Love Better

A trip to Utah, a strange similar forest of aspens, and a reminder that love can be learned, repeated, and lived.  No excuses - follow the formula.

This year, we are learning to love better by exploring the greatest commandment – Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  We’ve searched our hearts and plumbed the depths of our soul for how to love the Lord better, and halfway through the year it is time to investigate our minds.  How do we love God with all our mind?  What does that even mean?  This week is the sixth in a ten-part series on learning to love better with our minds… and today, I want you to meet Pando, the Trembling Giant of Utah, and the world’s largest living organism.

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love.  I’d love for you to meet Dr. Jason Crowell. 

Dr. Crowell is an actively practicing neurologist and a dear friend.  We talk about neuroplasticity, habit formation, evidence for God in the human brain, and the need for compassion in a fallen world.

Jason is an expert well-worth listening to, and I have learned to love better because of his insights into the Scripture.

Seven Tesla MRI scan of the human brain mentioned during the show can be found here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlL7CEMX5bxzl1TqkJRK3pMV4Ax6By4bN&si=0OLfC5SHrXI6JydI

NORAD, WIMEX, OKO, and other sundry acronyms of power and the precipice of human destruction.

This year, we are learning to love better by exploring the greatest commandment – Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  We’ve searched our hearts and plumbed the depths of our soul for how to love the Lord better, and halfway through the year it is time to investigate our minds.  How do we love God with all our mind?  What does that even mean?  This week is the fourth in a ten-part series on learning to love better with our minds… and today, we must talk about two men.  One that almost destroyed the world, and another that saved it.  An American that almost killed us all, and a Russian that saved the planet.  1979 and 1983 the years that almost burned the world down.

A crystal clear lake, eminent domain, and the question of who's in charge of your mind.

Today we explore the eastern seaboard, the power of the LAT, and the soul work below the water line.

This is the last in a ten-part series on learning to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our soul.  The soul is that part of you that is eternal.  After death, after this life, all you will be left with is your soul to carry on into eternity.  If you don’t learn to love with all your soul, you won’t have any love left when life is over.

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love.  I’d love for you to meet Jordan Shouse.  Jordan is a father of four, a preacher in the Dallas Fort-Worth area, and one of the kindest men you will ever meet.  He has a heart for people, and an empathetic nature that has only been honed by the journey God has taken him on.

Jordan very kindly offered to talk with me on the record about his harrowing health journey and the impact it had on his faith, his family, his preaching, and his connection with others going through their own health trials.  I wasn’t sure whether he would want to talk about it publicly like this, but unsurprisingly, Jordan is an open book.

I entitled this conversation, ‘A Tale of Two Statues’ and as you listen, I think you will understand why.

One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love.  I’d like you to meet Steve Wilkes.  Steve Wilkes is a husband, father, Christian, and drug and alcohol counselor.  Steve and I talked about addiction in its many forms through a biblical lens.

For those listening with children’s ears nearby, we never talk about anything in a graphic way, but the words ‘pornography’ and ‘suicide’ do show up a couple of times.

We talk about chemical dependency, behavioral addictions, and Steve’s own road to restoration with the Lord.  It turns out that recovery from addiction is more than just a body issue – it’s a soul issue, too.  I believe this issue is worthy of our time and attention because, as always, the Bible has answers.  Whether you are battling addiction yourself, struggling with the impact of a loved one’s addiction, or simply want to learn how to be better prepared to love your neighbor as yourself –Steve provides practical tools to combat the idol of addiction.

If you would like further information about recovery from drug addiction or substance abuse recovery, feel free to contact me at [email protected], and I will happily connect you with Steve.
