October 08Episode 307: THE BODY AS A SCOREBOARD: How God Heals the Invisible War with Amanda Curry Interview ❖ 307
What happens when your theology is sound, your prayers are faithful, but your body is still locked in survival mode?
“Safety is predictable and reliable.”
In this grounding episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with Dr. Amanda Curry to pull back the curtain on the silent toll that prolonged striving, unresolved trauma, and unspoken dread take on the human frame. When we live from the neck up—praying for everyone else while privately wrestling with an internal fight—the nervous system keeps score.

Together, Kristen and Dr. Amanda explore the sacred intersection of somatic awareness and spiritual intimacy. The body is not a disposable rental; it is the temple of the Holy Spirit designed for felt safety, deep breath, and genuine communion. Moving from the breakdown on the kitchen floor to practical, Monday-morning rest, this conversation demystifies what it means to support your nervous system so your spirit can finally receive the peace Jesus promised. God does not demand that an exhausted child manufacture faith. He steps directly into the room, remembers your frame, assumes the guard, and gently teaches your body how to unclench.
In this episode, you will discover:
Why theology without embodiment leaves the nervous system trapped in survival.
The five self-protection patterns and how to reframe safety when your past was unsafe.
The body as a temple versus a rental: why somatic support is foundational to hearing God's whisper.
Moving from spiritual performance to true partnership with Jesus.

Have you ever felt like a thoroughbred pacing back and forth in a locked paddock? You have the training, the fire in your spirit, and the call stamped on your DNA—yet an invisible religious ceiling whispers that you need human permission before you take your stride.

Pull up a chair. Welcome to the living room of grace.

As a spiritual investigative journalist, I am here to offer outcome-focused, Monday-morning reality: raw stories, deep prayer, and simple activations that bridge the gap between Heaven and earth. In this breakthrough conversation on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, Pastor Cindy McLean (Mustard Seed Ministries and Rivers of Grace Church) joins me to pull back the curtain on what the Father is doing right now for His daughters.

The verdict has already been handed down: The gate is lifted. You are released to run.

September 24Episode 305: Beatitudes and Mercy Triumphant: How Timeless Plays Set You Free! with Carol Brenner ❖ 305
Do you ever feel like you are constantly performing just to keep up, or trapped behind closed doors with no clear way forward? In this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with Carol Brenner to explore how timeless plays and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount intersect to offer a safer, freer path. Discover how dropping the heavy armor of self-reliance and stepping into unstrained mercy changes everything.

What You Will Discover
How classic stories and Shakespeare's characters act as unvarnished mirrors for human pride, ambition, and grace.
The life-changing truth that mercy is not forced—it drops like gentle rain and is twice blessed.
Practical spiritual keys for moving past emotional burnout and finding true freedom in everyday life.
"Shakespeare isn't just a dusty textbook on a shelf; he is holding up an unvarnished mirror to the human heart. When you place his characters right next to the Sermon on the Mount, you realize they are mapping out the exact same journey: what happens when we choose our own ambition, versus when we surrender to the unstrained mercy of God."
— Carol Brenner

Episode Takeaways
The Monday-Morning Anchor: Stop sitting in judgment of closed doors; use your God-given imagination to carve a brand new path forward.
The Kingdom Reality: Mercy triumphs over judgment every single day when we choose to release our demand for retaliation.

September 17Episode 304: THE TWO-DOLLAR QUESTION: UnLocking the Operating System of Your HEART | with Doug Johnston ❖ 304
Are you trapped in an endless loop of worry, anxiety, or unspoken pain? On this episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with researcher and lexicographer D. Earl Johnston (Doug Johnston) to unpack his landmark book, Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart.

