

In this episode we get as real time as we ever have. 

I(Luke) went with my gut as we sat down to record this episode and asked Christa how she was feeling in the moment. 

What comes of this raw, vulnerable conversation is a couple choosing to find healing, transformation and awakening through infidelity, heartache, ownership, dedication and trusting that there is always light to be found within darkness. 

In this meditation Luke guides in a simple heart-focused gratitude meditation designed to help your body, mind, heart and emotions come into congruence. 

Be sure you are in a place that you won't be disturbed. Place both your feet on the ground and put you hands over your heart. Prepare to get connected!

After two years out we are coming out hot! In this episode we dig into the some our hard truth. 

If the truth sets us free then why don't feel free, live free or act free?

Are you free? Really free?

Or are you managing your issues? Have you resolved that you’re destined to live in a prison so you might as well decorate with some flowers and curtains? Do you dress up your cage to imitate freedom because you’re never really going to be free of your issues?

Or are you actually, legitimately free. Do you KNOW and are you experiencing a transformed life...for real? 

In this episode we take a look at what hasn't been working. We walk you through our stories and the steps we take on our journey towards freedom. 

Each week we bring you original meditations to help you practically move from your head to your heart. 

We're back!

The last time you heard from us we dove into our lives while picking up the pieces after the death of our daughter Goldie. 

We are so thankful to the 300,000 of you that became a part of our story and community as we uncovered our hearts and walked you through our journey of integrating Goldie's death. What an honor and pleasure it has been to be a part of your journey's as you have been a part of ours. 

After a 2 year hiatus, a new baby and the deconstruction of our bad christian theology. 

In this episode we let you in on where we've been and start to unpack the long road of hurts and healing we have been walking. 

From deep-diving our spiritual belief systems, reorienting the dynamics of our marriage, to recovering a love we could never imagine...we talk about it all. 

Tears, laughter, tension and love. We are glad to be back with the Head To Heart Podcast!

For most people, the word 'wholeness' is a pipe dream. But in this final episode of a 9 week series through the book 'Heart Made Whole,' Christa and Lucas share the reality of heart-wholeness through raw acceptance of each moment, keeping the heart connected to intimacy and love during the worst circumstances. As you learn to stay conscious of your present moment through raw acceptance, you can finally learn to stay present with the presence of God, who heals and restores everything.

When people talk about living from the heart, some fear that you're asking them to turn off their brain. In Chapter 8 of 'Heart Made Whole,' Christa and Lucas discuss the importance of the heart-brain connection, and how brain development and attachment proves how desperately the heart needs to experience love.

Did you know you're heart is constantly speaking to you? Most people live as though their hearts are foreigners, unable to decipher what the heart is trying to say (or scream) at them. In this weeks podcast, Lucas and Christa describe 4 languages that your heart is always speaking, and teach the listener how to finally understand their inner dialogue.

Do you understand the parts of your heart, knowing how to reconcile each part into connection with the Love who lives inside? In Chapter 5 of 'Heart Made Whole,' Christa and Lucas describe the Emotional Heart, Guardian Heart, and Function Heart, explaining how to understand each part and reconcile them into a conscious connection with love.

If God is good, then why are people abused? Why is there war? Why do people die tragically? In this weeks discussion in Chapter 4 of Christa's upcoming book 'Heart Made Whole,' Luke and Christa dive into the heavy (and somewhat controversial topic) of God's goodness in the midst of horrible suffering.
