Psychology of You with Dr. Crawford

The time to dream is NOW! You don’t have to wait until your circumstances have changed in order to start dreaming, or better yet, revive your old dreams that have been extinguished. Through an insightful and eye opening discussion, join me and the exhortation specialist Greg Hendricks in deciphering the best and next steps to developing an “unlocked” you!

Ever had an unrealistic dream that you finally realized you had to let go of? Today we have an incredibly humble, faithful, and accountable guest sharing his experience on letting go of unrealistic expectations, and seeking after truth and what’s right - not necessarily what’s comfortable. Jeff Farris has extensive experience in the business world and has had countless encounters with the Lord’s faithfulness that have proven the reality that the Lord never leaves us nor forsakes us. With every new position, promotion, demotion, and change of scenery, Jeff takes us through the process of a career change and how to honor each ebb and flow. 

Be encouraged by his story!

Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, money, social media, food, pornography, perfection - a non-exhaustive list of addictions. What happens when you are married to someone struggling with multiple addictions but feel led to stay with them? What do you do when the heat is turned up on your marriage and all hope seems lost? This week, we walked through this experience with my good friend Norma Urrabazo. When her marriage was on the brink of divorce due to harsh circumstances perpetuated by addiction, something shifted in her perspective that brought restoration to her marriage, family, and legacy.

Join the journey to a restored marriage, restored relationship, and restored freedom!

Verse referenced - The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. [Psalm 34:18]

“Well if he won’t do the dishes, then I won’t,” “If she won’t talk to me then I won’t talk to her.” These are examples of what might be said in a reciprocal love where you only give as much as the other in the relationship. Don’t be discouraged! This is a very common occurrence and can be remedied if we learn to switch from reciprocal to covenantal love in relationships. Dr. Ripley, the Hughes chair of Christian integration and co-director of the Charis Institute at Regent University, takes us through the process of what a “hope focused” relationship looks like.

Let’s learn to love above and beyond in service of one another, get vulnerable, and defend each others’ vulnerabilities!

It’s safe to say that the majority of us have experienced various symptoms on a regular basis whether it be brain fog, fatigue, headaches, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, anxiety, the list goes on. But what if we could eliminate those symptoms through our food? Maybe it seems too good to be true - we can assure you it’s not! This week, we are in the second installment of restoring joy in the kitchen with my amazing and brilliant friend Rebecca “Bec” Megan. Bec breaks down what happens in our body when we begin to nourish it with specific foods, spices, and recipes. Nutrition is a journey, so don’t expect a quick fix. Recognize the value in nourishing our bodies well and own the daily steps to get there!

As we’ve shared before, Bec is a health educator, cook, and is passionate about educating people. Her hope is to transform food culture in homes around the globe through education about the body and how food affects it. Bec wants people to love their kitchen. One of her favorite sayings is, “the body is designed for life and not disease.”

Join us on the journey to health and wholeness and let’s get back in the kitchen!