When Doug’s teenage daughter asked, "What do you know about depression?" it launched a nine-year quest across science, literature, and 30+ faith traditions. Doug discovered that roughly 25% of our everyday feelings are completely missing from modern psychology dictionaries.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL DISCOVER:
The Origin of the Two-Dollar Question: How an innocent family quiz game revealed a massive blind spot in modern emotional literacy.
Feelings vs. Clinical Formulations: Why traditional reference books describe the outside symptoms of emotion while leaving your heart starving for real language.
The Neuroscience of Self-Distancing: How speaking your hidden loops out loud shifts them into the physical realm, allowing the "laughter of recognition" to disarm recursive fear
🎶 Music Video: Two-Dollar Question
Name It to Tame It: Dr. Dan Siegel’s psychiatric breakthrough and why precise words allow your brain to build emotional stability.
Breaking the "Suck It Up" Habit: Kristen’s personal journey of overcoming emotional suppression and discovering that hidden pain keeps comfort at a distance.
Words Create Worlds: The ancient convergence of Davar, the Logos, and quantum spoken frequency in creating reality.
Speaking to the Mountain: Why faith comes by hearing, and why obstacles never move until your own voice speaks truth into the room.
Emotions as Navigational Gears: Why feelings are not a life sentence, but God-given instruments designed to steer you away from danger and toward joy.

August 20Episode 299: How to Trust God When Your Circumstances Disagree with Jen Allee ❖ 299
What do you do when your prayers are met with deafening silence, and your circumstances directly contradict everything you believe about God?
It is easy to trust God when the answers are flowing. But when you are stuck in the agonizing "in-between"—waiting for a healing, a restored relationship, or a delayed promise—uncertainty chips away at your peace. Before long, the quiet, toxic lies creep in: “Has God forgotten me? Am I doing something wrong? Is He punishing me?”
In this grounding episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with author and ministry leader Jen Allee (When Waiting Feels Like Withholding: Trusting God When You Doubt His Goodness) to pull back the curtain on the silent seasons of faith. Moving past neat spiritual clichés, Kristen and Jen dive into the raw, sacred work of trading performance shame for steady, unshakable trust in the heart of the Father.
In this episode, you will discover:
The Frozen Tree & The Racing Clouds: The powerful visual shift that proves God is moving at full speed behind the scenes, even when your immediate life feels completely on pause.
Dismantling the Punishment Lie: Why the cross permanently settled all divine punishment, and how to stop self-blaming when an answer is delayed.
Healing vs. Resurrection (The Lazarus Shift): Why Mary and Martha wanted an immediate healing, but Jesus had planned a greater resurrection—and how to recognize what He is raising in your life today.
The Mud, the Mire, and Psalm 40: Practical steps to meditate on scripture until your heart naturally moves from "Can You do this?" to "Thank You that You will."
The Book of Remembrance: How logging unexpected provisions and simple everyday blessings builds an undeniable testimony of God’s relentless faithfulness.
Music Video: The Clouds are Racing, original worship music by Kristen Wambach
If you are feeling pinned against the wall by a dream that hasn't materialized, this conversation will equip you to take a Spiritually BRAVE step forward and declare with confidence: It is well with my soul.

August 13Episode 298: Beyond the Performance Mask Surrendering Self-Will for Divine Alignment with Dr. Joseph Drolshagen ❖ 298
Are you secretly exhausted from carrying a high-performance mask while staring at a massive gap between what you pray for and the physical reality you actually experience? Have you ever wondered why no amount of white-knuckled hustle, extra tasks, or human willpower seems to shatter the silent scripts, inherited limitations, and internal ceilings keeping your life and vision small?

In this powerful episode of the Interviewing Jesus Podcast, host Kristen Wambach sits down with international coach, author, and minister Dr. Joseph Drolshagen to step completely outside the matrix of standard, task-based coaching.

Behind his Doctorate in Psychology and over three decades of developing Subconscious Mindset Training™ (The SMT Method™) lies a man whose perspective was forged in the real fires of life —from wrestling as a young boy with how we represent God, to enduring the tragic loss of four infant children, to resigning from a 28-year corporate executive career and leaping off a 2,000-foot mountain peak strapped to a hang glider.

Together, Kristen and Joseph pivot past the published pages and corporate achievements straight into the "quiet room" of real-world transformation:
Dismantling the Hustle Lie: Why white-knuckling habits fail and how to let the Holy Spirit rewrite your baseline identity.
Dropping the Performance Mask: How to navigate internal friction points on Monday morning without relying on human "attaboys" or surface-level success.
Dynamic Visioning™ vs. Self-Will: Shifting from rigid goal-setting into a living, Spirit-led vision anchored in trust rather than fear.
Breaking Generational Chains: Overcoming inherited programming of struggle and scarcity so your children never carry the burdens of your past.
